This annual report on Form 10-KSB contains predictions, projections and other statements about the future that are intended to be forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (collectively, forward-looking statements). Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. A number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. In assessing forward-looking statements contained in this annual report on Form 10-KSB, readers are urged to read carefully all cautionary statements, including those contained in other sections of this annual report on Form 10-KSB. Among such risks and uncertainties is the risk that we will not complete our proposed business plan, that our management is adequate to carry out our business plan and that there will be adequate capital. Since our co

BUSINESS General We are a start-up corporation organized under the laws of the State of Nevada, on November 18, 2005, for the purpose of purchasing, developing and operating oil and gas leases. We are currently not earning any revenues and are not conducting any business operations, except for the acquisition of one undeveloped oil and gas lease. We do not intend to acquire additional oil and gas leases until we has initiated drilling operations on our existing lease. We have no revenues, have achieved losses since inception, have no operations, have been issued a going concern opinion and rely upon the sale of our securities to fund operations. We have no plans to change our business activities or to combine with another business, and are not aware of any events or circumstances that might cause us to change our plans. Operations Our proposed plans call for us to consider several factors in choosing a region for acquisition of oil and gas leases. First, the Company intends to acquire prospects in Colorado. At the present time, we have acquired three oil and gas leases. We have not targeted any additional oil and gas leases for acquisition. We intend to acquire additional oil and gas leases from other oil and gas companies upon completion of exploration of our current leases. We intend to engage third parties such as a drilling contractor, geologist and engineer to direct the drilling of one well on the lease. As of the date hereof, we have entered into a Well Service and Operating Agreement with DNR Oil & Gas Inc. to service and operate the exploration and drilling of the Mike Prospect. We will determine which leases we are interested in acquiring based upon the analysis of technical and production data, on site verification of any well equipment and production capability, and verification of ownership of lease hold rights. We anticipate that it will take from four to six months to acquire additional leasehold interests after completing our investigation of a proposed prospect. Further, we intend upon diversifying our production portfolio with respect to both reservoir production characteristics and to market access. Production portfolio is comprised of all producing oil and gas leases owned by us. Reservoir production characteristics are the information which defines the nature of the porous, permeable sedimentary rocks which contain commercial quantities of oil or gas. Market access is the demand for the particular grade of oil which is located in a particular reservoir. We believe that
the overall effect of these two unrelated characteristics is to significantly lower the overall risk of our strategy. We do not anticipate acquiring additional leasehold interests during the next twelve months. -4- Geological and Geophysical Techniques We may engage detailed geological interpretation combined with advanced seismic exploration techniques to identify the most promising leases. Geological interpretation is based upon data recovered from existing oil and gas wells in an area and other sources. Such information is either purchased from the company that drilled the wells or becomes public knowledge through state agencies after a period of years. Through analysis of rock types, fossils and the electrical and chemical characteristics of rocks from existing wells, we can construct a picture of rock layers in the area. We will have access to the well logs and decline curves from existing operating wells. Well logs allow us to calculate an original oil or gas volume in place while decline curves from production history allow us to calculate remaining proved producing reserves. We have not purchased, leased, or entered into any agreements to purchase or lease any of the equipment necessary to conduct the geological or geophysical testing referred to herein and will only be able to do so up
on raising additional capital through loans or the sale of equity securities. Market for Oil and Gas Production The market for oil and gas production is regulated by both the state and federal governments. The overall market is mature and with the exception of gas, all producers in a producing region will receive the same price. The major oil companies will purchase all crude oil offered for sale at posted field prices. There are price adjustments for quality difference from the Benchmark. Benchmark is Saudi Arabian light crude oil employed as the standard on which OPEC price changes have been based. Quality variances from Benchmark crude results in lower prices being paid for the variant oil. Oil sales are normally contracted with a purchaser or gatherer as it is known in the industry who will pick-up the oil at the well site. In some instances there may be deductions for transportation from the well head to the sales point. At this time the majority of crude oil purchasers do not charge transportation fees, unless
the well is outside their service area. The service area is a geographical area in which the purchaser of crude oil will not charge a fee for picking upon the oil. The purchaser or oil gatherer as it is called within the oil industry, will usually handle all check disbursements to both the working interest and royalty owners. We will be a working interest owner. By being a working interest owner, we are responsible for the payment of our proportionate share of the operating expenses of the well. Royalty owners and over-riding royalty owners receive a percentage of gross oil production for the particular lease and are not obligated in any manner whatsoever to pay for the costs of operating the lease. Therefore, we, in most instances, will be paying the expenses for the oil and gas revenues paid to the royalty and over-riding royalty interests. Gas sales are by contract. The gas purchaser will pay the well operator 100% of the sales proceeds on or about the 25th of each and every month for the previous months sales. The operator is responsible for all checks and distributions to the working interest and royalty owners. There is no standard price for gas. Prices will fluctuate with the seasons and the general market conditions. It is our intention to utilize this market when ever possible in order to maximize revenues. We do not anticipate any significant change in the manner production is purchased, however, no assurance can be given at this time that such changes will not occur. -5- Acquisition of Future Leases Our principal activity in the future will be the acquisition, development and operation of producing oil and gas leases. The acquisition process may be lengthy because of the amount of investigation which will be required prior to submitting a bid to a major oil company. Currently, we are not engaged in any bidding process. Verification of each property and the overall acquisition process can be divided into three phases, as follows: Phase 1. Field identification. In some instances the seller will have a formal divestiture department that will provide a sales catalog of leases which will be available for sale. Review of the technical filings made to the states along with a review of the regional geological relationships, released well data and the production history for each lease will be utilized. In addition a review of the proprietary technical data in the sellers office will be made and calculation of a bid price for the field. We believe that the estimated cost of Phase 1 for one property will be approximately $5,000. Phase 2. Submission of the Bid. Each bid will be made subject to further verification of production capacity, equipment condition and status, and title. We believe that the estimated cost of Phase 2 for one property will be approximately $50,000. Phase 3. Closing. Final price negotiation will take place. Cash transfer and issuance of title opinions. Tank gauging and execution of transfer orders. The cost of Phase 3 cannot be estimated at this time and is entirely dependent upon negotiations with the seller and the seller's offering price for the property. After closing has occurred, the newly acquired property will be turned over to us for possible work-overs or operational changes which will in our estimation increase each well's production. In connection with the acquisition of an oil and gas lease for work-over operations, we will be able to assume 100% ownership of the working-interest and surface production equipment facilities with only minor expenses. In exchange for an assignment of the lease, we intend to assume the obligation to plug and abandon the well in the event we determine that reworking operations are either too expensive or will not result in production in paying quantities. The cost of plugging a well can run from $500 to $15,000, depending on the condition of the well. Several major oil companies have recently placed numerous oil and gas properties out for competitive bidding. We currently do not have sufficient revenues or funds available for us to make bids on such properties. We have not initiated a search for additional leases and do not intend to do so until we raise additional capital for the acquisition of additional leases. The only money we intend to raise at this time is to conduct drilling operations on the three leases we currently own. We believe that it is not an efficient use of time to search for additional prospects when we do not have sufficient capital to acquire and develop additional leases. We intend to raise additional capital through loans or the sale of equity securities in order to have sufficient funds to make a bid for such properties, but only after we have completed exploration of our three leases. At the present time, we have not identified any specific oil and gas leases which we intend to acquire and will only be able to make such determination upon raising capital at a later date. -6- Our Ownership Interest Currently, we own a 50% working interest, 40% net revenue interest in three non-producing oil and gas leases. The oil and gas leases cover: The NE/4 of Section 23 and all of Section 24, Township 1 South, Range 62 West, 6th Prime Meridian, Adams County, Colorado, containing 800 acres more or less. We acquired our oil and gas lease by assignment from J. Mark Webster, on May 15, 2006. We paid $23,000 for a 100% working interest, 80% net revenue interest in Section 24 and a 50% working interest, 40% net revenue interest in the NE/4 of Section 23. Thereafter we transferred by joint venture agreement, a 25% working interest, 20% net revenue interest in our leases in Section 24 and a 12.5% working interest, 10% net revenue interest in our leases in the NE/4 of Section 23 to DNR Oil & Gas Inc. in consideration of $5,750.00. We also transferred by joint venture agreement, a 25% working interest, 20% net revenue interest in our leases in Section 24 and a 12.5% working interest, 10% net revenue interest in our leases to Colorado Oil & Gas, Inc. in consideration of $5,750.00. The foregoing means with respect to Section 24, that we are responsible for 50% of the expenses of developing and operating the lease, but will only receive 40% of the revenues derived from the sale of the oil and/or gas from the lease. DNR Oil & Gas Inc. is responsible for 25% of the expenses of developing and operating the leases and will receive 20% of the revenues. Colorado Oil & Gas, Inc. is responsible for 25% of the expenses of developing the leases and will receive 20% of the revenues. With respect to the NE/4 of Section 23, it means that we are responsible for 25% of the expenses of developing and operating the lease, but will only receive 20% of the revenues derived from the sale of the oil and/or gas from the lease. DNR Oil & Gas Inc. is responsible for 12.5% of the expenses of developing and operating the leases and will receive 10% of the revenues. Colorado Oil & Gas, Inc. is responsible for 12.5% of the expenses of developing the leases and will receive 10% of the revenues. One half of the minerals have not been leased. Accordingly, at this time, we would not consider any exploration activity on the NE/4 of Section 23. We would only consider exploration activity on the NE/4 of Section 23 in the event we obtained oil and gas leases from mineral owners of the unleased 50% portion of the NE/4 of Section 23. There is no assurance that we will ever be able to obtain the leases an
d accordingly there is no assurance that we will ever conduct any exploration activity on the NE/4 of Section 23. J. Mark Webster retained an overriding royalty of 6% of gross revenues from Section 24 and 7.5% from the NE/4 of Section 23. Linnebur Farms Corporation has a 14% royalty on all of Section 24 and Ivol A. Ferguson, a widow, has a 12.5% royalty on the NE/4 of Section 23. The term of the leases is for a period of three years from July 18, 2005 on Section 24 and three years from August 26, 2005 on the NE/4 of Section 23. The leases may be extended beyond the termination date by producing oil and/or gas in paying quantities. Production in paying quantities requires that the revenues from the lease exceed the expense of operating the lease. We intend to begin drilling operations on Section 24 upon completion of this public offering. Thereafter, we intend to engage a drilling contractor, geologist and engineer to initiate its proposed drilling operations. There is no assurance that any of the foregoing will be acco
mplished by us. -7- Competition The oil and gas industry is highly competitive. Our competitors and potential competitors include major oil companies and independent producers of varying sizes of which are engaged in the acquisition of producing properties and the exploration and development of prospects. Most of our competitors have greater financial, personnel and other resources than does We and therefore have a greater leverage to use in acquiring prospects, hiring personnel and marketing oil and gas. Accordingly, a high degree of competition in these areas is expected to continue. Governmental Regulation The production and sale of oil and gas is subject to regulation by state, federal and local authorities. In most areas there are statutory provisions regulating the production of oil and natural gas under which administrative agencies may set allowable rates of production and promulgate rules in connection with the operation and production of such wells, ascertain and determine the reasonable market demand of oil and gas, and adjust allowable rates with respect thereto The sale of liquid hydrocarbons was subject to federal regulation under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975 which amended various acts, including the Emergency Petroleum Allocation Act of 1973. These regulations and controls included mandatory restrictions upon the prices at which most domestic crude oil and various petroleum products could be sold. All price controls and restrictions on the sale of crude oil at the wellhead have been withdrawn. It is possible, however, that such controls may be reimposed in the future but when, if ever, such reimposition might occur and the effect thereof on We cannot be predicted. The sale of certain categories of natural gas in interstate commerce is subject to regulation under the Natural Gas Act and the Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978 ("NGPA"). Under the NGPA, a comprehensive set of statutory ceiling prices applies to all first sales of natural gas unless the gas is specifically exempt from regulation (i.e., unless the gas is "deregulated"). Administration and enforcement of the NGPA ceiling prices are delegated to the FERC. In June 1986, the FERC issued Order No. 451, which, in general, is designed to provide a higher NGPA ceiling price for certain vintages of old gas. It is possible, though unlikely, that We may in the future acquire significant amounts of natural gas subject to NGPA price regulations and/or FERC Order No. 451. Our operations are subject to extensive and continually changing regulation because legislation affecting the oil and natural gas industry is under constant review for amendment and expansion. Many departments and agencies, both federal and state, are authorized by statute to issue and have issued rules and regulations binding on the oil and natural gas industry and its individual participants. The failure to comply with such rules and regulations can result in large penalties. The regulatory burden on this industry increases our cost of doing business and, therefore, affects our profitability. However, we do not believe that we are affected in a significantly different way by these regulations than our competitors are affected. -8- Transportation and Production Transportation and Sale of Oil and Natural Gas. We can make sales of oil, natural gas and condensate at market prices which are not subject to price controls at this time. The price that we receive from the sale of these products is affected by our ability to transport and the cost of transporting these products to market. Under applicable laws, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC") regulates: - the construction of natural gas pipeline facilities, and Our possible future sales of natural gas are affected by the availability, terms and cost of pipeline transportation. The price and terms for access to pipeline transportation remain subject to extensive federal and state regulation. Several major regulatory changes have been implemented by Congress and the FERC from 1985 to the present. These changes affect the economics of natural gas production, transportation and sales. In addition, the FERC is continually proposing and implementing new rules and regulations affecting these segments of the natural gas industry that remain subject to the FERC's jurisdiction. The most notable of these are natural gas transmission companies. The FERC's more recent proposals may affect the availability of interruptible transportation service on interstate pipelines. These initiatives may also affect the intrastate transportation of gas in some cases. The stated purpose of many of these regulatory changes is to promote competition among the various sectors of the natural gas industry. These initiatives generally reflect more light-handed regulation of the natural gas industry. The ultimate impact of the complex rules and regulations issued by the FERC since 1985 cannot be predicted. In addition, some aspects of these regulatory developments have not become final but are still pending judicial and FERC final decisions. We cannot predict what further action the FERC will take on these matters. However, We do not believe that any action taken will affect it much differently than it will affect other natural gas producers, gatherers and marketers wit
h which We might compete against. Effective as of January 1, 1995, the FERC implemented regulations establishing an indexing system for transportation rates for oil. These regulations could increase the cost of transporting oil to the purchaser. We do not believe that these regulations will affect it any differently than other oil producers and marketers with which it competes with. Regulation of Drilling and Production. Our proposed drilling and production operations are subject to regulation under a wide range of state and federal statutes, rules, orders and regulations. Among other matters, these statutes and regulations govern: - the amounts and types of substances and materials that may be released into the environment, -9- and require: Colorado law contains: Environmental Regulations General. Our operations are affected by the various state, local and federal environmental laws and regulations, including the: these laws and regulations govern the discharge of materials into the environment or the disposal of waste materials, or otherwise relate to the protection of the environment. In particular, the following activities are subject to stringent environmental regulations: Violations are subject to reporting requirements, civil penalties and criminal sanctions. As with the industry generally, compliance with existing regulations increases our overall cost of business. The increased costs cannot be easily determined. Such areas affected include: -10- Environmental regulations historically have been subject to frequent change by regulatory authorities. Therefore, we are unable to predict the ongoing cost of compliance with these laws and regulations or the future impact of such regulations on its operations. However, We do not believe that changes to these regulations will have a significant negative affect on its operations. A discharge of hydrocarbons or hazardous substances into the environment could subject us to substantial expense, including both the cost to comply with applicable regulations pertaining to the clean up of releases of hazardous substances into the environment and claims by neighboring landowners and other third parties for personal injury and property damage. We do not maintain insurance for protection against certain types of environmental liabilities. The Clean Air Act requires or will require most industrial operations in the United States to incur capital expenditures in order to meet air emission control standards developed by the EPA and state environmental agencies. Although no assurances can be given, We believes the Clean Air Act requirements will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. RCRA is the principal federal statute governing the treatment, storage and disposal of hazardous wastes. RCRA imposes stringent operating requirements, and liability for failure to meet such requirements, on a person who is either: At present, RCRA includes a statutory exemption that allows oil and natural gas exploration and production wastes to be classified as non-hazardous waste. As a result, We will not be subject to many of RCRA's requirements because its operations will probably generate minimal quantities of hazardous wastes. CERCLA, also known as "Superfund", imposes liability, without regard to fault or the legality of the original act, on certain classes of persons that contributed to the release of a "hazardous substance" into the environment. These persons include: CERCLA also authorizes the EPA and, in some instances, third parties to act in response to threats to the public health or the environment and to seek to recover from the responsible classes of persons the costs they incur. In the course of our ordinary operations, We could generate waste that may fall within CERCLA's definition of a "hazardous substance". As a result, We may be liable under CERCLA or under analogous state laws for all or part of the costs required to clean up sites at which such wastes have been disposed. -11- Under such law we could be required to: We could also be subject to other damage claims by governmental authorities or third parties related to such contamination. While the foregoing regulations appear extensive, we believes that because it will initially be drilling and operating one oil or gas well, compliance with the foregoing regulations will not have any material adverse affect upon We. Further, We believes it will only spend minimal amounts of money to comply therewith in connection with its one proposed well. Company's Office Our offices are located at 17790 E. Purdue Place, Aurora, Colorado 80013, and our telephone number is (303) 618-2855. This is the home of John Herzog, one of our officers and directors. We use the space on a rent free basis from Mr. Herzog as well as equipment including computers, office computer programs, fax machines, small copy machines, a scanner, telephones, desks, files and fixtures. Mr. Herzog donates the space and office equipment to us. Employees We intend to use the services of subcontractors for manual labor exploration work on our properties. Employees and Employment Agreements At present, we have no full-time employees. Our two officers and directors are part-time employees and each will devote about 10% of their time or four hours per week to our operation. Our officers and directors do not have employment agreements with us. We presently do not have pension, health, annuity, insurance, stock options, profit sharing or similar benefit plans; however, we may adopt plans in the future. There are presently no personal benefits available to our officers and directors. Our officers and directors will handle our administrative duties. Risk Factors 1. The Volatility of Oil and Gas Markets may have an adverse affect on our operations. In the past few years, the price of oil and gas has been volatile. During the last five years the price of oil has fluctuated from a low of approximately $11 per barrel to a high of approximately $78 per barrel. The price of gas has fluctuated from a low of approximately $1.80 per 1,000 cubic feet to a high of approximately $9 per 1,000 cubic feet. At the present time the price of oil is near $73.50 per barrel. The price of natural gas is near $9 per 1,000 cubic feet. There is no assurance that in the future prices for oil and gas production will stabilize at current rates. This fluctuation could have an adverse affect on our operations if it should drop. -12- 2. Title to our oil and gas leases could be defective in which case we may not own the interests that we believe we do. It is customary in the oil and gas industry that upon acquiring an interest in a property, that only a preliminary title investigation be done at that time. We intend to follow this custom. If the title to the prospects should prove to be defective, we could lose the costs of acquisition, or incur substantial costs for curative title work. 3. If we find gas our wells could be shut-in and revenues could be curtailed. Production from gas wells in many geographic areas of the United States has been curtailed or shut-in for considerable periods of time due to a lack of market demand, and such curtailments may continue for a considerable period of time in the future. There may be an excess supply of gas in areas where our operations will be conducted. In such event, it is possible that there will be no market or a very limited market for our gas production. It is customary in many portions of Colorado to shut-in gas wells in the spring and summer when there is not sufficient demand for gas. This could result in suspension of revenues. 4. Operating and environmental hazards could have a negative impact on our operations. Hazards incident to the operation of oil and gas properties, such as accidental leakage of petroleum liquids and other unforeseen conditions, may be encountered by us if we participate in developing a well and, on occasion, substantial liabilities to third parties or governmental entities may be incurred. We could be subject to liability for pollution and other damages or may lose substantial portions of prospects or producing properties due to hazards which cannot be insured against or which have not been insured against due to prohibitive premium costs or for other reasons. We currently do not maintain any insurance for environmental damages. Governmental regulations relating to environmental matters could also increase the cost of doing business or require alteration or cessation of operations in certain areas. 5. Because the probability of an individual prospect ever having oil and gas is extremely remote any funds spent on exploration will probably be lost. The probability of an individual prospect ever having oil and gas is extremely remote. In all probability the property does not contain any oil and gas. As such, any funds spent on exploration will probably be lost which result in a loss of your investment. 6. Because our auditors have issued a going concern opinion, there is substantial uncertainty we will continue operations in which case you could lose your investment. Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion. This means that there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an ongoing business for the next twelve months. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the uncertainty about our ability to continue in business. As such we may have to cease operations and you could lose your investment. Further, we have not considered and will not consider any activity beyond our current exploration program until we have completed our exploration program. -13- 7. We lack an operating history, have never had any revenues, have no current prospects for future revenues, and have losses which we expect to continue into the future. As a result, we may have to suspend or cease operations. We were incorporated in November 2005 and we have not started our proposed business operations or realized any revenues. We have no operating history upon which an evaluation of our future success or failure can be made. Our net loss since inception is $35,625 to us in the form of a loan. The loan is unsecured, payable on demand and bears interest at 6.0% per annum. As at May 31, 2007, we incurred interest expense under this loan of $2,611 (May 31, 2006 - $473). As at May 31, 2007, Mr. Berry advanced us other sums for working capital, with all loans, accrued interest and advances totaling $38,734. The loss was a result of the issuance of stock and, incorporation, legal and accounting. We have never had any historical revenues and we do not have any current prospects for future revenues. Our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow is dependent upon our ability to locate oil and gas our ability to generate revenues from the sale of oil and gas our ability to reduce exploration costs. Based upon current plans, we expect to incur operating losses in future periods. This will happen because there are expenses associated with the research and exploration of our properties. As a result, we may not generate revenues in the future. Failure to generate revenues will cause us to suspend or cease operations. Further, we have not considered and will not consider any activity beyond our current exploration program until we have completed our exploration program. 8. Because our management does not have technical training or experience in exploring for, starting, and operating an exploration program, we will have to hire qualified personnel. Consequently our operations, earnings and ultimate financial success could suffer irreparable harm due to management's lack of experience in this industry. As a result we may have to suspend or cease operations which will result in the loss of your investment. Because our management is inexperienced with exploring for, starting, and operating an exploration program, we will have to hire qualified persons. Our management has no direct training or experience in these areas and as a result may not be fully aware of many of the specific requirements related to working within the industry. Management's decisions and choices may not take into account standard engineering or managerial approaches to oil and gas exploration. Consequently our operations, earnings and ultimate financial success could suffer irreparable harm due to management's lack of experience in this industry. As a result we may have to suspend or cease operations which will result in the loss of your investment. Further, we have not considered and will not consider any activity beyond our current exploration program until we have completed our exploration program. 9. Because our officers and directors have no formal training in financial accounting and management , and they are responsible for our managerial and organizational structure, in the future, there may not be effective disclosure and accounting controls to comply with applicable laws and regulations which could result in fines, penalties and assessments against us. -14- We have two officers and directors. They have no formal training in financial accounting and management, however, they are responsible for our managerial and organizational structure which will include preparation of disclosure and accounting controls under the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002. While they have no formal training in financial accounting matters, they have been preparing the financial statements that have been audited and reviewed by our auditors and included in this prospectus. When the disclosure and accounting controls referred to above are implemented, they will be responsible for the administration of them. Should they not have sufficient experience, they may be incapable of creating and implementing the controls which may cause us to be subject to sanctions and fines by the SEC which ultimately could cause you to lose your investment, however, because of the small size of our expected operati
ons, we believe that they will be able to monitor the controls they will have created and will be accurate in assembling and providing information to investors. Further, we have not considered and will not consider any activity beyond our current exploration program until we have completed our exploration program. 10. Because we are small and do not have much capital, we may have to limit our drilling activity which may result in a loss of your investment. Because we are small and do not have much capital, we must limit our drilling activity. As such we may not be able to complete a drilling program that is as thorough as we would like. Further, we have not considered and will not consider any activity beyond our current drilling program until we have completed our first well. 11. Because our officers and directors have other outside business activities and each will only be devoting 10% of their time or approximately four hours per week to our operations, our operations may be sporadic which may result in periodic interruptions or suspensions of exploration. Because our officers and directors have other outside business activities and will each will only be devoting 10% of their time or four hours per week to our operations, our operations may be sporadic and occur at times which are convenient to them. As a result, exploration of the property may be periodically interrupted or suspended. 12. Our officers and directors own more than 50% of the outstanding shares, they are able to decide who will be directors and you may not be able to elect any directors. Our officers and directors own 5,000,000 shares and control us. As a result, our officers and directors are able to elect all of our directors and control our operations. We do not own any property. We only have the right to explore one property, title of which is not vested in our name. We are not presently a party to any litigation. -15- ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS During the fourth quarter, there were no matters submitted to a vote of our shareholders. ITEM 5. MARKET FOR COMMON STOCK AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS A limited market exists for our securities. There is no assurance that our limited market will develop into a regular trading market, or if developed, that it will be sustained. A shareholder in all likelihood, therefore, will be unable to resell the securities referred to herein should he or she desire to do so. Furthermore, it is unlikely that a lending institution will accept our securities as pledged collateral for loans unless a regular trading market develops. Our company's securities are traded over-the-counter on the Bulletin Board operated by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. under the symbol ACGCA. Our shares were listed for trading on July 20, 2007. At August 21, 2007, there have been no trades of our shares. Holders At August 21, 2007, we had 33 shareholders of record of our common stock, including shares held by brokerage clearing houses, depositories or otherwise in unregistered form. We have no outstanding options or warrants, or other securities convertible into, common equity. Of the 6,004,000 shares of common stock outstanding as of August 21, 2007, 5,000,000 shares were issued to one of our officers and directors, and may only be resold in compliance with Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, with the exception of the one year holding period contained therein, and 32 holders of 1,004,000 free trading shares of common stock. Status of our public offering On August 9, 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission declared our Form SB-2 Registration Statement effective, file number 333-136017, permitting us to offer up to 2,000,000 shares of common stock at $0.10 per share. There was no underwriter involved in our public offering. On April 12, 2007, we completed our public offering by raising $100,400. We sold 1,004,000 shares of our common stock at an offering price of $0.10 per share to thirty-two persons. -16- Use of Proceeds On April 12, 2007 we completed our public offering and raised $100,400 by selling 1,004,000 shares of common stock at an offering price of $0.10 per share. Since then we have used the proceeds as follows: Dividend Policy We have never paid cash dividends on our capital stock. We currently intend to retain any profits we earn to finance the growth and development of our business. We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Our company's shares are covered by Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended that imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouses). For transactions covered by the Rule, the broker/dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchase and have received the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction prior to the sale. Consequently, the Rule may affect the ability of broker/dealers to sell our securities and also may affect your ability to sell your shares in the secondary market. Section 15(g) also imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell penny securities. These rules require a one page summary of certain essential items. The items include the risk of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary marketing; terms important to in understanding of the function of the penny stock market, such as "bid" and "offer" quotes, a dealers "spread" and broker/dealer compensation; the broker/dealer compensation, the broker/dealers duties to its customers, including the disclosures required by any other penny stock disclosure rules; the customers rights and remedies in causes of fraud in penny stock transactions; and, the NASD's toll free telephone number and the central number of the North American Administrators Association, for information on the disciplinary history of broker/dealers and their associated persons. Securities authorized for issuance under equity compensation plans We have no equity compensation plans and accordingly we have no shares authorized for issuance under an equity compensation plan. Section 16(a) We are not currently subject to Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. -17- ITEM 6. PLAN OF OPERATIONS This section of the report includes a number of forward-looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. Forward-looking statements are often identified by words like: believe, expect, estimate, anticipate, intend, project and similar expressions, or words which, by their nature, refer to future events. You should not place undue certainty on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this report. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or our predictions. Plan of Operation We are a start-up, exploration stage corporation and have not yet generated or realized any revenues from our business operations. An exploration stage corporation is one engaged in the search for oil and gas reserves which are not in either the development or production stage. Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion. This means that there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an on-going business for the next twelve months unless we obtain additional capital to pay our bills. This is because we have not generated any revenues and no revenues are anticipated until we begin selling oil and gas. Accordingly, we must raise cash from sources other than the sale of oil and gas found on the property, if at all. Our only other source for cash at this time is investments by others in our company or development of revenue by selling oil and gas. We must continue to raise cash to implement our project and stay in business. We raised $100,400. which will allow us to drill our "Mike Prospect" located in North-Central Adams County, Colorado, approximately 40 miles Northwest of Denver. The Mike Prospect consists of two leases (east-half and west-half) covering all of section 24,
640 acres m/l,T1S,R62W, Adams County, Colorado and provides for an 80% net revenue interest. Cobra Oil & Gas Company owns 50% of a working interest in the Mike Prospect and DNR Oil & Gas Inc. and Colorado Oil & Gas Inc. each own a 25% working interest. We have entered into a Well Service and Operating Agreement with DNR to service and operate the exploration and drilling of the Mike Prospect and DNR has applied for drilling permits from the State of Colorado. DNR will be contacting drilling companies and negotiating for a drilling rig, once a drilling rig has been secured and is on location we will drill the Mike Prospect. One half of the cost of drilling will be paid by DNR Oil & Gas Inc. and Colorado Oil & Gas, Inc. If we find oil and gas, we will begin selling the oil and gas and proceed to raise additional capital to drill more wells. If we do not find oil and gas, we intend to find a new property and raise additional funds to drill thereon. We have not targeted any additional proper
ties and do not intend to do so, until we complete exploration of our current three leases. Since we do not know what we will find under the ground, we cannot tell you if we will be successful. Our success or failure will be determined by what we find under the ground. We will be conducting research in the form of drilling on the property. Our exploration program is explained in as much detail as possible in the business section of this prospectus. We are not going to buy or sell any plant or significant equipment during the next twelve months other than casing, pipe, a pump jack, and tanks. Casing and pipe will be purchased with the proceeds of this offering. A pump jack and tanks will be purchased only if we strike oil. A pump jack and tanks are unnecessary if we find gas. If we are unable to complete drilling one well on the property, we will suspend operations until we raise more money. If we can't or don't raise more money, we will cease operations. If we cease operations, we don't know what we will do and we don't have any plans to do anything. -18- We do not intend to hire additional employees at this time. All of the work on the property will be conduct by unaffiliated independent contractors that we will hire. The independent contractors will be responsible for drilling one well. In the event we complete our exploration program prior to the end of one year, and it is anticipated we will do so as reflected in the milestones that follow, if we find oil and/or gas, we will spend the balance of the year creating a program for development of the property. If we do not find oil and/or gas on the property, we attempt to locate a new property, raise additional money, and explore the new property. Operations to Date We have completed our public offering by raising $100,400. and have entered into a Well Service and Operating Agreement with DNR Oil & Gas Inc. to service and operate the exploration and drilling of the Mike Prospect. We have applied for drilling permits from the State of Colorado, which we expect to have in place within 30 to 45 days. Milestones The following are our milestones: DNR Oil & Gas Inc. will be contacting drilling companies and negotiating for a drilling rig, which we expect to have in place within 45- 200 days. Once a drilling rig has been secured and is on location we will drill the Mike Prospect, which we expect will be within 200-260 days. We will drill one or two wells on the property, each to a maximum depth of 6,000 feet. Drilling will cost approximately $23.50 per foot. One half of the cost of drilling will be paid by DNR Oil & Gas Inc. and Colorado Oil & Gas Inc. - Cost $70,500. After completing drilling within 260-365 days we will either begin production and raise additional capital to drill other wells on the property or if oil and/ or gas is not found, target a new property and raise additional capital to explore the new property. The cost of the subcontractors is included in cost of drilling. Limited Operating History; Need for Additional Capital There is no historical financial information about us upon which to base an evaluation of our performance. We are an exploration stage corporation and have not generated any revenues from operations. We cannot guarantee we will be successful in our business operations. Our business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including limited capital resources, possible delays in the exploration of the property, and possible cost overruns due to price and cost increases in services. -19- To become profitable and competitive, we must find oil and/or gas in paying quantities. We completed our public offering on April 12, 2007 by issuing 1,004,000 shares of common stock at $0.10 per share to 32 shareholders raising $100,400. We have no assurance that future financing will be available to us on acceptable terms. If financing is not available on satisfactory terms, we may be unable to continue, develop or expand our operations. Equity financing could result in additional dilution to existing shareholders. Results of Operations We will be drilling one or two wells on the property once a drilling rig has been secured and is on location. Since inception, Doug Berry, one of our officers and directors has paid all our expenses to acquire our oil and gas leases and for legal and accounting expenses. Net cash provided by Mr. Berry from inception on November 18, 2005 to May 31, 2007 is $35,625 to us in the form of a loan. The loan is unsecured, payable on demand and bears interest at 6.0% per annum. As at May 31, 2007, we incurred interest expense under this loan of $2,611 (May 31, 2006 - $473). As at May 31, 2007, Mr. Berry advanced us other sums for working capital, with all loans, accrued interest and advances totaling $38,734.. Of the monies advanced by Mr. Berry will be repaid to him from revenues generated from the sale of oil and/or gas. Liquidity and Capital Resources We have completed our public offering as of April 12, 2007 and to date have raised $100,400. We will use the money to drill the Mike Prospect and to pay for items set forth in the Use of Proceeds section. If we find oil and/or gas, we will attempt to raise additional money through a subsequent private placement, public offering or through loans to drill additional wells on the property. To do so, we will have to find alternative sources, like a second public offering, a private placement of securities, or loans from our officers or others. As of the date hereof, we have acquired three oil and gas leases, but have not generated any revenues from our business operations. We issued 5,000,000 shares of common stock on November 30, 2005, pursuant to Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933. This was accounted for as a purchase of shares of common stock, in consideration of $50.00 in cash. On April 12, we issued 1,004,000 shares of common stock under a Form SB-2 offering at $0.10 per share for total proceeds of $100,400. As of May 31, 2007, our total current assets were $101,250 and our total current liabilities were $54,034. -20- PART III ITEM 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. COBRA OIL & GAS COMPANY -21- RONALD R. CHADWICK, P.C. REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM I have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Cobra Oil and Gas Company, an exploration stage company, as of May 31, 2007 and 2006 and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and for the period from November 18, 2005 (inception) through May 31, 2007. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on my audit. I conducted my audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that I plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. 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. I believe that my audit provides a reasonable basis for my opinion. In my opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Cobra Oil and Gas Company as of May 31, 2007 and 2006 and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and for the period from November 18, 2005 (inception) through May 31, 2007 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 7 to the financial statements the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 7. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. -22- The accompanying notes are an integral part of the financial statements. -23- The accompanying notes are an integral part of the financial statements. -24- The accompanying notes are an integral part of the financial statements. -25- (Continued On Following Page) The accompanying notes are an integral part of the financial statements. -26- The accompanying notes are an integral part of the financial statements. -27- COBRA OIL & GAS COMPANY Cobra Oil & Gas Company (the "Company"), was incorporated in the State of Nevada on November 18, 2005. The Company was formed to engage in identifying, investigating, exploring, and, where determined advantageous, developing, mining, refining, and marketing oil and gas. The Company may also engage in any other business permitted by law, as designated by the Board of Directors of the Company. Exploration Stage The Company is currently in the exploration stage and has no significant operations to date. Cash and cash equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less as cash equivalents. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Income tax The Company accounts for income taxes under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 ("SFAS 109"). Under SFAS 109 deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. Fiscal year The Company employs a fiscal year ending May 31. F-7 -28- COBRA OIL & GAS COMPANY Net income (loss) per share The net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common outstanding. Warrants, stock options, and common stock issuable upon the conversion of the Company's preferred stock (if any), are not included in the computation if the effect would be anti-dilutive and would increase the earnings or decrease loss per share. Revenue recognition Revenue is recognized on an accrual basis as earned under contract terms. The Company has had no revenue to date. Oil and gas interests The company follows the full-cost method of accounting for oil and natural gas properties. Under this method, all costs incurred in the exploration, acquisition, and development, including unproductive wells, are capitalized in separate cost centers for each country. Such capitalized costs include contract and concessions acquisition, geological, geophysical, and other exploration work, drilling, completing and equipping oil and gas wells, constructing production facilities and pipelines, and other related costs. The capitalized costs of oil and gas properties in each cost center are amortized on a composite units of production method based on future gross revenues from proved reserves. Sales or other dispositions of oil and gas properties are normally accounted for as adjustments of capitalized costs. Gain or loss is not recognized in income unless a significant portion of a cost center's reserves is involved. Capitalized costs associated with acquisition and evaluation of unproved properties are excluded from amortization until it is determined whether proved reserves can be assigned to such properties or until the value of the properties is impaired. If the net capitalized costs of oil and gas properties in a cost center exceed an amount equal to the sum of the present value of estimated future net revenues from proved oil and gas reserves in the cost center and the lower of cost or fair value of properties not being amortized, both adjust
ed for income tax effects, such excess is charged to expense. Since the company has not produced any oil or gas, a provision for depletion has not been made. F- 8 -29- COBRA OIL & GAS COMPANY Financial Instruments The carrying value of the Company's financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, as reported in the accompanying balance sheet, approximates fair value. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, "Inventory Costs (An Amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4)". SFAS 151 amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage). The Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 151 which are effective in general for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The adoption did not have a material effect on the results of operations of the Company. In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 152, "Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing Transactions (An Amendment of FASB Statements No. 66 and 67)". SFAS 152 amends FASB 66 and 67 to reference the accounting and reporting guidance for real estate time-sharing transactions provided for in AICPA Statement of Position 04-2. of The Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 152 which are effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The adoption did not have a material effect on the results of operations of the Company. In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, "Exchange of Nonmonetary Assets (An Amendment of APB No. 29)". SFAS 153 amends Opinion 29 to eliminate the fair value accounting exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets, and replaces that exception with a general exception for nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. The Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 153 which are effective in general for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The adoption did not have a material effect on the results of operations of the Company. In March 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment". SFAS 123(r) requires that the cost resulting from all share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements. The Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123(r) which are effective in general for transactions entered into or modified after June 15, 2005. The adoption did not have a material effect on the results of operations of the Company. F-9 -30- COBRA OIL & GAS COMPANY In May 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 154, "Accounting Changes and Error Corrections - A Replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and SFAS No. 3". SFAS 154 changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle and applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle. It also applies to changes required by an accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions. SFAS 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods' financial statements of changes in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. The provisions of SFAS No. 154 are effective for accounting changes and correction of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have
a material effect on the Company's results of operations or financial position. In 2006, the FASB has issued SFAS No. 155 "Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments - an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140" and No. 156 "Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets -an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140", but they will not have a material effect in the Company's results of operations or financial position. Therefore, a description and its impact for each on the Company's operations and financial position have not been disclosed. In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation Number 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes -an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109." This Interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." This Interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The company is currently assessing the effect of this Interpretation on its financial statements. In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measures". This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), expands disclosures about fair value measurements, and applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements. However, the FASB anticipates that for some entities, the application of SFAS No. 157 will change current practice. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, which for the Company would be the fiscal year beginning February 1, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 157 but does not expect that it will have a material impact on its financial statements. F-10 -31- COBRA OIL & GAS COMPANY In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, "Employers' Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans." This Statement requires an employer to recognize the over funded or under funded status of a defined benefit post retirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position, and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income. SFAS No. 158 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006 which for the Company would be February 1, 2007. The Company does not expect that the implementation of SFAS No. 158 will have any material impact on its financial position and results of operations. In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 108, "Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements." SAB No. 108 addresses how the effects of prior year uncorrected misstatements should be considered when quantifying misstatements in current year financial statements. SAB No. 108 requires companies to quantify misstatements using a balance sheet and income statement approach and to evaluate whether either approach results in quantifying an error that is material in light of relevant quantitative and qualitative factors. SAB No. 108 is effective for periods ending after November 15, 2006 which for the Company would be February 1, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SAB No. 108 but does not expect that it will have a material effect on its financial statements. In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities". This Statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently assessing the impact of SFAS No. 159 on its financial position and results of operations. F-11 -32- COBRA OIL & GAS COMPANY During the period ended May 31, 2006, the Company entered into an "Assignment and Quit Claim of Oil and Gas Leases" agreement (the "Agreement") with Mark Webster (the "Assignor") whereby the assignor assigned 100 % of assignor's right title and interest in and to the leasehold estate in the oil and gas leases located in Adams County, Colorado for a cash payment of $23,000. According to the Agreement the assignor conveyed 100% of 8/8ths working interest with an 80.00% of 8/8ths net revenue interest to the Company with assignor reserving and retaining an overriding royalty interest equal to the difference between 80.00% of 8/8ths net revenue interest and any existing burdens, said overriding royalty interest in all oil, gas casing head gas and other hydrocarbon substances produced, saved and marketed under the terms of the leases or any extensions thereof. During the period ended May 31, 2006, the Company assigned 50% of its interest i
n the oil and gas leases for cash payments totalling $11,500 as follows: DNR Oil & Gas Inc. - 25%; and NOTE 3. CAPITAL STOCK The total number of common shares authorized that may be issued by the Company is 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.00001 per share and 100,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.00001 per share, and no other class of shares is authorized. During the period from November 18, 2005 (Inception) to May 31, 2007, the Company issued 6,004,000 shares of common stock for total proceeds of $100,450. To May 31, 2007, the Company has not granted any stock options and has not recorded any stock-based compensation.

Total rent expense under this arrangement was $1,200. The Company also recorded compensation expense of $300 per month ($1,800 total) for administrative and management services donated to the Company by one of the officers. During the year ended May 31, 2007 the Company recorded rent expense of $2,400 and compensation expense of $3,600. During the period ended May 31, 2006, one of the Company's officers advanced $35,625 to the Company under a loan payable. The loan is unsecured, payable on demand and bears interest at 6.0% per annum. As at May 31, 2007, the Company incurred interest expense under this loan of $2,611 (May 31, 2006 - $473). As at May 31, 2007, the officer advanced the Company other sums for working capital, with all loans, accrued interest and advances totaling $38,734. NOTE 5. INCOME TAXES Potential benefits of income tax losses are not recognized in the accounts until realization is more likely than not. The Company has incurred net operating losses of $43,234 which commence expiring in 2027. Pursuant to SFAS No. 109 the Company is required to compute tax asset benefits for net operating losses carried forward. Potential benefit of net operating losses have not been recognized in these financial statements because the Company cannot be assured it is more likely than not it will utilize the net operating losses carried forward in future years. The components of the net deferred tax asset at May 31, 2007, and 2006 and the statutory tax rate, the effective tax rate and the elected amount of the valuation allowance are indicated below: F-13 -34- COBRA OIL & GAS COMPANY Capitalized costs at May 31, 2007 relating to the Company's oil and gas activities are as follows: The Company has suffered losses from operations and has a working capital deficit. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company may raise additional capital through the sale of its equity securities, through offerings of debt securities, or through borrowings from financial institutions. In addition, the Company hopes to generate revenues from finding and producing oil and gas on its lease properties. F-14 -35- ITEM 8.

Conflicts of Interest At the present time, we do not foresee a conflict of interest because we do not intend to acquire any additional properties and our officers and directors do not intend to acquire any additional properties. The only conflict that we foresee is the time our officers and directors devote to other projects that do not involve us. In the event that either one of our officers and directors cease devoting time to our operations, they have agreed to resign as an officer and director. Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings Other than as described in this section, to our knowledge, during the past five years, no present or former director or executive officer of our company: (1) filed a petition under the federal bankruptcy laws or any state insolvency law, nor had a receiver, fiscal agent or similar officer appointed by a court for the business or present of such a person, or any partnership in which he was a general partner at or within two yeas before the time of such filing, or any corporation or business association of which he was an executive officer within two years before the time of such filing; (2) was convicted in a criminal proceeding or named subject of a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses); (3) was the subject of any order, judgment or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoini
ng him from or otherwise limiting the following activities: (i) acting as a futures commission merchant, introducing broker, commodity trading advisor, commodity pool operator, floor broker, leverage transaction merchant, associated person of any of the -37- foregoing, or as an investment advisor, underwriter, broker or dealer in securities, or as an affiliated person, director of any investment company, or engaging in or continuing any conduct or practice in connection with such activity; (ii) engaging in any type of business practice; (iii) engaging in any activity in connection with the purchase or sale of any security or commodity or in connection with any violation of federal or state securities laws or federal commodity laws; (4) was the subject of any order, judgment or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any federal or state authority barring, suspending or otherwise limiting for more than 60 days the right of such person to engage in any activity described above under this Item, or to be associated with persons engaged in any such activity; (5) was found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a civil action or by the Securities and Exchange Commission to ha
ve violated any federal or state securities law and the judgment in subsequently reversed, suspended or vacate; (6) was found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a civil action or by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated any federal commodities law, and the judgment in such civil action or finding by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission has not been subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated. Audit Committee and Charter We have a separately-designated audit committee of the board. Audit committee functions are performed by our board of directors. None of our directors are deemed independent. All directors also hold positions as our officers. Our audit committee is responsible for: (1) selection and oversight of our independent accountant; (2) establishing procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints regarding accounting, internal controls and auditing matters; (3) establishing procedures for the confidential, anonymous submission by our employees of concerns regarding accounting and auditing matters; (4) engaging outside advisors; and, (5) funding for the outside auditory and any outside advisors engagement by the audit committee. A copy of our audit committee charter is filed as an exhibit to this report. Audit Committee Financial Expert None of our directors or officers have the qualifications or experience to be considered a financial expert. We believe the cost related to retaining a financial expert at this time is prohibitive. Further, because of our limited operations, we believe the services of a financial expert are not warranted. Code of Ethics We have adopted a corporate code of ethics. We believe our code of ethics is reasonably designed to deter wrongdoing and promote honest and ethical conduct; provide full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in public reports; comply with applicable laws; ensure prompt internal reporting of code violations; and provide accountability for adherence to the code. A copy of the code of ethics is attached hereto. -38- Disclosure Committee and Charter We have a disclosure committee and disclosure committee charter. Our disclosure committee is comprised of all of our officers and directors. The purpose of the committee is to provide assistance to the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer in fulfilling their responsibilities regarding the identification and disclosure of material information about us and the accuracy, completeness and timeliness of our financial reports. A copy of the code of ethics is attached hereto. Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 As of the date of this report, we are not subject to section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The following table sets forth the compensation paid by us from inception on November 18, 2005 through May 31, 2006. The compensation addresses all compensation awarded to, earned by, or paid the to our named executive officers for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2006. This information includes the dollar value of base salaries, bonus awards and number of stock options granted, and certain other compensation, if any. -39- The following table sets forth information with respect to compensation paid by us to our directors during the last completed fiscal year. Our fiscal year end is May 31. We do not plan to pay any compensation to our officers or directors in 2008. We will not begin paying our officers compensation until we have adequate funds to do so. There are no other stock option plans, retirement, pension, or profit sharing plans for the benefit of our officers and directors other than as described herein. Long-Term Incentive Plan Awards We do not have any long-term incentive plans that provide compensation intended to serve as incentive for performance. Indemnification Under our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the corporation, we may indemnify an officer or director who is made a party to any proceeding, including a law suit, because of his position, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in our best interest. We may advance expenses incurred in defending a proceeding. To the extent that the officer or director is successful on the merits in a proceeding as to which he is to be indemnified, we must indemnify him against all expenses incurred, including attorney's fees. With respect to a derivative action, indemnity may be made only for expenses actually and reasonably incurred in defending the proceeding, and if the officer or director is judged liable, only by a court order. The indemnification is intended to be to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Nevada. Regarding indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, which may be permitted to directors or officers under Nevada law, we are informed that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, indemnification is against public policy, as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. -40- ITEM 11. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT The following table sets forth, as of the date of this report, the total number of shares owned beneficially by each of our directors, officers and key employees, individually and as a group, and the present owners of 5% or more of our total outstanding shares. The table also reflects what their ownership will be assuming completion of the sale of all shares in our public offering . The stockholder listed below has direct ownership of his shares and possesses sole voting and dispositive power with respect to the shares. The stockholder listed below has direct ownership of his shares and possesses sole voting and dispositive power with respect to the shares. Future Sales by Existing Stockholders On November 30, 2005, Doug Berry, one of our officers and directors, acquired 5,000,000 shares of our common stock. The 5,000,000 shares of common stock are restricted securities, as defined in Rule 144 of the Rules and Regulations of the SEC promulgated under the Securities Act. Under Rule 144, the shares can be publicly sold, subject to volume restrictions and restrictions on the manner of sale, commencing one year after their acquisition. Rule 144 provides that a person may not sell more than 1% of the total outstanding shares in any three month period and the sales must be sold either in a brokers' transaction or in a transaction directly with a market maker. A total of 5,000,000 shares of our stock are currently owned by Doug Berry, one of our officers and directors. He will likely sell a portion of his stock if the market price goes above $0.10. If he does sell his stock into the market, the sales may cause the market price of the stock to drop. Further, Mr. Berry may also sell at price levels below $0.10 per share. -41- Because Mr. Berry, one of our officers and directors, and principal shareholder will control us, your ability to cause a change in the course of our operations is eliminated. As such, the value attributable to the right to vote is gone. This could result in a reduction in value to the shares you own because of the ineffective voting power. No common stock is subject to outstanding options, warrants or securities convertible into common stock. Our officers and directors have not received and will not receive anything of value, directly or indirectly, from us and we have not received and will not receive any assets, services or other consideration from them other than as described below. On November 30, 2005, we issued a total of 5,000,000 shares of restricted common stock to Doug Berry, one of our officers and directors, in consideration of $50.00. This was accounted for as an acquisition of common stock. From November 2005 through May 2007, Mr. Berry advanced on our behalf $35,625 to us in the form of a loan. The loan is unsecured, payable on demand and bears interest at 6.0% per annum. As at May 31, 2007, we incurred interest expense under this loan of $2,611 (May 31, 2006 - $473). As at May 31, 2007, Mr. Berry advanced us other sums for working capital, with all loans, accrued interest and advances totaling $38,734. to pay for the cost of purchasing the leases, legal fees and accounting fees connected with this offering. Messrs. Berry and Herzog are our only promoters. They have not received or will they receive anything of value from us, directly or indirectly in their capacities as a promoters. -42- PART IV ITEM 13.

CODE OF ETHICS
1. |
STATEMENT OF POLICY |
The Company has adopted eight Corporate Values (Focus, Respect, Excellence, Accountability, Teamwork, Integrity, Very Open Communications and Enjoying Our Work) to provide a framework for all employees in conducting ourselves in our jobs. These policies are not intended to substitute for those Values, but will serve as guidelines in helping you to conduct the Company's business in accordance with our Values. Compliance requires meeting the spirit, as well as the literal meaning, of the law, the policies and the Values. It is expected that you will use common sense, good judgment, high ethical standards and integrity in all your business dealings. |
|
If you encounter a situation you are not able to resolve by reference to these policies, ask for help. Contact Doug Berry, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, who has been identified as responsible for overseeing compliance with these policies. |
|
Violations of the law or the Company's policies will subject employees to disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment. In addition, individuals involved may subject themselves and the Company to severe penalties including fines and possible imprisonment. Compliance with the law and high ethical standards in the conduct of Company business should be a top priority for each employee, officer and director. |
|
2. |
IMPLEMENTATION AND ENFORCEMENT. |
Mr Berry has been appointed as Compliance Officer of the Company, responsible for overseeing compliance with, and enforcement of, all Company policies. |
-1-
Employees are expected to be familiar with these policies as they apply to their duties. They should consult with their managers if they need assistance in understanding or interpreting these policies. Each employee is required to follow these policies and to comply with their terms. A refusal by any employee to agree to be bound by these policies shall be grounds for discipline up to and including dismissal. |
|
Any employee who, in good faith, has reason to believe a Company operation or activity is in violation of the law or of these policies must call the matter to the attention of Mr. Berry, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. All reports will be reviewed and investigated and as necessary under the circumstances, and the reporting employee should provide sufficient information to enable a complete investigation to be undertaken. |
|
Any employee who makes an allegation in good faith reasonably believing that a person has violated these policies or the law, will be protected against retaliation. |
|
3. |
RELATIONS WITH COMPETITORS AND OTHER THIRD PARTIES. |
The Company's policy is to comply fully with competition and antitrust laws throughout the world. These laws generally prohibit companies from using illegal means to maintain, obtain or attempt to obtain a monopoly in a market. They also prohibit companies from engaging in unfair trade practices. "Unfair trade practices" include fixing prices, dividing markets, agreeing with competitors not to compete, or agreeing to boycott certain customers. It is advised that you consult with the Chairman, Mr. Berry before attending a meeting with a party who may be viewed as a competitor. |
|
4. |
INSIDER TRADING, SECURITIES COMPLIANCE AND PUBLIC STATEMENTS. |
Securities laws prohibit anyone who is in possession of material, non-public information ("Insider Information") about a company from purchasing or selling stock of that company, or communicating the information to others. Information is considered "material" if a reasonable investor would consider it to be important in making a decision to buy or sell that stock. Some examples include financial results and projections, new products, acquisitions, major new contracts or alliances prior to the time that they are publicly announced. Employees who become aware of such Inside Information about the Company must refrain from trading in the shares of the Company until the Inside Information is publicly announced. |
|
Employees must also refrain from disclosing that information to persons who do not have a Company need to know, whether they are inside the Company or outside, such as spouses, relatives or friends. |
|
The Company makes regular formal disclosures of its financial performance and results of operations to the investment community. We also regularly issue press releases. Other than those public statements, which go through official Company channels, employees are prohibited from communicating outside the Company about the Company's business, financial performance or future prospects. Such communications include questions from securities analysts, reporters or other news media, but also include seemingly innocent discussions with family, friends, neighbors or acquaintances. |
-2-
5. |
FINANCIAL REPORTING. |
The Company is required to maintain a variety of records for purposes of reporting to the government. The Company requires all employees to maintain full compliance with applicable laws and regulations requiring that its books of account and records be accurately maintained. Specifics of these requirements are available from Mr. Berry. |
|
6. |
HUMAN RESOURCES. |
The Company is committed to providing a work environment that is free from unlawful harassment and discrimination, and respects the dignity of its employees. The Company has policies covering various aspects of its relationship with its employees, as well as employees' relationships with each other. For more detailed information, you should consult Mr. Berry. Each employee is expected to be familiar with these policies and to abide by them. |
|
7. |
ENVIRONMENTAL, HEALTH AND SAFETY. |
The Company is committed to protecting the health and safety of our employees, as well as the environment in general. The Company expects employees to obey all laws and regulations designed to protect the environment, and the health and safety of our employees, and to obtain and fully observe all permits necessary to do business. |
|
At the very least, all employees should be familiar with and comply with safety regulations applicable to their work areas. The Company will make, to the extent possible, reasonable accommodations for the known physical or mental limitations of our employees. Employees who require an accommodation should contact our Chairman. The Company will then engage in an interactive process to determine what reasonable accommodations may exist. |
|
8. |
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST. |
Each employee is expected to avoid any activity, investment or association that interferes with the independent exercise of his or her judgment in the Company's best interests ("Conflicts of Interest"). Conflicts of Interest can arise in many situations. They occur most often in cases where the employee or the employee's family obtains some personal benefit at the expense of the Company's best interests. |
|
No employee, or any member of employee's immediate family, shall accept money, gifts of other than nominal value, unusual entertainment, loans, or any other preferential treatment from any customer or supplier of the Company where any obligation may be incurred or implied on the giver or the receiver or where the intent is to prejudice the recipient in favor of the provider. Likewise, no employee shall give money, gifts of other than nominal value, unusual entertainment or preferential treatment to any customer or supplier of the Company, or any employee or family members thereof, where any obligation might be incurred or implied, or where the intent is to prejudice the recipient in favor of the Company. No such persons shall solicit or accept kickbacks, whether in the form of money, goods, services or otherwise, as a means of influencing or rewarding any decision or action taken by a foreign or domestic vendor, customer, business partner, government employee or other person whose position may affect the Company's business. |
-3-
No employee shall use Company property, services, equipment or business for personal gain or benefit. |
|
Employees may not: (1) act on behalf of, or own a substantial interest in, any company or firm that does business, or competes, with the Company; (2) conduct business on behalf of the Company with any company or firm in which the employee or a family member has a substantial interest or affiliation. Exceptions require advance written approval from the Legal Department. |
|
Employees should not create the appearance that they are personally benefitting in any outside endeavor as a result of their employment by the Company, or that the Company is benefitting by reason of their outside interests. Any employee who is not sure whether a proposed action would present a conflict of interest or appear unethical should consult with Mr. Berry. |
|
9. |
INTERNATIONAL TRADE. |
The Company must comply with a variety of laws around the world regarding its activities. In some cases, the law prohibits the disclosure of information, whether the disclosure occurs within the U.S. or elsewhere, and whether or not the disclosure is in writing. |
|
Payments or gifts to non-U.S. government officials are prohibited by law and by Company policy. The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act precludes payments to non-U.S. government officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business, even if the payment is customary in that country. This law applies anywhere in the world to U.S. citizens, nationals, residents, businesses or employees of U.S. businesses. Because Cobra Oil & Gas Company is a U.S. company, this law applies to the Company and all of its subsidiaries. Any questions on this policy should be directed to Mr. Berry. |
|
10. |
GOVERNMENT RELATIONS. |
The Company is prohibited by law from making any contributions or expenditures in connection with any U.S. national election. This includes virtually any activity that furnishes something of value to an election campaign for a federal office. Use of the Company's name in supporting any political position or ballot measure, or in seeking the assistance of any elected representative, requires the specific approval of Mr. Berry. Political contributions or expenditures are not to be made out of Company funds in any foreign country, even if permitted by local law, without the consent of the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. |
|
U.S. law also prohibits giving, offering, or promising anything of value to any public official in the U.S. or any foreign country to influence any official act, or to cause an official to commit or omit any act in violation of his or her lawful duty. Company employees are expected to comply with these laws. |
|
11. |
VENDORS, CONTRACTORS, CONSULTANTS AND TEMPORARY WORKERS. |
Vendors, contractors, consultants or temporary workers who are acting on the Company's behalf, or on Company property, are expected to follow the law, Company policies and honor Company Values. Violations will subject the person or firm to sanctions up to and including loss of the contract, contracting or consulting agreement, or discharge from temporary assignment. |
-4-
12. |
CONCLUSION. |
This Code of Ethics is not intended to cover every possible situation in which you may find yourself. It is meant to give you the boundaries within which the Company expects you to conduct yourself while representing Cobra Oil & Gas Company. You may find yourself in a situation where there is no clear guidance given by this Code of Ethics. If that occurs, return to the foundations stated earlier: common sense, good judgment, high ethical standards and integrity. And refer to the Company's Values. In addition, there are many resources upon which you may rely: your management chain, Human Resources, Legal or other Cobra Oil & Gas Company departments, and the CEO. Together we can continue to make Cobra Oil & Gas Company a company that sets a standard for oil & gas exploration. |
