Overview
 
We are a start up oil and gas exploration company. We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on February 14, 2006, under the name “XTOL Energy Inc.” We operated under this name until October 10, 2007, and then changed our name to LAUD Resources Inc.  On June 23, 2008 we changed our name to MASS Petroleum Inc. and on July 11, 2008 we received a new symbol for the quotation of our common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board, “MASP.OB”.
 
We do not have any subsidiaries. Our principal office is located at Suite 507-700 West Pender Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 1G8. Our telephone number is (604) 662-3910.  Our fiscal year end is November 30.
 
We have incurred losses since our inception. We rely upon the sale of our securities to fund our operations. We have generated limited revenues of $13,098 from our 2.34% non operated interest in three operating wells in Oklahoma from the time we acquired our interest on August 1, 2006 to November 30, 2008.

We intend to build our business through the acquisition of producing and exploration stage oil and natural gas wells, interests and leases.  Our strategy is to combine the secure and reliable revenue source of operated and non-operated interest from producing oil wells with the higher risk development of oil and gas exploration projects. For the next twelve months (beginning December 2008), we plan to purchase additional operated and non-operated interests in producing oil and natural gas properties, to acquire additional development stage exploration properties and to carry out an exploration program on the acquired properties.  We are not involved in any bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceedings.

Business Developments

During our fiscal year ended November 30, 2008, the following developments occurred:

·  
On February 5, 2008 we declared a stock dividend in the amount of $0.000001 per share to each of our shareholders of record as of February 5, 2008 (being 81,088,000 common shares issued and outstanding). The dividend was payable in fully paid and non-assessable common shares of APIC Resources Inc., effectively resulting in the issuance of 1 common share of APIC for every 100 of our common shares owned. In connection with our dividend declaration, our holdings of 100 common shares of APIC Resources Inc. were cancelled.
·  
On June 9, 2008 we appointed Vitaly Melnikov as our Chief Financing Officer and accepted the resignation of Jordan Shapiro from the position effective immediately. Jordan Shapiro continues to act as our Secretary.
·  
On June 17, 2008 we appointed Vitaly Melnikov and Oleg Bilinsky as our directors, with Mr. Bilinsky being appointed as the Chairman of our Board of Directors. We increased the number of directors serving on our board of directors to four.
·  
On June 24, 2008 we appointed Oleg Bilinski as our President and Chief Executive Officer, and accepted Gary Chayko’s resignation from these positions. Mr. Chayko also resigned his position as our director, reducing the number of our directors to three.
·  
On October 6, 2008 we filed a registration statement with the SEC registering our common shares pursuant to section 12(g) of the Exchange Act.
·  
On October 15, 2008 we granted Vitaly Melnikov options to purchase 500,000 of our common shares at an exercise price of $1.50 per share, with vesting dates ranging from December 6, 2008 to June 6, 2010 and with expiry dates ranging from December 5, 2010 to June 5, 2012.
 
On May 19, 2008 we entered into a share exchange agreement and addendum with Uraltransneft Co. Ltd., a Russian corporation, and its selling shareholders, Igor Alexeevich Kuznetsov, Valeriy Volegov, and Yuriy Krylov.  Pursuant to the agreement we have agreed to issue 41,100,000 common shares of our capital stock to the selling shareholders in exchange for all outstanding shares of Uraltransneft. Closing of the agreement may take place on a date to be mutually determined by the parties and is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions precedent including:
 
 
·  
Acquisition by Uraltransneft of a target corporation whose assets include full oil extraction infrastructure, transport equipment, pipeline, and wells producing 2,000 barrels of oil per day with at least 7,500,000 barrels of oil in reserves.
 
·  
Satisfactory completion of due diligence by us of certain oilfields confirming the presence of not less than 15,000,000 barrels of oil reserves, and assignment by Uraltransneft to us of an option agreement to purchase a 100% interest in those oilfields.
 
·  
Surrender for cancellation by Mr. Jordan Shapiro, Hudson Capital Corp. and Mr. Gary Chayko of a total of 40,088,000 common shares and 20,000,000 options to purchase common shares in our capital stock.
 
·  
Satisfactory completion of customary due diligence by us and Uraltransneft.
 
 
Following closing, we have agreed to provide $6,000,000 in financing to Uraltransneft in four installments of $1,500,000 each payable within 7 days, three months, six months, and 12 months following closing. Additionally, we have the non-exclusive option to arrange a best efforts financing of up to $13,500,000 to be used for the purchases of three companies from Uraltransneft for $11,500,000 and $2,000,000 that hold oil extraction licenses from six oilfields located in Perm Krai, Russia. This purchase is subject to our satisfactory review of a detailed budget, to be prepared Uraltransneft and provided to us within seven days after we have acquired the oilfields under the non-exclusive option. Within ten days of closing the share exchange agreement, Uraltranseft will provide us with a purchase agreement by which we may exercise the option if we so choose.
 
If we fail to provide $6,000,000 in financing to Uraltransneft within 12 months of the closing, either party may terminate the share exchange agreement upon providing notice to the other party. Upon such termination, all transactions and cancellations of shares and options pursuant to the agreement will be reversed and Uraltransneft will be returned to its original shareholders. In the event of termination, Uraltransneft will not have any obligation to return any financing it receives pursuant to the agreement.
 
Closing of the agreement will result in Uraltransneft becoming our wholly owned subsidiary. Additionally, the three selling shareholders of Uraltransneft will each hold approximately 13,700,000 common shares (the equivalent of 16.8%) of our issued and outstanding common stock.
 
Uraltransfneft Co. Ltd. is based in Perm, Russia, where it holds a crude oil and gas production license, and is engaged in the businesses of oil exploration, extraction, processing, distribution, transportation and related services. There is no material relationship between us and Uraltransneft or the selling shareholders other than the material agreement entered into.
 
As of March 17, 2009 we have not been able to raise the required funds to close the agreement with Uraltransfneft and our management believes the likelihood of closing the agreement is uncertain.  We will continue with our efforts to complete this transaction until our board of directors concludes that it is no longer in our best interest to do so or our contractual rights expire.

Future Oil and Gas Interests

In conjunction with our efforts to complete the transaction for the acquisition of Uraltransneft we are also searching for oil and gas leases or interests in leases in small and medium-sized oil and natural gas production companies and properties. For our initial acquisitions, we are looking for low risk property interests. During the 12 months beginning April 2009, we intend to include in our portfolio additional non-operated interests in producing wells as well as an exploration interest in a development stage oil and gas property.  As we continue the development of our portfolio of interests, we will be looking for properties and interests that have the following qualities:

·  
at least developmental drilling in proven producing areas;
   
·  
significant additional production capacity through developmental drilling, recompletions and workovers;
   
·  
further developmental potential; and
   
·  
in some cases, ability to assume operatorship or appointment of a known operator with relevant experience in the area.
 
Markets

We are currently in the exploration stage and we have generated only nominal revenues. We are not producing oil or gas and we have no customers.  We only have a non-operated working interest in three wells in Oklahoma at this time.  The availability of a ready market and the prices obtained for oil and gas produced depend on many factors, including the extent of domestic production and imports of oil and gas, the proximity and capacity of natural gas pipelines and other transportation facilities, fluctuating demand for oil and gas, the marketing of competitive fuels, and the effects of governmental regulation of oil and gas production and sales.

A ready market exists for domestic oil and gas through existing pipelines and transportation of liquid products. Whether an international market exists depends upon the existence of international delivery systems and on political and pricing factors.

If we are successful in producing oil and gas in the future, we expect our future customers for our oil and gas to be refiners, remarketers and third party intermediaries, who either have, or have access to, consumer delivery systems. We intend to sell our oil and gas under both short-term (less than one year) and long-term (one year or more) agreements at prices negotiated with third parties. Typically either the entire contract (in the case of short-term contracts) or the price provisions of the contract (in the case of long-term contracts) are renegotiated at intervals ranging in frequency from daily to annually. We have not yet adopted any specific sales and marketing plans. However, as we purchase future properties, the need to hire marketing personnel will be addressed.
 
Competition

The oil and gas industry is highly competitive. We are a new exploration stage company and have a weak competitive position in the industry. We compete with junior and senior oil and gas companies, independent producers and institutional and individual investors who are actively seeking to acquire oil and gas properties throughout the world together with the equipment, labor and materials required to operate on those properties. Competition for the acquisition of oil and gas interests is intense with many oil and gas leases or concessions available in a competitive bidding process in which we may lack the technological information or expertise available to other bidders.

Many of the oil and gas companies with which we compete for financing and for the acquisition of oil and gas properties have greater financial and technical resources than those available to us. Accordingly, these competitors may be able to spend greater amounts on acquiring oil and gas interests of merit or on exploring or developing their oil and gas properties. This advantage could enable our competitors to acquire oil and gas properties of greater quality and interest to prospective investors who may choose to finance their additional exploration and development. Such competition could adversely impact our ability to attain the financing necessary for us to acquire further oil and gas interests or explore and develop our current or future oil and gas properties.

We also compete with other junior oil and gas companies for financing from a limited number of investors that are prepared to invest in such companies. The presence of competing junior oil and gas companies may impact our ability to raise additional capital in order to fund our acquisition or exploration programs if investors perceive that investments in our competitors are more attractive based on the merit of their oil and gas properties or the price of the investment opportunity. In addition, we compete with both junior and senior oil and gas companies for available resources, including, but not limited to, professional geologists, land specialists, engineers, camp staff, helicopters, float planes, oil and gas exploration supplies and drill rigs.

General competitive conditions may be substantially affected by various forms of energy legislation and/or regulation introduced from time to time by the governments of the United States and other countries, as well as factors beyond our control, including international political conditions, overall levels of supply and demand for oil and gas, and the markets for synthetic fuels and alternative energy sources.

In the face of competition, we may not be successful in acquiring, exploring or developing profitable oil and gas properties or interests, and we cannot give any assurance that suitable oil and gas properties or interests will be available for our acquisition, exploration or development. Despite this, we hope to compete successfully in the oil and gas industry by:

·  
keeping our costs low;

·  
relying on the strength of our management’s contacts; and

·  
using our size and experience to our advantage by adapting quickly to changing market conditions or responding swiftly to potential opportunities.

Subsidiaries
 
On January 24, 2008 we incorporated APIC Resources, Inc. as our wholly owned subsidiary.  On February 5, 2008 we issued a dividend of $0.000001 to each of our 81,088,000 common shares outstanding as of February 5, 2008.  We satisfied this dividend by arranging APIC Resources, Inc. to issue one share of their common stock for every $0.0001 of dividend declared.  This effectively became an issuance of one APIC Resources, Inc. share for every 100 shares of our stock held by our shareholders at February 5, 2008.  These shares were issued without a prospectus in reliance on Regulation S and pursuant to exemptions from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.  In conjunction with this arrangement we cancelled our 100 shares in APIC Resources, Inc. and as of February 5, 2008, we no longer owned any shares in APIC Resources, Inc.
 
As of March 17, 2009 we do not have any subsidiaries.
 
Intellectual Property
 
We have not filed for any protection of our trademarks for our corporate name. We own the copyright of our logo and all of the contents of our website, www.masspetroleum.com.
 
Research and Development Expenditures
 
We have not spent any amounts on research and development activities since our inception. Our planned expenditures for our operation and exploration programs are summarized under the section of this Annual Report entitled “Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”
 
Government Regulations
 
Our current and future operation and exploration activities are or will be subject to various laws and regulations in US, Canada and possibly Russia in which we do or will conduct our activities. These laws and regulations govern the protection of the environment, conservation, prospecting, development, energy production, taxes, labor standards, occupational health, work safety, toxic substances, chemical products and materials, waste management, and other matters relating to the oil and gas industry.  As we acquire more operating or exploration interests, we will likely experience an increase in government oversight and associated costs.

Regarding our current non-operated interest, we are responsible for a 2.34% share of the costs of (1) any claims arising from the production and sale of hydrocarbons from the interest after August 1, 2006, which is the date we acquired our 2.34% interest in the three wells in Oklahoma; (2) any governmental request or requirement to plug, re-plug or abandon any wells, status or classification, or take any clean up or other actions with respect to our interest; and (3) any claims for personal injury, death, damage to property or damage to the environment arising directly or indirectly from the use, occupation, operation, maintenance or abandonment of our interest. As at November 30, 2008 we have not incurred any such costs.

Permits, registrations or other authorizations will be required for the operation of our future facilities and for our future oil and gas exploration and production activities. These permits, registrations or authorizations are subject to revocation, modification and renewal. Governmental authorities have the power to enforce compliance with these regulatory requirements, the provisions of required permits, registrations or other authorizations, and lease conditions, and violators are subject to civil and criminal penalties, including fines, injunctions or both. Failure to obtain or maintain a required permit may also result in the imposition of civil and criminal penalties. Third parties may have the right to sue to enforce compliance.

We expect to be able to comply with those laws and do not believe that compliance will have a material adverse effect on our competitive position. We have obtained, and intend to obtain all licenses and permits required by all applicable regulatory agencies in connection with any oil and gas operations we carry out and our future exploration activities. We intend to maintain standards of environmental compliance consistent with regulatory requirements. We have obtained, and will obtain at the appropriate time, environmental permits, licenses or approvals required for our operations. We are not aware of any material violations of environmental permits, licenses or approvals issued with respect to our operations. We believe that the operator of the properties in which we have an interest complies with all applicable laws, rules and regulations relating to the control of air emissions on the properties.  At this time, we do not anticipate any material capital expenditures to comply with various environmental requirements.

Compliance with environmental requirements, including financial assurance requirements and the costs associated with the cleanup of any spill, could have a material adverse effect on our capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position. Failure to comply with any laws and regulations may result in the assessment of administrative, civil and criminal penalties, the imposition of injunctive relief or both. Legislation affecting the oil and gas industry is under constant review for amendment or expansion, frequently increasing the regulatory burden. Changes in any of these laws and regulations could have a material adverse effect on business.  In view of the many uncertainties with respect to current and future laws and regulations, including their applicability to us, we cannot predict the overall effect of such laws and regulations on our future operations.

US Regulations

Our operations are or will be subject to various types of regulation at the federal, state and local levels.  Such regulation includes requiring permits for the drilling of wells; maintaining bonding requirements in order to drill or operate wells; implementing spill prevention plans; submitting notification and receiving permits relating to the presence, use and release of certain materials incidental to oil and gas operations; and regulating the location of wells, the method of drilling and casing wells, the use, transportation, storage and disposal of fluids and materials used in connection with drilling and production activities, surface usage and the restoration of properties upon which wells have been drilled, the plugging and abandoning of wells and the transporting of production.

Our operations are or will be also subject to various conservation matters, including the regulation of the size of drilling and of spacing units or proration units, the number of wells which may be drilled in each unit, and the unitization or pooling of oil and gas properties.  In this regard, some states allow the forced pooling or integration of tracts to facilitate exploration while other states rely on voluntary pooling of lands and leases, which may make it more difficult to develop oil and gas properties. In addition, state conservation laws establish maximum rates of production from oil and gas wells, generally limit the venting or flaring of gas, and impose certain requirements regarding the ratable purchase of production.  The effect of these regulations is to limit the amounts of oil and gas we may be able to produce from our wells and to limit the number of wells or the locations at which we may be able to drill.

Operations on properties in which we have an interest are subject to extensive federal, state and local environmental laws that regulate the discharge or disposal of materials or substances into the environment and otherwise are intended to protect the environment.  Numerous governmental agencies issue rules and regulations to implement and enforce such laws, which are often difficult and costly to comply with and which carry substantial administrative, civil and criminal penalties and in some cases injunctive relief for failure to comply.

Some laws, rules and regulations relating to the protection of the environment may, in certain circumstances, impose “strict liability” for environmental contamination.  These laws render a person or company liable for environmental and natural resource damages, cleanup costs and, in the case of oil spills in certain states, consequential damages without regard to negligence or fault.  Other laws, rules and regulations may require the rate of oil and gas production to be below the economically optimal rate or may even prohibit exploration or production activities in environmentally sensitive areas.  In addition, state laws often require some form of remedial action, such as closure of inactive pits and plugging of abandoned wells, to prevent pollution from former or suspended operations.

Legislation has been proposed in the past and continues to be evaluated in Congress from time to time that would reclassify certain oil and gas exploration and production waste as hazardous waste. If such reclassification is successful, it would make these wastes subject to much more stringent storage, treatment, disposal and clean-up requirements, which could have a significant adverse impact on operating costs.  From time to time initiatives to further regulate the disposal of oil and gas wastes are also proposed in certain states and may include initiatives at the county, municipal and local government levels.  These various initiatives could have a similar adverse impact on operating costs.

The regulatory burden of environmental laws and regulations increases our cost and risk of doing business and consequently affects our profitability.  The federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, or CERCLA, also known as the “Superfund” law, imposes liability, without regard to fault, on certain classes of persons with respect to the release of a “hazardous substance” into the environment.  These persons include the current or prior owner or operator of the disposal site or sites where the release occurred and companies that transported, disposed or arranged for the transport or disposal of the hazardous substances found at the site.  Persons who are or were responsible for releases of hazardous substances under CERCLA may be subject to joint and several liability for the costs of cleaning up the hazardous substances that have been released into the environment and for damages to natural resources. It is not uncommon for the federal or state government to pursue such claims. The federal Environmental Protection Agency and various state agencies continue to promulgate regulations that limit the disposal and permitting options for certain hazardous and non-hazardous wastes.

It is also not uncommon for neighboring landowners and other third parties to file claims for personal injury or property or natural resource damages allegedly caused by the release of hazardous substances into the environment.

Canadian Regulations

As our business plan may involve operation or exploration activities in Canada, we expect to comply with Canadian laws and regulations related to the oil and gas industry. Canada has regulatory provisions relating to permits for the drilling of wells, the spacing of wells, the prevention of oil and natural gas waste, allowable rates of production and other matters.  The amount of oil and natural gas produced is subject to control by regulatory agencies in each province that periodically regulate allowable rates of production. 

In addition to the foregoing, our Canadian operations may be affected from time to time by future political developments in Canada and by Canadian federal, provincial and local laws and regulations, such as restrictions on production and export, oil and natural gas allocation and rationing, price controls, tax increases, expropriation of property, modification or cancellation of contract rights, and environmental protection controls.

The Canada Oil and Gas Operations Act provides for the making of regulations concerning the design, safety, construction, installation, inspection, testing, monitoring, operation, maintenance and repair of installations used in the exploration, development and production of oil and gas. The Act prohibits anyone from carrying on any work or activity related to the exploration for or the production of oil or gas unless they first obtain a license or authorization issued by the National Energy Board. As part of the application process, a plan must be submitted which shows that Canadians are being employed and that Canadian goods and services are being used. The National Energy Board may require that certain conditions be fulfilled, for example, that the person obtain appropriate insurance and that environmental studies be carried out.

The Oil and Gas Spills and Debris Liability Regulations govern the limits of liability for spills, authorized discharges and debris emanating or originating from work or activity related to the exploration or production of oil and gas.

The Canada Oil and Gas Drilling Regulations govern the exploration, drilling and conservation of oil and gas and specifies measures to ensure the safety of these operations. These regulations stipulate that no person may drill a well without authorization and approval, which is obtained upon application to the Chief Conservation Officer.

The Registration of Storage Tank Systems for Petroleum Products and Allied Petroleum Products on Federal Lands or Aboriginal Lands Regulations require registration of all specified storage tank systems located on federal lands or aboriginal lands, with the appropriate federal department administering the land. Environment Canada will have access to the consolidated storage tank system records in each appropriate federal department. A prohibition on fuel delivery is provided for any unregistered storage tank systems.

Russian Regulations

If our transaction with Uraltransneft completes, we will be required to comply with all applicable Russian regulations.  According to the laws and regulations of the Russian Federation, organizations are permitted to carry out development and production activities on licensed fields, provided the companies conform to ecological standards. Accordingly, we will likely encounter two separate costs associated with environmental law compliance: costs associated with obtaining licenses and costs associated with obtaining permission from the Russian Ministry of Natural Resources.

Though we did not incur any costs associated with complying with government regulations for the year ended November 30, 2008, if our acquisition of Uraltransneft completes or we acquire other operating, non-operating or exploration interests, we will likely incur such expenses.  However, exact expenses will depend on the location, size and nature of any interests we may acquire.
 
Employees and Consultants
 
As of November 30, 2008, we did not have any full time or part time employees. Our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer work as part time consultants in the areas of business development and management; each contributing approximately 15% of their time to us.  Our Secretary and Treasurer is also involved in our operations and devotes approximately 10% of his time to us.  We currently engage independent contractors in the areas of accounting, geologist services, legal, auditing services, investment banking and corporate development.

Item 2. Properties

The Kingfisher County Wells
 
On August 1, 2006, we purchased a 2.34% non operated interest in three producing wells located in Kingfisher County, Oklahoma, which are described as Stebens #1, Oblander #1-29 and Schneider #1. Our interest gives us the right to receive 2.34% of the operating profits from the operator of the wells, Range Resources Corporation of Fort Worth, Texas.

During the first six months of 2007, these wells produced a combined average of approximately 130 thousand cubic feet of gas per day and 1.2 barrels of oil per day. The 2.34% interest generated an average monthly income of approximately $515 per month during the past five years. We received revenues of $13,098 from our 2.34% interest from February 2007 to November 30, 2008.

The following table describes our interest in the Kingfisher County wells:

Name of Well

Other than our interests in the Oklahoma Properties, we do not own or have any rights to acquire any interests in any other oil and gas properties.

We have an executive office located at Suite 507-700 West Pender Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6C 1G8. From June 1, 2008 to November 30, 2008, we rented office at a cost of $1,833 per month. From December 1, 2008 to May 31, 2008, our offices were provided to us by our former chief financial officer at no charge and we recognized donated rent of $3,000 for the year ended November 30, 2008.

Our common shares are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol “MASP.OB”.  Trading in stocks quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board is often thin and is characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices due to many factors that may be unrelated to a company’s operations or business prospects. We cannot assure you that there will be a market in the future for our common stock.
 
OTC Bulletin Board securities are not listed or traded on the floor of an organized national or regional stock exchange. Instead, OTC Bulletin Board securities transactions are conducted through a telephone and computer network connecting dealers in stocks. OTC Bulletin Board issuers are traditionally smaller companies that do not meet the financial and other listing requirements of a regional or national stock exchange.
 
Our common shares became eligible for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board on July 9, 2007, but no trades were made until October 4, 2007.
 
The following table shows the high and low bid quotations of our common shares on the OTC Bulletin Board. The following quotations reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or commission and may not necessarily represent actual transactions:

Dividends
 
On February 5, 2008 we issued a dividend of $0.000001 to each of our 81,088,000 common shares outstanding as of February 5, 2008.  We satisfied this dividend by arranging for APIC Resources, Inc., a Nevada company incorporated on January 24, 2008, to issue one share of their common stock for every $0.0001 of dividend declared.  This effectively became an issuance of one APIC Resources, Inc. share for every 100 shares of our stock.  These shares were issued pursuant to exemptions from registration under Regulation S and Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.  In conjunction with this arrangement we cancelled 100 shares which we owned in APIC Resources, Inc.  Prior to the declaration of the dividend and cancellation of our shares in APIC Resources, Inc., APIC Resources, Inc. was our wholly owned subsidiary.  As of February 5, 2008, we no longer own any shares in APIC Resources, Inc. and we do not have any subsidiaries.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
 
Since December 1, 2007 to November 30, 2008, we completed one grant of unregistered securities which was not previously reported in our quarterly filings for fiscal 2008:

·  
On June 9, 2008 we granted to Vitaly Melnikov, our Chief Financial Officer, options to purchase 500,000 shares of our common stock in exchange for services rendered and to be rendered. The shares vested and will vest in four equal installments of 125,000 shares each, semi-annually over a period of 2 years beginning on December 6, 2008, and the exercise price is $1.50 per share.
 
We completed the offering of the common stock pursuant to Rule 903 of Regulation S of the Securities Act on the basis that the sale of the common stock was completed in an "offshore transaction", as defined in Rule 902(h) of Regulation S. We did not engage in any directed selling efforts, as defined in Regulation S, in the United States in connection with the sale of the units. Each investor was not a US person, as defined in Regulation S, and was not acquiring the shares for the account or benefit of a US person.
 
Each investor was given adequate access to sufficient information about us to make an informed investment decision. None of the securities were sold through an underwriter and accordingly, there were no underwriting discounts or commissions involved. No registration rights were granted to the recipient.
 
Use of Proceeds from Sale of Registered Securities
 
None during the fiscal year ended November 30, 2008.
 
Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation
 
Safe Harbor
 
This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. These statements relate to future events or our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology including, "could" "may", "will", "should", "expect", "plan", "anticipate", "believe", "estimate", "predict", "potential" and the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions. Actual events or results may differ materially.
 
While these forward-looking statements, and any assumptions upon which they are based, are made in good faith and reflect our current judgment regarding the direction of our business, actual results will almost always vary, sometimes materially, from any estimates, predictions, projections, assumptions or other future performance suggested in this Annual Report.
 
Overview
 
We are engaged in the acquisition of interests and leases of producing oil and natural gas wells. Our plan of operations for the next twelve months is to create revenue from non-operated interests of producing oil and gas wells and to acquire an interest in, and further develop a development stage oil and gas exploration project.
 
We have only recently begun our current operations, have earned nominal revenues and have accumulated a net loss of $1,471,430 from February 14, 2006 (date of inception) to November 30, 2008.
 
We acquired a 2.34% interest in three wells in Kingfisher County, Oklahoma. We do not yet have any exploration projects, but we are looking for new opportunities. We need additional capital to carry out our current business plan. We also anticipate that we will require additional financing in order to pursue full exploration of our acquired claims. We may not have sufficient financing to undertake our current and future business and there is no assurance that we will be able to obtain the necessary financing.
 
We are a start-up stage corporation with limited operations and limited revenues from our business operations. Our auditors have issued us with a going concern opinion. This means that our auditors believe there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an on-going business for the next twelve months unless we obtain additional capital to fund our operations. Our only source of cash at this time is investments by others in our company. We must raise cash to implement our plan of operation.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
As of November 30, 2008, we had cash of $45,994 compared to $229,288 in cash at November 30, 2007.  At November 30, 2008, we had a working capital deficit of $65,430 compared to a working capital surplus of $533,720 at November 30, 2007. Our accumulated deficit was $1,403,281 as at November 30, 2008 compared to $510,745 as at November 30, 2007.
 
Our net loss of $1,471,430 from February 14, 2006 (date of inception) to November 30, 2008 has been funded primarily through the sale of shares of our common stock, along with loans from our management team and other non-related parties. For the fiscal year ended November 30, 2008, we borrowed net funds of $135,000 in debt financing and did not raise any funds from equity financing. Cumulatively from February 14, 2006 (date of inception) to November 30, 2008, we have borrowed total net funds of $135,000 and raised net proceeds of $444,500 from the sale of shares of our common stock.
 
Our cash commitments for the next twelve months are as follows:
 
·  
On August 19, 2008, we engaged Gryphon Trade and Finance, LLC to provide us with financial advisory services in connection with our equity and debt financing activities. We paid Gryphon $17,500 upon entering into the agreement and have agreed to pay an additional $17,500 within ten business days of accepting a funding proposal of $83,000,000 or more. We will also pay Gryphon 3% of the amount of any senior debt capital the company assists us in raising and 5% of the amount of any equity capital raised.
 
·  
On June 9, 2008, we engaged a consultant, Vitaly Melnikov, to act as our Chief Financial Officer. The term of the consulting agreement is from June 9, 2008 to June 6, 2011 and we have agreed to pay Cdn$3,000 per month and issue 500,000 stock options to purchase 500,000 common shares at an exercise price of $1.50 per share to Mr. Melnikov. The stock options will vest at a rate of 125,000 options on December 6, 2008, June 6, 2009, December 6, 2009, and June 6, 2010 and will be exercisable until the earlier of two years following their respective vesting dates or upon termination of the agreement. However, if during the term of the agreement any third party who is not affiliated with us as of the date of the agreement assumes control of the us or acquires substantially all of our assets, all 500,000 stock options will vest immediately and may be exercised for a period of ninety days following the effective date of such change of control or disposition of assets.
 
·  
As at November 30, 2008 we had an outstanding accounts payable balance of $80,114 and accrued liabilities of $2,655.
 
·  
As at November 30, 2008 we owed $25,000 to one of our shareholders, payable on January 31, 2009 or within seven days of our completion of a $1.5 million financing. The loan is unsecured and bears interest at 5% per annum.
 
·  
Also as at November 30, 2008, we owed $30,000 under a loan agreement which is due on October 15, 2009 or when upon our completion of a private placement or receipt of proceeds from other loans. The amount is unsecured and bears interest at a rate of 2% per annual, calculated on the basis of a 360 day year for the actual days elapsed. Interest that is not paid as it becomes due is added to the principal and is treated as part of the principal.
 
As of November 30, 2008, we did not have enough cash to cover all payments to our consultants and the outstanding balances under our two loans, which both come due within the next twelve months. We plan to begin raising equity if and when markets improve. We will attempt to renegotiate our loan agreements or make other arrangements to defer payment on our outstanding loans. There can be no assurance that markets will improve in the near future or that we will be successful in arranging suitable terms for repayment of our outstanding loans. Our ability to continue as a going concern remains uncertain.
 
We used net cash of $243,294 in operating activities for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2008, compared to $146,814 for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2007. For the period from February 14, 2006 (Date of Inception) to November 30, 2008, we used net cash of $421,077 in operating activities. The increase in net cash used to fund our operations was $96,840 from fiscal 2007 to fiscal 2008 due to increased operating activities after we acquired our 2.34% non operated interest in three Kingfisher County oil wells.
 
We used net cash of $75,000 in investing activities to fund a loan to Uraltransneft Co. Ltd. under a loan agreement entered into on July 3, 2008, with the loan bearing interest at a rate of 0.50% per annum. The loan became due on January 1, 2009 but has not yet been repaid. As there is no certainty as to when or if we will ever be repaid, we have recognized a provision for the entire principal sum of $75,000.
 
12

 
On the financing side, we received net cash of $135,000 for the twelve months ended November 30, 2008, compared to $276,500 for the twelve months ended November 30, 2007. The funds received in fiscal 2008 were comprised entirely of proceeds from debt financing as follows:
 
·  
We entered into a loan agreement with one of our shareholders on July 3, 2008 and received a principal sum of $25,000 which is payable on January 31, 2009 or within seven days of our completing a $1,500,000 financing. The loan is unsecured and bears interest at a rate of 5% per annum.
 
·  
We entered into a loan agreement with an unrelated party for $30,000 on October 15, 2008 which is payable in one year or when we complete a private placement or receive proceeds from other loans. The amount is unsecured and bears interest at 2% per annum, calculated on the basis of a 360 day year for the actual number of days elapsed. Interest that is not paid as it becomes due is treated as part of the principal sum.
 
Since our inception to November 30, 2008, we have received net cash from financing activities of $579,500, with $444,500 generated as net cash from private placement sales of our common stock, and $135,000 from debt financing as disclosed in the preceding paragraph. We have used net cash of $112,429 in investing activities from our inception to November 30, 2008, including the loan of $75,000 to Uraltransneft, $3,391 to purchase property and equipment, and $34,038 to purchase our 2.34% non operated interest in three Kingfisher County oil wells.
 
During the fiscal year ended November 30, 2008, we required approximately $35,090 in cash to fund our operations each month. As of November 30, 2008, we had cash of $45,994.  However, we anticipate that beginning December 2008 our monthly expenses will increase to $269,000, which includes $7,000 monthly for general and administrative expenses, $10,000 monthly for consulting and employee expenses, $8,000 monthly for professional fees, $2,500,000 for the acquisition of non-operated working interests and an exploration project and approximately $66,667 monthly for exploration costs.
 
Currently, we are reviewing additional non-operated working interests and leases in Oklahoma, California, Texas, Canada and Russia.
 
We expect to require approximately $3,937,000 in financing to continue our planned operation and exploration over the next year. Our planned acquisition and exploration expenditures for oil and gas interests and properties over the next twelve months (beginning December 2008) are summarized as follows:

Of the $3,937,000 we need for the next 12 months, we had $45,994 in cash as of November 30, 2008. We intend to raise the balance of our cash requirements for the next 12 months ($3,891,006) from private placements or possibly a registered public offering, or through further debt financing. At this time we do not have any commitments from any broker-dealers to provide us with financing.
 
There is no assurance that any financing will be available or if available, on terms that will be acceptable to us. We also may need additional financing to carry out our business plan.
 
Obtaining additional financing will be subject to a number of factors including market conditions, investor acceptance of our business plan, investor sentiment, the availability of credit and our ability to secure credit on reasonable terms. These factors may make the timing, amount, terms and conditions of additional financing unattractive or unavailable to us. If we cannot secure sufficient amounts to fund our business plan, we will have to significantly reduce our spending, delay or cancel planned activities or substantially change our current corporate structure. In such an event, we intend to implement expense reduction plans in a timely manner. However, these actions would have material adverse effects on our business, revenues, operating results, and prospects, resulting in a possible failure of our business.

Results of Operations
 
We earned nominal revenues for the year ended November 30, 2008 from our non-operated working interests in three producing wells. We plan to purchase additional non-operated working interests in existing leases. However, we anticipate that we will incur substantial losses over the next two years.
 
For the fiscal year ended November 30, 2008, we generated revenues of $6,739 from our non-operating interest in the Kingfisher property compared to revenues of $6,359 for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2007. The revenues earned in fiscal 2007 and 2008 are the only revenues we have earned since our inception, amounting to total revenues of $13,098 from February 14, 2006 to November 30, 2008.
 
We have accumulated total expenses of $1,409,528 from February 14, 2006 (date of inception) to November 30, 2008 and incurred expenses of $458,677 for the year ended November 30, 2007. For the year ended November 30, 2008, our expenses increased by $433,747 to $892,424, primarily due to a substantial increase in general and administrative expenses as a result of our increased operations after acquiring our non-operated interest in the Kingfisher county oil wells and consulting fees we paid to our new management team.
 
Our accumulated expenses from February 14, 2006 (date of inception) to November 30, 2008 included $23,812 in depletion and depreciation expenses, and $1,375,424 in general and administrative expenses.  Of our accumulated general and administrative expenses, $439,487 was incurred during the fiscal year ended November 30, 2007 and $57,862 during the period from inception on February 14, 2006 to November 30, 2006.
 
Our general and administrative expenses consist of professional fees, management and consulting fees, bank charges, travel, meals and entertainment, rent, office maintenance, communications (cellular, internet, fax and telephone), courier, postage costs and office supplies. Our professional fees include legal, accounting and auditing fess.
 
On August 19, 2008, we entered into an agreement with Gryphon Trade and Finance LLC to provide us with financial advisory services in connection with our equity raising and senior debt financing activities. We paid $17,500 upon entry into the agreement, and have agreed to pay an additional $17,500 within ten days of accepting a funding proposal of at least $83 million dollars. We will also pay fees of 3% of the amount of any senior debt capital, and 5% of the amount of any equity capital, raised with assistance from Gryphon.
 
From our inception on February 14, 2006 to November 30, 2008 we accumulated a net loss of $1,471,430. For the year ended November 30, 2008 we incurred net loss of $960,685 compared to a net loss of $452,318 for the year ended November 30, 2007.  Our net loss increased by $508,367 from fiscal 2007 to fiscal 2008.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm


To the Directors and Stockholders
MASS Petroleum Inc.
(An Exploration Stage Company)

 
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of MASS Petroleum Inc. (An Exploration Stage Company) as of November 30, 2008 and 2007, and the related statements of operations, cash flows and stockholders' equity (deficit) for the years then ended and accumulated for the period from February 14, 2006 (Date of Inception) to November 30, 2008. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of MASS Petroleum Inc. (An Exploration Company) as of November 30, 2008 and 2007, and the results of its operations, cash flows and stockholders’ equity (deficit) for the years then ended and accumulated for the period from February 14, 2006 (Date of Inception) to November 30, 2008 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has a working capital deficit of $65,430 and has incurred operating losses since inception. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also discussed in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

(formerly LAUD Resources Inc.)
(An Exploration Stage Company)
Notes to the Financial Statements
(Expressed in US dollars)

1.  
Nature of Operations and Continuance of Business
 
The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on February 14, 2006 under the name XTOL Energy Inc. On October 11, 2007, the Company changed its name to LAUD Resources Inc. On June 23, 2008, the Company changed its name from LAUD Resources Inc. to MASS Petroleum Inc. The Company is an Exploration Stage Company, as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No.7 “Accounting and Reporting for Development Stage Enterprises”. The Company’s principal business is the acquisition and exploration of oil and gas properties located in the United States.
 
On January 24, 2008, the Company incorporated APIC Resources, Inc. (“APIC”) as its wholly owned subsidiary. On February 5, 2008, the Company declared a dividend of $0.000001 for each of the Company’s 81,088,000 common shares outstanding as of February 5, 2008. The Company satisfied this dividend by arranging APIC to issue one share of their common stock for every $0.0001 of dividend declared. This effectively became an issuance of one APIC share for every 100 shares of the Company’s stock held by the shareholders as of February 5, 2008. These shares were issued without a prospectus in reliance on Regulation S and pursuant to exemptions from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. In conjunction with this arrangement, the Company cancelled its 100 shares in APIC and as of February 5, 2008, the Company no longer owned any shares in APIC. APIC had no operations or assets prior to the spin off.
 
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not generated significant revenues since inception and has never paid any dividends and is unlikely to pay dividends or generate earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, and the attainment of profitable operations. As at November 30, 2008, the Company has a working capital deficit of $65,430, has not generated significant revenue and has accumulated losses totaling $1,471,430 since inception. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.


2.  
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
a)  
Basis of Presentation
 
These financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and are expressed in US dollars. The Company’s fiscal year-end is November 30.
 
b)  
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the valuation of long-lived assets and oil and gas properties, donated expenses, stock-based compensation and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.
 
c)  
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.
 
d)  
Property and Equipment
 
Property and equipment consists of computer hardware, is recorded at cost and is being amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated life of three years.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
 
e)  
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
 
The Company computes earnings (loss) per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share”. SFAS No. 128 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing earnings (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti dilutive.
 
f)  
Comprehensive Loss
SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income,” establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the financial statements. As at November 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company has no items that represent a comprehensive loss and, therefore, has not included a schedule of comprehensive loss in the financial statements.
 
g)  
Oil and Gas Properties
 
The Company utilizes the full-cost method of accounting for petroleum and natural gas properties.  Under this method, the Company capitalizes all costs associated with acquisition, exploration and development of oil and natural gas reserves, including leasehold acquisition costs, geological and geophysical expenditures, lease rentals on undeveloped properties and costs of drilling of productive and non-productive wells into the full cost pool on a country by country basis. When the Company obtains proven oil and gas reserves, capitalized costs, including estimated future costs to develop the reserves proved and estimated abandonment costs, net of salvage, will be depleted on the units-of-production method using estimates of proved reserves. The costs of unproved properties are not amortized until it is determined whether or not proved reserves can be assigned to the properties. Until such determination is made the Company assesses annually whether impairment has occurred, and includes in the amortization base drilling exploratory dry holes associated with unproved properties.
 
The Company applies a ceiling test to the capitalized cost in the full cost pool. The ceiling test limits such cost to the estimated present value, using a ten percent discount rate, of the future net revenue from proved reserves, based on current economic and operating conditions. Specifically, the Company computes the ceiling test so that capitalized cost, less accumulated depletion and related deferred income tax, do not exceed an amount (the ceiling) equal to the sum of: (A) The present value of estimated future net revenue computed by applying current prices of oil and gas reserves (with consideration of price changes only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements) to estimated future production of proved oil and gas reserves as of the date of the latest balance sheet presented, less estimated future expenditures (based on current cost) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved reserves computed using a discount factor of ten percent and assuming continuation of existing economic conditions; plus (B) the cost of property not being amortized; plus (C) the lower of cost or estimated fair value of unproven properties included in the costs being amortized; less (D) income tax effects related to differences between the book and tax basis of the property. For unproven properties, the Company excludes from capitalized costs subject to depletion, all costs directly associated with the acquisition and evaluation of the unproved property until it is determined whether or not proved reserves can be assigned to the property. Until such a determination is made, the Company assesses the property at least annually to ascertain whether impairment has occurred. In assessing impairment the Company considers factors such as historical experience and other data such as primary lease terms of the property, average holding periods of unproved property, and geographic and geologic data. The Company adds the amount of impairment assessed to the cost to be amortized subject to the ceiling test.
 
h)  
Revenue Recognition
 
The Company recognizes oil and gas revenue when production is sold at a fixed or determinable price, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred and title has transferred, and collectability is reasonably assured.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
 
i)  
Long-lived Assets
 
In accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, the Company tests long-lived assets or asset groups for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of the asset; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and current expectation that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed significantly before the end of its estimated useful life. Recoverability is assessed based on the carrying amount of the asset and its fair value which is generally determined based on the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and the eventual disposal of the asset, as well as specific appraisal in certain instances. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount is not recoverable and exceeds fair value.
 
j)  
Asset Retirement Obligations
 
The Company follows the provisions of SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations,” which establishes standards for the initial measurement and subsequent accounting for obligations associated with the sale, abandonment or other disposal of long-lived tangible assets arising from the acquisition, construction or development and for normal operations of such assets.
 
k)  
Financial Instruments
The fair values of financial instruments, which include cash, amounts receivable, accounts payable, amounts due to related parties and loans payable were estimated to approximate their carrying values due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments.
 
l)  
Income Taxes
 
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. The asset and liability method provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized.
 
m)  
Foreign Currency Translation
 
The Company’s functional and reporting currency is the United States dollar. Occasional transactions may occur in a foreign currency and management has adopted SFAS No. 52 “Foreign Currency Translation”. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at rates of exchange in effect at the date of the transaction. Average monthly rates are used to translate revenues and expenses. Gains and losses arising on translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income. The Company has not, to the date of these financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.
 
n)  
Stock-based Compensation
 
In accordance with SFAS No. 123R “Share Based Payments,” the Company accounts for share-based payments using the fair value method. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.

o)  
Deferred Financing Costs
 
In accordance with the Accounting Principles Board Opinion 21 “Interest on Receivables and Payables”, the Company recognizes debt issue costs on the balance sheet as deferred charges, and amortizes the balance over the term of the related debt. The Company follows the guidance in the EITF 95-13 “Classification of Debt Issue Costs in the Statement of Cash Flows” and classifies cash payments for debt issue costs as a financing activity.
 
p)  
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts – An interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60”. SFAS No. 163 requires that an insurance enterprise recognize a claim liability prior to an event of default when there is evidence that credit deterioration has occurred in an insured financial obligation. It also clarifies how Statement 60 applies to financial guarantee insurance contracts, including the recognition and measurement to be used to account for premium revenue and claim liabilities, and requires expanded disclosures about financial guarantee insurance contracts. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, except for some disclosures about the insurance enterprise’s risk-management activities. SFAS No. 163 requires that disclosures about the risk-management activities of the insurance enterprise be effective for the first period beginning after issuance. Except for those disclosures, earlier application is not permitted. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
 
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. It is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
 
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – an amendment to FASB Statement No. 133”. SFAS No. 161 is intended to improve financial standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about: (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments; (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations; and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, with early adoption encouraged. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, “Business Combinations”.  This statement replaces SFAS 141 and defines the acquirer in a business combination as the entity that obtains control of one or more businesses in a business combination and establishes the acquisition date as the date that the acquirer achieves control. SFAS 141R requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date. SFAS 141R also requires the acquirer to recognize contingent consideration at the acquisition date, measured at its fair value at that date. This statement is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements-an amendment of ARB No. 51”. SFAS No. 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115”.  This statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Most of the provisions of SFAS No. 159 apply only to entities that elect the fair value option. However, the amendment to SFAS No. 115 “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities” applies to all entities with available-for-sale and trading securities. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. The objective of SFAS No. 157 is to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and to expand disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and does not require any new fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are effective for fair value measurements made in fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

In connection with the preparation of this annual report, an evaluation was carried out by our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) as of November 30, 2008.  Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
 
Based on that evaluation, and the material weaknesses outlined in our Management Report on Internal Control Over Financial Report, our management concluded, as of the end of the period covered by this annual report, that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting information required to be disclosed, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information was not accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
 
Management Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting.  Under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of November 30, 2008 using the criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
 
A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of November 30, 2008, the Company determined that there were control deficiencies that constituted material weaknesses, as described below.
 
Certain entity level controls establishing a “tone at the top” were considered material weaknesses. The Company has no independent directors and no audit committee. There is no policy on fraud.  A whistleblower policy is not necessary given the small size of the organization. There is no code of ethics.
2.
Due to the significant number and magnitude of out-of-period adjustments identified during the audit of our financial statements for the year ended November 30, 2008, management has concluded that the controls over the period-end financial reporting process were not operating effectively. Controls were not effective to ensure that significant non-routine transactions, accounting estimates, and other adjustments were appropriately reviewed, analyzed, and monitored on a timely basis. A material weakness in the period-end financial reporting process could result in the Company not being able to meet its regulatory filing deadlines and, if not remediated, has the potential to cause a material misstatement or to miss a filing deadline in the future. Specific items of concern in our management report include the following:
 
· The value of stock based compensation awarded to a senior executive officer was understated due to problems with inputs used to effect the Black Scholes calculation.
 
· Transfer agent and legal fees were under-accrued.
 
· A prepaid expense for oil and gas exploration should have been partially expensed to recognize work exploration activities conducted during the year ended November 30, 2008.
 
· A provision for accounts receivable was added to reflect the uncertainty of collection of the $75,000 loan to Uraltransneft.
 
· Financing costs of $17,500 paid to Gryphon Finance and Trade LLC had to be expensed immediately because no specific financing was identified.
 
· An outstanding cheque payable to one of our trade creditors was held back by us at year end; as a result, we were required to increase the balance of our cash and our accounts payable line items in our financial statements.

Management is currently evaluating remediation plans for the above control deficiencies.

In light of the existence of these control deficiencies, the Company concluded that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by the company’s internal controls.

As a result, management has concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of November 30, 2008 based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by COSO.

Manning Elliott LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, was not required to and has not issued a report concerning the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of November 30, 2008.
 
Changes in Internal Control

During the quarter ended November 30, 2008 there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

None of our directors, executive officers, promoters or control persons has been involved in any of the following events during the past five years:

any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time;

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Compliance Reporting

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires a company’s directors and officers, and persons who own more than ten-percent (10%) of the company’s common stock, to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission reports of ownership on Form 3 and reports of change in ownership on Forms 4 and 5. Such officers, directors and ten-percent stockholders are also required to furnish the company with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file. Based solely on our review of the copies of such forms received by us and on written representations from certain reporting persons, we believe that all Section 16(a) reports applicable to our officers, directors and ten-percent stockholders with respect to the fiscal year ended November 30, 2008 were filed.

Code of Ethics
 
We have not yet adopted a code of ethics that applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions because we have not yet finalized the content of such a code. Companies whose equity securities are listed for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board are not currently required to implement a code of ethics.
 
Director Nominees

As of November 30, 2008 there have been no material changes to the procedures by which security holders may recommend nominees to our Board of Directors.

Audit Committee
 
The functions of the Audit Committee are currently carried out by our Board of Directors.  Our Board of Directors has determined that we do not presently need an audit committee financial expert on our Board of Directors carrying out the duties of the Audit Committee.  Our Board of Directors has determined that the cost of hiring a financial expert to act as one of our directors and to be a member of the Audit Committee or otherwise perform Audit Committee functions outweighs the benefits of having a financial expert on the Audit Committee.
