EXPLANATORY
NOTE
On
or
about September 13, 2007, we consummated a securities purchase agreement (the
“September 2007 SPA”) in which we received aggregate proceeds of $4,000,000
reflecting a 20% original issue discount to the purchasers. Pursuant to the
September 2007 SPA, we issued:
|
·
|
An
aggregate of $5,110,294 of Senior Debentures, convertible into shares
of
our common stock at $0.80 per
share;
|
|
·
|
A
Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 6,387,868 shares of our
common
stock at an exercise price of $0.88 per share, for a period of 5
years
from the closing date of the September 2007
financing;
|
|
·
|
B
Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 6,387,868 units, each
unit
consisting of a share of our common stock and one C Warrant, at exercise
price of $0.80 per unit, for a period of 1 year from the effective
date of
the initial registration statement; the C Warrants permit the holders
thereof to purchase one share of our common stock at a price of $0.88
per
share.
|
During
the course of the audit for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2007, the
Company’s Chief Financial Officer discussed the accounting for the September
debenture financing with Cross, Fernandez & Riley, LLP. As a result, the
Company determined that the accounting for the September debenture was incorrect
and the effect of such misstatements was material. As a result, the Company
decided it will restate its previously filed quarterly report on Form 10-QSB
for
the quarter ended September 30, 2007. The restatements are required to properly
reflect the Company’s financial results for certain non-cash and non-operational
related charges or credits to earnings associated with both embedded and
freestanding derivative liabilities.
Historically,
the Company recorded the fair value of the warrants and intrinsic value of
the
beneficial conversion features of these convertible debentures as a credit
to
equity with a corresponding discount to the notes payable. The Company reviewed
its compliance with the SEC’s interpretation of EITF 00-19 as it relates to
these convertible securities, detachable warrants and registration rights.
The
Company has determined that it should have recorded a derivative liability
equal
to the fair value of both the detachable warrants and the embedded convertible
feature for certain debentures and then marked to market these derivative
liabilities at the end of each quarter and fiscal period.
For
the
convenience of the reader, this Form 10-Q/A sets forth the original Form 10-QSB
in its entirety. However, this Form 10-Q/A only amends our financial statements
and the footnotes to our financial statements, along with the corresponding
changes to our Management’s Discussion and Analysis. We also corrected
typographical errors and have revised our controls and procedures disclosure
as
a result of these restatements. No other information in the original Form 10-Q
is amended hereby. In addition, pursuant to the rules of the SEC, Item 6 of
Part
II to the Initial Filing has been amended to contain currently dated
certifications from our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial
Officer, as required by Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
The certifications of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial
Officer are attached to this Form 10Q/A as Exhibits 31.1, 31.2, 32.1 and 32.2,
respectively.

NOTE
1 – ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
Reporting
Entity.
Universal Energy Corp. and Subsidiaries (“Universal” or the “Company”) were
incorporated in the State of Delaware on January 4,
2002, January 24, 2002 and February 26, 2007, respectively. The
Company is authorized to issue 250,000,000 shares of common stock, par value
$0.0001. The Company’s office is located in Lake Mary, Florida. Universal Energy
Corp. is an independent energy company engaged in the acquisition and
development of crude oil and natural gas leases in the United States and
Canada.
Principles
of Consolidation.
The
Company’s consolidated financial statements for the periods ended September 30,
2007 and 2006, include the accounts of its wholly owned subsidiaries UT
Holdings, Inc. and Universal Explorations Corp. (new in 2007), both Delaware
corporations. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Discontinued
Operations.
Due to
our inability to expand our tanning operations, on May 21, 2006, the Board
of Directors approved changing the business direction from operating our single
tanning salon to fully pursuing plans to acquire and develop oil and natural
gas
properties. The Company sold the assets and ceased operations of its tanning
business in February 2007. The results of operations from the tanning salon
are
included in discontinued operations on the consolidated statements of
operations.
Name
Change.
On
May 21, 2006 a majority of the stockholders approved changing the name of
the Company from “Universal Tanning Ventures, Inc.” to “Universal Energy Corp.”
and increasing the number of shares of our capital stock we are authorized
to
issue to 250,000,000 shares, of which all 250,000,000 shares will be Common
Stock.
Stock-Split.
On
February 20, 2007, the Company declared a two and one-half-for-one stock
split in the form of a stock dividend, payable March 14, 2007 to
stockholders of record as of March 13, 2007. The Company retained the
current par value of $0.0001 for all shares of common stock. Stockholders’
equity has been restated to give retroactive recognition to the stock split
in
prior periods by reclassifying from additional paid-in-capital to common stock
the par value of the 16,826,885 shares arising from the split. Except where
and
as otherwise stated to the contrary in this annual report, all share and prices
per share have been adjusted to give retroactive effect to the change in the
price per share of the common stock resulting from the two and one-half-for-one
forward split of the common stock that took effect on March 14, 2007.
Reclassifications.
Certain
prior periods’ balances have been reclassified to conform to the current year
consolidated financial statement presentation. These reclassifications had
no
impact on previously reported consolidated results of operations or
stockholders’ equity.
NOTE
2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The
accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
by
Universal Energy Corp. (the “Company”) without audit, pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission for Form 10-Q.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America have been omitted pursuant to such rules and
regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate
to
make the information presented not misleading. The unaudited consolidated
financial statements included herein reflect all adjustments (consisting only
of
normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary
for a fair presentation of the financial position and operating results for
the
interim period. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results
that may be expected for the year. The unaudited consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto, together with management’s discussion and analysis
of financial condition and results of operation, for the year ended
December 31, 2006, contained in the Company’s December 31, 2006 Annual
Report on Form 10-KSB.

NOTE
2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION, CONTINUED
The
Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the
Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has experienced net losses
since January 4, 2002 (date of inception), which losses have caused an
accumulated deficit of approximately $8,534,200 as of September 30, 2007. These
factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to
continue as a going concern.
Management
has been able, thus far, to finance the losses, as well as the growth of the
business, mostly through private placements of our common stock, promissory
notes and debt offerings. The Company continues to seek other sources of
financing and is attempting to increase revenues by acquiring additional
domestic oil and gas prospects while completing the drilling on the prospects
the Company currently has an interest in.
In
view
of these conditions, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is
dependent upon its ability to obtain additional financing or capital sources,
to
meet its financing requirements, and ultimately to achieve profitable
operations. Management believes that its current and future plans provide an
opportunity to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated
financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the
recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and
classification of liabilities that may be necessary in the event the Company
cannot continue as a going concern.
NOTE
3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Income
Taxes.
The
Company accounts for income taxes utilizing the asset and liability method.
This
approach requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for
the
expected future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between
the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities
and
their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates
expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary
differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred
tax
assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in
the
period that includes the enacted date. The Company has net operating loss
carryforwards that may be offset against future taxable income. Due to the
uncertainty regarding the success of future operations, management has valued
the deferred tax asset allowance at 100% of the related deferred tax
assets.
Loss
per Share.
The
Company utilizes Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 128,
“Earnings Per Share.” Statement No. 128 requires the presentation of basic
and diluted loss per share on the face of the statement of operations. Basic
loss per share has been calculated using the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding during the period. The Company’s common stock warrants and
options have been excluded from the diluted loss per share computation since
their effect is anti-dilutive.
Full
Cost Method.
The
Company utilizes the full-cost method of accounting for petroleum and natural
gas properties. Under this method, the Company capitalizes all costs associated
with acquisition, exploration and development of oil and natural gas reserves,
including leasehold acquisition costs, geological and geophysical expenditures,
lease rentals on undeveloped properties and costs of drilling of productive
and
non-productive wells into the full cost pool. When the Company obtains proven
oil and gas reserves, capitalized costs, including estimated future costs to
develop the reserves proved and estimated abandonment costs, net of salvage,
will be depleted on the units-of-production method using estimates of proved
reserves. The costs of unproved properties are not amortized until it is
determined whether or not proved reserves can be assigned to the properties.
Until such determination is made, the Company assesses quarterly whether
impairment has occurred, and includes in the amortization base drilling
exploratory dry holes associated with unproved properties.

NOTE
3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED
Stock
Based Compensation.
Effective
January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based
Payment,” which requires the Company to record as an expense in its financial
statements the fair value of all stock-based compensation awards. The Company
currently utilizes a standard option pricing model (i.e., Black-Scholes) to
measure the fair value of stock options granted to employees using the “modified
prospective” method. Under the “modified prospective” method, compensation cost
is recognized in the financial statements beginning with the effective date,
based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123(R) for all share-based payments
granted after that date, and based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123(R)
for all unvested awards granted prior to the effective date of SFAS
No. 123(R). During 2005, no share-based payments were granted under the
Company’s stock option plan and therefore the Company did not have any
share-based compensation expense under the modified prospective method for
that
period.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments.
The
carrying amount of accounts payable, accrued expenses and promissory notes
approximates fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments.

5 – PROMISSORY NOTES
Promissory
Note with Stockholder - $250,000
.
On
June 12, 2007, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note in the
amount of $250,000 to a stockholder. Interest accrues on the outstanding
principal balance from and after June 12, 2007 at a rate of 11 percent per
annum. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year, and shall
be
charged on the principal outstanding from time to time for the actual number
of
days elapsed. The Company shall pay the Holder all accrued interest and the
outstanding principal on the maturity date. The maturity date of the note is
December 12, 2007.
Promissory
Notes - $750,000
.
On or
about June 12, 2007, the Company issued unsecured promissory notes in the
amount of $750,000 to certain investors. Interest accrues on the outstanding
principal balance from and after June 12, 2007 at a rate of 11 percent per
annum. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year, and shall
be
charged on the principal outstanding from time to time for the actual number
of
days elapsed. The Company shall pay the Holders all accrued interest and the
outstanding principal on the maturity date. The maturity date of the notes
is
December 12, 2007.
Contemporaneous
with the issuance of the promissory notes, a total of 750,000 warrants were
issued at an exercise price of $1.25. The warrants have 5 year term from the
date of the promissory note. If at any time after one year from the Initial
Exercise Date there is no effective registration statement (“Registration
Statement”) registering, or no current prospectus available for, the resale of
the Warrant Shares by the Holder, then this Warrant may also be exercised at
such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be
entitled to receive a certificate for the number of Warrant Shares equal to
the
quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where (A) = the Volume
Weighted Average Price (“VWAP”) on the Trading Day immediately preceding the
date of such election; (B) = the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as
adjusted; and (X) = the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of
this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant by means of a cash
exercise rather than a cashless exercise.
The
fair
value of the warrants issued was estimated at the date of grant using the
Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average
assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 5.13%; no dividend yields; volatility
factors of the expected market price of our common stock of 23.12; an estimated
forfeiture rate of 15%; and an expected life of the warrants of 5 years.
This generates a price of $0.39 per warrants based on a strike price of $1.25
at
the date of grant, which was June 12, 2007. As a result, approximately
$187,500 of discount on promissory notes and additional paid-in capital was
recorded during the nine month period ended September 30, 2007 relating to
the
issuance of promissory notes.
NOTE
6 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

NOTE
7 – CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES – SEPTEMBER 2007
On
or
about September 13, 2007, we consummated a securities purchase agreement (the
“September 2007 SPA”) in which we received aggregate proceeds of $4,000,000
reflecting a 20% original issue discount to the purchasers. Pursuant to the
September 2007 SPA, we issued:
|
·
|
An
aggregate of $5,110,294 of Senior Debentures, convertible into shares
of
our common stock at $0.80 per
share;
|
|
·
|
A
Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 6,387,868 shares of our
common
stock at an exercise price of $0.88 per share, for a period of 5
years
from the closing date of the September 2007
financing;
|
|
·
|
B
Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 6,387,868 units, each
unit
consisting of a share of our common stock and one C Warrant, at exercise
price of $0.80 per unit, for a period of 1 year from the effective
date of
the initial registration statement; the C Warrants permit the holders
thereof to purchase one share of our common stock at a price of $0.88
per
share.
|
The
Senior Debentures are due and payable on August 31, 2009, and will begin to
amortize monthly commencing on September 1, 2008. The Senior Debentures bear
interest at a rate of eight percent per annum. The amortization may be effected
through cash payments, or at our option subject to certain conditions, through
the issuance of shares of our common stock, based on a price per share equal
to
80% of the lowest three (3) closing bid prices of the common stock over the
20
trading days immediately preceding the date of such payment.
Until
the
maturity date of the Senior Debentures, the purchasers have the right to convert
the Senior Debentures, in whole or in part, into shares of our common stock
at a
price $0.80. The conversion price may be adjusted downward under circumstances
set forth in the Senior Debentures. If so adjusted, the aggregate number of
shares issuable, upon conversion in full, will increase.
The
Senior Debentures include customary default provisions and an event of default
includes, among other things, a change of control, the sale of all or
substantially all of our assets, the failure to file and have a registration
statement declared effective on or before the deadlines set forth in the
Registration Rights Agreement, or the lapse of the effectiveness of registration
statements for more than 20 consecutive trading days or 30 non-consecutive
days
during any 12-month period (with certain exceptions) which results in such
indebtedness being accelerated. Upon the occurrence of an event of default,
each
Debenture may become immediately due and payable, either automatically or by
declaration of the holder of such Debenture. The aggregate amount payable upon
an acceleration by reason of an event of default shall be equal to the greater
of 125% of the principal amount of the Senior Debentures to be prepaid or the
principal amount of the Senior Debentures to be prepaid, divided by the
conversion price on the date specified in the Debenture, multiplied by the
closing price on the date set forth in the Debenture. Since a registration
statement was not filed timely, the debentures are in technical default and
have
therefore been recorded as a current liability.

7 – CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES – SEPTEMBER 2007, CONTINUED
The
purchasers also received A Warrants to purchase 6,387,868 additional shares
of
common stock at a price of $0.88 per share exercisable for five (5) years.
The
investors also received B Warrants to purchase 6,387,868 additional shares
of
common stock at a price of $0.80 per share exercisable for one year after the
registration statement is declared effective. The investors will also receive
a
C Warrant with the exercise of the B Warrant that will allow the investors
to
purchase 6,387,868 additional shares of common stock at a price of $0.88 per
share exercisable for a period of five (5) years. The exercise price of the
warrants may be adjusted downward under the circumstances set forth in the
warrants. All warrants vest immediately upon issuance. If so adjusted, the
aggregate number of shares issuable, upon exercise in full, will be increased
so
that the total aggregate cash exercise price remains constant. Upon the
occurrence of an event of default, the holder of the warrant can demand payment
for their warrants at fair value.
The
debenture agreements also have certain milestones that the Company has agreed
to
that if not met, results in the repricing of the conversion rate and warrant
exercise price. One such milestone was a revenue target to be achieved by March
31, 2008.
Our
obligations to the Holders in the September 2007 financing are secured by a
senior security interest and lien granted upon all of our assets pursuant to
the
terms of a Security Agreement entered into in connection with the
closing. The Senior Debentures and the September 2007 Warrants
contain anti-dilution provisions.
In
connection with this transaction, each purchaser has contractually agreed to
restrict its ability to convert the Senior Debentures, exercise the warrants
and
additional investment rights and receive shares of our common stock such that
the number of shares of our common stock held by them and their affiliates
after
such conversion or exercise does not exceed 4.99% of the number of shares of
our
common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion
or
exercise.
The
agreements included a number of other embedded derivative instruments, and
the
Company has applied the provisions of FAS 155 “Accounting for Certain Hybrid
Financial Instruments”, to record the fair values of the convertible debentures,
and related derivatives, as of September 13, 2007, the date of issuance.
The fair values of the debentures and related derivative
instruments were valued using the Black-Scholes model, resulting in an initial
fair value of approximately $8,621,400. The effects of interactions between
embedded derivatives are calculated and accounted for in arriving at the overall
fair value of the financial instruments. The excess of the fair value over
the
transaction price of the Debentures was recorded through the results of
operations as a debit of approximately $4,621,400 to Charges Related to Issuance
of September 2007 Convertible Debentures and Warrants.
The
2007
Convertible Debentures and related derivatives outstanding at September 30,
2007 were again valued at fair value using a combination of Binomial and Black
Scholes models, resulting in a decrease in the fair value of the liability
of
approximately $1,218,800, which was recorded through the results of operations
as a credit to adjustments to fair value of embedded derivatives.
In
connection with this financing, we paid cash fees to a broker-dealer of $120,000
and issued a warrant to purchase 280,000 shares of common stock at an exercise
price of $0.88 per share. The initial fair value of the warrant was estimated
at
approximately $147,900 using the Black Scholes pricing model. The assumptions
used in the Black Scholes model are as follows: (1) dividend yield of 0%,
(2) expected volatility of 64.45%, (3) risk-free interest rate of
5.09%, and (4) expected life of 2 years. Cash fees paid, and the
initial fair value of the warrant, have been capitalized as debt issuance costs
and are being amortized over 24 months using the effective interest rate
method.

8 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
On
February 20, 2007, the Company declared a two and one-half-for-one stock
split in the form of a stock dividend, payable March 14, 2007 to
stockholders of record as of March 13, 2007. The Company retained the
current par value of $0.0001 for all shares of common stock. Stockholders’
equity has been restated to give retroactive recognition to the stock split
in
prior periods by reclassifying from additional paid-in-capital to common stock
the par value of the 16,531,285 shares arising from the split. Except where
and
as otherwise stated to the contrary in this report, all share and prices per
share have been adjusted to give retroactive effect to the change in the price
per share of the common stock resulting from the two and one-half-for-one
forward split of the common stock that took effect on March 14, 2007.
Between
January 2007 and May 2007, the Company issued 976,038 shares of restricted
common stock to offshore investors and was exempt from registration pursuant
to
Regulation S for net proceeds of $283,886.
On
October 15, 2006 we offered for sale $1,500,000 in $15,000 units. The
offering closed in February 2007 and the all of the warrants were redeemed
in
April 2007. Pursuant to this offering, the Company sold 2,070,000 shares of
restricted stock to investors for net proceeds of $773,000 between January
and
April 2007. Each investor had access to and was provided with relevant
information concerning the company. The securities were exempt from registration
pursuant to Rule 506 of Regulation D and Section 4(2) of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
On
October 6, 2006, the Company entered into a two-year employment agreement
with Mr. Kevin Tattersall to be its chief exploration officer. As part of his
compensation and pursuant to the agreement, we issued Mr. Tattersall
812,500 shares of common stock in the company. The stock issued to
Mr. Tattersall is restricted as defined by the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended. The shares will vest monthly over the term of the employment agreement
and vesting is contingent upon continued employment with the Company. Any
remaining unvested shares of common stock at the time of termination or
resignation from the Company will be forfeited by the executive. At the date
of
issuance, the shares were valued at the closing bid price on October 6,
2006 at $0.80. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2007, the
Company recorded approximately $242,500 as compensation expense under this
agreement for the vesting of 304,686 shares.
During
2007, the Company issued 75,000 shares of restricted common stock to members
of
the Company’s advisory board. At the date of each issuance, the shares were
valued at the closing bid price. For the nine month period ended
September 30, 2007, the Company recorded approximately $134,200 as
compensation expense under these agreements.

shares of our common stock, par value $0.0001, were authorized for issue. The
vesting and terms of all of the options are determined by the Board of Directors
and may vary by optionee; however, the term may be no longer than 10 years
from
the date of grant.
In
September 2006, the Company awarded 12,500,000 stock options to certain
employees, officers, and directors for services rendered. Under FASB Statement
No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment,” these options were valued at fair value at
the date of grant. The fair value of the options issued was estimated at the
date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following
weighted-average assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 4.65%; no dividend
yields; volatility factors of the expected market price of our common stock
of
0.71; an estimated forfeiture rate of 15%; and an expected life of the options
of 3 years. This generates a price of $0.39 per option based on a strike
price of $0.78 at the date of grant, which was September 15, 2006. As a
result, approximately $1,035,600 of compensation expense and additional paid-in
capital was recorded during the nine month period ended September 30, 2007
relating to the vesting of 2,083,334 options awarded. As of September 30,
2007, a total of 8,159,724 nonvested shares remained outstanding with a weighted
average price of $0.78 and a grant date value of $0.39 per share. At
September 30, 2007, the aggregate intrinsic value of the stock options
issued and vested was $3,125,000 and $1,085,100, respectively.

Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operation.
The
following discussion of our plan of operation, financial condition and results
of operations should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated
financial statements, and notes thereto, included elsewhere herein. This
discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated
in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors including,
but not limited to, those discussed in this Quarterly Report. See “Special Note
Regarding Forward Looking Statements” included elsewhere in this Quarterly
Report. Additional risk factors are also identified in our annual report to
the
U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission filed on Form 10-KSB and in other
SEC
filings.
Corporate
History
We
were
incorporated in the State of Delaware on January 4, 2002, under the name of
"Universal Tanning Ventures, Inc." From inception until 2006, we owned and
operated a single indoor tanning salon business that offered a full range of
indoor tanning products and services to our customers. On May 21, 2006, we
changed our name to "Universal Energy Corp." and focused our operations on
the
acquisition and development of oil and natural gas properties.
Plan
of Operation
We
are an
independent energy company engaged in the acquisition and development of crude
oil and natural gas leases in the United States and Canada. We pursue oil
and gas prospects in partnership with oil and gas companies with exploration,
development and production expertise. Our minority working interests in drilling
prospects currently consist of land in Alberta, Canada, Louisiana and Texas.
As
we expand our business we will eventually seek to act as the operator of those
properties in which we have an interest.
We
have
working interests ranging from 7.5% to 95.00% in the various prospects in which
we are a participant. A “working interest” is a percentage of ownership in an
oil and gas lease granting its owner the right to explore, drill, and produce
oil and gas from a tract of property. Working interest owners are obligated
to
pay a corresponding percentage of the cost of leasing, drilling, producing,
and
operating a well or unit. After royalties are paid, the working interest also
entitles its owner to share in production revenues with other working interest
owners based on the percentage of working interest owned. A “net revenue
interest” is a share of production after all burdens, such as royalties, have
been deducted from the working interest. It is the percentage of production
that
each party actually receives.
Since
inception, we have funded our operations primarily from private placements
of
our common stock and debt issuances. Although we expect that, during the next
12
months, our operating capital needs will be met from our current economic
resources and by additional private capital stock transactions, there can be
no
assurance that funds required will be available on terms acceptable to us or
at
all. Without additional financing, we expect that our current working capital
will be able to fund our operations through November 2007. If we are unable
to
raise sufficient funds on terms acceptable to us, we may be unable to complete
our business plan. If equity financing is available to us on acceptable terms,
it could result in additional dilution to our stockholders.
As
of
September 30, 2007, although we have completed the drilling and are currently
completing production of certain well, we are still considered to have no proved
reserves. From inception to September 30, 2007, we have accumulated losses
of
approximately $8,414,000 and expect to incur further losses in the development
of our business, all of which casts doubt about our ability to continue as
a
going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon
our
ability to generate future profitable operations and/or to obtain the necessary
financing to meet our obligations and repay our liabilities arising from normal
business operations when they become due.
We
estimate the drilling and completion costs to operate our prospects and our
business for the next twelve months are as follows:

Working
interest before casing point
Nisku
Reef Prospect – Alberta, Canada
In
September 2006, we acquired a working interest in the Nisku Reef project which
is situated in the Pembina oil field. We have an agreement to earn a 95% working
interest in 480 acres of leased lands by drilling a test well to the base of
the
Nisku formation, subject to a convertible 15.0% GORR (gross overriding royalty)
to the lease holder. The allowable 160 acre spacing does permit for up to three
wells to be drilled on this prospect.
We
have
performed 3-D seismic programs and magneto telluric programs on our prospect
during the 4
th
quarter
of 2006 and the first quarter of 2007.
We
anticipate seeking joint venture partners for this prospect. We do not have
any
arrangements with any third party regarding the drilling program on this
property.
Caviar
Prospects – Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana
In
March
2007
,
we
signed
a participation agreement that expanded our oil and gas exploration and
production activities into Southeastern Louisiana. The agreement allowed us
to
earn a 10% working interest before casing point and a 7.5% interest after casing
point based on the participation in the drilling of a test well. If we satisfy
our obligation, we then have the right to participate in three remaining wells
to be drilled within the prospect. This prospect, named Caviar, lies in the
prolific Middle Miocene Trend, which stretches across most of Southeastern
Louisiana. Drilling on the first well was completed in September 2007 and the
subsequent election was made by well participants to complete the well.
Production casing has been set and the well is expected to start production
in
December 2007, as soon as the gas pipeline is installed to the
prospect.
East
OMG Prospect – Cameron Parish, Louisiana
We
signed
a participation agreement in August 2007 that gives us the right to earn a
17.5%
working interest before casing point and a 13.125% interest after casing point
based on the participation in the drilling of a well on the East OMG Prospect.
Wells adjacent to the East OMG Prospect such as Chalkley Miogyp field and S.
Lake Arthur, have cumulative production of 500 billion BCFE and 800 billion
BCFE, respectively; however, you should note that proximity of these fields
to
our property provides no assurance that we will establish any reserves on our
property.
Production
from the adjacent wells listed above is from the same Upper Miogyp sandstones
that are the main objective of the East OMG Prospect. The combined reserve
potential of the four principal objective sandstones that comprise the East
OMG
prospect is estimated to be greater than 59 BCFE. The project began drilling
in
October 2007 and is scheduled to conclude drilling in December
2007.
Lake
Campo Prospect – Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana
We
have a
9.375% interest after casing point in the Lake Campo Prospect; this prospect
is
an established productive structure that produces gas from water drive sands
down-dip to the proposed drill location. Lake Campo also lies in the prolific
Middle Miocene Trend. Drilling was completed on the test well in October 2007
and the election was made to complete the well.
W.
Rosedale Prospect –Ibervile Parish, Louisiana
We
have
the right to earn a 15.0% working interest before casing point and a 12.0%
interest after casing point based on the participation in the drilling of a
test
well. This prospect, named W. Rosedale, is a 3-D and sub-surface supported,
multiple objective, 10,150’ normal pressured drilling prospect located 20 miles
west of Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Drilling on the prospect began in October 2007
and is scheduled to be completed in November 2007.
Lone
Oak Prospect – Galveston Bay, Texas
We
have
the right to earn a 12.5% working interest before casing point and a 9.375%
interest after casing point based on the participation in the drilling of a
test
well. This prospect, named Lone Oak, is a 3,526 acre prospect located in the
inland waters of Galveston Bay, Texas. Drilling of this 13,000 foot well is
scheduled to begin in late November 2007.
Miscellaneous
We
are
not obligated to provide quantities of oil or gas in the future under existing
contracts or agreements. We have not filed any reports containing oil or gas
reserve estimates with any federal or foreign governmental authority or agency
within the past 12 months.

Net
Loss.
Net loss
for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was approximately $7,160,600
compared to $84,900 for 2006. The increase in our net loss was due to the
reasons described herein above.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Net
cash
used in operating activities totaled approximately $4,157,300 during the nine
months ended September 30, 2007, compared to net cash used in operating
activities of approximately $202,800 for the same period in 2006. Net cash
used
in discontinued operating activities totaled approximately $42,600 during the
nine months ended September 30, 2007, compared to net cash provided by
discontinued operations of approximately $21,500 for the same period in 2006.
Cash
used
in investing activities from operating activities totaled $1,678,600 and $-
during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Capital
expenditures in 2007 were primarily comprised of drilling and completion costs
associated with our oil and gas prospects.
Net
cash
provided by financing activities totaled approximately $5,734,800 and $229,000
during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. During
the nine months ended September 30, 2007, financing activities consisted of
proceeds from the sale of debentures by the company.
At
September 30, 2007 we had cash balances in the amount of approximately $314,700.
Our principal source of funds has been cash generated from financing activities.
We have been unable to generate significant liquidity or cash flow from our
current operations. We anticipate that cash flows from continuing operations
or
discontinued operations will be insufficient to fund our business operations
for
the full year 2007 and that we must continue attempting to raise additional
capital to fund our operations and implement our business plan.
Variables
and Trends
We
have
no operating history with respect to our acquisition and development of oil
and
gas properties. In the event we are able to obtain the necessary financing
to
move forward with our business plan, we expect our expenses to increase
significantly as we grow our business. Accordingly, the comparison of the
financial data for the periods presented may not be a meaningful indicator
of
our future performance and must be considered in light these
circumstances.
Critical
Accounting Policies
We
prepare our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America. As such, we are required
to
make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that we believe are reasonable
based upon the information available to us. These estimates and assumptions
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the periods presented. The significant accounting policies that we believe
are
the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported
financial results include the following:
Net
operating loss carryforwards
.
As of
September 30, 2007, we have incurred a net operating loss of approximately
$8,534,200 since inception. This net operating loss may be used to reduce future
federal income taxes, if any.
No
provision for federal or state income taxes has been recorded,
and
we
have not recorded any benefit was not recognized due to the possibility that
the
net operating loss carryforward would not be utilized, for various reasons,
including the potential that we might not have sufficient profits to use the
carryforward or that the carryforward may be limited as a result of changes
in
our equity ownership. We intend to use this carryforward to offset our future
taxable income. If we were to use any of this net operating loss carryforward
to
reduce our future taxable income and the Internal Revenue Service were to then
successfully assert that our carryforward is subject to limitation as a result
of capital transactions occurring in 2002 or otherwise, we may be liable for
back taxes, interest and, possibly, penalties prospectively.
Impairment
of Long Lived Assets.
We
assess
the impairment of long-lived assets on an ongoing basis and whenever events
or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable
based upon an estimate of future undiscounted cash flows. Factors we consider
that could trigger an impairment review include the following: (i) significant
underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future operating
results; (ii) significant changes in the manner of our use of the acquired
assets or the strategy for our overall business; (iii) significant negative
industry or economic trends; (iv) significant decline in our stock price for
a
sustained period; and (v) our market capitalization relative to net book
value.
When
we
determine that the carrying value of any long-lived asset may not be recoverable
based upon the existence of one or more of the above indicators of impairment,
we measure impairment based on the difference between an asset’s carrying value
and an estimate of fair value, which may be determined based upon quotes or
a
projected discounted cash flow, using a discount rate determined by our
management to be commensurate with our cost of capital and the risk inherent
in
our current business model, and other measures of fair value.
Full
Cost Method
.
The
Company utilizes the full-cost method of accounting for petroleum and natural
gas properties. Under this method, the Company capitalizes all costs associated
with acquisition, exploration and development of oil and natural gas reserves,
including leasehold acquisition costs, geological and geophysical expenditures,
lease rentals on undeveloped properties and costs of drilling of productive
and
non-productive wells into the full cost pool. As of September 30, 2007, the
Company had no properties with proven reserves. When the Company obtains proven
oil and gas reserves, capitalized costs, including estimated future costs to
develop the reserves proved and estimated abandonment costs, net of salvage,
will be depleted on the units-of-production method using estimates of proved
reserves. The costs of unproved properties are not amortized until it is
determined whether or not proved reserves can be assigned to the properties.
Until such determination is made, the Company assesses annually whether
impairment has occurred, and includes in the amortization base drilling
exploratory dry holes associated with unproved properties.
Off
Balance Sheet Arrangements
We
have
no 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 investors.

The total acres or wells, as the case may be, in which a working interest is
owned.
Mcf
.
Thousand cubic feet of natural gas.
Mcfe
.
Thousand cubic feet equivalent, determined using the ratio of six Mcf of natural
gas to one Bbl of crude oil, condensate or natural gas liquids.
MMcf
.
Million cubic feet of natural gas.
Net
.
"Net"
oil and gas wells or "net" acres are determined by multiplying gross wells
or
acres by our working interest in those wells or acres.
Oil
and gas producing activities
.
Such
activities include: (a) The search for crude oil, including condensate and
natural gas liquids, or natural gas in their natural states and original
locations.(b) The acquisition of property rights or properties for the purpose
of further exploration and/or for the purpose of removing the oil or gas from
existing reservoirs on those properties. (c) The construction, drilling and
production activities necessary to retrieve oil and gas from its natural
reservoirs, and the acquisition, construction, installation, and maintenance
of
field gathering and storage systems-including lifting the oil and gas to the
surface and gathering, treating, field processing (as in the case of processing
gas to extract liquid hydrocarbons) and field storage.
Operator
.
In a
joint venture for the execution of works or as defined in a joint operating
agreement, the "Operator" entity charged with the responsibility for the
execution of all works and is normally responsible to authorities for the
representation and legal execution of all related agreements and contracts.
Producing
Well
.
A well
from which hydrocarbon or non- hydrocarbons in a fluid or gaseous state flow
or
are extracted on a daily basis.
Prospect
.
A specific geographic area which, based on supporting geological,
geophysical or other data and also preliminary economic analysis using
reasonably anticipated prices and costs, is deemed to have potential for the
discovery of commercial hydrocarbons.
Proved
developed oil and gas reserves
.
Reserves that can be expected to be recovered through existing wells with
existing equipment and operating methods. Additional oil and gas expected
to be obtained through the application of fluid injection or other improved
recovery techniques for supplementing the natural forces and mechanisms of
primary recovery should be included as “proved developed reserves” only after
testing by a pilot project or after the operation of an installed program
has confirmed through production responses that increased recovery will be
achieved.
Proved
oil and gas reserves
.
The estimated quantities of crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids
which geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty
to
be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic
and
operating conditions, i.e., prices and costs as of the date the estimate
is made. Reservoirs are considered proved if economic producibility is
supported by either actual production or conclusive formation test. The
area of a reservoir considered proved includes (a) that portion delineated
by
drilling and defined by gas-oil and/or oil-water contacts, if any, and (b)
the
immediately adjoining portions not yet drilled, but which can be reasonably
judged as economically productive on the basis of available geological and
engineering data. In the absence of information on fluid contacts, the
lowest known structural occurrence of hydrocarbons controls the lower
proved limit of the reservoir. Reserves which can be produced economically
through application of improved recovery techniques (such as fluid injection)
are included in the “proved” classification when successful testing by a pilot
project, or the operation of an installed program in the reservoir,
provides support for the engineering analysis on which the project or program
was based. Estimates of proved reserves do not include the
following: (a) oil that may become available from known reservoirs
but is classified separately as “indicated additional reserves”; (b) crude
oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids, the recovery of which is subject
to reasonable doubt because of uncertainty as to geology, reservoir
characteristics or economic factors; (c) crude oil, natural
gas and natural gas liquids that may occur in undrilled prospects; and (d)
crude
oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids that may be recovered from oil
shales, coal, gilsonite and other such sources.
Proved
properties
.
Properties with proved reserves.
Proved
undeveloped reserves
.
Reserves that are expected to be recovered from new wells on undrilled acreage
or from existing wells where a relatively major expenditure is required for
recompletion. Reserves on undrilled acreage are limited to those drilling
units offsetting productive units that are reasonably certain of production
when
drilled. Proved reserves for other undrilled units can be claimed only
where it can be demonstrated with certainty that there is continuity of
production from the existing productive formation. Proved undeveloped
reserves may not include estimates attributable to any acreage for which an
application of fluid injection or other improved recovery technique is
contemplated, unless such techniques have been proved effective by actual tests
in the area and in the same reservoir.
Unproved
properties
.
Properties with no proved reserves.
Working
interest
.
The operating interest that gives the owner the right to drill, produce and
conduct operating activities on the property and receive a share of
production.
3-D
Seismic
.
The
term
applied to describe the method of acquiring seismic data that result in a
three-dimensional grid of data (x,y,time) of the subsurface. 3D seismic data
is
usually acquired as a complete grid and interpreted within this specialized
grid
that allows the interpreter to generate three-dimensional maps of the
subsurface.
Off
Balance Sheet Arrangements
We
have
no 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 investors.
Special

the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking
statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations
will
prove to be correct. Disclosure of important factors that could cause actual
results to differ materially from the Company’s expectations, or cautionary
statements, are included under “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this report ,
including, without limitation, in conjunction with the forward-looking
statements. The following factors, among others that could cause actual results
to differ materially from the Company’s expectations, include:
·

written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to the Company, or
persons acting on the Company’s behalf, are expressly qualified in their
entirety by the cautionary statements. Except as required by law, the Company
undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect
events or circumstances after the date on which it is made or to reflect the
occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances.

more
comprehensive list of such factors and related discussion are set forth in
our
Annual Report on Form 10-KSB and our other filings made with the SEC from time
to time.
ITEM
3 - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a)
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
Our
management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and
principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure
controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act)) as of
September 30, 2007. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer
and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls
and
procedures were not effective as a result of a material weakness in internal
controls as of September 30, 2007 in ensuring that information that is required
to be disclosed by us in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange
Act
is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods
specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and (ii)
accumulated and communicated to our management as appropriate to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our
management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal
control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)
promulgated under the Exchange Act). Even an effective system of internal
control over financial reporting, no matter how well designed, has inherent
limitations, including the possibility of human error, circumvention or
overriding of controls and, therefore, can provide only reasonable assurance
with respect to reliable financial reporting. Furthermore, the effectiveness
of
a system of internal control over financial reporting in future periods can
change as conditions change.
(b)
Changes in internal control over financial reporting
.
Our
management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial
reporting as of September 30, 2007. We have determined that a material weakness
in our internal control over the reporting of the valuation of our September
and
November debentures existed during the third and fourth quarter of 2007. The
control deficiency resulted from the lack of effective detective and monitoring
controls within internal control over financial reporting over these accounts.
In addition, as previously disclosed, the Company only has two employees and
therefore, an adequate segregation of duties is difficult. Solely as a result
of
this material weakness, we concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures
were not effective as of September 30, 2007. We have taken and will take the
following actions to enhance our internal controls: retain additional
specialized staff in the preparation of annual and interim financial statements
and implement a system of segregation of duties in the processing of
transactions within the recording cycle. Other than with respect to the
identification of this weakness in internal control procedures, there was no
change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter
and
year ended September 30, 2007 that materially affected, or is reasonably likely
to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.

(c)
|
In
2007, the Company issued 976,038 shares of restricted common stock

In
2007,
the Company sold 2,070,000 shares of restricted stock to investors for net
proceeds of $773,000. Each investor had access to and was provided with relevant
information concerning the company. The securities were exempt from registration
pursuant to Rule 506 of Regulation D and Section 4(2) of the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended
During
2007, the Company issued 75,000 shares of restricted common stock to members
of
the Company’s advisory board. At the date of each issuance, the shares were
valued at the closing bid price. For the period ended September 30, 2007, the
Company recorded approximately $134,200 as compensation expense under these
agreements.
On
or
about September 13, 2007, we consummated a securities purchase agreement (the
“September 2007 SPA”) in which we received aggregate proceeds of $4,000,000
reflecting a 20% original issue discount to the purchasers. Pursuant to the
September 2007 SPA, we issued:
|
·
|
An
aggregate of $5,110,294 of Senior Debentures, convertible into shares
of
our common stock at $0.80 per
share;
|
|
·
|
A
Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 6,387,868 shares of our
common
stock at an exercise price of $0.88 per share, for a period of 5
years
from the closing date of the September 2007
financing;

Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 6,387,868 units, each
unit
consisting of a share of our common stock and one C Warrant, at exercise
price of $0.80 per unit, for a period of 1 year from the effective
date of
the initial registration statement; the C Warrants permit the holders
thereof to purchase one share of our common stock at a price of $0.88
per
share.
