As used in this annual report, the terms “we”, “us”, “our”, “Company” and “Sunrise” means Sunrise Energy Resources, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiary, unless otherwise indicated.

All dollar amounts refer to US dollars unless otherwise indicated.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this annual report.

COMPANY OVERVIEW

Sunrise Energy Resources, Inc. (“Sunrise” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on April 1 1991. We are engaged in the development and production of oil and gas properties. Our business activities are primarily conducted in Ukraine and our primary oil and gas property is located in Kharkov Region. Our activities on the property are governed by License number 2489 issued by the Ukrainian State Licensing Agency, on July 2, 2004 for a period of 5 years, which is further subject to the fulfillment of the license agreement investment terms. In addition to the above mentioned license, in 2004 we were granted License Number 2581 and License Number 2507 for the exploration and development of the Rogan and Rakitnyansk sites for a period of 5 years. During 2005 we have conducted a series of geological tests on the new licenses awarded to EP in order to establish the most efficient development scenario.

All of the operating activities of Sunrise Energy Resources Inc. are conducted through its wholly owned subsidiary, TOV Energy-Servicing Company Esko Pivnich (“Esko Pivnich”), a Ukrainian Closed Joint Stock Company (CJSC) established on January 20, 2000 under the laws of Ukraine. The primary business activities of Esko Pivnich are oil and gas exploration, production and distribution in the country of Ukraine. On October 4, 2004 Sunrise Energy Resources Inc. and certain stockholders of Sunrise Energy Resources Inc. entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement and Plan of Reorganization with the shareholders of Esko Pivnich (the “Agreement”). Pursuant to the Agreement, Sunrise Energy Resources Inc. has acquired all of the outstanding common stock of Esko Pivnich, an oil and gas production and development company incorporated and operating in Ukraine. In addition, certain stockholders of Sunrise Energy Resources Inc. sold 5.0 million shares to shareholders of Esko Pivnich (“EP Shareholders”), and the Company also issued 10,479,900 shares to certain EP Shareholders. As a result of the transaction, Sunrise holds Esko Pivnich as a wholly-owned subsidiary and Company’s business focuses on oil and gas production and development in Ukraine.

On or about January 31, 2005, Nevwest Securities Corp has filed with the NASD Form 15c-211 and related information on behalf of the Company to act as a market maker for the Company’s securities. On or about May 23, 2005, Company’s common shares were approved for trading on the OTCBB under the symbol SEYR.

As of December 31, 2005, EP’s estimated total proved reserves were around 7.8 million barrels of oil (“MMBBLS”). All of these reserves are located in the Karaikozovsk’s field in Ukraine. The present value of estimated future net reserves before income taxes discounted at 10% per annum based on market prices at the end of 2005, with assumptions held constant throughout the estimated production life of the reserves (“10% Present Value”) was around $21 million. The amount of the reserves stated in accordance with the Ukrainian statutory guidelines has been appraised by Ukraine’s State Reserve Committee and the net present value of such reserves has been calculated by EP’s specialists. The amount and valuation of the above reserves have not been restated in accordance with the SEC guidelines and have not been reviewed by an independent internationally recognized petroleum engineering company. Sunrise plans to engage an internationally recognized petroleum engineering company in 2006 to perform an independent valuation and restatement of the reserves in accordance with the above mentioned SEC guidelines for the reserves included in the Karaikozovsk’s and other licenses.

On January 20, 2006, Sunrise Energy Resources, Inc. executed a share purchase agreement with the shareholders of Pari, Ltd. The board of directors of Sunrise Energy Resources, Inc. approved the transaction on February 9, 2006.

According to the Ukrainian Government Reserve Report, Pari, Ltd. has proven reserves of approximately 106.2 BCF of gas in Niklovitskoe field located in Lviv region of Western Ukraine and 4.1 BCF in Sheremetyevskoye field located in Chernovtsi region of Western Ukraine. Pari, Ltd. holds an exploration license that expires in July 2009 for the above properties and the following other undeveloped properties located in Western Ukraine: Peremyshlyanskaya, Chukvinskaya in Lviv region, and Pilipovskaya in Ivano-Frankivsk region. In total, the possible reserves of Pari, Ltd. amount to approximately 24 MMBBLS.

Availability of Reports

Sunrise’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-QSB, Current Reports on Form 8-K and amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13 (a) or 15 (a) of the Securities Act of 1934 are available from the Securities and Exchange Commission and can be found on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

Strategy

Our business strategy is to expand production of the Karaikozovsk’s property following the completion of workovers on the existing wells. In addition, we plan to drill two other wells on the property to increase production and produce proven recoverable reserves. We intend to continue conducting geological tests on the new licenses awarded to EP in order to establish the most efficient development scenario. We will increase our reserves, production and cash flow through (a) the acquisition and development of oil and gas properties (b) exploring for new reserves on the existing properties; and (c) optimizing production and value from the existing reserve base.

Drilling Activity

During the 2005, EP carried out the necessary workovers on the existing Wells #2 and #3 on the Karaikozovsk’s property and launching these wells into commercial production. In 2005 the Company entered into an agreement with Chernigivneftegazgeologia, a Ukrainian oil&gas engineering contractor to drill a new production Well #21. The anticipated construction costs of around US$1.2 million are expected to be financed out of the operating cashflow, vendor loans and bank loans.

Customers

During 2005 EP produced approximately 39 MBBLS of crude oil, respectively. In addition, EP produced 59 MMCF of natural gas during 2005. In 2004, EP did not have any production due to the expiration of its previous development license, which was renewed in early 2005. The produced Oil & Gas were separated and primed to pipeline grade at Kachanozovskiy refinery and sold to end-buyers, which were mostly independent oil & gas traders.

Competition

The oil & gas industry is highly competitive, and our future plans can be adversely affected by competition from larger and more established oil & gas companies. We compete for reserve acquisitions, exploration licenses, concessions and marketing agreements against companies with financial resources that may significantly exceed ours.

The Ukrainian government may take broad actions to overhaul the current oil & gas regulations, which could allow the entry into the market of additional oil & gas companies, thus increasing the current competition and changing the business climate. However, these changes would also allow EP to further develop its current properties as well as apply for additional licenses, while using our advantages of operating experience, distribution channels and qualified personnel to further advance our plans.

Government Regulation

Our operations are subject to various levels of governmental controls and regulations in the United States and in Ukraine.  We attempt to comply with all legal requirements in the conduct of our operations and employ business practices that we consider to be prudent under the circumstances in which we operate.  It is not possible for us to separately calculate the costs of compliance with environmental and other governmental regulation as such costs are an integral part of our operations.

In Ukraine legislation affecting the oil and gas industry is under constant review, and may be amended to address industry trends and governmental objectives.  Pursuant to such legislation, various governmental departments and agencies have issued extensive rules and regulations that affect the oil and gas industry, some of which carry substantial penalties for failure to comply.  These laws and regulations can have a significant impact on the industry by increasing the cost of doing business and, consequentially, can adversely affect our profitability.  Inasmuch as new legislation affecting the industry is commonplace and existing laws and regulations are frequently amended or reinterpreted, we are unable to predict the future cost or impact of complying with such laws and regulations.

Regulations Governing Ukrainian Companies

Our operating subsidiary Esko Pivnich was organized in the form of a Closed Joint Stock Company (“CJSC”). Ukrainian CJSC companies are corporate entities with limited liability similar to that awarded to corporations formed under US law. Shareholders of Ukrainian joint stock companies are generally not liable for debts and obligations of the company. In limited liability companies, any transfer of shares by a shareholder to a third party is subject to the pre-emptive right of the other shareholders to acquire such shares at the price offered to a third party.

Under Ukrainian law, a simple majority of voting shares is sufficient to control adoption of most resolutions. Resolutions concerning amendment of the company’s charter, reorganizations (including mergers and/or acquisitions), liquidation, increase in authorized shares, and certain other “significant” transactions require the approval of the shareholders holding two thirds of the outstanding shares.

A Ukrainian limited liability company has no obligation to pay dividends to the holders of common shares. Any dividends paid to the shareholders must be recommended by the board of directors and subsequently approved by a majority vote of shareholders. If approved, dividends may be paid on a quarterly basis.

Regulations Governing Ukrainian Production Sharing Agreements

Production Sharing Agreements (PSA) in Ukraine are made between the State and a particular investor (normally an oil & gas company). According to such PSAs the State assigns to the investor the right to explore and extract mineral resources in the designated subsoil area(s) and to perform the works set forth in the agreement for a specified period of time. In return, the investor undertakes to perform the assigned works at its own cost and risk, with further compensation of the costs and receipt of payment (remuneration) in the form of a portion of the profit production.

The State guarantees to the investor the issuance, in compliance with established procedures, of approvals, quotas, permits (licenses) to use subsoil and carry out business activity associated with the proposed exploration deposits, acts for the provision of mining allocations, documents certifying the right to use the land, as well as other permits related to the use of subsoil, and performance of the works stipulated by the PSA.

5


Profit production (or “profit interest”) means the portion of the actual production which is shared between the investor and the State, and is defined as the difference between produced production and cost-recovery production, which is defined as portion of the produced production which is transferred to the Company for its ownership as reimbursement of its costs.

Title to all production produced under the agreement remains with the State until such time as the minerals are extracted and have been measured in accordance with the terms of the PSA. Once extracted and measured, the portion allocated to the Company is transferred to the Company and is lawfully owned by the Company.

The Company has the right to freely dispose of the portion of its allocated production pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the PSA, which include: to sell in Ukraine, export, exchange, transfer free of charge and perform any other operations with such production. Such production shall not be subject to licensing or quotas during export, or similar restrictions during its sale in the territory of Ukraine.

Taxation in Ukraine

As a Ukrainian resident entity, Esko Pivnich is subject to all applicable Ukrainian taxes, many of which currently impose a significant burden on profits. The most significant Ukrainian taxes and duties affecting Esko Pivnich include:

1.   20% value added tax, applicable only to domestic sale of goods in Ukraine. No value added tax is payable for goods exported tothe
West from Ukraine and denominated in foreign currency.

2.   25% income tax which includes 6% federal income tax, 17% regional income tax and 2% local income tax;

3.   Withholding tax on dividends payable to Sunrise Energy Resources Inc as the overseas shareholder of Esko Pivnich. The tax must be withheld by Esko Pivnich from any amount distributed to Sunrise Energy Resources Inc. The current rate of withholding tax on dividends payable to corporate foreign shareholders is 15%. However, such dividends are subject to and must be made in accordance with regulations contained in the United States – Ukraine tax treaty which limits the tax on dividends payable to Sunrise to 5% (as long as Sunrise holds more than a 10% interest in Esko Pivnich);

4.   A number of payroll related taxes and duties, such as Statutory Pension Fund, Social Insurance Fund, Unemployment Fund, and Emergency Insurance Fund. The official rates applicable to the respective funds in 2005 and in the nearest future are set out below:

Name % rate accrued on the net
payroll and payable by the
Company
% rate accrued on the
total payroll and payable
by the employee

Statutory Pension Fund
  32 .3% 2 .0%
Social Insurance Fund  2 .90% 1 .0%

Emergency Insurance Fund  2 .62% 0 .5%
Personal Income Tax  —       13 .0%
   
Total payable  39 .42% 17 .0%
 

5.  At present, three main taxes are levied on extracted oil and gas in Ukraine. While the rates and computation technique underwentcertain changes during 2002-2006, the applicable rates during 2005 were as follows:

Name Rate per 1 Bbl

Mineral Usage Tax  $       0 .27 $     0 .01
   
Total  $     15 .94 $     0 .08

The Ukrainian tax system is undergoing a major review. New tax laws, including those applicable to value-added tax and income tax, were introduced and/or reviewed in the last four years. The cost of legal and accounting advice attributable to keeping up with changes in the Ukrainian tax laws has been steadily increasing. Similarly, penalties for violations, even inadvertent ones, have also gradually increased over the above-mentioned period. These and other regulations could affect our profitability and the amounts charged to us on production.

Offices and Employees

Sunrise Energy Resource, Inc. carries its operations in the United States from its headquarters located in New York City at 551 Fifth Avenue, Suite 601, New York, NY 10017. EP’s offices in Ukraine are located at the following address: 10a Ryleeva St., Kiev, Ukraine. The Company currently has 46 full time employees, the majority of which are located in Ukraine with the remaining personnel located in Sunrise offices in New York.

Risk Factors

The following offers a brief overview of some of the risk factors to be considered in relation to the business of Sunrise, including its related subsidiaries. Specific risk factors to be considered include, but are not limited to, the following:

Risks and Issues Associated with Sunrise

An investment in Sunrise is highly speculative, involves a considerable degree of risk and is suitable only for persons or entities which have very substantial financial means and who can afford to hold their ownership interests for an indefinite period of time. While various oil and gas investment opportunities are abundant, potential investors should consider the risks that pertain to oil and gas development projects in general, and ventures in Ukraine in particular.

Technical Risk

Return on investment is dependent upon successful oil and gas production from EP’s projects. Sunrise may experience a revenue decrease due to overestimation of reserves and oil or gas production profiles or higher capital costs or operating costs. However, the opposite may occur if reserves or production profiles are underestimated or if the costs are less than forecast. Sunrise may also suffer reduced revenues because of product transportation difficulties, or project delays, neither of which are foreseen. The reserve data set forth in this Annual Report, including the Statement of Reserves, is believed to represent only the most reliable estimates currently available. Estimation of reserves is inherently inexact and the accuracy of any reserve estimate is a function of the quality of available data, engineering and geological interpretation, judgment, production projections, maintenance and development capital, and other uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of recoverable oil and gas. Thus, there can be no guarantee that estimates of the quantities of oil and gas disclosed in the Statement of Reserves will be produced.

We calculate the value of the reserves which represents aggregate future net cash flows from anticipated production based on market prices at year-end. The calculation is performed in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 69, “Disclosures about Oil and Gas producing Activities.” Disclosure of this value and related reserves has been prepared in accordance with SEC Regulation S-X Rule 4-10 and is presented in Note 23 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Market risk

In the event of successful development of additional oil and gas reserves, the marketing of Sunrise’s production of oil and gas from such reserves may be dependent on market fluctuations and the availability of processing and refining facilities and transportation infrastructure, including access to shipping facilities, pipelines and pipeline capacity at economic tariff rates over which Sunrise may have limited or no control. Pipelines may be inadequately maintained and subject to capacity constraints and economic tariff rates may be increased with little or no notice and without taking into account producer concerns. In addition, EP’s ability to export oil and gas may depend on obtaining licenses and quotas, the granting of which may be at the discretion of the relevant regulatory authorities. There may be delays in obtaining such export licenses and quotas leading to the income receivable by Sunrise from the export of oil and gas being adversely affected

7


We may require significant time to achieve positive cash flow from operations. Until such time we will rely almost exclusively on external equity and debt financing to service our working capital and capital expenditure requirements including but not limited to approximately $4 million that will need to be raised in 2006 to meet the workover costs and new well drilling. The Company undertook significant efforts to raise the above financing in 2005 and expects that the financing will be raised during the first half of 2006.

Reliance on strategic relationships

In conducting its business, Sunrise will rely on continuing existing strategic relationships and forming new ones with other entities in the oil and gas industry, such as joint venture parties and certain regulatory and governmental departments. There can be no assurance that its existing relationships will continue to be maintained or that new ones will be successfully formed. Sunrise’s existing assets in Ukraine are subject to agreements with Ukrnafta and the PSA for the Karaikozovsk field.

Well Concentration

The majority of EP’s production comes from its interests in a very small number of oil and gas producing wells. This situation is expected to continue during 2006. Under EP’s development plans for the Karaikozovsk field, well concentration is expected to reduce significantly in 2006 and thereafter. While EP’s production remains concentrated from a relatively small number of wells, the loss or long-term disabling of any one well could have a material adverse affect on Sunrise’s overall production.

Competition

A number of other oil and gas companies operate, and are allowed to bid for exploration and production licenses and other services, in Ukraine and other countries in which Sunrise may operate in the future, thereby providing competition to EP. Larger companies, in particular, may have access to greater resources than Sunrise which may give them a competitive advantage.

Prices for oil and gas

The demand for, and price of, oil and gas is highly dependent on a variety of factors, including international supply and demand, the level of consumer demand, weather conditions, the price and availability of alternative fuels, actions taken by governments and international cartels, and global economic and political developments. International oil prices have fluctuated widely in recent years and may continue to fluctuate significantly in the future. The Company believes it may benefit significantly due to the recent changes in Ukrainian market for gas. In addition, and although not foreseen, the Ukrainian government may oblige domestic producers to sell oil or gas to the state or domestic purchasers at prices well below international levels for indeterminate periods of time.

Currency Exchange Risk

Domestic sales of oil and gas in Ukraine are made in local currency (Hryvnia) and then converted to US$. The US$: Hryvnia exchange rate may move adversely to affect oil and gas prices. In addition, there can be no assurance that the Ukrainian authorities may not introduce price stabilization mechanisms which adversely affect oil and gas prices in US$ terms for EP. While many of Sunrise’s financial obligations are denominated in United States dollars, a number of foreign currency effects may arise from exchange rate movements. Sunrise does not engage in active speculative hedging to minimize exchange rate risk.

Economic and political risk

Sunrise’s operations are in Ukraine where there may be a number of associated risks over which it will have no, or limited, control. These may include contract renegotiation, contract cancellation, economic, social, or political instability or change, hyperinflation, currency non-convertibility or instability and changes of laws affecting foreign ownership, government participation, taxation, working conditions, rates of exchange, exchange control, exploration licensing and petroleum export licensing and export duties as well as government control over domestic oil and gas pricing.

8


Legal systems

Ukraine and other jurisdictions in which Sunrise might operate in the future may have less developed legal systems than more established economies which could result in risks such as (i) effective legal redress in the courts of such jurisdictions, whether in respect of a breach of law or regulation, or in an ownership dispute, being more difficult to obtain; (ii) a higher degree of discretion on the part of governmental authorities; (iii) the lack of judicial or administrative guidance on interpreting applicable rules and regulations; (iv) inconsistencies or conflicts between and within various laws, regulations, decrees, orders and resolutions; or (v) relative inexperience of the judiciary and courts in such matters. In certain jurisdictions the commitment of local business people, government officials and agencies and the judicial system to abide by legal requirements and negotiated agreements may be more uncertain, creating particular concerns with respect to EP’s licenses and agreements for business. These may be susceptible to revision or cancellation and legal redress may be uncertain or delayed. There can be no assurance that joint ventures, licenses, license applications or other legal arrangements will not be adversely affected by the actions of government authorities or others and the effectiveness of and enforcement of such arrangements in these jurisdictions cannot be assured.

Drilling and operating risks

Exploration, development and production activities may be delayed or adversely affected by factors outside the control of Sunrise. These include adverse climatic conditions, the performance of joint venture or farm-in partners on whom EP may be or may become reliant, compliance with governmental requirements, shortage or delays in installing and commissioning plant and equipment or import or customs delays. Problems may also arise due to the quality or failure of locally obtained equipment or interruptions to services (such as power, water, fuel or transport or processing capacity) or technical support which result in failure to achieve expected target dates for exploration or production and/or result in a requirement for greater expenditure. Drilling may involve unprofitable efforts, not only with respect to dry holes and non-commercial wells, which are wells that, though yielding some oil or gas, are not sufficiently productive to justify commercial development or cover operating and other costs. Completion of a well does not ensure a profit on the investment or recovery of drilling, completion and operating costs. Substantial operational risks are involved in the drilling for, development of and production from oil and gas fields, including blow-outs, cratering, explosions, pollution, seepage or leaks, fire, earthquake activity, unusual or unexpected geological conditions and other hazards which may delay, or ultimately prevent, the exploitation of such fields or may result in cost overruns or substantial losses to Sunrise due to substantial environmental pollution or damage, personal injury or loss of life, clean up responsibilities, regulatory investigation and penalties or suspension of operations. Such hazards can also severely damage or destroy equipment, surrounding areas or property of third parties. Damage or loss occurring as a result of such risks may give rise to claims against EP and/or Sunrise.

Environmental Regulation

The Government of Ukraine, the Ministry of Natural Resources, and other competent agencies establish special rules, restrictions and standards for enterprises conducting activities affecting the Ukrainian environment. A principle of Ukrainian environmental law is that any environmental damage caused by an unlawful activity (i.e. activity conducted in violation of existing standards and restrictions) must be fully compensated. As far as Sunrise is aware, the operations at the Karaikozovsk field have been conducted by Ukrnafta’s subsidiary companies under the PSA, in compliance with all applicable Ukrainian environmental rules, regulations and legislation. Furthermore, Sunrise is not aware of any claims, demands, proceedings or other actions against Sunrise or EP in respect of environmental matters.

Uninsured Risks

There may be circumstances where Sunrise’s insurance or that of the operator of a field will not cover or be adequate to cover the consequences of certain events or where the Company may become liable for pollution or other operational hazards against which it either cannot insure or may have elected not to have insured on account of high premium costs or otherwise. Moreover, there can be no assurance that Sunrise will be able to maintain adequate insurance in the future at rates the Board of Directors consider reasonable. Thus, Sunrise may become subject to liability for hazards which cannot be insured against or against which it may elect not to be insured because of high premium costs or other commercial reasons. There can be no assurance that Sunrise will be able to obtain insurance at reasonable rates (or at all), or that any coverage it obtains will be adequate and available to cover any such claims.

9


Dependence on Key Personnel

Sunrise is dependent on the services of certain key executives and personnel for its success. While Sunrise may enter into employment contracts with those persons, the retention of their services cannot be guaranteed. In addition, EP may find it difficult to recruit new executives and employees. The business may suffer if Sunrise fails to attract, hire or retain the necessary personnel or to retain existing employees.

Risks Associated with International Operations

We are subject to risks inherent to international operations, including adverse governmental actions, political risks and expropriation of assets, loss of revenues and the risk of civil unrest or war. Our primary oil and gas properties are located in Ukraine, which until 1990 was part of the Soviet Union. Ukraine retains many of the laws and customs from the former Soviet Union, but has developed and is continuing to develop its own legal, regulatory and financial systems. As the political and regulatory environment changes, we may face uncertainty with respect to the interpretation of our agreements and in the event of dispute, may have limited recourse within the current or future legal and political system.

In accordance with Ukrainian Oil and Gas legislation, properties can be developed and produced only in a form of a Production Sharing Agreements with a division of the Ukrainian state owned company, Ukrnafta. EP develops the Karaikozovsk’s property in accordance and subject to the terms of its PSA with Okhtyrkaneftegaz, which is the local subsidiary of Ukrnafta.

Transferability of our common shares

Sunrise Energy Resources’ common stock is listed on the OTC Bulletin Board quotation system under the symbol SEYR.OB. On or about February 1, 2005 NevWest Securities, a NASD member firm filed Form 15c211 with the NASD to initiate quotation of our post transaction stock on the OTCBB quotation system. Our common stock began quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board on or about May 23, 2005.

Control by our Offices and Directors

In the aggregate, our executive officers and directors control approximately 65% of the outstanding shares of our common stock.  These stockholders, acting together, would be able to significantly influence matters requiring stockholder approval.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

As part of the transaction described above, in exchange of the EP shares, Registrant has issued 10,479,900 shares to a purchaser outside the United States who was the holder of the majority of the outstanding stock of Esko Pivnich. The sale of the shares is exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as the purchaser had full information concerning the business and affairs of Registrant and all certificates issued bear appropriate restrictive legends. No underwriter was involved in the transaction.

Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Name

As described in Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended September 30, 2004, the Company amended and restated its Certificate of Incorporation effective October 1, 2004. A copy of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation was filed as an exhibit to the Form 10-QSB.

The Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation increased the Company’s authorized Capital from 10,000,000 shares of $1.00 par value common stock to 77,500,000 million shares, par value $0.01, of which up to 2,500,000 shares may be designated as preferred shares, par value $0.001. In addition, the name of the Company was changed from Sunrise Energy Services, Inc. to Sunrise Energy Resources, Inc.

ITEM  2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

Our facilities consist of offices in New York City and Kiev, Ukraine, as well as some production properties on the territory of Ukraine. Our executive office in New York is located at 551 Fifth Avenue, Suite 601, New York, NY 10017, and consists of office space obtained under a sub-lease arrangement with Thor Capital, LLC. We are in the process of locating a long-term lease to accommodate our offices and personnel in New York.

Company’s offices in Ukraine are located at 10a Ryleeva Street Kiev, Ukraine. In addition, the Company’s subsidiary owns two operating wells, oil storage bunkers, workers accommodation huts, motor vehicles and supporting infrastructure and rents oil rigs.

Petroleum industry in Ukraine

Domestic Ukrainian extraction represents 21% – 24% (or 18 billion cu m) of demand for natural gas and 10% — 12% (or 4 million ton) of demand for crude oil. The supply-demand gap is addressed by imports. The imports mainly come from the neighboring Russia as well as from Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan which transship their oil & gas via Russia.

With its extensive network of oil and natural gas pipelines, Ukraine is a key transit state for Russian oil and natural gas exports bound for Europe. The continued increase in oil and natural gas production in Russia and in the Caspian Sea region should enable Ukraine to capture additional transit business from these regions. Ukraine is also looking to capture additional oil transit revenues by constructing the Pivdenny oil terminal and Odessa-Brody pipeline.

At present, Ukraine’s annual demand stands at around 70 billion cubic meters of natural gas and 32-34 million tons of crude oil. Average annual oil and gas extractions amount to 18 billion cubic meters of natural gas and 4 million tons of crude oil. Therefore, Ukraine’s extraction covers around 21-24% of the domestic demand for natural gas and 10-12% of the demand for crude oil. This internal demand stimulates domestic production in an effort to displace imports that primarily come from Russia and Turkmenistan.

There are three petroliferous provinces in Ukraine. They are located in the West (the Carpathian region), in the east (the Dnipro-Donetsk region), and in the south (the Black Sea and the Crimea region). According to various estimates, Ukraine’s hydrocarbon resources amount to approximately 7-8 billion tons of fuel equivalent. Ukraine counts at least 300 potentially economically viable oil and gas fields, of which around 200 have been developed.

Exploration and Producing Licenses

During 2004 the Company received geological and exploration license agreements to develop the Karaikozovsk’s, Rogan and Rakitnyansk fields. Particular information with respect to each of these licenses is listed in the following table:

Overview of Regional Geology

The Company’s most explored and developed reserve is located in the Karaikozovsk’s property. All of Sunrise’s activities in 2003 were concentrated in the first production sharing agreement covering the development and exploration of this filed and the license granted to EP in relation to this property. The Karaikozovsk field is located along the northern border of the Dnieper-Donetsk depression. The uplift was discovered in 1957-1958 and involved structural drilling and mapping of the area. Additional studying of the area continued by conducting geophysical work in 1963 which reflected horizons of Mesozoic, Permian, Upper Carboniferous, and in 1971 – by middle and Lower Carboniferous. Through the detailed seismic investigations conducted in 1972-1973, the uplift was prepared for exploration drilling, which began in 1976. In 1981 Well #2 was tasted on the Serpukhovian deposits (producing horizons S-5, S-5a at depths 4981-5196 m). These tests resulted in a flow rate of 75 cu.m/day, using 10mm choke. In 1982 the field was registered on the state balance.

The total number of wells drilled in the area included: 12 wildcats and prospecting wells of which two proved commercially viable. The rocks carbonate-terrigenous thickness was uncovered from Quaternary to Lower Carboniferous (Visean stage).

The tectonic breakthrough divides the deposit into two parts: Lyubivskiy and Karaikozovsky.

The Karaikozovsk’s deposit currently has 2 producing wells internally coded #2 and #3. These wells exhibited the following flow rates:

Well #2

Well #2 had a daily flow rate of around 70 tons of oil per day and 18 thousand tones of natural gas per day tested on 10mm choke.

Well #3

The producing horizon C-5 of Well #3 yielded daily flow rates of 183 tons of oil per day and 47.1 thousand tones of by-product gas per day.

At present, Well #3 flows from the productive layer C4a. After 3 years of operation it will be transferred to productive layer C5. It is envisaged that the condensate layers will be accessed through a new well #21.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Other than as set forth below, there are no outstanding legal proceedings material to the Company to which Sunrise or any of Sunrise’s assets are subject, nor are there any such proceedings known to be contemplated. Management believes that the resolution of all business matters which would have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or operating results have been recorded.

JSC Ukrneft, Okhtyrkaneftegaz

In 2003 the Company initiated legal proceedings against JSC Ukrneft, Okhtyrkaneftegaz, with respect to certain advance payments made by EP in 2002, which totaled $198,880. The payments were made in order to complete certain construction work under the terms of the PSA # 01-SD, dated April 26, 2000 (see: Notes 4 and 6 of the Consolidated Financial Statements). In April 2004 after the conclusion of legal proceedings in courts of first and appellate levels, the Supreme Court of Ukraine ordered Okhtyrkaneftegaz to pay the outstanding balance without further delays. As of March 27, 2006 the balance had not been paid. The Company plans to cancel PSA # 01-SD and to offset this amount against amounts payable to JSC Ukrneft and its subsidiary Okhtirkaneftegas in 2006.

Taxes

During 2004 the Company was examined by the State Tax Inspection of Podolsk region, Kiev, and was assessed additional VAT and Profit tax fines and penalties in the aggregate amount of $598,324 related to 2003 and 2002 years. The amounts were accrued in the respective consolidated financial statements in full (See Note 23 of the Consolidated Financial Statements). “Esko-Pivnich” has appealed and won, but the tax administration has submitted another appeal to the Supreme Civil Court of Kiev. The Supreme Civil Court had addressed the suit back to Civil Court of Kiev and appointed a committee to conduct an accounting investigation which was exercised in February 2006. Since the investigation no hearings took place. Since the appeal has been won and had become effective, the Company believes there is a 100% of winning the case. However, because the government of Ukraine has not paid this balance and the political situation is uncertain, the liability has not been removed or reversed.

We know of no other material, active or pending legal proceedings against us, nor are we involved as a plaintiff in any material proceedings or pending litigation. There are no proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates, or, to the best of our knowledge, any registered or beneficial shareholders are an adverse party or have a material interest adverse to us in a matter concerning Sunrise or our operations.

ITEM 4.   SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the year ended December 31, 2005. The only matter submitted to a vote of our security holders during the year ended December 31, 2004, was a proposal for the Amendment and Restatement of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, which was approved by a written consent of holders holding a total of more than 90% of the outstanding shares. The Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporations became effective September 30, 2004.

ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF PRINCIPAL CONDITIONS AND OPERATIONS

Risk Factors

(SEE ALSO DISCUSSION OFCERTAIN RISK FACTORS IN ITEM 1 OF THIS ANNUAL REPORT)

Much of the information included in this Annual Report includes or is based upon estimates, projections or other “forward looking statements”. Such forward looking statements include any projections or estimates made by us and our management in connection with our business operations. 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 herein.

Such estimates, projections or other “forward looking statements” involve various risks and uncertainties as outlined below. We caution the reader that important factors in some cases have affected and, in the future, could materially affect actual results and cause actual results to differ materially from the results expressed in any such estimates, projections or other “forward looking statements”.

Our common shares are considered speculative during our search for new and additional business opportunities. Prospective investors should consider carefully the risk factors set out below and elsewhere in this Report.

Exploration and Development Risks

Our success is dependent on finding, developing and producing economic quantities of oil and gas. Our future drilling operations may not be successful in finding and producing economic reserves. We are also subject to other operating risks normally associated with the exploration, development and production of oil and gas. These risks include high pressure or irregularities in geological formations, blowouts, cratering, fires, shortages or delays in obtaining equipment and qualified personnel, equipment failure or accidents, and adverse weather conditions, such as winter snowstorms. These risks can result in unfavorable events, or they may result in higher costs and operating delays. We maintain very limited insurance coverage and such coverage may not be effective to fully compensate for these risks. In many cases, such coverage is either not available or is not cost-effective in light of our operations in Ukraine.

Oil and Gas reserve risks

Proved oil and gas reserves are the estimated quantities of natural gas, crude oil and condensate that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions. Reserves are considered proved if economical production is supported by either actual production or conclusive formation tests. Reserves that can be produced economically through application of improved recovery techniques are included in the “proved” classification when successful testing by a pilot project or the operation of an installed program in the reservoir provides support for the engineering analysis on which the project or program is based. Proved developed oil and gas reserves can be expected to be recovered through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods.

Sunrise emphasizes that the volumes of reserves are estimates which, by their nature, are subject to revision. These estimates were made using available geological and reservoir data, as well as production performance data. These estimates are reviewed annually and revised, either upward or downward, as warranted by additional performance data. In addition, our reserves are contained in carbonate reservoirs, and there is substantial uncertainty with regard to carbonate reservoirs as compared to sandstone reservoirs.

We are currently in the process of engaging an independent petroleum engineering firm to review our estimates of proved reserves. The value under their review is supposed to represents estimated future net cash flows, and is based on prices at year-end calculated in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 69, “Disclosures about Oil and Gas producing Activities.” Disclosure of this value and related reserves has been prepared in accordance with SEC Regulation S-X Rule 4-10 and is presented in Note 27 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

16


Marketing and oil prices

Our future success is dependent on being able to transport and market our production either within Ukraine or preferably through export to international markets. Thus, our revenues could be adversely affected by issues which are outside of our control relating to the crude oil transportation infrastructure both within and outside Ukraine. The exportation of oil from Ukraine depends on access to transportation routes, primarily pipeline systems, which can have limited available capacity and are subject to other restrictions. Pipeline access is the preferred and most cost effective method to sell crude oil production to world export market, and thus the Company is subject to the risk that unless the Company obtains access to pipelines to transfer crude oil out of Ukraine, the price at which the Company sells its crude oil may remain well below world market prices. We currently do not have a long-term contract for the transportation or sale of our crude oil. We are producing our oil into the early production facility where it is temporarily stored until it transferred to particular buyers. Our longer-term plans include the shipment of oil by pipeline. We would expect the implementation of these plans to result in higher realized prices than our current marketing arrangements, but we cannot be assured that we will be successful in implementing these plans.

The prices we have received thus far for the sale of our crude oil are significantly less than the full world market price for crude oil. The Company believes the primary reason we have not received the full world market price is because we have not yet been able to produce crude oil in sufficient quantities to attract customers that supply the world oil markets. Unless and until such time as we are able to produce crude oil in sufficient quantities to attract such customers the price at which we are able to sell our production may be significantly lower than the full world market price, and the Company will be at a competitive disadvantage compared to other exploration and production companies that receive full world market price for their crude oil.

In addition, prices of oil and gas are subject to significant volatility in response to changes in supply, market uncertainty and a variety of other factors beyond our control. There are currently no economic markets for our natural gas production and our gas reserves have been given no value in the future net cash flow data presented in this Report.

Limited operating history; anticipated losses; uncertainly of future results

The Company has a limited operating history upon which an evaluation of its prospects can be made. There can be no assurance that the Company will effectively execute its business plan or manage any growth of the business, or that the Company’s future operating and financial forecast will be met. Future development and operating results will depend on many factors, including access to adequate capital, the demand for the Company’s products, the level of product and price competition, the Company’s success in setting up and expanding distribution channels, and whether the Company can control costs. Many of these factors are beyond the control of the Company. In addition, the Company’s future prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses, and difficulties frequently encountered in establishing a new business in the oil and gas industry, which is characterized by intense competition, rapid technological change, highly litigious competitors and significant regulation.

Political Risks

The market in Ukraine is monitored by the government, which could impose taxes or restrictions at any time which would make operations unprofitable and infeasible and cause a write-off of capital investment in Ukrainian opportunities.

A number of factors, beyond the Company’s control and the effect of which cannot be accurately predicted may affect the marketing of the Company’s operations. These factors include political policy on foreign ownership, political policy to open the doors to foreign investors, and political policy on oil and gas production and exports.

Risks Associated with International Markets

The Company transactions have thus far been entirely within Ukraine. However, the future success of the Company will depend in part on its ability to generate sales on international markets. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be successful in generating these sales. In addition, these will be subject to a number of risks, including: foreign currency risk; the risks that agreements may be difficult or impossible to enforce and receivables difficult to collect through a foreign country’s legal system; foreign customers may have longer payment cycles; or foreign countries could impose withholding taxes or otherwise tax the Company’s foreign income, impose tariffs, embargoes, or exchange controls, or adopt other restrictions on foreign trade. In addition, the laws of certain countries do not protect the Company’s offerings to the same extent as the laws of the United States. The Company has taken steps to mitigate these risks through profit sharing agreements with domestic Ukrainian companies, but there can be no assurance in the adequacy of these protection measures.

17


Although not all of our present officers or directors are key to our continuing operations, we rely upon the continued service and performance of these officers and directors, and our future success depends on the retention of these people, whose knowledge of our business and whose technical expertise would be difficult to replace. At this time, none of our officers or directors is bound by employment agreements, and as a result, any of them could leave with little or no prior notice.

Competition for qualified individuals is likely to be intense, and we may not be able to attract, assimilate, or retain additional highly qualified personnel in the future. The failure to attract, integrate, motivate and retain these employees could harm our business.

Regulation

Although we will be subject to regulation under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, management believes that we will not be subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, insofar as we will not be engaged in the business of investing or trading in securities. In the event that we engage in business combinations which result in us holding passive investment interests in a number of entities, we could be subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, meaning that we would be required to register as an investment company and could be expected to incur significant registration and compliance costs. We have obtained no formal determination from the Securities and Exchange Commission as to the status of our company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and, consequently, any violation of such act would subject us to material adverse consequences.

Exposure to foreign exchange rate fluctuations

With the majority of our operations being located in Ukraine, the majority of our revenues and expenses are denominated in Ukrainian hrivnas. Some of our revenues in 2005 may also be denominated in Euro and the US dollars. We currently do not and do not plan in the near future to engage in hedging our exposure to changing foreign exchange rates. Any unfavorable changes in the relevant foreign exchange rates may have a material effect on our financials and performance.

Indemnification of Directors, Officers and Others

Our by-laws contain provisions with respect to the indemnification of our officers and directors against all expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, settlements, and other amounts actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any proceeding arising by reason of the fact that the person is one of our officers or directors) incurred by an officer or director in defending any such proceeding to the maximum extent permitted by Delaware law.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of our company under Delaware law or otherwise, we have been advised that the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission is that such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Future Dilution

Our statutory documents authorize the issuance of 75,000,000 common shares, each with a par value of $0.001. In the event that we are required to issue any additional shares or enter into private placements to raise financing through the sale of equity securities, investors’ interests in our Company will be diluted and investors may suffer dilution in their net book value per share depending on the price at which such securities are sold. If we issue any such additional shares, such issuances also will cause a reduction in the proportionate ownership and voting power of all other shareholders. Further, any such issuance may result in a change in our control.

Anti-Takeover Provisions

We do not currently have a shareholder rights plan or any anti-takeover provisions in our By-laws or corporate charter. Without any anti-takeover provisions, there is no deterrent for a take-over of the Company, which may result in a change in our management and directors.

Reports to Security Holders

Under the securities laws of Delaware, we are not required to deliver an annual report to our shareholders but we intend to send an annual report to our shareholders.

Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition

Introduction

The following discussion and analysis addresses changes in our financial condition and results of operations during the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004.

There is limited or no comparability for revenue and operating expense to the comparable periods in 2003 and 2004, as sales and production were suspended in spring 2003 and were resumed only in January 2005.

Management’s key objectives for 2005 were:

o  

Complete the workovers on Well #2 and Well#3 on the Karaikozovsk’s field;


o  

Commence the construction of separation units on Well #2 and Well#3 on the Karaikozovsk’s field;


o  

Commence conduction of geological and research works on Rogan and Rakitnyansk properties;


We believe that these key objectives were achieved in 2005. Our 2006 strategy for Karaikozovsk’s field includes completion of drilling workovers on Well #21. In addition, we will continue the exploration activities on Rogan and Rakitnyansk properties aiming to establish the optimal reservoir development scenarios.

Current Activities

During 2005, our production was limited to Well #2 and Well#3 of Karaikozovsk’s deposit. During the year we produced 31MBBLS from Well #2 and 8.7MBBLS from Well #3. The reduced production from Well #3 was caused by a reservoir pressure maintenance difficulties as well as increased downtime and lower flow rates caused by an exceptionally cold weather in January and December of 2005. On or around June 21, 2005 the Company completed scheduled workovers and repairs on Well #3.

On or around May 31, 2005 Esko-Pivnich, the Company’s wholly-owned operating subsidiary completed the construction of a new storage and separation facility with a total storage capacity of approximately 200 tons (1,460 bbls). The new facility commenced operations on July 15, 2005. The new facility is designed to decrease the Company’s operating expenses, resulting from reduced fees that were previously paid to Okhtirkaneftegaz, the state-owned Oil &Gas Company for similar services. In addition, the launch of the new facilities will enable the Company to reduce crude losses during extraction, separation and storage.

The Company entered into an agreement with Chernigivneftegazgeologia, a Ukrainian oil&gas engineering contractor to drill a new production Well #21. The anticipated construction costs of around US$1.2 million are expected to be financed out of the operating cashflow, vendor loans and bank loans.

On January 20, 2006, Sunrise Energy Resources, Inc. executed a share purchase agreement with the shareholders of Pari, Ltd. The board of directors of Sunrise Energy Resources, Inc. approved the transaction on February 9, 2006. According to the Ukrainian Government Reserve Report, Pari, Ltd. has proven reserves of approximately 106.2 BCF of gas in Niklovitskoe field located in Lviv region of Western Ukraine and 4.1 BCF in Sheremetyevskoye field located in Chernovtsi region of Western Ukraine. Pari, Ltd. holds an exploration license that expires in July 2009 for the above properties and the following other undeveloped properties located in Western Ukraine: Peremyshlyanskaya, Chukvinskaya in Lviv region, and Pilipovskaya in Ivano-Frankivsk region. In total, the possible reserves of Pari, Ltd. amount to approximately 24 MMBBLS.

Results of Operations

Oil and gas production and revenue -

With the exception of testing flow runs, no commercial volumes were produced from Karaikozovsk’s property during the year ended December 31, 2004 pending the issuance of the new operating license and the conclusion of new production sharing agreement (see above for additional discussion). The crude oil extracted under the test runs conducted during 2004 amounted to 2.552 Bbls of which approximately 1.585 Bbls remained in the Company’s inventory at year end. The crude oil balance as of December 31, 2005 amounted to 533 Bbls.

During the year ended December 31, 2005, Esko Pivnich produced 39,264 barrels (“Bbls”) of crude oil and 52,269 thousands of cubic feet (“MCFs”) of natural gas, respectively. Crude oil and gas production during the first and second quarters 2005 was generally limited to well#2 of Karaikozovsk’s field as commercial production from Well#3 was just establishing. Well#3 was launched into commercial production in the third quarter 2005.

19


We recognize revenue from the sale of oil when the purchaser takes delivery of the oil at the field. During the year ended December 31, 2005 Esko Pivnich sold its internally produced 40,316 Bbls of crude oil at the average prices of $42 per barrel translating into net revenues from sales of internally produced oil of $1,709,644. Also for the respective period of 2005 the Company sold 52,269 MCFs of internally produced gas at average prices of $0.89 translating into revenues of $52,987

Additionally in 2005 we sold 2,160 bbls of purchased crude oil at the average price of $59 per barrel translating into revenues of $127,849.

uring the year ended December 31, 2004, we sold (by physical delivery to the purchaser) 8,782 Bbls of crude oil, kept by the Company in inventory as of December 31, 2003. Average price of crude oil sold in 2004 was approximately $22.42 per Bbl which translated into net revenues of $196,891.

All sales agreements were short-term in nature, with the extension option by mutual agreement of the parties. Our crude oil and natural gas sales are sold at the pipeline measuring node and are not subject to transportation costs.

Exploration

Exploration expense, which includes geological and geophysical expense and the cost of unsuccessful exploratory wells, is recorded as an expense in the period incurred under the successful efforts method of accounting. During 2005 and 2004, we incurred $265,253 and $26,986, respectively in exploration expenses that were comprised of geological and research services of $122,099 (2004: $25,737) and extraction services rendered by third parties of $143,154 (2004: $1,249). The increase in 2005 as compared to 2004 was primarily due to the fact that the new license for Karaikozovsk’s property was issued only in July 2004.

The Company expects significant exploration expense in 2006-2008 due to the new operating licenses obtained in 2004, including licenses for two new fields, Rogan and Rakitnyansk, and significant investment obligations attached to them, based on the concluded license agreement with the Ministry of Resources of Ukraine (see above).

During 2005 and 2004, the Exploration and Resource taxes, levied per barrel of crude oil produced by the Company amounted to $439,510 and $49,216, respectively. For the same periods the exploration and resource taxes levied per thousand of cubic feet of produced gas amounted to $11,140 and $none, respectively.

Depreciation, depletion and amortization

Depreciation, depletion and amortization (“DD&A”) of oil and gas properties is calculated under units of production method, following the successful efforts method of accounting, as described in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Oil and gas production equipment and work over costs contributed the most into the depreciation expense for the year ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 in total amounts of $318,109 and $256,528. The main increase in the depreciation expense in 2005 as compared to 2004 was primarily due to the launching of storage and separation facility as well as due to workover costs capitalized in 2005.

Sales, general and administrative expenses

Sales, general and administrative expenses in 2005 increased to $715,885 from $126,406 in 2004 mainly due to the increase in payroll and payroll related taxes in amounts of $215,474 (2004: $38,244), legal and other professional services of $218,176 (2004: $28,514), transportation expenses of $98,150 (2004: $6,235), as well as office rent of $54,293 (2004: $22,851), respectively. The significant increase in sales, general and administrative expenses in 2005 as compared to 2004 was caused by the extended operations of the Company and increase in the number of the personnel employed.

20


Interest expenses

Interest expense for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, was $142,527 and $51,036, respectively.

Interest expense for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 related to the credit line facility obtained from AB Clearing House at 26% per annum. Also in 2005 interest expense was due to long term loan obtained from Zaccam Trading, related party at 3% and interest accrued on amounts received from former shareholders at weighted average 2005 LIBOR rate.

Proceeds were used mainly for immediate working capital requirements. In 2004 the LZ Group paid the Company $75,280 in interest related to the period prior to the reassignment of the short term loan from Vabank.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since inception, we have financed our operations from private sources. We anticipate continuing losses in the near future while Esko Pivnich establishes steady production of oil and gas in Ukraine. As at December 31, 2005 the Company had total current assets of $1,952,589 and total current liabilities of $3,446,181. As at December 31, 2005, the Company had cash balances of $3,419 and a working capital deficit of $1,493,592.

We are currently discussing various financing options with private investors that include Company shareholders however, no assurance can be provided as to if, when and in what amount such new financing may be received by the Company. Failure to timely receive such financing may cause us to significantly curtail or altogether suspend our capital expenditure program. This may, in turn, have material adverse effect on our production activities.

Cash flow

Cash (used in)/ provided by operating activities for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 amounted to $439,327 and $(262,819), respectively. Significant cash inflow in 2005, as compared to 2004, was primarily caused by the increase in trade accounts payable of $204,466 (2004: decrease of $317,628), other accounts payable and accruals of $384,742 (2004: $202,412), prepayments for oil and gas of $416,049 (2004: $84,818) and taxes payable of $149,947 (2004: $260,893). Although there was a significant cash outflow mostly due to increase in trade accounts receivable of $70,892 (2004: decrease of $251,744), other accounts receivable and prepayments of $242,679 (2004: $439,482) as well as increase in inventories of $123,235 (2004: decrease of $22,569). Main operating activities were suspended in 2004 providing no base for operating cash flows comparison with 2005.

In 2004 cash provided by financing activities in amount of $489,974 was used to service the negative cash flow from operations. In 2005 cash provided by financing activities in amount of $279,900 was due to the long term loan received.

During 2005 and 2004, the Company invested in workovers a total amount of $747,599 and $163,489, respectively, which was financed by shareholder loans and long term loan. Significant decrease in capital expenditure in 2004 was caused by the temporary suspension of the production due to the renewal of the production sharing and main operating license agreements.

Cash Requirements

The Company anticipates it will require around $4,000,000 to implement its capital expenditure program for Karaikozovsk’s property including the completion of separators and new well drilling. The Company believes it will be able to raise these funds through equity and debt financing; however, there is no guarantee that such funds will be raised and no certainty as to when such funds may be raised.

Income Taxes, Net Operating Losses and Tax Credits

Currently, the Company is liable for Ukrainian income tax at a rate of 25% of the pre-tax earnings as defined by the Ukrainian income tax law. The taxation system in Ukraine is evolving as the central government transforms itself from a command to a market-oriented economy. Based on current tax law and the United States — Ukraine income tax treaty, the income tax paid in Ukraine will be creditable tax when determining the Company’s US income taxes payable, if any.

Critical Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements

We have identified the policies below as critical to our business operations and the understanding of our financial statements. The impact of these policies and associated risks are discussed throughout Management’s Discussion and Analysis where such policies affect our reported and expected financial results. A complete discussion of our accounting policies is included in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Functional and Reporting Currency

The reporting currency of the accompanying consolidated financial statements is the US dollars. Ukrainian entities use Ukrainian Hrivna (UAH) as their functional currency since their most revenues and operating expenses are denominated in Ukrainian Hrivnas. The Ukrainian Hrivna is not a fully convertible currency outside of the territory of the Ukraine. The translation of Hrivna denominated assets and liabilities into US dollars for the purpose of these consolidated financial statements does not indicate that the Company could or will in the future realize or settle in US dollars the translated values of these assets and liabilities.

The prevailing exchange rate at December 31, 2005 was approximately 1 U.S. dollar to 5.050 Ukrainian Hrivnas. For the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, the average exchange rate for 1U.S. dollar was 5.1116 and 5.3064, Ukrainian Hrivnas, respectively.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of Sunrise Energy Resources Inc. and other enterprises, where the Company, directly or indirectly exercises control. Control is achieved where the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an invested enterprise so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

All significant intercompany transactions, balances and unrealized gains (losses) on transactions are eliminated on consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates.

Oil and Gas Reserve Information

The information regarding our oil and gas reserves, the changes thereto and the estimated future net cash flows are dependent upon engineering, price and other assumptions used in preparing our annual reserve study. The above estimates were prepared by the Company and have not been certified by a qualified independent petroleum engineering firm. The Company plans to engage such appropriately qualified engineering firm to certify the estimates of our oil and gas reserves in accordance with applicable engineering standards and in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission guidelines. Changes in prices and cost levels, as well as the timing of future development costs, may cause actual results to vary significantly from the data presented. Our oil and gas reserve data represent estimates only and are not intended to be a forecast or fair market value of our assets.

Our oil and gas reserve data and estimated future net cash flows have been prepared assuming we are successful in timely renewal of operating license agreements and negotiating production sharing terms which will allow constant production rates for the expected 10 year period. In accordance with the effective PSA, the profit sharing rate payable by the Company after the initial investment has been recovered equals 20%. (See above detailed description of the main terms of the standardized production sharing agreements concluded with the State of Ukraine). Also in 2005 the Company expects the completion of construction of own gas separation facilities that will allow significantly reduce the cost of services currently purchased under the production sharing agreement (PSA) from the state-owned entity with which we are a contract partner, Okhtirkaneftegas.

Production sharing agreements are customarily awarded upon determination that the field is capable of commercial rates of production and that the applicant has complied with the other terms of its license and exploration contract. However, we are not guaranteed the right to a license renewal and production sharing agreements in the future. If we are not successful in negotiating operating license renewal and a production sharing agreements on acceptable terms, it will materially change our oil and gas reserve data and estimated future net cash flows.

22


Successful Efforts Method of Accounting

We will follow the successful efforts method of accounting for our investments in oil and gas properties, as more fully described in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements following the completion of construction works on well #21 and launching it into commercial production. This accounting method has a pervasive effect on our reported financial position and results of operations.

Revenue Recognition

For revenue from product sales, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements” (“SAB 104”). SAB 104 requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectibility is reasonably assured.

Criterion (1) is met as every delivery is covered by a separate contract and the title passes to the customer only upon customer’s acceptance at point of destination, which is in compliance with criterion (2). Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management’s judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectibility of those amounts. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. The Company defers any revenue for which the product has not been delivered and accepted by its customers. In accordance with the Company’s standard contract terms, once delivered and accepted the product cannot be returned and no claims can be presented to the Company. The Company recognizes revenue on gross basis.

Going Concern

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been presented on the basis that it is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss of $586,795 during the year ended December 31, 2005, and, as of December 31, 2005, the Company’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $1,493,592. Additionally, to fully develop the area covered by the Licenses, the Company needs substantial additional funding.

In view of the matters described in the preceding paragraph, recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying balance sheet is dependent upon continued operations of the Company, which in turn is dependent upon the Company’s ability to meet its financing requirements on a continuing basis, primarily by the Company’s ability to raise additional funds in equity markets, and to succeed in its future operations. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue its existence.

Management has taken the following steps to revise its operating and financial requirements, which it believes are sufficient to provide the Company with the ability to continue in existence.

o  

The Company plans to continue to raise additional capital in the equity markets as significant source of funding the development of the Licenses.


o  

Based on its expected production capabilities from the expenditures that will be made as a result of equity and debt financing, the Company believes that it could generate adequate cash flow. Additional funding requirements may also be necessary before the Company is able to rely solely on the production from the licensed properties for the cash flow of the Company.


Accordingly, our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph in their report on the December 31, 2005 financial statements regarding concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements contain additional note disclosures describing the circumstances that lead to this disclosure by our independent auditors.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

TO THE DIRECTORS AND STOCKHOLDERS OF SUNRISE ENERGY RESOURCES, INC AND SUBSIDIARIES:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Sunrise Energy Resources, Inc. and Subsidiaries (“the Company”) as of December 31, 2005, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004. 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 audit.

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 an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides 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 Sunrise Energy Resources, Inc and Subsidiaries at December 31, 2005, and the related consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss of $586,795 during the years ended December 31, 2005, and, as of December 31, 2005, the Company’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $1,493,592. These factors, among others, including the Company’s ability to develop the properties for which the Company has licenses, as discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

2.    PRESENTATION OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Basis of Presentation These consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).

Going concern — The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been presented on the basis that it is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss of $586,795 during the year ended December 31, 2005, and, as of December 31, 2005, the Company’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $1,493,592. Additionally, to fully develop the area covered by the Licenses, the Company needs substantial additional funding.

In view of the matters described in the preceding paragraph, recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying balance sheet is dependent upon continued operations of the Company, which in turn is dependent upon the Company’s ability to meet its financing requirements on a continuing basis, primarily by the Company’s ability to raise additional funds in equity markets, to maintain present financing, and to succeed in its future operations. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence.

F-6



SUNRISE ENERGY RESOURCES INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Continued)

Management has taken the following steps to revise its operating and financial requirements, which it believes are sufficient to provide the Company with the ability to continue in existence.

o  

The Company plans to continue to raise additional capital in the equity markets as significant source of funding the development of the Licenses.


o  

Based on its expected production capabilities from the expenditures that will be made as a result of equity and debt financing, the Company believes that it could generate adequate cash flow. Additional funding requirements may also be necessary before the Company is able to rely solely on the production from the licensed properties for the cash flow of the Company.


Use of Estimates and Assumptions The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Due to the inherent uncertainty in making those estimates, actual results reported in future periods could differ from such estimates.

Functional and Reporting Currency – The reporting currency of the accompanying consolidated financial statements is the US dollars. Ukrainian entities use Ukrainian Hrivna (UAH) as their functional currency since their most revenues and operating expenses are denominated in Ukrainian Hrivnas. The Ukrainian Hrivna is not a fully convertible currency outside of the territory of the Ukraine. The translation of Hrivna denominated assets and liabilities into US dollars for the purpose of these consolidated financial statements does not indicate that the Company could or will in the future realize or settle in US dollars the translated values of these assets and liabilities.

The prevailing exchange rate at December 31, 2005 was approximately 1 U.S. dollar to 5.0500 Ukrainian Hrivnas. For the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, the average exchange rate for 1U.S. dollar was 5.1116 and 5.3064 Ukrainian Hrivnas, respectively.

3.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Consolidation – The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of Sunrise Energy Resources Inc. and other enterprises, where the Company, directly or indirectly exercises control. Control is achieved where the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an investee enterprise so as to obtain benefits from its activities. All significant intercompany transactions, balances and unrealized gains (losses) on transactions are eliminated on consolidation.

Revenue Recognition For revenue from product sales, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements” (“SAB 104”). SAB 104 requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectibility is reasonably assured.

Criterion (1) is met as every delivery is covered by a separate contract and the title passes to the customer only upon customer’s acceptance at point of destination, which is in compliance with criterion (2). Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management’s judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectibility of those amounts. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. The Company defers any revenue for which the product has not been delivered and accepted by its customers. In accordance with the Company’s standard contract terms, once delivered and accepted the product cannot be returned and no claims can be presented to the Company. The Company recognizes revenue on gross basis.

Property, Plant and Equipment – Oil and gas properties are accounted for using the successful efforts method of accounting whereby property acquisitions, successful exploratory wells, all development costs, and support equipment and facilities are capitalized. Unsuccessful exploratory wells are expensed when a well is determined to be non-productive. Other exploratory expenditures, including geological and geophysical costs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation, depletion and amortization of capitalized costs of oil and gas properties is calculated using the unit-of-production method based upon proved reserves for the cost of property acquisitions and proved developed reserves for exploration and development costs. As of the date of these consolidated financial statements no such costs were incurred.

Production and related overhead costs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation of assets not directly associated with oil production and certain workover costs on properties has been calculated on a straight-line basis over the economic lives of such assets, estimated to be in the following ranges:

Office Improvements   4 - 5 years  
Computer Equipment   3 years  

The gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an asset is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized in the income statement.

Leasing Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risk and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

There were no assets held under financial leases. Operating leases are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost comprises direct cost of extracted oil and gas, its transportation and handling physically in the pipelines or storages prior to the delivery for sale. Inventory also includes various supplies and spare parts.

Cost is calculated using weighted average method. Net realizable value represents the estimated selling price less all estimated costs to completion and costs to be incurred in marketing, selling and distribution.

Accounts Receivable – Accounts receivable are stated at their net realizable value after deducting provisions for uncollectible amounts.

Cash and Cash Equivalents – Cash include petty cash and cash held on current bank accounts. Cash equivalents include short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amount of cash which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value. Cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2004 consisted mainly of the UAH and USD denominated current accounts.

Loans and Other Borrowings All loans and borrowings are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

Borrowing Costs Borrowing costs are recognized as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

Trade and Other Payables Liabilities for trade and other amounts payable are stated at their nominal value.

Value added tax on purchases and sales – Value added taxes (VAT) related to sales is payable to tax authorities upon collection of receivables from customers. VAT on purchases is offset against VAT collected from sales. The tax authorities permit the settlement of VAT on a net basis. VAT related to sales and purchases which have not been settled at the balance sheet date, (VAT deferred) is recognized in the balance sheet on a gross basis and disclosed separately as a current asset and liability. Where provision has been made against debtors deemed to be uncollectible bad debt expense is recorded for the gross amount of the debtor, including VAT. The related VAT deferred liability is maintained until the debtor is settled or until the debtor is written off for statutory accounting purposes.

Income Taxes Income tax has been computed based on the results for the year as adjusted for items that are non-assessable or non-tax deductible.

The Company has adopted Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 (“SFAS 109”), under which the deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax basis used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company intends to settle its tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

Deferred tax is calculated at rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled. It is charged or credited to the income statement, except when it relates to items credited or charged directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity.

Fair value of Financial Instruments — The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. The fair value of financial instruments approximate their carrying values due to the immediate or short term maturity of these financial instruments.

Earnings (Loss) per Share – Earnings (loss) per share are computed in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share”. Basic earnings (loss) per share are calculated by dividing the net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in earnings of an entity. In a loss year, dilutive common equivalent shares are excluded from the loss per share calculation as the effect would be anti-dilutive.

Because the reverse merger was effective December 31, 2004 the 2004 earnings (loss) per share is calculated as if the total shares as of the end of the year were outstanding during the entire year. Prior period earnings (loss) per share are not presented.

Comprehensive Income — Statement of SFAS 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income,” establishes standards for reporting and displaying of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. Comprehensive income is defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Among other disclosures, SFAS 130 requires that all items that are required to be recognized under current accounting standards as components of comprehensive income be reported in a financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements. Foreign exchange measurement gains and losses of the Company are reflected in Comprehensive gains and losses.

Prior to September 30, 2005, foreign exchange measurement losses were immaterial. They have been included in net income and loss as of December 31, 2004. In 2005 they are shown as a factor of comprehensive income.

Retirement Benefit Costs The operating divisions of the Company situated in Ukraine contribute to the state pension, medical and social insurance and employment funds on behalf of all its current employees. Any related expenses are recognized in the income statement as incurred.

Segment Reporting The Company’s business operations are located in Ukraine and relate primarily to marketing and distribution of crude oil and natural gas products. Therefore, business activities are subject to the same risks and returns and addressed in the consolidated financial statements of the Company as one reportable segment.

Reclassifications – Certain reclassifications were done to the 2003 consolidated financial statements in order to present comparative figures in line with 2005 and 2004 consolidated financial statements.

New accounting pronouncements — In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections. SFAS No. 154 replaces Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 20, Accounting changes, and SFAS No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Internal Financial Statements, and changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective application of changes in accounting principle to the prior periods` financial statements, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company adopts SFAS No. 154 on January 1, 2006. Any impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations and earnings per share will be dependent on the amount of any accounting changes or corrections of errors whenever recognized.

On or about October 4, 2004 the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement and Plan of Reorganization for the acquisition of Esko Pivnich, the Company’s operating subsidiary. The transaction was entered into by Sunrise Energy Services, Inc., the Company’s predecessor, and EP and its shareholders.

The current consolidated financial statements account for the transaction in accordance with SFAS 141 “Business Combinations” under the “reverse acquisition” treatment, whereby Esko Pivnich is considered to be the actual acquirer, and Sunrise Energy Services Inc., the dormant shell entity or the nominal acquirer. Since no fair market value can be determined for the issuer’s stock, no goodwill was recognized on the reverse acquisition.

23.    COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Licenses’ commitments – During 2005 the Company received geological and exploration license agreements to develop Karaikozovsk’s, Rogan and Rakitnyansk fields. The following amounts of investments are to be incurred under the terms of those agreements during the periods indicated in the table below:

Period
Amount
Rogan field   2005-2009   2,922,772  
Rakitnyansk field  2005-2009  3,938,614  
Karaikozovsk’s field  2005-2009  4,241,584  

Total     $11,102,970  


Environmental remediation – Under the laws of Ukraine the Company is obligated to conform to certain environmental remediation obligations related to the oil and gas production activities. This amount can not be estimated but is considered to not be material.

Lease commitments – The Company leases office space on a year by year basis and the rent is disclosed in other notes. The Company’s future lease commitments as of December 31, 2005 are as follows:

2006
Office rent   $60,002  

Total  $60,002  


Litigation The Company has been and continues to be the subject of legal proceedings and adjudications from time to time. Management believes that the resolution of all business matters which will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or operating results have been recorded.

JSC Ukrneft, Okhtirkaneftegas In 2003 the Company filed a claim against JSC Ukrneft, Okhtirkaneftegas, in respect to the advance paid by the Company in 2002 in amount of $198,880 to complete certain capital construction works under the terms of PSA # 01-SD dated April 26, 2000 (Notes 4 and 6). In April 2004 after the number of hearings by the courts of different levels, the Supreme Court of Ukraine ordered Okhtirkaneftegas to pay outstanding balance without further delays. As of March 27, 2006 the balance had not been paid. Company plans to cancel PSA # 01-SD and to offset this amount against amounts payable to JSC Ukrneft and its subsidiary Okhtirkaneftegas in 2006.

Taxes – During 2004 the Company was examined by the State Tax Inspection of Podolsk region, Kiev, and was assessed additional VAT and Profit tax fines and penalties in the aggregate amount of $598,324 related to 2003 and 2002 years. The amounts were accrued in the respective consolidated financial statements in full. “Esko Pivnich” appeal and won but the tax administration has submitted another appeal to the Supreme Civil Court of Kiev. The Supreme Civil Court had addressed the suit back to Civil Court of Kiev and appointed a committee to conduct an accounting investigation which was exercised in February 2006. Since the investigation no hearings took place. Since the appeal has been won and became effective, there is a 100% of winning the case. However, because the government of Ukraine has not paid this balance and the political situation is uncertain, the liability has not been removed or reversed.

Ukrainian Tax and Regulatory Environment The government of Ukraine continues to reform the business and commercial infrastructure in its transition to a market economy. As a result laws and regulations affecting businesses continue to change rapidly. These changes are characterized by poor drafting, different interpretations and arbitrary application by the authorities. In particular taxes are subject to review and investigation by a number of authorities enabled by law to impose fines and penalties. While the Company believes it has provided adequately for all tax liabilities based on its understanding of the tax legislation, the above facts may create tax risks for the Company.

24.    RISK MANAGEMENT POLICIES

Management of risk is an essential element of the Company’s operations. The main risks inherent to the Company’s operations are those related to credit risk exposures, market movements in foreign exchange rates and in interest rates. A description of the Company’s risk management policies in relation to those risks follows.

Credit risk The Company is exposed to credit risk which is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss.

The Company structures the levels of credit risk it undertakes by placing limits on the amount of risk accepted in relation to one customer, or groups of customers. Limits on the level of credit risk by customer are approved quarterly by the Credit Committee.

Our sales to customers in excess of 5% were as follows:

12/31/2005
12/31/2004
Agrotemp (oil produced)   $   415,440   --  
Ukrtatnafta (oil produced)  278,997   --  
Varadero (oil produced)  254,765   --  
Torpeda PP (oil produced)  215,131   --  
Agronafta (oil produced)  214,324   $  26,854  
AlphaNafta (oil produced)  163,937   --  
Torpeda PP (oil resold)  73,067   --  
CJSC Ukrnafta (oil produced)  --   170,037  
Other  275,095   --  


Total  $1,890,480   $196,891  



Currency risk – Currency risk is defined as the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates.

The Credit Committee sets limits on the level of exposure by currencies (primarily Ukrainian Hrivna and US Dollar), by entities and in total.

Interest rate risk – Interest rate risk arises from the possibility that changes in interest rates will affect the value of the financial instruments.

Currently, the Company management approach to the interest risk limitation is borrowing at fixed rates and for short periods.

25.    CONCENTRATION OF BUSINESS RISK

The Company’s operating activities are limited to Ukraine. Laws and regulations affecting businesses operating in Ukraine are subject to rapid changes and the Company’s assets and operations could be at risk due to negative changes in the political and business environment.

26.    SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On March 9, 2006, the Company had repaid the short term loan outstanding as at December 31, 2005 in amount of $514,851 obtained from AB Clearing House and respective interest in amount of $11,369 that was accrued in 2005 and not repaid as of December 31, 2005 (See also Notes 14 and 18).

(C)Estimated Proved Oil and Gas Reserves. The Company’s estimate of its net proved and proved developed oil and gas reserves as at December 31, 2005 is as follows. Proved oil and gas reserves are the estimated quantities of crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids which geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions; i.e. prices and costs as of the date the estimate is made.

Prices include consideration of changes in the existing prices provided only by contractual arrangement, but not on escalation based on future conditions. Proved developed reserves are reserves that can expected to be recovered through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods. Additional oil and gas expected to be obtained through the application of fluid injection or other improved mechanisms of primary recovery are included as proved developed reserves only after testing by a pilot project or after the operation of an installed program has confirmed through production response that increased recovery will be achieved.

At December 31, 2005 and 2004 the Company’s proved reserves were as follows:

Liquids
(MBBLS)
Gas
(MMCF)

Balance at December 31, 2004
  7,842   7,772  
     Production  (39 ) (59 )

(D)Standardized measure of Discounted Future Net Cashflows. Future oil, gas and condensate sales, production and development costs have been estimated using prices and costs in effect at the end of the years indicated, except in those instances where the sale of oil and natural gas is covered by contracts, in which case, the applicable contract prices, including fixed and determinable escalations, were used for the duration of the contract. Thereafter, the current spot price was used. All cash flow amounts net to the Company, including income taxes, are discounted at 10%.

Future income tax expenses are estimated using an estimated combined federal and local income tax rate of 25% in Ukraine. Future general and administrative expenses were estimated by the management based on the level of such expenses for similar fields.

Changes in demand for oil and natural gas, inflation and other factors make such estimates inherently imprecise and subject to substantial revision. This table should not be construed to be an estimate of the current market value of the Company’s proved reserves. Management does not rely upon the information that follows in making investment decisions.
