PART I

Item 1.          Description of Business.

This annual report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These statements relate to future events or our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may”, “should”, “ expects”, “plans”, “anticipates”, “believes”, “estimates”, “predicts”, “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including the risks in the section entitled “Risk Factors”, that may cause our or our industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.

Our financial statements are stated in United States dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. In this annual report, unless otherwise specified, all dollar amounts are expressed in United States dollars. All references to “common shares” refer to shares of our common stock.

As used in this annual report, the terms “we”, “us”, “our”, and “Pluris” means Pluris Energy Group Inc. and our wholly owned subsidiaries, Pluris Energy Group Inc., a British Virgin Islands corporation, Pluris Sarmiento Petroleo SA, an Argentine corporation and our former subsidiary Petrogen, Inc., a Colorado corporation, unless otherwise indicated.

Corporate Overview

We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on December 3, 1997 under the name “Hadrosaurus Resources, Inc.”. On January 20, 1998, we filed an amendment to the articles of incorporation changing our name to “Hadro Resources, Inc.” On February 12, 2003, subsequent to the acquisition of Petrogen, Inc. (“Petrogen”), we filed an amendment to the articles of incorporation changing our name to “Petrogen Corp.”

On October 11, 2002, effective February 12, 2003, Hadro Resources, Inc. (now known as Petrogen Corp.), Petrogen, and the shareholders of Petrogen (the “Petrogen Shareholders”) entered into a share exchange agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement, we acquired from the Petrogen Shareholders one hundred percent (100%) of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Petrogen and issued 7,000,000 shares of our restricted common stock to the Petrogen Shareholders in proportion to their respective holdings in Petrogen.

Effective September 12, 2006, we completed a merger with our subsidiary, Pluris Energy Group Inc., which we incorporated solely to effect the name change. As a result, we changed our name from “Petrogen Corp.” to “Pluris Energy Group Inc.” We changed the name of our company to better reflect the direction and business of our company. The name change became effective with NASDAQ OTC Bulletin Board at the opening of market and trading on September 12, 2006 under the new symbol “PEYG”.

On September 12, 2006, we effected a five (5) for one (1) reverse stock split of our authorized, issued and outstanding common stock. As a result, our authorized capital was decreased from 100,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 to 20,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001. Our issued and outstanding share capital decreased from 68,249,605 shares of common stock to 13,649,921 shares of common stock.


- 4 -

On or about September 18, 2006, our board of directors unanimously approved an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation, pursuant to which our authorized share capital would be increased from 20,000,000 shares of common stock to 250,000,000 shares of common stock and to create 100,000,000 preferred shares. On or about September 29, 2006, our shareholders holding a majority of the total issued and outstanding shares of our common stock gave approval to the amendment to our Articles of Incorporation pursuant to a written consent. The increase in our authorized capital and the creation of the preferred shares was filed with the Nevada Secretary of State on November 21, 2006.

The purpose of increasing our authorized capital to 250,000,000 shares of common stock is to optimize the long term future growth potential of our organization on a share structure basis without requiring additional shareholder approvals to enable for the long term expansion of our business mandate. Specifically this will provide for other equity financing requirements we may have for the long term as well as for the development, expansion and additional acquisition of international oil and gas properties that fit within our mandated business objectives.

Our executive office is located at Suite 2703 – 550 Pacific Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada and our telephone number is 604.607.1677.

Our Current Business

We are an independent energy company specialized in capturing international and domestic business opportunities including, but not limited to, the acquisition and exploration of oil and natural gas properties in South America; primarily in the region of Argentina. As an emerging junior upstream and midstream oil and natural gas company, our objectives through the activities of our wholly owned subsidiaries, Petrogen, Inc., Pluris BVI and Pluris Sarmiento Petroleo SA , are to focus upon acquiring oil and natural gas prospects in what we believe to be high impact hydrocarbon rich regions in Argentina with the intent of successfully fulfilling our business mandate of finding hydrocarbons through planned operational activities acceptable to the standards of the energy industry . Our core business strategy was redefined in mid-2006 to acquire non-operated and operated working interests in oil and gas fields throughout South America and particularly Argentina that display the potential of fulfilling the basis of our business mandate and that can provide for the potential of high yield returns on hydrocarbon related income opportunities for our shareholders.

Argentina

On August 18, 2006, our company entered into a share purchase agreement (the “SPA”) with four individuals to purchase all the issued and outstanding shares of San Enrique Petrolera, S.A. (“SEPSA”), incorporated under the laws of Argentina for the agreed upon acquisition price of $44 million. The SEPSA acquisition marks our first step in engaging our newly mandated business plans to acquire a working interest in producing oil and gas properties located in Argentina’s hydrocarbon regions. SEPSA’s interests include five hydrocarbon producing properties located in three of Argentina’s five oil and gas producing basins. In order to secure the rights to purchase SEPSA, an escrow agreement (the “Escrow”) was entered into among our company, SEPSA and Deutsch Bank Trust Company Americas, New York (“DB”), whereby we issued a $3,225,000 convertible, non-retractable redeemable unsecured bond (the “Bond”) in the name of Pluris Energy Group Inc., a British Virgin Islands corporation (“Pluris BVI”), which has been placed into the Escrow at DB. Terms of the Escrow stipulate certain conversion provisions of the Bond predicated upon the performance of both SEPSA and our company. Terms under the SPA pursuant to the Bond stipulate that in the event that we do not perform under the SPA terms agreed upon between us and SEPSA, that ownership of the Bond can be transferred from Pluris BVI to SEPSA. Currently, we believe that we have performed specific to the terms of the SPA as it relates to the Bond stipulations there under and there is no matter that could be or has been raised by us or SEPSA that would result in our having to transfer ownership of the Bond to SEPSA. In the event that the Bond is transferred from our company to SEPSA, SEPSA will retain certain privileges of Bond conversion into common shares of our company at prices ranging from $3.25 per common share to $9.25 per common share. The Bond is due in five years time at an interest rate of LIBOR plus 5%, with a floor of 10.5% and a ceiling of 13%. Interest on the Bond can be paid in common share equity of our company at our company’s discretion. This Bond will not be considered issued and outstanding for accounting purposes until such time as the Bond is transferred to SEPSA.

One of the five properties owned by SEPSA, known as Tierra Del Fuego (“TDF”) is the subject of a Joint Venture


- 5 -

agreement (the “JV”) with four other JV participants, each of which possesses a Right of First Refusal (the “ROFR”) to purchase SEPSA’s interest in TDF under a “match or pass” status. In October of 2006, SEPSA provided the four JV participants to TDF, notification of our company having won the bid to purchase SEPSA, and under such notification, those JV participants were provided with 30 days to match our company’s allocation on the TDF property, or pass on their ROFR, thereafter enabling us to complete our acquisition of SEPSA, inclusive of all or part of SEPSA’s interests in the TDF property. Prior to the end of that 30 day notification period, two of the four JV participants commenced proceedings against SEPSA in the Argentine Commercial Courts seeking intermediary action in regard to their rights under the terms of the JV’s ROFR. On March 22, 2007 we were advised by SEPSA that as an outcome to those proceedings, two injunctions were imposed by the Argentina National Commercial Court of Appeals on behalf of Apco Argentina Inc. (“Apco”) and Antrim Energy Inc. (“Antrim”) prohibiting the sale of SEPSA’s shares to our company until such time as the ROFR issues between SEPSA, Apco and Antrim are resolved.

As a result of the Injunctions imposed by Apco and Antrim, based upon the confirmation by the National Commercial Court of Appeals of the injunctions, on April 23, 2007, we informed SEPSA’s shareholders that they should abstain from selling or disposing in any manner to any third party any of SEPSA’s shares that SEPSA has undertaken to sell to our company under the terms of the SPA and that SEPSA should abstain from disposing any of the assets it owned at the time the SPA was signed. In response, SEPSA informed our company of its unilateral repudiation of the SPA, stating that as an effect of the injunctions imposed by Apco and Antrim, certain terms of the SPA were triggered, rendering the SPA terminated. We maintain that the terms of the SPA clearly stipulate that any dispute arising under the SPA must be mutually addressed between us and SEPSA through the International Chamber of Commerce, Paris, France. Therefore, we commenced an arbitral action against SEPSA through The Secretariat of the Court, International Court of Arbitration, International Chamber of Commerce, Paris, France (the “ICC”), requesting the ICC to enforce SEPSA’s obligations under the terms agreed upon in the SPA and to sell 100% of the shares of SEPSA and that their other obligations set forth under the SPA are in full force and effect and to award damages incurred by us.

In December of 2007, SEPSA and our company agreed to abide by a specific set of principles related to the arbitral proceedings referred to as Terms of Reference (the “TOR”), whereby SEPSA and our company mandated to the ICC under the TOR the prevailing issues that the ICC should address related to both parties’ positions related to the SPA and to what specific issues the ICC should make declarations under related to the arbitral proceedings between SEPSA and our company. Under the TOR, SEPSA, our company and the ICC agreed to a specific schedule whereby our company and SEPSA must submit to the ICC specific materials requested of us and SEPSA by the ICC at specific dates in order to move the arbitral process towards a conclusion. As at the date of this filing, our company and SEPSA have filed our respective offerings of evidence related to our specific claims and counter claims. In this regard, we have made an initial claim of damages in the estimated amount of $46.4 million for loss of revenue from July 1, 2006; loss of business opportunity related to increases to the values of assets owned and/or controlled by SEPSA and loss of out of pocket expenses from the inception of our efforts to win the bid for and complete the acquisition of SEPSA. SEPSA has filed an initial counter claim in the amount of $150,000 for recovery of its legal expenses and translation fees incurred to date related to the dispute between it and our company.

On January 16th, 2009 we were advised by our Argentine council that we received a favourable Arbitration Award from the ICC. The twenty-nine page docket rendered by the ICC binding the parties to the Award, approved by majority, determines that the SPA is terminated retroactively to October 31, 2006. It further determines that the SPA's early termination was seventy percent (70%) the responsibility of San Enrique and thirty percent (30%) the responsibility of Pluris Energy.

Prior to the date of this filing, the parties to the arbitral proceedings were summoned by the arbitral tribunal, whereby the tribunal advised the parties that they would shortly be making a determination of and request from both SEPSA and our company, to provide our final damages claims’ to the ICC in the form that they require as a means for the tribunal to determine its final overall damages rendering related to the dispute. To our best knowledge, the responsibility in the final damages award anticipated from the ICC, which will be rendered by the tribunal based upon their exclusive assessment of all the evidence offered by the parties related to the dispute, would be allocated in the same proportion as the results from the partial award recently received from the ICC. The partial award rendering further stated that the final damages award would be provided to the parties in the second quarter of 2009 ; however, there is no determination as to the length of time necessary for the ICC to make its final determination


- 6 -

pursuant to the final damages award and, in that regard; we do not know what the final damages award may comprise. We believe that our position related to the claim we filed against SEPSA is substantive and that the issues pertaining to and being sought for resolution by us through the arbitral proceedings between us and SEPSA can be resolved in a manner that represents the best interests of our company.

We have chosen to suspend a planned offering of a $65,000,000 convertible, non-retractable, redeemable, unsecured bond instrument (the “$65M Bonds”) until such time as the outcome of the ROFR issues, injunctions and arbitral proceedings are clear, pursuant to which we will consider recommencing the offering wherein the capital raised will be used to close the acquisition of SEPSA and finance the acquisition of additional international revenue producing oil and gas assets located in South America. To date, no proceeds have been accepted from this offering and therefore, we have no current payment burdens associated with the offering. When the legal issues surrounding SEPSA have been resolved or at a time when we are able to enter into a new business opportunity agreement that establish our rights to purchase a similar revenue producing asset base to that of SEPSA, we will consider reestablishing offering of the $65M Bonds. As of the date of this filing, we are reviewing the necessity of the Bonds in consideration of the recent ICC partial award rendering and will make a final decision shortly as whether to carry on the administrative functions underlying the Bonds.

On October 31, 2007, we entered into a letter of intent (the “LOI”) with Clear S.R.L. (“Clear”), of Comodoro Rivadavia, Argentina, whereby we were granted the exclusive right to purchase and develop up to 100% of Clear’s 186 square kilometre Cerro Negro concession, located in the Chubut Province, Golfo San Jorge Basin, Argentina (the “Concession”). Under the terms of the LOI, we have the right to purchase Cerro Negro for an agreed upon price, subject to the satisfactory outcome of due diligence performed by us related to Cerro Negro, which includes commercial, financial, geologic, geophysical and petroleum engineering analysis. Upon our satisfaction of the due diligence review performed by us and our agents as described, we retain the right to provide to Clear our binding offer to purchase Cerro Negro, the terms of which shall be memorialized through a mutually acceptable Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “PSA”) negotiated between us and Clear. Upon entering into the PSA, we will have a specified period of time pursuant to the terms of the PSA to complete the acquisition of Cerro Negro. Upon completion of the acquisition of Cerro Negro, if and when this occurs, we intend to commence drilling, development and expansion of Cerro Negro concession. We have completed our due diligence review over the Cerro Negro acquisition opportunity, and are at the final stages of negotiating the mutually acceptable PSA, which we anticipate to execute shortly. In connection with the LOI for the purchase and development of Clear’s Cerro Negro concession, our subsidiary Pluris BVI issued an US$840,000 convertible, non-retractable redeemable unsecured bond (the “CN Bond”) to Pluris BVI as security under the LOI. In the event that we do not perform under the LOI, ownership of the CN Bond can be transferred from Pluris BVI to Clear. At the date of this filing, we believe that our performance under the terms of the LOI as it relates to the CN Bond has been effectively undertaken and we further believe that pursuant to those undertakings being effectively administered by us according to the terms of the LOI, there are no matters there from that could result in our having to transfer ownership of the CN Bond to Clear. The CN Bond may be converted into common shares of our company at prices ranging from $3.25 per common share to $9.25 per common share. The CN Bond’s maturity date is September 30, 2011 and the interest rate is LIBOR plus 5%, with a floor of 10.5% and a ceiling of 13%. Interest under the CN bond can be converted into common shares of our company at our discretion. If we complete the acquisition of Cerro Negro as planned and/or continue to perform under the terms of the LOI, the CN Bond is to be returned to our treasury and cancelled.

The Company entered into an Assignment Agreement dated July 4, 2008 (the "Agreement") with Clear to purchase 75% of Clear’s operating exploration and exploitation rights in the Concession. In consideration of the assignment of rights in the Concession, the Company agreed to pay a total of $21,000,000 cash, payable in installments as set out in the Agreement and issue Clear an aggregate of 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock issuable in installments as set out in the Agreement. The Concession is valid for a term expiring on December 1, 2025 and is renewable for a five-year period.

Conditions for the Company and Clear (the “Parties”) of closing the agreement are as follows:

  i.

the Parties must obtain consent for the assignment of Clear's interest in the Concession from Petrominera Chubút S.E.;

     
  ii.

the Parties must undertake their best efforts to enter into a joint operating agreement to govern the



- 7 -

 

operations on the Concession pursuant to which Company or its nominee will be the operator on the property; and

     
  iii.

the Company must have obtained a bank guarantee, guaranteeing the installments owed under the Agreement.

The parties agreed to close the transaction no later than 150 days from the execution date (the "Closing Date") and the Company agreed to undertake its best efforts to close within 90 days of the execution date of the Agreement. In the event closing does not occur by the Closing Date, and the Parties have not extended the term of the agreement on a mutual basis, the Company may be liable under certain conditions of the Agreement for any interest accrued under the Agreement at an annual rate of 5.5% and must sign over a bond issued in the name of the Company in the amount of $840,000 as a guarantee of its obligations under the Agreement. If closing does not occur due to the inability to obtain the consent of Petrominera Chubut S.E. then the closing may take place 60 days following the expiration of the initial 150 day period.

As of the date of this filing, we have undergone substantial delays to the funding mandate related to the acquisition of the Cerro Negro concession due to the severity of the international economic and financial crisis. As a result, we have yet to raise the necessary capital to date to acquire the Concession as mandated by us with the assistance of Standard America’s and Standard Bank Plc (“Standard”), whereby Standard has been seeking an equity capital infusion of some $50 million on behalf of our company to complete the Cerro Negro acquisition and to commence operations there. As a result of the financial crisis, we have concluded that under the current market conditions only a 100% acquisition of the Cerro Negro concession is plausible. Therefore, we have undertaken extensive discussions with Clear to those ends where they currently await our proposal for our acquisition of a 100% interest in the Concession. We are currently reviewing several options related to structuring our proposal to Clear in this regard and anticipate that we will submit same to them shortly.

Aside from the Closing Date being delayed due to the circumstances as above noted, both parties to the Agreement have concluded that as of the date of this filing the Company continues to maintain ownership of the Bond. We can seek return to treasury of the Bond at any time when necessary. To date, we have not received timely approval from Petrominera Chubút SE of our company as incoming operator over the Concession.

On December 21, 2007, we entered into a letter of intent acquisition agreement (the “Agreement”) to acquire 100% of the shares of a Buenos Aires, Argentina based oil development and production company (the “BAO”). BAO controls leasehold interests primarily located in the Neuquén Basin, Rio Negro Province, Argentina. Under the terms of the Agreement, we had the right to purchase 100% of the shares of BAO at an agreed upon price (that we are contractually obliged to not disclose until completion of the acquisition of BAO occurs), subject to the satisfactory outcome of due diligence related to BAO performed by us, which includes corporate, commercial, financial, geologic, geophysical and petroleum engineering analysis. Upon our satisfaction of the due diligence review performed by us and our agents as above described, we agreed with BAO to negotiate and execute a mutually acceptable Share Purchase Agreement (the “BAO SPA”) among our company, BAO and the shareholders of BAO. As of the date of this filing, however, BAO has been unable to display its capacity to secure the necessary extensions over portions of its concession interests from the Argentine provincial authorities as they represented they would. We have therefore, ceased any further discussions with BAO or activities related to our ongoing interests in the acquisition of BAO.

United States

On September 10, 2007, we received a demand notice (the “Demand”) for the immediate payment of a Senior Secured Convertible Note (the “Note”) in the amount of $75,000 plus accrued interest. The Note carried a guaranteed security agreement (“GSA”) over the assets of one of our subsidiaries, Petrogen, Inc. (“Petrogen”) as collateral to the GSA. Due to the financial circumstances of Petrogen at the time of receipt of the Demand, the Note could not be repaid. After Petrogen’s default under the Note, the Note holder exercised its right to accept the collateral described in the GSA in full satisfaction of Petrogen’s obligation to the Note holder. The Note holder sent to Petrogen a properly authenticated proposal to accept Petrogen’s collateral in full satisfaction of the above described debt as required by the TEXAS BUSINESS & COMMERCE CODE, §9.620. On October 8, 2007 our company and Petrogen consented to the proposal, also required under the statute. The Note holder’s subsequent acceptance of the collateral in full satisfaction of the obligation it secures: (a) discharges Petrogen’s, obligation to


- 8 -

the extent consented to by Petrogen; (b) transfers to the secured party all of Petrogen’s rights in the collateral; (c) discharges the security interest lien over Petrogen; and (d) terminates any subordinate security interest or other subordinate liens over Petrogen by other third party creditors. The collateral is now the Note holder’s property. In this regard, Petrogen no longer owns any assets in the United States and any remaining financial obligations of Petrogen are subject to the conditions set forth under the TEXAS BUSINESS & COMMERCE CODE, §9.620 and §9.622. On April 8, 2008, Petrogen was wound-up and dissolved through filing for the dissolution with the Colorado Secretary of State.

We plan to develop our new mandate to acquire operated and non-operated oil and gas development opportunities through the acquisition of interests in international high profile regions, and specifically within South American regions of Argentina to build a strategic base of proven hydrocarbon reserves and fossil fuel production opportunities that represent outstanding growth possibilities for our shareholders over the immediate, near and long term.

Research and Development

No research and development expenditures have been incurred, either on our account or sponsored by customers, during the past three years.

Employees

As of May 15, 2009, we do not employ any persons on a full-time or on a part-time basis. Mr. Sacha Spindler, our Chief Executive Officer, and Mr. Sam Sen, our President, are primarily responsible for all of our day-to-day operations. Other services are provided by outsourcing and management contracts. As the need arises and funds become available, however, management may seek employees as necessary in our best interests.

Competition

We operate in a highly competitive industry, competing with major oil and gas companies, independent producers and institutional and individual investors, which are actively seeking oil and gas properties throughout the world together with the equipment, labor and materials required to operate properties. Most of our competitors have financial resources, staff and facilities substantially greater than ours. The principal area of competition is encountered in the financial ability to acquire good acreage positions and drill wells to explore for oil and gas, then, if warranted, drill production wells and install production equipment. Competition for the acquisition of oil and gas wells is intense with many oil and gas properties and or leases or concessions available in a competitive bidding process in which we may lack technological information or expertise available to other bidders. Therefore, we may not be successful in acquiring and developing profitable properties in the face of this competition. No assurance can be given that a sufficient number of suitable oil and gas wells will be available for acquisition and development.

Government Regulation

General

The production and sale of oil and gas are subject to various federal, state and local governmental regulations, which may be changed from time to time in response to economic or political conditions and can have a significant impact upon overall operations. Matters subject to regulation include discharge permits for drilling operations, drilling bonds, reports concerning operations, the spacing of wells, unitization and pooling of properties, taxation, abandonment and restoration and environmental protection. These laws and regulations are under constant review for amendment or expansion. From time to time, regulatory agencies have imposed price controls and limitations on production by restricting the rate of flow of oil and gas wells below actual production capacity in order to conserve supplies of oil and gas. Changes in these regulations could require us to expend significant resources to comply with new laws or regulations or changes to current requirements and could have a material adverse effect on us.

Oil and Gas Regulation

The governmental laws and regulations which could have a material impact on the oil and gas exploration and production industry are as follows:

Drilling and Production

Our operations are subject to various types of regulation at federal, state, local and Native American tribal levels. These types of regulation include requiring permits for the drilling of wells, drilling bonds and reports concerning operations. Most states, and some counties, municipalities and Native American tribes, in which we operate also regulate one or more of the following: (i) the location of wells; (ii) the method of drilling and casing wells; (iii) the rates of production or “allowables”; (iv) the surface use and restoration of properties upon which wells are drilled and other third parties; (v) the plugging and abandoning of wells; and (vi) notice to surface owners and other third parties.

State laws regulate the size and shape of drilling and spacing units or proration units governing the pooling of oil and natural gas properties. Some states allow forced pooling or integration of tracts to facilitate exploration while other states rely on voluntary pooling of lands and leases. In some instances, forced pooling or unitization may be implemented by third parties and may reduce our interest in the unitized properties. In addition, state conservation laws establish maximum rates of production from oil and natural gas wells, generally prohibit the venting or flaring of natural gas and impose requirements regarding the ratability of production. These laws and regulations may limit the amount of natural gas and oil we can produce from our wells or limit the number of wells or the locations at which we can drill. 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.

Natural Gas Sales Transportation

Historically, federal legislation and regulatory controls have affected the price of the natural gas we produce and the manner in which we market our production. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”) has jurisdiction over the transportation and sale for resale of natural gas in interstate commerce by natural gas companies under the Natural Gas Act of 1938 and the Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978.

FERC also regulates interstate natural gas transportation rates and service conditions, which affects the marketing of natural gas that we produce, as well as the revenues we receive for sales of our natural gas. Commencing in 1985, FERC promulgated a series of orders, regulations and rule makings that significantly fostered competition in the business of transporting and marketing gas. Today, interstate pipeline companies are required to provide nondiscriminatory transportation services to producers, marketers and other shippers, regardless of whether such shippers are affiliated with an interstate pipeline company. Under FERC’s current regulatory regime, transmission services must be provided on an open-access, non-discriminatory basis at cost-based rates or at market-based rates if the transportation market at issue is sufficiently competitive.

Mineral Act

The Mineral Leasing Act of 1920 (“Mineral Act”) prohibits direct or indirect ownership of any interest in federal onshore oil and gas leases by a foreign citizen of a country that denies “similar or like privileges” to citizens of the United States. Such restrictions on citizens of a “non-reciprocal” country include ownership or holding or controlling stock in a corporation that holds a federal onshore oil and gas lease. If this restriction is violated, the corporation's lease can be canceled in a proceeding instituted by the United States Attorney General. Although the regulations of the Bureau of Land Management (which administers the Mineral Act) provide for agency designations of non-reciprocal countries, there are presently no such designations in effect.

Environmental Regulation

Our activities will be subject to existing federal, state and local laws and regulations governing environmental quality and pollution control. Our operations will be subject to stringent environmental regulation by state and federal authorities including the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”). Such regulation can increase the cost of such activities. In most instances, the regulatory requirements relate to water and air pollution control measures.

Waste Disposal

The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (“RCRA”), and comparable state statutes, affect oil and gas exploration and production activities by imposing regulations on the generation, transportation, treatment, storage, disposal and cleanup of “hazardous wastes” and on the disposal of non-hazardous wastes. Under the auspices of the EPA, the individual states administer some or all of the provisions of RCRA, sometimes in conjunction with their own, more stringent requirements. Drilling fluids, produced waters, and most of the other wastes associated with the exploration, development, and production of crude oil, natural gas, or geothermal energy constitute “solid wastes”, which are regulated under the less stringent non-hazardous waste provisions, but there is no guarantee that the EPA or the individual states will not adopt more stringent requirements for the handling of non-hazardous wastes or categorize some non-hazardous wastes as hazardous for future regulation.

Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act

The federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA”) imposes joint and several liability for costs of investigation and remediation and for natural resource damages, without regard to fault or the legality of the original conduct, on certain classes of persons with respect to the release into the environment of substances designated under CERCLA as hazardous substances (“Hazardous Substances”). These classes of persons or potentially responsible parties include the current and certain past owners and operators of a facility or property where there is or has been a release or threat of release of a Hazardous Substance and persons who disposed of or arranged for the disposal of the Hazardous Substances found at such a facility. CERCLA also authorizes the EPA and, in some cases, third parties to take actions in response to threats to the public health or the environment and to seek to recover the costs of such action. Although CERCLA generally exempts petroleum from the definition of Hazardous Substances in the course operations, we may in the future generate wastes that fall within CERCLA's definition of Hazardous Substances. We may also in the future become an owner of facilities on which Hazardous Substances have been released by previous owners or operators. We may in the future be responsible under CERCLA for all or part of the costs to clean up facilities or property at which such substances have been released and for natural resource damages.

Air Emissions

Our operations are subject to local, state and federal regulations for the control of emissions of air pollution. Major sources of air pollutants are subject to more stringent, federally imposed permitting requirements. Administrative enforcement actions for failure to comply strictly with air pollution regulations or permits are generally resolved by payment of monetary fines and correction of any identified deficiencies. Alternatively, regulatory agencies could require us to forego construction, modification or operation of certain air emission sources.

Clean Water Act

The Clean Water Act (“CWA”) imposes restrictions and strict controls regarding the discharge of wastes, including produced waters and other oil and natural gas wastes, into waters of the United States, a term broadly defined. Permits must be obtained to discharge pollutants into federal waters. The CWA provides for civil, criminal and administrative penalties for unauthorized discharges of oil, hazardous substances and other pollutants. It imposes substantial potential liability for the costs of removal or remediation associated with discharges of oil or hazardous substances. State laws governing discharges to water also provide varying civil, criminal and administrative penalties and impose liabilities in the case of a discharge of petroleum or its derivatives, or other hazardous substances, into state waters. In addition, the EPA has promulgated regulations that may require us to obtain permits to discharge storm water runoff. In the event of an unauthorized discharge of wastes, we may be liable for penalties and costs.

We believe that we are in substantial compliance with current applicable environmental laws and regulations.

RISK FACTORS

Much of the information included in this annual report includes or is based upon estimates, projections or other “forward-looking statements”. Such forward-looking statements include any projections or estimates made by us and our management in connection with our business operations. While these forward-looking statements, and any assumptions upon which they are based, are made in good faith and reflect our current judgment regarding the direction of our business, actual results will almost always vary, sometimes materially, from any estimates, predictions, projections, assumptions, or other future performance suggested herein. We undertake no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of such statements.

Such estimates, projections or other “forward-looking statements” involve various risks and uncertainties as outlined below. We caution readers of this annual report that important factors in some cases have affected and, in the future, could materially affect actual results and cause actual results to differ materially from the results expressed in any such estimates, projections or other “forward-looking statements”. In evaluating us, our business and any investment in our business, readers should carefully consider the following factors.

Risks Related to Our Business

Our business is difficult to evaluate because we have a limited operating history.

In considering whether to invest in our common stock, you should consider that there is only limited historical financial and operating information available on which to base your evaluation of our performance. Our inception was November 15, 2001 and, as a result, we have a limited operating history.

We have a history of operating losses and there can be no assurances we will be profitable in the future. We have a history of operating losses, expect to continue to incur losses, and may never be profitable. Further, we have been dependent on sales of our equity securities and debt financing to meet our cash requirements. We have incurred losses from continuing operations totaling approximately $21,897,888 from inception to December 31, 2008 and incurred losses from discontinued operations totaling approximately $5,324,203 for the same period. As of December 31, 2008, we had an accumulated deficit of $27,222,091 and a working capital deficit of $2,315,961. Further, we do not expect positive cash flow from operations in the near term. There is no assurance that actual cash requirements will not exceed our estimates. In particular, additional capital may be required in the event that: (i) the costs to acquire additional leases are more than we currently anticipate; (ii) drilling and completion costs for additional wells increase beyond our expectations; or (iii) we encounter greater costs associated with general and administrative expenses or offering costs.

Our development of and participation in an increasingly larger number of oil and gas prospects have required and will continue to require substantial capital expenditures. The uncertainty and factors described throughout this section may impede our ability to economically find, develop, exploit, and acquire natural gas and oil reserves. As a result, we may not be able to achieve or sustain profitability or positive cash flows from operating activities in the future.

Our independent auditors report contains an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

We have received a going concern opinion from our independent auditor’s report. The independent auditor reports accompanying our December 31, 2008 and 2007 consolidated financial statements contains an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that our company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates that we will realize our assets and satisfy our liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on raising additional capital to fund our operations and ultimately on generating future profitable operations. There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient additional capital or eventually have positive cash flow from operations to address all of our cash flow needs. If we are not able to find alternative sources of cash or generate positive cash flow from operations, our business and shareholders will be materially and adversely affected.


- 12 -

We will require additional funding in the future.

We will require additional funding in the future. Based upon our historical losses from operations, we will require additional funding in the future. If we cannot obtain capital through financings or otherwise, our ability to execute our development plans and achieve production levels will be greatly limited. Our current development plans require us to make capital expenditures for the exploration and development of our oil and natural gas properties. Historically, we have funded our operations through the issuance of equity and short-term debt financing arrangements. We may not be able to obtain additional financing on favorable terms, if at all. Our future cash flows and the availability of financing will be subject to a number of variables, including potential production and the market prices of oil and natural gas. Further, debt financing could lead to a diversion of cash flow to satisfy debt-servicing obligations and create restrictions on business operations. If we are unable to raise additional funds, it would have a material adverse effect upon our operations.

Our acquisitions may not be successful.

Our acquisitions may not be successful. As part of our growth strategy, we intend to acquire additional oil and gas production properties. Such acquisitions may pose substantial risks to our business, financial condition, and results of operations. In pursuing acquisitions, we will compete with other companies, many of which have greater financial and other resources to acquire attractive properties. Even if we are successful in acquiring additional properties, some of the properties may not produce revenues at anticipated levels or failure to conduct drilling on prospects within specified time periods may cause the forfeiture of the lease in that prospect. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully integrate acquired properties, which could result in substantial costs and delays or other operational, technical, or financial problems. Further, acquisitions could disrupt ongoing business operations. If any of these events occur, it would have a material adverse effect upon our operations and results from operations.

The existence of material weaknesses/ineffective internal control

We have identified the existence of significant deficiencies constituting material weaknesses, which are described in greater detail in Item 9A below. A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports, our business and operating results could be harmed.

Our exploratory and development drilling and production operations may not be successful.

Our exploratory and development drilling and production operations may not be successful. There can be no assurance that our future drilling activities will be successful, and we cannot be sure that our overall drilling success rate or our production operations within a particular area will not decline. We may not recover all or any portion of our capital investment in the wells or the underlying leaseholds. Unsuccessful drilling activities would have a material adverse effect upon our results of operations and financial condition. The cost of drilling, completing, and operating wells is often uncertain, and a number of factors can delay or prevent drilling operations including: (i) unexpected drilling conditions; (ii) pressure or irregularities in formation; (iii) equipment failures or accidents; (iv) adverse weather conditions; and (iv) shortages or delays in availability of drilling rigs and delivery of equipment.

Further, coal beds from which gas is produced may frequently contain water, which may hamper any production of gas in commercial quantities. The amount of gas that can be commercially produced depends upon the coal quality, the original gas content of the coal seam, the thickness of the seam, the reservoir pressure, the rate at which gas is released from the coal, and the existence of any natural fractures through which the gas can flow to the well bore. However, coal beds frequently contain water that must be removed in order for the gas to detach from the coal and flow to the well bore. The average life of a coal bed well is only five to six years. Ability to remove and dispose of sufficient quantities of water from the coal seam will determine whether or not production of gas can occur in commercial quantities.


- 13 -

There is no guarantee that the potential drilling locations that we have or acquire in the future will ever produce oil or natural gas, which could have a material adverse effect upon our results of operations.

A decline in the price of our common stock could affect our ability to raise further working capital and adversely impact our operations.

A decline in the price of our common stock could affect our ability to raise further working capital and adversely impact our operations. A decline in the price of our common stock could result in a reduction in the liquidity of our common stock and a reduction in our ability to raise additional capital for our operations. Because our operations to date have been principally financed through the sale of equity securities, a decline in the price of our common stock could have an adverse effect upon our liquidity and our continued operations. A reduction in our ability to raise equity capital in the future would have a material adverse effect upon our business plan and operations, including our ability to continue our current operations. If our stock price declines, we may not be able to raise additional capital or generate funds from operations sufficient to meet our obligations.

We are a new entrant into the oil and gas industry.

We are a new entrant into the oil and gas industry without a profitable operating history. Since November 15, 2001 (inception), our activities have been limited to organizational efforts, obtaining working capital and acquiring and developing a very limited number of properties. As a result, there is limited information regarding production or revenue generation. As a result, our future revenues may be limited.

As of the date of this annual report, our future development focus is towards acquiring non-operated and operated working interests in international producing oil and gas fields in the South American region of Argentina. These prospects are still in the development stage, and estimates made at this time as to proved or probable oil and natural gas reserves cannot be guaranteed that sufficient reserves will be maintained or new reserves discovered for production. The absence of reporting a sustained production history provides risk regarding independent reserve estimates. Property lease positions in other locations that have been acquired by us are unproven, having little to no production, which prevents us from assigning any proved or probable reserves to these other properties.

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

Prospects that we decide to drill may not yield natural gas or oil in commercially viable quantities. Our prospects are in various stages of evaluation, ranging from prospects that are ready to drill to prospects that will require substantial additional seismic data processing and interpretation. However, 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 and testing whether natural gas or oil will be present or, if present, whether natural gas or oil will be present in sufficient quantities to recover drilling or completion costs or to be economically viable. If we drill wells that we identify as dry holes in our current and future prospects, our drilling success rate may decline and materially harm our business. In sum, the cost of drilling, completing and operating any wells is often uncertain and new wells may not be productive.

We are substantially dependent upon our acquisition plans related to hydrocarbon interests in Argentina.

We are substantially dependent upon our acquisition plans related to hydrocarbon interests in Argentina, which causes our risk to be concentrated. As a result, we may be disproportionately exposed to the impact of delays or interruptions of production from these wells caused by significant governmental regulation, transportation capacity constraints, curtailment of production or interruption of transportation of natural gas produced from the wells.

Properties that we acquire may not produce as projected.

Properties that we buy may not produce as projected and we may be unable to determine reserve potential, identify liabilities associated with the properties or obtain protection from sellers against them. One of our growth strategies is to capitalize on opportunistic acquisitions of oil and natural gas reserves. However, our reviews of acquired properties are inherently incomplete because it generally is not feasible to review in depth every individual property


- 14 -

involved in each acquisition. A detailed review of records and properties may not necessarily reveal existing or potential problems, nor will it permit a buyer to become sufficiently familiar with the properties to assess fully their deficiencies and potential. Further, environmental problems, such as ground water contamination, are not necessarily observable even when an inspection is undertaken. Acquiring properties with liabilities would have a material adverse effect upon our results of operations.

The potential profitability of oil and gas ventures depends upon factors beyond our control.

The potential profitability of oil and gas ventures depends upon factors beyond our control. The potential profitability of oil and gas properties is dependent upon many factors beyond our control. For instance, world prices and markets for oil and gas are unpredictable, highly volatile, potentially subject to governmental fixing, pegging, controls, or any combination of these and other factors, and respond to changes in domestic, international, political, social, and economic environments. Additionally, due to worldwide economic uncertainty, the availability and cost of funds for production and other expenses have become increasingly difficult, if not impossible, to project. These and other changes and events may materially affect our financial performance.

Adverse weather conditions can also hinder drilling operations. A productive well may become uneconomic in the event water or other deleterious substances are encountered which impair or prevent the production of oil and/or gas from the well. In addition, production from any well may be unmarketable if it is impregnated with water or other deleterious substances. The marketability of oil and gas, which may be acquired or discovered will be affected by numerous factors beyond our control. These factors include, but are not limited to, the proximity and capacity of oil and gas pipelines and processing equipment, market fluctuations of prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, allowable production and environmental protection. These factors cannot be accurately predicted and the combination of these factors may result in us not receiving an adequate return on our invested capital.

We are dependent upon transportation and storage services provided by a third party.

We are and will continue to be dependent upon transportation and storage services provided by third parties. We will be dependent on the transportation and storage services offered by various interstate and intrastate pipeline companies for the delivery and sale of our oil and gas supplies. Both the performance of transportation and storage services by interstate pipelines and the rates charged for such services are subject to the jurisdiction of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission or state regulatory agencies. An inability to obtain transportation and/or storage services at competitive rates could hinder our processing and marketing operations and/or affect our sales margins.

Our results of operation are dependent upon market prices.

Our results of operations are dependent upon market prices for oil and natural gas, which fluctuate widely and are beyond our control. Our revenue, profitability, and cash flow depend upon the prices and demand for oil and natural gas. The markets for these commodities are very volatile and even relatively modest drops in prices can significantly affect our financial results and impede our growth. Prices received also will affect the amount of future cash flow available for capital expenditures and may affect our ability to raise additional capital. Lower prices may also affect the amount of natural gas and oil that can be economically produced from reserves either discovered or acquired.

Factors that can cause price fluctuations include: (i) the level of consumer product demand; (ii) weather conditions; (iii) domestic and foreign governmental regulations; (iv) the price and availability of alternative fuels; (v) technical advances affecting energy consumption; (vi) proximity and capacity of oil and gas pipelines and other transportation facilities; (vii) political conditions in natural gas and oil producing regions; (viii) the domestic and foreign supply of natural gas and oil; (ix) the ability of members of Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries to agree to and maintain oil price and production controls; (x) the price of foreign imports; and (xi) overall domestic and global economic conditions.

The availability of a ready market for our oil and gas depends upon numerous factors beyond our control.

The availability of a ready market for our oil and gas depends upon numerous factors beyond our control, including the extent of domestic production and importation of oil and gas, the relative status of the domestic and international


- 15 -

economies, the proximity of our properties to gas gathering systems, the capacity of those systems, the marketing of other competitive fuels, fluctuations in seasonal demand and governmental regulation of production, refining, transportation and pricing of oil, natural gas and other fuels.

The oil and gas industry involves many operating risks that can cause substantial losses.

The oil and gas industry in which we operate involves many operating risks that can cause substantial losses. Our drilling activities are subject to many risks, including the risk that we will not discover commercially productive reservoirs. Drilling for oil and natural gas can be unprofitable, not only from dry holes, but from productive wells that do not produce sufficient revenues to return a profit. In addition, our drilling and producing operations may be curtailed, delayed or canceled as a result of other factors, including: (i) fires; (ii) explosions; (iii) blow-outs and surface cratering; (iv) uncontrollable flows of underground natural gas, oil, or formation water; (v) natural disasters; (vi) facility and equipment failures; (vii) title problems; (viii) shortages or delivery delays of equipment and services; (ix) abnormal pressure formations; and (x) environmental hazards such as natural gas leaks, oil spills, pipeline ruptures and discharges of toxic gases.

If any of these events occur, we could incur substantial losses as a result of: (i) injury or loss of life; (ii) severe damage to and destruction of property, natural resources or equipment; (iii) pollution and other environmental damage; (iv) clean-up responsibilities; (v) regulatory investigation and penalties; (vi) suspension of our operations; or (vii) repairs necessary to resume operations. If we were to experience any of these problems, it could affect well bores, gathering systems and processing facilities, any one of which could adversely affect our ability to conduct operations. We may be affected by any of these events more than larger companies, since we have limited working capital. We currently do not maintain liability insurance on bodily injury, which would include coverage for pollution, environmental damage and chemical spills. For other risks, we may further elect not to obtain insurance if we believe 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 covered by insurance, it could adversely affect operations. Moreover, even if we obtained insurance in the future, we cannot provide assurance that we would be able to maintain adequate insurance at rates considered reasonable.

The oil and gas industry is highly competitive.

The oil and gas industry is highly competitive and there is no assurance that we will be successful in acquiring the leases. The oil and natural gas industry is intensely competitive, and we compete with other companies that have greater resources. Many of these companies not only explore for and produce oil and natural gas, but also carry on refining operations and market petroleum and other products on a regional, national or worldwide basis. These companies may be able to pay more for productive oil and natural gas properties and exploratory prospects or define, evaluate, bid for and purchase a greater number of properties and prospects than our financial or human resources permit. In addition, these companies may have a greater ability to continue exploration activities during periods of low oil and natural gas market prices. Our larger competitors may be able to absorb the burden of present and future federal, state, local and other laws and regulations more easily than we can, which would adversely affect our competitive position. Our ability to acquire additional properties and to discover reserves in the future will be dependent upon our ability to evaluate and select suitable properties and to consummate transactions in a highly competitive environment. In addition, because we have fewer financial and human resources than many companies in our industry, we may be at a disadvantage in bidding for exploratory prospects and producing oil and natural gas properties.

There can be no assurance we will be able to obtain drilling equipment.

There can be no assurance we will be able to obtain drilling equipment to meet our drilling requirements. We may experience delays in obtaining drilling rigs due to the high drilling demand in the areas where we have been concentrating our oil and gas targeted production and leasing programs. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain the requisite drilling equipment to meet our planned drilling initiatives according to our timetable. In the event that we are unable to obtain drilling equipment to conduct our exploration operations, it could have a material adverse effect upon our business and our results of operations.


- 16 -

The marketability of natural resources will be affected by numerous factors.

The marketability of natural resources will be affected by numerous factors beyond our control which may result in us not receiving an adequate return on invested capital to be profitable or viable. The marketability of natural resources which may be acquired or discovered by us will be affected by numerous factors beyond our control. These factors include market fluctuations in oil and gas pricing and demand, the proximity and capacity of natural resource markets and processing equipment, governmental regulations, land tenure, land use, regulation concerning the importing and exporting of oil and gas and environmental protection regulations. The exact effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted, but the combination of these factors may result in us not receiving an adequate return on invested capital to be profitable or viable.

Oil and gas operations are subject to comprehensive regulation.

Oil and gas operations are subject to comprehensive regulation which may cause substantial delays or require capital outlays in excess of those anticipated causing an adverse effect on us. Oil and gas operations are subject to federal, state, and local laws relating to the protection of the environment, including laws regulating removal of natural resources from the ground and the discharge of materials into the environment. Oil and gas operations are also subject to federal, state, and local laws and regulations which seek to maintain health and safety standards by regulating the design and use of drilling methods and equipment. Various permits from government bodies are required for drilling operations to be conducted; no assurance can be given that such permits will be received. Environmental standards imposed by federal, provincial, or local authorities may be changed and any such changes may have material adverse effects on our activities. Moreover, compliance with such laws may cause substantial delays or require capital outlays in excess of those anticipated, thus causing an adverse effect on us. Additionally, we may be subject to liability for pollution or other environmental damages which we may elect not to insure against due to prohibitive premium costs and other reasons. To date we have not been required to spend material amounts on compliance with environmental regulations. However, we may be required to do so in the future and this may affect our ability to expand or maintain our operations.

Exploration and production activities are subject to environmental regulations.

Exploration and production activities are subject to certain environmental regulations which may prevent or delay the commencement or continuance of our operations. In general, our exploration and production activities are subject to certain federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to environmental quality and pollution control. Such laws and regulations increase the costs of these activities and may prevent or delay the commencement or continuance of a given operation. Compliance with these laws and regulations has not had a material effect on our operations or financial condition to date. Specifically, we are subject to legislation regarding emissions into the environment, water discharges and storage and disposition of hazardous wastes. In addition, legislation has been enacted which requires well and facility sites to be abandoned and reclaimed to the satisfaction of state authorities. However, such laws and regulations are frequently changed and we are unable to predict the ultimate cost of compliance. Generally, environmental requirements do not appear to affect us any differently or to any greater or lesser extent than other companies in the industry.

We believe that our operations comply in all material respects with all applicable environmental regulations. However, we are not insured against all possible environmental risks.

Any change to government regulation/administrative practices may have a negative impact on our ability to operate and our profitability.

Any change to government regulation/administrative practices may have a negative impact on our ability to operate and our profitability. The laws, regulations, policies or current administrative practices of any government body, organization or regulatory agency in the United States or any other jurisdiction, may be changed, applied or interpreted in a manner which will fundamentally alter our ability to carry on business. The actions, policies or regulations, or changes thereto, of any government body or regulatory agency, or other special interest groups, may have a detrimental effect on us. Any or all of these situations may have a negative impact on our ability to operate and/or our profitably.


- 17 -

We may be unable to retain key employees or consultants.

We may be unable to retain key employees or consultants or recruit additional qualified personnel. Our extremely limited personnel means that we would be required to spend significant sums of money to locate and train new employees in the event any of our employees resign or terminate their employment with us for any reason. Due to our limited operating history and financial resources, we are entirely dependent on the continued service of Mr. Sacha Spindler, our Chief Executive Officer, and Mr. Sam Sen, our President. Further, we do not have key man life insurance on either of these individuals. We may not have the financial resources to hire a replacement if one or both of our officers were to die. The loss of service of either of these employees could therefore significantly and adversely affect our operations.

Certain of our officers and directors each devote over 50% of their working time to other business endeavors.

Our officers and directors may be subject to conflicts of interest. Certain of our officers and directors serve only part time and are subject to conflicts of interest. Certain of these officers and directors each devote part of his working time to other business endeavors. These business endeavors as well as other business opportunities should be presented to the company. Such conflicts include deciding how much time to devote to our affairs, as well as what business opportunities should be presented to the company. Because of these relationships, our officers and directors may be subject to conflicts of interest.

Risks Related to our Common Stock

Sales of a substantial number of share or our common stock into the public market may result in significant downward pressure on the price of our common stock.

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock into the public market by certain stockholders may result in significant downward pressure on the price of our common stock and could affect your ability to realize the current trading price of our common stock. Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market by certain stockholders could cause a reduction in the market price of our common stock. As of May 15, 2009, we have 39,009,045 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. There are 22,987,687 outstanding shares of our common stock that are restricted securities as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act. Although the Securities Act and Rule 144 place certain prohibitions on the sale of restricted securities, restricted securities may be sold into the public market under certain conditions. Further, as of December 31, 2008, there are an aggregate of 3,382,000 stock options and 4,938,152 warrants outstanding.

Any significant downward pressure on the price of our common stock as certain stockholders sell their shares of our common stock could encourage short sales by the selling stockholders or others. Any such short sales could place further downward pressure on the price of our common stock.

The trading price of our common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board has been and may continue to fluctuate significantly.

The trading price of our common sock on the OTC Bulletin Board has been and may continue to fluctuate significantly and stockholders may have difficulty reselling their shares. During fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, our common stock has traded as low as $0.06 and as high as $1.24. In addition to volatility associated with OTC Bulletin Board securities in general, the value of your investment could decline due to the impact of any of the following factors upon the market price of our common stock: (i) changes in the world wide price for oil or natural gas; (ii) disappointing results from our discovery or development efforts; (iii) failure to meet our revenue or profit goals or operating budget; (iv) decline in demand for our common stock; (v) downward revisions in securities analysts' estimates or changes in general market conditions; (vi) technological innovations by competitors or in competing technologies; (vii) lack of funding generated for operations; (viii) investor perception of our industry or our prospects; and (ix) general economic trends.

In addition, stock markets have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations and the market prices of securities have been highly volatile. These fluctuations are often unrelated to operating performance and may


- 18 -

adversely affect the market price of our common stock. As a result, investors may be unable to sell their shares at a fair price and you may lose all or part of your investment.

Our stock is a penny stock. Trading of our stock may be restricted by the SEC’s penny stock regulations which may limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.

Our stock is a penny stock. The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which generally defines “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors”. The term “accredited investor” refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer’s confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of our common stock.

The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, has adopted sales practice requirements which may also limit a stockholder's ability to buy and sell our stock.

In addition to the “penny stock” rules described above, FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer's financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.

Additional issuances of equity securities may result in dilution to our existing shareholders.

Additional issuances of equity securities may result in dilution to our existing stockholders. Our Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of 250,000,000 shares of common stock and 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The board of directors has the authority to issue additional shares of our capital stock to provide additional financing in the future and the issuance of any such shares may result in a reduction of the book value or market price of the outstanding shares of our common stock. If we do issue any such additional shares, such issuance also will cause a reduction in the proportionate ownership and voting power of all other stockholders. As a result of such dilution, if you acquire shares of our common stock, your proportionate ownership interest and voting power could be decreased. Further, any such issuances could result in a change of control.

As of March 6, 2006, our board of directors authorized and approved the adoption of Performance Stock Incentive Plan (the “Performance Stock Incentive Plan”), pursuant to which an aggregate of 6,000,000 restricted shares of our common stock will be issued to certain officers, directors and consultants. The 6,000,000 restricted shares of common stock are subject to an escrow and can be acquired by the respective individual upon achievement by us of

certain milestones. See “Item 5. Market for Common Equity and Related Stockholders Matters” and “Item 10. Executive Compensation.”

Other Risks

Nevada law and our Articles of Incorporation may protect our directors from certain types of lawsuits.

Nevada law and our Articles of Incorporation may protect our directors from certain types of lawsuits. Nevada law provides that our officers and directors will not be liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for all but certain types of conduct as officers and directors. Our Bylaws permit us broad indemnification powers to all persons against all damages incurred in connection with our business to the fullest extent provided or allowed by law. The exculpation provisions may have the effect of preventing stockholders from recovering damages against our officers and directors caused by their negligence, poor judgment or other circumstances. The indemnification provisions may require us to use our limited assets to defend our officers and directors against claims, including claims arising out of their negligence, poor judgment, or other circumstances.

Because some of our officers and directors are located in non-U.S. jurisdictions, you may have no effective recourse against the non U.S. officers and directors for misconduct and may not be able to enforce judgement and civil liabilities against our officers, directors, experts and agents.

Some of our directors and officers are nationals and/or residents of countries other than the United States, specifically Canada, and all or a substantial portion of such persons’ assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to enforce within the United States any judgments obtained against our officers or directors, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state thereof.

Item 2.          Description of Property.

Our principal executive office is located at Suite 2703 – 550 Pacific Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V6Z 3G2; our telephone number is 604.607.1677. Our office consists of 1,250 square feet and is rented on a month-to-month basis at a cost of CAD $2,800 per month. We believe that our office space and facilities are sufficient to meet our present needs and do not anticipate any difficulty securing alternative or additional space, as needed, on terms acceptable to us.

Item 3.          Legal Proceedings.

Other than set out below, we know of no material, active or pending legal proceedings against our company, nor are we involved as a plaintiff in any material proceeding or pending litigation. There are no proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates, or any registered or beneficial shareholder, is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to our interest.

On April 30, 2007, we commenced an arbitral action against SEPSA through the ICC requesting the ICC to enforce SEPSA’s obligations under the terms agreed upon in the SPA and to sell to our company 100% of the shares of SEPSA and to award damages incurred by us related to our out of pocket expenses, loss of business opportunity and loss of revenue. SEPSA subsequently filed a counter claim with the ICC seeking awards for legal fees and translation costs related to this dispute.

The Company agreed to attend a formal hearing before the ICC tribunal during May 2008, where certain officers and representatives of the Company were interviewed by the ICC tribunal and the Company was able to comment to the ICC tribunal about the Company’s position related to the unresolved matters between the Company and SEPSA. Subsequent to the hearings, the ICC requested the Company to submit to the ICC, its closing arguments related to the arbitration within a specified period of time. The Company has claimed damages in the form of loss of revenue from July 1, 2006 through to the current date; loss of business opportunity related to increases to the values of assets owned and/or controlled by SEPSA and loss of-out-of-pocket expenses from the inception of the Company’s efforts to win the bid and complete the acquisition of SEPSA. SEPSA has filed a counter-claim for recovery of legal


- 20 -

expenses and translation fees incurred to date related to the dispute between it and the Company. There is no determination as to the length of time necessary for the ICC to make any final renderings pursuant to the arbitral proceedings between the Company and SEPSA and whether or not any awards for damages will be made by the ICC and, further; there is no determination as to what the outcome of any potential final determinations made be the ICC related to damages awards may be.

In January 2009, the Company received a partial award from the ICC as the result of the binding arbitration action for an initial damages claim estimate, which was submitted to the ICC in the amount of US$46.4 million. The rendering by the ICC binding the parties to the award determines the SPA entered into between the Company and SEPSA on August 18, 2006 is terminated retroactively to October 31, 2006. It further determines that the SPA's early termination was seventy percent (70%) the responsibility of SEPSA and thirty percent (30%) the responsibility of the Company. The Company will support its final damages submission to the ICC through third party valuations evidencing the substantiation of the overall damages suffered by the Company as a result of it losing the business opportunity related to its planned acquisition of SEPSA. The ICC has informed the Company and SEPSA the final damages award rendering will be made in the second quarter 2009.

We operate in the field of oil and gas exploration and are therefore subject to state and federal environmental regulations. Due to the diversity of these regulations compliance at all times cannot be assured.

Item 7.          Management Discussion and Analysis and Results of Operation.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes for the year ended December 31, 2008 and the factors that could affect our future financial condition and results of operations. Historical results may not be indicative of future performance.


- 22 -

The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the 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, particularly in the section entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 11 of this annual report.

RESULTS OF OPERATION

Following a period of poor financial performance and continued losses on our United States oil and gas operations, during the forth quarter of 2007 we commenced a process to sell our United States oil and gas properties in 2007 and continued to focus our efforts on our oil & gas assets in Argentina. The results of discontinuing operations on the United States properties have been classified as a loss from discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations. The consolidated statements of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 and from November 15, 2001 (inception) to December 31, 2008 for operating activities and investing activities have been separated between continuing and discontinued operations. Certain figures in the consolidated statements of cash flows from November 15, 2001 (inception) to December 31, 2008 have been reclassified for purposes of comparability.

For the years ended December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007

Our losses from operations for the year ended December 31, 2008 were approximately $4,754,071 compared to $6,447,022 for the year ended December 31, 2007 (a decrease of $1,692,951 or 26%) due largely to a lower stock based compensation charge in 2008. The operating expenses of $4,754,071 (2007: $6,447,022) consists of $5,083 in depreciation, $417,676 in general and administrative, $3,418,881 in management and consulting fees, of which $1,795,366 was stock based compensation, and $912,431 in professional fees.

General and administrative expenses decreased by $343,262 (45%) for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2007 due to the decreased level of activity in 2008 and other costs relating to administrating Petrogen, an entity discontinued in 2007. General and administrative expenses generally include corporate overhead, financial and administrative contractual services, marketing and consulting costs. Management and consulting fees decreased by $1,719,575 (33%) as a result of a decrease in stock based compensation related to management, which decreased by $2,281,190 (57%) due to a decrease in the number of stock options and stock appreciation rights granted in 2008. Professional fees increased by $400,044 (78%) due to the legal dispute on the San Enrique acquisition.

For the year ended December 31, 2008, we incurred other expenses of approximately $458,738 compared to other expenses of $189,112 incurred for the year ended December 31, 2007 (an increase of $269,626 or 142%). The other expenses incurred for the year ended December 31, 2008 consisted of: (i) $380,744 (2007: $nil) in debt extinguishment; and (ii) $77,994 (2007: $129,112) in interest expense, net of interest income. The loss from operations combined with other expenses resulted in a loss from continuing operations before taxes of $5,212,809 (2007: $6,636,134). A tax recovery due to an intraperiod allocation between discontinued operations and continuing operation of $197,186 (2007: $nil) was recorded resulting in a loss from continuing operations after taxes of $5,015,623 (2007: $6,636,134)

For the year ended December 31, 2008, we incurred a gain from discontinued operations of approximately $563,388, ($366,202 net of tax of $197,186) compared to expenses from discontinued operations of $869,093 incurred for the year ended December 31, 2007 (a decrease of $1,235,295 or 142%). The results of oil and gas operations for the year ended December 31, 2008 consisted of: (i) $nil (2007: $23,012) in gas sales; (ii) $nil (2007: $165) in depletion; (iii) $nil (2007: $44,371) in lease operating expenses; (iv) $nil (2007: $808,487) from the impairment of oil and gas properties;(v) $nil (2007: $39,082) in general and administrative expenses; and (vi) $366,202 (2007:$nil) gain after tax on dissolution of United States subsidiary, resulting in a net gain (loss) of $366,202 (2007: $(869,093)).

MATERIAL COMMITMENTS

In 2007, we entered into five five-year-term management consulting agreements. Of the five, three were with directors and/or officers of our Company, or their private companies. The agreements provide for remuneration on a monthly basis totalling $66,000. We have the right in all of the five consulting agreements to terminate the agreements without cause by providing 30 days written notice. Upon termination of our agreement with GT Venture Management AG (“GTV”), we are required to pay a severance of 24 months of monthly fees within 10 business days of the termination date plus an additional severance cash payment equating to the value of 5% of the Gross Market Capital Increase in our Company from January 1, 2007 until the date of the termination of this agreement. Upon termination of our agreement with Landmark Management Services SA (“LMS”), we are required to pay a severance of 6 months of monthly fees within 10 business days of the termination date. In addition to the equity awards agreed upon by us under the Equity Incentive Plan between GTV and LMS, we are required to accrue sums equivalent to the gross tax payable by reason of receipts of those equity awards granted and exercised under those material commitments to GTV and LMS. Of these five agreements entered into by the Company, two have terminated; the remaining three agreements provide for the granting of a total of 16,700,000 stock options and 16,700,000 stock appreciation rights, in aggregate, over the five year terms of the agreements. As of December 31,

The agreement provides for a signing bonus of $20,000, the issuance of 100,000 shares of unrestricted common stock and a monthly remuneration of $10,000.

In connection with the oil and gas exploration, development and production expenses and other overhead costs incurred, we and/or our subsidiary incurred liability or borrowed funds pursuant to various contractual arrangements representing the following material commitments.

Effective April 28, 2006 we entered into three convertible loan agreements which were secured by the assets of our subsidiary Petrogen. The loans bear interest at LIBOR plus 5% per annum, and interest is payable each quarter commencing six months after the first receipt of funds. The first note of $275,000 was due on April 1, 2007, and was converted into 1,375,000 common shares on May 7, 2007. The second note of $275,000 was due on June 13, 2007, and converted into 1,375,000 common shares on June 25, 2007. The remaining note of $285,000 was due one year after receipt of funds, being September 7, 2007. On March 14, 2007, $134,750 was repaid in cash and on September 26, 2007, $75,000 was converted into 375,000 common shares, leaving a balance of $75,250 plus $3,867 in accrued interest.

On September 10, 2007, we received a demand notice (the “Demand”) for the immediate payment of the Note in the amount of $75,250 plus $3,867 of accrued interest. The Note carried a guaranteed security agreement (“GSA”) over the assets of Petrogen as collateral to the GSA. Petrogen defaulted under the Note, whereby the Note holder exercised its right to accept the collateral described in the GSA in full satisfaction of Petrogen’s obligation under the Note. The Note holder sent to Petrogen a properly authenticated proposal to accept Petrogen’s collateral in full satisfaction of the above described debt as required by the TEXAS BUSINESS & COMMERCE CODE, §9.620. On October 8, 2007 our company and Petrogen consented to the proposal. The Note holder’s subsequent acceptance of the collateral in full satisfaction of the obligation it secures: (a) discharges Petrogen’s, obligation to the extent consented to by Petrogen.; (b) transfers to the secured party all of Petrogen’s rights in the collateral; (c) discharges the security interest lien over Petrogen; and (d) terminates any subordinate security interest or other subordinate liens over Petrogen by other third party creditors, as described under TEXAS BUSINESS & COMMERCE CODE §9.622. On April 8, 2008, Petrogen was wound-up and dissolved through filing for dissolution with the Colorado Secretary of State..

During the year ended December 31, 2007, we issued ten promissory notes totalling $420,000 which are unsecured and due on demand. These notes bear a fixed interest charge of $52,500 for a total owing of $472,500. During the first quarter of 2007, we repaid three promissory notes totalling $65,000 plus fixed interest charges of $8,125. As of December 31, 2007, seven promissory notes totalling $355,000 plus fixed interest charges of $44,375 remain outstanding, the aggregate of the notes and fixed interest charges total $399,375.

During 2008, we issued an additional seven promissory notes for $681,500 with the same terms as the previous notes, accrued $85,188 interest on those notes, and then amended six of the promissory notes totalling $579,375 including accrued interest of $64,375 to include conversion terms. As at December 31, 2008 we have notes payable outstanding totaling $197,313 including accrued interest of $21,924 (December 31, 2007: $399,375 including accrued interest of $44,375) which are unsecured, due on demand, and bear interest at 12.5% per annum.

On July 30, 2008, we entered into a private placement agreement with GTV for 1,557,500 units at $0.25 per unit for total proceeds of $389,375, with each unit consisting of one common share and one common share purchase warrant, with each common share purchase warrant exercisable at $0.50 per common share for a period of 2 years from the date of issuance. We entered the private placement agreement in settlement of $389,375 notes payable to a


- 26 -

company which Sacha H. Spindler is able to exercise significant influence over and assigned the notes payable to GTV.

On March 28, 2008, we entered into an Amendment Agreement pursuant to certain promissory notes (the “Promissory Note Amendment Agreement”) whereby terms of those promissory notes issued by us totalling $515,000 plus interest of $64,375 committed by us during 2007 and 2008 were amended providing for conversion into units (the “Units”) of our Company for all of or portions of the principle and interest accrued under those promissory notes at the time of conversion, whereby conversion of such accruals would be convertible for the Units, those Units of which are comprised of one common share of our Company priced at $.35 and one common share purchase warrant, each warrant of which is exercisable commencing 90 days subsequent to the conversion of accruals under those promissory notes for two years from the date of conversion at an exercise price of $.70 per exercised warrant share.

On March 31, 2008, a total of $466,875 (interest of $51,875) of promissory notes described under the Promissory Note Amendment Agreement were converted into 1,333,928 units of our Company, wherein we issued 1,333,928 common shares of our Company at a rate of $.35 per common share, the holders thereof which retain the right commencing 90 days from the date of the conversion to exercise up to 1,333,928 common share purchase warrants of our Company at a rate of $.70 per exercised warrant share for a period of two years subsequent to the date of conversion; March 30, 2010. As at December 31, 2008, a total of $112,500 (including accrued interest of $12,500) of convertible notes were outstanding and due on February 7, 2009. As at May 15, 2009, we have negotiated with the lender, a 6-month extension on the maturity date of the promissory notes, which are now due on August 7, 2009.

Cash Requirements

Over the next twelve months we intend to acquire oil and gas properties in Argentina, assuming that we can obtain equity, debt or other financing. We anticipate that we will incur the following costs and operating expenses over the next twelve months, excluding the acquisition costs related to the our acquisition of San Enrique Petrolera S.A., as follows:

Estimated Funding Required During the Next Twelve Months
Expenses Amount
Management fees $1,400,000
Oil & gas exploration expenses and holding costs 36,000,000
Professional fees 950,000
Investor relations & sales related 960,000
Rent, utilities and insurance 200,000
Other general administrative expenses 400,000
Current liabilities 2,400,000
Total $42,310,000

We will require additional funds to implement our growth strategy in exploration operations. These funds may be raised through equity financing, debt financing, or other sources, which may result in further dilution in the equity ownership of our shares. There is still no assurance that we will be able to maintain operations at a level sufficient for an investor to obtain a return on his investment in our common stock. Further, we may continue to be unprofitable.

Going Concern

Due to our being an exploration stage company and not having generated revenues, in their Notes to our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008, our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph regarding concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern.

As at December 31, 2008, the Company has a working capital deficiency of $2,365,710 and we have historically incurred losses, and through December 31, 2008 have incurred losses of $27,172,341 from our inception. Because of


- 27 -

these historical losses, we will require additional working capital to develop our business operations. We intend to raise additional working capital through private placements, public offerings, bank financing and/or advances from related parties or shareholder loans.

The continuation of our business is dependent upon obtaining further financing and achieving a break even or profitable level of operations. The issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current or future stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.

There are no assurances that we will be able to either: (1) achieve a level of revenues adequate to generate sufficient cash flow from operations; or (2) obtain additional financing through either private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing necessary to support our working capital requirements. To the extent that funds generated from operations and any private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing are insufficient, we will have to raise additional working capital. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available, or if available, will be on terms acceptable to us. If adequate working capital is not available we may not increase our operations.

These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

There are no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements have been presented in United States dollars and prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“US GAAP”).

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our company and our formerly wholly-owned subsidiary, Petrogen wholly-owned subsidiary Pluris Energy Group, Inc. All significant intercompany transactions and account balances have been eliminated.

Oil and Gas Properties

We follow the full cost method of accounting for our oil and gas operations whereby all cost related to the acquisition of petroleum and natural gas interests are capitalized. Such costs include land and lease acquisition costs, annual carrying charges of non-producing properties, geological and geophysical costs, costs of drilling and equipping productive and non-productive wells, and direct exploration salaries and related benefits. Proceeds from the disposal of oil and gas properties are recorded as a reduction of the related capitalized costs without recognition of a gain or loss unless the disposal would result in a change of 20 percent or more in the depletion rate. We operate in one cost center, being Argentina.

Depletion and depreciation of the carrying value of unproved oil and gas properties are computed using the unit-of-production method based on the estimated reserves of oil and gas as determined by management.

Estimated future removal and site restoration costs are provided over the life of proven reserves on a unit-of-production basis. Costs, which include the cost of production equipment removal and environmental clean-up, are


- 28 -

estimated each period by management based on current regulations, costs, technology and industry standards. The charge is included in the provision for depletion and depreciation and the actual restoration expenditures are charged to the accumulated provision accounts as incurred.

We apply a ceiling test to capitalized costs to ensure that such costs do not exceed estimated future net revenues from production of proven reserves at year end market prices less future production, administrative, financing, site restoration, and income tax costs plus the lower of cost or estimated market value of unproved properties. If capitalized costs are determined to exceed estimated future net revenues, an impairment of the carrying value is charged in the period.

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

Preparation of our financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant areas requiring management’s estimates and assumptions are reviewing the carrying values of oil and gas properties for impairment, valuation of mezzanine equity on preferred stock, determining fair value for stock based compensation, and the valuation of deferred tax assets.

Foreign Currency Translation

The financial statements are presented in United States dollars, the functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 52, "Foreign Currency Translation", foreign denominated monetary assets and liabilities are translated to their United States dollar equivalents using foreign exchange rates which prevailed at the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange during the period. Related currency translation adjustments and gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in results of operations.

Net Earnings (Loss) per Common Share

Basic earnings (loss) per common share include no dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Dilutive earnings (loss) per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in our earnings. Diluted loss per share figures are equal to those of basic loss per share for each period since the effects of convertible notes, stock options and warrants have been excluded as they are anti-dilutive. The 6,000,000 shares held in escrow do not form part of this computation.

Stock-Based Compensation

On January 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004) (SFAS No. 123R), Share-Based Payment, which addresses the accounting for stock-based payment transactions in which an enterprise receives employee services in exchange for (a) equity instruments of the enterprise or (b) liabilities that are based on the fair value of the enterprise’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. In January 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 107, which provides supplemental implementation guidance for SFAS No. 123R. SFAS No. 123R eliminates the ability to account for stock-based compensation transactions using the intrinsic value method under Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and instead requires that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method. The Company uses the Black-Scholes-Merton (“BSM”) option-pricing model to determine the fair-value of stock-based awards under SFAS No. 123R.

Income Taxes

We follow the liability method of accounting for income taxes as set forth in SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying values and their respective income tax basis (temporary differences). The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is


- 29 -

recognized in income in the period that includes the date of enactment or substantial enactment. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that we will not realize the future benefit, or if future deductibility is uncertain.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

In accordance with the requirements of SFAS No. 107, we have determined the estimated fair value of financial instruments using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. The fair value of financial instruments classified as current assets or liabilities including cash, restricted cash, accounts receivable, notes receivable, prepaids and deposits, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, advances and loans payable, debenture payable and amounts due to related parties approximate carrying values due to the short-term maturity of the instruments.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In November 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) voted on the effective date and other amendments of proposed FASB Staff Position FAS 140-4 and FIN 46(R)-8, “Disclosures about Transfers of Financial Assets and Interests in Variable Interest Entities” (“FSP FAS 140-4 and FIN 46R-8”). FSP FAS 140-4 and FIN 46R-8 would amend SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities – as amended” (“SFAS 140”) and FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (“FIN 46R”) to require enhanced disclosures by public entities about transfers of financial assets and interests in variable interest entities, and provide users of the financial statements with greater transparency about a transferor’s continuing involvement with transferred financial assets and an enterprise’s involvement with variable interest entities. The disclosures required by FSP FAS 140-4 and FIN 46R-8 will be effective for reporting periods (interim and annual) ending after December 15, 2008. The Company has reached the conclusion that this will have no impact on its consolidated financial statements

In June 2008, the FASB issued SFAS Statement EITF 03-6-1, which addresses whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities prior to vesting and, therefore, need to be included in the earnings allocation in computing earnings per share (EPS) under the two-class method described in paragraphs 60 and 61 of FASB Statement No. 128, Earnings per Share. EITF 03-6-1 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In May 2008, the FASB issued FSP APB 14-1, “Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement).” Effective for the Company as of January 1, 2009, FSP APB 14-1 applies to convertible debt instruments that, by their stated terms, may be settled in cash (or other assets) upon conversion, including partial cash settlement, unless the embedded conversion option is required to be separately accounted for as a derivative under SFAS No. 133. FSP APB 14-1 requires the liability and equity components of convertible debt instruments within its scope to be separately accounted for in a manner that will reflect the entity’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest expense is recognized in subsequent periods. The resulting equity component (the conversion option) is not re-measured as long as long as it continues to meet the conditions for equity classification in EITF No. 00-19, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock.” Early adoption of this standard is not permitted. Management is evaluating the impact of adopting of this standard on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162 (“SFAS 162”), “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” Under SFAS 162, the GAAP hierarchy will now reside in the accounting literature established by the FASB. SFAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. SFAS 162 is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Accounting Oversight Board Auditing amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 162 to have a material impact on its financial statements.

In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position ("FSP") FAS 142-3, "Determination of Useful Life of Intangible Assets" ("FSP FAS 142-3"). FSP FAS 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing


- 30 -

the renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under FAS 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." FSP FAS 142-3 also requires expanded disclosure related to the determination of intangible asset useful lives. FSP FAS 142-3 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is not permitted. We do not believe the adoption of FAS FSP 142-3 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities ("SFAS 161"). SFAS 161 is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 achieves these improvements by requiring disclosure of the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses in a tabular format. It also provides more information about an entity's liquidity by requiring disclosure of derivative features that are credit risk-related. Finally, it requires cross-referencing within footnotes to enable financial statement users to locate important information about derivative instruments. SFAS 161 will be effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, will be adopted by the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2009. The Company does not expect there to be any significant impact of adopting SFAS 161 on its financial position, cash flows and results of operations.

In March 2008, the FASB issued EITF Issue No. 07-5, “Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock.” Effective for the Company as of January 1, 2009, EITF Issue No. 07-5 defines when adjustment features within contracts are considered to be equity-indexed. Early adoption of this standard is not permitted. Management is evaluating the impact of adopting of this standard on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141R”). SFAS 141R changes the accounting for and reporting of business combinations including, among other things, expanding the definition of a business and a business combination; requiring all assets and liabilities of the acquired business, including goodwill, contingent assets and liabilities, and contingent consideration to be recorded at fair value on the acquisition date; requiring acquisition-related transaction and restructuring costs to be expensed, rather than accounted for as acquisition costs; and requiring reversals of valuation allowances related to acquired deferred tax assets and changes to acquired income tax uncertainties to be recognized in earnings. SFAS 141R applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier application of SFAS 141R is prohibited. The Company has reached the conclusion that at inception, this will have no impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements Liabilities – an Amendment of ARB No. 51”. This statement amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the Non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. This statement is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on our future reported financial position or results of operations.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115" ("FAS 159"). This statement allows an entity the option to elect fair value for the initial and subsequent measurement for certain financial instruments and other items that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. If a company chooses to record eligible items at fair value, the company must report unrealized gains and losses on those items in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. FAS 159 also prescribes presentation and disclosure requirements for assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value pursuant to this standard. FAS 159 was effective for the Company as of January 1, 2008. The adoption of FAS 159 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Directors and Stockholders,
Pluris Energy Group Inc.
(An Exploration Stage Company)

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Pluris Energy Group Inc. (the “Company”) (An Exploration Stage Company) as of December 31, 2008 and the related consolidated statements of operations, cash flows and stockholders’ deficit for the year then ended. We have also audited the statements of operations, cash flows and stockholders’ deficit for the period from inception (November 15, 2001) to December 31, 2008, except that we did not audit these consolidated financial statements for the period from inception (November 15, 2001) through December 31, 2007; those consolidated statements were audited by other auditors whose report dated March 24, 2008, except for Note 14 which is as of April 10, 2008 expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. Our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts for the period from inception (November 15, 2001) through December 31, 2007, is based solely on the report of the other auditors.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, based on our audit and the report of other auditors, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Pluris Energy Group Inc. (An Exploration Stage Company) at December 31, 2008 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended and for the period from November 15, 2001 (Date of Inception) to December 31, 2008 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company had not yet achieved profitable operations, had an accumulated deficit of $27,222,092 at December 31, 2008 and incurred a net loss of $4,649,421 for the year then ended. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.

In our opinion, these consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2007 and 2006 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended and for the period from November 15, 2001 (inception) through December 31, 2007 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has not generated revenues since inception, has incurred losses in developing its business, and further losses are anticipated. The Company requires additional funds to meet its obligations and the costs of its operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in this regard are described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

PLURIS ENERGY GROUP INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2008

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS, GOING CONCERN AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Pluris Energy Group Inc. (the “Company” or “Pluris”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada. Its current mandate is to become an international oil and gas company engaged in the acquisition of producing oil and gas assets in Argentina. Pluris is currently positioned with three acquisition opportunities representing over 430,000 net acres of producing oil and gas assets situated within three Argentine hydrocarbon regions.

During the third quarter of 2006, the Company changed its principal focus to the acquisition and development of oil and gas properties in Argentina. In August 2006, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase all the issued and outstanding shares of San Enrique Petrolera, S.A. (“SEPSA”), incorporated under the laws of Argentina. Refer to Note 7. As a result of the geographic change in the Company’s focus, the Company’s USA properties have been disposed of and accordingly have been classified as discontinued operations since December 31, 2006. Refer to Note 3.

In November 2007, the Company entered into a Letter of Intent agreement with Clear S.R.L., of Comodoro Rivadavia, Argentina ("Clear"), whereby the Company retains the exclusive right to purchase and develop up to 100% of Clear's 186,000 square kilometer Cerro Negro concession, Chubut Province, Golfo San Jorge Basin, Argentina ("Cerro Negro"). Refer to Note 8.

In December 2007, the Company entered into a Letter of Intent agreement to acquire 100% of the shares of a Buenos Aires, Argentina based oil development and production company which hold leasehold assets primarily located in the Neuquén Basin, Rio Negro Province, Argentina. Refer to Note 8.

On July 1, 2008, the Company incorporated a subsidiary Pluris Sarmiento Petroleo SA, a private Argentine corporation for the purpose of effecting the Company's acquisition of the Cerro Negro concession. Refer to Note 8.

These accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As at December 31, 2008, the Company has a working capital deficiency of $2,315,961 and has incurred significant losses since inception. The Company’s continuance of operations is contingent on raising additional capital, settling its outstanding debts and on the future acquisition and successful development of oil and gas properties. Accordingly, these factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Production revenue, advances from certain significant shareholders and funding from private placements will form the primary source of short-term funding for the Company during the next twelve months, which is estimated at $42,310,000, primarily for oil and gas exploration and development expenses and holding costs. The continuation of the Company is dependent upon the continuing financial support of stockholders.

While the Company is expending its best efforts to achieve the above plans, there is no assurance that any such financings will occur. These consolidated financial statements do not include adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Securities Held for Trading
The Company does not hold securities in other companies for investment purposes. Any securities received as payment for or settlement of debt are classified as held for sale.

Oil and Gas Properties
The Company follows the full cost method of accounting for its oil and gas operations whereby all cost related to the acquisition of petroleum and natural gas interests are capitalized. Such costs include land and lease acquisition costs, annual carrying charges of non-producing properties, geological and geophysical costs, costs of drilling and equipping productive and non-productive wells, and direct exploration salaries and related benefits. In addition, the Company is the operator of its properties and as per its contract with third party working interest partners, the Company charges them operator fees. These operator fees represent a reimbursement of general and administration expenses which have been allocated to the exploration and maintenance of the Emily Hawes Field property. Proceeds from the disposal of oil and gas properties are recorded as a reduction of the related capitalized costs without recognition of a gain or loss unless the disposal would result in a change of 20 percent or more in the depletion rate. The Company operates in one cost center, being the U.S.A.

To date the Company has commenced initial production of gas but has not yet quantified proven reserves from evaluations from third party independent reservoir engineers. Depletion and depreciation of the carrying value of unproved oil and gas properties are computed using the unit-of-production method based on the estimated reserves of oil and gas as determined by management.

Estimated future removal and site restoration costs are provided over the life of proven reserves on a unit-of-production basis. Costs, which include the cost of production equipment removal and environmental clean-up, are estimated each period by management based on current regulations, costs, technology and industry standards. The charge is included in the provision for depletion and depreciation and the actual restoration expenditures are charged to the accumulated provision accounts as incurred.

The Company applies a ceiling test to capitalized costs to ensure that such costs do not exceed estimated future net revenues from production of proven reserves at year end market prices less future production, administrative, financing, site restoration, and income tax costs plus the lower of cost or estimated market value of unproved properties. If capitalized costs are determined to exceed estimated future net revenues, an impairment of the carrying value is charged in the period.

Use of Estimates and Assumptions
Preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant areas requiring management’s estimates and assumptions are reviewing the carrying values of oil and gas properties for impairment, determining fair value for stock based compensation, asset retirement obligations and the valuation of deferred tax assets.

Furniture and Equipment
Furniture and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed on a declining balance basis at 20-30% per year.

Foreign Currency Translation
The financial statements are presented in United States dollars, the functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 52, "Foreign Currency Translation", foreign denominated monetary assets and liabilities are translated to their United States dollar equivalents using foreign exchange rates which prevailed at the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange during the period. Related currency translation adjustments and gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in results of operations.

Net Earnings (Loss) per Common Share
Basic earnings (loss) per common share include no dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Dilutive earnings (loss) per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of the Company. Diluted loss per share figures are equal to those of basic loss per share for each period since the effects of convertible notes, stock options and warrants have been excluded as they are anti-dilutive. The 6,000,000 shares held in escrow do not form part of this computation - see Note 10.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Revenue Recognition
Oil and natural gas revenues are recorded using the sales method whereby the Company recognizes oil and natural gas revenue based on the amount of oil and gas sold to purchasers when title passes, the amount is determinable and collection is reasonably assured. Actual sales of gas are based on sales, net of the associated volume charges for processing fees and for costs associated with delivery, transportation, marketing, and royalties in accordance with industry standards. Operating costs and taxes are recognized in the same period of which revenue is earned.

Stock-Based Compensation
On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004) (SFAS No. 123R), Share-Based Payment, which addresses the accounting for stock-based payment transactions in which an enterprise receives employee services in exchange for (a) equity instruments of the enterprise or (b) liabilities that are based on the fair value of the enterprise’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. In January 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 107, which provides supplemental implementation guidance for SFAS No. 123R. SFAS No. 123R eliminates the ability to account for stock-based compensation transactions using the intrinsic value method under Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and instead requires that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method. The Company uses the Black-Scholes-Merton (“BSM”) option-pricing model to determine the fair-value of stock-based awards under SFAS No. 123R.

Income Taxes
The Company utilizes the liability method of accounting for income taxes as set forth in SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (“SFAS 109”). Under the liability method, deferred taxes are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using tax rates expected to be in effect during the years in which the basis differences reverse. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that some of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

On January 1, 2007 the Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“FIN 48”), which have been applied to all income tax positions commencing from that date. FIN 48 provides detailed guidance for the financial statement recognition, measurement and disclosure of uncertain tax positions recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS 109. Income tax positions must meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the effective date to be recognized upon the adoption of FIN 48 and in subsequent periods. The Company recognizes potential accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within operations as income tax expense. There was no impact to the consolidated financial statements on adoption of this provision.

Prior to 2007, the Company determined its income tax contingencies in accordance with SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies. The Company recorded estimated tax liabilities to the extent the contingencies were probable and could be reasonably estimated.”

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
In accordance with the requirements of SFAS No. 107, the Company has determined the estimated fair value of financial instruments using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. The fair value of financial instruments classified as current assets or liabilities including cash, restricted cash, accounts receivable, notes receivable, prepaids and deposits, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, advances and loans payable, debenture payable and amounts due to related parties approximate carrying values due to the short-term maturity of the instruments.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

  a)

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements." The statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. In February 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. FAS 157-2 which proposed a one year deferral for the implementation of SFAS 157 for non-financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a nonrecurring basis (less frequent than annually).

     
 

On January 1, 2008 we elected to implement this Statement with the one-year deferral. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Beginning January 1, 2009, we will adopt the provisions for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities that are not required or permitted to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. We are in the process of evaluating this standard in our consolidated financial statements for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.

  b)

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities- Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115" ("FAS 159"). This Statement allows an entity the option to elect fair value for the initial and subsequent measurement for certain financial instruments and other items that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. If a company chooses to record eligible items at fair value, the company must report unrealized gains and losses on those items in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. FAS 159 also prescribes presentation and disclosure requirements for assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value pursuant to this standard. FAS 159 was effective for the Company as of January 1, 2008. The adoption of FAS 159 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

     
  c)

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141R”). SFAS 141R changes the accounting for and reporting of business combinations including, among other things, expanding the definition of a business and a business combination; requiring all assets and liabilities of the acquired business, including goodwill, contingent assets and liabilities, and contingent consideration to be recorded at fair value on the acquisition date; requiring acquisition-related transaction and restructuring costs to be expensed, rather than accounted for as acquisition costs; and requiring reversals of valuation allowances related to acquired deferred tax assets and changes to acquired income tax uncertainties to be recognized in earnings. SFAS 141R applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier application of SFAS 141R is prohibited. The Company has reached the conclusion that, at inception, this will have no impact on its consolidated financial statements.

     
  d)

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, "Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51" ("FAS 160"). This Statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. FAS 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. The Company does not expect that the adoption of FAS 160 will have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.

     
  e)

In March 2008, the FASB issued EITF Issue No. 07-5, “Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock.” Effective for the Company as of January 1, 2009, EITF Issue No. 07-5 defines when adjustment features within contracts are considered to be equity-indexed. Early adoption of this standard is not permitted. Management is presently evaluating the impact of adopting EITF Issue No. 07-5 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

     
  f)

In March 2008, the FASB issued FAS No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("FAS 161"). FAS 161 amends and expands the disclosure requirements of FAS 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" and requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal periods beginning after November 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is not permitted. We do not believe the adoption of FAS 161 will have a material impact on the disclosures in our consolidated financial statements.

     
  g)

In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position ("FSP") FAS 142-3, "Determination of Useful Life of Intangible Assets" ("FSP FAS 142-3"). FSP FAS 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing the renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under FAS 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." FSP FAS 142-3 also requires expanded disclosure related to the determination of intangible asset useful lives. FSP FAS 142-3 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is not permitted. We do not believe the adoption of FAS FSP 142-3 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

     
  h)

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162 (“SFAS 162”), “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” Under SFAS 162, the GAAP hierarchy will now reside in the accounting literature established by the FASB. SFAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. SFAS 162 is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Accounting Oversight Board Auditing amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 162 to have a material impact on its financial statements.

  i)

In May 2008, the FASB issued FSP APB 14-1, “Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement).” Effective for the Company as of January 1, 2009, FSP APB 14-1 applies to convertible debt instruments that, by their stated terms, may be settled in cash (or other assets) upon conversion, including partial cash settlement, unless the embedded conversion option is required to be separately accounted for as a derivative under SFAS No. 133. FSP APB 14-1 requires the liability and equity components of convertible debt instruments within its scope to be separately accounted for in a manner that will reflect the entity’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest expense is recognized in subsequent periods. The resulting equity component (the conversion option) is not re- measured as long as long as it continues to meet the conditions for equity classification in EITF No. 00-19, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock.” Early adoption of this standard is not permitted. Management is evaluating the impact of adopting FSP APB 14-1 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

     
  j)

In June 2008, the FASB issued SFAS Statement EITF 03-6-1, which addresses whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities prior to vesting and, therefore, need to be included in the earnings allocation in computing earnings per share (EPS) under the two-class method described in paragraphs 60 and 61 of FASB Statement No. 128, Earnings per Share. EITF 03-6-1 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

     
  k)

In November 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) voted on the effective date and other amendments of proposed FASB Staff Position FAS 140-4 and FIN 46(R)-8, “Disclosures about Transfers of Financial Assets and Interests in Variable Interest Entities” (“FSP FAS 140-4 and FIN 46R-8”). FSP FAS 140-4 and FIN 46R-8 would amend SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities – as amended” (“SFAS 140”) and FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (“FIN 46R”) to require enhanced disclosures by public entities about transfers of financial assets and interests in variable interest entities, and provide users of the financial statements with greater transparency about a transferor’s continuing involvement with transferred financial assets and an enterprise’s involvement with variable interest entities. The disclosures required by FSP FAS 140-4 and FIN 46R-8 will be effective for reporting periods (interim and annual) ending after December 15, 2008. The Company has reached the conclusion that this will have no impact on its consolidated financial statements

Following a period of poor financial performance and continued losses on its United States oil and gas operations, the Company commenced a process to sell its United States oil and gas properties. Accordingly, the results of US oil and gas operations were classified as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations and the assets were classified on the consolidated balance sheets as property held for sale. The consolidated statements of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 and from November 15, 2001 (inception) to December 31, 2008 for operating activities, investing activities, and financing activities have been separated between continuing and discontinued operations.

During the year ending December 31, 2007, the Company incurred exploration costs of $15,014 on its properties, sold the Emily Hawes Field and Matagorda Pipeline properties for $500,000, and depleted the properties by $165. An impairment charge of $806,973 was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2007 to reflect the estimated net realizable value of the Tiller Ranch property as described below. The Company also recorded additional impairment of $1,514 on its other properties that were written down to nil in the year ending December 31, 2007.

As at December 31, 2008 the Company has notes payable outstanding totaling $197,313 including accrued interest of $21,924 (December 31, 2007: $399,375 including accrued interest of $44,375) which are unsecured, due on demand, and bear interest at 12.5% per annum. During 2008, the Company issued an additional seven promissory notes for $681,500 with the same terms as the previous notes, accrued $85,188 interest on those notes, and then amended six of the promissory notes totaling $579,375 including accrued interest of $64,375 to include conversion terms. Refer to Note 6.

On July 30, 2008, the Company entered into a private placement agreement with a private company that provides services to the Company of a director and officer of the Company for 1,557,500 units at $0.25 per unit for total proceeds of $389,375, with each unit consisting of one common share and one common share purchase warrant, with each common share purchase warrant exercisable at $0.50 per common share for a period of 2 years from the date of issuance. The private placement agreement was entered into by the Company in settlement of $389,375 notes payable to a company which the director and officer is able to exercise significant influence over and assigned the notes payable to the private company that provides services to the Company of a director and officer of the Company. Refer to Notes 9 and 10(b).

During the year ending December 31, 2007, the Company issued ten promissory notes totaling $420,000 which are unsecured, due on demand, and bear interest at 12.5% .

As of December 31, 2007, seven promissory notes totaling $355,000 plus accrued interest charges of $44,375 remain outstanding, for a total of $399,375.

NOTE 6 – CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE

On March 28, 2008 (the “Amendment Date”), the Company entered into an Amendment Agreement (the “Promissory Note Amendment Agreement”) whereby terms of six promissory notes totaling $579,375 including accrued interest of $64,375 were amended providing for conversion rights into units (“Units”) of the Company for all of or portions of the principal and accrued interest. The Notes are convertible at $0.35 where each Unit is comprised of one common share and one common share purchase warrant. Each share purchase warrant is exercisable commencing 90 days subsequent to the date of the conversion for a period of two years from the date of conversion at an exercise price of $0.70 per warrant. The Company estimated the fair value of the amended convertible notes by comparing the carrying value of the old notes with the value of the shares and warrants underlying the new convertible notes. Management determined that the interest rate approximated the true market rate at the time. The common shares were valued using the quoted market value of the Company’s common share on the amendment date while the warrants were valued using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The Company estimated the fair value of the share purchase warrants granted to be $266,786 by applying the fair value method using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using an expected life of two years, exercise price of $0.70, a risk-free interest rate of 1.75% and an expected volatility of 128%. The excess of the total fair value of consideration and the fair value of the debt was $380,744 and has been accounted for as a loss on extinguishment in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2008.

NOTE 6 – CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE (CONTINUED)

On March 31, 2008, a total of $466,875 (including accrued interest of $51,875) of convertible notes were converted into 1,333,928 Units. On conversion, the fair value of $266,786 allocated to warrants was charged to the equity component of convertible notes of $380,744 in additional paid-in capital.

As at December 31, 2008, a total of $112,500 (including accrued interest of $12,500) of convertible notes were outstanding and due on February 7, 2009. As at April 15, 2009, the company negotiated with the lender a six-month extension on the maturity date of the promissory note, which are now due on August 7, 2009.

NOTE 7 – LOANS PAYABLE

Effective April 28, 2006 the Company entered into three convertible loan agreements which were secured by the assets of the Company’s subsidiary Petrogen. The loans bear interest at LIBOR plus 5% per annum, and interest is payable each quarter commencing six months after the first receipt of funds. The first note of $275,000 was due on April 1, 2007, and was converted into 1,375,000 common shares on May 7, 2007. The second note of $275,000 was due on June 13, 2007, and converted into 1,375,000 common shares on June 25, 2007. The remaining note of $285,000 was due one year after receipt of funds, being September 7, 2007. On March 14, 2007, $134,750 was repaid in cash and on September 26, 2007, $75,000 was converted into 375,000 common shares, leaving a balance of $75,250 plus $3,867 in accrued interest.

These convertible loan agreements had a ratchet provision adjusting the conversion price downward based on any subsequent equity issuances at prices less than the original conversion price of $1.00 per share (post-reverse split). The original conversion price was $1.00 but was adjusted to $0.20 pursuant to a private placement at $0.20 per common share during the year ended December 31, 2006.

SAN ENRIQUE PETROLERA S.A.
On August 18, 2006, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement (“SPA”) with four individuals to purchase all the issued and outstanding shares of San Enrique Petrolera, S.A. (“SEPSA”), incorporated under the laws of Argentina. SEPSA’s interests include five hydrocarbon producing properties located in three of Argentina’s five oil and gas producing basins. In order to secure the rights to purchase SEPSA, an Escrow Agreement (the “Escrow”) was entered into between the Company, SEPSA and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, New York (“DB”), whereby the Company issued a $3,225,000 convertible, non-retractable redeemable unsecured bond (the “Bond”) in the name of Pluris Energy Group Inc., which has been placed into the Escrow at DB. Terms of the Escrow stipulate certain conversion provisions of the Bond predicated upon the performance of both SEPSA and the Company. In the event that the Bond is transferred from the Company to SEPSA, SEPSA will retain certain privileges of Bond conversion into common shares of the Company at prices ranging from $3.25 per common share to $9.25 per common share. The Bond is due in five years time at an interest rate of LIBOR plus 5%, with a floor of 10.5% and a ceiling of 13%. Interest on the Bond can be paid in

common share equity of the Company at the Company’s discretion. This Bond will not be considered issued and outstanding for accounting purposes until such time as the Bond is transferred to SEPSA.

One of the five properties owned by SEPSA, known as Tierra Del Fuego (“TDF”) is the subject of a Joint Venture agreement (the “JV”) with four other JV participants, each of which possesses a Right of First Refusal (the “ROFR”) to purchase SEPSA’s interest in TDF under a “match or pass” status. In October of 2006, SEPSA provided the four JV participants to TDF, notification of the Company having won the bid to purchase SEPSA, and under such notification, those JV participants were provided with 30 days to match the Company’s allocation on the TDF property, or pass on their ROFR, thereafter enabling the Company to complete its acquisition of SEPSA, inclusive of all or part of SEPSA’s interests in the TDF property. Prior to the end of that 30 day notification period, two of the four JV participants commenced proceedings against SEPSA in the Argentine Commercial Courts seeking intermediary action pursuant to their rights under the terms of the JV’s ROFR. On March 22, 2007 the Company was advised by SEPSA that as an outcome to those proceedings, two injunctions were imposed by the Argentina National Commercial Court of Appeals on behalf of Apco Argentina Inc. (“Apco”) and Antrim Energy Inc. (“Antrim”) prohibiting the sale of SEPSA’s shares to the Company until such time as the ROFR issues between SEPSA, Apco and Antrim are resolved.

As a result of the injunctions imposed by Apco and Antrim, based upon the confirmation by the National Commercial Court of Appeals of the injunctions, on April 23, 2007, the Company informed SEPSA’s shareholders that they should abstain from selling or disposing in any manner to any third party any of the Shares that SEPSA have undertaken to sell to the Company under the terms of the SPA and that SEPSA should abstain from disposing any of the assets it owned at the time the SPA was signed. In response, SEPSA informed the Company of its unilateral repudiation of the SPA, stating that as an effect of the injunctions imposed by Apco and Antrim, the SPA could be terminated. The Company maintains that the terms of the SPA clearly stipulate that any dispute arising under the SPA must be mutually addressed between the Company and SEPSA through the International Chamber of Commerce, Paris, France. Therefore, the Company commenced an arbitral action against SEPSA through The Secretariat of the Court, International Court of Arbitration, International Chamber of Commerce, Paris, France (the “ICC”), requesting the ICC to enforce SEPSA’s obligations under the terms agreed upon in the SPA and to sell 100% of the shares of SEPSA and that their other obligations set forth under the SPA are in full force and effect and to award damages incurred by the Company. In December 2007, SEPSA and the Company completed the execution of Terms of Reference (the “TOR”), whereby under the TOR, SEPSA and the Company mandated to the ICC the specific issues that the ICC should address related to both parties complaints and to what issues the ICC should make declarations under pursuant to the arbitral proceedings between SEPSA and the Company. Under the TOR, there is a specific schedule that has been agreed upon between SEPSA, the Company and the ICC, whereby the Company and SEPSA must submit to the ICC, specific requested materials at specific dates in order to move the arbitral process towards a conclusion. As at the December 31, 2007, both SEPSA and the Company had filed their respective offerings of evidence related to their specific claims and the parties were awaiting a reply from the ICC arbitral tribunal as to what evidence that has been offered by both parties will be accepted by the tribunal. Subsequent to the TOR being agreed upon by the parties, the ICC requested from both the Company and SEPSA an amount of US$150,000 each, for payment towards the costs associated on behalf of the ICC for the continuation of the arbitral proceedings. In that regard, due to SEPSA’s refusal to make said payment to the ICC as noted, the Company’s Argentine litigation council advised that the Company should pay the portion requested of SEPSA to ensure continuation of the arbitral proceedings; therefore, the Company made a total payment to the ICC in the amount of $300,000 during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008 and recorded this to professional fees for costs associated on behalf of the ICC for the continuation of the arbitral proceedings. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2008, the Company and SEPSA attended a hearing at the request of and before the ICC tribunal whereby both parties and the ICC tribunal agreed to move towards the ICC tribunal making a preliminary determination related to the arbitral dispute between the Company and SEPSA in the form of a partial damages award.

The Company agreed to attend a formal hearing before the ICC tribunal during May 2008, where certain officers and representatives of the Company were interviewed by the ICC tribunal and the Company was able to comment to the ICC tribunal about the Company’s position related to the unresolved matters between the Company and SEPSA. Subsequent to the hearings, the ICC requested the Company to submit to the ICC, its closing arguments related to the arbitration within a specified period of time. The Company has claimed damages in the form of loss of revenue from July 1, 2006 through to the current date; loss of business opportunity related to increases to the values of assets owned and/or controlled by SEPSA and loss of-out-of-pocket expenses from the inception of the Company’s efforts to win the bid and complete the acquisition of SEPSA. SEPSA has filed a counter-claim for recovery of legal expenses and translation fees incurred to date related to the dispute between it and the Company. There is no determination as to the length of time necessary for the ICC to make any final renderings pursuant to the arbitral proceedings between the Company and SEPSA and whether or not any awards for damages will be made by the ICC and, further; there is no determination as to what the outcome of any potential final determinations made be the ICC related to damages awards may be.

In January 2009, the Company received a partial award from the ICC as the result of the binding arbitration action.The rendering by the ICC binding the parties to the award determines the SPA entered into between the Company and SEPSA on August 18, 2006 is terminated retroactively to October 31, 2006. It further determines that the SPA's early termination was seventy percent (70%) the responsibility of SEPSA and thirty percent (30%) the responsibility of the Company. The Company will support its final damages submission to the ICC through third party valuations evidencing the substantiation of the overall damages suffered by the Company as a result of it losing the business opportunity related to its planned acquisition of SEPSA. The ICC has not yet made its final damage award rendering.

CLEAR S.R.L.

In November 2007, the Company entered into a Letter of Intent agreement (“LOI”) with Clear S.R.L. ("Clear")., whereby the Company acquires the exclusive right to purchase and develop up to 100% of Clear's 186 square kilometer Cerro Negro concession, Chubut Province, Golfo San Jorge Basin, Argentina ("Cerro Negro" or “the Concession”). Under the terms of the agreement between Clear and the Company, the Company has the right to purchase Cerro Negro subject to the satisfactory outcome of due diligence related to Cerro Negro performed by the Company, which includes commercial, financial, geologic, geophysical and petroleum engineering analysis. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company satisfactorily completed the due diligence and in collaboration with Clear, has moved into the final negotiations related to the drafting of a mutually agreeable Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “PSA”) Upon closing of the PSA, the Company will have a specified period of time pursuant to the terms of the PSA to complete the acquisition of Cerro Negro and will immediately thereafter commence drilling, development and expansion of Cerro Negro.

In connection with the purchase and development of Clear’s Cerro Negro concession, the Company’ subsidiary, Pluris, BVI, issued a $840,000 convertible, non-retractable redeemable unsecured bond (the “CN Security Bond”), held by a third party in trust on behalf of Clear and the Company as a security instrument pursuant to the terms of the LOI. Terms under the LOI pursuant to the CN Security Bond stipulate that in the event that the Company does not perform according to the LOI terms, the CN Security Bond will be transferred to Clear. The CN Security Bond may be converted into common shares of the Company at prices ranging from $3.25 per common share to $9.25 per common share. The CN Security Bond’s maturity date is September 30, 2011 and the interest rate is LIBOR plus 5%, with a floor of 10.5% and a ceiling of 13%. Interest under the CN Security Bond can be converted into common shares of the Company at its discretion. At December 31, 2008 the Company maintains ownership of the Bond. The CN Security Bond will not be considered issued and outstanding for accounting purposes until such time as the CN Security Bond is transferred to Clear. Completion of the Cerro Negro acquisition by the Company is subject to agreement on final terms of the PSA being reached by Clear and the Company and the Company raising the funds necessary to complete the transaction.

The Company also entered into an Assignment Agreement dated July 4, 2008 (the "Agreement") with Clear to purchase 75% of Clear’s operating exploration and exploitation rights in the Cerro Negro oil and gas concession located in the Chubut Province, Argentina (the "Concession"). In consideration of the assignment of rights in the Concession, the Company agreed to pay a total of $21,000,000 cash, payable in installments as set out in the Agreement and issue Clear an aggregate of 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock issuable in installments as set out in the Agreement. The Concession is valid for a term expiring on December 1, 2025 and is renewable for a five-year period.

Conditions for the Company and Clear (the “Parties”) of closing the agreement are as follows:

i.

the Parties must obtain consent for the assignment of Clear's interest in the Concession from Petrominera Chubut S.E.;

ii.

the Parties must undertake their best efforts to enter into a joint operating agreement to govern the operations on the Concession pursuant to which Company or its nominee will be the operator on the property; and

The parties agreed to close the transaction no later than 150 days from the execution date (the "Closing Date") and the Company agreed to undertake its best efforts to close within 90 days of the execution date of the Agreement. In the event closing does not occur by the Closing Date, and the Parties have not extended the term of the agreement on a mutual basis, the Company is liable for any interest accrued under the Agreement at an annual rate of 5.5% and must sign over a bond issued in the name of the Company in the amount of $840,000 as a guarantee of its obligations under the Agreement. If closing does not occur due to the inability to obtain the consent of Petrominera Chubut S.E. then the closing may take place 60 days following the expiration of the initial 150 day period.

As of the date of this filing, the Company has undergone substantial delays to the funding mandate related to the acquisition of the Cerro Negro concession due to the severity of the international economic and financial crisis. As a result, the Company have yet to raise the necessary capital to date to acquire the Concession as mandated by the Company with the assistance of Standard America’s and Standard Bank Plc (“Standard”), where Standard has been seeking an equity capital infusion of some $50 million on behalf of the Company to complete the Cerro Negro acquisition and to commence operations there. As a result of the financial crisis, the Company has concluded that under the current market conditions only a 100% acquisition of the Cerro Negro concession is plausible. Therefore, the Company has undertaken extensive discussions with Clear to those ends where they currently await the Company’s proposal for our acquisition of a 100% interest in the Concession. The Company is currently reviewing several options related to structuring a proposal to Clear. Aside from the Closing Date being delayed due to the circumstances as above noted, both parties to the Agreement have concluded that as of the date of this filing the Company continues to maintain ownership of the Bond. The Company can seek return to treasury of the Bond at any time when necessary. As of the date of this filing, the Company has not received timely approval from Petrominera Chubút SE of the Company as incoming operator over the Concession.

BUENOS AIRES OIL & GAS COMPANY

In December 2007, the Company entered into a LOI to acquire 100% of the shares of a Buenos Aires, Argentina based oil development and production company (the “BAO”) as a wholly owned operating subsidiary to the Company, which holds leasehold interests primarily located in the Neuquén Basin, Rio Negro Province, Argentina. Under the terms of the LOI, the Company has the right to purchase 100% of the shares of BAO subject to the satisfactory outcome of due diligence related to BAO performed by the Company, which includes corporate, commercial, financial, geologic, geophysical and petroleum engineering analysis. Upon the Company’s satisfaction under the due diligence, the Company and BAO shall negotiate and execute a mutually acceptable SPA. Completion of the BAO acquisition by the Company is subject to satisfactory completion of due diligence, the appropriate extensions over portions of BAO’s concessions having been secured by BAO at the provincial authority level, agreement on final terms of the SPA, which shall remain confidential until completion and the Company raising the funds necessary to complete the transaction.

As BAO has been unable to display its capacity to secure the necessary extensions over the portions of its concession interests from the Argentine provincial authorities, as they represented, the Company ceased any further discussions with BAO or activities related to the Company’s ongoing interest in the acquisition of BAO.

Preferred Shares- Series A- Authorized 100,000,000

In May 2007, three directors, (one of whom is also an officer) and another officer converted $4,800 of unpaid fees into 4,800,000 Series A, $0.001 par value, preferred shares. Each preferred share will have 10 votes, whereas each common share has only one vote. In the event the Company at any time or from time to time after the original date of issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock shall declare or pay any dividend or make any other distribution on the Corporation’s common stock payable in common stock or effect a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in Common Stock), then the number of votes per share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be proportionately increased, concurrently with the effectiveness of such stock dividend, stock distribution or subdivision. Otherwise, the Series “A” preferred shares do not participate in any assets or dividends of the Company. Each of the four holders of the series “A” preferred shares as described have entered into an agreement with the Company (the “Shareholder Agreement”) that stipulates that at any time the holder thereof discontinues acting as an officer or director of the Company for any reason whatsoever, whether by mutually agreed upon termination of tenure, dismissal for cause or without cause, etc., the departing director or officer will immediately therewith return to treasury, those series “A” preferred shares issued in the name of said officer or Director for cancellation. On August 22, 2007, one of the Directors resigned and as a result, 200,000 preferred shares with a value of $200 were cancelled. As of December 31, 2008, the Company had 4,600,000 Series A preferred shares outstanding. See Note 9.

Preferred Shares, Series B- Authorized 30,000,000

In October 2008, the Company issued 16,479,493 Series B, $0.001 par value preferred shares for cash proceeds of $4,540 and settlement of accrued management and consulting fees of $11,940. The aggregate liquidation value is estimated at $5,620,000 and includes $90,000 accrued but unpaid dividends which represents a rate of return of 10% per annum on the sum of the preferred stockholder’s initial capital investment. In the event of liquidation, sale, conveyance, transfer of all of substantially all of the assets of the Company, dissolution, or winding up of the affairs through consolidation, merger or other business combination of the Company, (the “Liquidation Event”), the holder shall receive out of the assets of the Company an amount equal to the holder’s initial investment infusion as determined by the Board, plus a rate of return on this investment of 10% per annum, which is accreted each year as a dividend. While no dividends have been declared as of December 31, 2008, the Company has accrued dividends through a charge to “Additional paid-in capital” as accumulated and unpaid dividends are included in the redemption price of the Series B Stock. The Series B preferred shares have a first priority right for any future dividend distributions declared by the Company (the “Dividend Rights”), those Dividend Rights shall be in priority to any other preferred shares of the Company or the common shares of the Company. At the sole discretion of the Company, the issuance of the preferred shares will be on the basis of one preferred share to one common share of the Company where each common share must have been acquired through investment infusions deemed to be investments by the Board from the date commencing September 12, 2006. The holders of the preferred shares do not have any voting privileges. The Company has the discretion to redeem all or a portion of the preferred shares at any time. As of December 31, 2008, the Company believes that it is not probable that the Series B Stock will become redeemable as the contingencies for liquidation event which entitles the preferred stockholder redemption value is not met.

The Series B Preferred Stock is recorded in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets as “Mezzanine Equity” as it has a redemption feature not solely within the Company’s control. The initial carrying amount of the redeemable Series B Preferred Stock of $5,620,000 is at its fair value at date of issue.

The original value of this award was estimated to be $1,116,000. However, to date, no specific awards under this provision have been granted by the Board of Directors and accordingly no stock-based compensation has been recorded.

   
(b)

a total of 900,000 escrowed performance shares can be purchased from escrow at a price of $5.00 per share on or before the first three years after the Effective Date, if the Company’s assets increase by 50%, the market share price of the Company’s common stock achieves a minimum of $6.25, and the Company financial statements reflect a minimum of $3,000,000 profit before taxes, depletion, amortization and stock based compensation charges.

To date, no specific awards under this provision have been granted by the Board of Directors and accordingly no stock-based compensation has been recorded;

   
(d)

To date, no specific awards under this provision have been granted by the Board of Directors and accordingly no stock-based compensation has been recorded.

At December 31, 2008, a total of 6,000,000 performance shares are unvested and may be purchased from escrow at a price ranging from $2.50 to $10.00 per share, based on the Company’s common stock achieving a minimum market price ranging from $6.25 to $20.00 per share and the Company’s assets increasing by a minimum of 50% to 400%.

NOTE 12 – STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS

The Company has authorized the granting of stock appreciation rights (“SARs”). A SAR can be awarded to directors, officers, and consultants that entitle these grantees to receive cash or shares of common stock, or a combination of both, with each right having a value on the date the stock appreciation right is exercised equal to the excess of the quoted market value of a share of common stock at the time of exercise over the exercise price per right set forth on the grant date.

Since the SARs could be settled by cash, the Company must recognize the related liability in accordance with SFAS 123 (R) which requires that the liability be measured at fair value and revalued at each reporting date through final settlement. Fair value is calculated using the same assumptions and option pricing model that is used to compute the fair value of stock options.

During 2008, 87,500 SARs were exercised at an exercise price of $0.50 per right. The intrinsic value of the SARs on the date of exercise was $16,187, resulting in a decrease in the accrued share-based compensation liability and a stock-based compensation recovery of $34,563. The intrinsic value of SARs at the date of exercise was determined by multiplying the number of SARs exercised by the difference between the market price of common stock at the date of exercise and the exercise price of the SARs. The $16,187 intrinsic value of the SARs was applied against the exercise price of 87,500 stock options, exercisable at $0.50 per stock option, for a total exercise cost of $43,750. The remaining $27,563 exercise cost was extended as a promissory note receivable to the option holder (Note 4).

During 2008, 187,500 SARs expired resulting in the Company recording a recovery of $49,750 related to the vested SARs which was charged to equity on expiration.

During the year ending December 31, 2008, the Company granted 3,200,000 SARs to directors, officers and consultants of the Company at exercise prices of $0.50 per right with expiry dates ranging from April 2009 to April 2018. Of these SARs 3,100,000 vested immediately and 100,000 vest quarterly over a one year period. As at the year ended December 31, 2008, of the 100,000 unvested at grant date, 25,000 remain unvested. The Company estimated the fair value on granting of the 3,175,000 SARs by applying the fair value method using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using an expected life of one to ten years, a risk-free interest rates of 0.39% - 2% and an expected volatility of 130% - 180% resulting in a stock-based compensation expense of $154,793 of which $154,792 was expensed to December 31, 2008 and the remaining $1 will be expensed on vesting.

During the year ending December 31, 2007, the Company granted 3,885,000 SARs to directors, officers and consultants of the Company at exercise prices ranging from $0.35 - $0.50 per right with expiry dates ranging from April 26, 2008 to July 19, 2017. Of these SARs 3,185,000 vested immediately and 700,000 vest quarterly over a one year period. The Company estimated the fair value on granting of the 3,885,000 SARs by applying the fair value method using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using an expected life of one to ten years, a risk-free interest rate of 4.87% and an expected volatility of 116% - 117% resulting in a stock-based compensation expense of $1,413,000 of which $1,336,599 was expensed to December 31, 2007 and the remaining $76,401 will be expensed on vesting.

During 2007, 100,000 SARs expired after the resignation of a director.

NOTE 12 – STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS (CONTINUED)

In November, 2007, 3,160,000 SARs were exercised at exercise prices ranging from $0.35 - $0.50 per right. The fair value of the SARs on the dates of exercise was $2,248,500, resulting in an additional stock-based compensation expense of $911,901. The fair value at the date of exercise was determined by multiplying the number of SARs exercised by the difference between the market price of common stock at the date of exercise and the exercise price of the SARs.

During 2007, the total SARs liability of $2,248,500 was settled by the exercise of options and warrants held by certain holders where payment was applied against the SARs liability owing (a total of $2,095,920), cash of $2,500 and the issuance of 124,458 shares at the market price of $1.20 for $149,350, leaving a balance owing of $730.

At December 31, 2007 a total of 625,000 SARs granted were unexercised, of which 237,500 were unvested. The Company estimated the fair value of the 625,000 SARs at December 31, 2007 by applying the fair value method using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using an expected life of one-quarter to three years, a risk-free interest rate of 4.87% and an expected volatility of 116% - 117% resulting in a fair value of $285,250. This resulted in an additional stock-based compensation expense of $84,100 for a total of $199,500 accrued on vested and unexercised SARs at December 31, 2007, and an additional $9,349 for a total of $85,750 which will be expensed on vesting.

At December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company has an accrued liability of $421,250 related to the exercise of SARs by two officers of the Company in accordance with certain provisions for tax indemnities in the officers’ management consulting agreements.

The Company is committed to issue an aggregate of 16,575,000 additional SARs as per outstanding management and consulting agreements entered into during 2007.

NOTE 12 – STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS (CONTINUED)

At December 31, 2008 the Company has an outstanding liability on the vested portion of the outstanding SARs and the estimated fair value of the unvested portion of the SARs is $nil (2007 - $85,750). The Company has commitments to grant additional SARs to certain officers and directors. Refer to Note 14.

NOTE 13 – INCOME TAXES

As at December 31, 2008, the Company’s corporate entity in the USA has a net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $13 million that result in deferred tax asset. These loss carry-forwards will expire, if not utilized, through 2022. Net operating loss carry-forwards relating to the Company’s subsidiaries for the years 2001 to 2008 cannot reasonably be determined and have been excluded. Management believes that the realization of the benefits from these deferred tax assets is uncertain and accordingly, a full deferred tax asset valuation allowance has been provided and no deferred tax asset has been recorded.

The Company’s income tax provisions differ from the expected amounts determined by applying the appropriate combined effective tax rate to the Company’s net income before taxes. The significant components of these differences are as follows:

    December 31, 2008     December 31, 2007  
   
35%

Valuation allowance   1,000,196     2,032,673  
Income tax benefit $  (197,185 ) $  -  

The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant components of future income tax assets and liabilities are as follows:

    December 31,     December 31,  
    2008     2007  
             
Future income tax assets:            
                   Operating losses available for future periods $  4,497,070   $  3,500,000

Valuation allowance   (4,559,297 )   (3,559,101 )
             
Net deferred income tax assets $  -   $  -  

The Company has not filed income tax returns for several years for the consolidated group in the United States. The taxing authorities prescribe penalties for failing to file certain tax returns and supplemental disclosures. Upon filing there could be penalties and interest assessed. Such penalties vary by jurisdiction and by assessing practices and authorities. The Company expects to have significant net operating loss carry forwards for income tax purposes available to offset future taxable income.

On January 1, 2007 the Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standard Board Interpretation No. 48 ("FIN 48"), "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes- an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109". FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on the recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition associated with income tax liabilities. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, there was no impact in the consolidated financial statements or material FIN 48 liabilities.

NOTE 13 – INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED)

The provisions of SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," require the establishment of a valuation allowance when, based on currently available information and other factors, it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. SFAS No. 109 provides that an important factor in determining whether a deferred tax asset will be realized is whether there has been sufficient income in recent years and whether sufficient income is expected in future years in order to utilize the deferred tax asset. In 2008 and 2007, the Company determined, based upon its cumulative operating losses, that it was more likely than not that it would not be in a position to fully realize all of its domestic deferred tax assets in future year. Accordingly, at December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance of $4,559,297 and $3,559,101, respectively, which reduces the carrying value of its net deferred tax assets.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various state and foreign jurisdictions. The Company’s tax returns are subject to tax examinations by U.S. federal and state tax authorities, or examinations by foreign tax authorities until the respective statute of limitation. It is subject to tax examinations by tax authorities for all taxation years commencing on or after 1999. Management’s analysis of FIN 48 supports the conclusion that the Company does not have any accruals for uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2008. As a result, tabular reconciliation of beginning and ending balances would not be meaningful. If interest and penalties were to be assessed, we would charge interest to interest expense, and penalties to other operating expense. It is not anticipated that unrecognized tax benefits would significantly increase or decrease within 12 months of the reporting date.

Disclosure concerning certain carry-forward tax pools, temporary and permanent timing differences in tax basis versus reported amounts may be impacted by assessing practices and tax code regulations when income tax returns are filed up to date. As a 100% valuation allowance has been provided against deferred tax assets reported in these financial statements, there would be no significant net impact to the current and deferred income tax disclosures or reconciliations reported.

Although management is currently not able to make a measurable provision for possible liability for penalties and interest, if any, at this time, the Company may be liable for such amounts upon assessment.

NOTE 14 – CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS

Item 9A.        Controls and Procedures.

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, we have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this annual report, being December 31, 2008. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer.

Based on this evaluation, our company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as at December 31, 2008 were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in reports we file and submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required and that it is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

We have identified, developed and begun to implement remedial measures in light of the findings of our company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer assessment of the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting, to strengthen our company's disclosure controls and procedures. Our company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer are currently developing a plan and timetable for the implementation of remedial measures intended to strengthen our internal controls over financial reporting. Upon finalization and board approval of the plan, our company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer intend to implement the plan.

In light of the conclusion that our company's internal controls over financial reporting were ineffective as of December 31, 2008, we have applied procedures and processes as necessary to ensure the reliability of our financial reporting in regards to this annual report. Accordingly, management believes, based on its knowledge, that: (i) this annual report does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by this report; and (ii) the financial statements, and other financial information included in this annual report, fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows as at, and for, the periods presented in this annual report.

Management’s report on internal control over financial reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our company’s financial reporting for external purposes in accordance with United States accounting principles generally accepted. Our internal control over financial reporting includes maintaining records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and dispositions of our assets; providing reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary for preparation of our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles; providing reasonable assurance that receipts and expenditures are made in accordance with authorizations of management and our directors; and providing reasonable assurance that unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements would be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not provide absolute assurance that a misstatement of our financial statements would be prevented or detected.

In order to evaluate the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework and criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). This evaluation included review


- 31 -

of the documentation of controls, evaluation of the design effectiveness of controls, testing of the operating effectiveness of controls and a conclusion on this evaluation. Based upon that evaluation, we have concluded that, during the period covered by this report, such internal controls over financial reporting were not effective as of December 31, 2008, due to the existence of significant deficiencies constituting material weaknesses, as described in greater detail below. A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis

The matters involving internal controls and procedures that the Company’s management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were: (1) lack of a functioning audit committee and lack of a majority of independent directors on the Company’s board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; (2) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; (3) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements; and (4) ineffective internal control over financial reporting.

The aforementioned material weaknesses were identified by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer in connection with the audit of our financial statements as of December 31, 2008 and these findings were reported to our management and board of directors. Management of the Company believes that the material weaknesses set forth in (2), (3) and (4) above did not affect the Company’s financial results. However, management believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee and a lack of a majority of independent directors on the Company’s board of directors resulting in not effective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures can result in material deficiencies in the Company’s determination to its financial statements for future years.

We are committed to improving our financial organization. As part of this, we will create a position to segregate duties consistent with control objectives and will increase our personnel resources and technical accounting expertise within the accounting function when funds are available to the Company by doing the following: i) appointing one or more independent directors to our board of directors who shall additionally be appointed to the audit committee of the Company resulting in a fully functioning audit committee who will undertake the oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; and ii) preparing and implementing sufficient written policies and checklists which will set forth procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements.

Management believes that the appointment of one or more independent directors, who shall be appointed to a fully functioning audit committee, will remedy the lack of a functioning audit committee and a lack of a majority of independent directs on the Company’s board. In addition, management believes that preparing and implementing sufficient written policies and checklists will remedy that following material weaknesses: (i) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of the US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements; and (ii) ineffective controls over period end financial close and reporting processes.

Further, management believes that the hiring of additional personnel who have the technical expertise and knowledge will result in the proper segregation of duties and provide more checks and balances within the department. Additional personnel will also provide the cross training needed to support the Company if personnel turn-over issues within the department occur. This, coupled with the appointment of additional independent directors will greatly decrease any control and procedure issues that the Company may encounter in the future.

We will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and are committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities Exchange Commission that permit the company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Insider Trading Policy

On May 23, 2005, we adopted an insider trading policy ( the “Insider Trading Policy”). The establishment of the Insider Trading Policy allows us to assist our officers and directors to ensure compliance with federal securities laws which prohibit trading in the securities of a company on the basis of “inside” information. Our insiders and officers receive, as part of their compensation packages, shares of our restricted common stock for resale. Pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Insider Trading Policy, there are four blackout periods during which our directors and officers are prohibited from trading in our securities, these blackout periods begin on March 31st, June 30th, September 30th and December 31st of each fiscal year and end when two full trading days have passed on the N Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board stock market after we announce our results for the preceding fiscal period through quarterly and annual filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Audit Committee

As of the date of this annual report, we have not appointed members to an audit committee and, therefore, the respective role of an audit committee has been conducted by our board of directors. When established, the audit committee's primary function will be to provide advice with respect to our financial matters and to assist our board of directors in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities regarding finance, accounting, tax and legal compliance. The audit committee's primary duties and responsibilities will be to: (i) serve as an independent and objective party to monitor our financial reporting process and internal control system; (ii) review and appraise the audit efforts of our independent accountants; (iii) evaluate our quarterly financial performance as well as our compliance with laws and regulations; (iv) oversee management's establishment and enforcement of financial policies and business practices; and (v) provide an open avenue of communication among the independent accountants, management and our board of directors.

The board of directors has considered whether the regulatory provision of non-audit services is compatible with maintaining the principal independent accountant's independence.

Stock Option Plan

On July 23, 2004, our board of directors unanimously approved and adopted a 2004 stock option plan (the “Stock Option Plan”), which provides for the granting of up to 1,200,000 shares of common stock. The purpose of the Stock Option Plan is to advance our interests and the interests of our shareholders by affording our key personnel opportunity for investment and the incentive advantages inherent in stock ownership. Pursuant to the provisions of the Stock Option Plan, stock options (the “Stock Options”) will be granted only to our key personnel, generally defined as a person designated by our board of directors upon whose judgment, initiative and efforts we may rely including any of our directors, officers, employees or consultants.

The Stock Option Plan is to be administered by our board of directors, which shall determine: (i) the persons to be granted Stock Options under the Stock Option Plan; (ii) the number of shares subject to each option, the exercise price of each Stock Option; and (iii) whether the Stock Option shall be exercisable at any time during the option period of ten (10) years or whether the Stock Option shall be exercisable in installments or by vesting only. The Stock Option Plan provides authorization to our board of directors to grant Stock Options to purchase a total number of shares of our common stock, not to presently exceed 1,200,000 shares of common stock as at the date of adoption by our board of directors of the Stock Option Plan. At the time a Stock Option is granted under the Stock Option Plan, our board of directors shall fix and determine the exercise price at which shares of our common stock may be acquired; provided, however, that any such exercise price shall not be less than that permitted under the rules and policies of any stock exchange or over-the-counter market which is applicable to us.

In the event an optionee who is one of our directors or officers ceases to serve in that position, any Stock Option held by such optionee generally may be exercisable within up to ninety (90) calendar days after the effective date that his position ceases, and after such 90-day period any unexercised Stock Option shall expire. In the event an optionee who is one of our employees or consultants ceases to be employed by us, any Stock Option held by such optionee generally may be exercisable within up to sixty (60) calendar days (or up to thirty (30) calendar days where the optionee provided only investor relations services to the Company) after the effective date that his employment ceases, and after such 60- or 30-day period any unexercised Stock Option shall expire.

No Stock Options granted under the Stock Option Plan will be transferable by the optionee, and each Stock Option will be exercisable during the lifetime of the optionee subject to the option period of ten (10) years or limitations described above. Any Stock Option held by an optionee at the time of his death may be exercised by his estate within one (1) year of his death or such longer period as the board of directors may determine.

Unless restricted by the option agreement, the exercise price shall by paid by any of the following methods or any combination of the following methods: (i) in cash; (ii) non-forfeitable, unrestricted or restricted shares of common stock, which are already owned by the optionee and have a market referenced value at the time of exercise that is equal to the Option price; (iii) any other legal consideration that the board of directors may deem appropriate, including without limitation any for of consideration authorized on such basis as our board of directors may determine in accordance with the Stock Option Plan; and (iv) any combination of the foregoing. Our board of directors in its sole discretion may permit a so-called “cashless exercise” (net exercise of the Stock Options).


- 38 -

The Stock Option Plan further provides that, subject to the provisions of the Stock Option Plan and prior shareholder approval, our board of directors may grant to any of our key personnel who is an employee eligible to receive options one or more incentive stock options to purchase the number of shares of our common stock allotted by the board of directors (the “Incentive Stock Options”). The option price per share of our common stock deliverable upon the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option shall be no less than fair market value of a share of our common stock on the date of grant of the Incentive Stock Option. In accordance with the terms of the Stock Option Plan, “fair market value” of the Incentive Stock Option as of any date shall not be less than the closing price for the shares of our common stock on the last trading day preceding the date of grant. The option term of each Incentive Stock Option shall be determined by our board of directors, which shall not commence sooner than from the date of grant and shall terminate no later than ten (10) years from the date of grant of the Incentive Stock Option, subject to possible early termination as described above.

Performance Stock Incentive Plan

On March 6, 2006, our board of directors, pursuant to unanimous consent, approved the adoption of a performance stock incentive plan – 2006 (the “Performance Stock Incentive Plan”) with an effective date of March 1, 2006 (the “Effective Date”), pursuant to which shares of our restricted common stock will be allocated and issued into escrow in the record name of certain officers, directors and/or employees/consultants as incentives at an original issue price of $0.001 par value per share (the “Escrowed Performance Shares”). The board of directors deemed adoption and approval of the Performance Stock Incentive Plan to be in our best interests and those interests of our shareholders based upon an analysis of several factors including, but not limited to the following: (i) to retain and attract the best available personnel as our directors, management, advisers and consultants of the Company (the “Participants”) to enhance the continued successful performance to date of our operational business plan by management; (ii) to create inducements and incentives for the Participants based on achievement of certain performance criteria to encourage maximization of our further operational success and growth, thus creating substantial value for our shareholders; (iii) to provide our management with a measure of control to ensure continuity and successful future performance of our operational business plan goals; and (iv) to simultaneously create combined operational efficiency of incentives for our management and enhancement of our capital by associated realization costs. Based upon the terms and provisions of the Performance Stock Incentive Plan:

  (i)

an aggregate of 700,000 Escrowed Performance Shares can be purchased from escrow by a participant (the “Participant”) at a price of $2.50 per share commencing one year from the Effective Date for up to five years;

     
  (ii)

an aggregate of 900,000 Escrowed Performance Shares can be purchased from escrow by a Participant at a price of $5.00 per share on or before the first three years after the Effective Date, if our assets increase by 50%, the market share price of our common stock achieves a minimum of $6.25, and our financial statements reflect a minimum $3,000,000 profit before taxes, depletion, amortization and stock based compensation charges;

     
  (iii)

an aggregate of 1,200,000 Escrowed Performance Shares can be purchased from escrow by a Participant at a price of $6.25 per share on or before the first five years after the Effective Date, if our assets increase by 100%, the market share price of our common stock achieves a minimum of $10.00, and our financial statements show a minimum $6,000,000 profit before taxes, depletion, amortization and stock based compensation charges;

     
  (iv)

an aggregate of 1,500,000 Escrowed Performance Shares can be purchased from escrow by a Participant at a price of $7.50 per share on or before the first seven years after the Effective Date, if our assets increase by 200%, the market share price of our common stock achieves a minimum of $15.00, and our financial statements show a minimum of $9,000,000 profit before taxes, depletion, amortization and stock based compensation charges; and

     
  (v)

an aggregate of 1,700,000 Escrowed Performance Shares can be purchased from escrow by a Participant at a price of $10.00 per share on or before the termination date, if our assets increase by 400%, the market share price of our common stock achieves a minimum of $20.00, and our financial statements show a minimum of $15,000,000 profit before taxes, depletion, amortization and stock based compensation charges.



- 39 -

The Escrowed Performance Shares shall participate as to all the rights of a shareholder, including voting rights, except that until earned and paid from escrow, the Escrowed Performance Shares shall not participate in dividends, assets or other distributions. The Escrowed Performance Shares can be purchased by the Participant: (i) cash; (ii) shares of common stock which are already owned by the participant and have an aggregate market referenced value as determined by the board; (iii) any other legal consideration that the board may deem appropriate; and (iv) a cashless exercise based upon a certain formula. Any Escrowed Performance Shares not earned during the specified time frame set forth above may be carried forward. At termination of the Performance Stock Incentive Plan, all Escrowed Performance Shares not earned will be cancelled and returned to treasury.

At December 31, 2008, a total of 6,000,000 performance shares are unvested and may be purchased from escrow at a price ranging from $2.50 to $10.00 per share, based on the Company’s common stock achieving a minimum market price ranging from $6.25 to $20.00 per share and the Company’s assets increasing by a minimum of 50% to 400%. No stock-based compensation has been recorded on the unvested escrow performance shares as it is not probable that performance conditions will be met.

On July 18, 2006, our board of directors, pursuant to unanimous consent, approved the adoption of an “Equity Incentive Plan” (the “EIP”), that provides for the granting of specific awards (the “Awards), whereby the maximum aggregate number of shares of our common stock that may be issued and sold under all Awards granted under the EIP shall be equal to 20% of the issued and outstanding common stock (on a fully diluted basis) on the date of any particular grant. To date we have registered 2,000,000 common shares under a Form S-8 Registration Statement filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission under the EIP. Additionally, during 2007 we granted a total of 4,765,000 options at prices ranging from $0.25 to $0.57 and a total of 3,885,000 stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) at prices ranging from $0.35 to $0.50 under the EIP. During 2007, 3,157,822 SARs were exercised for a total amount of proceeds due by us to the grantees of $2,248,500, those amounts of which were used to offset the costs associated with the exercise of 2,707,822 options. We are committed during 2009 to grant to officers, directors and senior management of our company an aggregate 3,650,000 options and 3,650,000 SARs. Over the course of the remaining terms of contracts entered into by us for specific officers and senior management, we are committed to grant 13,975,000 options and 13,975,000 SARs inclusive of the 2008 commitments described above.

Item 12.        Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters.

Beneficial Ownership

We have set forth in the following table certain information regarding our shares of common stock beneficially owned for: (i) each shareholder we know to be the beneficial owner of 5% or more of shares of our common stock; (ii) each of our executive officers and directors; and (iii) all executive officers and directors as a group. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a person, we have included shares for which the named person has sole or shared power over voting or investment decisions. Except as otherwise noted below, the number of shares beneficially owned includes common stock which the named person has the right to acquire, through conversion or option exercise, or otherwise, within 60 days after March 31, 2008. Beneficial ownership calculations for 5% stockholders are based solely on publicly filed Schedule 13Ds or 13Gs, which 5% stockholders are required to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. As of May 15, 2009, we had 39,009,465 common shares issued and outstanding.

To the best of our knowledge, there are no voting arrangements with any of our other shareholders.

Corporate Governance

We currently act with two (2) directors, consisting of Sacha H. Spindler and Justin Perryman.

We have determined that Justin Perryman is an independent director, as that term is used in Rule 4200(a)(15) of the Rules of NASDAQ Market Place Rules.


- 44 -

Currently our audit committee consists of our entire board of directors. We currently do not have nominating, compensation committees or committees performing similar functions. There has not been any defined policy or procedure requirements for shareholders to submit recommendations or nomination for directors.

Audit Committee Financial Expert

Our board of directors has determined that it does not have a member of its audit committee who qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-B, and is “independent” as the term is used in Item 7(d)(3)(iv) of Schedule 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

From inception to present date, we believe that the members of our audit committee and the board of directors have been and are collectively capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting.

Item 14.        Principal Accountant Fees and Services.

Audit Fees

The aggregate fees billed by BDO Dunwoody LLP for professional services rendered for the audit of our annual financial statements, for review of our quarterly interim financial statements and in connection with statutory and regulatory filings were approximately $53,564 for the year ended December 31, 2008. This category also includes the review of interim financial statements and services in connection with registration statements and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Audit Related Fees

For the year ended December 31, 2008, BDO Dunwoody LLP billed $2,085 for fees relating to the performance of the audit of our financial statements which are not reported under the caption “Audit Fees” above.

Tax Fees

For the year ended December 31, 2008, BDO Dunwoody LLP billed $Nil, for fees for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning services.

All Other Fees

For the year ended December 31, 2008, BDO Dunwoody LLP billed $Nil, for other fees.

Effective May 6, 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted rules that require that before BDO Dunwoody LLP is engaged by us to render any auditing or permitted non-audit related service, the engagement be:

  • approved by our audit committee; or

  • entered into pursuant to pre-approval policies and procedures established by the board of directors, provided the policies and procedures are detailed as to the particular service, the board of directors is informed of each service, and such policies and procedures do not include delegation of the board of directors' responsibilities to management.

Our audit committee pre-approves all services provided by our independent auditors. All of the above services and fees were reviewed and approved by the audit committee either before or after the respective services were rendered.

The audit committee has considered the nature and amount of fees billed by BDO Dunwoody LLP and believes that the provision of services for activities unrelated to the audit is compatible with maintaining BDO Dunwoody LLP’s independence.
