ITEM 1.          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 our results of operations since the date of acquisition on March 15, 2004.

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.

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, (iii) 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 our 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.

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.

Continuation to Alberta, Canada.  On August 28, 2008, we filed our Articles of Conversion in the State of Nevada to move our jurisdiction of incorporation to Alberta, Canada.  We also filed our Articles of Continuance in Alberta, Canada.  We received our Certificate of Continuance from Alberta on September 3, 2008. As a result of these actions, we will be considered a “foreign private issuer” under the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

In connection with our move to Alberta, we replaced our transfer agent with Computershare Trust Company of Canada.  The address and contact information for our new transfer agent is Suite 600, 530 - 8th Ave SW, Calgary Alberta, Canada  T2P 3S8; Telephone: (800) 340-4883; Facsimile: (403) 267-6529.

Recent Financing Activity.  We have not conducted any financing activities since February 2007, when we sold 4,653,750 “Flow-Through Special Warrants” and 8,302,000 “Non-Flow-Through Special Warrants.”  Each Flow-Through Special Warrant entitled the holder to acquire, for no additional consideration, one share of our common stock.  Each Non-Flow-Through Special Warrant entitled the holder to acquire, for no additional consideration, one Unit.  Each Unit consisted of one share of our common stock and one common share Bonus Warrant (the “Bonus Warrants”).  Each Bonus Warrant entitled the holder to receive, without additional consideration, up to 0.10 shares of our common stock, if we did not complete certain filings on or before April 28, 2007 and we did 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.  We issued 166,040 Bonus Warrants because we did not meet our April 28, 2007 filing deadline.  We issued an additional 664,160 Bonus Warrants because we did not meet our September 25, 2007 filing deadline.  On September 14, 2007, the Company received shareholder approval to increase its authorized capital stock.  As of September 25, 2007, all Flow-Through Special Warrants, Non-Flow-Through Special Warrants and Bonus Warrants were exercised, without consideration, into 13,785,950 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 were 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.  As of September 7, 2008, the Agents’ Warrants expired unexercised by their terms.

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 in 2004, 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

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, Oil Sands 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.

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, 2008, we had 2 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 1A.          RISK FACTORS

An investment in our shares involves a high degree of risk.  In evaluating us and our business, investors should carefully consider the following risk factors in addition to the other information included in this annual report.

The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face.  Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also harm our business.  If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial conditions or operating results could be materially adversely affected.  In such case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

Risks Related to Our Company

We have a limited operating history and have generated only very limited revenues.  We have earned limited production revenue.  We have not yet generated any proved resources on any of our properties.  We have accumulated a deficit of $5,769,766 as of May 31, 2008.  Our principal activities have been raising capital through the sale of our securities and securities held for sale and identifying, evaluating and acquiring potential oil and gas properties.

We do not have sufficient capital to sustain operations or meet our short-term obligations.  As of May 31, 2008, we had a working capital deficit of $3,344,421.  We must pursue financing to meet our short-term obligations and continue operations.  We intend to conduct additional bridge financings to sustain our operations until we can merge with or be acquired by a partner with sufficient capital to develop our assets.  To this end, we have engaged CIBC World Markets Inc. as our financial advisor.  We cannot assure you that we will be able to complete any additional financings successfully or that we will be able to complete a merger or acquisition with another business.  Failure to obtain additional financing could result in the cessation of our business and the sale of our assets on an untimely and unfavorable basis.

We have significant future capital requirements.  If these obligations are not met, our growth and operations could be non-functional.  Our business plan depends on our ability to make large capital expenditures for the exploration of the property interests we have acquired.  We intend to finance our foreseeable capital expenditures through additional fundings for which we have no commitments at this time.  Future cash flows and the availability of financing will be subject to a number of variables, such as:
·     
the success of the leases;
·     
success in locating and producing new reserves; and
·     
prices of oil.

Additional financing sources will be required in the future to fund developmental and exploratory drilling.  Issuing equity securities to satisfy our financing requirements could cause substantial dilution to our existing stockholders.  Additional debt financing could lead to:
·     
a substantial portion of operating cash flow being dedicated to the payment of principal and interest;
·     
the Company being more vulnerable to competitive pressures and economic downturns; and
·     
restrictions on our operations.

Financing might not be available in the future, or we might not be able to obtain necessary financing on acceptable terms, if at all.  If sufficient capital resources are not available, we might be forced to curtail drilling and other activities or be forced to sell some assets on an untimely or unfavorable basis, which would have an adverse effect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The lack of production and established reserves for our properties impairs our ability to raise capital.  As of the date of this annual report, we have not yet established reserves on any of our oil sands properties and are still in the exploration stage, making it more difficult to raise the amount of capital needed to fully exploit the potential of our properties.  Therefore, we may have to raise capital on terms less favorable than we would desire.  This may
 
 
10

 
result in increased dilution to existing stockholders.

We estimate that even if our properties are determined to contain reserves in commercial quantities, it will be several years before production could commence.  Our properties are located in a part of the province of Alberta that is accessible only during the winter months.  Accordingly, we can conduct exploration drilling activities only during a few months of the year.  We will also need to build the necessary facilities, either alone or with other resource companies in the area, if we undertake development activities on these properties.  Accordingly, as is the case with other oil sands projects, production is several years from initial exploration.

We have decided to focus our efforts on only a few oil sands projects.  This lack of diversification may impair our ability to achieve successful operations and make us more vulnerable to downturns in this specific industry.  In March 2007, we disposed of other oil sands assets and conventional oil and gas properties that we owned in order to focus our efforts and resources on the Dover, Firebag and Muskwa properties.  As a result, we are subject to the risks inherent in investing in a single asset class.  Unforeseen events adversely affecting this particular geographic area or this specific industry, such as weather or legislative changes, may have more pronounced effects on us and our business plan than if we had diversified our activities and assets across different types of resource properties.

The development of oil and gas properties involves substantial risks that may result in a total loss of investment.  The business of exploring for and producing oil and gas involves a substantial risk of investment loss that even a combination of experience, knowledge, and careful evaluation may not be able to overcome.  Drilling oil and gas wells involves the risk that the wells will be unproductive or that, although productive, the wells do not produce oil and/or gas in economic quantities.  There is no way to predict in advance of drilling and testing whether any prospect encountering oil or gas will yield oil or gas in sufficient quantities to cover drilling or completion costs or to be economically viable.  The seismic data, other technologies, and the study of producing fields in the area do not enable us to know conclusively prior to drilling that oil and gas will be present, or if present, if it is in commercial quantities.  We cannot assure anyone that the analogies that we draw from available data from other wells, more fully explored prospects, or producing fields will be applicable to our drilling prospects.

Other hazards, such as unusual or unexpected geological formations, pressures, fires, blowouts, loss of circulation of drilling fluids or other conditions may substantially delay or prevent completion of any well.  Adverse weather conditions can also hinder drilling operations.

If we are not the operator of our wells, we will have little or no control over the project.  If we are not the operator of the wells in which we have an interest, we will have limited or no control over the project.  More specifically, we will have limited or no control over the following:
·     
the timing of the drilling and recompleting of wells;
·     
the timing and amounts of production; and
·     
the development and operating costs.

We are subject to environmental regulations that can adversely affect the timing and cost of our operations.  In general, our exploration activities are subject to certain federal, state, provincial and local laws and regulations relating to environmental quality and pollution control.  Such laws and regulations increase the costs of these activities and may prevent or delay the commencement or continuation of a given operation.  Compliance with these laws and regulations has not had a material effect on our operations or financial condition to date.  Specifically, we are subject to legislation regarding emissions into the environment, water discharges, and storage and disposition of hazardous wastes.  In addition, legislation has been enacted which requires well and facility sites to be abandoned and reclaimed to the satisfaction of government authorities.  As of this date, we are unable to predict the ultimate cost of compliance.

We are subject to governmental regulations that may adversely affect the cost of our operations.  Oil and gas exploration, development and production are subject to various types of regulation by local, state, provincial and federal agencies.  Legislation affecting the oil and gas industry is under constant review for amendment and expansion.  Also, numerous departments and agencies, at federal, province and state levels, are authorized by statute
 
 
11

 
to issue and have issued rules and regulations binding on the oil and gas industry and its individual members, some of which carry substantial penalties for failure to comply.  The regulatory burden on the oil and gas industry increases our cost of doing business and, consequently, affects our profitability.  The possibility exists that laws and regulations enacted in the future will adversely affect the oil and gas industry.  Such new legislation or regulations could drive up the cost of doing business to the point where our projects would not be economically feasible.

Most areas in which we own and operate properties have statutes, rules and regulations governing conservation matters including the unitization or pooling of oil and gas properties, establishment of maximum rates of production from oil and gas wells and the spacing of such wells.

Our competitors may have greater resources that could enable them to pay a higher price for properties.  The oil and gas industry is intensely competitive and we compete with other companies that have greater resources.  Many of such companies not only explore for and produce crude oil and natural gas but also carry on refining operations and market petroleum and other products on a worldwide basis.  Such companies may be able to pay more for productive oil and natural gas properties and exploratory prospects, and to define, evaluate, bid for and purchase a greater number of properties and prospects than our financial or human resources permit.  Our ability to acquire additional properties and to discover reserves in the future will be dependent upon our ability to evaluate and select suitable properties, to obtain funding and to consummate transactions in a highly competitive environment.  There is also competition between the oil and gas industry and other industries with respect to the supply of energy and fuel to industrial, commercial and individual customers.  At this stage of our development, we cannot predict if we will be able to compete effectively against such companies.

Our future operating results may fluctuate and cause the price of our common stock to decline, which could result in substantial losses for investors.  Our limited operating history and the lack of production or reserve reports on our properties make it difficult to predict accurately our future operations.  We expect that our operating results will fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter, due to a variety of factors, many of which are beyond our control.  If our operating results fall below the expectations of investors or securities analysts, the price of our common stock could decline significantly.  The factors that could cause our operating results to fluctuate include, but are not limited to:
·     
worldwide or regional demand for energy;
·     
domestic and foreign supply of natural gas and oil;
·     
weather conditions;
·     
domestic and foreign governmental regulations;
·     
political conditions in natural gas or oil producing regions;
·     
price and availability of alternative fuels;
·     
availability and cost of drilling equipment;
·     
our ability to establish and maintain key relationships with lessors, drilling partners and drilling funds;
·     
the amount and timing of operating costs and capital expenditures relating to maintaining our business, operations, and infrastructure; and
·     
general economic conditions and economic conditions specific to the energy sector.

These and other external factors have caused and may continue to cause the market price and demand for our common stock to fluctuate substantially, which may limit or prevent investors from readily selling their shares of common stock and may otherwise negatively affect the liquidity of our common stock.

In the past, securities class action litigation has often been brought against companies following periods of volatility in the market price of their securities.  If securities class action litigation is brought against us it could result in substantial costs and a diversion of our management’s attention and resources, which could hurt our business.

Our common stock is subject to penny-stock regulation that may affect the liquidity for our common stock.  Our common stock is subject to regulations of the SEC relating to the market for penny stocks.  These regulations generally require that a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated therewith be delivered to purchasers of penny stocks and impose various sales practice requirements on broker-
 
 
12

 
dealers who sell penny stocks to persons other than established customers and accredited investors.  The regulations applicable to penny stocks may severely affect the market liquidity for our common stock and could limit your ability to sell your securities in the secondary market.

Trading in our Common Stock on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (the “OTCBB”) may be limited, making it more difficult for investors to resell their shares of our Common Stock.  Our Common Stock is quoted on the OTCBB.  The OTCBB is not an exchange and, because trading of securities on the OTCBB is often more sporadic than the trading of securities listed on an exchange or NASDAQ, you may have difficulty reselling any of the shares that you own.

Future legislative changes pertaining to the Alberta crown royalty structure may have a material impact on our ability to obtain financing and therefore limit our future capital programs.  On September 18, 2007, the Alberta Royalty Review Panel released its report providing non-binding recommendations on modifications to the Alberta provincial royalty regime.  The report called for significantly higher royalty rates.  On October 25, 2007, the Alberta provincial government publicly responded to the recommendations and provided a framework for Alberta’s new royalty regime, which is to take effect in January 2009.  The proposed amendments result in higher royalty rates; however, the economic impact to the oil sands sector is not expected to be overly significant to future profitability.  The Company’s oil sands projects are still financially attractive and management intends to proceed with development plans.  However, it is not possible to predict the market response over the long term in light of this new royalty framework, or to ensure our ability to raise capital to proceed with our projects.

ITEM 2.            PROPERTIES

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 Technologies reservoir model were considered in the course of completing our independent engineering appraisal performed by McDaniel & Associates Consultants Ltd.

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 2009.  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 fund our 2008-2009 contemplated operating and capital expenditures, which includes drilling of additional core holes and a 2D and/or 3D seismic program.  We do not have any commitments for additional financing as of this date.

Firebag Oil Sands Area

In townships 91/92 and ranges 2W4, we have 18 gross section (13.5 net) of oil sands leases in the Firebag
 
 
13

 
area.  Based on the results of the 2006 – 2007 exploration program for Firebag, we expensed a substantial portion of our investment in Firebag and we have no current plans for further exploration.  The project will be kept in inventory at a value of $315,394.

Muskwa Oil Sands Area

In townships 85/86 and ranges 24/25W4, we have 10 gross sections (9.5 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.

Leismer Oil Sands Area

We have 2½ gross sections (1.9 net) of land in Leismer area which is south of Fort McMurray.  The property has one core hole that has been drilled.  This property has not yet been assessed and we have no current plans for further exploration.  The project will be kept in inventory.

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

In the past, we generated all of our oil production from the properties sold to Great Northern.  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.

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 2008-2009 drilling program.

Properties Sold to Great Northern.  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 Leismer 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

In January 2008, we retained CIBC World Markets Inc. as our exclusive financial advisor to assist in exploring our alternatives, which may include the sale of our company, merger, reorganization or such other alternatives that are considered to be in the best interest of our stockholders.  We continue to pursue our alternatives with CIBC World Markets Inc.

In pursuing our alternatives, we are looking for candidates that will continue to focus on the oil sands lease development within the Ells River area as described above.  We intend for a candidate to 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 2009.  In addition to the exploration, the candidate 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 are looking for a candidate 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 1670, 700 – 2nd Street SW Avenue, Calgary, Alberta Canada T2P 2W1.  This space accommodates all of its executive and administrative offices.

ITEM 3.          LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

RCS Energy Inc. (“RCS”).  On April 8, 2008, RCS filed an Amended Statement of Claim and an amended Certificate of Lis Pendens in the Court of Queen’s Bench of Alberta Judicial District of Calgary between RCS as Plaintiff and Patch Energy Inc., Patch International Inc., Standard Land Company Inc. and Petroland Services (1986) Ltd. as Defendants seeking judgment for loss and damage in the amount of $305,307.06 (Cdn.) and interest plus costs related to alleged labor, material and oilfield services provided to Defendants with respect to the development of certain oil sands leases.  We filed a Statement of Defense and Counterclaim on May 16, 2008 seeking damages in the amount of $2,400,000 (Cdn.) plus interest and costs.  RCS has also filed liens against certain of our land interests in relation to its claim.  The ultimate outcome of this litigation cannot presently be determined and, accordingly, the financial statements have not been adjusted to allow for a potential loss from the claim.  We intend to vigorously contest the claim.

ITEM 7.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

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.

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
 
 
17

 
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

On January 22, 2008, we announced that the board of directors has unanimously approved a process to review strategic alternatives to maximize stockholder value.  The board of directors has retained CIBC World Markets Inc. as its exclusive financial advisor to assist in exploring strategic alternatives.  These alternatives may include the sale of the company, merger, reorganization or such other alternatives that are considered to be in the best interest of Patch stockholders.  The Board of Directors remains committed to maximizing stockholder value as a result of this process.  The process has yielded a number of competitive proposals, which are under review by the Board of Directors.  Negotiations with potential counterparties are underway.  However, there is no assurance that a definitive agreement will be reached.

During the year ended May 31, 2008, we expended $1.4 million on equipment and exploration of our properties.  We believe that significant additional financing is required to continue to develop our properties.  We believe that engaging in a strategic alternative, such as selling or merging our Company with another entity, will improve our financing options and accelerate the development of our properties.  We are reviewing several possible candidate companies as sale or merger prospects.  There can be no assurances that we will be able to complete a strategic alternative transaction, such as sale or merger of our Company.

We have received, from the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”) conditional approval for the listing of our common shares on the Exchange.  The listing of the shares is conditional on us fulfilling certain requirements.

If we are unsuccessful in completing a strategic alternative transaction, we may seek other options to allow us to continue the development of our properties.  We are still evaluating the options that may be available to us to accomplish such development.  If we do develop the properties ourselves, we intend to focus on the oil sands lease development within the Ells River area.  Such 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.  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.  Within the Muskwa property, exploration activities may include drilling and testing of oil samples for viscosity and pressure transient analysis.

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
 
 
18

 
current events and actions the Company may undertake in the future, actual results may differ from the estimates. Amounts recorded for oil and gas interests and asset retirement obligations are based upon estimated future costs, cash flows and other relevant assumptions. By their nature, these estimates are subject to measurement uncertainty, and the impact on the financial statements of future periods could be material.

Marketable Securities.  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.

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.

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 depreciation, 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.

Flow-through Shares.  A portion of our exploration activities have been financed through the issuance of flow-through common shares and warrants.  Under the terms of these issuances, the related resource expenditure deductions are renounced to the stockholder in accordance with income tax legislation in Canada.  Upon issuance 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 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 recognized on issuance.

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
 
 
19

 
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 of May 31, 2008, comprehensive income included foreign currency translation adjustments.  As of May 31, 2007, the components of comprehensive income included unrealized holding gains and losses on available-for-sale securities and foreign currency translation adjustments.

Stock-Based Compensation.  Effective June 1, 2006, we 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 is recognized 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.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141R, “Business Combinations” and SFAS No. 160, “Non-Controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements”.  The new statements require most identifiable assets, liabilities, non-controlling interests, and goodwill acquired in a business combination to be recorded at “full fair value” and require non-controlling interests to be reported as a component of equity, which changes the accounting or transactions with non-controlling interest holders.  Both statements are effective for periods beginning on or after December 15, 2008.  We are in the process of reviewing the requirements of this recent statement.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115.”  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 the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company.

 
20

 

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. The objective of SFAS No. 157 is to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and to expand disclosures about fair value measurements.  SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  SFAS No. 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 February 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157”.  This FASB Staff Position (FSP) delays the effective date of FASB Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”, for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except for items that are recognized at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually) to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008.  The delay is intended to allow the Board and constituents additional time to consider the effect of various implementation issues that have arisen, or may arise, from the application of FASB No. 157.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133.”  This statement is intended to improve financial reporting of derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity's financial position, financial performance and cash flows.  The provisions of SFAS No. 161 are effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008.  SFAS No. 161 will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2009.  We plan to provide these additional disclosures in the first quarter of 2009.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162 “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”.  SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.  SFAS No. 162 is effective sixty days following the SEC’s approval of PCAOB amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of ‘Present fairly in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles’”.  We are currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of the adoption of SFAS No. 162 on our consolidated financial statements.

Results of Operations

We continue to hold one minor producing property, at MacLeod, Alberta, Canada, and during the year ended May 31, 2008, this property generated revenue of $8,199 and incurred oil and gas production and royalty expense of $61,289 for a net operating loss of $53,090.  This compared to a net operating loss of $14,598 during the year ended May 31, 2007.

General and administrative costs for the year ended May 31, 2008 totaled $3,819,216 compared to $6,621,338 during the same period of 2007.  The decrease in general and administrative costs relates to a reduction in non-cash charges combined with our decreased activity levels.  The non-cash component, related to stock-based compensation, included in general and administrative costs totaled $1,349,804 for the year ended May 31, 2008 compared to $3,136,343 during the previous year.  The balance of the decrease in general and administrative costs is attributed to reduced activity levels during the period.

During the year ended May 31, 2008, we recorded interest expense of $230,020 (2007 – $53,038) which represents the accrued interest charges on the outstanding income tax payable amount.  The income tax payable relates to the Australian taxes payable on the prior year gain from the sale of the Pharmaxis Ltd. shares.

Depletion, depreciation, accretion and impairment of oil and gas interests, dry hole costs and geological and geophysical costs totaled $3,206,986 during the year ended May 31, 2008 compared to $13,220,687 during the year ended May 31, 2007.  Included for the year ended May 31, 2008, was a charge for depletion, depreciation, accretion and impairment of oil and gas interests of $2,419,860, reflecting a reduction in the market value of our undeveloped lands.  In accordance with the
 
 
21

 
guidelines surrounding successful efforts method of accounting we have expensed all geological and geophysical costs incurred and dry hole costs (primarily associated with the Firebag Oil Sands Project).

We earned interest and other income of $112,319 in the year ended May 31, 2008 compared to $206,749 during 2007.  Interest income was earned primarily through the short-term investment of available cash balances.

We recorded financing costs of $946,853 during the year ended May 31, 2008 compared to $633,263 during 2007.  These costs are associated with the amortization of the Black-Scholes fair value of the Agents’ Warrants issued in connection with the private placement of Special Warrants and Flow-through Special Warrants.

During 2008, we recorded a holding gain of $18,178,828 resulting from the difference between the fair market value of the Exchangeable Shares, Special Warrants, Flow-through Special Warrants, Agents’ Warrants, and Bonus Warrants at September 14, 2007 and the recorded values at May 31, 2007.  In 2007, 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 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 Special Warrant and $2.23 per Flow-through Special Warrants).

We recorded a holding loss on marketable securities of $802,647 relating to the shares that we hold in Great Northern Oilsands Inc. (as described in Note 5 of the Consolidated Financial Statements) compared to $1,045,921 during 2007.  In 2008 and 2007, the holding loss is primarily the result of the decrease in the market value of the Great Northern common stock we received in the sale of our assets to Great Northern.

We recorded a gain on foreign exchange of $3,293,143 during the year ended May 31, 2008 compared to $2,620,571 during 2007 as a result of the appreciation in the value of the Canadian dollar in comparison to the United States dollar.  A foreign exchange loss of $430,998 was recorded for the year ended May 31, 2008, relating to the Australian taxes payable on the prior year gain from the sale of the Pharmaxis Ltd. shares.

During the year ended May 31, 2007, we recorded a gain before applicable taxes of $13,684,318 on the sale of 6,791,937 Pharmaxis Ltd. shares.  As of May 31, 2007, we did not own any shares of Pharmaxis Ltd. and we were not involved in any transactions during the year ended May 31, 2008 which involved Pharmaxis Ltd. shares.

Net income for the year ended May 31, 2008 was $11,868,208 ($0.32 per share basic and $0.28 per share diluted) compared to a net loss of $18,622,212 ($1.05 per share basic and diluted) for year ended May 31, 2007.  As described above, net income for the year ended May 31, 2008 includes a one-time holding gain of $18,178,828.

Other comprehensive income comprised a foreign currency translation adjustment gain of $58,598 in 2008, compared to $726,311 in 2007.  In 2007, other comprehensive income also included a reclassification of holding gain of $7,240,999 related to the sale of our Pharmaxis Ltd. shares.

Comprehensive income for the year ended May 31, 2008 is $11,926,806 as compared to a comprehensive loss of $25,136,900 during the year ended May 31, 2007.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

For the fiscal year ended May 31, 2008, we used cash of $4,951,401 in our operating activities as compared to $24,290,924 used during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2007.  The decrease reflects significant reductions in general and administrative costs, dry hole costs and geological and geophysical costs, and related working capital changes.  Investing activities used cash of $691,893 in 2008 as compared to $3,937,470 provided by investing activities in 2007.  We expended $654,207 on our oil and gas interests in 2008 as compared to $10,123,071 in 2007.  In 2007, we realized gross proceeds on the sale of available-for-sale Pharmaxis securities of $13,684,319.

No proceeds were received from financing activities in 2008.  During 2007, financing activities, net of expenses, provided $22,368,080 from the sale of special warrants and common stock.  In 2007, we used $6,309 to acquire shares of our common stock under our stock repurchase plan.

 
22

 

On September 14, 2007, our stockholders approved the increase in our authorized capital stock.  As a result the Special Warrants, Flow-through Special Warrants and Bonus Warrants were converted, for no additional consideration, into 13,785,950 common shares.  In addition, the 9,926,489 Exchangeable Shares of the Company which were issued on the acquisition of Damascus Energy Inc. and 1289307 Alberta Ltd. were reclassified on the balance sheet to Stockholders’ Equity.  These shares are exchangeable into common stock of the Company, for no additional consideration, upon direction by the exchangeable stockholder.  As of May 31, 2008, we had a total of 35,775,724 common shares issued and outstanding.

At May 31, 2008, we had a working capital deficiency of $3,344,421 as compared to working capital of $1,148,501 at May 31, 2007.  We no longer own any available-for-sale securities, having sold the remainder of our Pharmaxis shares in 2007.

Additional financing will be required to fund future capital expenditures and to pay our corporate obligations over the next 12 months.

Our financial statements as at and for the year ended May 31, 2008 have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.  Presently we have a significant working capital deficiency, virtually no production revenue, negative cash flows from operations, and at this time all overhead expenses and exploration activities are financed through the sale of equity securities.  Continuing operations and the recovery of petroleum property costs is dependent up on our ability to access sufficient funds to continue operations, identify commercial oil reserves, generate profitable operations and complete development activities.

The ultimate development of our oil and gas projects, if proven commercial, will require additional funding and our existing cash balance and negative cash flow from operating activities casts doubt on our ability satisfy our current obligations and meet our capital investment commitments.  We are exploring the availability of interim funding.  We are also reviewing strategic alternative with CIBC World Markets Inc. to sell to, merge with, or otherwise develop a relationship with a well-funded partner to assist in the development of our properties.  The future development of our properties and magnitude of its discretionary capital expenditure program will be dependent on the results of efforts with CIBC World Markets Inc.  The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty at this time.

ITEM 9.
CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

On March 5, 2007, we appointed 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.

 
23

 

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 9A.          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.

As a result of the departure of our Chief Financial Officer, the Chief Operating Officer has also assumed the position of interim Chief Financial Officer.  Our Chief Operating Officer and interim Chief Financial Officer evaluated the overall design of internal control procedures during the year ended May 31, 2008, and concluded that, because of its recent growth and the inherent complexity of the accounting for some of its transactions, we do not have sufficient specialized knowledge to address certain technical and complicated accounting issues.  As a result, our consolidated financial statements for 2008 contain recorded year-end material adjustments.  We have, from time-to-time, augmented the consultants used, which provide specialized financial reporting and taxation skills (who are independent of management and our auditors) to assist us with financial reporting of complex accounting issues and tax provision calculations.  We have identified conditions as of May 31, 2008 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 employees engaged in the authorization, recording, processing and reporting of transactions.  In particular, we do not employ a full-time accounting professional.  Also, our current processes and procedures require substantive manual intervention, estimation and reliance on several sources of information that are not integrated with our accounting system.  As a remedy to these deficiencies the Chief Operating Officer and interim Chief Financial Officer performs periodic reviews of financial information to ensure that transactions are properly recorded.  We have taken steps to establish a stronger control environment which will reduce the opportunity to override internal controls.  Dual signatures are now required for all checks issued and we have implemented a more formal process for the approval of all disbursements.  Despite the implementation of these internal controls, our internal control over financial reporting still has material weaknesses.

24

Our management has determined that, despite the material weaknesses in our internal control, all matters to be disclosed in this report have been fully and accurately reported.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting.  Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our chief financial officer and implemented by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our evaluation of internal control over financial reporting includes an analysis under the COSO framework, an integrated framework for the evaluation of internal controls issued to identify the risks and control objectives related to the evaluation of the control environment by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

Based on our evaluation described above, our management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2008.  Management has determined that (i) our inadequate staffing and supervision, (ii) lack of adequate segregation of duties, and (iii) the significant amount of manual intervention required in our accounting and financial reporting process are material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting.

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

Respectfully,
Jason Dagenais, Chief Operating Officer and interim Chief Financial Officer

ITEM 11.         EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

We believe that the skill and dedication of our executive officers and other management personnel are critical factors affecting our long-term success in meeting our objectives and fostering growth and profitability.  In support of this, compensation programs have been designed to attract and retain a high level of talented leadership, to reward performance in accordance with results, to provide an incentive for future performance and to align our executives’ long-term interests with those of the stockholders.

Our executive and key management compensation is comprised of two components: (i) base salary adjusted annually by the Board of Directors, and (ii) stock option grants awarded based on individual performance and the performance of our Company.

The Board of Directors compares all compensation components for executive officers, at least annually, with data on similar positions at other organizations that are similar in number of employees, level of operations, gross revenue and total assets with which we compete for talent.  When evaluating external competitiveness, third party survey data, as well as information from other resources and industry contacts, are considered.  We use this data to ensure that we are maintaining a level of compensation that is both commensurate with our size and sufficient to retain personnel we consider essential.  In reviewing comparative data, we do not engage in benchmarking for the purpose of establishing compensation levels relative to any predetermined point.  In the Board’s view, third party survey data provides insight into external competitiveness, but is not an appropriate single basis for establishing compensation levels.  This is primarily due to differences in the size of comparable companies, and the lack of sufficient appropriate matches to provide statistical relevance.  Our preference is that performance, rather than third party survey data, drive executive compensation.

In the processes used by the Board to establish and adjust executive compensation levels, third party survey data is considered, along with performance, experience, potential and internal equity.  The Board can exercise both positive and negative discretion in relation to the compensation awards and its allocation between cash and non-cash awards.

The Board analyzes compensation levels based on the components of our compensation program set forth below.  The 2008-2009 compensation program may change in light of our cash resources and other factors.

Base Salary – The base salaries of the named executive officers are reviewed annually by the Board and future salary adjustments are reviewed on an annual basis.  The Board considers various factors, including, the position of the named executive officer, the compensation of executive officers of comparable companies within the oil sands industry, the performance of each executive officer, and increases in responsibilities of each executive officer.  Salaries for the named executive officers in fiscal 2008 are set forth in the “Summary Compensation Table” below and were determined by the Board based on the considerations described above.

Stock Option Awards – Stock option awards are utilized for aligning the named executive officers’ interests with those of the stockholders by giving ownership in our Company.  We also believe that these awards serve as a
 
 
28

 
retention incentive since unvested stock options may be forfeited if the executive leaves us.  Furthermore, vested stock options expire 30 days after an executive leaves us.  The Board focuses on the earnings of our Company, the return on stockholders’ equity, the growth in oil reserves and the successful completion of specific projects to determine the level of stock option awards, if any.

During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2008, stock options were granted on February 1, 2008 to the named executive officers and the Board of Directors.  The Committee considered the grants to be appropriate in order to compensate such individuals for the responsibility and risk exposure assumed when serving in such positions, especially in light of the current financial condition of the Company.

The following table sets forth information regarding the remuneration of our executive officers during last three completed fiscal years:

ITEM 13.
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

Michael Vandale

Effective August 29, 2008, Michael Vandale tendered his resignation from the Board of Directors and is no longer affiliated with the management of the Company.  However, Michael Vandale was a director during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2008, and the following disclosure relates to the related party transactions entered into with Michael Vandale.

At the time of the acquisition of Damascus, Michael Vandale, the president and director of Damascus, was a director of Energy.  In connection with the acquisition transaction, Mr. Vandale received $244,840.

In connection with our private placement of 3,240,000 flow-through common stock completed in January 2007, we paid finder’s fees equal to 7% of the amount raised.  Michael Vandale received $114,428 in this regard.

On December 12, 2006, 1286664 Alberta Ltd. (“1286664”), a private Alberta corporation wholly owned by Michael Vandale, entered into a Farmout Agreement with Bounty Developments Ltd relating to the Petroleum and Natural Gas Rights of the Firebag Oil Sands Project.  On December 21, 2006, under the general conveyance agreement, 1286664 conveyed all rights, title and interest in the Firebag Oil Sands Project farmout agreement to 1289307, who issued a promissory note in the amount of $1,000,000 to 1286664.  On December 21, 2006, pursuant to the acquisition of 1289307, we assumed the promissory note issued by 1289307 to 1286664.

In addition, Michael Vandale owes the Company a net amount of $7,679, which includes the promissory note payable to Mr. Vandale of $1,000,000 and a receivable from Mr. Vandale of $1,000,000.

During the year ended May 31, 2008, the Company advanced $66,726 on behalf of Cold Creek Energy with respect to rent on office space.  Michael Vandale, who was a then director of the Company, is also a director of Cold Creek Energy.  As at May 31, 2008, the full amount remained outstanding and the Company has made a full provision against the amount as a result of the uncertainty of collectability.

David Stadnyk

David Stadnyk was formerly one of our officers and directors.  As a condition to closing the acquisition of Damascus, we were required to terminate our management agreement with David Stadnyk.  We paid $175,000 to Mr. Stadnyk as a result of such termination.  We also paid Mr. Stadnyk $49,220 of management fees due and owing at the time of such termination.

At May 31, 2007, David Stadnyk owed the Company $1,075 for miscellaneous items.

Future Transactions

All future affiliated transactions will be made or entered into on terms that are no less favorable to us than those that can be obtained from any unaffiliated third party.  A majority of the independent, disinterested members of our board of directors will approve future affiliated transactions.

Director Independence

Mark L. Bentsen, Roderick D. Maxwell, and Greg L. Belzberg are considered independent directors.  We define director independence in accordance with Rule 4200(a)(15) of the NASDAQ Stock Market Rules.

Independent Auditors’ Report

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Patch International Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Patch International Inc. as of May 31, 2008 and 2007 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years 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 audits.

We conducted our audits 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, 2008 and 2007, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

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.

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.

On May 30, 2008, the stockholders of the Company adopted a resolution to change its jurisdiction of incorporation from the state of Nevada to the province of Alberta, Canada at a special meeting called for the purpose of considering the matter.  The Company must file documents with the state of Nevada and the province of Alberta and await approval before the action will become effective.

2.           FUTURE OPERATIONS/GOING CONCERN

The Company’s financial statements as at and for the year ended May 31, 2008 have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.

Presently the Company has a significant working capital deficiency, no significant production revenue, has incurred negative cash flows from operations, and at this time all overhead expenses and exploration activities are financed by way of equity. Continuing operations and the recovery of petroleum property costs is dependent on the Company’s ability to access sufficient funds to continue operations, identify commercial oil reserves, generate profitable operations and complete development activities. The Company intends to conduct additional bridge financings to sustain its operations until it can merge with or be acquired by a partner with sufficient capital to develop its assets.  To this end, the Company has engaged CIBC World Markets Inc. as its financial advisor.

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon obtaining the necessary financing to conduct operations and complete development activities and generate profitable operations from its oil interests in the future. The Company used $5.0 million of cash flow in its operating activities for the year ended May 31, 2008, had a working capital deficiency of $3.3 million (including taxes payable of $3.4 million) and had an accumulated deficit of $5.8 million as at May 31, 2008. The ultimate development of the Company’s oil and gas projects, if

Patch International Inc.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
May 31, 2008

proven commercial, will require additional funding and the Company’s existing cash balance and cash flow from operating activities may not be sufficient to satisfy its current obligations and meet its capital investment commitments. The Company intends to explore the availability of obtaining additional funding and the magnitude of its discretionary capital expenditure program will be dependent on such funding.  The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty at this time.

Should the going concern assumption not be appropriate and the Company is not able to realize its assets and settle its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of operations, these consolidated financial statements would require adjustments to the amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities, and these adjustments could be significant.

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.

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. Amounts recorded for oil and gas interests and asset retirement obligations are based upon estimated future costs, cash flows and other relevant assumptions. By their nature, these estimates are subject to measurement uncertainty, and the impact on the financial statements of future periods could be material.

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, 2008 and 2007.

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.

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. The associated asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset and depleted and depreciated using a unit-of-production method over the estimated gross proved reserves. Subsequent to the initial measurement of the asset retirement obligations, the obligations are adjusted at the end of each year to reflect the passage of time and changes in the estimated future cash flows underlying the obligation.

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

 
F-10

 
Patch International Inc.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
May 31, 2008

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, 2008, comprehensive income included foreign currency translation adjustments. At May 31, 2007, the components of comprehensive income also included unrealized holding gains and losses on available-for-sale securities and foreign currency translation adjustments.

l)           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 collectability of the revenue is probable.

m)           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.

In June 2006, the FASB issued Financial Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (FIN 48), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” The interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute criteria for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.
The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on June 1, 2007. The adoption of FIN 48 did not impact the consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

The Company is currently open to audit under the statute of limitations by the Internal Revenue Service for all tax periods from June 1, 1999 to May 31, 2008. The Company’s Canadian subsidiary is currently open to audit under the statute of limitations by the Canada Revenue Agency for all tax periods from February 1, 2002 to May 31, 2008. Two former Canadian subsidiary companies (subsequently amalgamated with the surviving Canadian subsidiary) are currently open to audit under the statute of limitations by the Canada Revenue Agency for all tax periods from December 1, 2005 to May 31, 2007.

The Company and its subsidiaries may from time to time be assessed interest or penalties by major tax jurisdictions. In the event an assessment for interest and/or penalties is received, it is classified in the financial statements as general and administrative expense.

n)           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.

o)           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.  Diluted per share amounts reflect the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common shares were exercised or converted to common shares. Anti-dilutive options and warrants are excluded from the calculation.

4.           RECENT PRONOUNCEMENTS

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141R, "Business Combinations" and SFAS 160, "Non-Controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements". The new statements require most identifiable assets, liabilities, non-controlling interests, and goodwill acquired in a business combination to be recorded at "full fair value" and require non-controlling interests to be reported as a component of equity, which changes the accounting or transactions with non-controlling interest holders. Both statements are effective for periods beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Management is in the process of reviewing the requirements of this recent statement.

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. 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 February 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157”.  This FASB Staff Position (FSP) delays the effective date of FASB Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”, for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except for items that are recognized at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually) to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008.  The delay is intended to allow the Board and constituents additional time to consider the effect of various implementation issues that have arisen, or may arise, from the application of FASB Statement No. 157.

FASB Statement No. 161, which amends FASB Statement No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, requires companies with derivative instruments to disclose information about how and why a company uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under FASB Statement No. 133, and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect a company’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows.  The required disclosures include the fair value of derivative instruments and their gains or losses in tabular format, information about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements, counterparty credit risk, and the company’s strategies and objectives for using derivative instruments.  The Statement expands the current disclosure framework in Statement 133.  Statement 161 is effective prospectively for periods beginning on or after November 15, 2008.  The Company plans to provide these additional disclosures in the first quarter of 2009.

In May 2008, the FASB issued FAS No. 162 “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“FAS 162”).  FAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.  FAS 162 is effective sixty days following the SEC’s approval of PCAOB amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of ‘Present fairly in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles’”.  The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of the adoption of FAS 162 on its consolidated financial statements.

9.           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.  Under the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement, because the Company did not have enough authorized shares to effect the transaction, Patch Energy Inc. (“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.  The Exchangeable Shares may 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 per share based upon the market price of the Company’s common shares at the closing date of the transaction.  During the current 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.  During the year ended May 31, 2007, a director of Energy received $244,840 (CAD$283,019) in connection with the acquisition.

The purchase price was allocated to the following assets and liabilities:

(“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.  Under the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement, since 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.  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 per share, based upon the market price of the Company’s common shares at the closing date of the transaction.

The purchase price was allocated to the following assets and liabilities:

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 $12,507,376 (May 31, 2007 - $20,150,772) and is based on the market price of $1.26 per share on September 14, 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 share settlement was not within the control of the Company prior to September 14, 2007 as shareholder approval was required.  As a result of receiving shareholder approval to increase the authorized capital stock of the Company, at the Special Meeting of Stockholders held on September 14, 2007, the balance at this date has been reclassified to exchangeable shares, a component of stockholder's equity.

10.           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 entitled 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.  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 issued to satisfy the exercise of the Bonus Warrants 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 shares of the Company’s common stock.

On September 14, 2007, the Company received shareholder approval to increase its authorized capital stock and the Special Warrants, Flow-through Special Warrants and the 166,040 Bonus Warrants which were issuable as the result of the Company not meeting its April 28, 2007 filing deadlines, as described above, were issued and converted into 13,121,790 common shares of the Company, without additional consideration.  An additional 664,160 Bonus Warrants were converted into 664,160 shares of the Company’s common stock, without additional consideration, as the September 25, 2007 filing deadlines were also not met by the Company. The fair value of the bonus warrants has been expensed.

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

Patch International Inc.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
May 31, 2008

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, 2008, $946,853 has been determined to be the fair value representing the vested portion of the Agents’ Warrants and has been included in financing costs.

Prior to September 14, 2007, the Company had 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 was fair valued at September 14, 2007, using the market price of $1.26 per share.  Upon receipt of the required approvals, this amount was reclassified to additional paid in capital ($15,629,382) and common stock ($13,122), each a component of stockholder’s equity.

11.           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, 2008, the total undiscounted value of the total asset retirement obligation is estimated to be $160,354.  These payments are expected to be made over the next 2 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.  The following table reconciles the Company’s asset retirement obligations:

12.           PREFERRED STOCK

The Company authorized two classes of preferred voting stock during the year ended May 31, 2007 as follows: one share of Class A Preferred Voting Stock, par value of $0.01 per share, and 10,000 shares of Class B Preferred Voting Stock, par value of $0.01 per share.  Refer to Notes 9(a) and (b).

The Class A Preferred Voting Stock has no dividend, or liquidation preferences over common stock holders.  This Class A Preferred Voting Share entitles 1286664 Alberta Ltd., as the trustee under the Exchange and Voting Trust Agreement and registered holder thereof, to attend and vote at all meetings of holders of shares of the Company’s common stock on behalf of the former shareholders of Damascus.  The maximum number of votes attached to this Class A Preferred Voting Share is that number of shares of the Company’s common stock into which the Exchangeable Shares issued in conjunction with the Class A Preferred Voting Share and at that time outstanding are then exchangeable, which is 8,176,489 as of the date of this financial statement.  The Class A Preferred Voting Share may be voted by proxy on all matters that may properly come before a meeting of the Company’s common shareholders. Prior to delivering a Class A Preferred Voting Share proxy, the trustee of the Class A Preferred Voting Share shall be obligated to determine the manner in which the holders of the then outstanding Exchangeable Shares issued in conjunction with the Class A Preferred Voting Share would vote on each matter put before the meeting of common shareholders.  The holder of the Class A Preferred Voting Share is then obligated to complete the Class A Preferred Voting Share proxy and record as votes in favour of the matter that number of votes equal to the number of common shares into which the Exchangeable Shares which voted in favour of the matter are then exchangeable and record as votes against the matter that number of votes equal to the number of the common shares into which the Exchangeable Shares which voted against the matter are then exchangeable.  The trustee is not entitled to cast any vote (either positive or negative) for which proxies have not been returned by the holder of the Exchangeable Shares.

The Company has also designated 10,000 shares of Class B Preferred Voting Stock, of which one share is issued and outstanding.  The Class B Preferred Voting Stock has no dividend or liquidation preferences over common stock holders.  This Class B Preferred Voting Share entitles 1286664 Alberta Ltd., as the trustee under the Exchange and Voting Trust Agreement and registered holder thereof, to attend and vote at all meetings of holders of shares of the Company’s common stock on behalf of the shareholders of 1289307 Alberta Ltd.  The maximum number of votes attached to this Class B Preferred Voting Share is that number of shares of the Company’s common stock into which the Exchangeable Shares issued in conjunction with the Class B Preferred Voting Share and at that time outstanding are then exchangeable, which is 500,000 as of the date of this financial statement.  Except for the number of votes, the Class B Preferred Voting Stock is identical to the Class A Preferred Voting Stock.

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, 2008, stock-based compensation amounting to $1,349,804 (2007 - $3,136,343) was recorded and expensed. During the year ended May 31, 2008, stock options for stock-based compensation were issued as follows: 40,000 stock options priced at $2.32 per share and 1,450,000 stock options priced at $0.35 per share.

As of May 31, 2008, there was $2,406,992 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the Plan.  That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.98 years.

The weighted average fair value of the options granted during the year ended May 31, 2008 was $0.31 and was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following weighted-average assumptions: a dividend yield of 0.0%; expected volatility of 124%; risk free interest rate of 4.02%; and expected life of 5.0 years. The weighted average fair value of the options granted during the year ended May 31, 2007 was $1.73 and was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following weighted-average assumptions: a dividend yield of 0.0%; expected volatility of 148%; risk free interest rate of 4.59%; and expected life of 5.0 years.

Per Share Amounts

Basic per share amounts are calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted per share amounts are calculated based in accordance with SFAS No. 128, which assumes that any proceeds obtained on exercise of options would be used to purchase common shares at the average price during the period. The weighted average number of shares outstanding is then adjusted by this amount. In computing diluted net earnings per share for the year ended May 31, 2008, a total of 4,250,000 (2007 – 3,225,000) options were excluded from the diluted calculations as they were not dilutive.

14.           DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On March 8, 2007, the Company completed a disposition of the majority of the Company’s conventional oil and gas properties in Western Canada to Great Northern Oilsands Inc.  The Company received cash, before transaction costs, of $778,590 (CAD$900,000) and 1,000,000 Rule 144 restricted shares of Great Northern Oilsands Inc.  The shares received were valued at $1,816,710 (CAD$2,100,000) at the date of the transaction, for total consideration of $2,595,300 (CAD$3,000,000).

15.   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. The potential benefit of a net U.S. foreign tax credit carryforward 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 carryforward in future years. At May 31, 2008, the Company had net operating losses for U.S. federal income tax purposes of $1.4 million and had non-capital loss carryforwards for Canadian income tax purposes of $5.4 million, which begin expiring in fiscal 2011. 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, 2008, a valuation allowance of $466,827 was provided to offset deferred tax assets arising from US net operating losses.

The provision for income taxes consists of the following:

18.           CONTINGENCIES

The Company has received three claims relating to work performed with respect to its 2007/2008 winter drilling program.  These claims total $1.8 million.  As these activities were not authorized by the Company, it is management’s view that the claims are without merit.  Amounts paid, if any, by the Company to settle this dispute will be recorded when the amounts become known.

19.           SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On August 29, 2008, a director resigned from the Company.  As a result, unless exercised, 500,000 stock options will be cancelled on September 28, 2008.

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 in Canada.

Future cash flows are computed by applying

Future cash flows are computed by applying fiscal period end prices of oil and natural gas to period end quantities of proved oil and natural gas 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 oil and natural gas reserves at the end of the period, based on period end costs and assuming continuation of existing economic conditions.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
May 31, 2008

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 oil and natural gas 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 oil and natural gas producing operations.
