PART I.

ITEM 1.      DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.

History and Overview

Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “we,” “our,” “us” and the “Company” refers to Patch International Inc. and its subsidiaries.

We were incorporated as Praxis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. on June 20, 1997 under the laws of the State of Nevada (“Praxis-Nevada”).  Our business was the development and commercialization of non-prescription therapeutics and nutraceuticals designed to prevent inflammation and their sequelae, and the development of cosmetics for skin conditions.  In June 1998, Praxis-Nevada engaged in a reverse acquisition transaction with Micronetics, Inc., a company incorporated in Utah on December 31, 1981, where the stockholders of Praxis-Nevada gained control over Micronetics.  Micronetics then changed its name to Praxis Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“Pharmaceuticals”).  Immediately after the reverse acquisition transaction, the stockholders of Praxis-Nevada held approximately 98% of the outstanding shares of Pharmaceuticals.  Praxis-Nevada was merged into Pharmaceuticals effective June 30, 2002, thereby eliminating Praxis-Nevada as a subsidiary of Pharmaceuticals.

Pharmaxis Ltd.  A wholly owned Australian subsidiary, Praxis Pharmaceuticals Australia Pty. Ltd. (ACN 082 811 630) was formed in May 1998 as a private company.  In October 1999, an equity investment was made in this subsidiary by Rothschild Bioscience Managers Limited (now known as GBS Venture Partners Ltd), which reduced Pharmaceuticals’ equity ownership to 35%.  The funds raised were used for the development of autoimmune disease research licensed from Anutech Pty Ltd, the development arm of the Australian National University.  Praxis-Australia changed its name to “Pharmaxis Ltd” in June 2002.  An additional equity investment was made in Pharmaxis in August 2002, which reduced Pharmaceuticals’ equity ownership to 19.6%.  Pharmaceuticals’ equity ownership was further reduced to 10.4% upon completion of an initial public offering by Pharmaxis in November 2003.  Pharmaxis is listed on the Australian Stock Exchange under the symbol “PXS.”  Pharmaxis is a specialist pharmaceutical company committed to the research, development and commercialization of human therapeutic products for chronic respiratory and autoimmune diseases and the development of an improved lung function test.  We have sold all of our shares in Pharmaxis to fund our business and the purchase of oil sands properties in Alberta, Canada, described below.

Patch Energy Inc.  We did not generate any revenues from product sales, royalties or license fees in our pharmaceutical business.  Due to our inability of to obtain funding and/or partners to pursue our pharmaceutical projects, we decided to seek other business opportunities.  On October 20, 2003, we entered into an arrangement agreement to acquire Patch Energy Inc., which at the time was a privately-held company existing under the Canada Business Corporations Act (“Energy”).  Energy’s principal business was the exploration, development and production of oil and natural gas reserves through participation in farmout arrangements.  Energy’s main focus had been on its assets located in the Kerrobert area in the Province of Saskatchewan, Canada.

As of March 15, 2004, we consummated the arrangement agreement with Energy under which we acquired Energy in a stock-for-stock transaction.  As a result of the acquisition, Energy became our wholly owned subsidiary.  On June 15, 2004, we changed our domicile to Nevada and changed our name to Patch International Inc.  The acquisition has been treated for accounting purposes as an acquisition by Energy of our net assets and liabilities.  Because Energy has been deemed to be the purchaser for accounting purposes, the consolidated financial statements are presented as a continuation of Energy and include the results of operations of Energy since incorporation on February 11, 2002, and the results of operations of International since the date of acquisition on March 15, 2004.


5


Patch Oilsands Ltd.  On February 3, 2006, we, through Energy, formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Patch Oilsands Ltd. (“Oilsands”) in the Province of British Columbia.  On February 27, 2006, we formed a Canadian limited partnership, Patch Oilsands Limited Partnership (the “Partnership”), of which we owned a 75% interest and Oilsands was the general partner.  The minority limited partners of the Partnership were Habanero Resources Inc. (“Habanero”), owning 20.833%, and Micron Enviro Systems (“Micron”), owning a 4.1667% interest.  The purpose of the Partnership was to pursue the acquisition, exploration and development of land or other property interests primarily in the Alberta Oil Sands area of Canada.  On March 8, 2007, we sold our interest in Oilsands and the Partnership to Great Northern Oilsands Inc.  For more discussion of the sale, see Sale of Properties to Great Northern below.

Damascus Energy Inc.  On December 15, 2006, we entered into a share exchange agreement with Damascus Energy Inc., a private Alberta corporation and related party (“Damascus”), the stockholders of Damascus, and Energy, providing for the acquisition of Damascus.  Damascus was a related party because Michael S. Vandale, our then President, Chief Executive Officer and a director, was the president of Damascus and was a director of Energy.  We acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Damascus in consideration for one share of our Class A Preferred Voting Stock and 9,426,489 shares of Series A Preferred Stock of Energy (the “Exchangeable Shares”).  The share of Class A Preferred Voting Stock entitles its holder to vote that number of shares of our common stock into which the Exchangeable Shares issued in conjunction with the preferred share and at that time outstanding are then exchangeable on any matter to be voted upon by the holders of our common stock.  The Exchangeable Shares are exchangeable without further consideration for 9,426,489 shares of our common stock.  As a result of the share exchange, we acquired Damascus as a wholly owned subsidiary.

By acquiring Damascus, we received the right to earn up to an 80% working interest in land located in the Fort McMurray area of central Alberta, Canada (the “Dover Oil Sands Project”) under a farmout agreement between Damascus and Bounty Developments Ltd. (“Bounty”).  The Dover Oil Sands Project consists of 32 contiguous square miles of land approximately 40 miles northwest of Fort McMurray, representing 20,840 acres.  We earned an initial 30% undivided working interest in the Dover Oil Sands Project in exchange for payment of $6,479,915 (CAD$7,581,500) to Bounty, reimbursement to Bounty for all expenditures made to date on the project totalling $522,650 (CAD $611,500), and issuance of 4,341,489 Exchangeable Shares to Bounty.  All of the shares were issued to Bounty.

Under the agreement, to earn an additional 50% in the project, we were required to spud 16 evaluation wells and complete of a 2D seismic program on or before March 31, 2007.  As of April 16, 2007, we satisfied all the conditions required under the farmout agreement, earning an 80% working interest in the Dover Oil Sands Project.

1289307 Alberta Ltd.  On January 16, 2007, we entered into a share exchange agreement with 1289307 Alberta Ltd. (“1289307”), a private corporation incorporated under the laws of Alberta, the stockholders of 1289307, and Energy, providing for the acquisition of 1289307.  We acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of 1289307 in consideration for one share of our Class B Preferred Voting Stock and 500,000 Exchangeable Shares.  The share of Class B Preferred Voting Stock entitles its holder to vote that number of shares of our common stock into which the Exchangeable Shares issued in conjunction with the preferred share and at that time outstanding are then exchangeable on any matter to be voted upon by the holders of our common stock.  The Exchangeable Shares are exchangeable without further consideration for 500,000 shares of our common stock.  We also assumed 1289307’s $1,000,000 promissory note payable to 1286664 Alberta Ltd., a related party.  In addition, under the terms of the Firebag Oil Sands agreement, 1289307 assumed an obligation of $4,393,140 (CAD$5,100,000).  Since 1289307 had an obligation for this payment prior to our acquisition, the costs have been recorded as part of the initial purchase price of 1289307.  As a result of the share exchange, we acquired 1289307 as a wholly owned subsidiary.


6


By acquiring 1289307, we received the right to earn up to a 75% working interest in 18 square miles of land, representing 11,520 acres, located in Townships 91-92, Range 2 W4M (the “Firebag Oil Sands Project”), in the Fort McMurray area of central Alberta, Canada, pursuant to a farmout agreement with Bounty.  We earned an initial 25% working interest in the Firebag Oil Sands Project by making payments to Bounty in the amount $4,393,140 (CAD$5,100,000).  Under the agreement we had the right to earn an additional 50% working interest by (i) spudding 8 evaluation wells and completing a 2D seismic program on the property on or before March 31, 2007, (ii) paying Bounty $2,153,500 (CAD$2,500,000) on or before April 1, 2007, (ii) spudding 4 additional evaluation wells on or before April 1, 2008, and (iv) and completing another 2D seismic program on the property on or before March 31, 2008.  We were able to spud 3 evaluation wells before March 31, 2007 and we paid Bounty the $2,153,500 (CAD$2,500,000).  We negotiated a compromise with Bounty and the remaining requirements to earn the additional 50% working interest were waived.  In exchange for the waiver of the remaining requirements under the farmout agreement, we agreed that Bounty’s 25% working interest in the Firebag Oil Sands Project would be a carried interest until we have spent an additional $1,500,000 on exploration (drilling and seismic evaluation) expenses.  As of April 16, 2007, we earned the full 75% working interest in the Firebag Oil Sands Project.

Effective June 1, 2007, Damascus and 1289307 were merged into Energy and ceased to exist as separate entities.

Sale of Properties to Great Northern.  On March 8, 2007, we executed an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Great Northern Oilsands Inc. (“Great Northern”), whereby we sold the majority of our inventory of conventional oil and gas assets (the “Assets”).

On March 8, 2007, prior to the execution of the Agreement, Oilsands, as general partner for the Partnership, executed an Assignment of Lease (the “Assignment”) in our favor.  Under the Assignment, the Partnership distributed three Crown oil sands leases in the Muskwa area of Alberta, comprising four sections (1,024 hectares) under a 15-year lease with annual rental payable to the Alberta Crown of CAD$3.50 per hectare and Crown royalties on production, to the Partnership’s members in proportion to their partnership interests.  As a result of the pro-rata distribution, we received a 75% interest in the Muskwa property.

In connection with the Assignment, we entered into two Declarations of Trust with Habanero and Micron under which we hold the 20.833% and 4.167% interests in the Muskwa property held by Habanero and Micron, respectively, in trust for them.  We plan to continue to develop the Muskwa properties according to the plans for development that existed previously.

We received $86,510 (CAD$100,000) as a non-refundable deposit, $1,816,710 (CAD$2,100,000) (1,000,000 restricted shares) in Great Northern common stock, and $692,080 (CAD$800,000) on the closing date as payment from Great Northern pursuant to the Agreement.  The Agreement provided for adjustment of the sales price at June 30, 2007 for any of the following: (i) all revenues and expenses accrued prior to March 8, 2007 were paid to and borne by us; (ii) all revenues and expenses accrued after March 8, 2007 will paid to and borne by Great Northern; and (iii) all mineral taxes, surface and mineral lease rental payments, or similar payments made by us prior to March 8, 2007 were apportioned, according to the respective holding periods, between us and Great Northern as of March 8, 2007.   However, the dollar amount of the adjustment was determined to be insignificant and no adjustment was made.

The Agreement provided for the sale of the majority of our conventional petroleum and natural gas rights and all other tangible property and assets used in connection with these petroleum and natural gas rights, and other miscellaneous interests associated with the petroleum and natural gas rights.


7


The properties sold consisted of all of our holdings in the following areas:
·    
Kerrobert, Saskatchewan, Canada;
·    
Cecil, Alberta, Canada
·    
Lloydminster, Alberta, Canada;
·    
Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada;
·    
Eight Mile, British Columbia, Canada; and
·    
Certain assets in the Leismer Area, Alberta, Canada.

We retained the following: (i) all petroleum substances produced by the Assets prior to the sale; (ii) all accounts receivables accruing or attributable to the activity of the Assets prior the sale; (iii) all assets held by our wholly owned subsidiaries, including the Dover Oil Sands Project and the Firebag Oil Sands Project; and (iv) the Muskwa property distributed to us, Habanero, and Micron prior to the closing of the Agreement.

Recent Financing Activity.  In December 2006, we completed a financing of 3,240,000 common shares at CAD$1.00 per share on a flow-through basis resulting in gross proceeds of approximately $2,798,400, and in February 2007, we completed a private placement of 8,302,000 Non-Flow-Through Special Warrants at $1.50 per Special Warrant and 4,653,750 Flow-Through Special Warrants at $1.65 per Flow-Through Special Warrant for gross proceeds of $20,131,687.  We used the proceeds to fund development of the Dover Oil Sands Project, Firebag Oil Sands Project, and the Muskwa Leases and intend to continue to develop those properties with the remaining funds.  We fulfilled our earning obligations and have an 80% working interest in the Dover Oil Sands Project and a 75% working interest in the Firebag Oil Sands Project.

In February 2007, we sold 4,653,750 “Flow-Through Special Warrants” and 8,302,000 “Non-Flow-Through Special Warrants.”  Each Flow-Through Special Warrant entitles the holder to acquire, for no additional consideration, one share of our common stock.  Each Non-Flow-Through Special Warrant entitles the holder to acquire, for no additional consideration, one Unit.  Each Unit consists of one share of our common stock and one common share Bonus Warrant (the “Bonus Warrants”).  Each Bonus Warrant entitles the holder to receive, without additional consideration, up to 0.10 shares of our common stock, if we do not complete certain filings on or before April 28, 2007 and we do not: (i) become a “reporting issuer” in any province or territory of Canada; (ii) have a registration statement declared effective in the United States; and (iii) have our common stock listed on the TSX Venture Exchange or Toronto Stock Exchange on or before September 25, 2007.  As of August 17, 2007, the Bonus Warrants can be converted  without additional consideration into 166,040 shares of our common stock.

Also in February 2007, we issued non-transferable warrants to purchase up to 762,645 shares of our common stock to our sales agents that participated in the sale of the Flow-Through Special Warrants and the Non-Flow-Through Special Warrants (the “Agents’ Warrants”).  The Agents’ Warrants are exercisable at $1.50 per share on the later of: (i) February 27, 2008; and (ii) six months from the date the securities issued under the private placement are free from trading restrictions in the United States and Canada but no later than February 27, 2009 (the “Warrants”).

The Oil Sands Industry

Our main focus is on producing oil through oil sands leases, located in Alberta, Canada.  Oil sands are a geological formation in the Athabasca region of northern Alberta, Canada.  Oil sands are a viscous mixture of sand, bitumen, clay and water with the consistency of cold molasses and according to the Alberta Economic Development Authority,  Alberta’s oil sands are believed to contain the equivalent of 315 billion barrels of oil, of which 175 billion have already been established as commercially viable using today’s extraction methods.  Alberta’s oil sands currently account for about 39% of Canada’s total petroleum production of approximately 1 million barrels per day and production is expected to grow to 4 million barrels per day by 2020.  Surface mining methods account for approximately two-thirds of current production in the oil sands region


8


Bitumen-bearing geologic formations, typically containing up to 18 percent bitumen saturation by weight, can be situated near the surface or hundreds of feet below.  Recovery of oil sands from formations up to 75 meters is by open-pit mining; for deeper formations, in-situ recovery techniques such as steam-assisted gravity drainage (“SAGD”) are used.  With SAGD, pairs of horizontal wells (an upper well and a lower well) are drilled into an oil sands formation and steam is injected continuously into the upper well.  As the steam heats the oil sands formation, the bitumen softens and drains into the lower well, from which it is produced to the surface.

Development in the oil sands industry in Canada to date has been focused primarily in Alberta.  The Alberta Energy Utilities Board estimates that there are 1.6 trillion barrels of bitumen resource in place in Alberta, of which 315 billion barrels are thought to be recoverable.  Exploration for commercially viable oil sands deposits has traditionally focused on Alberta, resulting in the establishment of mining and in-situ projects in the Athabasca oil sands region and in-situ projects in Cold Lake and Peace River deposits.  The lead-time for production from an oil sands project is generally a minimum of seven to ten years from initial exploration.

Competition

Oil sands exploration and acquisition of undeveloped properties is a highly competitive and speculative business.  We compete with a number of other companies, including major oil companies and other independent operators which are more experienced and which have greater financial resources.  We do not hold a significant competitive position in the oil and gas industry.

Governmental Approval, Regulation and Environmental Issues

Our oil and gas operations are subject to various federal, provincial and local governmental regulations.  Matters subject to regulation include discharge permits for drilling operations, drilling and abandonment bonds, reports concerning operations, the spacing of wells, and pooling of properties and taxation.  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.  The production, handling, storage, transportation and disposal of oil and gas, by-products thereof, and other substances and materials produced or used in connection with oil and gas operations are also subject to regulation under federal, state, provincial and local laws and regulations relating primarily to the protection of human health and the environment.  To date, expenditures related to complying with these laws, and for remediation of existing environmental contamination, have not been significant in relation to our results of operations.  The requirements imposed by such laws and regulations are frequently changed and subject to interpretation, and we are unable to predict the ultimate cost of compliance with these requirements or their effect on our operations.

In Alberta, oil sands activities are legislated under the Mines & Minerals Act that governs the management and disposition of rights in Crown owned mines and minerals, including the levying and collecting of bonuses, rental and royalties.  Future legislative changes pertaining to the royalty structure, under the Mines & Mineral Act, could have a material impact on the energy sector including oil sands companies.  The Oil Sands Conservation Act establishes a regulatory regime and scheme of approvals administered by the Alberta Energy Utilities Board for the development oil sands resources and related facilities in Alberta.  The Acts are supported by the following regulations:  Oil Sands Tenure Regulation, Oil Sands Royalty Regulation 1984, Oil Sands Royalty Regulation 1997, Experimental Oil Sands Royalty Regulation, OilSands Conservation Regulation, and Mines and Minerals Administration Regulation.  Each provincial jurisdiction also maintains specific royalty regimes that will be applied to all oil sands and oil shale development projects consistent with other resource developments.


9


We are subject to laws and regulations that control the discharge of materials into the environment, require removal and cleanup in certain circumstances, require the proper handling and disposal of waste materials or otherwise relate to the protection of the environment.  In operating and owning petroleum interests, we may be liable for damages and the costs of removing hydrocarbon spills for which we would be held responsible.  Laws relating to the protection of the environment have in many jurisdictions become more stringent in recent years and may, in certain circumstances, impose strict liability, rendering us liable for environmental damage without regard to actual negligence or fault.  Such laws and regulations may expose us to liability for the conduct of, or conditions caused by, others or for our own acts.  We believe that we have complied in all material respects with applicable environmental laws and regulations.

Employees

As of May 31, 2007, we had 5 full-time employees.

Our opportunity for success depends largely upon the efforts, abilities, and decision-making of our directors and executive officers.  The loss any of our key personnel could, to varying degrees, have an adverse effect on our operations and research and development efforts.  The loss of any one of them would have a material adverse effect on our business and us.  We do not currently maintain “key-man” life insurance on our executive officers.


ITEM 2.   DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY.

Fort McMurray Oil Sands Area

Our Fort McMurray oil sands area leases consist of 32 gross sections (25.6 net sections) in the Ells River area (formerly referred to as Dover) and 18 gross sections (13.5 net sections) in the Firebag Oil Sands Project.  The Ells River Oil Sands Project comprises three separate parcels:  Ells North (12 gross sections), Ells Central (15 gross sections), and Ells South (5 gross sections).  The Firebag Oil Sands Project comprises a single parcel.

During this past winter, we shot a collective 64 miles of seismic and drilled 19 holes in the Ells River area, consisting of 15 holes in Ells North, and 4 holes in Ells Central.  No exploration was done over the Ells South parcel.  In Firebag, 3 core holes were drilled.  Upon conclusion of the drilling and seismic program, we used the obtained data and engaged Kade Technologies to perform reservoir modeling to ascertain the feasibility of an SAGD project with the acquired geologic and reservoir data.  The results of the Kade Tecnhologies reservoir model were used in our independent engineering appraisal performed by McDaniel & Associates.

We also concluded an environmental baseline study over a 6 square mile area to ascertain the current status of the water, vegetation, soil and air quality.  This study will be incorporated in our environmental impact discussion as part of our planned SAGD pilot application.

Going forward, we will continue to focus on the development of our oil sands lease within the Ells River area.  The activity will focus on further exploration, delineation and development of the Ells River land in preparation for a comprehensive SAGD pilot application to be submitted to the Alberta Energy and Utilities Board and Alberta Environment as early as summer 2008.  In addition to the exploration, we will also perform a series of tests to ascertain a viable source for water as part of the SAGD pilot application and development plans.

We require significant additional financing to facilitate our 2007-2008 exploration program, which will likely include drilling of additional core holes and a seismic program which may consist of a combination of 2D and 3D seismic data.  Management believes that obtaining a listing on the TSX Venture exchange will improve the visibility of the company and its chances for obtaining additional financing.  We do not have any commitments or developed plans for additional financing as of this date.

In townships 85/86 and ranges 24/25W4, we have 10 gross sections (7.5 net) of oil sands leases in the Muskwa area.  This property has not yet been assessed.  The bitumen viscosity here is lower and therefore “conventional” production technology may be amenable.  Operators to the southeast have had success utilizing horizontal wells and polymer-water flooding to produce the bitumen.  Five existing wells confirm the presence of bitumen-saturated sand on the lease.  Geoscience and reservoir engineering work will be conducted to assess the potential for development.  We intend to conduct further exploration of the Muskwa property, which may include drilling and testing oil samples for viscosity and pressure transient analysis.

Principal Products and Distribution Methods

We were involved in exploration activities to locate natural gas and crude petroleum.  We produced light crude oil in Saskatchewan and Alberta, Canada for properties that were sold to Great Northern in March 2007.  Such products were generally sold at the wellhead to purchasers in the immediate area where the products are produced.

Currently, we are involved in oil sands development and oil production in Alberta, Canada.  We have not yet produced or sold any oil from our oil sands operations.

Company Reserve Estimates

No estimates of total, proved net oil or gas reserves have been filed with or included in reports to any federal authority or agency.

Volume, Prices and Operating Expenses

We generated a majority of our production from the properties sold to Great Northern.  As of May 31, 2007, we retained less than 15% of any active oil producing properties.  The following table presents information regarding the production volumes, average sales prices received, and average production costs associated with our sales of oil for the periods indicated:

Previous Drilling Activity

Oil Sands Properties.  Drilling activity was concentrated at the Ells River area with the drilling of 15 new core holes on the Ells North parcel.  Based on the results of this data combined with recent land sale activity and drilling activity on adjacent lands, management believes early indications support the assertion that there is both adequate resource potential and a high probability for commercial development at Ells North.


11


Drilling at Ells Central consisted of 4 new core holes on this parcel.  Based on the preliminary oil sands observed in these core holes, management believes there is additional delineation and development potential in the 2007-2008 drilling program.

Properties Sold to Great Northern.  During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2005, we relinquished our rights to our working interest in the East Corning Project in California.  The test well in the Manahuilla Creek Project was shut-in as it was not commercially viable.

During fiscal year ended May 31, 2006, we participated in the Bear Canyon Project and McLeod Project in Alberta, Canada.  The Bear Canyon well was not economic.  One McLeod well entered production in October of 2005 and a second well was shut-in as it was not commercially viable.

During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2007, we participated in several projects that were drilled: the drilling and casing of a well back to a secondary target at Rich/Rumsey area of Alberta, Canada; the drilling and fracturing of a well at Halkirk, Alberta; the drilling of a well at Atlee-Buffalo and casing it back to a secondary target; the drilling and logging of a well in a Medicine Hat area of Alberta, Canada; the evaluation of a drilled core hole in the Liesmer area of Alberta, Canada; and the drilling of two tight gas wells in the Eight Mile area of Alberta, Canada, the first of which was abandoned and second well was cased.

Present and Planned Activities

We intend to continue to focus on the oil sands lease development within the Ells River area as described above.  The activity will focus on further exploration, delineation and development of the Ells River asset in preparation for a comprehensive SAGD pilot plant application to the Alberta Energy and Utilities Board and Alberta Environment as early as summer 2008.  In addition to the exploration, we will also need to perform a series of tests to ascertain the viable source for water as part of the SAGD application and development plans.  Also, we intend to do exploration within the Muskwa property that may include drilling and testing of oil samples for viscosity and pressure transient analysis.

Office Space

Our executive offices are located at Suite 300, 441 – 5th Avenue, Calgary, Alberta Canada T2P 2V1.  This space accommodates all of its executive and administrative offices.  We pay rent monthly in the amount of $12,201 (CAD$13,866).

ITEM 6.    MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the related notes included in this annual report.  This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.  Our actual results could differ significantly from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including those discussed in “Risk Factors,”  “Business” and elsewhere in this report.

Overview

Our business originally was the development and commercialization of non-prescription therapeutics and nutraceuticals designed to prevent inflammation and their sequelae, and the development of cosmetics for skin conditions.  We did not generate any revenues from product sales, royalties or license fees.  Due to our inability to obtain funding and/or partners to pursue our pharmaceutical projects, we decided to seek other business opportunities.  We retained minority ownership in a former subsidiary, Pharmaxis Ltd.  Pharmaxis Ltd. conducted an initial public offering in November 2003 and its shares are listed on the Australian Stock Exchange.  In 2005, we began selling our shares of Pharmaxis Ltd. to fund our operations.  At February 28, 2007, we no longer owned any shares of Pharmaxis Ltd.

In March 2004, we consummated an arrangement agreement with Patch Energy Inc. (“Energy”) through which we acquired Energy, then a privately held oil and gas company continued under the laws of Canada, in a stock-for-stock transaction.  As a result of the acquisition, Energy became our wholly owned subsidiary.  In the arrangement, each issued common share of Energy was exchanged for one share of our common stock.

The acquisition was treated for accounting purposes as an acquisition by Energy of our net assets and liabilities.  Because Energy was deemed to be the purchaser for accounting purposes, the consolidated financial statements have been presented as a continuation of Energy and include the results of operations of Energy since incorporation on February 11, 2002, and our results of operations since the date of acquisition on March 15, 2004.

In February 2006, we, through Energy, formed a new subsidiary, Patch Oilsands Ltd. (“Oilsands”), and Patch Oilsands Limited Partnership (“Partnership”) in which we owned 75% of the Limited Partnership units.  Oilsands managed the Partnership in its capacity as general partner.

On December 15, 2006, we completed our acquisition of Damascus Energy Inc., a private Alberta corporation (“Damascus”) and related party.  By acquiring Damascus, we received the right to earn up to an 80% working interest in 32 contiguous square miles of land located in the Fort McMurray area of central Alberta, Canada (the “Dover Oil Sands Project”) under a farmout agreement between Damascus and Bounty Developments Ltd. (“Bounty”).

On January 16, 2007, we completed our acquisition of 1289307 Alberta Ltd. (“1289307”), a private corporation incorporated under the laws of Alberta.  By acquiring 1289307, we received the right to earn up to a 75% working interest in 18 square miles of 100% owned land, representing 11,520 acres, located in Townships 91-92, Range 2 W4M (the “Firebag Oil Sands Project”), in the Fort McMurray area of central Alberta, Canada, pursuant to a farmout agreement with Bounty.   We also assumed a $1,000,000 Promissory Note payable to 1286664 Alberta Ltd., a company wholly owned by Michael S. Vandale, our then President and our current Chairman of the Board of Directors.  In addition, under the terms of the Firebag Oil Sands agreement, 1289307 assumed an obligation of $4,393,140 (CAD$5,100,000).  Since 1289307 had an obligation for this payment prior to our acquisition, the costs have been recorded as part of the initial purchase price of 1289307.


14


In December 2006, we completed a financing of 3,240,000 common shares at CAD$1.00 per share on a flow-through basis resulting in gross proceeds of approximately $2,798,400, and in February 2007, we completed a private placement of 8,302,000 Non-Flow-Through Special Warrants at $1.50 per Special Warrant and 4,653,750 Flow-Through Special Warrants at $1.65 per Flow-Through Special Warrant for gross proceeds of $20,131,687.  We used the proceeds to fund development of the Dover Oil Sands Project, Firebag Oil Sands Project, and the Muskwa Leases and intend to continue to develop those properties with the remaining funds.  We fulfilled our earning obligations and have an 80% working interest in the Dover Oil Sands Project and a 75% working interest in the Firebag Oil Sands Project.

Also in February 2007, we issued non-transferable warrants to purchase up to 762,645 shares of our common stock to our sales agents that participated in the sale of the Flow-Through Special Warrants and the Non-Flow-Through Special Warrants (the “Agents’ Warrants”).  The Agents’ Warrants are exercisable at $1.50 per share on the later of: (i) February 27, 2008; and (ii) six months from the date the securities issued under the private placement are free from trading restrictions in the United States and Canada but no later than February 27, 2009 (the “Warrants”).

On March 8, 2007, we disposed of the majority of our conventional oil and gas assets together with our entire interest in Oilsands and the Partnership in exchange for $778,590 (CAD$900,000) and 1,000,000 restricted shares of Great Northern Oilsands Inc. common stock, which were valued at $1,816,710 (CAD$2,100,000) at the date the agreement to sell the assets was struck.

The properties sold consist of our interests in the following areas:
·    
Kerrobert, Saskatchewan, Canada;
·    
Cecil, Alberta, Canada
·    
Lloydminster, Alberta, Canada;
·    
Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada;
·    
Eight Mile, British Columbia, Canada;
·    
Certain assets in the Leismer Area, Alberta, Canada

Effective June 1, 2007, Damascus and 1289307 were merged into Energy.

Plan of Operation

Going forward, Patch’s mandate is to continue to focus on the oil sands lease development within the Ells River area in this fashion. The activity will focus on further exploration, delineation and development of the Ells River asset in preparation for a comprehensive SAGD pilot plant application to the Alberta Energy and Utilities Board and Alberta Environment as early as summer 2008.  In addition to the exploration, Patch will also need to perform a series of tests to ascertain the viable source for water as part of the SAGD application and development plans.

Also, Patch intends to do exploration within the Muskwa property that may include drilling and testing of oil samples for viscosity and pressure transient analysis.

As part of our focus, we have disposed of our minority working interest properties holding conventional oil and gas assets.  These conventional assets were sold to Great Northern in March 2007, as we believe the greater return on investment can be realized on our oil sands properties.

We require significant additional financing to facilitate our 2007-2008 exploration program, which will likely include drilling of additional core holes and a seismic program which may consist of a combination of 2D and 3D.  We believe that obtaining a listing on the TSX Venture exchange will improve the visibility of the company and our chances for obtaining additional financing.  We do not have any commitments for additional financing as of this date.  We also have a $7.7 million flow-through share commitment, which if not met by January 2009, will require the Company to reimburse the subscribers for any tax payable as a result of its failure to meet its flow-through share commitments.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation.  Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and our subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.  These financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and are expressed in US dollars.  Our fiscal year-end is May 31.

Use of Estimates.  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying disclosures.  Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions we may undertake in the future, actual results may differ from the estimates.

Financial Instruments.  The carrying amounts of financial instruments including cash, accounts receivable, investments, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, income taxes payable and amounts due to related parties, approximated fair value at May 31, 2007 and 2006.

Investments.  We report investments in debt and marketable equity securities at fair value based on quoted market prices or, if quoted prices are not available, discounted expected cash flows using market rates commensurate with credit quality and maturity of the investment.  All investment securities are designated as available for sale with unrealized gains and losses included in stockholders’ equity.  We regularly review investment securities for impairment based on criteria that include the extent to which the investment’s carrying value exceeds its related market value, the duration of the market decline, our ability to hold to recovery and the financial strength and specific prospects of the issuer of the security.  Unrealized losses that are other than temporary are recognized in earnings.  Realized gains and losses are accounted for on the specific identification method.

We periodically review these investments for other-than-temporary declines in fair value based on the specific identification method and write down investments to their fair value when an other-than-temporary decline has occurred.  When determining whether a decline is other-than-temporary, we examine (i) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value of an investment has been lower than its carrying value: (ii) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the investee, including any specific events that may influence the operations of the investee such as changes in technology that may impair the earnings potential of the investee: and (iii) our intent and ability to retain the investment in the investee for a sufficient period of time to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value.

Property and Equipment.  Property and equipment consists of computer hardware, is recorded at cost.  Amortization is calculated at the rate of 30% per annum using the declining balance method.

Oil and Gas Interests.  We follow the successful efforts method of accounting for our oil and gas producing activities.  Under this method, all costs associated with productive exploratory wells and productive or non-productive development wells are capitalized while the costs of non-productive exploratory wells are expensed.  If an exploratory well finds oil and gas reserves, but a determination that such reserves can be classified as proved is not made after one year following completion of drilling, the costs of drilling are charged to operations.  Indirect exploratory expenditures, including geophysical costs and annual lease rentals, are expensed as incurred.  Unproved oil and gas properties that are individually significant are periodically assessed for impairment of value, and a loss is recognized at the time of impairment by providing an impairment allowance.  Capitalized costs of producing oil and gas properties and related support equipment, after considering estimated dismantlement and abandonment costs and estimated salvage values, are depreciated and depleted by the unit-of-production method.


16


On the sale or retirement of a complete unit of a proved property, the cost and related accumulated depreciation, depletion, and amortization are eliminated from the property accounts, and the resultant gain or loss is recognized.  On the retirement or sale of a partial unit of proved property, the cost is charged to accumulated deprecation, depletion, and amortization with a resulting gain or loss recognized in income.  On the sale of an entire interest in an unproved property for cash or cash equivalent, gain or loss on the sale is recognized, taking into consideration the amount of any recorded impairment if the property had been assessed individually.  If a partial interest in an unproved property is sold, the amount received is treated as a reduction of the cost of the interest retained.  In joint ventured oil and gas exploration and production activities, the accounts reflect only our proportionate interest in such activities.

Asset Retirement Obligations.  We account for asset retirement obligations in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations.”  SFAS No. 143 requires us to record the fair value of an asset retirement obligation as a liability in the period in which we incur a legal obligation associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and/or normal use of the assets.

Long-lived Assets.  In accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” the carrying value of intangible assets and other long-lived assets is reviewed on a regular basis for the existence of facts or circumstances that may suggest impairment.  We recognize an impairment when the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset.  Impairment losses, if any, are measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its estimated fair value.

Foreign Currency Translation.  Our functional and reporting currency is the United States dollar.  Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated in accordance with SFAS No. 52 “Foreign Currency Translation,” using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date.  Gains and losses arising on settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income.  The functional currency of our Canadian subsidiaries is the Canadian dollar.  Their financial statements are translated to United States dollars under the current rate method in accordance with SFAS No. 52.  Assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at rates of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date.  Average rates for the year are used to translate revenues and expenses.  The cumulative translation adjustment is reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income.

Comprehensive Income.  SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income,” establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in the financial statements.  As at May 31, 2007 and 2006, the components of comprehensive income included unrealized holding gains and losses on available-for-sale securities and foreign currency translation adjustments.

Minority Interest.  On February 3, 2006, we formed a new subsidiary, Patch Oilsands Ltd. (“Oilsands”), and on February 27, 2006, we formed Patch Oilsands Limited Partnership (“Partnership”), in which we own 75% of the Partnership units, with Habanero Resources Inc. owning 20.8333% and Micron Enviro Systems Inc. owning 4.1667%.  Under the terms of the Partnership Agreement, we subscribed for units, where proceeds were for other than the purchase of our stock by the Partnership for consideration in transactions undertaken by the Partnership, at a preferential price compared to the two minority limited partners.  The two limited partners paid a multiple of our subscription price of 1.28571 for Partnership units, up to the earlier of $4,359,000 (CAD$5,000,000) in capital contributions or the introduction of a third party limited partner.  Oilsands managed the Partnership in its capacity as General Partner.

We consolidated our investment in Partnership.  We recorded a gain on dilution, which is the difference between our contribution to the Partnership (70%) and our equity interest (75%).  For the year ended May 31, 2006 this gain totalled $101,664 (May 31, 2007- Nil). Non-controlling interest on the consolidated balance sheet at May 31, 2006 represents the 25% minority interest in the net loss and 25% of the net assets of the Partnership.  On March 8, 2007, the Company sold its entire interest in the Partnership, as part of the disposition of assets to Great Northern Oilsands Inc, therefore there is no minority interest or non-controlling interest recorded for the year ended May 31, 2007.


17


Revenue Recognition.  We recognize oil and gas revenue when production is sold to a purchaser at a fixed or determinable price, when delivery has occurred and title has transferred, and if collectibility of the revenue is probable.

Income Taxes.  We use the liability method to account for income taxes.  Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.  Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, based upon currently available information, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

Flow-Through Shares.  A portion of our exploration activities has been financed through the issue of flow-through common shares.  Under the terms of the flow-through share issuance, the related resource expenditure deductions are renounced to the shareholder in accordance with income tax legislation.  Upon issuance of the flow-through shares, the proceeds are allocated between the offering of shares and the sale of tax benefits to investors.  The allocation is made based on the difference between the quoted price of our shares and the amount received for the flow-through shares, with a liability being recognized for the difference.  The liability is reversed when tax benefits are renounced and a deferred tax liability is recognized at that time.  Income tax expense is recognized for the difference between the amount of the deferred tax liability and the liability recognized on issuance.

Stock-Based Compensation.  Effective June 1, 2006, we account for stock based compensation arrangements in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R) “Share-Based Payment” using the modified prospective transition method.  Under the modified prospective transition method, compensation cost recognized for the year ended May 31, 2007, includes: (i) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of June 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, and (ii) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted after June 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R).  In accordance with the modified prospective transition method, results for prior periods have not been restated.

Basic and Diluted Income (Loss) Per Share.  We compute income (loss) per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128 – “Earnings Per Share.”  Under the provisions of SFAS No. 128, basic income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of common stock outstanding during the periods.  Diluted income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and potentially dilutive common stock outstanding during the period.  As we generated net losses in the years ended May 31, 2007, the basic and diluted loss per share are the same for that year as any exercise of options or warrants would be anti-dilutive.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115.”  This pronouncement permits entities to use the fair value method to measure certain financial assets and liabilities by electing an irrevocable option to use the fair value method at specified election dates.  After election of the option, subsequent changes in fair value would result in the recognition of unrealized gains or losses as period costs during the period the change occurred.  SFAS No. 159 becomes effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007, with early adoption permitted.  However, entities may not retroactively apply the provisions of SFAS No. 159 to fiscal years preceding the date of adoption.  We are currently evaluating the impact that SFAS No. 159 may have on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.


18


In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans – an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R).”  This statement requires employers to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income of a business entity or changes in unrestricted net assets of a not-for-profit organization.  This statement also requires an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position, with limited exceptions.  The provisions of SFAS No. 158 are effective for employers with publicly traded equity securities as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006.  The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on our future reported financial position or results of operations.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.”  The objective of SFAS 157 is to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and to expand disclosures about fair value measurements.  SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  SFAS 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and does not require any new fair value measurements.  The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are effective for fair value measurements made in fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.  The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on our future reported financial position or results of operations.

In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statements No. 109.”  FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by prescribing a two-step method of first evaluating whether a tax position has met a more likely than not recognition threshold and second, measuring that tax position to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in the financial statements.  FIN 48 provides guidance on the presentation of such positions within a classified statement of financial position as well as on derecognition, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition.  FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006.  The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on our future reported financial position or results of operations.

In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities.”  This statement requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities be initially measured at fair value, if practicable, and permits for subsequent measurement using either fair value measurement with changes in fair value reflected in earnings or the amortization and impairment requirements of Statement No. 140.  The subsequent measurement of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities at fair value eliminates the necessity for entities that manage the risks inherent in servicing assets and servicing liabilities with derivatives to qualify for hedge accounting treatment and eliminates the characterization of declines in fair value as impairments or direct write-downs.  SFAS No. 156 is effective for an entity’s first fiscal year beginning after September 15, 2006.  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 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments-an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140,” to simplify and make more consistent the accounting for certain financial instruments.  SFAS No. 155 amends SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” to permit fair value re-measurement for any hybrid financial instrument with an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation, provided that the whole instrument is accounted for on a fair value basis.  SFAS No. 155 amends SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” to allow a qualifying special-purpose entity to hold a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument.  SFAS No. 155 applies to all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006, with earlier application allowed.  The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on our future reported financial position or results of operations.

On March 8, 2007, we sold the majority of our conventional oil and gas properties (see section titled “Sale of Properties to Great Northern Oilsands” above).  As a result, net operating revenue derived from the properties disposed of in this transaction were reclassified into Discontinued Operations.  We retained one minor producing property, at Macleod, Alberta, Canada, and during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2007 this property generated revenue of $15,581 and incurred oil and gas production, royalties and other expenditures of $30,179 for a net operating loss of $14,598.  This compared to net operating income of $24,192 in the fiscal year ended May 31, 2006.

General and administrative costs for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2007 totaled $6,621,338 compared to $1,967,210 for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2006.  The increase in general and administrative costs primarily related to non-cash charges, increased activity levels and severance charges.  The non-cash component of the total general and administrative costs totaled $3,796,343 for fiscal year ended May 31, 2007 relative to $787,310 for fiscal year ended May 31, 2006.  Of this amount, we recorded stock-based compensation charges of $3,136,343 for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2007 compared to $787,310 during the year ended May 31, 2006.  At May 31, 2007, we have a total of 3,225,000 stock options issued and outstanding with a weighted average exercise price of $1.40 and a weighted average remaining contractual life of 4.7 years.  At May 31, 2007, none of the issued and outstanding stock options had vested.  The balance of the increase in general and administrative costs is attributed to increased activity levels associated with the acquisition and development of the assets acquired in the Damascus and 1289307 transactions, combined with one-time severance costs of $415,000 which were paid to previous management of the company, contributed to the increase in general and administrative expenses for the year.

Interest expense during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2007 amounted to $53,038 compared to Nil during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2006.

Depletion, depreciation and impairment of oil and gas property, dry hole costs and geological and geophysical costs totaled $13,220,687 for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2007 compared with $196,646 during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2006.  In accordance with the guidelines surrounding successful efforts method of accounting (as described above) we have expensed all geological and geophysical costs incurred and dry hole costs (primarily associated with the Firebag Oil Sands Project).  In addition, all unproved properties were assessed for impairment as at the balance sheet date with an impairment allowance of $5,036,371 recorded as part of depletion, depreciation and impairment of oil and gas property.

We earned interest and other income of $206,749 in 2007 as compared to $83,557 in 2006.  Interest income was earned primarily through the short-term investment of available cash balances.

We recorded a holding loss of $14,161,373 resulting from the difference between the values of the Exchangeable Shares ($1.32 per share), the Flow Through Special Warrants ($1.65 per share) and the Non Flow-Through Special Warrants ($1.50 per share) at the time of the transactions and the fair market value of these securities at May 31, 2007 ($2.03 per Exchangeable share and Non Flow-Through Special Warrants and $2.23 for Flow-Through Special Warrants).

We recorded a gain on foreign exchange of $2,620,571 during the year ended May 31, 2007 as a result of the appreciation in the value of the Canadian dollar in comparison to the United States dollar.

As a result of the previously described sale of properties to Great Northern Oilsands Inc., we recorded a gain on sale of $612,937.

We realized a gain, before applicable taxes, of $13,684,318 from the sale of 6,791,937 Pharmaxis shares in 2007.  At May 31, 2007, we do not hold any shares of Pharmaxis.  During 2006, we recorded a gain, before applicable taxes, of $6,962,937 from the sale of 4,408,063 Pharmaxis shares.

Loss before taxes for the year ended May 31, 2007, after including the loss from discontinued operations of $424,379 from the disposal of the properties included in the sales transaction with Great Northern Oilsands Inc. and the holding loss on fair valuing the exchangeable shares and special warrants, was $19,050,022.  This compares to net income before tax of $5,093,355 for the year ended May 31, 2006.

A current income tax expense of $2,785,763 was recorded for the year ended May 31, 2007 as compared to $2,406,243 for the prior year.  The current tax payable is a result of the gain from the sale of the Pharmaxis shares during both 2007 and 2006.

A deferred income tax reduction of $3,213,573 has been recorded for the year ended May 31, 2007 (compared to Nil in 2006).

Net loss for the year ended May 31, 2007 was $18,622,212 ($1.05 per share basic and diluted) compared to net income for the year ended May 31, 2006 of $2,687,112 ($0.19 per share basic and diluted).

Other comprehensive loss in 2007 was comprised of a decrease in unrealized gain on available for sale Pharmaxis securities of $7,240,999.  In 2006, we recorded other comprehensive income of $1,234,000, comprised of a decrease in unrealized gain on available for sale Pharmaxis securities of $2,364,217 and a holding gain of $3,598,217 associated with the remaining shares of Pharmaxis held at May 31, 2006.

Comprehensive loss for the current year was $25,136,900 compared to comprehensive income for the prior year of $4,032,672.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

For the fiscal year ended May 31, 2007, we used cash of $24,290,924 from our operating activities as compared to $1,526,196 used during the comparable fiscal year ended May 31, 2006.  Investing activities used cash of $3,937,470 in 2007 as compared to $4,526,232 provided by investing activities in 2006.  We expended $10,123,071 on our oil and gas interests in 2007 as compared to $2,436,705 in 2006.  We realized gross proceeds on the sale of available-for-sale Pharmaxis securities of $13,684,318 in 2007 as compared to $6,962,937 in 2006.

Financing activities, net of expenses, provided $22,368,080 from the sale of special warrants and common stock in 2007 as compared to $1,410,746 in 2006.  We used $6,309 to acquire shares of our common stock under our stock repurchase plan in 2007 compared to $111,077 in 2006.

At May 31, 2007, we had working capital of $1,148,501as compared to $2,089,735 as at May 31, 2006.  We no longer own any available-for-sale securities, having sold the remainder of our Pharmaxis shares.

While we have not yet formally approved our 2007-2008 budget, we are planning a winter program which includes up to 60 core holes and 38 square miles of seismic.  Additional financing will be required for this program to commence and to pay our corporate obligations over the next 12 months.  The planned program will deal with a $7.7 million flow-through share commitment we have, which if not met by January 2009, will require the Company to reimburse the subscribers for any tax payable as a result of its failure to meet its flow-through share commitment.

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.  However, the ultimate development of the Company’s oil and gas projects, if proven commercial, will require significant additional funding.  The Company’s future operations are dependent upon its ability to obtain additional funding and ultimately achieve profitable operations.  The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty at this time.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to secure additional funding or obtain profitable operations.

ITEM 7.   FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.

See pages beginning with page F-1.

 
ITEM 8.   CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.
 
On March 5, 2007, weappointed KPMG LLP (“KPMG”) in Calgary, Canada as our registered independent public accountant for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2007.  On March 5, 2007, we dismissed Morgan & Company  (“Morgan”) as our registered independent public accountant.  The decisions to appoint KPMG and dismiss Morgan were approved by our Board of Directors on March 5, 2007.

During the fiscal years ended May 31, 2006 and 2005 and through the subsequent interim period up through the date of dismissal (March 5, 2007), there were no disagreements with Morgan on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Morgan, would have caused Morgan to make reference thereto in its report on our financial statements for such years.  Further, there were no reportable events as described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv)(B) of Regulation S-B occurring within our two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period up through the date of dismissal (March 5, 2007).

The audit report of Morgan for Patch’s financial statements as of May 31, 2005, contained a separate paragraph stating:

“These financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, unless the Company attains future profitable operations and/or obtains additional financing, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans in regards to these matters are discussed in Note 1.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of the uncertainty.”

During our two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period up through the date of engagement of KPMG (March 5, 2007), neither we nor anyone on our behalf consulted KPMG regarding the application of accounting principles to a specific completed or contemplated transaction, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our financial statements.  Further, KPMG has not provided us with written or oral advice that was an important factor that we considered in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issues.

Morgan furnished us with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating that it agreed with the above statements.  A copy of the letter furnished in response to that was filed as an exhibit to our Form 8-K dated March 5, 2007.
 
ITEM 8A.   CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
 
We have adopted an internal control system that is designed to provide reasonable assurance to management and the board of directors that the financial statements present fairly its financial position and activities.  The system was designed by management, which is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over the Company’s financial reporting.

 
22

The Company’s Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer evaluated the overall design of internal control procedures during the year ended May 31, 2007, and concluded that, because of its recent growth and the inherent complexity of the accounting for some of its transactions, the Company does not have sufficient specialized knowledge to address certain technical and complicated accounting issues.  As a result, the Company’s consolidated financial statements for 2007 contain recorded year end material adjustments.   Going forward, the Company will from time-to-time augment the consultants used, which will provide specialized financial reporting and taxation skills (who are independent of management and the Company’s auditors) to assist the Company with its financial reporting of complex accounting issues and with its tax provision calculations.    We have identified conditions as of May 31, 2007 that we believe are material weaknesses in internal controls due to a lack of segregation of duties in accounting and financial reporting activities as a result of the limited number of Company employees engaged in the authorization, recording, processing and reporting of transactions.  As a remedy to these deficiencies the Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer perform periodic reviews of financial information to ensure that transactions are properly recorded.   We have taken a number of steps to establish a stronger control environment which will reduce the opportunity to override internal controls.  Dual signatures are now required for all cheques issued and we have implemented a more formal process for the approval of all disbursements.  The implementation of these internal controls, combined with our recently strengthened management and employee base has resulted in improved internal control over financial reporting for the Company.  Management believes that the delay in filing of these financial statements was primarily due to the change in direction, recent growth and implementation of new management by the Company.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of May 31, 2007 (the “Evaluation Date”).  Based on this evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded as of the Evaluation Date that our disclosure controls and procedures were adequate and effective to ensure that our management is alerted to material information required to be included in our periodic filings.  Our management has determined that all matters to be disclosed in this report have been fully and accurately reported.

the acquisition of 20% or more of the voting power;
·  
a consolidation or merger with or into any person whereby our outstanding shares are changed in any way (other than a transaction which has been approved our board of directors);
·  
a change in a majority of our board of directors; or
·  
the resignation or removal of a majority of our board of directors
other than a transaction or series of transactions which involves a sale of our securities or assets with which Mr. Stadnyk is involved as a purchaser in any manner.

During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2007, we completed the Damascus and 1289307 acquisitions, which effected a change of control, as defined above.  Prior to the acquisition of Damascus and 1289307, Winston Cabell resigned as a director.  Upon the closing of the Damascus acquisition, John P. Thornton resigned as a director and appointed Michael S. Vandale, to serve as a our sole director.  Pursuant to the acquisition of 1289307, Michael S. Vandale appointed Rod Maxwell, Mark L. Bentsen, and Greg Belzberg to the Board of Directors.  As a result of the change of control, we paid $525,298 in severance and management fees to former directors and officers of the Company as follows:

During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2007, we repriced 485,000 stock options from an exercise price $1.54 per share to $0.90 per share.  We recognized $121,250 of compensation expense in relation to the fair value of the repriced options.  Mr. Thornton’s 100,000 options and Mr. Stadnyk’s 50,000 options exercisable at $1.54 per share were repriced to $0.90 per share resulting in $25,000 and $12,500 of compensation expense attributed to Mr. Thornton and Mr. Stadnyk, respectively.  These options were valued using the following assumptions: expected option life: 0.75 years; risk-free interest rate: 4.93%; annual rate of quarterly dividends: 0.00%; and volatility: 117%.

On December 15, 2006, we initially granted 2,850,000 options exercisable at $1.20 per share to various individuals including our new officers and directors.  The options were exercisable for 5 years and vested 6 months after the date of grant.  The following table sets forth the options granted to our officers and directors on December 15, 2006:

Independent Auditors’ Report
 
The Board of Directors
 
Patch International Inc.
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Patch International Inc. as of May 31, 2007, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the year then ended. 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. The consolidated financial statements of Patch International Inc. as at May 31, 2006 and for the year ended May 31, 2006 were audited by other auditors whose report dated July 28, 2006 expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards as established by the Auditing Standards Board (United States) and in accordance with the auditing standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the 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 financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Patch International Inc. as of May 31, 2007, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
 
As discussed in Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements, as of June 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, Share-Based Payment.
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

1.
ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Patch International, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on June 20, 1997.  Effective June 15, 2004, the Company changed its domicile from Utah to Nevada.  Effective March 15, 2004, the Company acquired all the issued and outstanding common stock of Patch Energy Inc. (“Energy”), a private company incorporated in British Columbia, Canada, which is involved in the exploration, development and production of oil and natural gas. Prior to the acquisition, the Company was a non-operating corporation with nominal net assets. The acquisition is a capital transaction in substance and therefore has been accounted for as a recapitalization of the Company. Accordingly, because Energy is deemed to be the purchaser for accounting purposes, these consolidated financial statements are presented as a continuation of Energy and include the results of operations of Energy since incorporation on February 11, 2002, and the results of operations of the Company since the date of acquisition on March 15, 2004.
 
On February 3, 2006, the Company, through its subsidiary Energy, incorporated a wholly-owned subsidiary, Patch Oilsands Ltd. (“Oilsands”) in British Columbia, Canada.  On February 27, 2006, the Company formed Patch Oilsands Limited Partnership (the “Partnership”), a Canadian limited partnership, of which Energy owned a 75% interest and Oilsands was the general partner.  On March 8, 2007, Energy sold its interest in both Oilsands and Partnership as a part of a sale of assets to Great Northern Oilsands Inc. (Note 14).

On December 15, 2006, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding share capital of Damascus Energy Inc. in consideration for one share of Class A Preferred Voting Stock of the Company and 9,426,489 shares of Series A Preferred Stock of Patch Energy Inc. that are exchangeable for 9,426,489 shares of the Company’s common stock. Refer to Note 9(a).

On January 16, 2007, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding share capital of 1289307 Alberta Ltd. in consideration for one share of Class B Preferred Voting Stock of the Company and 500,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock of Patch Energy Inc. that are exchangeable for 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Refer to Note 9(b).
 
Effective June 1, 2007, both Damascus Energy Inc. and 1289307 Alberta Ltd. were merged with Patch Energy Inc. and ceased to exist as separate
entities.

2.       FUTURE OPERATIONS

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.  The Company incurred a net loss of $18.6 million for the year ended May 31, 2007, had an accumulated deficit of $17.6 million and positive working capital of $1.1 million.  In addition, the Company has a $7.7 million flow-through share commitment, which if not met by January 2009, will require the Company to reimburse the subscribers for any tax payable as a result of its failure to meet its flow-through share commitment.  The Company currently anticipates spending its existing funds in the current fiscal year to maintain operations and additional funding will be required to meet the flow-through share commitment and for expenditures connected with the acquisition, exploration and appraisal of new and existing oil and gas projects.

The ultimate development of the Company’s oil and gas projects, if proven commercial, will require additional funding.  The Company’s future operations are dependent upon its ability to obtain additional funding and ultimately achieve profitable operations.  The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty at this time.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to secure additional funding or obtain profitable operations.

3.         SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a)        
Basis of Presentation

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. These financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and are expressed in US dollars.  The Company’s fiscal year-end is May 31.


F-6


3.
 
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 
b)
Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying disclosures.  Although these estimates are based on management's best knowledge of current events and actions the Company may undertake in the future, actual results may differ from the estimates.

 
c)
Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, marketable securities, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and amounts due to/from related parties, approximated fair value at May 31, 2007 and 2006.

 
d)
Marketable Securities
 
The Company reports investments in debt and marketable equity securities at fair value based on quoted market prices or, if quoted prices are not available, discounted expected cash flows using market rates commensurate with credit quality and maturity of the investment. All investment securities are designated as available for sale with unrealized gains and losses included in stockholders' equity. The Company regularly reviews investment securities for impairment based on criteria that include the extent to which the investment's carrying value exceeds its related market value, the duration of the market decline, the Company’s ability to hold to recovery and the financial strength and specific prospects of the issuer of the security. Unrealized losses that are other than temporary are recognized in earnings. Realized gains and losses are accounted for on the specific identification method.
 
The Company periodically reviews these investments for other-than-temporary declines in fair value based on the specific identification method and writes down investments to their fair value when an other-than-temporary decline has occurred. When determining whether a decline is other-than-temporary, the Company examines (i) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value of an investment has been lower than its carrying value: (ii) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the investee, including any specific events that may influence the operations of the investee such as changes in technology that may impair the earnings potential of the investee: and (iii) the Company’s intent and ability to retain its investment in the investee for a sufficient period of time to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value.
 
e)            
Property and Equipment

Property and equipment consists of office furniture and computer hardware and software and is recorded at cost.  Amortization is calculated at the rate of 30% per annum using the declining balance method.
 
f)            
Oil and Gas Interests
 
The Company follows the successful efforts method of accounting for its oil and gas producing activities.  Under this method, all costs associated with productive exploratory wells and productive or non-productive development wells are capitalized while the costs of non-productive exploratory wells are expensed.  If an exploratory well finds oil and gas reserves, but a determination that such reserves can be classified as proved is not made after one year following completion of drilling, the costs of drilling are charged to operations.  Indirect exploratory expenditures, including geophysical costs and annual lease rentals, are expensed as incurred.  Unproved oil and gas properties that are individually significant are periodically assessed for impairment of value, and a loss is recognized at the time of impairment by providing an impairment allowance.  Capitalized costs of producing oil and gas properties and related support equipment, after considering estimated dismantlement and abandonment costs and estimated salvage values, are depreciated and depleted by the unit-of-production method.
 
On the sale or retirement of a complete unit of a proved property, the cost and related accumulated depreciation, depletion, and amortization are eliminated from the property accounts, and the resultant gain or loss is recognized.  On the retirement or sale of a partial unit of proved property, the cost is charged to accumulated deprecation, depletion, and amortization with a resulting gain or loss recognized in income. On the sale of an entire interest in an unproved property for cash or cash equivalent, gain or loss on the sale is recognized, taking into consideration the amount of any recorded impairment if the property had been assessed individually.  If a partial interest in an unproved property is sold, the amount received is treated as a reduction of the cost of the interest retained. In joint ventured oil and gas exploration and production activities, the accounts reflect only the Company’s proportionate interest in such activities.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
 
           g)
Flow-through Shares
 
A portion of the Company’s exploration activities have been financed through the issue of flow-through common shares and flow-through Special Warrants.  Under the terms of these issuances, the related resource expenditure deductions are renounced to the shareholder in accordance with income tax legislation in Canada.  Upon issue of the flow-through shares/warrants, the proceeds are allocated between the offering of shares and the sale of tax benefits to investors.  The allocation is made based on the difference between the quoted price of the Company’s shares and the amount received for the flow-through shares, with a liability being recognized for the difference.  The liability is reversed when tax benefits are renounced and a deferred tax liability is recognized at that time.  Income tax expense is recognized for the difference between the amount of the deferred tax liability recognized on issuance.
 
           h)           Asset Retirement Obligations
 
The Company accounts for asset retirement obligations in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 143 “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations”.  SFAS No. 143 requires the Company to record the fair value of an asset retirement obligation as a liability in the period in which it incurs a legal obligation associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and/or normal use of the assets.
 
            i)           Long-lived Assets
 
In accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, the carrying value of intangible assets and other long-lived assets is reviewed on a regular basis for the existence of facts or circumstances that may suggest impairment. The Company recognizes an impairment when the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. Impairment losses, if any, are measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its estimated fair value.
 
             j)
Foreign Currency Translation
 
The Company’s functional and reporting currency is the United States dollar. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated in accordance with SFAS No. 52 “Foreign Currency Translation”, using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Gains and losses arising on settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income. The functional currency of the Company’s Canadian subsidiaries is the Canadian dollar. Their financial statements are translated to United States dollars under the current rate method in accordance with SFAS No. 52. Assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at rates of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date. Average rates for the year are used to translate revenues and expenses. The cumulative translation adjustment is reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income.
 
            k)
Comprehensive Income
 
SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income,” establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in the financial statements. As at May 31, 2007 and 2006 the components of comprehensive income included unrealized holding gains and losses on available-for-sale securities and foreign currency translation adjustments.

 
l)
Minority Interest

The Company consolidated its investment in Patch Oilsands Limited Partnership (the “Partnership”). The Company recorded a gain on dilution, which is the difference between Energy’s contribution to the Partnership (70%) and its equity interest (75%). For the year ended May 31, 2006 this gain totalled $101,664 (May 31, 2007 – Nil).  Non-controlling interest on the consolidated balance sheet at May 31, 2006 represents the 25% minority interest in the net loss and 25% of the net assets of the Partnership.  On March 8, 2007 the Company sold its entire interest in the Partnership, as part of the disposition of assets to Great Northern Oilsands Inc. (Note 14), therefore there is no minority interest or non-controlling interest recorded for the year ended May 31, 2007.

 
m)
Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes oil and gas revenue when production is sold to a purchaser at a fixed or determinable price, when delivery has occurred and title has transferred, and if collectibility of the revenue is probable.

F-8


3.
 
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 
n)
Income Taxes

The Company uses the liability method to account for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, based upon currently available information, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

 
o)
Stock-Based Compensation

Prior to June 1, 2006, the Company accounted for stock-based awards under the recognition and measurement provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion (“APB”) No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” using the intrinsic value method of accounting. Effective June 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123R “Share Based Payments”, using the modified prospective transition method. Under that transition method, compensation cost is recognized for all stock-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of June 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123, and compensation cost for all stock-based payments granted subsequent to June 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R. Results for prior periods have not been restated.

 
p)
Basic and Diluted Income (Loss) Per Share

The Company computes income (loss) per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128 – “Earnings Per Share”.  Under the provisions of SFAS No. 128, basic income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of common stock outstanding during the periods.  Diluted income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and potentially dilutive common stock outstanding during the period.  As the Company generated a net loss in the year ended May 31, 2007, the basic and diluted loss per share is the same for that year as any exercise of options or warrants would be anti-dilutive.

4.
RECENT PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115.”  This pronouncement permits entities to use the fair value method to measure certain financial assets and liabilities by electing an irrevocable option to use the fair value method at specified election dates.  After election of the option, subsequent changes in fair value would result in the recognition of unrealized gains or losses as period costs during the period the change occurred.  SFAS No. 159 becomes effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007, with early adoption permitted. However, entities may not retroactively apply the provisions of SFAS No. 159 to fiscal years preceding the date of adoption.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact that SFAS No. 159 may have on the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company.
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans – an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)”. This statement requires employers to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income of a business entity or changes in unrestricted net assets of a not-for-profit organization.  This statement also requires an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position, with limited exceptions. The provisions of SFAS No. 158 are effective for employers with publicly traded equity securities as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006. The adoption of this statement will not have a material effect on the Company's future reported financial position or results of operations.

F-9


4.       
RECENT PRONOUNCEMENTS (Continued)
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. The objective of SFAS 157 is to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and to expand disclosures about fair value measurements.  SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and does not require any new fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are effective for fair value measurements made in fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's future reported financial position or results of operations.
 
In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statements No. 109.”  FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by prescribing a two-step method of first evaluating whether a tax position has met a more likely than not recognition threshold and second, measuring that tax position to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 provides guidance on the presentation of such positions within a classified statement of financial position as well as on derecognition, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition.  FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006.  The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on our future reported financial position or results of operations.

In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities.”  This statement requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities be initially measured at fair value, if practicable, and permits for subsequent measurement using either fair value measurement with changes in fair value reflected in earnings or the amortization and impairment requirements of Statement No. 140.  The subsequent measurement of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities at fair value eliminates the necessity for entities that manage the risks inherent in servicing assets and servicing liabilities with derivatives to qualify for hedge accounting treatment and eliminates the characterization of declines in fair value as impairments or direct write-downs.  SFAS No. 156 is effective for an entity’s first fiscal year beginning after September 15, 2006.  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 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments-an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140,” to simplify and make more consistent the accounting for certain financial instruments.  SFAS No. 155 amends SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” to permit fair value re-measurement for any hybrid financial instrument with an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation, provided that the whole instrument is accounted for on a fair value basis.  SFAS No. 155 amends SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” to allow a qualifying special-purpose entity to hold a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument.  SFAS No. 155 applies to all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006, with earlier application allowed.  The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on our future reported financial position or results of operations.

(Note 9(a)) for total share consideration of $12,442,965.  The Oil and Gas Interests acquired in this transaction were valued at $23,475,628 with the majority of this value attributable to the Dover Oil Sands Project.  Additional drilling and seismic activity, which earned the Company an 80% working interest on the Dover lands during the period from December 15, 2006 to May 31, 2007 totalled approximately $11.8 million.  Effective January 16, 2007 the Company acquired 1289307 Alberta Ltd. (Note 9(b)).  The Oil and Gas Interests acquired in this transaction were valued at $5,417,197, all attributable to the Firebag Oil Sands Project.

OIL AND GAS INTERESTS (Continued)

 
Additional drilling and seismic activity, which earned the Company a 75% working interest, on the Firebag lands during the period from January 16, 2007 to May 31, 2007 totalled approximately $5.5 million. The remainder of the expenditures and acquisitions during the year relate primarily to drilling activity on the Company’s non-core conventional asset base, of which the majority was disposed of in the transaction with Great Northern Oilsands Inc. (Note 14).  All properties are classified as unproved properties as no proven reserves exist.  All activity relating to Oil and Gas Interests by the Company is located in Canada.

 
In accordance with successful efforts accounting for oil and gas interests the Company has expensed all geological and geophysical costs incurred.  The drilling costs associated with the Firebag properties have been expensed in the year as the drilling results on the property did not support recoverability of these costs.  In addition, the Company has charged to earnings approximately $5.0 million of the carrying value of its costs in acquiring its interests in the Firebag property.

ACQUISITIONS
 
a)  
The Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement dated December 1, 2006 with Damascus Energy Inc. (“Damascus”), whereby the Company would acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding share capital of Damascus.  The transaction closed on December 15, 2006, and is accounted for using the purchase method.  By acquiring Damascus the Company received the right to earn up to an 80% working interest in the Dover Oil Sands Project.  The consolidated statements of operations for the Company includes the operating results of Damascus from the date the transaction closed to May 31, 2007.  Under the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement, because the Company did not have enough authorized shares to effect the transaction, Energy acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Damascus (18,852,978 common shares) in consideration for one share of Class A Preferred Voting Stock of the Company and 9,426,489 shares of Series A Preferred Stock of Energy (the “Exchangeable Shares”) that are exchangeable for 9,426,489 shares of the Company’s common stock. Refer to Note 12.  The Exchangeable Shares will be exchanged when the Company has increased its authorized common stock, however no recourse exists should approval not be received by the Company allowing for the conversion of the Exchangeable Shares into the Company’s common stock.  The shares were valued at $1.32, based upon the market price of the Company’s common shares at the closing date of the transaction.  During the next fiscal year adjustments may be made to finalize the purchase price equation.  The president of Damascus, who was also a director of Energy prior to the acquisition, was appointed to serve as a director of the Company.  A director of Energy received $244,840 (CAD$283,019) in connection with the acquisition.

b)  
The Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement dated December 21, 2006 with 1289307 Alberta Ltd. (“1289307”), whereby the Company would acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding share capital of 1289307.  The transaction closed on January 16, 2007, and is accounted for using the purchase method.  By acquiring 1289307 the Company received the right to earn up to a 75% working interest in the Firebag Oil Sands Project.  The consolidated statements of operations for the Company includes the operating results of 1289307 from the date the transaction closed to May 31, 2007.  Under the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement, because the Company did not have enough authorized shares to effect the transaction, Energy acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of 1289307 (500,000 common shares) in consideration for one share of Class B Preferred Voting Stock of the Company and 500,000 shares of Energy that are exchangeable for 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Refer to Note 12.  The Exchangeable Shares will be exchanged when the Company has increased its authorized common stock, however no recourse exists should approval not be received by the Company allowing for the conversion of the Exchangeable Shares into the Company’s common stock.  The shares were valued at $1.32, based upon the market price of the Company’s common shares at the closing date of the transaction.  During the next fiscal year adjustments may be made to finalize the purchase price equation.  A private Alberta company controlled by an officer of the Company was repaid $1,000,000 for a promissory note in connection with the acquisition.

As this acquisition was part of a series of sequential transactions which reflect the acquisition of 1289307 by the Company the purchase price allocation presented above differs from that presented at February 28, 2007 as follows:
 
i)  
Under the terms of the Firebag Oil Sands Project agreement, dated December 21, 2006, 1289307 assumed an obligation of $4,393,140 (CAD$5,100,000).  At February 28, 2007 this cash payment was recorded by the Company as a capital expenditure subsequent to the acquisition of 1289307.  However, since 1289307 had an obligation for this payment prior to its acquisition by the Company the costs have been reclassified and included as part of the initial purchase price of 1289307.
 
ii)  
At February 28, 2007, the 500,000 Exchangeable Shares which were issued by the Company in conjunction with the acquisition of 1289307 was included in the purchase price.  These Exchangeable Shares, with a value of $660,000 based upon the market price of the Company’s common stock at the closing date of the transaction, have now been excluded from the purchase price of 1289307.  The $660,000 has been charged to net income in the current year as a fee paid by the Company to two individuals who were the shareholders of 1289307 and subsequently became directors of the Company.

The holders of the Series A Preferred shares of Patch Energy Inc. do not have any voting or economic interest in the operations and assets of Patch
Energy Inc.
 
The value of the purchase price, represented by the Series A Preferred Stock of Energy which is exchangeable into common stock of the Company, as disclosed in both Notes 9(a) and (b) totals $20,150,772 and has been presented as a liability on the face of the balance sheet as at May 31, 2007.  In accordance with EITF – 00-19 “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company's Own Stock”, the Company determined that, at the classification assessment date, share settlement was not within the control of the Company, as shareholder approval was required, and therefore the value of the exchangeable shares is classified as a liability and is fair valued as at May 31, 2007, using a market price of $2.03 per share.  As of September 11, 2007 the share price was $1.06 per share.  The balance will be reclassified to stockholder’s equity once the Company has increased its authorized number of shares (Note 20).

SPECIAL WARRANTS AND FLOW-THROUGH SPECIAL WARRANTS

On February 27, 2007, the Company completed a private placement of 8,302,000 Special Warrants at $1.50 per Special Warrant, and 4,653,750 Flow-through Special Warrants at $1.65 per Flow-through Special Warrant for total gross proceeds of $20,131,687. Net proceeds of $18,759,033 were received, after commissions and professional fees paid. Of the Flow-through Special Warrants, 4,408,750 were issued on a brokered basis, and 245,000 were issued on a non-brokered basis.

Each Special Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one Unit of the Company, for no additional consideration.  Each Unit consists of one share of the Company’s common stock, subject to the Company increasing its authorized number of shares of common stock and one common share Bonus Warrant.  Each Bonus Warrant entitles the holder to receive, without additional consideration, up to 0.10 shares or 830,200 of the Company’s common stock, subject to the Company not completing certain filings on or before April 28, 2007 and not, (i) becoming a “reporting issuer” in any province or territory of Canada; (ii) having a registration statement declared effective in the United States; and (iii) having its common stock listed on the TSX Venture Exchange or Toronto Stock Exchange on or before September 25, 2007.  As at May 31, 2007, the Bonus Warrants can be converted into 166,040 shares of the Company’s common stock, without additional consideration, as the April 28, 2007 filing deadlines described above were not met.  Financing costs of $298,872 has been recorded for the year ended May 31, 2007 (May 31, 2006 – Nil) which represents the market value of the Company’s common stock at the date the Bonus Warrants became exercisable.

Each Flow-through Special Warrant entitles the holder to acquire, for no additional consideration, one share of the Company’s common stock upon the Company increasing its authorized number of share of the Company’s common stock.
 
The Company paid $1,183,646 in cash commissions to the agents and issued non-transferable agents’ warrants to purchase up to 762,645 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.50 per share on the later of: (i) February 27, 2008; and (ii) six months from the date the securities issued under the private placement are free from trading restrictions in the United States and Canada, but no later than February 27, 2009.  The fair value of the Agents’ warrants of $1,281,244 was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following weighted-average assumptions: a dividend yield of 0.0%; expected volatility of 138%; risk free interest rate of 4.54%; and expected life of 2 years.  For the year ended May 31, 2007, $334,391 has been determined to be the fair value representing the vested portion of the Agents’ warrants and has been included in financing costs.
 
The Company has accounted for the net proceeds received from the sale of the Special Warrants and the Flow-through Special Warrants and the value of the Bonus Warrants as a liability on the face of the balance sheet.  In accordance with EITF – 00-19, the Company determined that share settlement of the Special Warrants, Flow-through Special Warrants and Bonus Warrants is not within the control of the Company, as shareholder approval is required, and therefore, the value of these instruments is classified as a liability and is fair valued at May 31, 2007, using a price of $2.03 per share.  The balance will be reclassified to stockholder’s equity once the Company has increased it authorized number of shares (Note 20).

ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS
 
The total future asset retirement obligation was estimated by management based on the Company’s net ownership in wells and facilities, estimated costs to reclaim and abandon wells and facilities and the estimated timing of the costs to be incurred in future periods.  At May 31, 2007 the total undiscounted value of the total asset retirement obligation is estimated to be $166,835.  These payments are expected to be made over the next 3 years.  The Company’s credit adjusted risk free rate of 6.5 percent and an inflation rate of 3.0 percent were used to calculate the present value of the asset retirement obligation.

Prior to June 1, 2006, the Company accounted for stock-based awards under the recognition and measurement provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion (“APB”) No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” using the intrinsic value method of accounting. Effective June 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123R “Share Based Payments”, using the modified prospective transition method. Under that transition method, compensation cost is recognized for all stock-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of June 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123, and compensation cost for all stock-based payments granted subsequent to June 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123R. Results for prior periods have not been restated.
 
As a result of adopting SFAS 123R on June 1, 2006, the Company’s net loss for the year ended May 31, 2007 is $3,136,266 higher than if it had continued to account for share-based compensation under APB No. 25. Basic and diluted net loss per share for the year ended May 31, 2007 would have been $0.08 per share higher than as reported.
 
During the year ended May 31, 2007, stock-based compensation amounting to $3,136,343 was recorded.

INCOME TAX
 
The Company records deferred income taxes for differences between the tax reporting basis and the financial reporting basis of assets and liabilities. The Company follows the provisions of SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. Pursuant to SFAS 109 the Company is required to compute tax asset benefits for net operating losses carried forward. At May 31, 2007, the Company did not have any net U.S. operating losses carried forward. The potential benefit of net U.S. foreign tax credit carry forward has not been recognized in the financial statements because the Company cannot be assured that it is more likely than not that it will utilize the net U.S. foreign tax credit carry forward in future years. At May 31, 2007, the Company had capital gains for Australian income taxes purposes of $13,684,318, net operating losses for U.S. federal income tax purposes of $2,624,000, and had non-capital loss carryforwards for Canadian income tax purposes of $2,955,000, which begin expiring in fiscal 2011. All U.S. federal income taxes payable were offset by a foreign tax credit or losses brought forward. When the future utilization of some portion of the carryforwards is determined not to be “more likely than not,” a valuation allowance is provided to reduce the recorded tax benefits from such assets. At May 31, 2007, a valuation allowance of $739,226 was provided to reduce deferred tax assets to nil.

SCHEDULE OF SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION ON OIL AND GAS OPERATIONS (Unaudited)

RESERVE QUANTITY INFORMATION
 
The estimated quantities of proved oil and gas reserves disclosed in the table below are based upon estimates prepared for the Company by independent petroleum engineers.  Such estimates are inherently imprecise and may be subject to substantial revisions.  The Company bears the ultimate responsibility for proved reserves estimates.
 
Revisions may occur because current prices of oil and gas and current costs of operating are subject to fluctuations. Past performance of wells does not necessarily guarantee future performance and rates used to estimate decline of reserves could vary from that which is projected.

All quantities shown in the table are proved reserves and are located within Canada.

Future cash flows are computed by applying fiscal period end prices of natural gas and oil to period end quantities of proved natural gas and oil reserves.  Future operating expenses and development costs are computed primarily by the Company’s petroleum engineers by estimating the expenditures to be incurred in developing and producing the Company’s proved natural gas and oil reserves at the end of the period, based on period end costs and assuming continuation of existing economic conditions.

Future income taxes are based on period end statutory rates, adjusted for tax basis and applicable tax credits.  A discount factor of ten percent was used to reflect the timing of future net cash flows.  The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows is not intended to represent the replacement cost of fair value of the Company’s natural gas and oil properties.  An estimate of fair value would also take into account, among other things, the recovery of reserves not presently classified as proved, anticipated future changes in prices and costs, and a discount factor more representative of the time value of money and the risks inherent in reserve estimate of natural gas and oil producing operations.

QUARTERLY FINANCIAL DATA (Unaudited)

a)    
Acquisition of 1289307 Alberta Ltd. (Note 9(b))
 
As this acquisition was part of a series of sequential transactions which reflect the acquisition of 1289307 Alberta Ltd. (“1289307”) by the Company the purchase price allocation presented above differs from that presented at February 28, 2007 as follows:
 
i)           
Under the terms of the Firebag Oil Sands Project agreement, dated December 21, 2006, 1289307 assumed an obligation of $4,393,140 (CAD$5,100,000).  At February 28, 2007 this cash payment was recorded by the Company as a capital expenditure subsequent to the acquisition of 1289307.  However, since 1289307 had an obligation for this payment prior to its acquisition by the Company the costs have been reclassified and included as part of the initial purchase price of 1289307.
 
ii)          
At February 28, 2007, the 500,000 Exchangeable Shares which were issued by the Company in conjunction with the acquisition of 1289307 was included in the purchase price.  These Exchangeable Shares, with a value of $660,000 based upon the market price of the Company’s common stock at the closing date of the transaction, have now been excluded from the purchase price of 1289307.  The $660,000 has been charged to net income in the current year as a fee paid by the Company to two individuals who were the shareholders of 1289307 and subsequently became directors of the Company.
