D. RISK FACTORS

This section describes some of the risks and uncertainties faced by us. The factors below should be considered in connection with any forward looking statements in this Annual Report. The risk factors described below are considered to be the significant or material ones, but they are not the only risks faced by us.

The Company Faces Competition.

The oil and gas industry is highly competitive. We experience competition in all aspects of our business, including searching for, developing and acquiring reserves, obtaining pipeline and processing capacity, leases, licenses and concessions, and obtaining the equipment and labor needed to conduct operations and market crude oil and natural gas. Our competitors include multinational energy companies, other independent crude oil and natural gas concerns and individual producers and operators. We have limited financial and other resources.  Many competitors have financial and other resources substantially greater than those available to us and, accordingly, may be better positioned to acquire and exploit prospects, hire personnel and market production. In addition, many of our larger competitors may be better able to respond to factors such as changes in worldwide crude oil and natural gas prices, levels of production, the cost and availability of alternative fuels or the application of government regulations. We expect a high degree of competition to continue.

Government Regulation and Environmental Matters may Adversely Affect the Company

We are subject to various federal and state laws and regulations, including environmental laws and regulations in each jurisdiction in which we operate. As we are in the drilling industry, government regulation is much greater than that of many other industries.  We believe that we are in compliance with such laws and regulations. Such laws and regulations may change in the future in a manner that will increase the burden and cost of compliance. In addition, we could incur significant liability for damages, clean up costs and penalties in the event of certain discharges into the environment. Certain laws and governmental regulations may impose liability on us for personal injuries, clean-up costs, environmental damages and property damages, as well as administrative, civil and criminal penalties. We believe that cost of compliance with environmental regulations will not have an adverse effect on our operations or earnings, risks of costs and liabilities are inherent in oil and gas operations, and there can be no assurance that significant costs and liabilities, including criminal penalties, will not be incurred. Moreover, it is possible that other developments, such as stricter environmental laws and regulations, and claims for damages for injuries to property or persons resulting from our operations could result in costs and liabilities. Some of the regulations that apply to us in the United States, where we have field operations, include the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act and comparable state statutes, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, the Clean Air Act, the Occupational Safety and Health Act and comparable state statutes, the Oil Pollution Act 1990, the Water Pollution Control Act of 1972, the Safe Drinking Water Act and the Toxic Substances Control Act. We are unable to estimate the costs to be incurred for compliance with environmental laws over the next twelve months.  Management believes all such costs will be those ordinarily and customarily incurred in the development and production of oil and gas and that no unusual costs will be encountered.

Exploration and Production Regulations may Limit Petro Horizon’s Expansion and Growth.

Our operations in the United States are subject to various types of regulation at the federal, state and local levels. Such regulations include requiring permits for the drilling of wells, maintaining bonding requirements in order to drill or operate wells and regulating the location of wells, the method of drilling and casing wells, the surface use and restoration of properties upon which wells are drilled, the plugging and abandoning of wells and the disposal of fluids used or obtained in connection with operations. Our operations are also subject to various conservation regulations. These include the regulation of the size of drilling and spacing units and the density of wells that may be drilled and the unitization or pooling of oil and gas properties. In addition, certain state conservation laws may establish maximum rates of production from oil and gas wells, generally prohibit the venting or flaring of gas and impose certain requirements regarding the ratability of production. The effect of these regulations is to limit the amount of oil and gas which can be produced from wells in which we hold interest and may limit the number of wells or the locations at which wells can be drilled. The extent of any impact on our operations of such restrictions cannot be predicted.

International Operations may Complicate Petro Horizon’s Gov’t., Environmental and Regulatory Compliance.

We are actively pursuing oil and gas opportunities in several foreign countries. International crude oil and natural gas exploration, development and production activities are subject to political and economic uncertainties (including but not limited to changes, sometimes frequent or material, in governmental energy policies or the personnel administering them), expropriation of property, cancellation or modification of contract rights, foreign exchange restrictions, currency fluctuations, royalty and tax increases, limits on allowable levels of production and other risks arising out of foreign governmental sovereignty over the areas in which our operations will be conducted, as well as risks of loss due to civil strife, terrorism, acts of war and insurrection. These risks may be higher in developing countries in which we may conduct such activities. Our international operations may also be adversely affected by laws and policies of Canada or the United States affecting foreign trade, taxation and investment. Consequently, our international exploration, development and production activities may be affected by factors beyond our control, any of which could materially adversely affect our financial position or results of operations. Furthermore, in the event of a dispute arising from international operations, we may be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of courts outside the United States or Canada or may not be successful in subjecting persons to the jurisdictions of the courts in the United States or Canada, which could adversely affect the outcome of such dispute.

Dependence on Key Personnel may Limit Petro Horizon’s Growth.

As we have only a few employees, we depend to a large extent on the services of Christopher J. Wensley, our President, Patrick Forseille, our CFO and Ron Bourgeois, corporate secretary. The loss of the services of any of these individuals could have a potential adverse effect on our operations.

Ability to Attract Competent Personnel may Hamper Petro Horizon’s Growth.

Recent commodity price fluctuations have effected oil and gas exploration activities worldwide, with a possible rise in demand for competent oil and gas professionals. We are a small company and must compete with larger, better capitalized companies for competent personnel.

Concentration of Producing Properties may Cause Delays or Interruptions.

Our crude oil and natural gas production is presently concentrated in two properties in Texas, United States: the Funk Lease and Waverly Prospect. We will be vulnerable to a disproportionate impact of delays or interruptions of production until we develop a more diversified production base. Once we have more producing properties, a disruption in one property will have less of an impact on our overall production. In addition, we are not the operator of the Waverly prospect. As such, our plans, commitments and obligations are dependent on the operator's plans and on how well the operator executes such plans.

Insurance and Uninsured Risk to Petro Horizon’s Assets and Operations.

Our business is subject to a number of risks and hazards, including the risk of fire, explosions, equipment failure, abnormally pressured formations, environmental hazards, industrial accidents, changes in the regulatory environment, labor disputes, the occurrence of any of which could result in  losses to us due to injury or loss of life, severe damage to or destruction of property, natural resources and equipment, pollution or other environmental damage, clean-up responsibilities, regulatory investigation and penalties and suspension of operations. Our insurance will not cover all the potential risks associated with an oil and gas company's operations. We may also be unable to maintain insurance to cover these risks at economically feasible premiums. Insurance coverage may not be available or may not be adequate to cover any resulting liability. There are risks against which we cannot insure or against which we may elect not to insure. We, and the operators of our properties, maintain insurance in amounts that we believe to be reasonable. The occurrence of a significant event that is not fully insured could have an adverse effect on our results of operation and our financial condition.

Commodity Price Fluctuations may Affect Profitability or Production.

Our revenues and profitability are dependent upon prevailing prices for crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids. For much of the past decade, the markets for crude oil and natural gas have been extremely volatile. These markets are expected to continue to be volatile in the foreseeable future. In general, future prices of crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids are dependent upon numerous external factors such as various economic, political and regulatory developments and competition from other sources of energy. The unsettled nature of the energy market and the unpredictability of worldwide political developments, including, for example, the Iraq war and the actions of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries members, make it particularly difficult to estimate future prices of crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids.

Exploration Risks may Limit Petro Horizon’s Success.

Our results of operations are heavily dependent on how successful we are in the exploration for crude oil and natural gas. Exploration activities involve more risk than development or exploitation activities. Exploratory drilling is a speculative activity. The use of three-dimensional seismic data and other advanced technologies may increase the probability of success of exploratory wells, and reduce the average finding costs through the elimination of prospects that might otherwise be drilled solely on the basis of two-dimensional seismic data and other traditional methods. Even when fully utilized and properly interpreted, three-dimensional seismic data and visualization techniques only assist geoscientists in identifying subsurface structures and hydrocarbon indicators and do not conclusively allow the interpreter to know if hydrocarbons will in fact be present, or present in economic quantities, in such structures. Failure of our exploration activities would have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

Operating Risks to Property, Equipment and Operations.

The oil and gas industry involves a variety of operating risks, including the risk of fire, explosion, blowout, pipe failure, casing collapse, stuck tools, abnormally pressured formations and environmental hazards such as oil spills, gas leaks, pipeline ruptures and discharges of toxic gases, the occurrence of any of which could result in losses to us due to injury and loss of life, loss of or damage to well bores and/or drilling or production equipment, costs of overcoming down hole problems, severe damage to and destruction of property, natural resources and equipment, pollution and other environmental damage, clean-up responsibilities, regulatory investigation and penalties and suspension of operations. Gathering systems and processing facilities are subject to many of the same hazards and any significant problems related to those facilities could adversely affect our ability to market our production. Moreover, offshore operations are subject to a variety of operating risks peculiar to the marine environment, such as hurricanes or other adverse weather conditions. The occurrence of a significant event not fully insured or indemnified against could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

 
8

 

Shortage of Supplies and Equipment may Limit or Reduce Production.

Our ability to conduct operations in a timely and cost effective manner is subject to the availability of crude oil and natural gas field supplies, rigs, equipment and service crews. There presently exists a general tightening of supplies, equipment and personnel available to conduct operations in a timely manner. As we may not receive priority in ordering and shipping over other companies who may place larger and more frequent orders, we anticipate this shortage of certain types of supplies and equipment will result in delays in our operations as well as in higher operating and capital costs.

Capital Requirements may Limit Petro Horizon’s Growth.

We will be required to make capital expenditures to develop reserves and to discover new crude oil and natural gas reserves. If our cash and cashflow from operating activities is insufficient to fund such additional expenditures, we may be required to sell equity, issue debt, sell properties or offer interests in the properties to be earned by another party or parties carrying out further exploration or development thereof. There can be no assurance that capital will be available to us from any source or that, if available, it will be at prices or on terms acceptable to us. Should sufficient capital not be available, the development and exploration of our properties could be delayed and, accordingly, the implementation of our business strategy would be adversely affected. If we are unable to meet our share of costs incurred under agreements to which we are a party, our interest in the properties subject to such agreements may be reduced.

Replacement of Reserves may Reduce Future Production.

Producing oil and natural gas reservoirs generally are characterized by declining production rates that vary depending upon reservoir characteristics and other factors. Our future success depends upon our ability to find, develop and/or acquire crude oil and natural gas reserves at prices that permit profitable operations. Except to the extent that we conduct successful development, exploitation or exploration activities or acquire properties containing proved reserves, our proved reserves will decline.

Estimates of Reserves and Related Data may Prove Inaccurate.

Numerous uncertainties are inherent in estimating quantities of proved and other reserves of oil and gas and in projecting future rates of production and timing of development expenditures, including many factors beyond the control of the producer. The reserve data presented in this Annual Report represents only estimates based on available geological, geophysical, production and engineering data, the extent, quality and reliability of which vary. Oil and gas reserve engineering is a subjective process of estimating accumulations of oil and gas that cannot be measured in an exact manner, and estimates of other engineers might differ materially from those shown.

Additional Capital Contributions Could Result in Dilution to Existing Shareholders.

We do not know if we will be able to generate material revenue from oil and gas operations. Historically, the primary source of funds available to us has been through the sale of our equity securities. Any future additional equity financing could cause dilution to current stockholders.

Limited and Volatile Trading Volume may Limit Stock Resale Ability.

Our shares trade on the TSX Venture Exchange, the volume of trading has been limited and volatile in the past and is likely to continue to be so in the future, making it difficult for investors to readily sell their shares in the open market. Without a liquid market for the our shares, investors may be unable to sell their shares at favorable times and prices and may be required to hold their shares in declining markets or to sell them at unfavorable prices. Our shares do not trade on an established market in the United States and we cannot make any assurances that our shares will ever trade in such a market, or if they do so trade, that a United States market for our shares will be sustained.

Volatility of Share Price may Limit Stock Resale Value.

The market price of many resource companies, particularly resource exploration companies like us, have experienced wide fluctuations in price, resulting in losses to investors who have sold their shares at a low price point. These fluctuations are based only in part on the level of progress of exploration, and can reflect general economic and market trends, world events or investor sentiment, and may sometimes bear no apparent relation to any objective factors or criteria. Significant fluctuation in our share price is likely to continue, and could potentially increase, in the future.

The Company Does not Intend to Issue Dividends.

No dividends on our common shares have been paid to date. We currently plan to retain all future earnings and other cash resources, if any, for the future operation and development of our business. Payment of future dividends, if any, will be at the discretion of our board of directors after taking into account many factors, including our operating results, financial condition, and current and anticipated cash needs.

Future Sales of Common Shares by Existing Shareholders may Limit Stock Resale Ability and Price.

Sales of a large number of our common shares in the public markets, or the potential for such sales, could decrease the trading price of the common shares and could impair our ability to raise capital through future sales of common shares.

Incorporation in Canada may Cause Difficulty for U.S. Investors to Effect Service of Process.

We are incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada. Consequently, it will be difficult for United States investors to effect service of process in the United States upon our directors or officers, or to realize in the United States upon judgments of United States' courts predicated upon civil liabilities under the Exchange Act. All of our directors are residents of Canada, and a significant portion of our assets are located outside of the United States. A judgment of a United States court predicated solely upon such civil liabilities would probably be enforceable in Canada by a Canadian court if the United States court in which the judgment was obtained had jurisdiction, as determined by the Canadian court, in the matter. There is doubt whether an original action could be brought successfully in Canada against any of such persons or us predicated solely upon such civil liabilities.

Conflicts of Interest may Hamper Officer and Director Effectiveness.

There may be potential conflicts of interest for certain of our officers and directors who are or may become engaged from time to time in the crude oil and natural gas business on their own behalf or on behalf of other companies with which they may serve in the capacity as directors or officers. Certain of our independent directors are officers and/or directors of other publicly traded crude oil and natural gas exploration and production companies.

Clear Title to Properties is subject to many factors.

Title to oil and gas properties is subject to royalty, overriding royalty, carried, net profits, working and other similar interests and contractual arrangements, to liens for current taxes not yet due and to other encumbrances. Only cursory investigation of record title is made at the time of acquisition. Drilling title opinions are usually prepared before commencement of drilling operations. The Company has no basis to believe that such will occur and there can be no assurance that our title to oil and gas properties may not be challenged through legal proceedings.

DEVELOPMENT OF OUR BUSINESS. We are in the business of exploring, developing and producing crude oil and natural gas properties.

STEWART LEASE. During the 2005 fiscal year, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Horizon Industries U.S.A. Ltd. acquired 544 acres composed of two contiguous 272 acre leases in Goliad County, Texas expiring between January 12, and July 5, 2008.

The Stewart prospect is within the Jobar field, which was discovered by Edge Petroleum in late 1997 with production from the middle Yegua formation between 5,300 and 5,500 feet. To date, there are 9 wells in the Jobar field with cumulative gas production of 5.9 Bcf of gas. The average initial production for the wells in the field has been 1.8Mmcf per day to a maximum of 5 Mmcf per day from the Swickheimer #2 well. The closest well to the Stewart lease is the V. Albrecht #1 well, which is located 900 feet east of the lease. Total production from this well is 650 Mmcf with an initial production rate of 1.85Mmcf per day.  The Company has not entitlement to this property and the locality of the property does not assure it will experience similar recoveries.

The Jobar field appears to be a series of isolated bar deposits trending in a north-east/south-west direction. Some faulting may have occurred between the bars. The average area of the individual bar is approximately 40 acres. The Jobar field was discovered using seismic amplitude analysis. 2D Seismic over the Stewart lease indicates the existence of at least three and up to five untested sand bars.  Even when properly interpreted, seismic data and visualization techniques are not conclusive in determining if hydrocarbons are present in economically producible amounts.  Horizon has purchased a 3D data set over this prospect to further refine these targets prior to drilling.

During 2006, the Company completed drilling of the 5,700 foot Stewart #1 well at the Stewart East Prospect. The well was put online in February 2006 and produced uneconomic quantities of gas.  The well was subsequently shut in.

During 2006, the Company acquired all deeper rights on the Stewart lease in Goliad County, TX. Recently gas and condensate was discovered by Chesapeake Energy Corporation in 2003 in the Marshall Field in the Middle Wilcox formation, which is located approximately 1.5 miles north of the Stewart lease.

Preliminary interpretation shows several defined structural targets comprising approximately 200 acres in the Wilcox formation situated within the Stewart West acreage. The target appears consistent with other successful Wilcox wells in the immediate vicinity.  Even when properly interpreted, seismic data and visualization techniques are not conclusive in determining if hydrocarbons are present in economically producible amounts.

There are currently several producing Wilcox wells within one half mile of the Stewart leases. The Etoco Heard #1 well located one half mile due North, came on line in February of 2005 having an initial production rate of 8.9 Million Cubic Feet Per Day (MMCF/ D). This well produced a cumulative 2/26BCF of gas plus 47,300 Bbl of condensate to date. The Chesapeake Eichman #1 Well, situated less than one half mile North West of Horizon's Stewart leases, came on line in April 2005 having an initial production rate of 21MMCF/D. The well has produced a cumulative 3.5BCF of gas plus 45,000 Bbls of condensate. The Chesapeake Hawkins Deep #1 well located 1,000 feet due west of Horizon's Stewart leases has produced a cumulative 2.9 BCF and 33,000 barrels of condensate. The Hawkins Deep #2 located directly south of the Hawkins Deep #1 has produced .9 BCF and 10,000 barrels of condensate.  The Company has not entitlement to this property and the locality of the property does not assure it will experience similar recoveries.

During the current fiscal year the leases lapsed and all costs were written off to operations.

WHATLEY PROSPECT. The Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Horizon Industries, U.S.A. Ltd. owns a 9% working interest in the Whatley #1 Development Prospect, in the Spartan Field, San Patricio County, Texas.  The Whatley #1 well is located on a 312 acre lease in the Spartan Field, San Patricio County Texas. The Spartan Field was discovered in the 1940's by 2D seismic exploration. The Company paid approximately US$192,000 for its ownership share of a development well on the property which was drilled in September 2004. The well was put online in January 2005 and since that time, several zones have been perforated tested and flowed to sales with limited production. During the previous fiscal year, the well was abandoned and the prospect was written off.

WAVERLY PROSPECT.  During fiscal 2007, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Horizon Industries U.S.A. Ltd. entered into a Joint Venture agreement to participate with Pan American Development Company, Inc. in a drilling program in San Jacinto County, Texas, approximately 50 miles north of Houston Texas. The Company acquired a 25% working interest in the initial phase of the prospect with an option to acquire up to 37.5% working interest in the balance of the prospect currently comprising a total of 3,100 acres (75% net revenue interest).

The initial phase calls for the development of 400 acres of Jackson sands at a depth of approximately 2,800 feet.  The acreage may also host a second gas charged Jackson sand at approximately 3,100 feet based on logs from nearby wells.  Well log indications of hydrocarbon saturation do not assure productivity and that the locality of your property does not assure it will experience similarities in well log response. No reserves have been assigned to this stratigraphic trap, but the sand has produced gas in several wells in the immediate area.  There is geological evidence for an additional 40 location on existing leasehold and the possibility for even more (up to 80) potential locations if the geologic model associated with this prospect is accurate.

An initial test well was drilled in June 2007 and perforation and flow testing of the first of several primary zones of interest as identified by logs and side wall cores was completed.  Four feet of perforations were shot in this first zone.  The well was flow tested for 2 hours each on a 6/64ths choke, an 8/64ths choke and for 4 hours on a 10/64ths choke.  The well flowed at stable rates of 264 MCF, 461 MCF and 611 MCF dry gas per day respectively, with stabilized flowing tubing pressures of 1,135 PSI, 1,120 PSI and 1,080 PSI respectively.  The well flowed approximately 100 MMCFPD until it watered out in October 2008.  No further production was obtained from the well.

The Hammond #1 well is the first of up to five wells proposed to be drilled on the initial 400 acre phase of the New Waverly prospect.

FUNK LEASE.  During the fiscal 2007, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Horizon Industries U.S.A. Ltd., acquired a 100% working interest in the Funk property consisting of two oil and gas leases totaling 400 acres located in Goliad County, Texas.  The leases expire on March 31, 2009.  The property is situated in the prolific Middle Yegua gas trend which has produced gas and condensate in the nearby Naetze Yegua, Perdido Creek and Jobar fields.

The Company has acquired 3D data covering Funk and surrounding lands to further define and identify prospective targets on the lease previously defined by 2d seismic data.  Analysis and interpretation of the 3d data has identified several prospective targets throughout the property. Even when properly interpreted, seismic data and visualization techniques are not conclusive in determining if hydrocarbons are present in economically producible amounts.

The Perdido Creek field, discovered in 1985 is located one and one half miles northeast of the Funk Prospect.  Perdido Creek hosts seven producing wells with cumulative production from Yega sands of approximately 3-4 Bcf of gas and 80,000 bbl. of oil and condensate.  The most prolific well in Perdido Creek, the Vrazel #1 produced 1.8 BCF together with 3,000 barrels of oil and condensate from a 90' sand covering 36 acres.  The Company has not entitlement to this property and the locality of the property does not assure it will experience similar recoveries.  These Yegua sands appear to be similar to that underlying the Funk Prospect which hosts 2D defined Yegua sand bodies of 35 to 50 acres in aerial extent.  Even when properly interpreted, seismic data and visualization techniques are not conclusive in determining if hydrocarbons are present in economically producible amounts.

During fiscal 2006, the Company drilled the Horizon Funk #1 well to a total depth of 2,530 feet.  Logs were completed indicating fifteen feet of pay extending from a depth of 2,018 feet to 2,033 feet.  On August 22, 2006, a four foot interval was perforated between 2,020 feet and 2,024 feet.  The Funk #1 well is currently shut in after producing minor amounts of gas from various zones.

During the previous year, the Horizon Funk #2 well was drilled cased and completed at a depth of 6,060 feet.  Log results showed four highly prospective pay zones in the well in the Yegua, Cook and Frio formations.  The Funk #2 well was perforated in August 2007 and put to sales at that time.   It is currently producing at approximately 100 MCF/D as of August 2009.

B. BUSINESS OVERVIEW

Nature of Our Operations. Our principal business is acquiring, exploring and developing crude oil and natural gas properties. In the United States, we are currently acquiring, exploring or developing crude oil and natural gas properties located in Texas. We intend to continue to pursue the acquisition of crude oil and natural gas properties and pursue strategic opportunities to buy or sell assets or otherwise contract with other companies in our industry.

Our success will depend on whether we are able to locate and successfully negotiate for crude oil and natural gas opportunities in countries which meet our criteria and then successfully develop and produce crude oil and natural gas in those countries. Our success will also depend on how well our prospects in the United States perform. All of our production is currently from properties located in the United States.

In the United States, we will continue to acquire properties where we can exploit lower-risk missed pay, increased density and behind casing reserves by using modern technologies: three dimensional seismic data, cased hole logging, under balanced drilling, horizontal drilling and fracture stimulation.

Principal Markets. As of February 28, 2009, we operate in one reportable segment, the exploration for and the development and production of crude oil and natural gas.

Seasonality. Seasonality has no material effect on our financial condition or results of operations. However, our crude oil and natural gas exploration and development activities may be timed to meet seasonal conditions.

Marketing Channels. Crude oil production is sold under market sensitive or spot price contracts. Natural gas production is sold to purchasers under varying percentage-of-proceeds and percentage-of-index contracts or by direct marketing to end users or aggregators. By the terms of the percentage-of-proceeds contracts, we receive a percentage of the resale price paid to the purchaser for sales of residue gas and natural gas liquids recovered after gathering and processing the natural gas. The residue gas and natural gas liquids sold by these purchasers are sold primarily based on spot market prices. The revenue from the sale of natural gas liquids is included in natural gas sales.

Material Effects of Governmental Regulations. Government regulations have a material effect on us to the extent that they require us to conduct field operations and hydrocarbon extraction activities according to prescribed environmentally-safe, sensitive regulations. Also, government regulations may restrict the commencement or re-commencement of field activities in certain properties in which we hold an interest for the purpose of exploration. Examples of types of governmental laws and regulations that may have a material effect on our business include:

 
·
requirements to acquire permits before commencing drilling operations;
 
·
requirements to restrict the substances that can be released into the environment in connection with drilling and production activities;
 
·
limitations on, or prohibitions to, drilling in protected areas such as wildlife preserves; and
 
·
requirements to mitigate and remediate the effects caused by drilling and production operations.

C. ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE

Estimated Reserves of Crude Oil and Natural Gas. As a Canadian issuer, we are required under Canadian law to comply with National Instrument 51-101 "Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities" (NI 51-101) implemented by the members of the Canadian Securities Administrators in all of our reserves related disclosures. Under NI 51-101, proved reserves are those reserves that can be estimated with a high degree of certainty to be recoverable. Reported proved reserves should target, under a specific set of economic conditions, at least a 90% probability that the quantities of oil and natural gas actually recovered will equal or exceed the estimated proved reserves.

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. Proved reserves estimated and reported below pursuant to NI 51-101 also meet the definition of estimated proved reserves required to be disclosed under Rule 4-10(a) of Regulation S-X. The crude oil and natural gas industry commonly applies a conversion factor to production and estimated proved reserve volumes of natural gas in order to determine an "all commodity equivalency" referred to as barrels of oil equivalent ("boe"). The conversion factor we have applied in this Annual Report is the current convention used by many oil and gas companies, where six thousand cubic feet ("mcf") of natural gas is equal to one barrel ("bbl") of oil. The boe conversion ratio we use is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip. It may not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead and may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation.

There are currently proved + probably undeveloped reserves from the Funk #2 well.

The Hammond #1 well was drilled was drilled and completed to a depth of 3,200 feet.  The well was perforated and has flowed gas until October 2008.  The Funk #2 well was drilled and completed to a depth of 6,060 feet. The well was perforated and flowed gas from various formations since 2007.
 
(1)
"Gross Reserves" are our working interest (operating or non-operating) share before deducting of royalties and without including our royalty interests. "Net Reserves" are our working interest (operating or non-operating) share after deduction of royalty obligations, plus our royalty interests in reserves.

(2)
"Proved" reserves are those reserves that can be estimated with a high degree of certainty to be recoverable. It is likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will exceed the estimated proved reserves.

(3)
"Probable" reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than proved reserves. It is equally likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will be greater or less than the sum of the estimated proved plus probable reserves.

(4)
"Possible" reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than probable reserves. It is unlikely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will exceed the sum of the estimated proved plus probable plus possible reserves.

(5)
"Developed" reserves are those reserves that are expected to be recovered from existing wells and installed facilities or, if facilities have not been installed, that would involve a low expenditure (e.g. when compared to the cost of drilling a well) to put the reserves on production.

(6)
"Developed Producing" reserves are those reserves that are expected to be recovered from completion intervals open at the time of the estimate. These reserves may be currently producing or, if shut-in, they must have previously been on production, and the date of resumption of production must be known with reasonable certainty.

(7)
"Developed Non-Producing" reserves are those reserves that either have not been on production, or have previously been on production, but are shut in, and the date of resumption of production is unknown.

(8)
"Undeveloped" reserves are those reserves expected to be recovered from know accumulations where a significant expenditure (for example, when compared to the cost of drilling a well) is required to render them capable of production. They must fully meet the requirements of the reserves classification (proved, probable, possible) to which they are assigned.

ITEM 5.  OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS

A. OPERATING RESULTS

The Company incurred a net loss before other items of $1,068,748 for the year ended February 28, 2009 compared to a net loss of $1,667,370 in the previous year and $789,625 in 2007. This represents no significant overall change from the previous year.  Comparative changes of individual expenses resulted in consulting fees of $123,300 (2008-$199,358) (2007- $161,609), shareholder communication fees of $25,915 (2008-$130,618) (2007-$138,200), direct operating expense of $111,217 (2008-$151,130) (2007-$108,362).  Consulting fees decreased over the period due to the Company spending less on the usage of technical consultants to explore and develop its land position.  Shareholder communications fees decreased over the period to better reflect the downturn in the investing market.  Direct operating expenses also decreased over the period due to gas wells previously brought online incurring less expenses associated with operating gas producing wells.  Professional fees increased from $153,185 for the year ended February 29, 2008 to $186,573 for the year ended February 28, 2009 due to the Company expanding its property base requiring more professional expertise such as property management and legal representation.  Office and administration fees decreased from $47,733 for the year ended February 29, 2008 to $20,937 for the year ended February 28, 2009 due to decreased overhead activity related to the development of the Company’s resources properties.

Our revenue has decreased from 2008 to 2009 due to the Company's inability to find and develop natural gas reservoirs.  We cannot be certain whether this revenue will continue due to the uncertainty involved in producing from new reservoirs.  Without long term engineering analysis, it is difficult to determine the life span of the reservoirs.

Every year end, the Company is required to file a Form 51-101F Statement of reserves data. As of February 28, 2009 the Company has proved reserves of natural gas.

B. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company has financed its operations to date primarily though the issuance of common shares and exercise of stock options. The Company continues to seek capital through various means including the issuance of equity and/or debt.  The Company anticipates that as additional equity/debt financing continues along with increasing revenues from production, the Company’s working capital deficiency shall be eliminated.  The Company anticipates that current financing along with cash flow from production shall be sufficient for the Company to operate without additional arrangements for funding for at least the next 12 months.

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The continuing operations of the Company are dependent upon its ability to continue to raise adequate financing and to commence profitable operations in the future.

Net cash used in operating activities for the year period ended February 28, 2009 was $191,388 compared to $571,209  used during the year ended February 29, 2008. The cash used in operating activities for the current year consists primarily of operating loss and a change in non-cash working capital.

Net cash used by investing activities for the year ended February 28, 2009 was $122,343 compared to $930,228  used during the prior year. Net cash used during the current period consists primarily of expenditures on oil and gas properties.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended February 28, 2009 was $193,000 compared to $1,290,370 provided during the prior year. The cash provided by financing activities for the current period was primarily raised by private placements, and the exercise of warrants and options.

C. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT, PATENTS AND LICENSES, ETC.

We have no material research and development programs or policies.

D. TREND INFORMATION

There are a number of trends in the crude oil and natural gas industry that are shaping the near future of the business. Crude oil prices are dependent upon the world economy and the global supply-demand balance. Demand for crude oil continues to grow, particularly in developing countries. The current environment of geopolitical unrest has increased prices well above those supported by current supply-demand balances based on perceived risk. While pricing in the future may more accurately reflect supply-demand fundamentals, it would appear that the current tight supply environment is highly sensitive to political and terrorist risks as evidenced by the risk premium in the current price structure.  The magnitude of this risk premium changes over time. Natural gas prices have been somewhat volatile over the past year, particularly due to shut-ins and damages to production facilities in the Gulf of Mexico as a result of adverse weather conditions. With the supply and demand balance for natural gas being tight, the market has experienced volatility in pricing due to a number of factors, including weather, drilling activity, declines, storage levels, fuel switching and demand. In addition, in the next few years liquid natural gas terminals are anticipated to add natural gas supplies to the United States, resulting in a moderation of natural gas prices. It appears that prices of crude oil and natural gas no longer rise and fall in tandem. Any disruptive event could cause crude oil or natural gas prices to spike.  Similarly, resolution of certain geopolitical tensions, such as the crisis with Iran concerning the development of nuclear weapons capability, could cause such prices to moderate.

E. OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

As at February 28, 2009, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements.

F. TABULAR DISCLOSURE OF CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

None.

G. SAFE HARBOR

Certain statements in this Annual Report, including those appearing under this Item 5, constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 21E of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, Section 27A of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended and within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities legislation.

He has played a hands-on role overseeing the exploration, financing and administration of numerous exploration and development oil and gas properties and transactions.

Mr. Bourgeoise is currently not a director of any other public companies:

The Directors of the Company devote times as Directors of the Company as needed.   They have no interests which require a devotion of time which would hamper their full devotion of times as Directors to the Company as needed.

ITEM 10.  ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

A. SHARE CAPITAL

Our authorized share capital consists of 100,000,000 common shares without par value. All issued shares are fully paid and non-assessable. As of February 28, 2009 we had 3,427,350 shares issued and outstanding and had 3,136,100 shares outstanding at the beginning of the year (March 1, 2008).  As of February 28, 2009, we have outstanding an aggregate of 177,500 options to purchase shares pursuant to our Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan (2008). We also have outstanding 578,219 share purchase warrants related to several private placements which closed in the past two years.

On February 28, 2008 we had a total of 3,136,100 shares issued and outstanding as compared to 2,386,781 issued and outstanding on February 28, 2007.

There are no shares of the company which are currently under option or upon which there is an agreement to be put under option in the future.

The Company’s flow through shares have the following characteristics: Canadian tax legislation permits a company to issue flow-through shares whereby the deduction for tax purposes relating to qualified resource expenditures is claimed by the investors rather than the Company.  Recording these expenditures for accounting purposes gives rise to taxable temporary differences.

Emerging Issues Committee 146 “Flow-Through Shares” requires that, whcn flow-through expenditures are renounced, a portion of the future income tax assets that were not recognized in previous years, due to the recording of a valuation allowance, be recognized as a recovery of income taxes in the statement of operations.

B. ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION AND BYLAWS

The Company’s Articles are included as an Exhibit hereto.  There are no limitations in the Articles upon the Company’s Objects and purposes.   All shares have equal dividend rights and there is no time limit at which any dividend entitlement expires.   The entire Board of Directors stands for election at the same time and there is no cumulative voting.  All shares have equal rights to share in the company’s profits, rights to surplus in the event of liquidation.  There are no redemption provisions, sinking fund provisions, liability to further capital calls by the company and no provisions discriminating against any existing or prospective holder of such securities as a result of such shareholder owning a substantial number of shares.

The Board has found that the fiduciary duties placed on individual directors by the Company's governing corporate legislation and the common law and the restrictions placed by applicable corporate legislation on a individual director's participation in decisions of the Board in which the director has an interest have been sufficient to ensure that the Board operates independently of management and in the best interests of the Company.

Under the corporate legislation, a director is required to act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company and exercise the care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in comparable circumstances, and disclose to the board the nature and extent of any interest of the director in any material contract or transaction, is a director of officer (or an individual acting in a similar capacity) of a party to the contract or transaction or has a material interest in a party to the contract or transaction. The director must then abstain from voting on the contract or transaction unless the contract or transaction (i) relates primarily to their remuneration as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or an affiliate of the Company (ii) is for indemnity or insurance for the benefit of the director in connection with the Company, or (iii) is with an affiliate of the corporation. If the director abstains from voting after disclosure of their interest, the directors approve the contract or transaction and the contract or transaction was reasonable and fair to the Company at the time it was entered into, the contract or transaction is not invalid and the director is not accountable to the Company for any profit realized from the contract or transaction. Otherwise, the director must have acted honestly and in good faith, the contract or transaction must have been reasonable and fair to the Company and the contract or transaction be approved by the shareholders by a special resolution after receiving full disclosure of its terms in order for the director to avoid such liability or the contract or transaction being invalid.

Shareholder votes are required on any action which changes the rights of holders of the Company’s stock as required by law.

Annual general meetings shall be held once every calendar year at a time not being more than 13 months after the holding of the last preceding annual general meeting, and at a place as the Directors shall appoint.  The Directors may, whenver they think fit, convene a general meeting.  A general meeting, if requisitioned in accordance with The Act, shall be convened by the Directors or, if not convened by the Directors, may be convened by the requisitionists.

C. MATERIAL CONTRACTS AND AGREEMENTS

Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan (2008). Our only equity compensation plan is the Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan (2008) (the "Option Plan"), which has been approved and adopted by our shareholders. Pursuant to the Option Plan, we may grant stock options to our directors, officers, employees and consultants or to directors, officers, employees or consultants of our subsidiaries. The stock options enable such persons to purchase our common shares at the exercise price fixed by our Board at the time the option is granted. Our Board determines the number of common shares purchasable pursuant to each option and such exercise price within the guidelines established by the Option Plan. These guidelines allow the Board to authorize the issuance of options with a term not to exceed 10 years and to set other conditions to the exercise of options, including any vesting provisions. Consistent with the rules of the Toronto Stock Exchange, our Option Plan requires that the exercise price of the options at the time of grant may not be lower than the market price of our common shares, which is the closing price of our common shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange on the trading day immediately prior to the date the stock option is granted.

D. EXCHANGE CONTROLS

There are no governmental laws, decrees, or regulations in Canada that restrict the export or import of capital or that affect the remittance of dividends, interest, or other payments to non-resident holders of our common stock. However, any such remittance to a non-corporate resident of the United States may be subject to a 15% withholding tax pursuant to Article XI of the reciprocal tax treaty between Canada and the United States. Except as provided in the Investment Canada Act (the "Act"), enacted on June 20, 1985, as amended, as further amended by the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) Implementation Act (Canada) and the World Trade Organization (WTO) Agreement Implementation Act, there are no limitations under the laws of Canada, the Province of British Columbia or in the charter or any other of our constituent documents on the right of non-Canadians to hold and/or vote our common stock.

E. TAXATION

The following paragraphs set forth certain United States and Canadian federal income tax considerations in connection with the payment of dividends on and purchase or sale of our shares of common stock. The tax considerations are stated in general terms and are not intended to be advice to any particular shareholder. Each prospective investor may consult his or her own tax advisor regarding the tax consequences of his or her purchase, ownership and disposition of shares of our common stock. The discussion set forth below is based upon the provisions of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the "Tax Act"), the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") and the Convention between Canada and the United States of America with respect to Taxes on Income and on Capital (the "Convention"), as well as United States Treasury regulations and rulings and judicial decisions. Except as otherwise specifically stated, the following discussion does not take into account or anticipate any changes to such laws, whether by legislative action or judicial decision. The discussion does not take into account the provincial tax laws of Canada or the tax laws of the various state and local jurisdictions in the United States.

Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations. The following discussion applies only to citizens and residents of the United States and United States corporations who are not resident in Canada and will not be resident in Canada and who do not use or hold nor are deemed to use or hold such shares of our common stock in carrying on a business in Canada. The payment of cash dividends and stock dividends on the shares of our common stock will generally be subject to Canadian withholding tax. The rate of the withholding tax will be 25% or such lesser amount as may be provided by treaty between Canada and the country of residence of the recipient. Under the Convention, the withholding tax generally would be reduced to 15%. Neither Canada nor any province thereof currently imposes any estate taxes or succession duties. Provided a holder of shares of our common stock has not, within the preceding five years, owned (either alone or together with persons with whom he or she does not deal at arm's length) 25% or more of the shares of common stock, the disposition (or deemed disposition arising on death) of such shares of common stock will not be subject to the capital gains provisions of the Tax Act.

United States Federal Income Tax Considerations. The following discussion is addressed to US holders. As used in this section, the term "US holder" means a holder of our common stock that is for United States federal income tax purposes (1) an individual citizen or resident of the United States, (2) a corporation created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state of the United States or the District of Columbia, (3) an estate the income of which is subject to United States federal income taxation regardless of its source, or (4) a trust if a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more United States persons (as defined in the Code) have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or a trust was in existence on August 20, 1996, and validly elected to continue to be treated as a United States person. This discussion deals only with the holders that hold their common stock as capital assets within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code. The discussion does not address all aspects of United States federal income taxation that may be relevant to US holders in light of their particular circumstances, nor does it address the United States federal income tax consequences to US holders that are subject to special rules under the Code, including, but not limited to, (i) dealers or traders in securities, (ii) financial institutions, (iii) tax-exempt organizations or qualified retirement plans, (iv) insurance companies, (v) entities that are taxed under the Code as partnerships, pass-through entities or "Subchapter S Corporations", (vi) persons or entities subject to the alternative minimum tax, (vii) persons holding common stock as a hedge or as part of a straddle, constructive sale, conversion transaction, or other risk management transaction, and (viii) holders who hold their common stock other than as a capital asset.


 
25

 

Dividends. Subject to the discussion of the "passive foreign investment company" rules below, a US holder owning shares of common stock must generally treat the gross amount of dividends paid by us to the extent of our current and accumulated earnings and profits without reduction for the amount of Canadian withholding tax, as dividend income for United States federal income tax purposes. To the extent that distributions exceed our current or accumulated earnings and profits, they will be treated first as a tax-free return of capital, which will reduce the holder's adjusted tax basis in his or her common stock (but not below zero), then as capital gain. The dividends generally will not be eligible for the "dividends received" deduction allowed to United States corporations. The amount of Canadian withholding tax on dividends may be available, subject to certain limitations, as a foreign tax credit or, alternatively, as a deduction (see discussion at "Foreign Tax Credit" below). In general, dividends paid by us will be treated as income from sources outside the United States if less than 25% of our gross worldwide income for the 3-year period ending with the close of our taxable year preceding the declaration date of the dividends was effectively connected with a trade or business in the United States. If 25% or more of our worldwide gross income for the 3-year testing period is effectively connected with a trade or business in the United States, then for United States federal income tax purposes our dividends will be treated as U.S. source income in the same proportion that the U.S. trade or business income bears to our total worldwide gross income. Dividends paid by us generally will be "passive income," or in the case of certain types of taxpayers, "financial services income" for foreign tax credit purposes.

If we make a dividend distribution in Canadian dollars, the U.S. dollar value of the distribution on the date of receipt is the amount includible in income. Any subsequent gain or loss in respect of the Canadian dollars received arising from exchange rate fluctuations generally will be U.S. source ordinary income or loss. Long-term capital gain of noncorporate taxpayers generally is eligible for preferential tax rates. Additionally, for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2002 and before January 1, 2011, subject to certain exceptions, dividends received by certain noncorporate taxpayers from "qualified foreign corporations" are taxed at the same preferential rates that apply to long-term capital gain. The maximum federal tax rate on net long-term capital gains recognized by noncorporate taxpayers currently is 15%. Provided that we are not a "passive foreign investment company," as discussed below, we currently should meet the definition of "qualified foreign corporation." As a consequence, dividends paid to certain noncorporate taxpayers should be taxed at the preferential rates. Sale or Exchange of Common Stock. Subject to the discussion of the "passive foreign investment company" rules below, the sale of a share of our common stock generally results in the recognition of gain or loss to the US holder in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized and the US holder's adjusted tax basis in such share. Gain or loss upon the sale of the share will be long-term or short-term capital gain or loss, depending on whether the share has been held for more than one year. The maximum federal tax rate on net long-term capital gains currently is 15% for noncorporate taxpayers and 35% for corporations. Capital gain that is not long-term capital gain is taxed at ordinary income rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to certain limitations. Gain recognized by a US holder on the sale or other disposition of our common stock will generally be treated as United States source income.

Foreign Tax Credit. Subject to the limitations set forth in the Code, as modified by the Convention, a US holder may elect to claim a credit against his or her U.S. federal income tax liability for Canadian income tax withheld from dividends received in respect of shares of our common stock. Holders of our common stock and prospective US holders of our common stock should be aware that dividends we pay generally will constitute "passive income" for purposes of the foreign tax credit, which could reduce the amount of foreign tax credit available to them. The rules relating to the determination of the foreign tax credit are complex. US holders of our common stock and prospective US holders of our common stock may their own tax advisors to determine whether and to what extent they would be entitled to such credit. Holders who itemize deductions may instead claim a deduction for Canadian income tax withheld.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding. Information reporting requirements will generally apply to dividends on, and the proceeds of a sale or exchange of, our common stock that are paid within the United States (and, in some cases, outside the United States) to US holders and certain exempt recipients (such as corporations). Certain US holders may be subject to backup withholding at the rate of 28% on dividends paid or the proceeds of a sale or exchange of our common stock. Generally, backup withholding will apply to a US holder only when the US holder fails to furnish us with or to certify to us the US holder's proper United States tax identification number or we are informed by the Internal Revenue Service of the United States that the US holder has failed to report payments of interest and dividends properly. US holders may use their own tax advisors regarding the qualification for exemption from backup withholding and information reporting and the procedure for obtaining any applicable exemption.

Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations. Special rules apply to US holders that hold stock in a "passive foreign investment company" ("PFIC"). A non-U.S. corporation generally will be a PFIC for any taxable year in which either (i) 75% or more of its gross income is passive income or (ii) 50% or more of the gross value of its assets consists of assets, determined on the basis of a quarterly average, that produce, or that are held for the production of, passive income. For this purpose, passive income generally includes, among other things, interest, dividends, rents, royalties and gains from certain commodities transactions. We believe that we should not be classified as a PFIC for the current taxable year or prior taxable years, and we do not anticipate being a PFIC with respect to future taxable years. However, there can be no assurance that we will not be considered a PFIC for any taxable year, because (1) the application of the PFIC rules to our circumstances is unclear and (2) status under the PFIC rules is based in part on factors not entirely within our control (such as market capitalization). Furthermore, there can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service will not challenge our determination concerning our PFIC status. Therefore, US holders and prospective US holders mayo consult with their own tax advisors with respect to the application of the PFIC rules to them. If, contrary to our expectations, we were to be classified as a PFIC for any taxable year, a US holder may be subject to an increased tax liability (including an interest charge) upon the receipt of certain distributions from us or upon the sale, exchange or other disposition of our common stock, unless such US holder timely makes one of two elections. First, if, for any taxable year that we are treated as a PFIC, a US holder makes a timely election to treat us as a qualified electing fund ("QEF") with respect to such Holder's interest in common stock, the electing US holder would be required to include annually in gross income (1) such Holder's pro rata share of our ordinary earnings, and (2) such Holder's pro rata share of any of our net capital gain, regardless of whether such income or gain is actually distributed. In general, a US holder may make a QEF election for any taxable year at any time on or before the due date (including extensions) for filing such Holder's United States federal income tax return for such taxable year. However, Treasury regulations provide that a US holder may be entitled to make a retroactive QEF election for a taxable year after the election's due date if certain conditions are satisfied. In the event of a determination by us or the Internal Revenue Service that we are a PFIC, we intend to comply with all record-keeping, reporting and other requirements so that US holders, at their option, may maintain a QEF election with respect to us. However, if meeting those record-keeping and reporting requirements becomes onerous, we may decide, in our sole discretion, that such compliance is impractical, and will notify US holders accordingly.

As an alternative to the QEF election, US holders may elect to mark their common stock to its market value (a "mark-to-market election"). If a valid mark-to-market election is made, the electing US holder generally will recognize ordinary income for the taxable year an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of their common stock as of the close of such taxable year over the US holder's adjusted tax basis in the common stock. In addition, the US holder generally is allowed a deduction for the lesser of (1) the excess, if any, of the US holder's adjusted tax basis in the common stock over the fair market value of the common stock as of the close of the taxable year, or (2) the excess, if any of (A) the mark-to-market gains for the common stock included in gross income by the US holder for prior taxable years, over (B) the mark-to-market losses for common stock that were allowed as deductions for prior tax years.

If we were determined to be a PFIC in any year, a US holder who beneficially owned shares of our common stock during that year would be required to file an annual return on Internal Revenue Service Form 8621 with the Internal Revenue Service that described any distributions received from us and any gain realized by that US holder on the disposition of their shares of our common stock. The
PFIC rules are complex. Accordingly, US holders and prospective US holders of our common stock may consult their own tax advisors concerning the impact of these rules, including the making of QEF or mark-to-market elections, on their investment or prospective investment in our common stock.

We have not paid any dividends since our inception and have no plans to pay dividends.

I. SUBSIDIARY INFORMATION

Not applicable.

ITEM 11.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows due to adverse changes in financial market prices, including interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange rate risk, commodity price risk, and other relevant market or price risks. We do not have activities related to derivative financial instruments or derivative commodity instruments. We do hold a portfolio of equity securities resulting from previous business transactions. These securities are susceptible to equity market risk. The oil and gas industry is exposed to a variety of risks including the uncertainty of finding and recovering new economic reserves, the performance of hydrocarbon reservoirs, securing markets for production, commodity prices, interest rate fluctuations, potential damage to or malfunction of equipment and changes to income tax, royalty, environmental or other governmental regulations. We mitigate these risks to the extent we are able by:

 
·
utilizing competent, professional consultants as support teams to company employees;
 
·
performing careful and thorough geophysical, geological and engineering analyses of each prospect;
 
·
maintaining adequate levels of property liability and other business insurance;
 
·
limiting our prospect operations to the extent appropriate.

Market risk is the possibility that a change in the prices for natural gas, natural gas liquids, condensate and oil, foreign currency exchange rates, or interest rates will cause the value of a financial instrument to decrease or become more costly to settle. We are exposed to commodity price risks, credit risk and foreign currency exchange rates.

Commodities Price Risk. Our financial condition, results of operations and capital resources are highly dependent upon the prevailing market prices of oil and natural gas. These commodity prices are subject to wide fluctuations and market uncertainties due to a variety of factors that are beyond our control. Factors influencing oil and natural gas prices include the level of global demand for crude oil, the foreign supply of oil and natural gas, the establishment of and compliance with production quotas by oil exporting countries, weather conditions which determine the demand for natural gas, the price and availability of alternative fuels and overall economic conditions. It is impossible to predict future oil and natural gas prices with any degree of certainty. Sustained weakness in oil and natural gas prices may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations, and may also reduce the amount of oil and natural gas reserves that we can produce economically. Any reduction in our oil and natural gas reserves, including reductions due to price fluctuations, can have an adverse affect on our ability to obtain capital for our development activities. Similarly, any improvements in oil and natural gas prices can have a favorable impact on our financial condition, results of operations and capital resources

Credit Risk. In addition to market risk, our financial instruments involve, to varying degrees, risk associated with trade credit and risk associated with operatorship of certain properties as well as credit risk related to our customers and trade payables. All of our accounts receivable are with customers or partners and are subject to normal industry credit risk. We do not require collateral or other security to support financial instruments nor do we provide collateral or security to counterparties. Currently, we do not expect non-performance by any counterparty. Foreign Exchange Risk. Whenever we fund subsidiary company operations, foreign exchange gains or losses are incurred (upon conversion from Canadian to U.S. Dollars).

Interest Rate Risk. Interest rate risk exists principally with respect to our cash invested in short term investments that bears interest at floating rates.

ITEM 15.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
We carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of February 28, 2009 (the “Evaluation Date”). This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the Evaluation Date as a result of the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting discussed below.
 
Disclosure controls and procedures are those controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC'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 management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
Notwithstanding the assessment that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective and that there were material weaknesses as identified in this report, we believe that our financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended February 28, 2009 fairly present our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in all material respects.
 
Management's Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, for the Company.
 
Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of its management and directors; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
 
Management recognizes that there are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any system of internal control, and accordingly, even effective internal control can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and may not prevent or detect material misstatements. In addition, effective internal control at a point in time may become ineffective in future periods because of changes in conditions or due to deterioration in the degree of compliance with our established policies and procedures.
 
A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that results in there being a more than remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected.
 
Under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, as of the Evaluation Date, based on the framework set forth in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on its evaluation under this framework, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of the Evaluation Date.
 
Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of Evaluation Date and identified the following material weaknesses:
 
Insufficient Resources: We have an inadequate number of personnel with requisite expertise in the key functional areas of finance and accounting.
 
Inadequate Segregation of Duties: We have an inadequate number of personnel to properly implement control procedures.
 
Insufficient Written Policies & Procedures: We have insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting.
 

 
29

 

Inadequate Financial Statement Closing Process: We have an inadequate financial statement closing process.
 
Lack of Audit Committee & Outside Directors on the Company’s Board of Directors: We do not have a functioning audit committee and outside directors on the Company’s Board of Directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures.
 
Management is committed to improving its internal controls and will (1) continue to use third party specialists to address shortfalls in staffing and to assist the Company with accounting and finance responsibilities, (2) increase the frequency of independent reconciliations of significant accounts which will mitigate the lack of segregation of duties until there are sufficient personnel and (3) prepare and implement sufficient written policies and checklists for financial reporting and closing processes and (4) may consider appointing outside directors and audit committee members in the future.
 
Management, including our Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, has discussed the material weakness noted above with our independent registered public accounting firm. Due to the nature of this material weakness, there is a more than remote likelihood that misstatements which could be material to the annual or interim financial statements could occur that would not be prevented or detected.
 
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management's report in this annual report.
 
Changes in internal control over financial reporting
 
As of the Evaluation Date, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal year ended February 28, 2009 that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
 
Limitations on the effectiveness of controls and procedures
 
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, do not expect that the our controls and procedures will prevent all potential errors or fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.

DAVIDSON & COMPANY LLP
Chartered Accountants - A Partnership of Incorporated Professionals

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

To the Shareholders of
Petro Horizon Energy Corp.
(formerly Horizon Industries Ltd.)

We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Petro Horizon Energy Corp. (formerly Horizon Industries Ltd.) as at February 28, 2009 and February 29, 2008 and the consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss and deficit and cash flows for the years ended February 28, 2009, February 29, 2008 and February 28, 2007.  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 Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance 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.

In our opinion, these consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at February 28, 2009 and February 29, 2008 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the years ended February 28, 2009, February 29, 2008 and February 28, 2007 in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.

COMMENTS BY AUDITORS FOR U.S. READERS ON CANADA –
U.S. REPORTING DIFFERENCE

In the United States, reporting standards for auditors require the addition of an explanatory paragraph (following the opinion paragraph) when the financial statements are affected by conditions and events that cast substantial doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, such as those described in Note 1 to the financial statements.  Our report to the shareholders dated June 22, 2009 is expressed in accordance with Canadian reporting standards which do not permit a reference to such events and conditions in the auditors' report when these are adequately disclosed in the financial statements.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FEBRUARY 28, 2009



1.           NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS

Petro Horizon Energy Corp. (formerly Horizon Industries Ltd.) (“Horizon” or “the Company”) was incorporated in British Columbia on February 24, 1997 as J.P.T. Resources Ltd., and changed its name to Horizon Industries Ltd. on June 7, 1999.  The Company changed its name again on February 13, 2009 to Petro Horizon Energy Corp.  The Company is engaged in the exploration and development of petroleum and natural gas properties.

On December 22, 2003, the Company formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, Horizon Industries (USA), Ltd., which was incorporated in the State of Nevada.

The Company is developing some of its petroleum and natural gas properties and has not yet determined whether all of the reserves of its properties are economically recoverable. The recoverability of the amounts shown for petroleum and natural gas properties are dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to complete the development of those reserves and upon future profitable production.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles assuming the Company will continue on a going-concern basis. The Company has incurred losses since inception and the ability of the Company to continue as a going-concern depends upon its ability to develop profitable operations and to continue to raise adequate financing. Management is actively targeting sources of additional financing which would assure continuation of the Company’s operations and exploration programs. In order for the Company to meet its liabilities as they come due and to continue its operations, the Company is solely dependent upon its ability to generate such financing.

There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to continue to raise funds in which case the Company may be unable to meet its obligations. Should the Company be unable to realize on its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business, the net realizable value of its assets may be materially less than the amounts recorded on the balance sheets. The financial statements do not include adjustments to amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue operations.

The current market conditions and volatility increase the uncertainty of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern given the need to both curtail expenditures and to raise additional funds. The Company is experiencing, and has experienced, negative operating cash flows. The Company will continue to search for new or alternate sources of financing but anticipates that the current market conditions may impact the ability to source such funds.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 
Use of estimates

 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of 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.

Principles of consolidation

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Horizon Industries (USA) Ltd.  All inter-company transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d…)
 
 
Foreign currency translation
 
The Company’s foreign operations are of an integrated nature.  Monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date and non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical exchange rates.  Revenue and expenses are translated at rates of exchange prevailing on the dates of the underlying transaction.  Gains or losses on translation are included in the determination of net loss for the year.
 
Petroleum and natural gas properties

The Company utilizes the full cost method to account for its investment in oil and gas properties.  Under this method, all costs of acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas reserves, including such costs as leasehold acquisition costs, geological expenditures, tangible and intangible development costs and direct internal costs, are capitalized as incurred.  The cost of the oil and gas properties with proved reserves will be depleted and charged to operations using the unit-of-production method based on the ratio of current production to estimated proved petroleum and natural gas reserves.

Costs directly associated with the acquisition and evaluation of unproved properties are excluded from the depletion computation until it is determined whether or not proved reserves can be assigned to the properties or whether impairment has occurred.  If the results of an annual assessment indicate that the properties are impaired, the amount of the impairment along with the costs of drilling exploratory dry holes and geological and geophysical costs that cannot be directly associated with specific unevaluated properties are added to the capitalized costs subject to depletion.  Should the Company not have properties with proven reserves, these costs are charged to operations for the year.

In applying the full cost method, the Company performs an annual cost centre impairment (ceiling test).  The Company tests each cost centre for recoverability by comparing the carrying value of capital costs to the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition.  The calculation of future net revenues is based on reasonable estimates of future oil and gas prices and costs.  Unproved properties are included in the cost centre impairment test by adding the cost of the unproved property, less any impairment, to the estimated future cash flow for the cost centre.  An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of a cost centre is not recoverable and is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets capitalized in a cost centre exceeds the sum of the fair value of proved and probable reserves plus costs, less any impairment, of unproved properties.

Any amounts recorded for depletion and amortization of oil and gas properties and equipment and any provision for future site restoration and abandonment costs are based on estimates.  The ceiling test is based on estimates of proved reserves, production rates, oil and gas prices, future costs and other relevant assumptions.  By their nature, these estimates are subject to measurement uncertainty and the effect on the financial statements of changes in such estimates in future periods could be significant.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d…)

Impairment of long-lived assets

A long-lived asset is tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of a long-lived asset exceeds its fair value. For purposes of recognition and measurement of an impairment loss, a long-lived asset is grouped with other assets and liabilities to form an asset group at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. Estimates of future cash flows used to test recoverability of a long-lived asset include only the future cash flows that are directly associated with, and that are expected to arise as a direct result of, its use and eventual disposition.
 
Asset retirement obligations

The Company recognizes the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the year in which it is incurred when a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made.  The carrying amount of the related long-lived asset is increased by the same amount as the liability.

Changes in the liability for an asset retirement obligation due to the passage of time will be measured by applying an interest method of allocation.  The amount will be recognized as an increase in the liability and an accretion expense in the statement of operations.  Changes resulting from revisions to the timing or the amount of the original estimate of undiscounted cash flows are recognized as an increase or a decrease in the carrying amount of the liability for an asset retirement obligation and the cost of the related long-lived asset.
 
Future income taxes

Future income taxes are calculated using the asset and liability method.  Under the asset and liability method, future tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.  Future tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted or substantively enacted tax rates expected to apply when the asset is realized or the liability settled.  The effect on future tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that substantive enactment or enactment occurs.  To the extent that the Company does not consider it more likely than not that a future tax asset will be recovered, it provides a valuation allowance against the excess.

Loss per share

The Company uses the treasury stock method to compute the dilutive effect of options, warrants and similar instruments.  Under this method the dilutive effect on loss per share is recognized on the use of the proceeds that could be obtained upon exercise of options, warrants and similar instruments.  It assumes that the proceeds would be used to purchase common shares at the average market price during the year.  For the years presented the dilutive effect has not been computed as it proved to be anti-dilutive.

Basic loss per share is calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the year.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d…)

Stock-based compensation

The Company recognizes compensation expense for all stock options granted, using the fair value based method of accounting.  Any cash paid on the exercise of stock options is added to the stated value of common shares.

Revenue recognition

Revenue from the sale of petroleum and natural gas products is recognized upon the passage of title and when ultimate collection is reasonably assured, and is recorded net of royalties and severance taxes.

Financial instruments

All financial instruments are classified into one of five categories: held-for-trading, held-to-maturity investments, loans and receivables, available-for-sale financial assets or other financial liabilities. All financial instruments and derivatives are measured in the balance sheet at fair value except for loans and receivables, held-to maturity investments and other financial liabilities which are measured at amortized cost. Subsequent measurement and changes in fair value will depend on their initial classification. Held-for-trading financial assets are measured at fair value and changes in fair value are recognized in net loss. Available-for-sale financial instruments are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in other comprehensive income until the instrument is derecognized or impaired.

The Company has classified its cash as held-for-trading. Amounts receivable are classified as loans and receivables. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities are classified as other liabilities, which are measured at amortized cost.

Comparative figures

Comparative figures have been reclassified, where applicable, to conform with the current year’s presentation.

Changes in accounting policy

Effective March 1, 2008, the Company adopted the following new standards issued by the CICA.

Capital disclosures (Section 1535)

This Section establishes standards for the disclosure of (i) an entity’s objectives, policies and processes for managing capital; (ii) quantitative data about what the entity regards as capital; (iii) whether the entity has complied with any capital requirements; and (iv) if it has not complied, the consequences of such non-compliance.  The implementation of this section did not have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.  The new disclosure is provided in Note 3.

Changes in accounting policy (cont’d…)

Financial instruments – Disclosures (Section 3862)

This Section requires an increased emphasis on disclosing the nature and the extent of risk arising from financial instruments and how the entity manages those risks.  This section, together with Section 3863, “Financial Instruments – Presentation”, replaced Section 3861, “Financial Instruments – Disclosure and Presentation”.  The adoption of these Sections has had no impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.  See Note 4 for required disclosures.

Financial instruments – Presentation (Section 3863)

This Section establishes standards for presentation of financial instruments and non-financial derivatives. The adoption of the Section has had no significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

General standards of financial statement presentation (Section 1400)

In June 2007, the CICA issued amendments to Section 1400, "General Standards of Financial Statement - Presentation" to include requirements to assess and disclose an entity's ability to continue as a going concern. The amendments are effective for interim and annual financial statements beginning on or after January 1, 2008. The Company has applied the new amendments at the beginning of its fiscal year. The implementation did not have a significant impact on the Company's results of operations or financial position.  The additional disclosure is provided in Note 1.

Future accounting pronouncements

Goodwill and intangible assets (Section 3064)

In February 2008, the CICA issued Section 3064, “Goodwill and Intangible Assets”, which replaces Section 3062, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. This new standard provides guidance on the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of goodwill and intangible assets. Concurrent with the adoption of this standard, EIC 27, “Revenue and Expenditures in the Pre-operating Period”, will be withdrawn. The Company does not expect the adoption of this section to have a significant effect on its financial statements.  This section will be adopted effective March 1, 2009.

Business combinations (Section 1582)

In January 2009, the CICA issued Section 1582 “Business Combinations” to replace Section 1581. Prospective application of the standard is effective January 1, 2011, with early adoption permitted. This new standard effectively harmonizes the business combinations standard under Canadian GAAP with International Financial Reporting Standards. The new standard revises guidance on the determination of the carrying amount of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, goodwill and accounting for non-controlling interests at the time of a business combination. The Company does not expect the adoption of this section to have a significant effect on its financial statements.

Future accounting pronouncements (cont’d…)

Consolidated financial statements (Section 1601) and non-controlling interests (Section 1602)

The CICA concurrently issued Section 1601 “Consolidated Financial Statements” and Section 1602 “Non-Controlling Interests” which replace Section 1600 “Consolidated Financial Statements.” Section 1601 provides revised guidance on the preparation of consolidated financial statements and Section 1602 addresses accounting for non-controlling interests in consolidated financial statements subsequent to a business combination. Theses standards are effective January 1, 2011, unless they are early adopted at the same time as Section 1582 “Business Combinations.” The Company does not expect the adoption of this section to have a significant effect on its financial statements.

Credit risk and the fair value of financial assets and liabilities (EIC-173)

In January 2009, the Emerging Issues Committee (“EIC”) issued EIC -173 “Credit Risk and the Fair Value of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” This abstract requires companies to take counterparty credit risk into account when measuring the fair value of financial assets and liabilities, including derivatives. This new standard is effective for the Company’s interim and annual consolidated financial statements commencing March 1, 2009. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its financial statements.

Mining exploration costs (EIC-174)

On March 27, 2009, the CICA approved EIC-174 “Mining Exploration Costs.” This guidance clarified that an entity that has initially capitalized exploration costs has an obligation in the current and subsequent accounting periods to test such costs for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its financial statements.

International financial reporting standards ("IFRS")

In January 2006 the AcSB announced that accounting standards in Canada are to converge with IFRS.  The AcSB has indicated that Canadian entities will need to begin reporting under IFRS for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2011 with appropriate comparative data from the prior year.  The transition date of March 1, 2011 will require restatement for comparative purposes of amounts reported by the Company for the year ended February 28, 2011.  Under IFRS, the primary audience is capital markets and as a result, there is significantly more disclosure required, specifically for quarterly reporting.  Further, while IFRS uses a conceptual framework similar to Canadian GAAP, there are significant differences in accounting policy which must be addressed.  While the Company has begun assessing the adoption of IFRS for 2011, the financial reporting impact of the transition to IFRS cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

3.           CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, based on the funds available to the Company, in order to support the acquisition, exploration and development of petroleum and natural gas properties. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company’s management to sustain future development of the business.

3.           CAPITAL MANAGEMENT (cont’d…)

The properties in which the Company currently has an interest are in the exploration and early production stage; as such the Company has historically relied on the equity markets to fund its activities. The Company will continue to assess new properties and seek to acquire an interest in additional properties if it feels there is sufficient geologic or economic potential and if it has adequate financial resources to do so.

Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable.

There were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management during the year ended February 28, 2009.  The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

4.           FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company’s risk exposures and the impact on the Company’s financial instruments are summarized below:

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with a counterparty’s inability to fulfill its payment obligations. The Company’s credit risk is primarily attributable to amounts receivable. Management believes that the credit risk concentration with respect to financial instruments included in accounts receivable is remote.

Liquidity risk

The Company’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due. As at February 28, 2009, the Company had a cash balance of $9,350 (2008 - $130,081) to settle current liabilities of $187,101 (2008 - $5,057). All of the Company’s financial liabilities have contractual maturities of less than 30 days and are subject to normal trade terms.  The Company expects to fund those liabilities through the issuance of capital stock and loans from related parties over the coming year.

Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in market factors such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and commodity and equity prices.

(a)           Interest rate risk

The Company has cash balances and no interest-bearing debt. The Company’s current policy is to invest excess cash in investment-grade short-term deposit certificates issued by its banking institutions. The Company periodically monitors the investments it makes and is satisfied with the credit ratings of its banks. As of February 28, 2009, the Company did not have any investments in investment-grade short-term deposit certificates.

Market risk (cont’d…)

(b)           Foreign currency risk

The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk on fluctuations related to cash, receivables and accounts payable and accrued liabilities that are denominated in US Dollars (USD). The Company holds $488 USD in cash and has a USD receivable of $4,149.  Any fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates would have an insignificant impact on net loss for the year.

(c)           Price risk

The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to commodity and equity prices. Equity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on the Company’s earnings due to movements in individual equity prices or general movements in the level of the stock market. Commodity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on earnings and economic value due to commodity price movements and volatilities. The Company closely monitors commodity prices of oil and natural gas, individual equity movements, and the stock market to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken by the Company.

PETROLEUM AND NATURAL GAS PROPERTIES (cont’d…)

The Company’s producing oil and gas properties are located within the state of Texas, USA. As at February 28, 2009, the oil and gas properties include $Nil (2008 - $293,878) relating to unproved properties that have been excluded from the depletion calculation.  During the year, the Company abandoned certain unproved properties, and accordingly the costs relating to the properties were written-off to operations, in the amount of $331,009 (2008 - $222,481).

The full cost ceiling test results as of February 28, 2009 resulted in an impairment of evaluated oil and gas properties of $198,006 (2008 - $464,086).  The future prices used in the February 28, 2009 ceiling test are as follows:

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CANADIAN AND UNITED STATES GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (cont’d…)

Consolidated statements of cash flows

There were no significant differences between Canadian GAAP and United States GAAP on the consolidated statements of cash flows.

Oil and gas properties

Under both United States and Canadian GAAP, property, plant and equipment must be assessed for potential impairment.

Under Canadian GAAP, a ceiling test is applied to ensure that capitalized costs for oil and gas properties and equipment do not exceed the sum of estimated undiscounted, future net revenues from proven reserves less the cost incurred or estimated to develop those reserves, interest and general and administration costs, and an estimate for restoration costs and applicable taxes. Effective January 1, 2004, the CICA implemented a new pronouncement on impairment of long-lived assets, which required the impairment loss as a result of the ceiling test to be measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the expected future cash flows discounted using a risk free interest rate.

Under United States GAAP, costs accumulated in each cost center are limited to an amount equal to the present value, discounted at 10%, of the estimated future net operating revenues from proved reserves, net of restoration costs and income taxes. Under United States GAAP an additional write-down was not required for the years ended February 28, 2009, February 29, 2008 and February 28, 2007.

Flow-through shares

Under Canadian income tax legislation, the Company is permitted to issue shares whereby the Company agrees to incur qualifying expenditures (as defined under the Income Tax Act of Canada) and renounce the related income tax deductions to the investors.  Under Canadian GAAP, flow-through shares are accounted for as part of the issuance of capital stock at the price paid for the shares, net of any future income tax liability.  Under United States GAAP, any difference between the market price of the Company's stock and the fair value of the flow-through shares must be recorded as a liability if a premium is paid by investors or as an asset if investors are purchasing the shares at a discount.  The asset or liability is charged to income as the flow-through share proceeds are expended on qualifying expenditures.

During fiscal 2006 the Company issued flow-through shares and recorded a premium of $25,080 in 2006 for United States GAAP purposes.  In fiscal 2007, the Company renounced these funds resulting in a future tax recovery for Canadian GAAP purposes.

During the 2009 and 2008 fiscal years, the Company did not issue any flow-through shares and accordingly there was no difference between Canadian and United States GAAP.

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CANADIAN AND UNITED STATES GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (cont’d…)

 New accounting pronouncements

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. SFAS No. 157 establishes a framework for measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities. This framework is intended to provide increased consistency in how fair value determinations are made under various existing accounting standards which permit, or in some cases require, estimates of fair market value. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Earlier application is encouraged, provided that the reporting entity has not yet issued financial statements for that fiscal year, including any financial statements for an interim period within that fiscal year.

FASB Staff Position 157-2 (“FSP FAS 157-2”) delayed the effective date of FAS 157 until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years, for all non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually).  The adoption of FAS 157 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In March 2008, the FASB issued FAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“FAS 161”). FAS 161 changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures about how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under FAS 133, and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s operating results, financial position, and cash flows. FAS 161 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently reviewing the provisions of FAS 161 and has not yet adopted the statement. However, as the provisions of FAS 161 are only related to disclosure of derivative and hedging activities, the Company does not believe the adoption of FAS 161 will have a material impact on its consolidated operating results, financial position, or cash flows.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of ARB No. 51,” (SFAS 160). SFAS 160 amends Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, “Consolidated Financial Statements,” to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. This standard defines a noncontrolling interest, sometimes called a minority interest, as the portion of equity in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to a parent. SFAS 160 requires, among other items, that a noncontrolling interest be included in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity separate from the parent’s equity; consolidated net income to be reported at amounts inclusive of both the parent’s and noncontrolling interest’s shares and, separately, the amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and noncontrolling interest all on the consolidated statement of income; and if a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary be measured at fair value and a gain or loss be recognized in net income based on such fair value. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Management has determined that the adoption of SFAS 160 will not have an impact on its consolidated operating results, financial position, or cash flows.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141(R), which replaces SFAS 141 and retains the fundamental requirements in SFAS 141, including that the purchase method be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. This standard defines the acquirer as the entity that obtains control of one or more businesses in the business combination and establishes the acquisition date as the date that the acquirer achieves control instead of the date that the consideration is transferred. SFAS 141(R) requires an acquirer in a business combination, including business combinations achieved in stages (step acquisition), to recognize the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date, with limited exceptions. It also requires the recognition of assets acquired and liabilities assumed arising from certain contractual contingencies as of the acquisition date, measured at their acquisition-date fair values. SFAS 141(R) becomes effective for the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Management has determined that the adoption of SFAS 141(R) will not have a material impact on the consolidated operating results, financial position or cash flows.

In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets,” (FSP FAS 142-3). FSP FAS 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under FASB Statement No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” (SFAS 142) in order to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS 141(R) and other GAAP. FSP FAS 142-3 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Management has determined that the adoption of FSP FAS 142-3 will not have a material impact on the consolidated operating results, financial position or cash flows.

In June 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. EITF 03-6-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities,” (FSP EITF 03-6-1). FSP EITF 03-6-1 states that unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. FSP EITF 03-6-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Management has determined that the adoption of FSP EITF 03-6-1 will not have a material impact on the consolidated operating results, financial position or cash flows.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position FAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly” (“FSP 157-4”). FSP 157-4 provides significant guidance for determining when a market has become inactive as well as guidance for determining whether transactions are not orderly. FSP 157-4 also provides guidance on the use of valuation techniques and the use of broker quotes and pricing services. It reiterates that fair value is based on an exit price and also that fair value is market-driven and not entity-specific. FSP 157- 4 applies to all assets and liabilities within the scope of SFAS No. 157. FSP 157-4 is effective for all interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. Management has determined that the adoption of FSP 157-4 will not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position, and cash flows.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position FAS 115-2, FAS 124-2 and EITF 99-20-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments” (“FSP 115-2”). FSP 115-2 provides guidance related to determining the amount of an other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) of debt securities and prescribes the method to be used to present information about an OTTI in the financial statements. FSP 115-2 is effective for all interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. Management has determined that the adoption of FSP 115-2 will not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position, and cash flows.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” (“FSP 107-1”), which increases the frequency of fair value disclosures to a quarterly basis instead of an annual basis. The guidance relates to fair value disclosures for any financial instruments that are not currently reflected on the balance sheet at fair value. FSP 107-1 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. Management has determined that the adoption of FSP 107-1 will not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position, and cash flows.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events. SFAS No. 165 provides guidance as to the period after the balance sheet date during which management must evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, the circumstances under which an entity shall recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements, and the disclosures that an entity must make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. SFAS No. 165 is effective for periods ending after June 15, 2009. Management has determined that the adoption of SFAS No. 165 will not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position, and cash flows.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” SFAS No. 168 replaces SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles,” and establishes the FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM as the source of authoritative accounting guidance under U.S. GAAP. The rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative U.S. GAAP for SEC registrants. SFAS No. 168 is effective for periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Company does not expect SFAS No. 168 to have a material effect on its results of operations, financial position, and cash flows.
