Exchange Rates

In this Annual Report, unless otherwise specified, all dollar amounts are expressed in United States Dollars (USD$).  The Government of Canada permits a floating exchange rate to determine the value of the Canadian Dollar against the U.S. Dollar (US$), therefore, this annual report may contain conversions of certain amounts in United States dollars into the Company’s functional currency, Canadian dollars, based upon the exchange rate in effect at the end of the month or of the fiscal year to which the amount relates, or the exchange rate on the date specified. For such purposes, the exchange rate means the historical exchange rates as reported by www.OANDA.com, which compiles rates based on tens of thousands of different price points, collected every few seconds, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year from live data suppliers (for instance Bank of Canada) and uses them to compute interbank market rates. These translations should not be construed as representations that the Canadian dollar amounts actually represent such United States dollar amounts or that Canadian dollars could be converted into United States dollars at the rate indicated or at any other rate.

The following table sets forth the exchange rates for the Canadian Dollar at the end of each of the three fiscal years ended December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010, and the average rates for the period and the range of high and low rates for the period.  The data for March, 2013 and for each month during the most recent six months is also provided.

Exchange Rates for Canadian Versus U.S. Dollars

The exchange rate as of December 31, 2012 was CDN $1.00 per U.S. $1.00.

The exchange rate as of April 2, 2013 was CDN $1.01 per U.S. $1.00.

D. Risk Factors

An investment in the Company has a high degree of risk.  Before you invest you should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below and the other information in this annual report.  If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, operating results and financial condition could be harmed and the value of our stock could go down.  This means you could lose all or a part of your investment.

RISKS RELATING TO OUR COMPANY

1.           We are an exploration stage company, with limited operating history, which raises substantial doubt as to our ability to successfully develop profitable business operations and makes an investment in our common shares very risky.

We have only recently commenced oil and gas exploration operations.  Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered in establishing a business in the oil and natural gas industries.  We have yet to generate any revenues from operations.  There is nothing at this time on which to base an assumption that our business operations will prove to be successful or that we will ever be able to operate profitably.  Our future operating results will depend on many factors, including:

· our ability to raise adequate working capital;

· success of our exploration and development;

· demand for natural gas and oil;

· the level of our competition;

· our ability to attract and maintain key management and employees; and

· our ability to efficiently explore, develop and produce sufficient quantities of marketable natural gas or oil in a highly competitive and speculative environment while maintaining quality and controlling costs.

To achieve profitable operations, we must, alone or with others, successfully execute on the factors stated above.  If we are not successful in executing any of the above stated factors, our business will not be profitable and may never even generate any revenue, which make our common shares a less attractive investment and may harm the trading of our common shares trading on the OTCBB and OTC Markets.

7

2.           At this stage of our business, even with our good faith efforts, potential investors have a high probability of losing their investment.

Because the nature of our business is expected to change as a result of shifts in the market price of oil and natural gas, competition, and the development of new and improved technology, management forecasts are not necessarily indicative of future operations and should not be relied upon as an indication of future performance.

Our Management may incorrectly estimate projected occurrences and events within the timetable of its business plan, which would have an adverse effect on our results of operations and, consequently, make our common shares a less attractive investment and harm the trading of our common shares trading on the OTCBB and OTC Markets.  Investors may find it difficult to sell their shares on the OTCBB and OTC Markets.

3.           If capital is not available to fund future operations, we will not be able to pursue our business plan and operations would come to a halt and our common shares would be nearly worthless.

Cash on hand is not sufficient to fund our anticipated operating needs for the next twelve months.  We will require substantial additional capital to participate in the development of our properties which have not had any production of oil or natural gas as well as for acquisition and/or development of other producing properties.  Because we currently do not have any cash flow from operations we need to raise additional capital, which may be in the form of loans from current shareholders and/or from private equity offerings.  Our ability to access capital will depend on our success in participating in properties that are successful in exploring for and producing oil and gas at profitable prices.  It will also be dependent upon the status of the capital markets at the time such capital is sought.  Should sufficient capital not be available, the development of our business plan could be delayed and, accordingly, the implementation of our business strategy would be adversely affected. In such event it would not be likely that investors would obtain a profitable return on their investments or a return of their investments at all.

4.           We are heavily dependent on Ron Daems, our CEO, President and Chairman.  The loss of Mr. Daems, whose knowledge, leadership and technical expertise upon which we rely, would harm our ability to execute our business plan.

Our success depends heavily upon the continued contributions of Ron Daems, whose knowledge, leadership and technical expertise would be difficult to replace.  Our success is also dependent on our ability to retain and attract experienced engineers, geoscientists and other technical and professional staff.  We do not maintain any key person insurance on Mr. Daems.  If we were to lose his services, our ability to execute our business plan would be harmed and we may be forced to cease operations until such time, if ever, as we could hire a suitable replacement for Mr. Daems.

5.           Volatility of oil and gas prices and markets could make it more difficult for us to achieve profitability and less likely for investors in our common shares to receive a return on their investment.

Our ability to achieve profitability is substantially dependent on prevailing prices for natural gas and oil.  The amounts of and price obtainable for any oil and gas production that we achieve will be affected by market factors beyond our control.  If these factors are not favorable over time to our financial interests, it is likely that owners of our common shares will lose their investments. Such factors include:

· worldwide or regional demand for energy, which is affected by economic conditions;

· the domestic and foreign supply of natural gas and oil;

· weather conditions;

· domestic and foreign governmental regulations;

· political conditions in natural gas and oil producing regions;

· the ability of members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries to agree upon and maintain oil prices and production levels; and

· the price and availability of other fuels.

6.           Drilling wells is speculative, often involving significant costs that may be more than our estimates.  Any material inaccuracies in drilling costs, estimates or underlying assumptions will reduce the profitability of our business and will negatively affect our results of operations.

Developing and exploring for natural gas and oil involves a high degree of operational and financial risk, which precludes definitive statements as to the time required and costs involved in reaching certain objectives.  The budgeted costs of drilling, completing and operating wells are often exceeded and can increase significantly when drilling costs rise due to a tightening in the supply of various types of oilfield equipment and related services.  Drilling may be unsuccessful for many reasons, including title problems, weather, cost overruns, equipment shortages and mechanical difficulties.  Moreover, the successful drilling of a natural gas or oil well does not ensure a profit on investment.  Exploratory wells bear a much greater risk of loss than development wells.  A variety of factors, both geological and market-related, can cause a well to become uneconomical or only marginally economic such as:

8

· fires;

· explosions;

· blow-outs and surface cratering;

· uncontrollable flows of oil, natural gas, and formation water;

· natural disasters, such as hurricanes and other adverse weather conditions;

· pipe, cement, or pipeline failures;

· casing collapses;

· embedded oil field drilling and service tools;

· abnormally pressured formations; and

· environmental hazards, such as natural gas leaks, oil spills, pipeline ruptures and discharges of toxic gases.

If we experience any of these problems, it could affect well bores, gathering systems and processing facilities, which could adversely affect our ability to conduct operations.  We could also incur substantial losses as a result of:

· injury or loss of life;

· severe damage to and destruction of property, natural resources and equipment;

· pollution and other environmental damage;

· clean-up responsibilities;

· regulatory investigation and penalties;

· suspension of our operations; and

· repairs to resume operations.

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

Shortages or an increase in cost of drilling rigs, equipment, supplies or personnel could delay or interrupt our operations, which could impact our financial condition and results of operations.  Drilling activity in the geographic areas in which we conduct drilling activities may increase, which would lead to increases in associated costs, including those related to drilling rigs, equipment, supplies and personnel and the services and products of other vendors to the industry.  Increased drilling activity in these areas may also decrease the availability of rigs.  We do not have any contracts with providers of drilling rigs and, consequently we may not be able to obtain drilling rigs when we need them.  Therefore, our drilling and other costs may increase further and necessary equipment and services may not be available to us at economical prices.

8.           We are subject to complex laws and regulations, including environmental regulations, which can adversely affect the cost, manner or feasibility of doing business.

Development, production and sale of natural gas and oil in Canada are subject to extensive laws and regulations, including environmental laws and regulations.  We may be required to make large expenditures to comply with environmental and other governmental regulations.  Matters subject to regulation include:

· location and density of wells;

· the handling of drilling fluids and obtaining discharge permits for drilling operations;

· accounting for and payment of royalties on production from state, federal and Indian lands;

· bonds for ownership, development and production of natural gas and oil properties;

· transportation of natural gas and oil by pipelines;

· operation of wells and reports concerning operations; and

· taxation.

Under these laws and regulations, we could be liable for personal injuries, property damage, oil spills, discharge of hazardous materials, remediation and clean-up costs and other environmental damages.  Failure to comply with these laws and regulations also may result in the suspension or termination of our operations and subject us to administrative, civil and criminal penalties.  Moreover, these laws and regulations could change in ways that substantially increase our costs.  Accordingly, any of these liabilities, penalties, suspensions, terminations or regulatory changes could materially adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations enough to possibly force us to cease our business operations.

9.           Our oil and gas operations may expose us to environmental liabilities.

If we experience any leakage of crude oil and/or gas from the subsurface portions of a well, our gathering system could cause degradation of fresh groundwater resources, as well as surface damage, potentially resulting in suspension of operation of a well, fines and penalties from governmental agencies, expenditures for remediation of the affected resource, and liabilities to third parties for property damages and personal injuries.  In addition, any sale of residual crude oil collected as part of the drilling and recovery process could impose liability on us if the entity to which the oil was transferred fails to manage the material in accordance with applicable environmental health and safety laws.

9

10.           Exploratory drilling involves many risks, and we may become liable for pollution or other liabilities that may have an adverse effect on our financial position.

Drilling operations generally involve a high degree of risk.  Hazards such as unusual or unexpected geological formations, power outages, labor disruptions, blow-outs, sour gas leakage, fire, inability to obtain suitable or adequate machinery, equipment or labor, and other risks are involved.  We may become subject to liability for pollution or hazards against which we cannot adequately insure or which we may elect not to insure.  Incurring any such liability may have a material adverse effect on our financial position and operations.

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

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

12.           Our auditors’ opinion on our December 31, 2012 financial statements includes an explanatory paragraph in respect of there being substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

We have incurred net losses of $13,116,797 from July 1, 2005 (the date we commenced our oil and gas operations) to December 31, 2012.  Our financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.  We anticipate generating losses for at least the next 12 months.  Therefore, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue operations in the future as a going concern.  We will need to obtain additional funds in the future.  Our plans to deal with this cash requirement include loans from existing shareholders, raising additional capital from the private sale of our equity securities or entering into a strategic arrangement with a third party.  If we cannot continue as a viable entity, our shareholders may lose some or all of their investment in our company.

13.           If we do not maintain the property lease payments on our properties, we will lose our interest in the properties as well as losing all monies incurred in connection with the properties.

We have two land packages in Alberta, Canada that were acquired through auction directly from the government of Alberta.  The land packages are made up of a number of underlying individual leases.  All of our leases require annual lease payments to the Alberta provincial government.  See Item 4.D for a more detailed description of the property obligations.  If we do not continue to make the annual lease payments, we will lose our ability to explore and develop the properties and we will not retain any kind of interest in the properties.

14.           We may not be able to compete with current and potential exploration companies, some of whom have greater resources and experience than we do in locating and commercializing oil and natural gas reserves.

The natural gas and oil market is intensely competitive, highly fragmented and subject to rapid change.  We may be unable to compete successfully with our existing competitors or with any new competitors.  We compete with many exploration companies that have significantly greater personnel, financial, managerial, and technical resources than we do.  This competition from other companies with greater resources and reputations may result in our failure to maintain or expand our business.

15.           We expect losses to continue in the future because we have no oil or gas reserves and, consequently, no revenue to offset losses.

Based upon the fact that we currently do not have any oil or gas reserves, we expect to incur operating losses in next 12 months.  The operating losses will occur because there are expenses associated with the acquisition, exploration, and development of natural gas and oil properties that do not have any income-producing reserves.  Failure to generate revenues may cause us to go out of business.  We will require additional funds to achieve our current business strategy and our inability to obtain additional financing will interfere with our ability to expand our current business operations.

16.           Because we are in the exploration stage of operations of our business our securities are considered highly speculative.

We are in the exploration stage of our business.  As a result, our securities must be considered highly speculative.  We are engaged in the business of exploring and, if warranted and feasible, developing natural gas and oil properties.  Our current properties are without known reserves of natural gas or oil.  Accordingly, we have not generated any revenues nor have we realized a profit from our operations to date and there is little likelihood that we will generate any revenues or realize any profits in the short term.  Any profitability in the future from our business will be dependent upon locating and developing economic reserves of natural gas and oil, which itself is subject to numerous risk factors as set forth herein.  Since we have not generated any revenues, we will have to raise additional funds through loans from existing shareholders, the sale of our equity securities or strategic arrangement with a third party in order to continue our business operations.

17.           Since our Directors work for other natural resource exploration companies, their other activities for those other companies could slow down our operations or negatively affect our profitability.

Our Officer and Directors are not required to work exclusively for us and they do not devote all of their time to our operations.  In fact, our Directors work for other natural resource exploration companies.  Therefore, it is possible that a conflict of interest with regard to their time may arise based on their consulting or employment by such other companies.  Their other activities could slow our operations and may reduce our financial results because of the slowdown in operations.  It is expected that each of our Directors will devote approximately 1 hour per week to our operations on an ongoing basis, and when required will devote whole days and even multiple days at a stretch when property visits are required or when extensive analysis of information is needed.

RISKS RELATING TO OUR COMMON SHARES

18.           We may, in the future, issue additional common shares, which would reduce investors’ percentage of ownership and may dilute our share value.

Our Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of an unlimited number of common shares without par value and an unlimited number of preferred shares without par value.  The future issuance of our unlimited authorized common shares may result in substantial dilution in the percentage of our common shares held by our then existing shareholders.  We may value any common shares issued in the future on an arbitrary basis.  The issuance of common shares for future services or acquisitions or other corporate actions may have the effect of diluting the value of the shares held by our investors, and might have an adverse effect on any trading market for our common shares.

19.           Our common shares are subject to the "Penny Stock" Rules of the SEC and we have no established market for our securities, which makes transactions in our stock cumbersome and may reduce the value of an investment in our stock.

Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 15g-2 promulgated thereunder by the Commission require broker-dealers dealing in penny stocks to provide potential investors with a document disclosing the risks of penny stocks and to obtain a manually signed and dated written receipt of the document before effecting any transaction in a penny stock for the investor's account.  These rules may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market, if and when one develops.  Potential investors in the Company’s common stock are urged to obtain and read such disclosures carefully before purchasing any shares that are deemed to be "penny stock."  Moreover, the Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes the definition of a "penny stock," for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than USD $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than USD $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions.  For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require:

· That a broker or dealer approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks; and

· that the broker or dealer  receive from the investor a written  agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased.

In order to approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must:

· Obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person; and

· make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating  the  risks of  transactions in penny stocks.

The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the Commission relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form sets forth:

· The basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination;  and

· that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the  investor  prior to the transaction.

Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the "penny stock" rules.  This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our common shares and may cause a decline in the market value of our stock.

Pursuant to the Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990, broker-dealers are further obligated to provide customers with monthly account statements. Compliance with the foregoing requirements may make it more difficult for investors in the Company's stock to resell their shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of them in the market or otherwise.

20.           We are a “foreign private issuer”, and you may not have access to the information you could obtain about us if we were not a “foreign private issuer”.

We are considered a "foreign private issuer" under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.  As a foreign private issuer we will not have to file quarterly reports with the SEC nor will our Directors, Officer and 10% stockholders be subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act.  As a foreign private issuer we will not be subject to the proxy rules of Section 14 of the Exchange Act.  Furthermore, Regulation FD does not apply to non-U.S. companies and will not apply to us.  Accordingly, you may not be able to obtain some of the information about us that you could obtain if we were not a “foreign private issuer”.

21.           Because we do not intend to pay any cash dividends on our Common shares, our stockholders will not be able to receive a return on their shares unless they sell them.

We intend to retain any future earnings to finance the development and expansion of our business.  We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common shares in the foreseeable future.  Unless we pay dividends, our stockholders will not be able to receive a return on their shares unless they sell them.

22.           We may become a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, which could result in adverse U.S. tax consequences to U.S. investors.

If we are a “passive foreign investment company” or “PFIC” as defined in Section 1297 of the Code, U.S. Holders will be subject to U.S. federal income taxation under one of two alternative tax regimes at the election of each such U.S. Holder. Section 1297 of the Code defines a PFIC as a corporation that is not formed in the United States and either (i) 75% or more of its gross income for the taxable year is “passive income”, which generally includes interest, dividends and certain rents and royalties or (ii) the average percentage, by fair market value (or, if we elect, adjusted tax basis), of its assets that produce or are held for the production of “passive income” is 50% or more.  Whether we are a PFIC in any year and the tax consequences relating to PFIC status will depend on the composition of our income and assets, including cash.  U.S. Holders should be aware, however, that if we become a PFIC, we may not be able or willing to satisfy record-keeping requirements that would enable U.S. Holders to make an election to treat us as a “qualified electing fund” for purposes of one of the two alternative tax regimes applicable to a PFIC, which would result in adverse tax consequences to our shareholders who are U.S. citizens.

23.           Because we are organized under the Canada Business Corporations Act and all of our assets and certain of our Officers and Directors are located outside the United States, it may be difficult for an investor to enforce within the United States any judgments obtained against us or our Officers and Directors.

All of our assets are located outside of the United States and we do not currently maintain a permanent place of business within the United States. In addition, certain of our Directors and Officers are nationals and/or residents of countries other than the United States, and all or a substantial portion of such persons' assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for an investor to effect service of process or enforce within the United States any judgments obtained against us or our Officers or Directors, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state thereof. In addition, there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of Canada would recognize or enforce judgments of United States courts obtained against us or our Directors and Officers predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state thereof. There is even uncertainty as to whether the Canadian courts would have jurisdiction to hear original actions brought in Canada against us or our Directors and Officers predicated upon the securities laws of the United States or any state thereof.

Item 4. Information on Strata Oil & Gas Inc.

A. History and Development of Strata Oil & Gas Inc.

Strata Oil & Gas Inc. is a company principally engaged in the acquisition and exploration of oil and gas properties. We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on November 18, 1998 and commenced operations in January 1999. We completed our initial public offering in February 2000.   The Company operates in the oil and gas industry with a focus on Canada’s carbonate-hosted bitumen deposits.  The Company has interests in a total of 18 oil sands leases located in Northern Alberta, Canada.

Continuance to Canada

We are presently incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act. On April 22, 2003, the Company filed a registration statement to effect a continuation of our corporate jurisdiction from the State of Nevada to Canada on Form S-4 with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The Form S-4 was declared effective on or about July 7, 2004. On September 13, 2004, Strata filed a Form 8-A with the SEC registering its class of common shares under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act.

Discontinued Operations

Until the end of June 2005, the Company had developed software that was designed to allow users to interface with and manage databases and customer relationships. On June 29, 2005 a majority of the Company’s shareholders approved a change in the business of the Company from software development to oil and gas exploration.

B. Business Overview

REFER TO SECTION 4.A “HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE COMPANY” FOR INFORMATION REGARDING THE COMPANY’S HISTORY AND BUSINESS ACTIVITIES.

BUSINESS DESCRIPTION

The Company currently has interests in oil sands properties located in the Peace River and Wabiskaw areas of Northern Alberta, Canada.

The Company is an exploration stage company and there is no assurance that a commercially viable oil or gas deposit exists on any of its properties.  Further evaluation will be required on each property before a final evaluation as to the economics and legal feasibility of the property is determined.

The Company originally had an interest in 43 oil sands leases in northern Alberta, Canada.  In December 2010, the Company sold 25 of its oil sands leases to an Alberta company.  As of December 31, 2012 the Company currently has interests in oil sands properties located in the Peace River and Wabiskaw areas of Northern Alberta, Canada including 17 leases in the Peace River oil sands area and one lease in the Athabasca oil sands area.

MATERIAL EFFECTS OF GOVERNMENT REGULATION

Development, production and sale of natural gas and oil in Canada are subject to extensive laws and regulations, including environmental laws and regulations.  The oil and gas leases currently leased by the Company are owned by the Province of Alberta and are managed by the Department of Energy.  We may be required to make large expenditures to comply with environmental and other governmental regulations.  Matters subject to regulation include:

· location and density of wells;

· the handling of drilling fluids and obtaining discharge permits for drilling operations;

· accounting for and payment of royalties on production from state, federal and Indian lands;

· bonds for ownership, development and production of natural gas and oil properties;

· transportation of natural gas and oil by pipelines;

· operation of wells and reports concerning operations; and

· taxation.

Under these laws and regulations, we could be liable for personal injuries, property damage, oil spills, discharge of hazardous materials, remediation and clean-up costs and other environmental damages.  Failure to comply with these laws and regulations also may result in the suspension or termination of our operations and subject us to administrative, civil and criminal penalties.  Moreover, these laws and regulations could change in ways that substantially increase our costs.  Accordingly, any of these liabilities, penalties, suspensions, terminations or regulatory changes could materially adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations enough to possibly force us to cease our business operations.

SEASONALITY, DEPENDENCY UPON PATENTS, LICENSES, CONTRACTS, PROCESSES, SOURCES AND AVAILABILTY OF RAW MATERIALS

Certain of the Company’s properties are in remote locations and subject to significant temperature variations and changes in working conditions.  It may not be possible to actively explore the Company’s properties in Alberta throughout the year due to seasonal changes in the weather.  If exploration is pursued at the wrong time of year, the Company may incur additional costs to address issues relating to the weather.

Shortages or an increase in cost of drilling rigs, equipment, supplies or personnel could delay or interrupt our operations, which could impact our financial condition and results of operations.  Drilling activity in the geographic areas in which we conduct drilling activities may increase, which would lead to increases in associated costs, including those related to drilling rigs, equipment, supplies and personnel and the services and products of other vendors to the industry.  Increased drilling activity in these areas may also decrease the availability of rigs.  We do not have any contracts with providers of drilling rigs and, consequently we may not be able to obtain drilling rigs when we need them.  Therefore, our drilling and other costs may increase further and necessary equipment and services may not be available to us at economical prices.

COMPETITION

The natural gas and oil exploration industry is intensely competitive, highly fragmented and subject to rapid change.  We may be unable to compete successfully with our existing competitors or with any new competitors.  We compete with many exploration companies that have significantly greater personnel, financial, managerial, and technical resources.  This competition from other companies with greater resources and reputations may result in our failure to maintain or expand our business.

13

C. Organizational Structure

The Company is not part of a group and has no subsidiaries.

D. Property, Plant and Equipment

CORPORATE OFFICES

We do not own any real property.  Our corporate offices are located at 408 - 918 16th Ave NW, Calgary, AB T2M 0K3.  We believe that the facilities will be adequate for the foreseeable future.  All costs described in this section are stated in U.S. dollars as converted from Canadian dollars.  Accordingly, the costs may vary to some degree with the currency exchange rate.

OIL SANDS LEASES

The Company currently has an interest in 18 oil sands leases in northern Alberta, Canada.  17 of the leases are located in the Peace River oil sands area, and 1 lease is located in the Athabasca oil sands area.

Oil Sands Background

“Oil Sands” refers to unconsolidated, bitumen-saturated sands containing varying amounts of clay and rock material.  The bitumen content refers to a heavy, viscous crude oil that generally does not flow under natural reservoir conditions.  As a result, it cannot be recovered from a conventional well the way lighter oil is most often produced.  The oil sands are contained in three major areas beneath an approximate 140,800 square kilometers (54,363 square miles) of north-eastern Alberta - an area larger than the state of Florida.  As of December 2002, according to the Alberta Department of Energy, these three areas, Athabasca/Wabiskaw, Peace River, and Cold Lake, contained 1.6 trillion barrels of bitumen in-place, of which 174 billion barrels are proven reserves that can be recovered using current technology.

These deposits contain a significant amount of oil but until recently the cost of extraction has created a barrier to economic development.  Extraction of oil from oil sands requires technologically intensive activity and the input of significant amounts of energy to exploit the oil sands deposits.  There are two main types of oil sands production methods: mining and in-situ.  Oil sands mining is accomplished using an open pit operation whereby the oil sands are dug up and trucked to a processing facility.  For oil sands reservoirs too deep to support economic surface mining, some form of in-situ recovery is required to produce bitumen.  In-situ production is similar to that of conventional oil production where oil is recovered through a well.  The Alberta Energy and Utilities Board estimates that 80 percent of the total bitumen ultimately recovered will be with in-situ techniques.  Numerous in-situ technologies have been developed that apply thermal energy to heat the bitumen and allow it to flow to the well bore.

There are some oil sands reservoirs where primary or “cold” production is possible.  The lighter bitumen in these areas can flow towards a well and bitumen production can be enhanced by the co-production of sand, thereby creating a down hole cavity around the well bore which facilitates the flow of oil towards the well.  This type of production technology is commonly referred to as “Cold Heavy Oil Production with Sand” (“CHOPS”).  While this type of bitumen is marginally lighter and less viscous than the conventional bitumen found in mineable and other in-situ reserves, it is also slightly heavier than the conventional “Heavy Oil” reservoirs produced in the “heavy oil belt” region, located around the central Alberta - Saskatchewan border.  Another production technology, which may be suitable for some of the lighter oil sands reservoirs, is the use of horizontal well bores.  Horizontal production wells, which have been drilled up to more than 2 kilometers away from their surface locations, have been successfully applied to cold in-situ bitumen production, where it is suitable.  In general, open pit oil sands mines are found in central Athabasca deposits, while in-situ bitumen production technology is used in the Cold Lake, south Athabasca, and Peace River deposits, where the overburden thickness exceeds 50 meters.

Oil in oil sands is found mainly in high porosity quartz arenites to arkosic sands that cover large areas and lie up-dip from the purported source rocks to the southwest.  There are also vast amounts of heavy oil as well in fractured carbonate rocks of 10-14% porosity underlying a large triangular region of north central Alberta.  In addition, there is a large amount of heavy oil in a series of thinner blanket sands and channel sands extending all the way from Suffield, Alberta to zones overlying the Cold Lake Oil Sands near Bonnyville, and extending well into Saskatchewan.  The latter deposits called the ‘heavy oil belt” are the sites of the most development attention because the oil is less viscous and it can be produced using either CHOPS or horizontal well technology.

The source rocks for the oil sands are from the Cretaceous and Jurassic shales in the Alberta Syncline.  Rapid sedimentation of organic rich argillaceous material caused large flow volumes to be generated as the result of compaction.  Deep burial of the kerogeneous source rocks allowed organic diagenesis to occur resulting in the generation of oil and gas from the kerogen.  The oil sands are 98% un-cemented (unconsolidated sandstones).  The ingress of bitumen has essentially stopped diagenetic processes and the sands do show strong evidence of the early effects of pressure solution and re-crystallization but true cementation is quite rare as are significant calcite cemented zones.

14

Carboniferous Oil Sands

Strata has focused its efforts on carbonate-hosted bitumen sands.  The carbonates are the next challenge in the Alberta oil sands industry. Like oil sands two decades ago, carbonates represent an enormous and relatively untapped petroleum resource. The means for producing bitumen from carbonates is still being studied.  The nature of the carbonate triangle in Alberta tends to vary and there is unlikely to be a single one-si -fits-all strategy for production.  Cold production may be possible in some areas although in most cases production requires an in-situ treatment. Various technologies have been tested and others considered, including similar technologies to those employed in oil sands (cyclic steam, SAGD, etc.). Bitumen carbonates are still being studied, and as yet there are several techniques which may prove to be effective.  We are in the process of determining the most efficient means of producing the bitumen from our Peace River project.

Carbonate oil sands are an unconventional resource that remains almost untapped.  While much of the world now knows about Alberta’s vast oil sands resource, many people are unaware that a bitumen resource of similar magnitude is locked in carbonate rock.  According to a report by Petroleum Technology Alliance Canada (PTAC), 26% of Alberta’s bitumen resources are contained in carbonate rather than sand formations.  One northern Alberta carbonate formation alone — the Devonian-age Grosmont complex — has bitumen volumes in place comparable to the huge Athabasca oil sands deposit. This comparison is made in the 176-page official history of the Alberta Oil Sands Technology and Research Authority (AOSTRA), the long-since disbanded provincial agency set up in 1974 to promote bitumen recovery technologies.  The history devotes four well-illustrated pages to bitumen carbonates.  The resource received serious attention during the AOSTRA years with a series of pilot tests running in the Grosmont formation between 1975 and 1987.  However, oil prices fell and funding was cut.  The remotely located and little known bitumen carbonates were largely forgotten until Royal Dutch Shell plc paid nearly $500 million for leases in 2006.

Contained in a roughly triangular 70,000 square-kilometer area of northern Alberta called the Carbonate Triangle, the deposits may be the most technically challenging of the province’s bitumen resources. The basic difference between oil sands and bitumen carbonates is the former is bitumen mixed with unconsolidated sand, which can be either mined or produced from wells. The latter, as the name implies, is bitumen in carbonate rock — both dense limestone and heavily karsted rock. Grosmont bitumen is even heavier than the Athabasca bitumen and the reservoir is extremely variable, meaning that a single recovery method is unlikely to work throughout the formation. The lack of understanding of the heterogeneous nature of the reservoir is the main hurdle for developing successful bitumen recovery schemes. The bitumen is contained in a dual porosity system — both in the vugs (cavities or fractures) and in the rock matrix itself.  The vugs could potentially be good news in that they could conceivably improve permeability once the viscosity of the bitumen is raised by heat or other means, but bad news if they serve as channels for steam to escape from the area of interest.  In the karsted areas, these irregular cavities and tunnels are often the diameter of a man’s arm, and sometimes much larger.  According to the PTAC review of the pilot results, challenges of drilling through this karsted rock include the potential for loss of drilling fluids into the formation, and problems with the placement of cement to maintain a strong well-to-formation bond.

DROWNED AREA OIL SANDS LEASE

Acquisition of Interest

On September 7, 2005 the Company acquired a 100% interest in Alberta Oil Sands Lease #7400100011 (the “Drowned Property’).  The rights to the Drowned Property were acquired for a payment of CDN $25,000 (USD $20,635) as well as other closing costs of CDN$9,874 (USD $8,150).  The Drowned Property covers 512 hectares of land in the Drowned Area of the Wabiskaw oil sands in the West Athabasca area of Northern Alberta.  The lease gives the Company the right to explore the Drowned Property covered by the lease.

Strata's acquisition of the Drowned Property lease includes an overriding 4% royalty agreement with the vendor. The royalty is to be paid on a well-to-well basis and is payable on all petroleum substances produced by any well on the Property. In addition, the Company must pay the province of Alberta CDN $1,792 (USD $1,798) per year to maintain its right to the lease. The lease is subject to a royalty payable to the government of Alberta.

Alberta's project-based generic oil sands royalty regime operates on the principle of revenue minus cost. Royalty is paid at one of two rates, depending on the project’s financial status.  The deciding factor is the project’s payout date. A project has “reached payout” once its cumulative revenues have exceeded its cumulative costs.  Before the payout date, the applicable royalty is 1% of the project’s gross revenue. This low rate recognizes the high costs, long lead times and high risks associated with oil sands investment. It prevents undue strain on the developer’s financial resources during the most critical, start-up stages of the project.  After the payout date, the applicable royalty is the greater of 1% of the project’s gross revenue or 25% of the net revenue for the period.

Location

The Drowned Property lies near the southern edge of the Wabiskaw Heavy Oil/Oil sands field in west Athabasca approximately 45km south of the town of Wabiskaw or 60km Northeast of Slave Lake.

Drowned Project Lease Information

The Drowned Property is comprised of a single lease with the government of the province of Alberta, Canada.  The lease is a fifteen-year lease and expires on October 4, 2015.

Lease Number	Hectares	Rent / Hectare	Annual Minimum Lease Payments
7400100011	512	CDN $3.50 (USD $3.51) per year	CDN $1,792 (USD $1,798) per year

Regional Geology

Regionally, the Wabiskaw Reservoir consists of three overlapping en-echelon sand bodies interpreted as shoreface sand which coarsen upwards from shale to fine sand.  The three bodies are informally referred to as Wabiskaw “A” Sand, Wabiskaw “B” Sand, and Wabiskaw “C” Sand.  The three bodies are separated from each other by shales and each has proven to be correlatable and mappable over a wide area.  All three bodies contain bitumen, but only the bitumen sand of the Wabiskaw “A” is being cold produced at the present time.  The “B” and “C” are generally thinner and contain smaller bitumen accumulations.

Gas and water are also significant components of the reservoir fluids in the Wabiskaw sands.  Several associated gas fields are currently in production.  There may be a distinct basal water leg below the bitumen.  This is especially true in the southwestern part of the Wabiskaw reservoirs.

The deposit lies above the western part of the Athabasca oil sands and extends westward somewhat beyond the McMurray Formation edge.  In many regions, the Wabiskaw is oil rich and it overlies the McMurray forming two stacked reservoirs.  Detrital matter arrived mainly from the west but mixed with a small component of sediments from the shield.  The bitumen is highly viscous and is at a depth of 100 to 700 meters.  The Wabiskaw is classified as the lowest Member of the Clearwater Formation and therefore overlies the McMurray Formation.  The reservoir and the thickness of oil-saturated material vary from 0 to 10 meters.

Property Geology

Several pre-existing bore holes indicate that neither the Wabiskaw “A” sand nor the Wabiskaw “B” sand is present on the Company’s Drowned Property, although it appears that 0 to 4 meters of a thin bitumen-bearing Wabiskaw “C” sand may be present.  In addition, the McMurray Formation is present beneath the Wabiskaw and fills a local north-south oriented valley system incised into the older limestone basement.  These McMurray valley filled sediments appear to be complex, consisting mainly of water-bearing silts and clays, and hold only minor, discontinuous, bitumen-bearing sands of an unknown quality.  The Wabiskaw and McMurray sands lie at a depth of 550 to 600 meters and the Grand Rapids reservoir lies at a depth of 425 to 500 meters.

Previous Work

Historically, the Drowned Project has had four wells drilled on it by companies owning the gas exploration rights. The geophysical well logs demonstrate the presence of bitumen in all four wells, one of which shows the presence of oil sands.  The Company did not undertake any exploration work on the Drowned Property in 2012.

Planned Work by the Company for 2013

The Company has focused its exploration efforts on its Peace River Property and as a result, does not have any current plans to undertake an exploration program on the Drowned Property in 2013.

PEACE RIVER OIL SANDS LEASES

The following are two maps showing the location of the Company’s 17 oil sands leases in the Peace River region of northern Alberta, Canada.

Acquisition of Interest

The Company has entered into a series of leases in multiple transactions with the province of Alberta in the Peace River area of Alberta, Canada (the “Peace River Property”).  All of the leases were acquired through a public auction process that requires the Company to submit sealed bids for land packages being auctioned by the provincial government.  Upon being notified that it has submitted the highest bid for a specific land parcel the Company immediately pays the government the bid price and enters into a formal lease with the government.  The bid price includes the first year’s minimum annual lease payments.  The specific transactions entered into by the Company are as noted below.

Date	Number of Leases	Land Area (Hectares)	Annual Minimum Lease Payments
June 15, 2006	3	4,864	CDN $17,024 / USD $17,077
October 19, 2006	4	3,584	CDN $12,544 / USD $12,583

	17	20,992	CDN $73,472 / USD $73,700

On December 20, 2010, the Company entered into an assignment and assumption agreement with an Alberta company, a related party by common Director and Officer, assigning an undivided 100% right and interest in 25 Alberta Crown Oil Sands Lease Agreements, pursuant to respective individual lease agreements with the Province of Alberta for the sale price of CDN $300,000 (USD $303,833).  The fair market value of CDN $300,000 was established through third party evidence and recent sales comparables.  There was a loss recognized of $731,866 on the disposition of properties due to the combination of all acquisition costs and prior year’s annual lease payments being capitalized.

The Peace River Property consists of a total of 20,992 hectares of land in a region of northern Alberta known as Peace River.  The leases are subject to royalties payable to the government of Alberta.  Alberta's project-based generic oil sands royalty regime operates on the principle of revenue minus cost.  Royalty is paid at one of two rates, depending on the project’s financial status.  The deciding factor is the project’s payout date.   A project has “reached payout” once its cumulative revenues have exceeded its cumulative costs.  Before the payout date, the applicable royalty is 1% of the project’s gross revenue.  This low rate recognizes the high costs, long lead times and high risks associated with oil sands investment.  It prevents undue strain on the developer’s financial resources during the most critical, start-up stages of the project.  After the payout date, the applicable royalty is the greater of 1% of the project’s gross revenue or 25% of the net revenue for the period.

Location

The Peace River Property lies in the Peace River oil sands field in Alberta approximate 40 to 50 kilometers northeast of the town of Peace River.  These holdings are situated near Cadotte Lake.

Peace River Project Lease Information

The Peace River Property is comprised of 17 leases with the government of the Province of Alberta, Canada.  All of the leases are for a 15-year term, require minimum annual lease payments, and grant the Company the right to explore for potential oil sands opportunities on the respective lease.

Regional Geology

The Peace River Cretaceous clastic reservoir consists of a complex stratigraphy similar in nature to the Athabasca Deposit to the east.  These are thought to comprise fossil estuarine systems where the best reservoirs are contained in tidal inlet and barrier sands.  Secondary reservoir targets may be tidal delta, bayhead delta, tidal channel, and tidal flat sands.  The Peace River Carboniferous reservoir consists of platform sediments with relatively few reef building organisms.  Structurally, the Peace River strata dip to the southwest and the elevation of the bitumen-bearing interval lies between 50 and 100 meters below sea level or at a depth of between 680 to 790 meters below the surface.

Property Geology (Cadotte Leases)

Strata has focused its efforts on the bitumen resources contained in the Debolt/Elkton carbonate Carboniferous Formation and the Bluesky/Gething clastic Cretaceous Formation in the Cadotte area.  In particular, our exploration programs to date have focused on 29 sections in the Cadotte area located in Townships 86 and 87, Ranges 18 and 19W (the “Target Area”).

19

The nature of the geology of the carbonate sequence in the Target Area has a significant influence on the distribution of the bitumen resource.  The principal reference source for this section is the Alberta Research Council’s publication, “Geological Atlas of the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin”.  The sequence that hosts the bitumen deposits is the Rundle Group of Lower Carboniferous age.  The Rundle Group in this area includes three stratigraphic units which, in ascending order, are the Pekisko, Shunda and Debolt Formations.  From place-to-place the Debolt Formation may also include another distinct unit, the Elkton Member.  In the Cadotte Lease area, the Elkton Member is usually present, as long as the overlying unconformity with the Cretaceous sequence has not eroded the entire Debolt Formation sequence.  Although there are many intervals that are bitumen enriched in the Rundle sequence in the Cadotte Lease area, the principal enrichment zones occur in the Elkton Member, the upper half of the Debolt but usually not right at the top of the formation and, to a lesser extent, in the Shunda Formation.  The high grade zones of enrichment are those that occur in the Elkton Member and the Debolt Formation.

A Cretaceous clastic sequence that includes the Gething and Bluesky Formations at the base, unconformably overlies the Carboniferous rocks in this area.  All the beds dip gently to the west with those lying below the unconformity having a somewhat greater dip than those above it.  This causes the sequence below the unconformity to be eroded to a greater degree to the east and to be less complete, compared with the west.  These westerly dips are the result of post-depositional tectonic events and do not reflect the original orientation of the accumulation of sediment.  The Carboniferous sequence of the Rundle assemblage accumulated as a result of a series of prograding events that developed in a southerly to southwesterly direction.

The Carboniferous sequence mainly includes platform sediments that show generally shallower-water characteristics up-section.  In a basinward direction the depositional facies proceed from beach and lagoonal environments through shoals of the shelf margin to marine basin muds.  The lithologies that result include high energy siliciclastics of the beach environment, through various types of carbonates on the platform and its slope to shale in the deep marine environment. There even appear to be beds present that have the character of unconsolidated coarse sediments.  Several transgressive events therefore resulted in the accumulation of clastic sediments interbedded with carbonate units.

The carbonate units included relatively few reef building organisms and thus there was little tendency for irregular geological bodies such as reefs to form in this sequence in this area.  From one well to the next the regular nature of the deposition that took place at this time is apparent and it is relatively easy to show the correlation that exists between the same units in adjacent wells in the target area.  This feature of regular bed continuity is in strong contrast to the variability of the clastic units of the overlying Cretaceous sequence as seen in the Athabasca region.

It is also most noteworthy that the bitumen enrichment is strongly influenced by the bedded nature and continuity of the sediments.  It is readily possible in many cases to show the same details of the enriched sequence in adjacent wells even when they are spaced a kilometer or more apart.  This has a very strong impact on the selection of data separation distances for the classification of resources; in this sequence an equivalent assurance of existence is achieved with much wider spacing of wells than that used in the classification of bitumen resources for the Cretaceous surface mineable oil sand deposits presently being explored and developed near Fort McMurray.

Previous Work

During the winter drill season of 2006 – 2007, Strata drilled four wells on the Cadotte leases.  Three of these wells were within the Cadotte Target Area and one was in the Cadotte East leases.  All of the wells were drilled and cored.  Three wells were drilled with cores in the Cadotte Target Area, two of which were cased allowing for production testing with the ability to re-enter these wells for future testing.  The other well was abandoned due to drilling fluid losses during drilling which did not allow the well to be cased for testing in the future.  The fourth well drilled in the Cadotte East location was cored and cased.  Due to natural gas flowing from the well, to which the Company did not have the rights to, additional borehole tests were not conducted.  The cores of all of these wells were tested and examined in a laboratory in Calgary.  The results of these tests were that cold production was not viable.  However, the results indicated that the bitumen would flow at approximately 85°C.  These results will allow the Company to explore different means of extraction in addition to steam.

Former leaseholders have drilled wells on and around the Company’s Target Area.  Geophysical well logs are of variable quality but generally consist of a full suite of tools to evaluate the potential reservoirs.  With respect to available drilling data, the leases of the Target Area are drilled at an average spacing of one well per section.  However, not all of these existing wells were drilled to investigate the sequence located on the Company’s Cadotte leases. The effective average spacing with wells that have penetrated the Carboniferous sequence is approximately 0.8 wells per section.  This spacing is from twenty-three wells on or immediately adjacent to the leases.  There are an additional two hundred nineteen wells in the surrounding area, the data from which has also been referenced and inspected by the Company to assist with its evaluation of the Cadotte leases.

However, the quality of the data from the wells of different vintage is quite variable.  Several of the wells were drilled in the 1950’s.  The drilling records and logs for these wells are sometimes poor or absent or they may be less complete than those of more recently drilled wells.  A database search was done to identify higher quality data which was restricted to wells drilled since 1970 and this, plus the new Strata wells was used as the primary reference data.  A total of eighteen wells of this vintage are located on or immediately adjacent to the lease blocks.  The well log data from these wells is the primary source of information on the leases available for the present evaluation but this was supplemented by high quality data from a further thirty-nine more distant wells in the area.

Planned Work by the Company for 2013

Strata intends to continue to discuss a variety of funding arrangements with potential partners in 2013, but until funding can be secured the Company's development plans will temporarily be put on hold.  Once financing has been secured, the Company plans to undertake an engineering and production testing/drilling program in the Cadotte main target area.  The Company does not have any plans to undertake land acquisitions in 2013. The company plans on conducting a 51-101 compliant engineering resource study of the 22 sections (approximately 14,080 acres) of its Cadotte West holdings.

Cadotte Main – Contingent Bitumen Resource

In the United States, registrants, including foreign private issuers like us, are required to disclose proved reserves using the standards contained in Rule 4-10(a) of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) Regulation S-X.

The Company completed the drilling of its first four wells in the winter drilling season of 2006 – 2007.  Strata had engaged Norwest Corporation (”Norwest”) of Calgary, Alberta, Canada to assist Strata with the planning and undertaking of its exploration of the Cadotte leases.  On August 16, 2007 Norwest completed a technical report titled Evaluation of In-Place Bitumen Resources - Cadotte Leases and on February 29, 2008 Norwest Questa Engineering Corporation  (“Norwest Questa”) of Golden, Colorado completed a report titled Preliminary Feasibility Study of the Cadotte Leases,  Alberta, Canada.  On April 28, 2010 Norwest completed a follow up report titled Cadotte Project – Resource Reclassification.  All of these reports are available to the public on the www.sec.gov web site.  All discussion in this section is qualified by reference to the three reports above and readers are advised to read the three technical reports in their entirety.

Evaluation of In-Place Bitumen Resources - Cadotte Leases – August 16, 2007

The study was designed to comply with the requirements of National Instrument 51-101 and the resource classification scheme and criteria elaborated in Volume 1, of the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook.  Recoverable bitumen volumes were not addressed in this report because no estimate of the recovery factor was available at the time.  Mr. Geoff Jordan, P. Geol., former Senior Vice President of Norwest Corporation and a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 51-101 was responsible for the preparation of the technical information in the report.

The amount of exploration drilling and testing on the Cadotte Target Area was sufficient for that part of the Peace River Oil Sand deposit to be classified as a Discovered Resource (the classification system was subsequently changed such that the Discovered Resource would now be called Discovered Petroleum Initially In-Place (PIIP)).  The classification of the Discovered Resource into Low, Best ("Most Likely") and High categories was based on the following criteria:

· The Low Estimate includes all of the material that has a minimum grade of 8 wt% and a minimum thickness of 10 m;

· The Best (Most Likely) Estimate includes all of the material that has a minimum grade of 8 wt% but no minimum thickness; and

· The High Estimate includes all of the material without any grade or thickness constraint.  Hence the latter is an estimate of the original bitumen in place for the zones under investigation in the Cadotte Target Area.

The results of the different estimates for the Original Bitumen In Place (“OBIP”) are presented on the following table:

Effective OBIP for the Cadotte Area by Target Zone in millions of Stock Tank Barrels (MMSTB), Using 8% wt Cut-off
Formation	Low Estimate	Best (Most Likely) Estimate	High Estimate
Bluesky/Gething	N/A	N/A	103
Debolt	1,443	1,500	1,503
Elkton	N/A	490	644
Total	1,443	1,990	2,251

In the Bluesky/Gething Formations the results indicate that there are some areas where grades above the threshold of 8 wt% occur but these are somewhat scattered and there are no areas where especially high grade results were found.  At the same time, the ore thickness is generally relatively low.

It is important to note that the resource estimates presented in this report are made for quantities on an in-place basis.  This is not an estimate of quantities that may be recovered.  Such an estimate could not be made at the time because there was no reliable value available for the bitumen recovery factor that should be applied.  Such a factor is determined as a result of the completion of various engineering tests and analyses.

The accuracy of resource estimates is, in part, a function of the quality and quantity of available data and of engineering and geological interpretation and judgment.  Given the data available at the time this report was prepared, the estimates presented herein are considered reasonable.  However, they should be accepted with the understanding that additional data and analysis available subsequent to the date of the estimates may necessitate revision.  These revisions may be material.  There is no guarantee that all or any part of the estimated resources of bitumen will be recoverable.

Readers of this 20-F are advised to read the August 16, 2007 report titled Evaluation of In-Place Bitumen Resources - Cadotte Leases, that is publicly available on the www.sec.gov web site and was filed by the Company on September 27, 2007 under cover of 6-K.

Preliminary Feasibility Study of the Cadotte Leases, Alberta, Canada – February 29, 2008

The preliminary feasibility report was prepared in compliance with Canadian National Instrument 51-101 guidelines for disclosure concerning oil and gas resources in Canada.  NI 51-101 requires that the procedures and criteria of the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook (“COGE Handbook) be used for resource classification and these standards and criteria have been used in this report.  In this case it has been found that the estimate of potentially recoverable bitumen in the Cadotte Target Area at the time of the report could not be classified as a Contingent Resource.  The major factor was that there is no pilot project at the time that applied in-situ recovery methods to bitumen in a hardrock carbonate host that could be used as a demonstration of recoverability.  This meant that existing pilot projects in clastic hosts, which have different physical characteristics from carbonates, had to be used for performance prediction.  This additional risk prevented the “Contingent Resource” classification being made.  The additional factors that also prevented classification as a Contingent Resource include:

1. A lack of a cost estimate for the full-field development and operation of a bitumen recovery and upgrading project;

2. Lack of permeability data for the target zones; and

3. Limited geologic and reservoir data samples for the target zones

The Norwest August 16, 2007 report resource estimate is classified as “Discovered Resources”, in accordance with the criteria and former classification scheme of the COGE Handbook.  The current version of the COGE Handbook has re-titled “Discovered Resources” as “Discovered Petroleum Initially In Place” (“Discovered PIIP”).  The Pre-Feasibility estimate prepared by Norwest Questa is compliant with the requirements of National Instrument 51-101 with respect to classifying the resource as Discovered PIIP.  Dr. John D. Wright, Ph.D., P.E., who was President and Chief Engineer, of Norwest Questa Engineering Corporation at the time of the preparation of the Preliminary Feasibility, is a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 51-101.  Dr. Wright supervised the preparation of the technical information in this report.

The analogy method was utilized to develop recovery factors that were applied to the OBIP estimates to obtain a low, most likely, and high estimate for potentially recoverable bitumen.  Several projects using technology similar to that expected to be implemented on the Cadotte leases were used as analogies for a bitumen recovery method and a resultant range of recovery factors.  Shell’s Carmon Project (“Carmon Creek”) was one of the primary analogies utilized by Norwest for the recovery factor estimates.  Norwest reviewed the Carmon Creek Project and concluded that some bitumen bearing stratigraphy on Strata’s land correlates with the same stratigraphy at Carmon Creek.  Over the last 25 years, Shell has tested numerous recovery methods at Peace River and has recently concluded that Horizontal Cyclic Steam (“HCS”) is the optimal recovery method for Carmon Creek.  The Preliminary Feasibility Study for Cadotte is based on the application of that method of extraction, as well as the Shell Carmon Project well layout and designs which were obtained from various public disclosure reports.

A production schedule was developed for the Cadotte leases over the key Target Area of twenty nine sections.  Each section, which has an area of one square mile, is about the same size as the Carmon Project pad and development block design.  Each pad and development block includes 20 wells of 1,400 m length, each of which is about 600 m in the vertical direction and 800 m horizontally.  In the design the pads are “brought on stream” over a four year build-up period.  The development block sequence is implemented such that the highest grade and thickest ore blocks are addressed first as long as the local infrastructure is able to service those areas.  During the main period of development, the daily production rate for the leases is about 56,000 barrels.  The production life for this schedule exceeds 20 years.  Cost estimates for this preliminary feasibility study were obtained from a review of public literature.

Based on the analogy method with an adjustment for difference between gross and effective OBIP calculations, Norwest Questa estimated the following recovery factors for application to the effective OBIP deterministic cases:

· 17 percent for the Low estimate

· 26 percent for the Most Likely estimate, and

· 38 percent for the High estimate.

Norwest Questa then applied the estimated recovery factors shown above to the effective OBIP estimates from the August 16, 2007 report, which is the in-place Best estimate at an 8 wt% grade cut-off, to obtain the Low, Most Likely, and High Resource estimates for the Cadotte Area.

22

On April 28, 2010 Norwest issued a report upgrading the resource classification to “Contingent Resource” from “Discovered Resource”, in accordance with the criteria and former classification scheme of the COGE Handbook.  The Resource Reclassification report prepared by Norwest is compliant with the requirements of National Instrument 51-101 with respect to classifying the resource as “Contingent”.  Geoff Jordan, P. Geol., Senior Geologist at Norwest Corporation prepared the Resource Reclassification report, is a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 51-101.

With the Cadotte Recoverable bitumen quantity classified as a Contingent Resource, it is a requirement for reporting to identify and list the contingencies.  These are as follows:

· The company will have to develop a suitable Debolt Formation carbonate Pilot to demonstrate the technical and commercial viability of operating any specific planned in situ recovery method for this project.  The cost estimate for development of the project includes a provision for completing this work;

· The company will have to obtain all of the legal permits necessary for the initiation of the project and for construction and operation of it;

· The company will have to secure a suitable market for the bitumen;

· The company will have to ensure that all of the environmental requirements, including those that relate to water usage and disposal are satisfied.

The 2010 Norwest Corporation report modified the classification of the resources, and not the quantities, to reflect the following recoverable portion of the effective OBIP estimates:

Contingent Resource  for the Cadotte Area by Target Zone in millions of Stock Tank Barrels (MMSTB)
Formation	Low Estimate	Most Likely Estimate	High Estimate
Bluesky/Gething	N/A	N/A	39
Debolt	245	390	571
Elkton	N/A	127	245
Total	245	517	855

In 2008 Norwest Questa conducted an initial economic evaluation of the Cadotte area, at a level of study consistent with that of a Preliminary Feasibility Study, based on the Most Likely potentially recoverable Discovered PIIP estimate of 517 MMSTB.  Based on a forecast price of $65 per barrel and constant costs, this Preliminary Feasibility economic analysis indicated that the development of the Cadotte area was economically viable with a net present value (discounted at 10%) of cash flows before income taxes of about $1.2 billion.

In 2010 Norwest Corporation completed a revised sensitivity analysis based on three different oil prices.  The assumptions utilized in the 2010 economic evaluation were based on a review of published public data for similar projects.  The analogy method was originally utilized to develop recovery factors that were applied to the original bitumen-in-place estimates to obtain a low, most likely, and high estimate for potentially recoverable bitumen.  Several projects using technology similar to that expected to be implemented on Strata's Cadotte Project were used as analogies for a bitumen recovery method and a resultant range of recovery factors.  See the table below for the 2010 revised sensitivity analysis:

Revised 2010

Summary of Economic Evaluations

at Different Oil Price Assumptions ($US Billions)

Oil Price	Gross Oil Revenue	Net Investment	Total Operating Expenses	Crown Royalties	Cumulative Cash Flow	Cumulative Disc. (10%) Cash Flow	IRR
Constant $85 WTI	27.1	1.9	12.1	4.1	9.1	1.3	28%
Constant $75 WTI	22.2	1.9	12.1	2.4	5.8	0.6	20%
Constant $95 WTI	32.1	1.9	12.1	5.9	12.1	1.9	36%

Based on forecast prices and costs, this revised economic analysis indicates that the development of the Cadotte area is economically viable with a return on capital investment of 28% and Net Present Value (“NPV”) discounted at 10% of $1.3 billion.  At a WTI crude oil pride of $85 per barrel, the impact of the planned royalty change is only about a 1% reduction of return on capital investment.  At a constant $75 per barrel WTI price, the return on capital investment is just over 20%.  Based on the favorable results of the pre-feasibility and revised economic analysis, the Cadotte area warrants further evaluation including a pilot well test program and feasibility level project design and cost estimates.

This report is limited in scope to document only the potentially recoverable portion of the Contingent Resource, formerly referred to as Discovered Petroleum Initially In Place (Discovered PIIP), within the Target Area of the Cadotte properties.  This report does not attempt to place a Fair Market Value on that resource portion.

Norwest Corporation reserves the right to revise its opinions of all estimates of resources if new information is deemed sufficiently credible to do so.

The accuracy of any estimate is a function of available time, data, geological engineering, commercial interpretation, and judgment.  While the resource estimates presented herein are believed to be reasonable, they should be viewed with an understanding that additional analysis of new data may justify their revision and Norwest Corporation reserves the right to make such revisions.

Readers of this 20-F Annual Report are advised to read the February 29, 2008 report titled Preliminary Feasibility Study of the Cadotte Leases,  Alberta, Canada, and the April 28, 2010 report titled Cadotte Project - Resource Reclassification that were filed under cover of Form 6-K on March 6, 2008 and December 23, 2010, respectively, and are publicly available on the www.sec.gov web site.

Cadotte West – Bitumen Resource

Strata's Cadotte West project is located on 22 sections northwest of Shell's Carmon Creek Project and is contiguous to the company's Cadotte Main property holdings in Peace River. Data from prior years drill logs in the area indicate the Bluesky/Gething, Debolt, and Elkton ore zones are present on the lease. This same data reports bitumen in these ore zones.

Historical information obtained from logs in the area indicates the Net Thickness of the Bluesky/Gething ore zone in this region appears to range from about 10 m to 25 m. There are actually two ore zones in the Bluesky/Gething in this area and these appear to individually thicken and come together to the south. Additionally, the logs include confirmation of hydrocarbons in the cuttings samples and are noted to have fluorescence response for hydrocarbons. This does not show the grade but it shows that bitumen is present in the ore zone. The resistivity responses for hydrocarbons in the elastic interval are strong and this indicates that there is a good chance that the zone contains bitumen at ore grade concentrations.

The same logs indicate that the ore zone of the Debolt can be expected to be present throughout the Cadotte West Area. This zone appears to be 25 m to 30 m thick. The logs consistently record that the interval of the Debolt ore zone has "vuggy porosity". This is the same as the Debolt reported under Cadotte Main Target area. The records consistently record strong hydrocarbon fluorescence in this interval, and note "oil saturation" or "strong oil saturation" in the cuttings from well to well over this interval. This suggests that the bitumen ore potential of the zone in this area is much the same as that found in the Cadotte Main Target Area.

Year ended December 31, 2012 compared to the year ended December 31, 2011

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company had a net loss from operations of $1,856,790 compared to net income from operations of $1,629,255 for the year ended December 31, 2011, a decrease of $3,486,045.  Not including the non-cash changes in fair value derivative liability loss of $1,620,319 (2011 – gain of $1,806,379), expenses for the period increased $64,743 from $177,252 in 2011 to $241,995 for the year ended December 31, 2012. The increase in operating expenses is primarily due to increases in professional fees of $29,554 and consulting fees of $62,942, which includes stock compensation expense, associated with increased evaluation activities on the Company’s oil and gas properties. The increase in operating expenses was offset by a decrease in rent expense of $29,872.

For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company recorded a loss for a change in fair value of derivative liability of $1,620,319 (2011 – gain $1,806,379). This item is a non-cash item and was recorded in accordance with ASC 850-40-15. This guidance requires entities to evaluate whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to its own stock by assessing the instrument’s contingent exercise provisions and settlement provisions. Instruments not indexed to their own stock fail to meet the scope exception of Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, ASC 815-10-15-74(a), and should be classified as a liability and marked-to-market.

REVENUES

The Company did not earn any revenue for the year ended December 31, 2012, 2011 or 2010.  We do not anticipate earning revenues until such time as we have entered into commercial production of our oil and gas properties.  We are presently in the exploration stage of our business and we can provide no assurance that we will discover commercially exploitable levels of oil or gas resources on our properties, or if such resources are discovered, that we will enter into commercial production of our oil and gas properties.

CONTINUING OPERATIONS

The Company recognized a loss from continuing operations of $1,856,790 for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to income from continuing operations in 2011 of $1,629,255, a decrease of $3,486,045.  Excluding the non-cash change in derivative liability, expenses for 2012 increased primarily due increased professional fees, consulting fees and stock compensation expense associated with increased evaluation activities on the Company’s oil and gas properties. The Company experienced significant decrease in rent expense for the year, which was offset by decreases in professional fees and office expenses. Stock-based compensation included with consulting fees increased to $40,286 in 2012 compared to $3,000 in 2011.

25

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

There was no discontinued operations activity in 2012 or 2011.

INTEREST AND OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE)

Included in other income (expense) is a loss of $1,620,319 relating to the change in fair value of derivative liability resulting from an increased fair value of the derivative liability as at December 31, 2012 compared to December 31, 2011. The increase in derivative liability was primarily as a result of warrants issued with private placements during the year along with an increased option unit value due to an increase in share price in 2012. See Note 4 of the Financial Statements.  The Company recorded a derivative liability in the amount of $484,777 at December 31, 2011.  The Company determined the fair value of the derivative liability to be $2,342,989 as of December 31, 2012 based on an acceptable valuation model.  As a result of the changes in fair value, the Company recorded a loss on the change in the fair value of derivative liability of $1,620,319 to the statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Year ended December 31, 2011 compared to the year ended December 31, 2010

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company had net income of $1,629,255 compared to net income of $3,502,038 for the year ended December 31, 2010, a decrease of $1,872,784. Not including the non-cash changes in fair value derivative liability gain of $1,806,379 (2010 – gain of $4,474,283), expenses for the period decreased $795,104 from $972,357 in 2010 to $177,253 for the year ended December 31, 2011. The decrease is primarily due to the $731,866 loss on disposition of properties recorded in 2010 along with a decrease in consulting fees of $66,264.

For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company recorded a gain for a change in fair value of derivative liability of $1,806,379 (2010 – gain $4,474,283). This item is a non-cash item and was recorded in accordance with ASC 850-40-15. This guidance requires entities to evaluate whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to its own stock by assessing the instrument’s contingent exercise provisions and settlement provisions. Instruments not indexed to their own stock fail to meet the scope exception of Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, ASC 815-10-15-74(a), and should be classified as a liability and marked-to-market.

REVENUES

The Company did not earn any revenue for the year ended December 31, 2011, 2010 or 2009. We do not anticipate earning revenues until such time as we have entered into commercial production of our oil and gas properties. We are presently in the exploration stage of our business and we can provide no assurance that we will discover commercially exploitable levels of oil or gas resources on our properties, or if such resources are discovered, that we will enter into commercial production of our oil and gas properties.

CONTINUING OPERATIONS

The Company recognized income from continuing operations of $1,629,255 for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to income from continuing operations in 2010 of $3,502,038, a decrease of $1,872,784. Excluding the non-cash change in derivative liability expenses for 2011 decreased significantly primarily due to the loss on property disposition recognized in 2010 along with the decrease in consulting fees. The Company experienced increase in rent expense for the year, which was offset by decreases in professional fees and office expenses. Stock-based compensation included with consulting fees decreased to $3,000 in 2011 compared to $4,775 in 2010.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

There was no discontinued operations activity in 2011 or 2010.

INTEREST AND OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE)

Included in other income (expense) is a gain of $1,806,379 relating to the change in fair value of derivative liability resulting from a lower fair value of the derivative liability as at December 31, 2011 compared to December 31, 2010. The decrease in derivative liability was the result of a lower option unit value due to deceased share price in 2011. See Note 4 of the Financial Statements. The Company recorded a derivative liability in the amount of $2,004,159 at December 31, 2010. The Company determined the fair value of the derivative liability to be $484,777 as of December 31, 2011 based on an acceptable valuation model. As a result of the changes in fair value, the Company recorded a gain on the change in the fair value of derivative liability of $1,806,379 to the statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2011.

B. Liquidity and Capital Resources

(in U.S. dollars)	As at December 31,
	2012			2011			2010
Cash and cash equivalents	$	134,125		$	217,504		$	151,283
Working capital (deficit)		(2,238,071	)		(300,616	)		(1,894,719	)

Financing activities		226,400			325,716			200,000

As of December 31, 2012, we had $134,125 in cash, a decrease of $83,379 from December 31, 2011.  The decreased cash balance is due to an increase operating expenses and expenditures on oil and gas properties offset by the receipt of $226,400 in proceeds from private placements closed during 2012.  Management estimates that the Company will require approximately $350,000 to fund the Company’s planned operations for the next twelve months.  Therefore, current cash on hand is not sufficient to fund planned operations for 2012.  Our policy is to pay all operational expenses when due, provided that the vendor, in the normal course of business, has satisfied all necessary conditions for payment.

Net cash used in operating activities during the twelve months ended December 31, 2012 was $190,894 compared to $171,286 in 2011.  The increase in cash used in operating activities was due to an increase in professional and consulting fees associated with increased evaluation activity at the Company’s oil and gas properties

Cash used in investing activities for 2012 was $121,003 compared to cash used in investing of $69,756 in 2011. The Company spent $69,651 related to payments due to the Province of Alberta to maintain the Company’s property leases, compared to $66,212 in 2011. The Company spent an additional $43,890 on evaluation activities related to oil and gas property leases in 2012.

The Company generated cash inflows from financing activities of $226,400 compared to $325,716 in 2011. The Company raised $226,400 in funds from a series of private placements executed during 2012. In 2011 the Company raised $325,716 in proceeds from five private placements completed during the year. See Note 8 to the financial statements.

We expect our oil and gas operations to similarly be financed by equity.

We had cash of $134,125 as of December 31, 2012.  We anticipate that we will incur through the end of our next fiscal year:

· $190,000 in connection with property lease payments and follow up analysis on the Company’s oil sands properties;

· $160,000 for operating expenses, including working capital, consulting fees, general and administrative, professional, legal and accounting expenses.

We have no long-term debt.  In 2012 our most significant expense is expected to be for the exploration of our oil and gas properties.  During 2012 we received $226,400 in proceeds from private placements closed during the year. We believe that our available cash will not be sufficient to fund our working capital requirements for the next twelve months.  If we are to continue to explore and develop our oil sands properties, we will require additional funding.  We cannot be certain that any required additional financing will be available on terms favorable to us.  If additional funds are raised by the issuance of our equity securities, such as through the issuance and exercise of warrants, then existing stockholders will experience dilution of their ownership interest.  We believe that debt financing will not be an alternative for funding.  The risky nature of this enterprise and lack of tangible assets places debt financing beyond the credit-worthiness required by most banks or typical investors of corporate debt until such time as the economic viability of our oil sands properties can be demonstrated.  If adequate funds are not available or not available on acceptable terms, we may be unable to fund expansion, develop or enhance services or respond to competitive pressures.

Critical Accounting Estimates:

The preparation of the Company's financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions regarding future events.  These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent liabilities.

The Company follows the full cost method of accounting for natural gas and oil operations.  Under the full cost method all costs incurred in the acquisition, exploration and development of natural gas and oil reserves are initially capitalized into cost centers on a country-by-country basis.  The Company’s current cost centers are located in Canada.  Such costs include land acquisition costs, geological and geophysical expenditures, carrying charges on non-producing properties, costs of drilling and overhead charges directly related to acquisition, exploration and development activities.

27

Costs capitalized, together with the costs of production equipment, are depleted and amortized on the unit-of-production method based on the estimated net proved reserves, as determined by independent petroleum engineers.  The percentage of total reserve volumes produced during the year is multiplied by the net capitalized investment plus future estimated development costs in those reserves.  Costs of acquiring and evaluating unproved properties are initially excluded from depletion calculations.  These unevaluated properties are assessed periodically to ascertain whether an impairment has occurred.  When proved reserves are assigned or the property is considered to be impaired, the cost of the property or the amount of the impairment is added to costs subject to depletion calculations.

Under full cost accounting rules, capitalized costs, less accumulated amortization and related deferred income taxes, shall not exceed an amount (the ceiling) equal to the sum of: (i) the after tax present value of estimated future net revenues computed by applying current prices of oil and gas reserves to estimated future production of proved oil and gas reserves as of the date of the latest balance sheet presented, less estimated future expenditures (based on currents costs) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved reserves computed using a discount factor of ten percent and assuming continuation of existing economic conditions; (ii) the cost of properties not being amortized; and (iii) the lower of cost or estimated fair value of unproven properties included in the costs being amortized.  If unamortized costs capitalized within a cost center, less related deferred income taxes, exceed the ceiling, the excess shall be charged to expense and separately disclosed during the period in which the excess occurs.  Amounts thus required to be written off shall not be reinstated for any subsequent increase in the cost center ceiling.

Estimates of undiscounted future cash flows that we use for conducting impairment tests are subject to significant judgment decisions based on assumptions of highly uncertain future factors, such as crude oil and natural gas prices, production quantities, estimates of recoverable reserves, and production and transportation costs.  Given the significant assumptions required and the strong possibility that actual future factors will differ, we consider the impairment test to be a critical accounting procedure.

The Company has not recognized any revenue from its oil and gas exploration activities, During the year ended December 31, 2010 a property impairment was recorded in relation to disposal of non-core oil and gas leases of $731,866. No property impairment adjustments were recorded in 2012 or 2011.

In accordance with ASC 410, Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations, the fair value of an asset retirement cost, and corresponding liability, should be recorded as part of the cost of the related long-lived asset and subsequently allocated to expense using a systematic and rational method.  The Company has recorded an asset retirement obligation at December 31, 2012 and 2011 (Note 6) to reflect its legal obligations related to future abandonment of its oil and gas interests using estimated expected cash flow associated with the obligation and discounting the amount using a credit-adjusted, risk-free interest rate.  At least annually, the Company will reassess the obligation to determine whether a change in any estimated obligation is necessary.  The Company will evaluate whether there are indicators that suggest the estimated cash flows underlying the obligation have materially changed.  Should those indicators suggest the estimated obligation has materially changed the Company will accordingly update its assessment.  The asset retirement obligation is measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis using level 3 inputs based on discounted cash flows involving estimates, assumptions, and judgments regarding the cost, timing of settlement, credit-adjusted risk-free rate and inflation rates.

Management has made significant assumptions and estimates determining the fair market value of stock-based compensation granted to employees and non-employees.  These estimates have an effect on the stock-based compensation expense recognized and the contributed surplus and share capital balances on the Company’s Balance Sheet.  The value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.  To date, all of our stock option grants have been to non-employees.  Increases in our share price will likely result in increased stock option compensation expense.  The Black-Scholes option-pricing model requires the input of subjective assumptions, including the expected term of the option award and stock price volatility.  The expected term of options granted for the purposes of the Black-Scholes calculation is the term of the award since all grants are to non-employees.  These estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment.  An expected forfeiture rate of nil was used in the recognition of compensation expense for those options not yet vested at December 31, 2012.

These accounting policies are applied consistently for all years presented.  Our operating results would be affected if other alternatives were used.  Information about the impact on our operating results is included in the notes to our financial statements.

Valuation of Derivative Instruments

US GAAP requires that embedded derivative instruments be bifurcated and assessed, along with free-standing derivative instruments such as warrants and stock-options to determine whether they should be considered a derivative liability and subject to re-measurement at their fair value.  Warrants with such provisions will no longer be recorded to equity. In estimating the appropriate fair value, the Company uses a Black-Scholes option pricing model.

Inflation

We operate in Canada only, where inflation for our operational costs is at low levels (i.e. in the 2%-5% range).

28

Impact of Foreign Currency Fluctuations

We hold our cash reserves in Canadian dollars.  We incur the majority of our expenses and capital expenditures in Canadian dollars.  We do have US transactions, therefore, an increase or decrease in the value of the Canadian dollar versus the U.S. dollar would have an effect on us.

Government Policies

We are subject to regulations of the Government of Canada and the Government of Alberta.  Such regulations may relate directly and indirectly to our operations including production, marketing and sale of hydrocarbons, royalties, taxation, environmental matters and other factors.  There is no assurance that the laws relating to our operations will not change in a manner that may materially and adversely affect us; however, there has been no material impact on us from changes to such laws in the past three fiscal periods.

C. Research and development, patents, and licenses, etc.

Accordingly, the Company’s actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by these forward-looking statements. Any differences could result from a variety of factors, including, but not limited to general economic and business conditions, competition, and other factors, including those described in Item 3.D., “Risk Factors.”

Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

ASC No. 2010-03

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2010-03, Extractive Activities Oil and Gas (Topic 932) — Oil and Gas Reserve Estimation and Disclosures, and in April 2010 issued ASU 2010-14, Accounting for extractive activities — Oil and Gas —Amendments to paragraph 932-10-599-1, to align the oil and gas reserve estimation and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 932, Extractive Activities — Oil and Gas, with the requirements in the SEC’s new oil and gas reporting requirements. The ASU is effective for the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.

ASU No. 2010-04

In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04 (ASU No. 2011-04) “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure.

Requirements in U.S. GAAP

ASU No. 2011-04 amends Topic 820 in two ways. Specifically, some of the amendments clarify how to apply the existing fair value measurement and disclosure requirements, while some of the amendments change a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or disclosing information about fair value measurements. ASU No. 2011-04 does not extend the use of fair value accounting, but rather provide guidance on how it should be applied where its use is already required or permitted by other standards within U.S. GAAP. ASU No. 2011-04 supersedes much of the guidance in ASC Topic 820, but also clarifies existing guidance and changes certain wording in order to align ASC Topic 820 with IFRS 13. The Company’s adoption of this policy will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

The Company’s Articles and Bylaws provide that the Board of Directors may, from time to time, with or without the authority or the authorization of the shareholders, in such amounts and on such terms as it deems expedient, cause the Company to:

(a) borrow money upon the credit of the Company, including by way of overdraft;

(b) issue, re-issue, sell or pledge bonds, debentures, notes or other evidences of indebtedness of the Company, whether secured or unsecured;

(c) give a guarantee to secure performance of any obligation to any person; or

35

(d) charge, mortgage, hypothecate, pledge or otherwise create a security interest in the undertaking of the Company or in all or any of the currently owned or subsequently acquired property and assets of the Company, including without limiting the generality of the foregoing, real and personal property, movable and immovable property, tangible and intangible assets, book debts, rights, powers and franchise, to secure any present or future obligation of the Company.

The Board may from time to time delegate to a committee, to a Director, or to an Officer of the Company all or any of the powers conferred on the Board by law or the Bylaws to such extent and in such manner as the Board from time to time determines.

There are no age limit requirements pertaining to the retirement or non-retirement of directors and a director need not be a shareholder of the Company.

The Company does not have any compensation agreements with the Board of Directors, however the Company may reimburse each director for the reasonable expenses that he or she may incur in or about the business of the Company. If any director performs any professional or other services for the Company that in the opinion of the directors is outside the ordinary duties of a director, or if any director is otherwise specially occupied in or about the Company’s business, he or she may be paid either in addition to or substitution for any other remuneration they may be entitled to receive.

The Company's Bylaws require the Company to indemnify all directors and officers of the Company, a former director or officer of the Company or any other individual who acts or acted at the Company's request as a director or officer, or an individual acting in a similar

capacity.

Description of Securities

The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of common stock (the “Common Shares”) as well as an unlimited number of shares of preferred stock (the “Preferred Shares”).

Subject to the rights of holders of Preferred Shares in the future, if any, holders of the Common Shares are entitled to share equally on a per share basis in such dividends as may be declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefore. There are presently no plans to pay dividends with respect to the Common Shares.  Upon the Company’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up, after payment of creditors and the holders of any of the Preferred Shares, if any, the Company’s assets will be divided pro rata on a per share basis among the holders of the Common Shares. The Common Shares are not subject to any liability for further assessments. There are no conversions or redemption privileges nor any sinking fund provisions with respect to the Common Shares and the Common Shares are not subject to call. The holders of Common Shares do not have any pre-emptive or other subscription rights.  Holders of the Common Shares are entitled to cast one vote for each share held at all shareholders’ meetings for all purposes, including the election of directors.  The Common Shares do not have cumulative voting rights.

None of the Preferred Shares are currently outstanding.  

Action Necessary to Change Rights of Shareholders

Under the Company's Articles, the Board of Directors has the authority, without further action by the holders of the outstanding Common Shares, to issue preferred shares from time to time in one or more series, to fix the number of shares constituting any series, and to fix the terms of any such series, including dividend rights, dividend rates, conversion or exchange rights, voting rights, rights and terms of redemption (including sinking fund provisions), the redemption price and the liquidation preference or such series.

There are no limitations upon the rights to own securities.

There are no provisions that would have the effect of delaying, deferring, or preventing a change in control of the Company.

There is no special ownership threshold above which an ownership position must be disclosed.

A copy of the Company’s Articles has been filed as an exhibit to the Company’s 20-F Registration Statement.

Manner of Convening Annual and Special Meetings of Shareholders

Annual and special meetings of the shareholders may be called by the Board of Directors.  Notice of a shareholder meeting shall be given not less than 21 days and not more than 60 days prior to the date of such meeting to each Director, the auditor of the Company, and each shareholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.  A quorum for any shareholder meeting shall be persons present not being less than two in number and holding or representing by proxy not less than 5% of the total number of issued shares entitled to vote at the meeting.

36

Limitations on Rights to Own, Hold or Vote Securities

There are currently no limitations of general application imposed by Canadian federal or provincial laws on the rights of non-residents of Canada to hold or vote Strata’s common shares.  There are also no such limitations imposed by the articles of incorporation with respect to Strata’s common shares. There are, however, certain requirements on the acquisition of control of Strata’s securities by non-residents of Canada.  The Investment Canada Act requires notification to and, in certain cases, advance review and approval by, the Government of Canada, of the acquisition by a “non-Canadian” of “control” of a “Canadian business”, all as defined in the Investment Canada Act.  Generally speaking, in order for an acquisition to be subject to advance review and approval, the asset value of the Canadian business being acquired must meet or exceed certain monetary thresholds.

C. Material Contracts

We have not entered into any material contracts, other than contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business, for the two years immediately preceding publication of this document.  Significant property contracts are as described in Item 4.D.

D. Exchange Controls

There are no government laws, decrees or regulations in Canada that restrict the export or import of capital or, subject to the following sentence, which affect the remittance of dividends or other payments to nonresident holders of Strata’s common shares.  However, any such remittance to a resident of the United States is generally subject to non-resident tax pursuant to the 1980 Canada-United States Income Tax Convention.  See “Item 10.E Taxation” for additional discussion on tax matters.

E. Taxation

NOTHING HEREIN SHOULD BE RELIED UPON OR INTERPRETED AS LEGAL OR TAX ADVICE AND EACH SHAREHOLDER SHOULD CONSULT WITH HIS OR HER OWN ATTORNEY, ACCOUNTANT AND OTHER PROFESSIONAL ADVISORS ABOUT THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF AN INVESTMENT IN THE COMPANY’S SECURITIES.  THE DISCUSSION IS PRESENTED FOR INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY AND IS INTENDED TO BE A DISCUSSION PRIMARILY OF THE CANADIAN AND UNITED STATES INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES.  EACH SHAREHOLDER IS URGED TO CONSULT WITH HIS OR HER PROFESSIONAL TAX ADVISER WITH RESPECT TO ALL FEDERAL, PROVINCIAL, STATE AND LOCAL INCOME TAXES, GIFT, ESTATE AND OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES IN THE UNITED STATES AND CANADA.  THE TAX AND OTHER MATTERS DESCRIBED HEREIN DO NOT CONSTITUTE, AND SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED AS LEGAL OR TAX ADVICE TO SHAREHOLDERS.

CANADIAN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

This summary is based upon the current provisions of the Income Tax Act (Canada), the regulations thereunder, the current publicly announced administrative and assessing policies of the Canada Revenue Agency, and all specific proposals (the “Tax Proposals”) to amend the Income Tax Act and regulations announced by the Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date hereof. This discussion is not exhaustive of all possible Canadian federal income tax consequences and, except for the Tax Proposals, does not take into account or anticipate any changes in law, whether by legislative, governmental or judicial action, nor does it take into account provincial or foreign tax considerations which may differ significantly from those discussed herein.

The summary applies to beneficial owners of common shares who, for the purposes of the Income Tax Act, are residents of the United States and are not resident in Canada, and who hold common shares of Strata as capital property.

Dividends

The Income Tax Act provides that dividends and other distributions deemed to be dividends paid or deemed to be paid by a Canadian resident corporation (such as Strata) to a non-resident of Canada shall be subject to a non-resident withholding tax equal to 25% of the gross amount of the dividend or deemed dividend.

Provisions in the Income Tax Act relating to dividend and deemed dividend payments to and capital gains realized by non-residents of Canada who are residents of the United States are subject to the 1980 Canada-United States Income Tax Convention.

Article X of the 1980 Canada-United States Income Tax Convention provides that the rate of Canadian non-resident withholding tax on dividends or deemed dividends paid to a United States corporation that beneficially owns at least 10% of the voting shares of the corporation paying the dividend shall not exceed 5% of the dividend or deemed dividend, and in any other case, the rate of non-resident withholding tax shall not exceed 15% of the dividend or deemed dividend.

37

Disposition of Shares

The Income Tax Act provides that a non-resident person is subject to tax in Canada on the disposition of “taxable Canadian property.”  Common shares of Strata are considered to be “taxable Canadian property” as defined in the Income Tax Act.  Therefore, under the Income Tax Act, a non-resident would be subject to tax in Canada on the disposition of common shares of Strata.  Article XIII of the 1980 Canada-United States Income Tax Convention provides that gains realized by a United States resident on the disposition of shares of a Canadian corporation may not generally be taxed in Canada unless the value of the Canadian corporation is derived principally from real property situated in Canada.

Generally, certain filing and reporting obligations exist where a non-resident of Canada disposes of taxable Canadian property.  In particular, the non-resident must make an application to the Canada Revenue Agency in advance of the disposition for the purpose of obtaining a certificate issued by the Canada Revenue Agency pursuant to section 116 of the Income Tax Act.  If the non-resident fails to secure such certificate from the Canada Revenue Agency in advance of the disposition, the purchaser is required to withhold and remit to the Canada Revenue Agency 25% of the amount otherwise payable to the non-resident.

UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

The following discussion is based on the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), existing and proposed Treasury Regulations, published Internal Revenue Service rulings, published administrative positions of the Internal Revenue Service and court decisions that are currently applicable, any or all of which could be materially and adversely changed, possibly on a retroactive basis, at any time.  In addition, this discussion does not consider the potential effects, both adverse and beneficial, of any recently proposed legislation that, if enacted, could be applied, possibly on a retroactive basis, at any time.  In addition, this discussion does not cover any state, local or foreign tax consequences.  The following is a discussion of United States federal income tax consequences, under current law, generally applicable to a U.S. Holder (as defined below) of common shares of Strata who holds such shares as capital assets.  This discussion does not address all potentially relevant federal income tax matters and it does not address consequences peculiar to persons subject to special provisions of federal income tax law, such as those described below that are excluded from the definition of a U.S. Holder.

U.S. Holder

As used herein, a “U.S. Holder” includes a holder of common shares of Strata who is a citizen or resident of the United States, a corporation created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or of any political subdivision thereof, any United States entity which is taxable as a corporation for United States tax purposes and any other person or entity whose ownership of common shares of Strata is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States.  A U.S. Holder does not include persons subject to special provisions of federal income tax law, such as tax-exempt organizations, qualified retirement plans, financial institutions, insurance companies, real estate investment trusts, regulated investment companies, broker-dealers, nonresident alien individuals or foreign corporations whose ownership of common shares is not effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States and shareholders who acquired their shares through the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation.

Dividends

Except as otherwise discussed below under “Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations,” U.S. Holders receiving dividend distributions (including constructive dividends) with respect to common shares of Strata are required to include in gross income for United States federal income tax purposes the gross amount of such distributions to the extent that Strata has current or accumulated earnings and profits, without reduction for any Canadian income tax withheld from such distributions.  Such Canadian tax withheld may be credited, subject to certain limitations, against the U.S. Holder’s United States federal tax liability or, alternatively, may be deducted in computing the U.S. Holder’s federal taxable income (but in the case of individuals, only if they itemize deductions). See “Foreign Tax Credit.”  To the extent that distributions exceed current or accumulated earnings and profits of Strata, they will be treated first as a return of capital up to the U.S. Holder’s adjusted basis in the common shares (which adjusted basis must therefore be reduced) and thereafter as a gain from the sale or exchange of the common shares. Preferential tax rates for long-term capital gains are applicable to a U.S. Holder that is an individual, estate or trust.  Moreover, “qualified dividends” received by U.S. Holders who are individuals, during tax years beginning before January 1, 2009, from any “qualified foreign corporation” are subject to a preferential tax rate, provided such individual U.S. Holder meets a certain holding period requirement.  A “qualified foreign corporation” is generally any corporation formed in a foreign jurisdiction which has a comprehensive income tax treaty with the United States or, if not, the dividend is paid with respect to stock that is readily tradable on an established United States market.  However, a “qualified foreign corporation” excludes a foreign corporation that is a foreign personal holding company, a foreign investment company, or a passive foreign investment company for the year the dividend is paid or the previous year.  Strata believes that it qualifies as a “qualified foreign corporation”.  There are currently no preferential tax rates for a U.S. Holder that is a corporation.

In general, dividends paid on common shares of Strata will not be eligible for the same dividends received deduction provided to corporations receiving dividends from certain United States corporations.  A U.S. Holder which is a corporation may, under certain circumstances, be entitled to a 70% deduction of the United States source portion of dividends received from Strata (unless Strata is a “foreign personal holding company” as defined in Section 552 of the Code, or a “passive foreign investment company” as defined below) if such U.S. Holder owns shares representing at least 10% of the voting power and value of Strata.  The availability of this deduction is subject to several complex limitations that are beyond the scope of this discussion.

38

Foreign Tax Credit

A U.S. Holder who pays (or has withheld from distributions) Canadian or other foreign income tax with respect to the ownership of common shares of Strata may be entitled, at the election of the U.S. Holder, to either a tax credit or a deduction for such foreign tax paid or withheld.  This election is made on a year-by-year basis and generally applies to all foreign income taxes paid by (or withheld from) the U.S. Holder during that year.  There are significant and complex limitations that apply to the credit, among which is the general limitation that the credit cannot exceed the proportionate share of the U.S. Holder’s United States income tax liability that the U.S. Holder’s foreign source income bears to his or its worldwide taxable income.  In the determination of the application of this limitation, the various items of income and deduction must be classified into foreign and domestic sources.  Complex rules govern income such as “passive income”, “high withholding tax interest”, “financial services income”, “shipping income” and certain other classifications of income.  In addition, U.S. Holders that are corporations and that own 10% or more of the voting stock of Strata may be entitled to an “indirect” foreign tax credit under Section 902 of the Code with respect to the payment of dividends by Strata under certain circumstances and subject to complex rules and limitations.  The availability of the foreign tax credit and the application of the limitations on the foreign tax credit are fact specific and holders and prospective holders of common shares should consult their own tax advisors regarding their individual circumstances.

Disposition of Shares

Except as otherwise discussed below under “Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations,” a gain or loss realized on a sale of common shares will generally be a capital gain or loss, and will be long-term if the shareholder has a holding period of more than one year.  The amount of gain or loss recognized by a selling U.S. Holder will be measured by the difference between (i) the amount realized on the sale and (ii) his or its tax basis in the common shares.  Gains and losses are netted and combined according to special rules in arriving at the overall capital gain or loss for a particular tax year.  Deductions for net capital losses are subject to significant limitations.  Individual U.S. Holders may carryover unused capital losses to offset capital gains realized in subsequent years.  For U.S. Holders that are corporations (other than corporations subject to Subchapter S of the Code), any unused capital losses may only be carried back three and forward five years from the loss year to offset capital gains until such net capital losses are exhausted.

Foreign Personal Holding Company Considerations

Special rules apply to a U.S. Holder of a “foreign personal holding company” or “FPHC” as defined in Section 552 of the Code. Strata will not be classified as a FPHC for U.S. federal income tax purposes unless (i) five or fewer individuals who are U.S. citizens or residents own or are deemed to own more than 50% of the total voting power of all classes of stock entitled to vote or the total value of Strata stock; and (ii) at least 60% (or 50% in certain cases) of Strata’s gross income consists of “foreign personal holding company income,” which generally includes passive income such as dividends, interest, gains from the sale or exchange of stock or securities, certain rents, and royalties. Strata believes that it is not a FPHC; however, no assurance can be provided that Strata will not be classified as a FPHC in the future.

Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations

If Strata is a “passive foreign investment company” or “PFIC” as defined in Section 1297 of the Code, U.S. Holders will be subject to U.S. federal income taxation under one of two alternative tax regimes at the election of each such U.S. Holder. Section 1297 of the Code defines a PFIC as a corporation that is not formed in the United States and either (i) 75% or more of its gross income for the taxable year is “passive income”, which generally includes interest, dividends and certain rents and royalties or (ii) the average percentage, by fair market value (or, if Strata elects, adjusted tax basis), of its assets that produce or are held for the production of “passive income” is 50% or more.  The rules applicable to a FPHC take priority over the rules applicable to a PFIC, so that amounts includable in gross income under the FPHC rules will not be taxable again under the PFIC rules. Strata does not believe that it will be a PFIC for the current fiscal year or for future years.  Whether Strata is a PFIC in any year and the tax consequences relating to PFIC status will depend on the composition of Strata’s income and assets, including cash.  U.S. Holders should be aware, however, that if Strata becomes a PFIC, it may not be able or willing to satisfy record-keeping requirements that would enable U.S. Holders to make an election to treat Strata as a “qualified electing fund” for purposes of one of the two alternative tax regimes applicable to a PFIC.  U.S. Holders or potential shareholders should consult their own tax advisor concerning the impact of these rules on their investment in Strata.

H. Documents on Display

We are subject to the periodic reporting and other informational requirements of the Exchange Act. Under the Exchange Act, we are required to file reports and other information with the SEC. Specifically, we are required to file annually a Form 20-F annual report no later than four months after the close of each fiscal year, which is December 31. Copies of reports and other information, when so filed, may be inspected without charge and may be obtained at prescribed rates at the public reference facilities maintained by the SEC at 100 F Street, N.E., Room 1580, Washington, D.C. 20549. The public may obtain information regarding the Washington, D.C. Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. The SEC also maintains a web site at www.sec.gov that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding registrants that make electronic filings with the SEC using its EDGAR system. As a foreign private issuer, we are exempt from the rules under the Exchange Act prescribing the furnishing and content of quarterly reports and proxy statements, and officers, directors and principal shareholders are exempt from the reporting and short-swing profit recovery provisions contained in Section 16 of the Exchange Act.

The Company is not required to file reports and other information with any securities commissions in Canada.

I. Subsidiary Information

Not applicable.

Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk represents the potential risk of loss in the future earnings of Strata due to adverse changes in financial markets.  Strata is exposed to market risk from changes in its common share price, foreign exchange rates and interest rates. Inflation has not had a significant impact on Strata’s results of operations.

Foreign Currency Sensitivity

While our financial statements are reported in US dollars and are intended to comply with U.S. GAAP requirements, a significant portion of our business operations may be conducted in Canadian dollars.  Since June 1, 1970, the government of Canada has permitted a floating exchange rate to determine the value of the Canadian dollar as compared to the United States dollar.  On April 3, 2013, the exchange rate in effect for Canadian dollars exchanged for United States dollars, expressed in terms of Canadian dollars was $1.01.  This exchange rate is based on the noon buying rates of the Bank of Canada.

Interest Rate Sensitivity

The Company currently has no significant long-term or short-term debt requiring interest payments.  Thus, the Company has not entered into any agreement or purchased any instrument to hedge against possible interest rate risks at this time.

The Company's interest earning investments are primarily short-term, or can be held to maturity, and thus, any reductions in carrying values due to future interest rate declines are believed to be immaterial.  However, as the Company has a significant cash or near-cash position, which is invested in such instruments, reductions in interest rates will reduce the interest income from these investments.

Item 15. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, under supervision and with the participation of the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined under Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e). Based upon this evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2012, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

40

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management’s Report on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined under Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Our internal control over financial reporting is designed 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.

All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can only provide reasonable assurance with respect to financial reporting reliability and financial statement preparation and presentation. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to risk that controls become inadequate because of changes in conditions and that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012. In making the assessment, management used the criteria issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on its assessment, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2012, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective.

As defined by Auditing Standard No. 5, “An Audit of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting that is Integrated with an Audit of Financial Statements and Related Independence Rule and Conforming Amendments,” established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”), a material weakness is a deficiency or combination of deficiencies that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. In connection with the assessment described above, management concluded the Company does not have control deficiencies that represent material weaknesses as of December 31, 2012.

Attestation Report of Registered Public Accounting Firm

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

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

As of December 31, 2012, management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, and based on that evaluation, they concluded that through December 31, 2012 and to date, the internal controls and procedures were effective. During the course of their evaluation, we did not discover any fraud involving management or any other personnel who play a significant role in our disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls over financial reporting.

We believe that our financial statements contained in our Form 20-F for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012, fairly present our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the years covered thereby in all material respects.  We are committed to improving our financial organization. We will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and are committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements as necessary.

Item 16A. Audit Committee

The Board of Directors is empowered to appoint an Audit Committee for the Corporation. Currently the Board of Directors functions as the Audit Committee. We believe that the Board of Directors are collectively capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. In addition, we believe that retaining an independent director who would qualify as an “audit committee financial expert” would be overly costly and burdensome and is not warranted in our circumstances given the early stages of our development and the fact that we have not generated revenues to date.

41

Item 16B. Code of Ethics

The Company has adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to its principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions.  For purposes of this Item, the term Code of Ethics means written standards that are reasonably designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote:

· honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;

· full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that the issuer files with, or submits to, the Commission and in other public communications made by the issuer;

· compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations;

· the prompt internal reporting of violations of the code to the board of directors or another appropriate person or persons identified in the code; and

· accountability for adherence to the code.

There have been no amendments to the Code of Ethics and no waivers of any of its provisions during the year ended December 31, 2012.

The Company hereby undertakes to provide to any person without charge, upon request, a copy of such Code of Ethics.  Such request may be made in writing to the Board of Directors at the address of the issuer.

Item 16C. Principal Accountant Fees and Services

The fees billed for each of the last two fiscal years for professional services rendered by the Company’s audit firm for various services (including an estimate of year end audit fees) are set forth below:

	Fiscal year ending December 31, 2012 (1)(2)		Fiscal year ending December 31, 2011 (1)
Audit Fees	$	15,000	$	21,000
Audit Related Fees				–
Tax Fees				–
All Other Fees				–
	$	15,000	$	21,000

(1)	As of December 31, 2012, the Company’s Audit Committee did not have a formal documented pre-approval policy for the fees of the principal accountant.
(2)	Estimated to date for the year ended December 31, 2012

From time to time, management of the Company recommends to and requests approval from the Board of Directors for non-audit services to be provided by the Company’s auditors.  The Board routinely considers such requests during Board meetings, and if acceptable to a majority of the Board members, pre-approves such non-audit services by a resolution authorizing management to engage the Company’s auditors for such non-audit services, with set maximum dollar amounts for each itemized service.  During such deliberations, the Board assesses, among other factors, whether the services requested would be considered “prohibited services” as contemplated by the Securities and Exchange Commission and whether the services requested and the fees related to such services could impair the independence of the auditors.  All of the non-audit related services provided by the Company’s audit firm were pre-approved by the Board.

Item 16D. Exemptions from the Listing Standards for Audit Committees

Not applicable.

Item 16E. Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers

Neither the Company nor any “affiliated purchasers” as defined in Rule 10b-18(a)(3) under the Exchange Act purchased any shares of the Company.

Item 16F. Change in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant

Effective February 29, 2012, the Company dismissed BDO Canada LLP (“BDO”) from serving as the Company’s principal independent accountants and retained Peterson Sullivan LLP, Certified Public Accountants (“Peterson Sullivan”) as its principal independent accountants. The decision to change accountants was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors.

42

BDO’s report on the financial statements for the Company’s fiscal years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.

During the 2010 and 2009 fiscal years and the subsequent interim period that preceded BDO’s dismissal, there was no disagreement with BDO on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreement, if not resolved to BDO’s satisfaction, would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with their report, and there was no reportable event described in Item 16F(a)(1)(v).

However, without qualifying their opinion, BDO included an explanatory paragraph in their report on our financial statements for the 2010 and 2009 fiscal years which noted that there was substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company has provided BDO with a copy of this disclosure and has requested that BDO furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether they agree with the above statements, and if not, stating the respects in which they do not agree. A copy of that letter from BDO dated May 14, 2012 is filed as an exhibit to this Form 20-F annual report.

 Prior to February 29, 2012, when Peterson Sullivan was retained as the Company’s principal independent accountants, the Company did not consult Peterson Sullivan regarding:

(1) Either: The application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed; or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and either a written report was provided to the Company or oral advice was provided that the new auditors concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or

(2) Any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Item 16F(a)(1)(iv) and the related instructions to that item) or a reportable event (as described in Item 16F(a)(1)(v)).

Strata Oil and Gas Inc.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Strata Oil and Gas Inc. (an exploration stage company) ("the Company") as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010, and for the period from July 1, 2005 (the date of entering into exploration stage) to December 31, 2012. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the 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 has determined that it is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits 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 includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Strata Oil and Gas Inc. (an exploration stage company) as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, and for the period from July 1, 2005 (the date of entering into exploration stage) to December 31, 2012, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has not been able to generate any operating revenues to date and has incurred cumulative losses during the exploration stage of $13,116,796 through December 31, 2012. In addition, the Company had negative cash flows from operations of $190,894 during the year ended December 31, 2012. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans regarding those matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to the Financial Statements

1.      NATURE OF BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS

Strata Oil & Gas Inc. (the ‘Company’) is engaged in the exploration for oil and natural gas in oil sands in the Canadian province of Alberta.  The Company was formerly engaged in the development of Knowledge Worker Automation (KWA) software.

Upon disposal of the Company’s software assets and change in focus to oil and gas exploration, the Company has entered the exploration stage of its new business activity and follows Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 915, Development Stage Enterprises.

2.      ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in US dollars and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.  The Company commenced its oil and gas exploration activities in the last quarter of 2005. The Company has not realized any revenue from its present operations. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company incurred a loss from continuing operations of $1,856,790 primarily as a result of a $1,620,319 loss from the change in fair value of a derivative liability. In addition, the Company had negative cash flows from operations of $190,894 and is expected to continue to incur further negative operating cash flows in the foreseeable future.  Since the Company had re-entered the exploration stage, it has an accumulated deficit of $13,116,796 at December 31, 2012. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to develop its oil and gas properties and ultimately achieve profitable operations and to generate sufficient cash flow from financing and operations to meet its obligations as they become payable. The Company expects that it will need approximately $350,000 to fund its operations during the next twelve months which will include minimum annual property lease payments, exploration expenditures as well as operating expenses.  Management has plans to seek additional capital through a private placement and public offering of its common stock. Although there are no assurances that management’s plans will be realized, management believes that the Company will be able to continue operations in the future.  Accordingly, no adjustment relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and the classification of liabilities has been made to the accompanying financial statements in anticipation of the Company not being able to continue as a going concern.

3.      SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Management’s Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the balance sheet date, and revenues and expenses for the period then ended.  Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates

Oil and Gas Property Payments and Exploration Costs

The Company follows the full cost method of accounting for natural gas and oil operations.  Under the full cost method all costs incurred in the acquisition, exploration and development of natural gas and oil reserves are initially capitalized into cost centers on a country-by-country basis. The Company’s current cost center is located in Canada. Such costs include land acquisition costs, geological and geophysical expenditures, carrying charges on non-producing properties, costs of drilling and overhead charges directly related to acquisition, exploration and development activities.

52

3.      SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Costs capitalized, together with the costs of production equipment, are depleted and amortized on the unit-of-production method based on the estimated net proved reserves, as determined by independent petroleum engineers. In December 2009, the Company adopted revised oil and gas reserve estimation and disclosure requirements. The primary impact of the new disclosures is to conform the definition of proved reserves with the SEC Modernization of Oil and Gas Reporting rules, which were issued by the SEC at the end of 2008. The accounting standards update revised the definition of proved oil and gas reserves to require that the average, first-day-of-the-month price during the 12-month period before the end of the year rather than the year-end price, must be used when estimating whether reserve quantities are economical to produce. This same 12-month average price is also used in calculating the aggregate amount of (and changes in) future cash inflows related to the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows. Costs of acquiring and evaluating unproved properties are initially excluded from depletion calculations. These unevaluated properties are assessed periodically to ascertain whether impairment has occurred. When proved reserves are assigned or the property is considered to be impaired, the cost of the property or the amount of the impairment is added to costs subject to depletion calculations.

Under full cost accounting rules, capitalized costs, less accumulated amortization and related deferred income taxes, shall not exceed an amount (the ceiling) equal to the sum of: (i) the after tax present value of estimated future net revenues computed by applying current prices of oil and gas reserves to estimated future production of proved oil and gas reserves as of the date of the latest balance sheet presented, less estimated future expenditures (based on currents costs) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved reserves computed using a discount factor of ten percent and assuming continuation of existing economic conditions; (ii) the cost of properties not being amortized; and (iii) the lower of cost or estimated fair value of unproven properties included in the costs being amortized.  If unamortized costs capitalized within a cost center, less related deferred income taxes, exceed the ceiling, the excess shall be charged to expense and separately disclosed during the period in which the excess occurs. Amounts thus required to be written off shall not be reinstated for any subsequent increase in the cost center ceiling.

The Company has not recognized any revenue from its oil and gas exploration activities which commenced in the last quarter of 2005.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents. There was no cash equivalent balances for the year ended December 31, 2012 (2011 – $Nil).

GST Receivables

GST Receivables are presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Receivables consist of goods and services input tax credits. The allowance was $Nil at both December 31, 2012 and 2011.

Office Equipment

Office equipment is recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets which is estimated to be five years.

Office equipment	$	11,614		$	11,614

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

In accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, long lived assets such as equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of would be separately presented in the balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount of fair value less costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated. The assets and liabilities of a disposed group classified as held for sale would be presented separately in the appropriate asset and liability sections of the balance sheet.

Asset Retirement Obligations

In accordance with ASC 410, Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations the fair value of an asset retirement cost, and corresponding liability, should be recorded as part of the cost of the related long-lived asset and subsequently allocated to expense using a systematic and rational method. The Company has recorded an asset retirement obligation at December 31, 2012 and 2011 (Note 6) to reflect its legal obligations related to future abandonment of its oil and gas interests using estimated expected cash flow associated with the obligation and discounting the amount using a credit-adjusted, risk-free interest rate. At least annually, the Company will reassess the obligation to determine whether a change in any estimated obligation is necessary. The Company will evaluate whether there are indicators that suggest the estimated cash flows underlying the obligation have materially changed. Should those indicators suggest the estimated obligation has materially changed the Company will accordingly update its assessment. The asset retirement obligation is measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis using level 3 inputs based on discounted cash flows involving estimates, assumptions, and judgments regarding the cost, timing of settlement, credit-adjusted risk-free rate and inflation rates.

Income Taxes

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences of differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. If it is determined that the realization of the future tax benefit is not more likely than not, the enterprise establishes a valuation allowance.

Foreign Exchange Translation

The Company's functional currency is the Canadian dollar, but reports its financial statements in US dollars. The Company translates its Canadian dollar balances to US dollars in the following manner: Assets and liabilities have been translated using the rate of exchange at the balance sheet date. The Company’s results of operations have been translated using average rates. Translation gains or losses resulting from the changes in the exchange rates are accumulated as other comprehensive income or loss in a separate component of stockholders' equity.

All amounts included in the accompanying financial statements and footnotes are stated in U.S. dollars.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company reviews the terms of its equity instruments and other financing arrangements to determine whether there are embedded derivative instruments that are required to be accounted for separately as a derivative financial instrument. Also, in connection with the issuance of financing instruments, the Company may issue freestanding options or warrants that may, depending on their terms, be accounted for as derivative instrument liabilities because they are exercisable in a currency other than the functional currency of the Company and thus do not meet the “fixed-for-fixed” criteria of ASC 815-40-15. The Company may also issue options or warrants to employees and non-employees in connection with consulting or other services.

3.      SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Derivative financial instruments are initially measured at their fair value. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported as charges or credits to income. For option and warrant-based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value the derivative instruments.

The change in the fair value of unvested options issued to non-employees for goods and services which meet the classification of a derivative financial instrument are charged as a compensation expense in consulting fees over the vesting period. Upon vesting, the change in the fair value of vested options to non-employees is charged to consulting fees.

Any exercise or cancellation of an equity instrument which meets the classification of a derivative financial instrument is trued-up to fair value at that date and the fair value of the exercised or cancelled instrument is then re-classed from liability to additional paid in capital.

The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is reassessed at the end of each reporting period. If reclassification is required, the fair value of the derivative instrument, as of the determination date, is reclassified. Any previous charges or credits to income for changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument are not reversed. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

Stock Option Plans

The Company has elected to use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options granted. In accordance with the accounting standard for employees, the compensation expense is amortized on a graded vesting basis over the requisite service period which approximates the vesting period. Compensation expense for stock options granted to non-employees is amortized over the contract services period or, if none exists, from the date of grant until the options vest. Compensation associated with unvested options granted to non-employees is re-measured on each balance sheet date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. For those options to non-employees which meet the classification of a derivative instrument, the instrument will follow the derivative financial instrument policy.

The expected volatility of options granted has been determined using the methods described under the relevant accounting standard. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise, forfeiture and employee termination within the valuation model. For non-employees, the expected term of the options approximates the full term of the options. The risk-free interest rate is based on a treasury instrument whose term is consistent with the expected term of the stock options. The Company has not paid and does not anticipate paying dividends on its common stock; therefore, the expected dividend yield is assumed to be zero. In addition, accounting standard requires companies to utilize an estimated forfeiture rate when calculating the expense for the reporting period. Based on its best estimate, management applied the estimated forfeiture rate of nil in determining the expense recorded in the accompanying Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).

Compensation expense is recognized immediately for past services and pro-rata for future services over the option vesting period.  During 2012, the Company recognized $40,826 (2011 - $3,000 expense; 2010 - $4,775) in stock-based compensation expense in the Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) in respect of options granted to non-employees.  All stock options granted in 2012, 2011 and 2010 were to non-employees of the Company.

55

3.      SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

The fair value of each option granted is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model on the date of grant. During the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 the following weighted average assumptions were used:

	2012		2011		2010
Dividend yield		0%		0%		0%
Expected volatility		152.6%		106.5%		108.82%
Risk-free rate		1.67%		0.92%		3.11%
Expected life in years		10		9		10

The weighted average grant date fair value per option in 2012 was $0.07 (2011 - $Nil; 2010 – $0.27)

Expected volatilities are calculated using the historical volatility of the Company’s stock. When applicable, the Company will use historical data to estimate option exercise, forfeiture and employees termination within the valuation model. For non-employees, the expected term of the options approximates the full term of the options.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share of Common Stock

Basic earnings (loss) per share of common stock is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share of common stock reflect the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the Company. Dilutive potential common shares are calculated in accordance with the treasury stock method, which assumes that proceeds from the exercise of all warrants and options are used to repurchase common stock at market value. The amount of shares remaining after the proceeds are exhausted represents the potentially dilutive effect of the securities. Warrants and options with an exercise price lower than the weighted average share price during the period were determined to be anti-dilutive and excluded from the computation of earnings per share.

At December 31, 2012, the effect of all outstanding options and common stock warrants would have been anti-dilutive, due to the net loss incurred, accordingly only basic earnings per share is presented 2012.

At December 31, 2011 and 2010, potential common shares of 8,657,486 and 7,813,372 respectively, were not included in diluted earnings per share related to stock options and warrants and were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share since their effect was anti-dilutive. See Note 8 for calculation of diluted income per common share.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The book values of cash, GST receivables and accounts payable approximate their respective fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair value hierarchy under GAAP distinguishes between assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and an entity’s own assumptions (unobservable inputs). The hierarchy consists of three levels:

• Level one — Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

• Level two — Inputs other than level one inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable; and

• Level three — Unobservable inputs developed using estimates and assumptions, which are developed by the reporting entity and reflect those assumptions that a market participant would use.

Determining which category an asset or liability falls within the hierarchy requires significant judgment. We evaluate our hierarchy disclosures each quarter. Liabilities measured at fair value are summarized as follows as of:

December 31, 2012 

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Derivative liability	$	–	$	–	$	2,342,989	$	2,342,989
Asset retirement obligation	$	–	$	–	$	138,129	$	138,129

3.      SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

We currently measure and report the fair value liability for stock options and warrants with a strike price currency different than the functional currency of the Company on a recurring basis. The fair value liabilities for non-employee stock options and warrants have been recorded as determined utilizing the Black-Scholes option pricing model. See Note 4 for further discussion of the inputs used in determining the fair value.

The asset retirement obligation is measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis using level 3 inputs based on discounted cash flows involving estimates, assumptions, and judgments regarding the cost, timing of settlement, credit-adjusted risk-free rate and inflation rates. See Note 6 for further discussion of the inputs used in determining the fair value.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive income (loss) is defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. The Company's items of other comprehensive income (loss) are foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities.

New Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

4.           DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

Derivative liabilities, consisting of the equity instruments such as options to non-employees and common share warrants with an exercise price in a different currency than the Company’s functional currency, are accounted for as separate liabilities measured at their respective fair values as follows:

Balance, December 31, 2009	$	7,218,561
Re-classification to common stock on exercise of warrants		(622,134	)
Re-classification to additional paid-in capital on cancellation of options		(117,985	)
Change in fair value of derivative liabilities		(4,474,283	)
Balance, December 31, 2010		2,004,159
Fair value of warrants issued in private placements		325,176
Foreign exchange effect on derivative liability		(38,719	)
Change in fair value of derivative liabilities		(1,806,379	)
Balance, December 31, 2011		484,777
Fair value of warrants issued in private placements		226,400
Change in fair value of derivative liabilities		1,620,319
Foreign exchange effect on derivative liability		11,493
Balance, December 31, 2012	$	2,342,989

The fair value of the derivative liabilities has been determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following range of assumptions:

	December 31,	December 31,
	2012	2011
Risk-free interest rate	1.21 to 1.80%	0.86 to 0.92%
Expected life of derivative liability	2 to 10 yrs	1 to 9 yrs
Annualized volatility	201.4%	106.5%
Dividend rate	0.00%	0.00%

Re-classifications from liability to equity are supplemental non-cash transactions in the cash flow statement.

Peace River Property

The Company has entered into a series of leases in multiple transactions with the Province of Alberta in the Peace River area of Alberta, Canada (the “Peace River Property”).  All of the leases were acquired through a public auction process that requires the Company to submit sealed bids for land packages being auctioned by the provincial government. Upon being notified that it has submitted the highest bid for a specific land parcel the Company immediately pays the government the bid price and enters into a formal lease with the government. All of the leases are for a 15 year term, require minimum annual lease payments, and grant the Company the right to explore for potential oil sands opportunities on the respective lease. The specific transactions entered into by the Company are as noted below.

Date	Number of Leases	Land Area (Hectares)	Annual Lease Payments
June 15, 2006	3	4,864	CDN $17,024 / USD $17,077
October 19, 2006	4	3,584	CDN $12,544 / USD $12,583
November 2, 2006	4	5,632	CDN $19,712 / USD $19,773
January 11, 2007	4	4,608	CDN $16,128 / USD $16,178
January 24, 2007	2	2,304	CDN $8,064 / USD $8,089
	17	20,992	CDN $73,472 / USD $73,700

On December 20, 2010, the Company entered into an assignment and assumption agreement with Alberta Company, a related party by common director and officer, assigning an undivided 100% right and interest in 25 Alberta Crown Oil Sands Lease Agreements, pursuant to respective individual lease agreements with the Province of Alberta for the sale price of $303,833 (CDN $300,000) being the approximate fair value of the leases. The fair market value of CDN $300,000 was established through the combination of third party evidence and recent sales comparables. There was a loss recognized of $731,866 on the disposition of properties due to the combination of all acquisition costs and prior year’s annual lease payments being capitalized.

Drowned Property

On September 7, 2005 the Company acquired a 100% interest in an Alberta oil sands lease (the “Drowned Property”).  The rights to the Drowned Property were acquired for $20,635 plus fees and closing costs of $8,150 which were paid. The Property covers 512 hectares of land in the Drowned Area of the Wabasca oil sands in the West Athabasca area of Northern Alberta. The lease, which expires in October 2015, gives the Company the right to explore the Property covered by the lease.  The Company’s acquisition of the lease includes an overriding 4% royalty agreement with the vendor. The royalty is to be paid on a well-to-well basis and is payable on all petroleum substances produced by any well on the Property. The Property is subject to an annual lease payment payable to the government of Alberta in the amount of CDN $1,792 (USD $1,798) until expiry on October 4, 2015.

All of the Company’s leases for the Peace River and Drowned Properties are also subject to royalties payable to the government of Alberta. The royalties payable to the government of Alberta is in addition to the royalties payable to the vendor above. The royalty is calculated using a revenue-less-cost formula.  In years prior to the recovery of the project’s capital investment, the royalty is 1% of gross revenue.  Once the project costs have been recovered, the royalty is the greater of 1% of gross revenue or 25% of net revenue.

The following table sets forth the Company’s future minimum lease payments on its oil and gas properties.

	Total	Less than 1 year	1-3 years	4-5 years	More than five years
Peace River and Drowned properties	$617,640	$75,497	$149,197	$147,400	$245,366

6.       ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS

During 2007, the Company drilled four wells on its Peace River Property.  Total future asset retirement obligations were estimated by management based on the Company’s working interest in its wells and facilities, estimated costs to remediate, reclaim and abandon the wells and facilities and the estimated timing of the costs to be incurred in future periods. The Company has estimated the net present value of its total asset retirement obligations to be approximately $138,129 at December 31, 2012 (2011 - $127,688), based on an undiscounted total future liability of $293,879 (CDN$293,000). These payments are expected to be incurred between 2015 and 2030. The Company used a credit adjusted discount rate of 10% per annum and an inflation rate of 2% to calculate the present value of the asset retirement obligation.  Accretion expense of $7,500 (2011 – $8,647, 2010 - $8,344) has been recorded in the Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss at December 31, 2012.

Earnings per share

Basic income per common share is computed by dividing income available to the Company’s common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income per common share reflects the potential dilution that could occur from common share issuable through stock options and warrants. Diluted income per common share is computed similarly to basic income per common stock except that weighted average common stock is increased to include the potential issuance of dilutive common stock.

9.      STOCK OPTION PLANS

During 2001, the Company adopted its 2002 Stock Option Plan (“the 2002 Plan”), which provided for the granting of up to an additional 7,000,000 stock options to key employees, directors and consultants, to purchase common shares of the Company.  As of December 31, 2012 and 2011 there were no options outstanding under the 2002 plan. The 2002 Plan expired during 2012.

Activity under the 2002 Plan is summarized as follows:

	Available for Grant		Options Outstanding			Weighted Average Exercise Price
Balance, December 31, 2009		536,000		814,000		$	0.11

At the Annual General and Special Meeting of Shareholders held in June 2006 the stockholders approved and the Company adopted its 2006 Stock Option Plan (“the 2006 Plan”).  The 2006 Plan provides for the granting of up to an additional 8,000,000 stock options to key employees, directors and consultants, of common shares of the Company.  Under the 2006 Plan, the granting of incentive and non-qualified stock options, exercise prices and terms are determined by the Company's Option Committee, a committee designated to administer the 2006 Plan by the Board of Directors. For incentive options, the exercise price shall not be less than the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the grant date. (In the case of options granted to an employee who owns stock possessing more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of the Company's stock on the date of grant, the option price must not be less than 110% of the fair market value of common stock on the grant date.)  Options granted are not to exceed terms beyond ten years (five years in the case of an incentive stock option granted to a holder of 10 percent of the Company's common stock).

Activity under the 2006 Plan is summarized as follows:

	Available for Grant			Options Outstanding			Weighted Average Exercise Price

9.      STOCK OPTION PLANS- continued

The aggregate intrinsic value of stock options outstanding at December 31, 2012 was $17,000 (2011 - $Nil, 2010 - $19,330) while the aggregate intrinsic value of stock options exercisable at December 31, 2012 was $Nil (2011 - $Nil, 2010 - $18,580). No stock options were exercised in 2012, 2011, or 2010.

During the year ended December 31, 2010, 200,000 options were cancelled unexercised. Upon cancellation, the fair value of these liability instruments of $117,985 was re-classified from liability to additional paid-in capital. See Note 4.

The following table summarizes information concerning unvested common stock options under both the 2006 and 2002 Plans at December 31, 2012:

	Number of Unvested Options			Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value

As of December 31, 2012, there was $115,900 (2011 – $5,605, 2010 - $16,385) of total unrecognized compensation cost related to all unvested options granted and outstanding. This unrecognized compensation cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2 years (2011 – 2 years, 2010 – 3 years)

During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company recorded consulting fees of $40,826 (2011 – $3,000; 2010 – $4,775) in the statement of operations related to stock options granted to non-employees during the year.

* On October 23, 2012 the Board of Directors resolved to offer an extended the exercise period for certain warrants for a period of up to 2 years from their original expiration date. The warrant holders who completed the warrant extension agreement had the expiration date extended as specified in the agreement. Warrant holders that did not elect to have their warrants extended were forfeited. There was no additional cost associated with the extension as the change in the value of the warrants is recognized through the change in the fair value of the derivative liability on the face of the statements of operations.

11.      INCOME TAXES

The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to the Company’s deferred tax assets are as follows:

	2012			2011
Deferred tax assets (liabilities)
Net operating loss carry-forwards	$	1,009,000		$	962,000
Capital losses		5,000			5,000
Office equipment		12,500			12,500
Oil and gas properties		281,000			281,000
Asset retirement obligation		41,500			34,000
		1,349,000			1,294,500
Valuation allowance		(1,349,000	)		(1,294,500	)
Net deferred tax asset	$	–		$	–

64

11.           INCOME TAXES – continued

Upon continuation to Canada in 2004, all losses carried forward at that time expired. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had available to offset future taxable income, net Canadian operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $4.1 million. The carry-forwards will begin expiring in 2014 unless utilized in earlier years. The Company also has approximately $8.9 million in Canadian oil and gas dedication pools that can be used to offset income of future periods.

The Company evaluates its valuation allowance requirements based on projected future operations. When circumstances change and this causes a change in management's judgment about the recoverability of deferred tax assets, the impact of the change on the valuation allowance is reflected in current income. During the years ended December 31, 2012, 2010 and 2009, changes in valuation allowance was $54,500, $56,500 and $357,000, respectively.

The (benefit) provision for income taxes differs from the amount of income tax determined by applying the applicable Canadian statutory federal income tax rate to pre-tax loss as a result of the following differences:

	2012			2011			2010
Statutory federal income tax rate		(25%	)		(27%	)		(29%	)
Change in valuation allowance		(5%	)		(5%	)		(10%	)
Non-deductible stock-based compensation		1%			2%			1%
Non-deductible change in fair value of derivative Liability		30%			30%			36%
Effect of foreign exchange		1%			2%			3%
Effect of reduction in income tax rate		(2%	)		(2%	)		(1%	)
		-%			-%			-%

The Company has evaluated its tax positions for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 and determined that it has no uncertain tax positions requiring financial statement recognition.

Under ASC 740-10-25, the impact of an uncertain income tax position on income tax expense must be recognized at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has 50% or less likelihood of being sustained.

We accrue interest and penalties on our uncertain tax positions as a component of our provision for income taxes. There was no amount of interest and penalties recognized as an expense during 2012 or 2011.

Our income tax returns are generally considered closed to examination when we file a notice of determination with the taxing authority. No such notice has been filed to date.

12.      COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Environmental Matters

The Company is engaged in oil and gas exploration and may become subject to certain liabilities as they relate to environmental cleanup of sites or other environmental restoration procedures as they relate to the exploration of oil and gas. Should it be determined that a liability exists with respect to any environmental clean up or restoration, the liability to cure such a violation could fall upon the Company. No claim has been made, nor is the Company aware of any liability, which it may have, as it relates to any environmental clean-up, restoration or the violation of any rules or regulations relating thereto. Liabilities for expenditures are recorded when environmental assessment and/or remediation is probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated.

65

13.      SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Subsequent to year end the Company closed a series of private placements for a total of 1,375,000 units for an aggregate total offering price of $125,000. Each unit consisted of one share of common stock of the Company and one Class A Warrant exercisable, beginning on the one year anniversary date of the placement, for one share of common stock for a period of four years and expiring in 2018.

2. ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN

Dec. 31, 2012

Notes to Financial Statements

ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in US dollars and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.  The Company commenced its oil and gas exploration activities in the last quarter of 2005. The Company has not realized any revenue from its present operations.  During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company incurred a loss from continuing operations of $1,856,790 primarily as a result of a $1,620,319 loss from the change in fair value of a derivative liability. In addition, the Company had negative cash flows from operations of $190,894 and is expected to continue to incur further negative operating cash flows in the foreseeable future.  Since the Company had re-entered the exploration stage, it has an accumulated deficit of $13,116,796 at December 31, 2012.  These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to develop its oil and gas properties and ultimately achieve profitable operations and to generate sufficient cash flow from financing and operations to meet its obligations as they become payable. The Company expects that it will need approximately $350,000 to fund its operations during the next twelve months which will include minimum annual property lease payments, exploration expenditures as well as operating expenses.  Management has plans to seek additional capital through a private placement and public offering of its common stock.  Although there are no assurances that management’s plans will be realized, management believes that the Company will be able to continue operations in the future.  Accordingly, no adjustment relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and the classification of liabilities has been made to the accompanying financial statements in anticipation of the Company not being able to continue as a going concern.

* On October 23, 2012 the Board of Directors resolved to offer an extended the exercise period for certain warrants for a period of up to 2 years from their original expiration date. The warrant holders who completed the warrant extension agreement had the expiration date extended as specified in the agreement. Warrant holders that did not elect to have their warrants extended were forfeited. There was no additional cost associated with the extension as the change in the value of the warrants is recognized through the change in the fair value of the derivative liability on the face of the statements of operations.

INCOME TAXES

The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to the Company’s deferred tax assets are as follows:

	2012			2011
Deferred tax assets (liabilities)
Net operating loss carry-forwards	$	1,009,000		$	962,000
Capital losses		5,000			5,000
Office equipment		12,500			12,500
Oil and gas properties		281,000			281,000
Asset retirement obligation		41,500			34,000
		1,349,000			1,294,500
Valuation allowance		(1,349,000	)		(1,294,500	)
Net deferred tax asset	$	–		$	–

Upon continuation to Canada in 2004, all losses carried forward at that time expired.  As of December 31, 2012, the Company had available to offset future taxable income, net Canadian operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $4.1 million.  The carry-forwards will begin expiring in 2014 unless utilized in earlier years.  The Company also has approximately $8.9 million in Canadian oil and gas dedication pools that can be used to offset income of future periods.

The Company evaluates its valuation allowance requirements based on projected future operations.  When circumstances change and this causes a change in management's judgment about the recoverability of deferred tax assets, the impact of the change on the valuation allowance is reflected in current income.  During the years ended December 31, 2012, 2010 and 2009, changes in valuation allowance was $54,500, $56,500 and $357,000, respectively.

The (benefit) provision for income taxes differs from the amount of income tax determined by applying the applicable Canadian statutory federal income tax rate to pre-tax loss as a result of the following differences:

	2012			2011			2010
Statutory federal income tax rate		(25%	)		(27%	)		(29%	)
Change in valuation allowance		(5%	)		(5%	)		(10%	)
Non-deductible stock-based compensation		1%			2%			1%
Non-deductible change in fair value of derivative Liability		30%			30%			36%
Effect of foreign exchange		1%			2%			3%
Effect of reduction in income tax rate		(2%	)		(2%	)		(1%	)
		-%			-%			-%

The Company has evaluated its tax positions for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 and determined that it has no uncertain tax positions requiring financial statement recognition.

Under ASC 740-10-25, the impact of an uncertain income tax position on income tax expense must be recognized at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has 50% or less likelihood of being sustained.

We accrue interest and penalties on our uncertain tax positions as a component of our provision for income taxes. There was no amount of interest and penalties recognized as an expense during 2012 or 2011.

Our income tax returns are generally considered closed to examination when we file a notice of determination with the taxing authority. No such notice has been filed to date.

Peace River Property

The Company has entered into a series of leases in multiple transactions with the Province of Alberta in the Peace River area of Alberta, Canada (the “Peace River Property”).  All of the leases were acquired through a public auction process that requires the Company to submit sealed bids for land packages being auctioned by the provincial government.  Upon being notified that it has submitted the highest bid for a specific land parcel the Company immediately pays the government the bid price and enters into a formal lease with the government.  All of the leases are for a 15 year term, require minimum annual lease payments, and grant the Company the right to explore for potential oil sands opportunities on the respective lease.  The specific transactions entered into by the Company are as noted below.

Date	Number of Leases	Land Area (Hectares)	Annual Lease Payments
June 15, 2006	3	4,864	CDN $17,024 / USD $17,077
October 19, 2006	4	3,584	CDN $12,544 / USD $12,583

	17	20,992	CDN $73,472 / USD $73,700

On December 20, 2010, the Company entered into an assignment and assumption agreement with Alberta Company, a related party by common director and officer, assigning an undivided 100% right and interest in 25 Alberta Crown Oil Sands Lease Agreements, pursuant to respective individual lease agreements with the Province of Alberta for the sale price of $303,833 (CDN $300,000) being the approximate fair value of the leases. The fair market value of CDN $300,000 was established through the combination of third party evidence and recent sales comparables. There was a loss recognized of $731,866 on the disposition of properties due to the combination of all acquisition costs and prior year’s annual lease payments being capitalized.

Drowned Property

On September 7, 2005 the Company acquired a 100% interest in an Alberta oil sands lease (the “Drowned Property”).  The rights to the Drowned Property were acquired for $20,635 plus fees and closing costs of $8,150 which were paid.  The Property covers 512 hectares of land in the Drowned Area of the Wabasca oil sands in the West Athabasca area of Northern Alberta.  The lease, which expires in October 2015, gives the Company the right to explore the Property covered by the lease.  The Company’s acquisition of the lease includes an overriding 4% royalty agreement with the vendor.  The royalty is to be paid on a well-to-well basis and is payable on all petroleum substances produced by any well on the Property.  The Property is subject to an annual lease payment payable to the government of Alberta in the amount of CDN $1,792 (USD $1,798) until expiry on October 4, 2015.

All of the Company’s leases for the Peace River and Drowned Properties are also subject to royalties payable to the government of Alberta. The royalties payable to the government of Alberta is in addition to the royalties payable to the vendor above. The royalty is calculated using a revenue-less-cost formula.  In years prior to the recovery of the project’s capital investment, the royalty is 1% of gross revenue.  Once the project costs have been recovered, the royalty is the greater of 1% of gross revenue or 25% of net revenue.

The following table sets forth the Company’s future minimum lease payments on its oil and gas properties.

	Total	Less than 1 year	1-3 years	4-5 years	More than five years
Peace River and Drowned properties	$617,640	$75,497	$149,197	$147,400	$245,366

Earnings per share

Basic income per common share is computed by dividing income available to the Company’s common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income per common share reflects the potential dilution that could occur from common share issuable through stock options and warrants. Diluted income per common share is computed similarly to basic income per common stock except that weighted average common stock is increased to include the potential issuance of dilutive common stock.

ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS

During 2007, the Company drilled four wells on its Peace River Property.  Total future asset retirement obligations were estimated by management based on the Company’s working interest in its wells and facilities, estimated costs to remediate, reclaim and abandon the wells and facilities and the estimated timing of the costs to be incurred in future periods. The Company has estimated the net present value of its total asset retirement obligations to be approximately $138,129 at December 31, 2012 (2011 - $127,688), based on an undiscounted total future liability of $293,879 (CDN$293,000). These payments are expected to be incurred between 2015 and 2030. The Company used a credit adjusted discount rate of 10% per annum and an inflation rate of 2% to calculate the present value of the asset retirement obligation.  Accretion expense of $7,500 (2011 – $8,647, 2010 - $8,344) has been recorded in the Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss at December 31, 2012.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)

12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2012

Significant Accounting Policies Policies

Managements Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the balance sheet date, and revenues and expenses for the period then ended.  Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates

Oil and Gas Property Payments and Exploration Costs

The Company follows the full cost method of accounting for natural gas and oil operations.  Under the full cost method all costs incurred in the acquisition, exploration and development of natural gas and oil reserves are initially capitalized into cost centers on a country-by-country basis. The Company’s current cost center is located in Canada. Such costs include land acquisition costs, geological and geophysical expenditures, carrying charges on non-producing properties, costs of drilling and overhead charges directly related to acquisition, exploration and development activities.

Costs capitalized, together with the costs of production equipment, are depleted and amortized on the unit-of-production method based on the estimated net proved reserves, as determined by independent petroleum engineers.  In December 2009, the Company adopted revised oil and gas reserve estimation and disclosure requirements. The primary impact of the new disclosures is to conform the definition of proved reserves with the SEC Modernization of Oil and Gas Reporting rules, which were issued by the SEC at the end of 2008. The accounting standards update revised the definition of proved oil and gas reserves to require that the average, first-day-of-the-month price during the 12-month period before the end of the year rather than the year-end price, must be used when estimating whether reserve quantities are economical to produce. This same 12-month average price is also used in calculating the aggregate amount of (and changes in) future cash inflows related to the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows. Costs of acquiring and evaluating unproved properties are initially excluded from depletion calculations. These unevaluated properties are assessed periodically to ascertain whether impairment has occurred. When proved reserves are assigned or the property is considered to be impaired, the cost of the property or the amount of the impairment is added to costs subject to depletion calculations.

Under full cost accounting rules, capitalized costs, less accumulated amortization and related deferred income taxes, shall not exceed an amount (the ceiling) equal to the sum of:  (i) the after tax present value of estimated future net revenues computed by applying current prices of oil and gas reserves to estimated future production of proved oil and gas reserves as of the date of the latest balance sheet presented, less estimated future expenditures (based on currents costs) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved reserves computed using a discount factor of ten percent and assuming continuation of existing economic conditions; (ii) the cost of properties not being amortized; and (iii) the lower of cost or estimated fair value of unproven properties included in the costs being amortized.  If unamortized costs capitalized within a cost center, less related deferred income taxes, exceed the ceiling, the excess shall be charged to expense and separately disclosed during the period in which the excess occurs.  Amounts thus required to be written off shall not be reinstated for any subsequent increase in the cost center ceiling.

The Company has not recognized any revenue from its oil and gas exploration activities which commenced in the last quarter of 2005.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents. There was no cash equivalent balances for the year ended December 31, 2012 (2011 – $Nil).

GST Receivables

GST Receivables are presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Receivables consist of goods and services input tax credits. The allowance was $Nil at both December 31, 2012 and 2011.

Office Equipment

Office equipment is recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets which is estimated to be five years.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

In accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, long lived assets such as equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset.  If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.  Assets to be disposed of would be separately presented in the balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount of fair value less costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated.  The assets and liabilities of a disposed group classified as held for sale would be presented separately in the appropriate asset and liability sections of the balance sheet.

Asset Retirement Obligations

In accordance with ASC 410, Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations the fair value of an asset retirement cost, and corresponding liability, should be recorded as part of the cost of the related long-lived asset and subsequently allocated to expense using a systematic and rational method. The Company has recorded an asset retirement obligation at December 31, 2012 and 2011 (Note 6) to reflect its legal obligations related to future abandonment of its oil and gas interests using estimated expected cash flow associated with the obligation and discounting the amount using a credit-adjusted, risk-free interest rate. At least annually, the Company will reassess the obligation to determine whether a change in any estimated obligation is necessary. The Company will evaluate whether there are indicators that suggest the estimated cash flows underlying the obligation have materially changed. Should those indicators suggest the estimated obligation has materially changed the Company will accordingly update its assessment. The asset retirement obligation is measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis using level 3 inputs based on discounted cash flows involving estimates, assumptions, and judgments regarding the cost, timing of settlement, credit-adjusted risk-free rate and inflation rates.

Income Taxes

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences of differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.  If it is determined that the realization of the future tax benefit is not more likely than not, the enterprise establishes a valuation allowance.

Foreign Exchange Translation

The Company's functional currency is the Canadian dollar, but reports its financial statements in US dollars. The Company translates its Canadian dollar balances to US dollars in the following manner:  Assets and liabilities have been translated using the rate of exchange at the balance sheet date.  The Company’s results of operations have been translated using average rates.  Translation gains or losses resulting from the changes in the exchange rates are accumulated as other comprehensive income or loss in a separate component of stockholders' equity.

All amounts included in the accompanying financial statements and footnotes are stated in U.S. dollars.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company reviews the terms of its equity instruments and other financing arrangements to determine whether there are embedded derivative instruments that are required to be accounted for separately as a derivative financial instrument. Also, in connection with the issuance of financing instruments, the Company may issue freestanding options or warrants that may, depending on their terms, be accounted for as derivative instrument liabilities because they are exercisable in a currency other than the functional currency of the Company and thus do not meet the “fixed-for-fixed” criteria of ASC 815-40-15. The Company may also issue options or warrants to employees and non-employees in connection with consulting or other services.

Derivative financial instruments are initially measured at their fair value. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported as charges or credits to income. For option and warrant-based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value the derivative instruments.

The change in the fair value of unvested options issued to non-employees for goods and services which meet the classification of a derivative financial instrument are charged as a compensation expense in consulting fees over the vesting period. Upon vesting, the change in the fair value of vested options to non-employees is charged to consulting fees.

Any exercise or cancellation of an equity instrument which meets the classification of a derivative financial instrument is trued-up to fair value at that date and the fair value of the exercised or cancelled instrument is then re-classed from liability to additional paid in capital.

The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is reassessed at the end of each reporting period. If reclassification is required, the fair value of the derivative instrument, as of the determination date, is reclassified. Any previous charges or credits to income for changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument are not reversed. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

Stock Option Plans

The Company has elected to use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options granted. In accordance with the accounting standard for employees, the compensation expense is amortized on a graded vesting basis over the requisite service period which approximates the vesting period. Compensation expense for stock options granted to non-employees is amortized over the contract services period or, if none exists, from the date of grant until the options vest. Compensation associated with unvested options granted to non-employees is re-measured on each balance sheet date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. For those options to non-employees which meet the classification of a derivative instrument, the instrument will follow the derivative financial instrument policy.

The expected volatility of options granted has been determined using the methods described under the relevant accounting standard. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise, forfeiture and employee termination within the valuation model. For non-employees, the expected term of the options approximates the full term of the options. The risk-free interest rate is based on a treasury instrument whose term is consistent with the expected term of the stock options. The Company has not paid and does not anticipate paying dividends on its common stock; therefore, the expected dividend yield is assumed to be zero. In addition, accounting standard requires companies to utilize an estimated forfeiture rate when calculating the expense for the reporting period. Based on its best estimate, management applied the estimated forfeiture rate of nil in determining the expense recorded in the accompanying Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).

Compensation expense is recognized immediately for past services and pro-rata for future services over the option vesting period.  During 2012, the Company recognized $40,826 (2011 - $3,000 expense; 2010 - $4,775) in stock-based compensation expense in the Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) in respect of options granted to non-employees.  All stock options granted in 2012, 2011 and 2010 were to non-employees of the Company.

The weighted average grant date fair value per option in 2012 was $0.07 (2011 - $Nil; 2010 – $0.27)

Expected volatilities are calculated using the historical volatility of the Company’s stock. When applicable, the Company will use historical data to estimate option exercise, forfeiture and employees termination within the valuation model. For non-employees, the expected term of the options approximates the full term of the options.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share of Common Stock

Basic earnings (loss) per share of common stock is computed by dividing  net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted earnings per share of common stock reflect the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the Company. Dilutive potential common shares are calculated in accordance with the treasury stock method, which assumes that proceeds from the exercise of all warrants and options are used to repurchase common stock at market value. The amount of shares remaining after the proceeds are exhausted represents the potentially dilutive effect of the securities.  Warrants and options with an exercise price lower than the weighted average share price during the period were determined to be anti-dilutive and excluded from the computation of earnings per share.

At December 31, 2012, the effect of all outstanding options and common stock warrants would have been anti-dilutive, due to the net loss incurred, accordingly only basic earnings per share is presented 2012.

At December 31, 2011 and 2010, potential common shares of 8,657,486 and 7,813,372 respectively, were not included in diluted earnings per share related to stock options and warrants and were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share since their effect was anti-dilutive. See Note 8 for calculation of diluted income per common share.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The book values of cash, GST receivables and accounts payable approximate their respective fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair value hierarchy under GAAP distinguishes between assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and an entity’s own assumptions (unobservable inputs). The hierarchy consists of three levels:

• Level one — Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

• Level two — Inputs other than level one inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable; and

• Level three — Unobservable inputs developed using estimates and assumptions, which are developed by the reporting entity and reflect those assumptions that a market participant would use.

We currently measure and report the fair value liability for stock options and warrants with a strike price currency different than the functional currency of the Company on a recurring basis. The fair value liabilities for non-employee stock options and warrants have been recorded as determined utilizing the Black-Scholes option pricing model. See Note 4 for further discussion of the inputs used in determining the fair value.

The asset retirement obligation is measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis using level 3 inputs based on discounted cash flows involving estimates, assumptions, and judgments regarding the cost, timing of settlement, credit-adjusted risk-free rate and inflation rates. See Note 6 for further discussion of the inputs used in determining the fair value.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive income (loss) is defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. The Company's items of other comprehensive income (loss) are foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities.

New Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Management’s Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the balance sheet date, and revenues and expenses for the period then ended.  Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates

Oil and Gas Property Payments and Exploration Costs

The Company follows the full cost method of accounting for natural gas and oil operations.  Under the full cost method all costs incurred in the acquisition, exploration and development of natural gas and oil reserves are initially capitalized into cost centers on a country-by-country basis. The Company’s current cost center is located in Canada. Such costs include land acquisition costs, geological and geophysical expenditures, carrying charges on non-producing properties, costs of drilling and overhead charges directly related to acquisition, exploration and development activities.

Costs capitalized, together with the costs of production equipment, are depleted and amortized on the unit-of-production method based on the estimated net proved reserves, as determined by independent petroleum engineers.  In December 2009, the Company adopted revised oil and gas reserve estimation and disclosure requirements. The primary impact of the new disclosures is to conform the definition of proved reserves with the SEC Modernization of Oil and Gas Reporting rules, which were issued by the SEC at the end of 2008. The accounting standards update revised the definition of proved oil and gas reserves to require that the average, first-day-of-the-month price during the 12-month period before the end of the year rather than the year-end price, must be used when estimating whether reserve quantities are economical to produce. This same 12-month average price is also used in calculating the aggregate amount of (and changes in) future cash inflows related to the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows. Costs of acquiring and evaluating unproved properties are initially excluded from depletion calculations. These unevaluated properties are assessed periodically to ascertain whether impairment has occurred. When proved reserves are assigned or the property is considered to be impaired, the cost of the property or the amount of the impairment is added to costs subject to depletion calculations.

Under full cost accounting rules, capitalized costs, less accumulated amortization and related deferred income taxes, shall not exceed an amount (the ceiling) equal to the sum of:  (i) the after tax present value of estimated future net revenues computed by applying current prices of oil and gas reserves to estimated future production of proved oil and gas reserves as of the date of the latest balance sheet presented, less estimated future expenditures (based on currents costs) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved reserves computed using a discount factor of ten percent and assuming continuation of existing economic conditions; (ii) the cost of properties not being amortized; and (iii) the lower of cost or estimated fair value of unproven properties included in the costs being amortized.  If unamortized costs capitalized within a cost center, less related deferred income taxes, exceed the ceiling, the excess shall be charged to expense and separately disclosed during the period in which the excess occurs.  Amounts thus required to be written off shall not be reinstated for any subsequent increase in the cost center ceiling.

The Company has not recognized any revenue from its oil and gas exploration activities which commenced in the last quarter of 2005.

In accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, long lived assets such as equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset.  If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.  Assets to be disposed of would be separately presented in the balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount of fair value less costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated.  The assets and liabilities of a disposed group classified as held for sale would be presented separately in the appropriate asset and liability sections of the balance sheet.

Asset Retirement Obligations

In accordance with ASC 410, Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations the fair value of an asset retirement cost, and corresponding liability, should be recorded as part of the cost of the related long-lived asset and subsequently allocated to expense using a systematic and rational method. The Company has recorded an asset retirement obligation at December 31, 2012 and 2011 (Note 6) to reflect its legal obligations related to future abandonment of its oil and gas interests using estimated expected cash flow associated with the obligation and discounting the amount using a credit-adjusted, risk-free interest rate. At least annually, the Company will reassess the obligation to determine whether a change in any estimated obligation is necessary. The Company will evaluate whether there are indicators that suggest the estimated cash flows underlying the obligation have materially changed. Should those indicators suggest the estimated obligation has materially changed the Company will accordingly update its assessment. The asset retirement obligation is measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis using level 3 inputs based on discounted cash flows involving estimates, assumptions, and judgments regarding the cost, timing of settlement, credit-adjusted risk-free rate and inflation rates.

Income Taxes

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences of differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.  If it is determined that the realization of the future tax benefit is not more likely than not, the enterprise establishes a valuation allowance.

Foreign Exchange Translation

The Company's functional currency is the Canadian dollar, but reports its financial statements in US dollars. The Company translates its Canadian dollar balances to US dollars in the following manner:  Assets and liabilities have been translated using the rate of exchange at the balance sheet date.  The Company’s results of operations have been translated using average rates.  Translation gains or losses resulting from the changes in the exchange rates are accumulated as other comprehensive income or loss in a separate component of stockholders' equity.

All amounts included in the accompanying financial statements and footnotes are stated in U.S. dollars.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company reviews the terms of its equity instruments and other financing arrangements to determine whether there are embedded derivative instruments that are required to be accounted for separately as a derivative financial instrument. Also, in connection with the issuance of financing instruments, the Company may issue freestanding options or warrants that may, depending on their terms, be accounted for as derivative instrument liabilities because they are exercisable in a currency other than the functional currency of the Company and thus do not meet the “fixed-for-fixed” criteria of ASC 815-40-15. The Company may also issue options or warrants to employees and non-employees in connection with consulting or other services.

Derivative financial instruments are initially measured at their fair value. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported as charges or credits to income. For option and warrant-based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value the derivative instruments.

The change in the fair value of unvested options issued to non-employees for goods and services which meet the classification of a derivative financial instrument are charged as a compensation expense in consulting fees over the vesting period. Upon vesting, the change in the fair value of vested options to non-employees is charged to consulting fees.

Any exercise or cancellation of an equity instrument which meets the classification of a derivative financial instrument is trued-up to fair value at that date and the fair value of the exercised or cancelled instrument is then re-classed from liability to additional paid in capital.

The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is reassessed at the end of each reporting period. If reclassification is required, the fair value of the derivative instrument, as of the determination date, is reclassified. Any previous charges or credits to income for changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument are not reversed. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

Stock Option Plans

The Company has elected to use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options granted. In accordance with the accounting standard for employees, the compensation expense is amortized on a graded vesting basis over the requisite service period which approximates the vesting period. Compensation expense for stock options granted to non-employees is amortized over the contract services period or, if none exists, from the date of grant until the options vest. Compensation associated with unvested options granted to non-employees is re-measured on each balance sheet date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. For those options to non-employees which meet the classification of a derivative instrument, the instrument will follow the derivative financial instrument policy.

The expected volatility of options granted has been determined using the methods described under the relevant accounting standard. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise, forfeiture and employee termination within the valuation model. For non-employees, the expected term of the options approximates the full term of the options. The risk-free interest rate is based on a treasury instrument whose term is consistent with the expected term of the stock options. The Company has not paid and does not anticipate paying dividends on its common stock; therefore, the expected dividend yield is assumed to be zero. In addition, accounting standard requires companies to utilize an estimated forfeiture rate when calculating the expense for the reporting period. Based on its best estimate, management applied the estimated forfeiture rate of nil in determining the expense recorded in the accompanying Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).

Compensation expense is recognized immediately for past services and pro-rata for future services over the option vesting period.  During 2012, the Company recognized $40,826 (2011 - $3,000 expense; 2010 - $4,775) in stock-based compensation expense in the Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) in respect of options granted to non-employees.  All stock options granted in 2012, 2011 and 2010 were to non-employees of the Company.

The fair value of each option granted is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model on the date of grant. During the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 the following weighted average assumptions were used:

	2012		2011		2010
Dividend yield		0%		0%		0%
Expected volatility		152.6%		106.5%		108.82%
Risk-free rate		1.67%		0.92%		3.11%
Expected life in years		10		9		10

The weighted average grant date fair value per option in 2012 was $0.07 (2011 - $Nil; 2010 – $0.27)

Expected volatilities are calculated using the historical volatility of the Company’s stock. When applicable, the Company will use historical data to estimate option exercise, forfeiture and employees termination within the valuation model. For non-employees, the expected term of the options approximates the full term of the options.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share of Common Stock

Basic earnings (loss) per share of common stock is computed by dividing  net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted earnings per share of common stock reflect the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the Company. Dilutive potential common shares are calculated in accordance with the treasury stock method, which assumes that proceeds from the exercise of all warrants and options are used to repurchase common stock at market value. The amount of shares remaining after the proceeds are exhausted represents the potentially dilutive effect of the securities.  Warrants and options with an exercise price lower than the weighted average share price during the period were determined to be anti-dilutive and excluded from the computation of earnings per share.

At December 31, 2012, the effect of all outstanding options and common stock warrants would have been anti-dilutive, due to the net loss incurred, accordingly only basic earnings per share is presented 2012.

At December 31, 2011 and 2010, potential common shares of 8,657,486 and 7,813,372 respectively, were not included in diluted earnings per share related to stock options and warrants and were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share since their effect was anti-dilutive. See Note 8 for calculation of diluted income per common share.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The book values of cash, GST receivables and accounts payable approximate their respective fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair value hierarchy under GAAP distinguishes between assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and an entity’s own assumptions (unobservable inputs). The hierarchy consists of three levels:

• Level one — Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

• Level two — Inputs other than level one inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable; and

• Level three — Unobservable inputs developed using estimates and assumptions, which are developed by the reporting entity and reflect those assumptions that a market participant would use.

Determining which category an asset or liability falls within the hierarchy requires significant judgment. We evaluate our hierarchy disclosures each quarter. Liabilities measured at fair value are summarized as follows as of:

December 31, 2012 

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Derivative liability	$	–	$	–	$	2,342,989	$	2,342,989
Asset retirement obligation	$	–	$	–	$	138,129	$	138,129

December 31, 2011:

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Derivative liability	$	–	$	–	$	484,777	$	484,777
Asset retirement obligation	$	–	$	–	$	127,688	$	127,688

We currently measure and report the fair value liability for stock options and warrants with a strike price currency different than the functional currency of the Company on a recurring basis. The fair value liabilities for non-employee stock options and warrants have been recorded as determined utilizing the Black-Scholes option pricing model. See Note 4 for further discussion of the inputs used in determining the fair value.

The asset retirement obligation is measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis using level 3 inputs based on discounted cash flows involving estimates, assumptions, and judgments regarding the cost, timing of settlement, credit-adjusted risk-free rate and inflation rates. See Note 6 for further discussion of the inputs used in determining the fair value.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive income (loss) is defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. The Company's items of other comprehensive income (loss) are foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities.

New Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
