PART I
 
ITEM 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
 
Historical Background

Universal Property Development and Acquisition Corporation was incorporated in the State of California in 1982 under the name Tahoe Lake Concession. In August 1983 we changed our name to BAOA, Inc., in November 2000 we changed our name to Call Solutions, Inc., and in November 2003 we changed our name to Procore Group, Inc. In June 2005, our Board of Directors authorized and approved the upstream merger of our wholly owned subsidiary, Universal Property Development and Acquisition Corporation, a Nevada corporation which had no operations, with and into UPDA pursuant to Chapter 92A of the Nevada Revised Statutes (the "Upstream Merger"). The Upstream Merger became effective on June 17, 2005, when we filed Articles of Merger with the Nevada Secretary of State. In connection with the Upstream Merger, and as authorized by Section 92A.180 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, we changed our state of domicile from California to Nevada and changed our name from Procore, Inc. to Universal Property Development and Acquisition Corporation. The Board of Directors of UPDA as it existed prior to the Upstream Merger survived the merger with no resignations or new appointments.

As a result of the name change, our common stock now trades on the OTC Bulletin Board under the trading symbol “UPDA.OB”. Our common stock also trades on the Berlin Stock Exchange under the trading symbol “UP1.BE”; on the XETRA Stock Exchange under the trading symbol “UP1.DE”; on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the trading symbol “UP1.F”; on the Munich Stock Exchange under the trading symbol “UP1.MU”; and on the Struttgart Stock Exchange under the trading symbol “UP1.SG”.

General

Our principal executive offices are located at 14255 U.S. Highway 1, Suite 209, Juno Beach, FL 33408, and our telephone number is (561) 630-2977.

We are engaged in the oil and natural gas acquisition, production, development, storage, distribution and blending industry. We currently have operations in the State of Texas. Our focus for the current fiscal year will be on developing our existing properties and operations, while continuing to pursue acquisitions of oil and gas properties with the potential for increased production through the application of modern production technologies.

We operate as a holding company. We operate in one segment and our business operation is focused primarily on Exploration and Production. We currently operate our own fields through our wholly owned UPDA Operators, Inc. subsidiary. Additionally, we currently own an oil and gas gathering system that is approximately 85 miles of pipeline. Our operations are conducted through our subsidiaries, which are either wholly-owned or operate as joint ventures with other entities in the oil and natural gas acquisition, development, production or transportation industry. Through the formation of subsidiaries and joint ventures, we have been able to expand our portfolio of assets, broaden our base of operations and hire or otherwise engage individuals with extensive industry knowledge and experience.
 
Our current operating subsidiaries and joint ventures are UPDA Operators, Inc., UPDA Texas Trading, Inc., US Petroleum Depot, Inc., Catlin Oil & Gas, Inc., Ambient Wells Services, Inc., Canyon Creek Oil & Gas, Inc., West Oil & Gas, Inc., Texas Energy, Inc. and Texas Energy Pipeline & Gathering Systems, Inc.

Operations

The following is a description of the operations and entities that are in our business.

Exploration and Production

The primary purpose of our Exploration and Production focus is the acquisition and development of currently producing oil and gas properties with existing wells that are in need of modernization through the use of technology. The goal of our operations in the Exploration and Production division is to acquire oil and gas leases on such properties and improve the profitability of the existing oil and gas wells. The objective is to improve the oil and gas output of the existing wells on our leased properties through the modernization of the well equipment and the application of various new production increasing technologies.

Where appropriate, we may also drill additional wells on our leased properties to increase the productivity of that property. We will only engage in such drilling when the prospects for increased productivity are strong and the risk of drilling a non-producing well is low. To date we have not drilled any new wells on our leased property.

The oil and gas lease properties in our Exploration and Production portfolio are owned by four of our majority owned joint venture companies. The names of these joint venture companies are Canyon Creek Oil & Gas Inc. (“CCOG”), a Nevada corporation, Catlin Oil & Gas, Inc. (“Catlin”), a Nevada corporation, West Oil & Gas Inc. (“WOG”), a Nevada corporation, and Texas Energy, Inc. (“TEI”), a Nevada corporation. The operations of the properties are managed by our wholly-owned subsidiary UPDA Operators, Inc. (“UPDA-OI”), a Nevada corporation.
 

 
Canyon Creek Oil & Gas, Inc.

Canyon Creek Oil & Gas Inc. (“CCOG”), a Nevada corporation, was formed in July 2005 as a joint venture entity between us, US Production & Exploration, LLC (“USPX”) and Triple Crown Consulting (“TCC”) for the purpose of acquiring certain currently producing oil and gas properties, low risk drilling prospects and existing oil and gas wells on properties in several locations in the State of Texas. We own sixty percent (60%) of the capital stock of CCOG, USPX owns thirty percent (30%) of the capital stock of CCOG, TCC owns five percent (5%) of the capital stock of CCOG, and Anjos Partners Ltd. (“APL”) recently acquired five percent (5%). CCOG holds the leases to approximately sixty (60) oil and gas wells located on more than 2,000 acres in North Texas. CCOG also holds leases on oil and gas properties located in Archer, Palo Pinto, Young, Victoria and Coleman County, Texas. CCOG is pursuing a revitalization program on some of its properties in order to improve production and profitability and to bring more wells on line. CCOG owns a 100% working interest in all the wells covered by its leases.

The following table shows the status of the wells at December 31, 2006 owned by CCOG on its leases:

Catlin Oil & Gas, Inc.

Catlin Oil & Gas Inc. (“Catlin”), a Nevada corporation, was formed in 2006. It is a joint venture entity between us, Eleben Partners, Ltd (“EPL”) and APL for the purpose of acquiring certain currently producing oil and gas properties, low risk drilling prospects and existing oil and gas wells on properties in Jack County, Texas. We own ninety percent (90%) of the capital stock of Catlin, EPL owns five percent (5%) of the capital stock of Catlin, and APL owns five percent (5%) of the capital stock of Catlin. Catlin holds the leases to approximately sixty-five (65) oil and gas wells located on more than 3,000 acres in Jack County, Texas. Catlin is currently pursuing a revitalization program on all of its leases in order to improve production and profitability and to bring more wells on line.

West Oil & Gas, Inc.

West Oil & Gas Inc. (“WOG”), a Nevada corporation, was formed in October 2005 as a joint venture entity between us, the Masaood Group (“MG”), Triple Crown Consulting, Inc. (“TCC”), and RAKJ, Inc. (“RI”) for the purpose of potentially acquiring oil and gas properties and existing wells in the state of Utah. We own seventy percent (70%) of the capital stock of WOG, MG owns twenty percent (20%) of the capital stock of WOG, and TCC and RI each own five percent (5%) of the capital stock of WOG. WOG did not pursue the acquisition of leases on the properties in Utah, and WOG is currently in the process of reviewing the potential acquisition of oil and gas leases on properties in the State of Texas.

As of December 31, 2006, WOG did not have any business operations or assets.

Texas Energy, Inc.

Texas Energy, Inc. (“TEI”), a Nevada corporation, was formed in March 2006 as a joint venture entity with Sundial Resources, Inc. for the purpose of acquiring and developing the Thresher-Medlin leasehold on properties in Young County, Texas. Upon the formation of this joint venture entity, we owned seventy percent (70%) of the capital stock of TEI and Sundial Resources, Inc. owned the remaining thirty percent (30%) of the capital stock of TEI.
 


In December 2006, but effective July 01, 2006, TEI entered into a series of agreements where TEI assigned its interests in Threser-Medlin leases to Sundial Resources Inc, and paid Sundial Resources Inc. $200,000 in return for its stock in Texas Energy Inc. As a result, UPDA owns one hundred percent (100%) of the capital stock of TEI. As of December 31, 2006, TEI had no business operations or assets.

UPDA Operators, Inc.

UPDA Operators, Inc. (“UPDA-OI”), a Nevada corporation, was formed in 2006 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the company. UPDA-OI is designated by the Texas Railroad Commission as the operator of all UPDA subsidiaries leases and additionally provides managerial, legal and administrative services for all of the properties in our Exploration and Production division. UPDA-OI employs the personnel that engage in the managerial and administrative activities that are necessary to operate the properties owned by CCOG, Catlin and WOG and TEI. UPDA-OI, among other things, provides operational, geological, engineering, legal, land and handles accounting and bookkeeping activities necessary to commercially operate the assets of the company that are in our Exploration and Production division. By centralizing the division’s operations in UPDA-OI, we take advantage of economies of scale, maximize the productivity of employees and avoid duplicative costs and activities.

Business Developments in Our Exploration and Production Division

Since August 2005, we have striven to build our asset base and achieve growth in our Exploration and Production division primarily through the acquisition of leases on currently producing oil and gas properties with existing oil and gas wells that will benefit from the application of modern production technologies and low risk drilling prospects. From the implementation of our business plan through December 31, 2006, we have increased our proved reserves to approximately 15,714 Barrels of Oil and 109,983 Mcf of natural gas, based on third party engineering reports by Long Consultants Inc and Eventech Inc. As of December 31, 2006, our estimated proved reserves had a pre-tax PV10 (present value of future net revenues before income taxes discounted at 10%) of approximately .$.438 million. We spent approximately $3.4 million on acquisitions and capital projects during 2006.

We have a portfolio of oil and natural gas reserves, with approximately 46% of our proved reserves consisting of oil and approximately 54% consisting of natural gas. Approximately 100% of our proved reserves are classified as proved developed producing, or “PDP.” None of our proved reserves are classified as proved developed non-producing, or “PDNP,” and approximately none are classified as proved undeveloped, or “PUD.”

Management believes its reserves are substantially higher than what is reflected in the independant third party reserve report. These third party reserve reports were impacted by the transition of operations from TransPecos (Orr) to UPDA Operators and by a active workover program.. Third party engineers require approximately 120 days of consistent production which UPDA was unable to achieve on many of its properties.

Management intends to continue to monitor production from the wells on a quarterly basis to assess whether the oil and gas properties are further impaired than what was reflected as of December 31, 2006.
 

 
 
Ambient Wells Services, Inc.

Ambient Wells Services, Inc. (“Ambient”), a Nevada corporation, was formed in 2006 as a joint venture with Damary. We own eighty percent (80%) of the capital stock of Ambient, Damary owns twenty percent (20%) of the capital stock of Ambient. Ambient was formed for the purpose of providing operational and maintenance services to all of the wells and oil production equipment located on the properties in our Exploration and Production division.

Texas Energy Pipeline and Gathering Systems, Inc.

Texas Energy Pipeline and Gathering Systems, Inc. (“TEPG”), a Nevada corporation, was formed in 2006 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the company. TEPG owns no assets at December 31, 2006.

US Petroleum Depot, Inc.

US Petroleum Depot, Inc. (“US Petroleum”), a Nevada corporation, was formed in 2006 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the company. In late 2006, US Petroleum entered into an agreement to purchase an oil blending and distribution facility located at 32 Espiritu, Brownsville, Texas. US Petroleum closed on the storage facility in the first quarter of 2007. The property leased and operated by US Petroleum consists of, but is not limited to: (i) approximately 5.45 acres of real property, (ii) four oil storage tanks with an aggregate capacity of 48,000 barrels, (iii) ship channel access via two 8 inch diameter oil pipelines that measure 2,000 feet each, (iv) a railroad spur to receive or load oil via rail cars with a capacity of up to 800 barrels each and (v) equipment to allow the loading and unloading of oil from tanker trucks.

U.S. Petroleum intends to use the Brownsville facility in the operation of its business of receiving, storing and distributing petroleum products. The Brownsville facility will allow U.S. Petroleum to receive and to load barges of diverse capacities, and to receive and load rail cars. US Petroleum is currently preparing manifolds to accommodate the pumps required in order to receive shipments of petroleum via truck transport. U.S. Petroleum contracted the firm of MWS Consultants of Brownsville, Texas to assist in the preparation of the proper documentation to be filed with regulators such as the United States Coast Guard, OSHA, EPA and has now obtained all operational permits required for its business operations.
 
Competitive Business Conditions

We operate in a highly competitive environment for acquiring properties, modernizing existing wells, marketing oil and natural gas and securing trained personnel. The majority of our competitors possess and employ financial, technical and personnel resources substantially greater than ours, which can be particularly important in the areas in which we operate. Those companies may be able to pay more for productive oil and natural gas properties and exploratory prospects and to evaluate, bid for and purchase a greater number of properties and prospects than our financial or personnel resources permit. Our ability to acquire additional prospects and to find and develop reserves in the future will depend on our ability to evaluate and select suitable properties and to consummate transactions in a highly competitive environment. Also, there is substantial competition for capital available for investment in the oil and natural gas industry.

Current competitive factors in the domestic oil and gas industry are unique. The actual price range of crude oil is largely established by major international producers. Pricing for natural gas is more regional. Because the current domestic demand for oil and gas exceeds supply, we believe there is little risk that all current production will not be sold at relatively fixed prices. To this extent we do not believe we are directly competitive with other producers, nor is there any significant risk that we could not sell all our current production at current prices with a reasonable profit margin. The risk of domestic overproduction at current prices is not deemed significant. However, more favorable prices can usually be negotiated for larger quantities of oil and/or gas product. In this respect, while we believe we have a price disadvantage when compared to larger producers, we view our primary pricing risk to be related to a potential decline in international prices to a level which could render our current production uneconomical.

 
Major Customers

We principally sell our oil and natural gas production to marketers and other purchasers that have access to nearby pipeline facilities. In areas where there is no practical access to pipelines, oil is trucked to storage facilities. Our marketing of oil and natural gas can be affected by factors beyond our control, the effects of which cannot be accurately predicted. For the fiscal year 2006, one purchaser, Sunoco Partners Marketing & Terminals LP, was responsible for generating approximately 77% of our total oil sales, and one purchaser , Enbridge G & P (North Texas) LP., was responsible for generating approximately 71% of our natural gas sales. However, we believe that the loss of either of these oil and gas purchasers would not materially impact our business, because we could readily find other purchasers for our oil and gas as produced.
 

 
Governmental Regulations
 
Regulation of Transportation of Oil

Sales of crude oil, condensate and natural gas liquids are not currently regulated and are made at negotiated prices. Nevertheless, Congress could reenact price controls in the future.

Our sales of crude oil are affected by the availability, terms and cost of transportation. The transportation of oil in common carrier pipelines is also subject to rate regulation. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, or the FERC, regulates interstate oil pipeline transportation rates under the Interstate Commerce Act. Intrastate oil pipeline transportation rates are subject to regulation by state regulatory commissions. The basis for intrastate oil pipeline regulation, and the degree of regulatory oversight and scrutiny given to intrastate oil pipeline rates, varies from state to state.

Insofar as effective interstate and intrastate rates are equally applicable to all comparable shippers, we believe that the regulation of oil transportation rates will not affect our operations in any way that is of material difference from those of our competitors. Further, interstate and intrastate common carrier oil pipelines must provide service on a non-discriminatory basis. Under this open access standard, common carriers must offer service to all shippers requesting service on the same terms and under the same rates. When oil pipelines operate at full capacity, access is governed by pro-rationing provisions set forth in the pipelines’ published tariffs. Accordingly, we believe that access to oil pipeline transportation services generally will be available to us to the same extent as to our competitors.

Regulation of Transportation and Sale of Natural Gas

Historically, the transportation and sale for resale of natural gas in interstate commerce have been regulated pursuant to the Natural Gas Act of 1938, the Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978 and regulations issued under those Acts by the FERC. In the past, the federal government has regulated the prices at which natural gas could be sold. While sales by producers of natural gas can currently be made at uncontrolled market prices, Congress could reenact price controls in the future.

Since 1985, the FERC has endeavored to make natural gas transportation more accessible to natural gas buyers and sellers on an open and non-discriminatory basis. The FERC has stated that open access policies are necessary to improve the competitive structure of the interstate natural gas pipeline industry and to create a regulatory framework that will put natural gas sellers into more direct contractual relations with natural gas buyers by, among other things, unbundling the sale of natural gas from the sale of transportation and storage services. Although the FERC’s orders do not directly regulate natural gas producers, they are intended to foster increased competition within all phases of the natural gas industry.

We cannot accurately predict whether the FERC’s actions will achieve the goal of increasing competition in markets in which our natural gas is sold. Therefore, we cannot provide any assurance that the less stringent regulatory approach recently established by the FERC will continue. However, we do not believe that any action taken will affect us in a way that materially differs from the way it affects other natural gas producers.

Intrastate natural gas transportation is subject to regulation by state regulatory agencies. The basis for intrastate regulation of natural gas transportation and the degree of regulatory oversight and scrutiny given to intrastate natural gas pipeline rates and services varies from state to state. Insofar as such regulation within a particular state will generally affect all intrastate natural gas shippers within the state on a comparable basis, we believe that the regulation of similarly situated intrastate natural gas transportation in any states in which we operate and ship natural gas on an intrastate basis will not affect our operations in any way that is of material difference from those of our competitors.


The production of oil and natural gas is subject to regulation under a wide range of local, state and federal statutes, rules, orders and regulations. Federal, state and local statutes and regulations require permits for drilling operations, drilling bonds and reports concerning operations. All of the states in which we own and operate properties have regulations governing conservation matters, including provisions for the unitization or pooling of oil and natural gas properties, the establishment of maximum allowable rates of production from oil and natural gas wells, the regulation of well spacing, and plugging and abandonment of wells. The effect of these regulations is to limit the amount of oil and natural gas that we can produce from our wells and to limit the number of wells or the locations at which we can drill, although we can apply for exceptions to such regulations or to have reductions in well spacing. Moreover, each state generally imposes a production or severance tax with respect to the production and sale of oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids within its jurisdiction.

The failure to comply with these rules and regulations can result in substantial penalties. Our competitors in the oil and natural gas industry are subject to the same regulatory requirements and restrictions that affect our operations.


Environmental Compliance and Risks

Our oil and natural gas exploration, development and production operations are subject to stringent federal, state and local laws and regulations governing the discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise relating to environmental protection. Historically, most of the environmental regulation of oil and gas production has been left to state regulatory boards or agencies in those jurisdictions where there is significant gas and oil production, with limited direct regulation by such federal agencies as the Environmental Protection Agency. However, while we believe this generally to be the case for our production activities in Texas, there are various regulations issued by the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) and other governmental agencies that would govern significant spills, blow-outs, or uncontrolled emissions.

In Texas, specific oil and gas regulations apply to the drilling, completion and operations of wells, and the disposal of waste oil and salt water. There are also procedures incident to the plugging and abandonment of dry holes or other non-operational wells, all as governed by the applicable governing state agency.

At the federal level, among the more significant laws and regulations that may affect our business and the oil and gas industry are: The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, also known as “CERCLA” or Superfund; the Oil Pollution Act of 1990; the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, also known as “RCRA”; the Clean Air Act; Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972, or the Clean Water Act; and the Safe Drinking Water Act of 1974.

Compliance with these regulations may constitute a significant cost and effort for us. No specific accounting for environmental compliance has been maintained or projected by us at this time. We are not presently aware of any environmental demands, claims, or adverse actions, litigation or administrative proceedings in which either us or our acquired properties are involved or subject to, or arising out of any predecessor operations.

In the event of a breach of environmental regulations, these environmental regulatory agencies have a broad range of alternative or cumulative remedies which include: ordering a clean-up of any spills or waste material and restoration of the soil or water to conditions existing prior to the environmental violation; fines; or enjoining further drilling, completion or production activities. In certain egregious situations the agencies may also pursue criminal remedies against us or our principal officers.
Management’s Business Strategies

Our goal is to increase stockholder value by 1) investing in oil and gas projects with attractive rates of return on capital employed, 2) growing our Well Services company, and 3) growing and expanding our Trading company. We plan to achieve these goals by 1) exploiting and developing our existing oil and natural gas properties and pursuing acquisitions of additional properties, 2) contracting with third parties for well maintenance services and 3) increasing the volume of our condensate trading and expanding into the fuel blending and distribution market. Specifically, we have focused, and plan to continue to focus, on the following:

Developing and Exploiting Existing Properties. We believe that there is significant value to be created by drilling the identified undeveloped opportunities on our properties. We believe that our current and future cash flow and financing activities will enable us to undertake the exploitation of our properties through additional drilling and development activities.

Pursuing Acquisitions. We have historically pursued acquisitions of properties that we believe to have exploitation and development potential. We will pursue an acquisition program designed to increase reserves and complement our existing core properties. We have access to an experienced team of management and engineering professionals who identify and evaluate acquisition opportunities, negotiate and close purchases and manage acquired properties. During our fiscal year 2006, we acquired approximately 3,000 acres at an acquisition cost of approximately $2.0 million, had capital development expenditures of approximately $1.3 million. While our emphasis in 2007 and beyond is anticipated to focus on the further development of our existing properties, we will continue to look for properties with both existing cash flow from production and future development potential.


Expansion of Well Services. Through our subsidiary, Ambient Wells Services, Inc., we intend to expand our current well services operations to include existing wells that are not owned, or partly owned, by our company. Ambient employs or has contracts with an experienced group of well services professionals. Management believes that currently there is substantial demand for well servicing personnel as a result of historically high oil and natural gas prices. Many older oil and gas wells that had been inactive can now be run on a profitable basis as a result of the recent increases in oil and gas prices. Management believes that this increase in well operating activity will enable the company to enter into well servicing contracts through Ambient, and to thereby leverage Ambient’s personnel into a new source of revenue for the company.

Expansion of Trading. Through our wholly-owned subsidiary, US Petroleum Depot, Inc., we intent to expand our current condensate trading operations and enter into the fuel blending and wholesale distribution markets. Pursuant to our relationship with UPDA Texas Trading, we estimate that approximately 40,000 barrels of condensate per month are currently received, stored and distributed by US Petroleum at the Brownsville facility. US Petroleum expects to research and develop a unique formula for unleaded gasoline through the blending of fuels with varying octane levels. US Petroleum is in the process of cultivating a distribution network to market and deliver this new product to independent dealers and retail outlets. As this network matures, we intend to increase the volume of production and we anticipate the acquisition of additional storage and blending facilities to facilitate this business area.
 


Current Employees

As of December 31, 2006, we had 19 full-time employees. Our employees are not represented by any labor union. We consider our relations with our employees to be satisfactory and have never experienced a work stoppage or strike.


ITEM 1A - RISK FACTORS

You should carefully consider each of the risks described below, together with all of the other information contained or incorporated by reference in this Annual Report. If any of the following risks develop into actual events, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected and the trading prices of our common stock could decline.

General Risks Related to Our Company

We Have a Limited Operating History.
 
Because our business plan was only adopted in July 2005 we have a limited operating history. Such limited operating history makes it more difficult to predict whether or not we will be successful in the future. Our future financial and operational success is subject to the risks, uncertainties, expenses, delays and difficulties associated with managing a new business, many of which may be beyond our control. In addition, we compete in a volatile and highly price sensitive industry and we may face many uncertainties. Our success will depend on many factors, including those described in this Risk Factors section.

We Have a History of Losses and May Need Additional Financing
 
We have experienced operating losses, as well as net losses, for each of the years during which we have operated. We anticipate future losses and negative cash flow to continue for the foreseeable future.

To date, we have received only limited revenue from the sale of our products. We have incurred significant costs in connection with the development of our leases and properties and there is no assurance that we will achieve sufficient revenues to offset anticipated operating costs. Although we anticipate deriving revenues from the sale of our oil and gas production, no assurance can be given that these products can be sold on a net profit basis. Included in such former and future losses are development expenses and general and administrative expenses. We anticipate that our losses will continue until we are able to generate sufficient revenues to support our operations. If we achieve profitability, we cannot give any assurance that we would be able to sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis in the future.
 
Similarly, in the future, we may not generate sufficient revenue from operations to pay our operating expenses. If we fail to generate sufficient cash from operations to pay these expenses, our management will need to identify other sources of funds. We may not be able to borrow money or issue more shares of common or preferred stock to meet our cash needs. Even if we can complete such transactions, they may not be on terms that are favorable or reasonable from our perspective. 

We May Not Be Able to Borrow Funds

There currently are no legal limitations on our ability to borrow funds to increase the amount of capital available to us to carry out our business plan. However, our limited resources and limited operating history will make it difficult to borrow funds. The amount and nature of any such borrowings would depend on numerous considerations, including our capital requirements, our perceived ability to meet debt service on any such borrowings and the then prevailing conditions in the financial markets, as well as general economic conditions. There can be no assurance that debt financing, if required or sought, would be available on terms deemed to be commercially acceptable by us and in our best interest.

Managing Growth and Expansion.

We currently anticipate a period of growth as a result of the recent changes in our corporate structure and the production and sale of oil and gas by our subsidiaries and joint venture entities under the leases on their properties. The resulting strain on our managerial, operational, financial and other resources could be significant. Success in managing any such expansion and growth will depend, in part, upon the ability of senior management to manage effectively. Any failure to manage the anticipated growth and expansion could have a material adverse effect on our business.
 


Risks Relating to the Oil and Natural Gas Industry and Our Business

A substantial or extended decline in oil and natural gas prices may adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations and our ability to meet our capital expenditure obligations and financial commitments.

The price we receive for our oil and natural gas production heavily influences our revenue, profitability, access to capital and future rate of growth. Oil and natural gas are commodities and, therefore, their prices are subject to wide fluctuations in response to relatively minor changes in supply and demand. Historically, the markets for oil and natural gas have been volatile. These markets will likely continue to be volatile in the future. The prices we receive for our production, and the levels of our production, depend on numerous factors beyond our control. These factors include, but are not limited to, the following:

 
·
changes in global supply and demand for oil and natural gas;
 
 
·
the actions of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, or OPEC;
 
 
·
the price and quantity of imports of foreign oil and natural gas;
 
 
·
political conditions, including embargoes, in or affecting other oil-producing activity;
 
 
·
the level of global oil and natural gas exploration and production activity;
 
 
·
the level of global oil and natural gas inventories;
 
 
·
weather conditions;
 
 
·
technological advances affecting energy consumption; and
 
 
·
the price and availability of alternative fuels.

Lower oil and natural gas prices may not only decrease our revenues on a per share basis but also may reduce the amount of oil and natural gas that we can produce economically. Lower prices will also negatively impact the value of our proved reserves. A substantial or extended decline in oil or natural gas prices may materially and adversely affect our future business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or ability to finance planned capital expenditures.

A substantial percentage of our proven properties are undeveloped; therefore the risk associated with our success is greater than would be the case if the majority of our properties were categorized as proved developed producing.

Because a substantial percentage of our proven properties are proved undeveloped (approximately 95%) we will require significant additional capital to develop such properties before they may become productive. Further, because of the inherent uncertainties associated with drilling for oil and gas, some of these properties may never be developed to the extent that they result in positive cash flow. Even if we are successful in our development efforts, it could take several years for a significant portion of our undeveloped properties to be converted to positive cash flow.

While our current business plan is to fund the development costs with cash flow from our other producing properties, if such cash flow is not sufficient we may be forced to seek alternative sources for cash, through the issuance of additional equity or debt securities, increased borrowings or other means.

Drilling for and producing oil and natural gas are high risk activities with many uncertainties that could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Our future success will depend on the success of our exploitation, exploration, development and production activities. Our oil and natural gas exploration and production activities are subject to numerous risks beyond our control, including the risk that drilling will not result in commercially viable oil or natural gas production. Our decisions to purchase, explore, develop or otherwise exploit prospects or properties will depend in part on the evaluation of data obtained through geophysical and geological analyses, production data and engineering studies, the results of which are often inconclusive or subject to varying interpretations. Please read “—Reserve estimates depend on many assumptions that may turn out to be inaccurate” (below) for a discussion of the uncertainty involved in these processes. Our cost of drilling, completing and operating wells is often uncertain before drilling commences. Overruns in budgeted expenditures are common risks that can make a particular project uneconomical. Further, many factors may curtail, delay or cancel drilling, including the following:

 
·
delays imposed by or resulting from compliance with regulatory requirements;
 
 
·
pressure or irregularities in geological formations;
 
 
·
shortages of or delays in obtaining equipment and qualified personnel;
 
 
·
equipment failures or accidents;
 
 
·
adverse weather conditions;
 
 
·
reductions in oil and natural gas prices;
 
 
·
title problems; and
 
 
·
limitations in the market for oil and natural gas.

If our assessments of recently purchased properties are materially inaccurate, it could have significant impact on future operations and earnings.
 


The successful acquisition of producing properties requires assessments of many factors, which are inherently inexact and may be inaccurate, including the following:

 
·
the amount of recoverable reserves;
 
 
·
future oil and natural gas prices;
 
 
·
estimates of operating costs;
 
 
·
estimates of future development costs;
 
 
·
estimates of the costs and timing of plugging and abandonment; and
 
 
·
potential environmental and other liabilities.

Our assessment will not reveal all existing or potential problems, nor will it permit us to become familiar enough with the properties to assess fully their capabilities and deficiencies. As noted previously, we plan to undertake further development of our properties through the use of cash flow from existing production. Therefore, a material deviation in our assessments of these factors could result in less cash flow being available for such purposes than we presently anticipate, which could either delay future development operations (and delay the anticipated conversion of reserves into cash), or cause us to seek alternative sources to finance development activities.

If oil and natural gas prices decrease, we may be required to take write-downs of the carrying values of our oil and natural gas properties, potentially negatively impacting the trading value of our securities.

Accounting rules require that we review periodically the carrying value of our oil and natural gas properties for possible impairment. Based on specific market factors and circumstances at the time of prospective impairment reviews, and the continuing evaluation of development plans, production data, economics and other factors, we may be required to write down the carrying value of our oil and natural gas properties. A write-down could constitute a non-cash charge to earnings. It is likely the cumulative effect of a write-down could also negatively impact the trading price of our securities.

Reserve estimates depend on many assumptions that may turn out to be inaccurate. Any material inaccuracies in these reserve estimates or underlying assumptions will materially affect the quantities and present value of our reserves.

The process of estimating oil and natural gas reserves is complex. It requires interpretations of available technical data and many assumptions, including assumptions relating to economic factors. Any significant inaccuracies in these interpretations or assumptions could materially affect the estimated quantities and present value of our reported reserves.

In order to prepare our estimates, we must project production rates and timing of development expenditures. We must also analyze available geological, geophysical, production and engineering data. The extent, quality and reliability of this data can vary. The process also requires economic assumptions about matters such as oil and natural gas prices, drilling and operating expenses, capital expenditures, taxes and availability of funds. Therefore, estimates of oil and natural gas reserves are inherently imprecise.

Actual future production, oil and natural gas prices, revenues, taxes, development expenditures, operating expenses and quantities of recoverable oil and natural gas reserves most likely will vary from our estimates. Any significant variance could materially affect the estimated quantities and present value of our reported reserves. In addition, we may adjust estimates of proved reserves to reflect production history, results of exploration and development, prevailing oil and natural gas prices and other factors, many of which are beyond our control.

You should not assume that the present value of future net revenues from our reported proved reserves is the current market value of our estimated oil and natural gas reserves. In accordance with SEC requirements, we generally base the estimated discounted future net cash flows from our proved reserves on prices and costs on the date of the estimate. Actual future prices and costs may differ materially from those used in the present value estimate. If future values decline or costs increase it could negatively impact our ability to finance operations, and individual properties could cease being commercially viable, affecting our decision to continue operations on producing properties or to attempt to develop properties. All of these factors would have a negative impact on earnings and net income, and most likely the trading price of our securities.

Prospects that we decide to drill may not yield oil or natural gas in commercially viable quantities.

Our prospects are in various stages of evaluation, ranging from prospects that are currently being developed, to prospects that will require substantial additional seismic data processing and interpretation. There is no way to predict in advance of drilling and testing whether any particular prospect will yield oil or natural gas in sufficient quantities to recover drilling or completion costs or to be economically viable. This risk may be enhanced in our situation, due to the fact that a significant percentage of our proved reserves are currently proved undeveloped reserves. The use of seismic data and other technologies and the study of producing fields in the same area will not enable us to know conclusively prior to drilling whether oil or natural gas will be present or, if present, whether oil or natural gas will be present in commercial quantities. We cannot assure you that the analogies we draw from available data from other wells, more fully explored prospects or producing fields will be applicable to our drilling prospects.

We may incur substantial losses and be subject to substantial liability claims as a result of our oil and natural gas operations.
 


We are not insured against all risks. Losses and liabilities arising from uninsured and underinsured events could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. Our oil and natural gas exploration and production activities are subject to all of the operating risks associated with drilling for and producing oil and natural gas, including the possibility of:

 
·
environmental hazards, such as uncontrollable flows of oil, natural gas, brine, well fluids, toxic gas or other pollution into the environment, including groundwater and shoreline contamination;
 
 
·
abnormally pressured formations;
 
 
·
mechanical difficulties, such as stuck oil field drilling and service tools and casing collapse;
 
 
·
fires and explosions;
 
 
·
personal injuries and death; and
 
 
·
natural disasters.

Any of these risks could adversely affect our ability to conduct operations or result in substantial losses to our company. We may elect not to obtain insurance if we believe that the cost of available insurance is excessive relative to the risks presented. In addition, pollution and environmental risks generally are not fully insurable. If a significant accident or other event occurs and is not fully covered by insurance, then it could adversely affect us.

We are subject to complex laws that can affect the cost, manner or feasibility of doing business.

Exploration, development, production and sale of oil and natural gas are subject to extensive federal, state, local and international regulation. We may be required to make large expenditures to comply with governmental regulations. Matters subject to regulation include:

 
·
discharge permits for drilling operations;
 
 
·
drilling bonds;
 
 
·
reports concerning operations;
 
 
·
the spacing of wells;
 
 
·
unitization and pooling of properties; and
 
 
·
taxation.

Under these laws, we could be liable for personal injuries, property damage and other damages. Failure to comply with these laws also may result in the suspension or termination of our operations and subject us to administrative, civil and criminal penalties. Moreover, these laws could change in ways that substantially increase our costs. Any such liabilities, penalties, suspensions, terminations or regulatory changes could materially adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Our operations may incur substantial liabilities to comply with the environmental laws and regulations.

Our oil and natural gas operations are subject to stringent federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the release or disposal of materials into the environment or otherwise relating to environmental protection. These laws and regulations may require the acquisition of a permit before drilling commences, restrict the types, quantities and concentration of substances that can be released into the environment in connection with drilling and production activities, limit or prohibit drilling activities on certain lands lying within wilderness, wetlands and other protected areas, and impose substantial liabilities for pollution resulting from our operations. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations may result in the assessment of administrative, civil and criminal penalties, incurrence of investigatory or remedial obligations or the imposition of injunctive relief. Changes in environmental laws and regulations occur frequently, and any changes that result in more stringent or costly waste handling, storage, transport, disposal or cleanup requirements could require us to make significant expenditures to maintain compliance, and may otherwise have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, competitive position or financial condition as well as the industry in general. Under these environmental laws and regulations, we could be held strictly liable for the removal or remediation of previously released materials or property contamination regardless of whether we were responsible for the release or if our operations were standard in the industry at the time they were performed.

Unless we replace our oil and natural gas reserves, our reserves and production will decline, which would adversely affect our cash flows and income.

Unless we conduct successful development, exploitation and exploration activities or acquire properties containing proved reserves, our proved reserves will decline as those reserves are produced. Producing oil and natural gas reservoirs generally are characterized by declining production rates that vary depending upon reservoir characteristics and other factors. Our future oil and natural gas reserves and production, and, therefore our cash flow and income, are highly dependent on our success in efficiently developing and exploiting our current reserves and economically finding or acquiring additional recoverable reserves. If we are unable to develop, exploit, find or acquire additional reserves to replace our current and future production, our cash flow and income will decline as production declines, until our existing properties would be incapable of sustaining commercial production.

The unavailability or high cost of drilling rigs, equipment, supplies, personnel and oil field services could adversely affect our ability to execute on a timely basis our exploration and development plans within our budget.
 


With the recent increase in the prices of oil and natural gas, we have encountered an increase in the cost of securing drilling rigs, equipment and supplies. Shortages or the high cost of drilling rigs, equipment, and supplies are expected to continue in the near-term. In addition, larger producers may be more likely to secure access to such equipment by virtue of offering drilling companies more lucrative terms. If we are unable to acquire access to such resources, or can obtain access only at higher prices, not only would this potentially delay our ability to convert our reserves into cash flow, but could also significantly increase the cost of producing those reserves, thereby negatively impacting anticipated net income.

If our access to markets is restricted, it could negatively impact our production, our income and ultimately our ability to retain our leases.

Market conditions or the unavailability of satisfactory oil and natural gas transportation arrangements may hinder our access to oil and natural gas markets or delay our production. The availability of a ready market for our oil and natural gas production depends on a number of factors, including the demand for and supply of oil and natural gas and the proximity of reserves to pipelines and terminal facilities. Our ability to market our production depends in substantial part on the availability and capacity of gathering systems, pipelines and processing facilities owned and operated by third parties. Our failure to obtain such services on acceptable terms could materially harm our business.

Currently, the majority of our production is sold to marketers and other purchasers that have access to nearby pipeline facilities. However, as we begin to further develop our properties, we may find production in areas with limited or no access to pipelines, thereby necessitating delivery by other means, such as trucking, or requiring compression facilities. Such restrictions on our ability to sell our oil or natural gas have several adverse affects, including higher transportation costs, fewer potential purchasers (thereby potentially resulting in a lower selling price) or, in the event we were unable to market and sustain production from a particular lease for an extended time, possibly causing us to lose a lease due to lack of production.

Competition in the oil and natural gas industry is intense, which may adversely affect our ability to compete.

We operate in a highly competitive environment for acquiring properties, marketing oil and natural gas and securing trained personnel. Many of our competitors possess and employ financial, technical and personnel resources substantially greater than ours, which can be particularly important in the areas in which we operate. Those companies may be able to pay more for productive oil and natural gas properties and exploratory prospects and to evaluate, bid for and purchase a greater number of properties and prospects than our financial or personnel resources permit. Our ability to acquire additional prospects and to find and develop reserves in the future will depend on our ability to evaluate and select suitable properties and to consummate transactions in a highly competitive environment. Also, there is substantial competition for capital available for investment in the oil and natural gas industry. We may not be able to compete successfully in the future in acquiring prospective reserves, developing reserves, marketing hydrocarbons, attracting and retaining quality personnel and raising additional capital.

Risks Relating to Our Common Stock

The market price of our stock may be affected by the issuance of additional shares of our common stock upon the conversion of shares of our preferred stock.

As of March 31, 2007 we had an aggregate of 108,178 shares of two classes of preferred stock outstanding, which are convertible, or will be convertible within the next twelve (12) months, into an aggregate of 263,560,000 restricted shares of our common stock.

Substantial sales of our common stock, including shares issued upon the conversion of our preferred shares, in the public market, or the perception that these sales could occur, may have a depressive effect on the market price of our common stock. Such sales or the perception of such sales could also impair our ability to raise capital or make acquisitions through the issuance of our common stock.

We have no plans to pay dividends on our common stock. You may not receive funds without selling your stock.

We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. We currently intend to retain future earnings, if any, to finance the expansion of our business. Our future dividend policy is within the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon various factors, including our business, financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements and investment opportunities.

Provisions under Nevada law could delay or prevent a change in control of our company, which could adversely affect the price of our common stock.

While we do not believe that we currently have any provisions in our organizational documents that could prevent or delay a change in control of our company (such as provisions calling for a staggered board of directors, or the issuance of stock with super-majority voting rights), the existence of some provisions under Nevada law could delay or prevent a change in control of our company, which could adversely affect the price of our common stock. Nevada law imposes some restrictions on mergers and other business combinations between us and any holder of 10% or more of our outstanding common stock.
 
Our Common Stock Is Subject To "Penny Stock" Restrictions Under Federal Securities Laws, Which Could Reduce The Liquidity Of Our Common Stock
 

 
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted regulations, which generally define penny stocks to be an equity security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exemptions. On April 5, 2007, the closing price for our common stock, as quoted on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board, was $0.06 per share and therefore, our common stock is designated a "Penny Stock." As a penny stock, our common stock may become subject to Rule 15g-9 under the Exchange Act or the Penny Stock Rules. These rules include, but are not limited to, Rules 3a5l-l, 15g-1, 15g-2, 15g-3, 15g-4, 15g-5, 15g-6 and 15g-7 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These rules impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers that sell such securities to persons other than established customers and "accredited investors" (generally, individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual incomes exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 together with their spouses). For transactions covered by Rule 15g-9, a broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and have received the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to sale. As a result, this rule may affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and may affect the ability of purchasers to sell any of our securities in the secondary market.

The rules may further affect the ability of owners of our shares to sell their securities in any market that may develop for them. There may be a limited market for penny stocks, due to the regulatory burdens on broker-dealers. The market among dealers may not be active. Investors in penny stock often are unable to sell stock back to the dealer that sold them the stock. The mark-ups or commissions charged by the broker-dealers may be greater than any profit a seller may make. Because of large dealer spreads, investors may be unable to sell the stock immediately back to the dealer at the same price the dealer sold the stock to the investor. In some cases, the stock may fall quickly in value. Investors may be unable to reap any profit from any sale of the stock, if they can sell it at all.

For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require delivery, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, of a disclosure schedule prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the penny stock market. Disclosure is also required to be made about sales commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities. Finally, monthly statements are required to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stock.

The penny stock restrictions will no longer apply to our common stock if we become listed on a national exchange. In any event, even if our common stock were exempt from the penny stock restrictions, we would remain subject to Section 15(b)(6) of the Exchange Act, which gives the Securities and Exchange Commission the authority to restrict any person from participating in a distribution of penny stock, if the Securities and Exchange Commission finds that such a restriction would be in the public interest.

Significant dilution may be caused by the conversion of our outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, and other shares of our preferred stock, to common stock. Additional dilution may be caused by any issuance of additional shares of our Series A Preferred Stock or other class of preferred stock.

On August 4, 2005, the Company issued 80,000 shares of the company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to Kamal Abdallah for an aggregate purchase price of $800,000. Each share of the Preferred Stock is convertible into 1,000 shares of UPDA common stock. All of the shares of Mr. Abdallah's Preferred Stock are currently convertible, or are convertible within the next sixty (60) days, into 80,000,000 shares of UPDA common stock. Mr. Abdallah paid for the shares of Preferred Stock in cash.

On August 4, 2005, the Company issued 20,000 shares of the company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to Christopher McCauley for an aggregate purchase price of $200,000. Each share of the Preferred Stock is convertible into 1,000 shares of UPDA common stock. All of the shares of Mr. McCauley’s Preferred Stock are currently convertible, or are convertible within the next sixty (60) days, into 20,000,000 shares of UPDA common stock. Mr. McCauley paid for the shares of Preferred Stock in cash.

In addition, as of March 20, 2007, we had 235,590 shares of our Procore Preferred Stock (as defined below) and 8,178 shares of our Class B Preferred Stock issued and outstanding. In the aggregate, these outstanding shares of Procore Preferred Stock and Class B Preferred Stock will be convertible within the next twelve (12) months into 46,166,048 shares of our common stock. The issuance of such a substantial number of shares of our common stock, or the perception that such issuances will occur, may have a depressive effect on the market price of our common stock. Furthermore, such share conversions or the perception that such share conversions will occur, could also impair our ability to raise capital or make acquisitions through the issuance of our common stock. See the “Item 5 - Market for Registrant’s Common Stock and Related Stockholder Matters” section of this Annual Report for a more detailed description of our capitalization.

The ownership of our voting capital stock is closely held, making a small group of shareholders the major shareholders in our company.
 
Approximately 17% of the outstanding voting shares of our capital stock is currently held by two (2) insiders. See the “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters” section of this Annual Report. Consequently, this small number of shareholders will be major shareholders in affecting the business decisions of our company, including, but not limited to, the election of the members of our Board of Directors.
 

 
ITEM 2 - DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
 
Oil and Gas Properties

General Background

Since the implementation of our business plan in July 2005, we have begun to build an asset base and achieve growth primarily through property acquisitions, but with some exploitation activities. From the implementation of our business plan through December 31, 2006, our proved reserves are 34,045 Boe. All reserves are from properties located in Texas. We spent approximately $3.5 million on capital projects during 2006. We expect to further develop these properties through additional workovers, recompletions and development drilling. Although our focus will be on development of our existing properties and businesses, we also intend to continue seeking acquisition opportunities that compliment our current portfolio. We intend to fund our development and acquisition activities through the use of cash flow from operations, cash on hand, and the proceeds of future financing transactions. We believe that our acquisition experience, together with our operating experience and efficient cost structure, provides us with the potential to continue our growth.

We have a portfolio of oil and natural gas reserves, with approximately 46% of our proved reserves consisting of oil and approximately 54% consisting of natural gas. Approximately 100% of our proved reserves are classified as proved developed producing, or “PDP.” None of our proved reserves are classified as proved developed non-producing, or “PDNP,” and approximately none are classified as proved undeveloped, or “PUD.”

The following table summarizes our total net proved producing reserves as of December 31, 2006.

Management believes it reserves are substantially higher than what is reflected in the third party reserve report. The third party reserve reports were impacted by the transition of operation from TransPecos (Orr) to UPDA Operators and by a active workover program.. Third Party Engineers require approximately 120 days of consistent production which UPDA was unable to achieve on many of its properties.
 

We conduct our oil and natural gas activities entirely in the United States. Our average production costs, per Boe was $59.07 in 2006. UPDA costs were negatively impacted by delays in being named operator and the resulting delays in workovers as a result of ongoing litigation. Net costs capitalized during the year ended December 31, 2006, related to our oil and natural gas producing activities are shown below.

Our estimates of proved reserves and related valuations were based on reports prepared by third party consultants in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 69, “Disclosures About Oil and Gas Producing Activities.” The estimates of proved reserves are inherently imprecise and are continually subject to revision based on production history, results of additional exploration and development, price changes and other factors.

Our oil and natural gas reserves are attributable solely to properties within the United States.

Other Properties and Commitments
 

On July 31, 2006, UPDA-O entered into a lease agreement with Malone & Cruz Lease Partnership for office space in Jacksboro, Texas. The lease expires July 31, 2009, and the minimum monthly rent is $500.
 


On August 1, 2006 the Company entered into a Lease agreement with Livable Machines, LLC for office space in Cleveland, Ohio. The lease expires August 1, 2009 and provides an option to renew for one additional term of three years. Annual rent under the lease is $12,000.

On August 15, 2006 the Company entered into a lease agreement with Crescent Real Estate Funding XII, L.P for office space in Dallas, Texas. The lease is for a period of 64 months commencing on September 1, 2006 with rent of $3,659 per month, and is subject to annual escalations.

On August 22, 2006 US Petroleum Depot Inc entered into a rental lease agreement with Brownsville Navigation District of Cameron County, Texas, for a term of five years payable semi-annually in installments of $9,801. The leased property is for the sole purpose of shipping and receiving oil products.

On September 27, 2006 the Company entered into a lease agreement with R.M Crowe Property Management, LP for office space in Houston, Texas. The lease has a term of sixty months, with rent of $2,800 per month, and is subject to annual escalations.

ITEM 3 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS 
 
In June of 2006 Texas Energy entered into an agreement for the purchase of a pipeline and certain other oil and gas assets for $1.7 million. As part of the transaction Texas Energy remitted a deposited of $100,000. Subsequently as title to those assets was under review, it was determined that clear title could not be established and the Sellers were notified orally of Texas Energy’s intention to cancel the transaction. Although this oral notification was provided prior to the deadline set forth in the contract for the return of the deposit, written notification was not provided by Texas Energy’s attorney until after that deadline had passed. Upon notification from the Seller’s counsel and that he intended to release the escrow to his client, Texas Energy immediately filed suit and obtained an injunction against the release of the funds.
 
Texas Energy is currently in negotiations for the purchase of oil and gas leases located in Palo Pinto, Texas for $2.8 million. The seller has agreed to apply the $100,000 paid in the above transaction to the purchase price of this transaction in settlement of the litigation.
On November 17, 2005 the Company, USPX, and Triple Crown Consulting ("TCC"), a private corporation, entered into a joint venture agreement (the "Agreement"). Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Company, USPX and TCC formed Canyon Creek as the joint venture entity to carry out the proposed operations of the joint venture. At the present time, the Company owns 60% of the capital stock of Canyon Creek, USPX owns 30% of the capital stock of Canyon Creek, TCC owns 5% of the capital stock of Canyon Creek, and Anjos Partners, LLC owns 5% of the capital stock of Canyon Creek.

Under the terms of the Agreement, and as consideration for their respective shares of the capital stock of Canyon Creek, the Company invested $1,200,000 to finance the operations of the joint venture, USPX assigned certain oil and gas leases to the joint venture and TCC agreed to provide ongoing management consulting services to the joint venture. The leases assigned to the joint venture by USPX cover approximately two thousand acres and contain approximately 60 oil and gas wells. The joint venture also acquired additional acreage and wells and intended to pursue further acquisitions of currently producing oil and gas properties, low risk drilling prospects and existing wells in need of technology to improve profitability. In addition, USPX principal was installed as President of Canyon Creek.

The Company paid approximately an additional $2 million in workover costs that were incurred to place the oil and gas wells into working order.

USPX was responsible for the day-to-day operations of Canyon Creek, but the Company has control over the appointment of the financial officer of Canyon Creek. USPX was to be paid a managerial fee equal to 7.5% of the net operating revenue of Canyon Creek.

As a result of a review of the activities and expenditures of Canyon Creek that were undertaken and/or approved by USPX, the Company requested an explanation from USPX for apparent improprieties and mismanagement. As a result of that request, Don Orr submitted his resignation as President and board member of Canyon Creek and USPX was dismissed as manager of the properties.

On April 12, 2006 USPX filed suit against the Company, alleging that the Company had breached the above joint venture agreement. Specifically, USPX alleged that the Company committed wrongful acts, including the misappropriation of opportunities, misappropriation of business and proprietary information, fraud, and conspiracy to intentionally cause damage to USPX. In addition USPX is alleging that it has failed to receive any or all of the consideration that it was promised by the Company or Canyon Creek. USPX is also alleging that the Company and Canyon Creek fraudulently induced USPX and its principal, Donald Orr, into causing the transfer and assignment of certain oil and gas interests held by them.

The Company is contending that Donald Orr had received and/or incurred expenses that were not related to Canyon Creek, based upon a preliminary internal investigation.  Upon being confronted with these allegations, Mr. Orr resigned his position with Canyon Creek. The Company is in the process of filing a counter claim that would induce USPX to relinquish its 30% equity interest in Canyon Creek and repay the cash it had received and spent inappropriately.
 
On June 20, 2006 the Company filed a response denying the allegations. The matter is currently pending. As of the consolidated balance sheet date, the Company has not accrued any costs related to this matter, because the Company believes the suit is without merit. In addition, “Oil and Gas Property” assets associated with the leases originally assigned by Donald Orr, including workovers applicable to those leases, totaled $1,970,000 on December 31, 2006. Revenues already earned from October 2005 to December 2006 totaled $382,000.

As of December 31, 2006, Miller Electric, a vendor, filed suit against the Company for $51,000 for unpaid invoices. The Company is currently negotiating a settlement for the lawsuit with Miller Electric.

Record Holders

As of March 31, 2007, there were approximately 400 holders of record of our common stock.

Dividend Policy

Our Board of Directors determines any payment of dividends to our common stockholders. We have not paid any dividends on our common stock during the last two years, and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. We currently intend to retain future earnings, if any, to finance the expansion of our business. Our future dividend policy is within the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon various factors, including our results of operations, financial condition, capital requirements and investment opportunities.

Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

Our shares are currently covered by Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rules 15g-1 through 15g-6 promulgated thereunder, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell our securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors.

Rule 15g-2 declares unlawful any broker-dealer transactions in penny stocks unless the broker-dealer has first provided to the customer a standardized disclosure document.

Rule 15g-3 provides that it is unlawful for a broker-dealer to engage in a penny stock transaction unless the broker-dealer first discloses and subsequently confirms to the customer the current quotation prices or similar market information concerning the penny stock in question.

Rule 15g-4 prohibits broker-dealers from completing penny stock transactions for a customer unless the broker-dealer first discloses to the customer the amount of compensation or other remuneration received as a result of the penny stock transaction.

Rule 15g-5 requires that a broker dealer executing a penny stock transaction, other than one exempt under Rule 15g-1, disclose to its customer, at the time of or prior to the transaction, information about the sales persons compensation.

Our common stock may remain subject to the foregoing rules for the foreseeable future. The application of the penny stock rules may affect our stockholder’s ability to sell their shares because some broker/dealers may not be willing to make a market in our common stock because of the burdens imposed upon them by the penny stock rules.

ITEM 6 - MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our accompanying financial statements and the notes to those financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report. The following discussion includes forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed below and elsewhere in this Annual Report.
 

 
Overview

We are engaged in oil and natural gas acquisition and exploitation activities in the state of Texas. Since the adoption of our business plan in July 2005, we have emphasized the acquisition of properties that provided current production and significant upside potential through further development. We have acquired our reserves by investing approximately $2.3 million in the acquisition of leases of oil and gas producing properties, and enhancements thereto, since July 2005.

We also intend to continue seeking acquisition opportunities that compliment our current portfolio. We intend to fund our development activity through use of cash flow from operations and cash on hand. Proceeds from future equity transactions may also be available for development projects or future acquisitions.

Our business plan has involved increasing our base of reserves until we have acquired a sufficient core to enable us to utilize cash from existing production to fund further workover and production activities. We plan to continue our strategy of acquiring producing properties with additional development and exploitation potential.

Our revenue, profitability and future growth rate depend substantially on factors beyond our control, such as economic, political and regulatory developments and competition from other sources of energy. Oil and natural gas prices historically have been volatile and may fluctuate widely in the future. Sustained periods of low prices for oil or natural gas could materially and adversely affect our financial position, our results of operations, the quantities of oil and natural gas reserves that we can economically produce and our access to capital.

In a worst case scenario, future workover operations could be largely unsuccessful, oil and gas prices could sharply decline and/or other factors beyond our control could cause us to greatly modify or substantially curtail our development plans, which could negatively impact our earnings, cash flow and most likely the trading price of our securities.
 
Results of Operations
 
 
Natural gas sales. For the year ended December 31, 2006, natural gas sales revenue was $114,683 compared to $28,965 for the same period during 2005. The revenues were the result of production in the Canyon Creek, Catlin and Texas Energy subsidiaries.
 
Oil sales. For the year ended December 31, 2006, oil sales revenue was $466,596 compared to none for the same period during 2005. The revenues were the result of our producing wells in the Canyon Creek, Catlin and Texas Energy subsidiaries.
 
Lease operating expenses. Our lease operating expenses were $739,740 for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared with $3,794 for the year ended December 31, 2005.
 
Depletion. Our depletion expense was $77,787 for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to $13,311 for the year ended December 31, 2005 because of our increased production.
 
Impairment of oil and gas properties. Impairment of oil and gas properties increased to $875,698 for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to none for the same period in 2005. The impairment was for Canyon Creek and it included a full cost pool impairment of approximately $15,000 for the year ended December 31,2006. In addition, Canyon Creek wrote 60% of its value currently in undeveloped leasehold attributable to the Inez Well or approximately $860,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Consulting Fees and Services. Consulting fees and services decreased by $5,653,676 to $2,538,668 for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to same period in 2005. The decline was primarily due to the company hiring more full time employees and also issuing less stock for consulting services.

Payroll and related benefits. Payroll and related benefits increased to $561,634 for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to none for the same period in 2005. The increase was primarily related to increases in compensation expense associated with an increase in personnel required to administer our growth and entry into the energy business.

General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses increased by $625,534 to $980,901 for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to the same period in 2005. The increase was primarily related to rent expense of $139,958, travel and entertainment expenses of $507,034, and legal and accounting expenses of $135,751.
 
Depreciation. Our depreciation expense was $55,005 for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to $104 for the year ended December 31, 2005. The increase was a result of the mobile office and our recent purchases of office equipment.
 


Other income (expense). Other income and expense includes a loss on termination of the Sundial joint venture of $658,007 and a loss on sale of oil lease to American Flourite for $51,123 for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to none and none for the year ended December 31, 2005. The losses were offset by a net gain on sale of lease to Avalon Oil and Gas of $28,000 and a gain on write-off of loans and other liabilities no longer due and payable of $55,086 for the year ended December 31, 2006 versus none and $6,801, respectively for the same period in 2005.

Income tax expense. Our effective tax rate was 25% during 2006 and 2005. As we have significant net operating loss carryforwards, income tax expense is comprised of minimum state filing fees only.
 
Net loss after minority interest. Net loss after minority interest decreased by $3,584,229 for the year ended December 31, 2006 to $5,450,215 when compared to the same period in 2005. The reasons for this decrease include the large decrease in stock issued for services, consulting fees and services due to the new management team, our exit from the real estate business, and our entry into the energy business.
 
Net loss available to common shareholders. Net loss available to common shareholders decreased to $29,788,268 for the year ended December 31, 2006 as compared to $172,864,973 for the same period last year. The decrease was primarily related a decrease in the number of conversions of our unlettered preferred convertible stock and beneficial conversion related to our Series A preferred stock.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Requirements

The Company has incurred recurring operating losses since its inception, and as of December 31, 2006 had an accumulated deficit of approximately $219,496,000 and had insufficient capital to fund all of its obligations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect of the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

The Company's continuation as a going concern is dependant upon receiving additional financing. The Company anticipates that during its 2007 fiscal year it will need to raise approximately $3.0 million of debt or equity financing to continue to execute the requirements of its business plan. We entered into an oral agreement to sell a portion of the stock of Catlin, Canyon Creek and Texas Energy Pipeline for the total sum of $1,000,000. As of December 31, 2006 we received the full sum of $1,000,000 of cash from the buyer and we closed on this transaction on March 5, 2007. In Q1 ended March 31, 2007, we received $375,000 from Devida Capital for 375 Series B Preferred shares that we issued them. Also, in Q1 ended March 31, 2007, we received $1,590,000 from Five Star Partners for 1,590 Series B Preferred shares that we issued them.

On April 6, 2007 the Company executed a senior secured promissory note with Sheridan Asset Management, LLC (“Sheridan”) for the principal amount of $3,635,000. The note matures on April 6, 2008. The note amount of $3,635,000 includes a principal amount of $2,726,250 and $908,750 of original issue discount based upon a 29.12% yield to maturity. Any overdue accrued and unpaid principal and interest shall accrue a late fee of 18%. The proceeds of the note will be used for acquisitions and working capital.
 
As part of the transaction Sheridan received a warrant to purchase 22,343,821 shares of the Company’s common stock for an exercise price of $.05483. The warrant expires on April 6, 2012. The Company will account for the warrant as a discount to the note based on the fair market value of the warrant and accrete the discount over one year.
 
The note is guaranteed by the Company’s two operating subsidiaries Canyon Creek and Catlin. In addition, Kamal Abdallah, Chairman and CEO and Christopher McCauley, Vice President and General Council have provided the lender with personal guarantees.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion of financial condition and results of operations is based upon the information reported in our financial statements. The preparation of these statements requires us to make assumptions and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements. We base our assumptions and estimates on historical experience and other sources that we believe to be reasonable at the time. Actual results may vary from our estimates due to changes in circumstances, weather, politics, global economics, mechanical problems, general business conditions and other factors. Our significant accounting policies are detailed in Note 1 to our financial statements included in this Annual Report. We have outlined below certain of these policies as being of particular importance to the portrayal of our financial position and results of operations and which require the application of significant judgment by our management.

Revenue Recognition. We predominantly derive our revenue from the sale of produced crude oil and natural gas. Revenue is recorded in the month the product is delivered to the purchaser. We receive payment from one to three months after delivery. At the end of each month, we estimate the amount of production delivered to purchasers and the price we will receive. Variances between our estimated revenue and actual payment are recorded in the month the payment is received; however, differences have been insignificant.

Full Cost Method of Accounting. We account for our oil and natural gas operations using the full cost method of accounting. Under this method, all costs associated with property acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas reserves are capitalized. Costs capitalized include acquisition costs, geological and geophysical expenditures, lease rentals on undeveloped properties and cost of drilling and equipping productive and non-productive wells. Drilling costs include directly related overhead costs. All of our properties are located within the continental United States.

Oil and Natural Gas Reserve Quantities. Reserve quantities and the related estimates of future net cash flows affect our periodic calculations of depletion and impairment of our oil and natural gas properties. Proved oil and natural gas reserves are 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 periods from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions. Reserve quantities and future cash flows included in this Annual Report are prepared in accordance with guidelines established by the SEC and FASB. The accuracy of our reserve estimates is a function of:
 


· 
the quality and quantity of available date;
 
     
· 
the interpretation of that data;
 
     
· 
the accuracy of various mandated economic assumptions; and
 
     
· 
the judgments of the persons preparing the estimates.
 
 
Our proved reserve information included in this Annual Report is based on reports by third party consultants. Because these estimates depend on many assumptions, all of which may differ substantially from actual results, reserve estimates may be different from the quantities of oil and natural gas that are ultimately recovered. We continually make revisions to reserve estimates throughout the year as additional properties are acquired. We make changes to depletion rates and impairment calculations in the same period that changes to the reserve estimates are made.

All capitalized costs of oil and gas properties, including estimated future costs to develop proved reserves and estimated future costs of site restoration, are amortized on the unit-of-production method using estimates of proved reserves as determined by independent engineers. Investments in unproved properties and major development projects are not amortized until proved reserves associated with the projects can be determined.

The capitalized cost included in the full cost pool is subject to a “ceiling test”, which limits such cost to the estimated present value, using a ten percent discount rate, of the future net revenue from proved reserves, based on current economic and operating conditions. The ceiling test calculation is dependent on the estimates used in the calculation of our proved reserves. As of December 31, 2005 and 2006, a portion of our oil and gas property was unproved and was excluded from amortization.
 

Effects of Inflation and Pricing

The oil and natural gas industry is very cyclical and the demand for goods and services of oil field companies, suppliers and others associated with the industry puts extreme pressure on the economic stability and pricing structure within the industry. Typically, as prices for oil and natural gas increase, so do all associated costs, and this proved to be the case in 2005 as oil and gas prices rose significantly. Costs for oilfield services and materials increased during 2005 due to higher demand as a result of the higher oil and gas prices. Material changes in prices impact the current revenue stream, estimates of future reserves, borrowing base calculations of bank loans and value of properties in purchase and sale transactions. Material changes in prices can impact the value of oil and natural gas companies and their ability to raise capital, borrow money and retain personnel. We anticipate the increased business costs will continue while the commodity prices for oil and natural gas, and the demand for services related to production and exploration, both remain high (from an historical context) in the near term.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk
 
Commodity Price Risk

We have not historically entered into derivative contracts to manage our exposure to oil and natural gas price volatility. Normal hedging arrangements have the effect of locking in for specified periods the prices we would receive for the volumes and commodity to which the hedge relates. Consequently, while hedges are designed to decrease exposure to price decreases, they also have the effect of limiting the benefit of price increases.

ITEM 8 - CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS AND ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
 
 
ITEM 8A - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and General Counsel, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
 
Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB (December 31, 2006), our Chief Executive Officer and General Counsel have each concluded that, subject to the limitations noted above, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
 
(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) identified in connection with the evaluation described in Item 8(a) above that occurred during the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB and that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

General

Our executive officers are elected by, and serve at the pleasure of, our board of directors. Our directors serve terms of one year each, with the current directors serving until the next annual meeting of stockholders, and in each case until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified.

None of our directors currently serves as a director of any other company that is required to file periodic reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

None of our directors, executive officers, promoters or control persons has, within the last five years: (i) had a bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time; (ii) been convicted in a criminal proceeding or is currently subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors); (iii) been subject to any order, judgment or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities; (iv) been found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended or vacated. There are no family relationships among any of our directors and executive officers.
 

 
Board of Directors and Committees
 
Our Board of Directors currently consists of five positions, of which three are filled and two are vacant. Historically, our Board of Directors has generally acted as a whole on most corporate governance matters. We plan to form audit, nominating and corporate governance and compensation committees that will meet the criteria for independence under, and other applicable requirements of, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the current rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market and the rules and regulations adopted by the SEC. We plan to appoint to these committees individuals who are determined by our Board of Directors to be “independent” within the meaning of these laws and requirements. We intend to comply with such committee requirements as they become applicable to us. Our Board of Directors will adopt charters for these three committees. Once adopted, we intend to make the text of these charters available on our website at www.universalpropertydevelopment.com.
 
Election of Directors and Officers
 
Holders of our common stock are entitled to one (1) vote for each share held on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders, including the election of directors. Holders of our Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to one (1) vote for each share of common stock into which their preferred shares are convertible on all matters submitted to a vote of the common stockholders, including the election of directors. Cumulative voting with respect to the election of Directors is not permitted by our Certificate of Incorporation. Our Board of Directors is elected at the annual meeting of the stockholders or at a special meeting called for that purpose. Each director holds office until the next annual meeting of the stockholders and until the director’s successor is elected and qualified. If a vacancy occurs on the Board of Directors, including a vacancy resulting from an increase in the number of directors, the vacancy may be filled by the Board of Directors or by the stockholders at the next annual stockholders’ meeting or at a special meeting of the stockholders called for that purpose.
 
Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

Our Board of Directors has adopted a Code of Ethics applicable to our Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers, and a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics applicable to all of our employees, officers and directors. Our Code of Ethics and Code of Business Conduct will be available on our website. We intend to satisfy the disclosure requirement under Item 10 of Form 8-K relating to amendments or waivers from any provision of our Code of Ethics and our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics applicable to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller by either filing a Form 8-K with the SEC or posting this information on our website within five business days following the date of amendment or waiver. Upon request, we will provide to any person, without charge, a copy of our Code of Ethics and Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. Requests may be directed to Universal Property Development & Acquisition Corporation, 14255 U.S. Highway 1, Suite 209, Juno Beach, Florida 33408, attention Christopher J. McCauley, Esq., or by calling (561) 630-2977.

Corporate Governance Guidelines

Our Board of Directors intends to adopt Corporate Governance Guidelines, which will provide the framework for our company’s governance. These guidelines our Board of Directors will annually evaluate its effectiveness and the effectiveness of management, define director independence and establish a minimum number of meetings per year for the board of directors and its committees. Once adopted, the text of our Corporate Governance Guidelines will be made available on our website. Upon request, we will provide to any person, without charge, a copy of our Corporate Governance Guidelines. Requests may be directed to Universal Property Development & Acquisition Corporation, 14255 U.S. Highway 1, Suite 209, Juno Beach, Florida 33408, attention Christopher J. McCauley, Esq., or by calling (561) 630-2977.

Director Compensation


Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation


Financial Experts

At the present time no member of our Board of Directors meets the SEC definition of “Financial Expert”, which basically is limited to those who have prepared or audited comparable public company financial statements. While it might be possible to recruit a person who qualifies, the Board has determined that in order to fulfill all functions of our Board, each member of our Board should meet the criteria that have been established by our Board for board membership, and it is not in the best interests of our company to nominate someone who does not have all the experience, attributes and qualifications we seek.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

 

 
To our knowledge, and based solely upon a review of the copies of such reports furnished to us and written representations that no other reports were required during the year ended December 31, 2006, all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to our officers, directors and 10% or greater beneficial owners were complied with.

ITEM 10 - EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The following Summary Compensation Table sets forth information concerning the annual and long-term compensation earned by our Chief Executive Officer and each of the other most highly compensated executive officers (collectively the “named executive officers”) for the three most recent fiscal years.

There are no current plans to change any officers’ salary from their level at December 31, 2006.

Employee Benefit Plans

Equity Incentive Plan. In November 2004, our board of directors adopted an incentive stock option plan that was subsequently approved by our shareholders. The stock option plan is intended to promote continuity of management and to provide increased incentive and personal interest in our welfare by those employees and consultants who are primarily responsible for shaping and carrying out our long-range plans and securing our continued growth and financial success. In addition, by encouraging stock ownership by directors who are not our employees, the stock option plan is intended to attract and retain qualified directors.
 

 
The plan is administered by our board of directors, and they have the authority to select the employees, consultants and non-employee directors who participate in the plan, to determine the awards to be granted to participants, to set the terms and conditions of such awards and to establish, amend or waive rules for the administration of the plan.

The plan provides that up to a total of 65,000,000 shares of common stock, subject to adjustment to reflect stock dividends and other capital changes, are available for granting of awards under the stock option plan. No options to acquire shares are currently outstanding and no options to acquire shares were granted under the plan in 2006.

During 2006, our Board of Directors approved the issuance of an aggregate of 13,784,850 shares of our common stock to employees, directors, consultants and others under the terms of the stock option plan.

Mr. Abdallah serves as our President and Chief Executive Officer and is a member of our board of directors. Mr. Abdallah receives a base salary of $150,000 per year and is entitled to a discretionary bonus of up to $600,000 per year.

Indemnification

Under our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, we may indemnify an officer or director who is made a party to any proceeding, including a lawsuit, because of his position, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in our best interest. We may advance expenses incurred in defending a proceeding. To the extent that the officer or director is successful on the merits in a proceeding as to which he is to be indemnified, we must indemnify him against all expenses incurred, including attorney's fees. With respect to a derivative action, indemnity may be made only for expenses actually and reasonably incurred in defending the proceeding, and if the officer or director is judged liable, only by a court order. The indemnification is intended to be to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Nevada. Regarding indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act, which may be permitted to directors or officers under Nevada law, we are informed that, in the opinion of the Commission, indemnification is against public policy, as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

ITEM 11 - SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

The following table sets forth, as of March 20, 2007, information regarding the beneficial ownership of our common stock: (i) by each of our directors and executive officers; (ii) by all directors and executive officers as a group; or (iii) by all persons known to us to own 5% or more of our outstanding shares of common stock. The mailing address for each of the persons indicated is our corporate headquarters.

Beneficial ownership is determined under the rules of the SEC. In general, these rules attribute beneficial ownership of securities to persons who possess sole or shared voting power and/or investment power with respect to those securities and includes, among other things, securities that an individual has the right to acquire within 60 days. Unless otherwise indicated, the stockholders identified in the following table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares shown as beneficially owned by them.

(1) As used in this table, a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship or otherwise has or shares (a) the power to vote, or direct the voting of, such security or (b) investment power which includes the power to dispose, or to direct the disposition of, such security. In addition, a person is deemed to be the beneficial owner of a security if that person has the right to acquire beneficial ownership of such security within 60 days. Because our common stock has one (1) vote per share on all matters and holders of our Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to one (1) vote for each share of common stock into which their preferred shares are convertible on all matters submitted to a vote of the common stockholders, including the election of directors, the percentage ownership is presented on the basis of the percentage of the sum of the number of shares of common stock outstanding and the number of shares of common stock into which the outstanding vested shares of Series A Preferred Stock are currently convertible or will be convertible within the next 60 days.
(2)  Mr. Abdallah owns 2,060,000 shares of our common stock. In addition, Mr. Abdallah owns 80,000 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock which have vested and are currently convertible into 80,000,000 shares of our common stock. The shares of Series A Preferred Stock owned by Mr. Abdallah are entitled to vote on an as converted basis in all matters for which the holders of shares of our common stock are entitled to vote, including, but not limited to, the election of our directors.
(3)  Mr. McCauley owns 650,000 shares of our common stock. In addition, Mr. McCauley owns 20,000 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock which have vested and are currently convertible into 20,000,000 shares of our common stock. The shares of Series A Preferred Stock owned by Mr. McCauley are entitled to vote on an as converted basis in all matters for which the holders of shares of our common stock are entitled to vote, including, but not limited to, the election of our directors.
(4)   This percentage ownership of our common stock by our officers and directors is based upon 597,039,108 shares of our common stock being outstanding.  The 597,039,108 common share number is computed by adding the 100,000,000 shares of our common stock that would be issued as a result of the conversion of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by Mr. Kamal and Mr. McCauley, which have vested and are currently convertible, to the 497,039,108 shares of our common stock that was outstanding as of March 20, 2007.

The percentages in the above table are computed based upon a total of 597,039,108 shares or common stock being outstanding on March 20, 2007.

UNIVERSAL PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT ACQUISITION CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
Notes to Consolidated financial Statements December 31, 2006 and 2005
 
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION - GOING CONCERN
 
The Company has incurred recurring operating losses since its inception and, as of December 31, 2006, had an accumulated deficit of approximately $219,496,000. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect of the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
 
The Company's continuation as a going concern is dependent upon receiving additional financing. The Company anticipates that during its 2007 fiscal year it will need to raise substantial funds to support its working capital needs and to continue to execute the requirements of its business plan. Management of the Company is currently in a process of trying to secure additional capital. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in this capital raise or with other attempts to raise sufficient capital.
 
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Organization

Universal Property Development and Acquisition Corporation (“UPDA” or “the Company”) was incorporated in the State of California in 1982 under the name Tahoe Lake Concession. In August 1983 the name was changed to BAOA, Inc., in November 2000 the name was changed to Call Solutions, Inc., and in November 2003 the name was changed to Procore Group, Inc. In June 2005, our Board of Directors authorized and approved the upstream merger of our wholly owned subsidiary, Universal Property Development and Acquisition Corporation, which had no operations, with and into UPDA (the "Upstream Merger"). The Upstream Merger became effective on June 17, 2005 and our common stock trades on the OTC Bulletin Board under the trading symbol “UPDA.OB”.

The Company is engaged in the oil and natural gas acquisition, production, development, storage, distribution and blending industry. UPDA currently has operations in the State of Texas.
 
In June 2005, the Company increased the number of its authorized shares of common stock from 750,000,000 to 2,000,000,000 and effectuated a 100:1 reverse split of the Company's common stock. The company is authorized to issue an aggregate of 2,500,000,000 shares, of which 2,000,000,000 are designated as common shares and 500,000,000 shares are designated as preferred stock.
 
Principles of Consolidation
 
The consolidated financial statements include the financial position and operating activities of UPDA and its 100% owned subsidiaries UPDA-Operators (“UPDA-OI” or “UPDA-O”), Catlin Oil & Gas (“Catlin”), Texas Energy, Inc. (“TEI” or “Texas Energy”), US Petroleum Depot Inc. (“USPD”), UPDA Texas Trading, Inc. (“Texas Trading”), and Texas Energy Pipeline & Gathering Systems (“TEPG”), and 60% owned subsidiary, Canyon Creek Oil and Gas, Inc. (“Canyon Creek” or "Canyon"), its 70% owned subsidiary, West Oil & Gas, Inc. ("WOG" or “West Oil”), and its 80% owned subsidiary Ambient Wells Services, Inc. (“Ambient”). The Company has an additional joint venture, Winrock Energy Inc. (“Winrock”), which was inactive as of December 31, 2006. All inter-company balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
Cash and cash equivalents
 
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates market value.
 
Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
 
Segment information
 
The Company operates in one segment.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
 
Fair value of financial instruments
 
For financial statement instruments including cash, accounts receivable, and accounts and accrued expenses payable, the carrying amounts approximated fair value because of their short maturity.
 
Depreciation
 
Fixed assets are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives ranging from three to thirty years.
 
Basic and Diluted Loss per Share
 
Basic and diluted net loss per share information for all periods is presented under the requirements of SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share. Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average common shares outstanding. The dilutive effect of preferred stock, warrants, and options convertible into an aggregate of approximately 394,826,000 and 413,745,000 of common shares as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, are not included because the inclusion of such would be anti-dilutive for all periods presented.
 
Major Customers
 
For the year-ended December 31, 2006, one purchaser, Sunoco Partners Marketing & Terminals LP, was responsible for generating approximately 77% of our total oil sales, and one purchaser , Enbridge G & P (North Texas) LP., was responsible for generating approximately 71% of our natural gas sales.
 
Asset Retirement Obligations
 
The Company follows SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations. In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 143, the Company records asset retirement costs and liabilities at the time of property acquisition as a reduction in earnings.
 
Oil and Gas Properties
 
The Company uses the full cost method of accounting for oil and gas properties. Under this method, all costs associated with acquisition and development of oil and gas properties are capitalized. The Company currently does not engage in exploration activities. Costs capitalized include acquisition costs, geological and geophysical expenditures, brokers and finders fees, lease rentals on undeveloped properties and costs of drilling and equipping productive and non-productive wells. Drilling costs include directly related overhead costs. Capitalized costs are categorized either as being subject to amortization or not subject to amortization.

Reserve quantities and the related estimates of future net cash flows affect our periodic calculations of depletion and impairment of our oil and natural gas properties. Proved oil and natural gas reserves are 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 periods from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions. Reserve quantities and future cash flows included in this Annual Report are prepared in accordance with guidelines established by the SEC and FASB. The accuracy of our reserve estimates is a function of:

· 
the quality and quantity of available date;
 
· 
the interpretation of that data;
 
· 
the accuracy of various mandated economic assumptions; and
 
· 
the judgments of the persons preparing the estimates.
 

Our proved reserve information included in this Annual Report is based on reports by third party consultants. Because these estimates depend on many assumptions, all of which may differ substantially from actual results, reserve estimates may be different from the quantities of oil and natural gas that are ultimately recovered. We continually make revisions to reserve estimates throughout the year as additional properties are acquired. We make changes to depletion rates and impairment calculations in the same period that changes to the reserve estimates are made.
 
All capitalized costs of oil and gas properties, including the estimated future costs to develop proved reserves and estimated future costs to plug and abandon wells and costs of site restoration, are amortized on the unit-of-production method using estimates of proved reserves as determined by independent engineers. Investments in unproved properties and major development projects are not amortized until proved reserves associated with the projects can be determined or until impairment occurs. If the results of an assessment indicate that the properties are impaired, the amount of the impairment is added to the capitalized costs to be amortized. Depletion expense for the year ended December 31, 2006, was $77,787 based on depletion at the rate of $7.64 per barrel-of-oil-equivalent.
 
The capitalized cost included in the full cost pool is subject to a “ceiling test”, which limits such cost to the estimated present value, using a ten percent discount rate, of the future net revenue from proved reserves, based on current economic and operating conditions. The ceiling test calculation is dependent on the estimates used in the calculation of our proved reserves. As of December 31, 2005 and 2006, a portion of our oil and gas property was unproved and was excluded from amortization.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
The Company recognizes net operating revenues from oil and natural gas at the time of delivery that is once the oil and gas purchasers have taken delivery.

EITF 98-5

EITF 98-5 applies to convertible securities with beneficial conversion features that must be settled in stock and to those that give the issuer a choice in setting the obligation in either stock or cash. EITF 98-5 requires that the beneficial conversion feature should be valued at the commitment date as the difference between the conversion price and the fair market value of the common stock into which the security is convertible, multiplied by the number of shares into which the security is convertible. EITF 98-5 further limits this amount to the proceeds allocated to the convertible instrument.
 
Income taxes
 
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon the differences between financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities. Deferred taxes are also recognized for operating losses that are available to offset future taxable income.
 
Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS 154, "Accounting Changes and Error Corrections," that applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle. This Statement requires retrospective application to prior periods' financial statements of changes in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. When it is impracticable to determine the period-specific effects of an accounting change on one or more individual prior periods presented, this Statement requires that the new accounting principle be applied to the balances of assets and liabilities as of the beginning of the earliest period for which retrospective application is practicable and that a corresponding adjustment be made to the opening balance of retained earnings (or other appropriate components of equity or net assets in the statement of financial position) for that period rather than being reported in an income statement. When it is impracticable to determine the cumulative effect of applying a change in accounting principle to all prior periods, this Statement requires that the new accounting principle be applied as if it were adopted prospectively from the earliest date practicable. SFAS 154 will be effective for the Company for year ended December 31, 2007. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of SFAS No. 154 will have an impact on the Company's overall results of operations or financial position.
 
In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 155, "Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments--an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140," that allows a preparer to elect fair value measurement at acquisition, at issuance, or when a previously recognized financial instrument is subject to a re-measurement (new basis) event, on an instrument-by-instrument basis, in cases in which a derivative would otherwise have to be bifurcated. It also eliminates the exemption from applying Statement 133 to interests in securitized financial assets so that similar instruments are accounted for similarly regardless of the form of the instruments. This Statement is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of SFAS No. 155 will have an impact on the Company's overall results of operations or financial position.
 
In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 156, "Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets--an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140," that applies to the accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. This Statement requires that all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. An entity should adopt this Statement as of the beginning of its first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of SFAS No. 156 will have an impact on the Company's overall results of operations or financial position.

In July 13, 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. The Interpretation clarifies the way companies are to account for uncertainty in income tax reporting and filing and prescribes a consistent recognition threshold and measurement attribute for recognizing, derecognizing, and measuring the tax benefits of a tax position taken, or expected to be taken, on a tax return. The Interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, although early adoption is possible. The Company does not plan to adopt early and the Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact, if any, the adoption of the Interpretation will have on the 2007 financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the Board having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, this Statement does not require any new fair value measurements. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 will not have an impact on the Company's overall results of operations or financial position.

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) the issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an Amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)” (“SFAS No. 158”). SFAS No. 158 requires companies to report the funded status of their defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans on their balance sheets as a net liability or asset as of December 31, 2006. The new standard does not address the accounting treatment for pension and postretirement benefits in the income statement. The adoption of SFAS No. 158 will have no impact on the Company’s overall results of operations or financial position.
 
In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No.159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an amendment of FASB Statement No.115”. SFAS No.159 permits entities to choose to measure eligible financial instruments and other items at fair value at specified election dates. A business entity shall report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The fair value option may be applied instrument by instrument but only upon the entire instrument - not portions of the instrument. Unless a new election date occurs, the fair value option is irrevocable. SFAS No.159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. The adoption of SFAS No. 159 will not have an impact on the Company's overall results of operations or financial position.
 
NOTE 3 - INVESTMENT IN CANYON CREEK OIL & GAS
 
During July 2005 the Company formed a joint venture with US Production & Exploration, LLC ("USPX") and Triple Crown Consulting ("TCC") named Canyon Creek Oil & Gas, Inc. (“Canyon Creek” or "Canyon"). Canyon was formed for the purpose of acquiring oil and gas producing properties, low risk drilling prospects, and prospects in need of technology to make them viable. USPX is an independent production and exploration company located in Sugar Land, Texas, engaged in the acquisition of oil and gas producing properties with multiple enhancement opportunities. TCC is engaged in the merchant and investment banking and commercial finance broker services and is located in Miami Beach, Florida. In a memorandum of understanding dated July 4, 2005, the ownership percentages were to be as follows: the Company - 25%, USPX - 70%, and TCC - 5%. According to the memorandum of understanding, the Company was required to deliver $300,000 of funding in cash to Canyon within thirty days of the execution of the agreement. In addition, that agreement required the Company to deliver another $200,000 in cash ninety days thereafter.
 
On November 17, 2005 the joint venture agreement was amended and the parties agreed, among other things, to change the ownership proportions to the following: the Company - 65%, USPX -30%, and TCC - 5%. In addition, the Company was required to make a minimum investment of $1,200,000 in cash and stock in Canyon on or before January 31, 2006. USPX has the right to pursue other oil and gas ventures as it deems necessary to carry out its own business plan, provided it offers Canyon the right of first refusal to participate in such ventures. Other terms of note in the joint venture agreement provide for payment of management fees of - 7.5% of defined net operating revenue to USPX, and for the Company to issue 500,000 of its restricted common shares to USPX ten days after the execution of this agreement. To date the Company has not issued the common shares to USPX.
 
On March 24, 2006, Donald Orr resigned from all of his positions as an officer and member of the Board of Directors of Canyon Creek Oil & Gas, Inc. Donald Orr is a member of USPX. USPX was the sole operator of Canyon Creek Oil & Gas, Inc's oil fields.  In the second quarter of 2006, Don Orr commenced a lawsuit against Canyon Creek to which the Company responded and is countersuing. The details and current status of the lawsuits is more fully described under Note 25-Litigation. As of December 31, 2006 UPDA did not accrue any costs related to this matter because the Company believes the suit is without merit.
 
As a result of the litigation, USPX was no longer the operator, leaving Canyon Creek without a licensed field operator in the second quarter.
 
On May 3, 2006, the Company filed articles of incorporation for its new wholly owned-subsidiary UPDA Operators, Inc. UPDA-O was formed to manage all of the Company’s oil and gas well operations. Upon filing its P-5 Organization Report, UPDA Operators, Inc. would be authorized to operate over 150 wells that the Company owns through its subsidiaries. UPDA-O would assume all responsibility for the maintenance and pumping of the Company’s oil and gas wells, manage the reporting and sales of the expanding production, post the necessary bonds with the Texas Railroad Commission and provide adequate insurance for the fields which it will operate. On August 9, 2006, the Railroad Commission of Texas approved UPDA-O’s P-5 Organization Report and now UPDA-O is the sole operator of all the oil and gas wells covered by the Company’s leases. In October 2006 UPDA-O received its P-4 to become the operator of record for Canyon Creek. As of December 31, 2006, UPDA-O is still the operator of record for Canyon Creek.
 
“Oil and Gas Property” assets associated with the leases originally assigned by Donald Orr, including workovers applicable to those leases, totaled approximately $1,970,000 on December 31, 2006. Revenues already earned from October 2005 to December 2006 totaled approximately $382,000. See Note 25 for a detailed discussion of the litigation described in the preceding two paragraphs.
 
Canyon Creek recorded a full cost pool impairment of approximately $15,000 for the year ended December 31,2006. Based on management’s evaluation of the undeveloped leasehold owned by Canyon Creek, it was determined that the Inez was impaired because the Yegua sand was depleted and could not be produced at this zone. The remaining value is the potential completion in the Frio sand zone. As a result, Canyon Creek wrote 60% of its value currently in undeveloped leasehold attributable to the Inez Well or approximately $860,000. Accordingly the Consolidated Statement Operations of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2006 reflects a loss on the impairments of $875,698.

Management believes its reserves are substantially higher than what is reflected in the independent third party reserve report. This third party reserve reports were impacted by the transition of operations from TransPecos (Orr) to UPDA Operators and by a active workover program.. Third party engineers require approximately 120 days of consistent production which UPDA was unable to achieve on many of its properties.

Management intends to continue to monitor production from the wells on a quarterly basis to assess whether the oil and gas properties are further impaired than what was reflected as of December 31, 2006.

NOTE 4 - JOINT VENTURE MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING - UTAH
 
In October 2005, the Company executed a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with Dark Horse Exploration, Inc. (DHE), a Wyoming corporation, and Masaood Group, Ltd. for the development and production of a natural gas and oil field consisting of 4,000 acres in Northern Utah. Under the terms of the MOU, UPDA would own sixty percent (60%) of the joint venture, DHE would own thirty percent (30%) and Masaood would own ten percent (10%). Pursuant to the MOU, DHE will operate the field which presently has five (5) wells and which could be expanded to eighty (80) wells. Masaood agreed to invest $1,000,000 in this joint venture and provided initial funding of $150,000 in cash for leasehold acquisitions and the revitalization of the existing wells. UPDA agreed to re-invest its pro-rata portion of any operating profits realized by this joint venture, up to a maximum of $1,000,000, back into the joint venture to finance the drilling of additional wells. In 2005, the Company formed West Oil, a Nevada Corporation, to be the operating company for this joint venture.
 
In January, 2006, West Oil terminated its relationship with DHE due to the lack of material progress in the joint venture’s operations. Because of the expanding involvement of, and opportunities being generated by Landmark 4, LLC West is currently negotiating to undertake projects that could be significantly more lucrative to the joint venture than those presented by DHE. In conjunction with the termination of West’s relationship with DHE, UPDA increased its stake in West to 70% while Masaood Group, LTD. owns 10% and Mr. Kronvold owns 20% of the equity of West.
 
NOTE 5 - JOINT VENTURE MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING - OKLAHOMA
 
In November 2005, the Company executed a memorandum of understanding with the Lion Partners Hedge Fund to acquire certain oil and gas leases in Osage County, Oklahoma for 3,840 acres, which included 69 producing wells and 27 injection wells. The Company formed Win Rock Energy, Inc., a Nevada corporation, to be the operating entity for this joint venture. There has been no further activity within this joint venture, and Win Rock Energy, Inc. is currently inactive.
 
NOTE 6 - JOINT VENTURE MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING - TEXAS ENERGY
 
In March 2006, UPDA and Sundial Resources, Inc. of Graham, Texas executed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for the development of 382.95 acres on four leases in Young County, Texas. Pursuant to the MOU, UPDA was to provide funding for the workover of the 17 wells on the property. As set forth in the MOU, UPDA was to establish and own 75% of a joint venture corporation, tentatively known as Texas Energy, Inc. According to the memorandum of understanding, the Company was required to provide $400,000 (the amount estimated by Sundial for the completion of the work to make the wells productive) of funding in cash to Texas Energy, Inc. over an unspecified period of time.
 
The above-described MOU also required the Company to pay cash consideration of $100,000 directly to Sundial for its assignment of its 100% working interest in the leases and wells on property commonly known as the Thresher, Medlen, Nantz, and Wiechman fields to the Texas Energy, Inc. joint venture corporation. Sundial was to manage the workover procedures and operate the wells upon completion. For this, Sundial would be paid annual managerial fees equal to 5% of the net operating revenue of Texas Energy, Inc. The Company made an advance payment of $50,000 in March 2006 to Andrew McDermett to be used for the workovers, coincident to remitting the $100,000 to be paid for the leases. In the second quarter ended June 30, 2006, the Company paid approximately $318,900 to Andrew McDermett for workovers and $47,000 for a lease. The venture was to have a term of five years.
 
Sundial was not able to get the wells known as the Thresher, Medlen, Nantz, Wiechman fields to produce in a manner that was satisfactory to Texas Energy. Accordingly, Texas Energy agreed in principle to return to Sundial its 100% working interest in the leases and wells and pay Sundial a $200,000 breakup fee to unwind the transaction and Sundial relinquished its 25% interest in Texas Energy. The Company incurred a loss relating to the unwinding of the Sundial joint venture of approximately $658,000.

NOTE 6 - JOINT VENTURE MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING - TEXAS ENERGY (CONTINUED)

During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company derived approximately $24,000 of Oil and Gas revenues since wells began operations.

Acquisition of Catlin Assets
On June 2, 2006 Texas Energy, Inc. completed the acquisition of certain assets pursuant to the terms and conditions of a Purchase Agreement dated April 12, 2006 (the "PA") by and between Texas Energy as the purchaser and the Catlin Oil Company ("COC"), Virginia Catlin, Randy Catlin and the Estate of Carl Catlin (collectively the "Catlins") as the sellers. The aggregate purchase price of the assets purchased by Texas Energy pursuant to the PA was $1,700,000 in cash. The Company incurred a fee of $50,000 for not completing the transaction in a timely basis.

Texas Energy purchased and COC and the Catlins (collectively the "Sellers") sold all of the rights, title and interest of the Sellers in certain assets collectively defined as the "Jack County Property" in the PA. The Jack County Property consists of: (i) approximately forty-seven acres of real property located in Jack County, Texas, (ii) approximately thirty-six oil and gas Leases on properties located in Jack County, Texas, (iii) certain equipment including, but not limited to, oil and gas wells, wellhead equipment, pumping units, flow lines, tanks, compressors, saltwater disposal facilities, injection facilities and other equipment used in connection with oil and gas exploration, development and production operations, (iv) certain tangible property including, but not limited to, furniture, tools, jigs, molds, rigs, well service units, elevators, trucks, trailers and other vehicles, and (v) certain transferable permits, franchises, approvals, and authorizations used in connection with the Leases.

In connection with the closing of the asset purchase transaction described above, Texas Energy incurred a “finder’s fee “ of $500,000 to NorTex Holdings, Inc. for its professional services in bringing the parties together and facilitating the transaction, which is due in full a day after the transaction closing which took place on June 2, 2006. Accordingly, any amounts unpaid after that day are in technical default. The Company paid $100,000 against the $500,000 owing on June 13, 2006, resulting in an unpaid liability of $400,000 which is included within accounts payable and accrued expenses at the balance sheet date. Texas Energy is currently negotiating with NorTex Holdings, Inc. to reduce this $400,000 liability, and Company management has not received a legal demand for payment under the agreement. The Company incurred $5,833 of consulting fees to Steve Hall owner of NorTex Holding, Inc., during June 2006.

The Company also incurred $51,000 in brokers fees to Max Smith during the second quarter of 2006 related to the Catlin acquisition.

NOTE 7 - SALE OF CANYON CREEK STARR COUNTY LEASE

On May 1, 2006, Canyon Creek, a Nevada corporation, and a sixty-five percent (65%) owned joint venture subsidiary of UPDA, sold to Avalon Oil and Gas, Inc. ("Avalon") fifty percent (50%) of Canyon Creek’s working interest in the oil and gas leaseholds of Canyon Creek located in Starr County, Texas for an aggregate purchase price of $75,000 cash and 7,500,000 shares of Avalon's common stock. The shares of Avalon were valued by the Company at a fair market value of $.14 (the publicly traded share price of that entities freely trading common stock based on a ten day average), less a twenty-five (25%) restricted stock discount, on the date that the leases were transferred to Avalon for a net price per share of $.11.

Subsequently during the fourth quarter of 2006, Canyon Creek wrote off the Avalon restricted shares as management did not believe they had any future value based on the current stock price and current state of Avalon’s business. The “Net Gain on the Sale to Avalon Oil and Gas, Inc.” of $28,000 was calculated as the value of total proceeds received from Avalon which consisted of 7,500,000 shares of Avalon’s common stock value at $0 plus $75,000 less the cost basis in the oil and gas leaseholds of $47,000.
 
Thad Kaplan became a board member of Canyon Creek in January 2006 and Chief Operation Officer of Canyon Creek in July 2006. The Company incurred a salary to him of $42,000 during the year ended December 31, 2006. He continues to serve as a member of the Board of Directors of Avalon, to whom the Company as described in the preceding paragraph sold an Oil lease and recognize a gain on its sale. Previously, he was serving as a consultant with the Company, a position he commenced in May of 2006, for which the Company incurred $7,000 of consulting fees and services.

NOTE 8 - ACQUISITION OF US PETROLEUM DEPOT

On April 20, 2006, the Company made a deposit of $50,000 under the terms of a letter of intent to purchase the US Petroleum Depot, an oil storage facility in Brownsville, Texas a total of $1,000,000. In March 2007 US Petroleum completed the acquisition of the oil storage facility.

NOTE 9 - LETTER OF CREDIT
 
As of December 31, 2006, the Company is contingently liable to Wachovia for an open letter of credit in the amount of $250,000 for issuance and filing with the Texas Railroad Commission which is secured by a $250,000 deposit account at the bank in the form of a certificate of deposit that becomes due on August 2, 2007 and accrues interest at a rate of 5.26%. At December 31, 2006 restricted cash in the balance sheet in the amount of $255,831 represents the amount on deposit including interest.
 
NOTE 10 - SALE OF OVERRIDING INTEREST

On October 1, 2006, Canyon Creek sold 5% of their overriding royalty interest on oil and gas property leases they currently hold (“ORRI”) to Benka Partners, Ltd (“Benka Partners”) and 5% of their ORRI to Joan Partners, Ltd (“Joan Partners”) for a total sum of $500,000. On October 1, 2006, Catlin sold 5% of their ORRI to Benka Partners and 5% of their ORRI to Joan Partners for a total sum of $500,000.

In general no gains or losses should be recognized under full cost accounting for sales of oil and gas properties unless such adjustments to capitalized oil and gas property costs arising from these transactions would materially distort the amortization rate. In regulation SX 4-10, the SEC states a material distortion will not occur unless 25% or more of the reserves are sold. Accordingly, in the 2006 consolidated financials statements, the Company has reflected $1,000,000 as a reduction in the producing asset pool.
 
NOTE 11 - ACQUISITION OF OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES
 
Upon formation of Canyon, USPX contributed leasehold rights to certain oil and gas properties in North Texas valued at cost of $607,031, which consisted of a total of 2,489 acres and 61 wells in Archer, Coleman, and Palo Pinto Counties. A portion of these leases were classified as proved reserves at December 31, 2006, and accordingly, acquisition costs are subject to amortization.
 
In August 2005, Canyon purchased a 243-acre oil and gas lease in Victoria County, Texas. The lease is located in the Inez Gas Field about one mile west of Inez, Texas. The leasehold was acquired in exchange for 100,000 shares of UPDA stock, which was valued at $55,000, the fair market value on the date of issuance. These wells were classified as unproven reserves at December 31, 2006 and accordingly, acquisition costs are not subject to amortization.

NOTE 11 - ACQUISITION OF OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES (CONTINUED)
 
In September 2005, Canyon acquired an 80-acre lease in Fayette County, Texas for $16,000 in cash. The lease is located in the Giddings Gas Field, one of the largest producing gas fields in Texas. The Fayette County lease was subsequently sold in the fourth quarter of 2006 for $25,000 and a gain on the sale of the lease was recognized for $9,000.
 
In October 2005, Canyon completed the acquisition of a 266.73-acre oil and gas lease in Starr County, Texas for $94,000 in cash. The lease is located in the Boyle Field. These reserves are classified as unproved reserves at December 31, 2005. On May 1, 2006, Canyon sold 50% of its working interest in the oil and gas leaseholds for $47,000. Refer to Note 7 for further detail on the partial sale of the working interest in this lease. In October 2006, the Starr County lease expired and UPDA was not able to renew from the mineral owner.
 
In October 2005, Canyon completed the acquisition of a 40-acre oil and gas lease in Young County, Texas for a cash purchase price of $18,000. The lease is located in the Prideaux Field. These wells were classified as undeveloped at December 31, 2006, and accordingly, acquisition costs are not subject to amortization.
 
In the second quarter 2006, Texas Energy completed the acquisition of a lease in Texas for $47,000 in cash from Sundial. Sundial was not able to get the wells known as the Thresher, Medlen, Nantz, Wiechman fields to produce in a manner that was satisfactory to Texas Energy. Accordingly, Texas Energy agreed to return to Sundial its 100% working interest in the leases and wells and pay Sundial a $200,000 breakup fee to unwind the transaction and Sundial is required to relinquish its 25% interest in Texas Energy. This resulted in the sale of the lease and the recognition of approximately $658,000 loss on the termination of the joint venture at December 31, 2006.
 
In June 2006, Texas Energy completed the acquisition of Catlin Common/Gifford oil and gas leases in Jack County, Texas (these assets were subsequently transferred to Catlin Oil and Gas) for a purchase price of $2.3 million. The acquisition consisted of more than 30 leases and 65 wells, covering approximately 3,000 acres and various oil field equipment. A portion of these leases are classified as proved reserves at December 31, 2006. Acquisition costs are not subject to amortization until reserves may be classified proven.

NOTE 12 - ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS
 
The Company follows SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, which requires entities to record the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation when it is incurred which, for the Company, is typically when an oil or gas well is drilled or purchased. The standard applies to legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development or normal use of the asset. The Company's asset retirement obligations relate primarily to the obligation to plug and abandon oil and gas wells and support wells at the conclusion of their useful lives.
 
SFAS No. 143 requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred, if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. When the liability is initially recorded, the related cost is capitalized by increasing the carrying amount of the related oil and gas property. Over time, the liability is accreted upward for the change in its present value each period until the obligation is settled. The initial capitalized cost is amortized as a component of oil and gas properties.
 
NOTE 13 - SUPPLIER AGREEMENTS
 
Sunoco, Inc
 
On November 4, 2005, Canyon Creek entered into a month-to-month agreement with Sunoco, Inc. (“Sunoco”) pursuant to which Sunoco will gather and purchase the oil produced from Canyon Creek's wells in the Fort Worth basin in North Central Texas. Sunoco has agreed to pay a one-dollar per barrel bonus over the posted price for West Texas Intermediate crude. In its agreement with Sunoco, Canyon Creek has specifically listed all of its properties located in Coleman, Palo Pinto, and Archer Counties. Accordingly, Canyon Creek has reserved the right and option to renegotiate the price or change the purchaser every 30 days, as it deems necessary.

West Texas Gas (WTG)

On October 1, 2005, Canyon entered a three-year natural gas purchase contract with WTG Jameson, LP to market casing head gas at its Hagler leases in Coleman County. Under the agreement, Canyon must pay certain fees and commissions on natural gas sales to WTG Jameson, LP.

NOTE 19 - INVESTMENT IN PREFERRED SERIES B RULE 144 RESTRICTED STOCK OF SITEWORKS BUILDING AND DEVELOPMENT CO., A PUBLICLY-TRADED ENTITY
 
Pursuant to the terms of the rescission of a real estate acquisition transaction between the Company and Mr. Kamal Abdallah, on July 27, 2005, Mr. Abdallah transferred 1,000,000 restricted shares of $1 face value per share Convertible Preferred Series B stock of Siteworks Building and Development Co. ("Siteworks"), a publicly-traded company, to the Company in exchange for the conveyance to Mr. Abdallah of certain real estate properties by the Company. These transferred marketable securities of Siteworks had an aggregate fair value of approximately $1,000,000 on the date of the transfer, based on the publicly traded share price of the underlying common stock of Siteworks into which the preferred stock is convertible. Mr. Abdallah is the current Chairman, President and CEO of the Company.
 
Background
 
On June 17, 2005, Mr. Abdallah received 1,100,000 restricted shares of Siteworks Convertible Preferred Series B Stock from Siteworks as a partial compensation for his transferring certain real property (comprised of a former Wal-Mart store, vacant land, and a parking lot) with an aggregate appraised value of $2,800,000 to Siteworks on that date. In addition to receiving Convertible Preferred Series B stock, Mr. Abdallah also received 35,000,000 Siteworks common shares with an estimated fair value of $1,000,000, based on the publicly traded share price of that common stock on the date of issuance. On July 27, 2005, as described in the preceding paragraph, Mr. Abdallah transferred 1,000,000 shares of his Siteworks Convertible Preferred Series B stock to the Company. Mr. Abdallah retained ownership of 100,000 shares of the Convertible Preferred Series B stock, the 35,000,000 shares or 44% of the voting capital stock of Siteworks (assuming that both the Company's and Mr. Abdallah’s Siteworks Convertible Preferred Series B Stock were converted to that entity's common stock).
 
In its originally filed Form 10-QSB for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2006 filed on August 18, 2006, Siteworks (now known as “SBD International, Inc.”) indicated in its footnotes to the financial statements that it had determined the property was not free and clear of mortgages and liens, that there was a second mortgage of approximately $1,200,000 in the name of former seller who was committed to make the payments on the mortgage and that the 35,000,000 shares described in the preceding paragraph had been placed in escrow and would be retired if the individual did not make the payment.
 
Substitution of Siteworks B Preferred Stock with $1 million
 
During the month of June 2006, the Company deposited an aggregate of $1,000,000 it received from Mr. Abdallah in consideration for the Company’s assignment of the 100,000 Convertible Preferred Series B stock back to him, resulting in no gain or loss to the Company on the preferred shares. This substitution of cash occurred a year after the original transfer of Abdallah’s 1,000,000 shares of his Siteworks Convertible Preferred Series B stock to the Company. The transaction was memorialized in an agreement between the Company and Mr. Abdallah dated July 18, 2006 and approved by its two other members of the Board of Directors. (See Note 20 - “Equity Transactions” concerning the fair value of beneficial conversion feature related to the Company’s Series A convertible preferred stock received by Mr. Abdallah on August 4, 2005 in conjunction with the original Siteworks preferred stock transfer).

NOTE 20 - EQUITY TRANSACTIONS
 
Chronological Listing of Common and Preferred Stock Equity Transactions
 
In December 2005 the Company agreed to issue 1,218 shares Class B Preferred stock in exchange for an investment of $1,218,000 from Miramar Investments, Inc. pursuant to a previously executed investment agreement. The stock certificates were issued during the first quarter of 2006.

On September 30,2005 the Company agreed to issue 255 shares of Class B convertible preferred stock with a $1,000 face value to Bratenahl Estates Development, LLC in consideration of $255,000 in cash. One share of Class B Preferred is convertible into 2,000 shares of Common Stock, which would equate to 510,000 common shares if the entire 255 preferred shares were converted. The 255 preferred shares or common stock converted there under are subject to Rule 144 restrictions. The Company received the entire $255,000 in cash during the third quarter. The 255 shares of Class B Preferred Stock certificates were issued to Bratenahl during the first quarter of 2006.
 
During December 2005 the Company issued 133,333 shares of common stock to Kamal Abdallah for $200,000.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company issued 5,136,50 shares of its common stock under the terms of its 2004 Stock Incentive Plan to various consultants and employees for consulting services. Accordingly, the Company recorded a non-cash charge of $7,641,860 related to these issuances, based on the trading price of Company common shares on the date on which the shares were issued. 

In August 2005, Canyon Creek purchased a 243-acre oil and gas lease in Victoria County, Texas. The lease is located in the Inez Gas Field, about one mile west of Inez, Texas. The leasehold was acquired in exchange for 100,000 shares of the Company stock under regulation 144r, valued at $55,000, which was the fair market value on the date of issue.
 
As part of the Canyon Creek joint venture formation the Company was required to issue 500,000 shares of its restricted common shares to USPX ten days after the execution of the agreement for consulting services. To date the Company has not issued the common shares to USPX. The company recorded a non-cash charge of $265,000 related to this issuance, based on the trading price of Company common shares on the date on which the shares were issued

During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company issued 1,062,939 shares of its common stock in settlement of liabilities. The company recorded a non-cash gain on settlement of liabilities of $6,801 related to these issuances.

In August 2004, the Company entered into a financing agreement with Carol Pop, an individual investor that had already been amended to extend the closing to May 1, 2005. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company issued 222,220 restricted common shares for $350,000, of which the Company received $20,000 against the subscription prior to December 31, 2004. Accordingly, at December 31, 2004, the remainder balance of the subscription receivable was $330,000 and had been offset against shareholders' deficit .In August 2005 the Company and Carol Pop agreed to cancel 222,220 shares previously issued as Carol Pop was unable to deliver the remaining $330,000. The Company agreed to issue common stock for the $20,000 previously received from Carol Pop. The shares were not issued to Carol Pop. However, Carol Pop did return the shares in 2005.

The Company had incurred $21,355 in costs associated with the previously pending Company acquisition of real estate from Carol Pop involved in the financing agreement discussed in the previous paragraph. The aforementioned costs were been written off as a "loss on impairment of investment acquisition costs" during the second quarter of 2005.
 
On August 4, 2005, the Company issued 80,000 shares of its Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to Kamal Abdallah for an aggregate purchase price of $800,000. Each share of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into 1,000 shares of UPDA common stock. All shares of Mr. Abdallah's Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are currently convertible into 80,000,000 shares of UPDA common stock. Mr. Abdallah paid for the shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock by transferring securities owned by him with an aggregate market value of $800,000 to UPDA.
 
On August 4, 2005, the Company issued 20,000 shares of its Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to Christopher McCauley for an aggregate purchase price of $200,000. Each share of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into 1,000 shares of UPDA common stock. All shares of Mr. McCauley's Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are currently convertible into 20,000,000 shares of UPDA common stock. Mr. McCauley paid for the shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock by transferring securities owned by him with an aggregate market value of $200,000 to UPDA.
 
The fair value of the common stock that would be issued under the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock conversion feature, based on the trading price of the common stock on August 4, 2005, was $40,000,000 and exceeded the consideration of $1,000,000 received for the issuance of that preferred stock. Accordingly, during the year ended December 31, 2005 the Company has reflected a dividend in the form of a beneficial conversion feature, to the extent of the consideration received ($1,000,000), offset by a corresponding credit to additional paid in capital. The Company recorded a beneficial conversion relating to the conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock because the fair market value of the common stock was greater than the face value of the preferred stock. The beneficial conversion as measured is limited to the capital raised from the sale of the preferred stock pursuant to EITF 98-5.
 
On March 17, 2006, the Company issued 500,000 shares of its common stock under the terms of its 2004 Stock Incentive Plan in an agreement of settlement and release of claims for past consulting services in settlement of accounts payable and accrued expense payable of $125,000, resulting in a $30,000 gain on conversion costs and an increase in the same amount to stock issued for services being incurred from these liabilities.

During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company issued 10,084,850 shares of its common stock under the terms of its 2004 Stock Incentive Plan to various consultants and employees for current year consulting services. Accordingly, the Company recorded a non-cash charge of $1,045,570 related to these issuances, based on the trading price of Company common shares on the date on which the shares were issued. Of the 10,084,850 shares of common stock issued in the year ended December 31, 2006, 75,000 shares of common stock were issued to related parties.

On December 27, 2006, the Company issued 3,700,000 shares of its common stock under the terms of its 2004 Stock Incentive Plan to Geoffrey Gordon Creed in full satisfaction of fees for past consulting services pursuant to a settlement agreement between the parties. Accordingly, the Company recorded a non-cash charge of $555,000 related to this issuance, based on the trading price of Company common shares on the date on which the shares were issued.

During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company issued 4,740 shares of its Class B Preferred Stock to Miramar Investments, Inc. (“Miramar”) pursuant to the terms of an investment agreement between Miramar and the Company. The shares of Class B Preferred Stock issued to Miramar are restricted shares and cannot be resold unless they are subsequently registered pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or such sale is pursuant to a valid exemption from such registration. Each share of Class B Preferred Stock is convertible into 20,000 shares of our common stock and is so convertible immediately upon issuance. The transaction referred to above did not involve an underwriter or placement agent and there were no underwriter’s discounts or commissions, or placement agent fees or commissions, paid in connection with the transaction. Miramar Investments, Inc. is an accredited investor, as defined by Rule 501 of Regulation D, and has the business and financial knowledge to analyze the risks associated with an investment in our Class B Preferred Stock. The securities issued to Miramar Investments, Inc., were in exchange for $4,740,000 in cash. The transaction referred to above was an exempt transaction in accordance with the provisions of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as a transaction by an issuer not involving any public offering. We did not engage in any public solicitations in connection with the above transaction.

(“Bratenahl”) and the Company, the Company advised its stock transfer agent that it was authorized to convert certain certificates representing 102 shares of $.001 par value “unlettered” convertible preferred stock of the Company held by Bratenahl into common stock of the Company at a conversion rate of 200,000 shares of common stock for each share of such preferred stock (an aggregate of 20,400,000 shares of common stock on a fully converted basis). The outstanding shares of this preferred stock are restricted shares, but they have been fully paid and outstanding for a period in excess of two years from the date of their issuance by the Company. No additional consideration is payable upon the conversion of this preferred stock to shares of our common stock. Accordingly, the holders of the shares of underlying common stock issued upon conversion of shares of this preferred stock are entitled to request the removal of any restrictive legends that would be attached to the common shares so issued in accordance with the provisions of Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Management of the Company considers the conversion of the unlettered convertible preferred shares by Bratenahl as a change in conversion feature in accordance with EITF 00.27 which required the difference in conversion to be treated as a dividend to the unlettered preferred stock holder. The fair market value on the commitment date for 20,400,000 shares of the Company’s common stock was valued at $12,850,329. Accordingly a change in conversion feature has been recorded in accordance with EITF 00.27 and the Company has reflected a stock dividend during the third quarter of 2005 of $12,850,329.

During the third and fourth quarter period ended December 31, 2005, 66 out of the 102 “unlettered” convertible preferred shares held by Bratenahl were converted by Bratenahl into 13,200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Recording of the conversion of the 66 shares into common stock resulted in crediting “Common Stock” within “Shareholders’ Deficiency” for $13,225 at its par value and a corresponding charge against “Additional Paid-in Capital” in the same amount, since the par value of the “Unlettered Convertible Preferred” shares was nominal.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2006, the remaining 36 shares of this “unlettered” convertible preferred stock held by Bratenahl were converted by Bratenahl into 7,200,000 shares of common stock valued at $7,200.

During the year ended December 31, 2006, pursuant to an agreement between Devida Capital, LLC (“Devida”) and the Company, the Company advised its stock transfer agent that it was authorized to convert certain certificates representing 460 shares of $.001 par value “unlettered” convertible preferred stock of the Company held by Devida into common stock of the Company at a conversion rate of 200,000 shares of common stock for each share of such preferred stock (an aggregate of 92,000,000 shares of common stock on a fully converted basis). The outstanding shares of this preferred stock are restricted shares, but they have been fully paid and outstanding for a period in excess of two years from the date of their issuance by the Company. No additional consideration is payable upon the conversion of this preferred stock to shares of our common stock. Accordingly, the holders of the shares of underlying common stock issued upon conversion of shares of this preferred stock are entitled to request the removal of any restrictive legends that would be attached to the common shares so issued in accordance with the provisions of Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Management of the Company considers the conversion of this unlettered convertible preferred stock by Devida as a change in conversion feature in accordance with EITF 00.27 which required the difference in conversion to be treated as a dividend to the unlettered preferred stock holder. The difference between the original conversion feature and the fair market value of 92,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock on the commitment date was valued at $9,199,264. Accordingly a change in conversion feature has been recorded in accordance with EITF 00.27 and the Company has reflected a stock dividend during the fourth quarter of 2006 for $9,199,264.

As of March 20, 2007, none of these preferred shares have as yet been converted to common stock. If these preferred shares had been converted to common stock as of December 31, 2006, Kamal Abdallah and Christopher McCauley, as officers of the Company would have controlled 22% of the ownership of the Company common stock.

Subsequently during the fourth quarter of 2006, Canyon Creek wrote off the Avalon restricted shares as management did not believe they had any future value based on the current stock price and current state of Avalon’s business. The “Net Gain on the Sale to Avalon Oil and Gas, Inc.” of $28,000 was calculated as the value of total proceeds received from Avalon which consisted of 7,500,000 shares of Avalon’s common stock value of $0 plus $75,000 less the cost basis in the oil and gas leaseholds of $47,000.

NOTE 25 - LITIGATION
 
In June of 2006 Texas Energy entered into an agreement for the purchase of a pipeline and certain other oil and gas assets for $1.7 million. As part of the transaction Texas Energy remitted a deposited of $100,000. Subsequently as title to those assets was under review, it was determined that clear title could not be established and the Sellers were notified orally of Texas Energy’s intention to cancel the transaction. Although this oral notification was provided prior to the deadline set forth in the contract for the return of the deposit, written notification was not provided by Texas Energy’s attorney until after that deadline had passed. Upon notification from the Seller’s counsel and that he intended to release the escrow to his client, Texas Energy immediately filed suit and obtained an injunction against the release of the funds.
 
Texas Energy is currently in negotiations for the purchase of oil and gas leases located in Palo Pinto, Texas for $2.8 million. The seller has agreed to apply the $100,000 paid in the above transaction to the purchase price of this transaction in settlement of the litigation.
 
On November 17, 2005, the Company, USPX, and Triple Crown Consulting ("TCC"), a private corporation, entered into a joint venture agreement (the "Agreement"). Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Company, USPX and TCC formed Canyon Creek as the joint venture entity to carry out the proposed operations of the joint venture. The Company owns 65% of the capital stock of Canyon Creek, USPX owns 30% of the capital stock of Canyon Creek and TCC owns 5% of the capital stock of Canyon Creek.

Under the terms of the Agreement, and as consideration for their respective shares of the capital stock of Canyon Creek, the Company invested $1,200,000 to finance the operations of the joint venture, USPX assigned certain oil and gas leases to the joint venture and TCC agreed to provide ongoing management consulting services to the joint venture. The leases assigned to the joint venture by USPX cover approximately two thousand acres and contain approximately 60 oil and gas wells. The joint venture also acquired additional acreage and wells and intended to pursue further acquisitions of currently producing oil and gas properties, low risk drilling prospects and existing wells in need of technology to improve profitability. In addition, USPX principal was installed as President of Canyon Creek.

The Company paid an additional $2 million in workover costs that were incurred to place the oil and gas wells into working order.

USPX was responsible for the day-to-day operations of Canyon Creek, but the Company has control over the appointment of the financial officer of Canyon Creek. USPX was to be paid a managerial fee equal to 7.5% of the net operating revenue of Canyon Creek.

As a result of a review of the activities and expenditures of Canyon Creek that were undertaken and/or approved by USPX, the Company requested an explanation from USPX for apparent improprieties and mismanagement. As a result of that request, Don Orr submitted his resignation as President and board member of Canyon Creek and USPX was dismissed as manager of the properties.

On April 12, 2006, USPX filed suit against the Company, alleging that the Company had breached the above joint venture agreement. Specifically, USPX alleged that the Company committed wrongful acts, including the misappropriation of opportunities, misappropriation of business and proprietary information, fraud, and conspiracy to intentionally cause damage to USPX. In addition USPX is alleging that it has failed to receive any or all of the consideration that it was promised by the Company or Canyon Creek. USPX is also alleging that the Company and Canyon Creek fraudulently induced USPX and its principal, Donald Orr, into causing the transfer and assignment of certain oil and gas interests held by them.

The Company is contending that Donald Orr had received and/or incurred expenses that were not related to Canyon Creek, based upon a preliminary internal investigation.  Upon being confronted with these allegations, Mr. Orr resigned his position with Canyon Creek. The Company is in the process of filing a counter claim that would induce USPX to relinquish its 30% equity interest in Canyon Creek and repay the cash it had received and spent inappropriately.
 
On June 20, 2006, the Company filed a response denying the allegations. The matter is currently pending. As of the consolidated balance sheet date, the Company has not accrued any costs related to this matter, because the Company believes the suit is without merit. In addition, “Oil and Gas Property” assets associated with the leases originally assigned by Donald Orr, including workovers applicable to those leases, totaled $1,970,000 on December 31, 2006. Revenues already earned from October 2005 to December 2006 totaled $382,000.

As of December 31, 2006, Miller Electric, a vendor, filed suit against the Company for $51,000 for unpaid invoices. The Company is currently negotiating a settlement for the lawsuit with Miller Electric.
 
NOTE 26 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS 

On January 15, 2007 Catlin and UPDA-O entered into an agreement for settlement and general release of claim with Trinidad Roustabout Services (NAVA) in which, Nava releases Catlin and UPDA-O from any and all claims any and all claims of unpaid invoices and supplies or services that were provided to Catlin and UPDA-O. In return, Catlin will pay Nava $15,000 in full satisfaction and Nava agrees to accept the sum as full and final settlement of any and all claims.

On March 5, 2007 the Company sold 5% of the outstanding stock of Canyon Creek, or 5,000 shares, to Anjos Partners Ltd. (“Anjos Partners”) for $200,000. On March 5, 2007 the Company sold 5% of the outstanding stock of Catlin (5,000 shares) to both Anjos Partners for $300,000 and Eleben Partners for $300,000.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION ON OIL AND GAS PRODUCING ACTIVITIES (CONTINUED)
 
The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows is computed by applying year-end prices of oil and gas to the estimated future production of proved oil and gas reserves, less estimated future expenditures (based on year-end costs) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved reserves, less estimated future income tax expenses (based on year-end statutory tax rates) to be incurred on pretax net cash flows less tax basis of the properties and available credits, and assuming continuation of existing economic conditions. The estimated future net cash flows are then discounted using a rate of 10 percent per year to reflect the estimated timing of the future cash flows.
