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 $143,425 during the six months ended June 30, 2006, and, as of June 30, 2006 the Company's current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $381,140. Additionally, to fully develop the area covered by the Licenses, the Company would require substantial amounts in additional funding.

In view of the matters described in the preceding paragraph, recoverability of a substantial 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. The Company’s ability to meet such financing requirements will be subject primarily to the Company’s capability to raise additional funds by way of additional equity and other investments into the Company, 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 operations or meet its obligations on a timely basis.

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 operations.

Ÿ  The Company plans to continue raising additional equity capital and considers such contributions as significant source of funding for the development of its Licenses.
Ÿ   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 can generate adequate cash flows to support its operations.
Ÿ  Nevertheless, additional funding requirements may be necessary before the Company is able to rely solely on the production from the licensed properties for the Company’s cash flow requirements.

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 most of their revenues and operating expenses are denominated in Ukrainian Hrivnas. The Ukrainian Hrivna is not a fully convertible currency outside of 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 rates as at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 were approximately 1 U.S. dollar to 5.0500 Ukrainian Hrivnas. For the periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, the average exchange rate for 1U.S. dollar was $5.0500 and $5.1994 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 subject to time limited licenses has been calculated on a straight-line basis over the economic lives of such assets, estimated to be in the following ranges:

Oil and Gas Facilities Improvements and Workover Costs
2 years
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 June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 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.

Convertible Notes and Other Debt Instruments involving Company’s Common Stock - Convertible notes payable by the Company are accounted for under Emerging Issues Task Force Release No. 00-27 which requires a beneficial conversion feature to be calculated. The value ascribed to the beneficial conversion feature is recorded as a debt discount. Upon conversion of the underlying debt into common stock, a pro-rata share of the unamortized debt discount is recorded as interest expense. Other debt settled with the Group’s common stock is marked to market at the date of settlement and respective gain or loss on its extinguishment is recognized. As of the date of this report no value was apportioned to beneficial conversion feature since the conversion price of the Notes is greater than the current market price for our common stock.

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 the Ukrainian 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.

Comprehensive Income (Loss) - Statement of SFAS 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income,” establishes standards for reporting and displaying of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. Comprehensive income (loss) 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 (loss) be reported in a financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements. Foreign exchange translation gains and losses of the Company are reflected in Comprehensive gains and losses.

Prior to September 30, 2005, foreign exchange translation losses were immaterial and were included in net income and loss.

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.

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 adopted 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.

SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

On or about January 20, 2006, the Company 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. The shareholders of Pari sold 100% of their holdings to Sunrise Energy Resources, Inc. for a consideration for 161,014 newly issued Common shares of the Company, which at the time had an approximate market value of $96,608.

The current consolidated financial statements account for the transaction in accordance with SFAS 141 “Business Combinations” under the “acquisition” treatment, whereby Sunrise Energy Resources, Inc. is considered to be the actual acquirer, and Pari, Ltd. is the acquired entity.

Upon acquisition of Pari, the latter had only monetary assets and liabilities apart from its exploration licenses for Peremyshlyansk, Sheremetyevsk, Niklovitsk, Chukvinsk and Pilipivsk blocks. Following our analysis of the above monetary assets and liabilities we concluded that they were carried at fair values and no adjustments were required.


Based on the market value of the stock issued, the excess of the value of the stock over the book value of the assets has been allocated to the drilling/production concessions owned by Pari. No goodwill was recognized on the acquisition.

Net assets of the acquired entity, Pari, Ltd. before the allocation of the balance to the drilling/production concessions as of December 31, 2005, were as follows:

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.

Esko Pivnich

JSC Ukrneft, Okhtirkaneftegas - In 2003 the Company filed a claim against JSC Ukrneft, Okhtirkaneftegas, with respect to the advance paid by the Company in 2002 in the amount of $198,880 to complete certain capital construction works under PSA # 01-SD dated April 26, 2000 (Notes 4 and 6). In April 2004 after a number of hearings by courts of different circuits, the Supreme Court of Ukraine ordered Okhtirkaneftegas to pay the outstanding balance to the Company without further delays. Despite this final ruling of the Supreme Court, as of August 14, 2006 the balance has not been paid. The Company plans to void PSA # 01-SD and to offset the amount due to it against amounts payable to JSC Ukrneft and its subsidiary Okhtirkaneftegas in 2006.


DP NAK Nedra Ukraini Poltavnaftogasgeologiya - In 2006 The Company sued Poltavneftegasgeologiya for expected profits in the amount of $474,053 resulting from a refusal of Poltavneftegasgeologiya to execute its obligations under the terms of PSA # 01-SD. The Court of Poltavskiy region has ruled in the Company’s favor and obliged Poltavneftegasgeologiya to pay the Company amount of $356,994. Poltavneftegasgeoligia has filed a appeal with inter-regional court of Kiev city. As of August 14, 2006, no new hearings took place and according to management’s estimates there is a high possibility of wining the case. Pending final resolution of this matter, the Company has not recorded this as income.

Taxes - During 2004 the Company was audited by the State Tax Inspection of Podolsk region, Kiev, and was assessed additional VAT and Profit tax fines and penalties thereon in the aggregate amount of $598,324 related to FY2003 and FY2002. The amounts were accrued in the consolidated financial statements in full. Esko Pivnich appealed against the decision to the Civil Court of Kiev and the matter was ruled in favor of Esko Pivnich. However, the tax authorities have filed a counter-appeal with the Supreme Civil Court of Kiev. The Supreme Civil Court resolved that the matter be referred back to Civil Court of Kiev and appointed a committee to conduct an accounting investigation which was completed in February 2006. The tax liability has not been removed or reversed pending the final resolution of the matter.

Pari

Poltavaneftegasgeologiya - Under the terms of the PSA # 10-5/2000 dated July 20, 2000, Poltavaneftegasgeologiya (Note 4) acted as the holder of the main geological and exploration licenses to develop the Sakhalin and Skvortsovsk field and Pari was a major investor, having contributed into the establishment of PSA approximately $31,152. No operating activities have ever been conducted under this agreement and Pari moved to void all its obligations under PSA and obtain a refund of its initial investment in the amount of $31,152. As of the date of this report the matter has not been resolved. Therefore, Pari’s investment amount was written off in 2003.

Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine - During the first half of 2006 the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine mandated a review of the procedures of issuance of approximately 500 production and exploration licenses granted by the Ministry of National Resources of Ukraine in 2004. The Company’s properties Rogan, Rakitnyansk and Karaikozovsk held by Esko Pivnich, and Peremishlyansk, Chukvinsk, Niklovitsk and Pilipovsk held by Pari were also subject to review as part of this process. The purpose of the review was to determine the effectiveness of the procedures involved in the issuance of the licenses. The preliminary findings of the review were referred to the Supreme Court of Ukraine which issued a preliminary conclusion that all of the Company’s licenses were properly issued and are to remain valid. At present, the review is being officially finalized and we expect to receive a final approval upon the conclusion of this review in 2006.

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 from time to time characterized by poor drafting, different interpretations and arbitrary application of laws and regulations 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.


25.
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 is provided below.

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 assigned or transacted in relation to a particular customer, or groups of customers. Limits on the level of credit risk by customer are approved quarterly by the Credit Committee.

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 to a single currency (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 a financial instrument.

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

26.
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 environments.

27.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Effective July 26, 2006, Sunrise Energy Resources, Inc. (the "Company") executed a Convertible Note Agreement to complete a $1,000,000 private placement financing in the form of 6% notes convertible into the Company's common stock at the conversion price of $1.40 per share. The placement proceeds are expected to be made available to the Company in several tranches until September 30, 2006.


MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition

Introduction

The following discussion and analysis addresses changes in our financial condition and results of operations during the year ended December 31, 2005 and periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005.

Management’s key objectives for the first half of 2006 were:

 
Ÿ
Drill approximately 50% of the projected depth of Well #21 of the Company’s Karaikozovsk property;
 
Ÿ
Drill approximately 10% of the projected depth of Well #1 of the Company’s Peremyshlyansk property;
 
Ÿ
Complete the acquisition of Pari Ltd.;
 
Ÿ
Commence geological and research works on Rogan and Rakitnyansk properties;
 
Ÿ
Commence the construction of access roads and other infrastructure on the Company’s Chukvinsk property.

We believe that these key objectives were achieved during the first half of 2006. Our 2006 strategy for the Karaikozovsk field includes the completion and launch of Well #21. We also intend to conduct limited reservoir stimulation on Well #2 to increase the production. We will also focus on the exploration drilling on the Peremishlyansk field and construction of infrastructure on the Chukvinsk property.

In addition, we will continue the exploration activities on the Rogan and Rakitnyansk properties aiming to establish the optimal reservoir development scenarios.

Current Activities

Although the Company completed scheduled workovers and repairs on Well #3 on or around June 21, 2005, during 2005 and six month of 2006, our production was primarily limited to Well #2 of the Karaikozovsk deposit. 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 of 2006.

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 and was 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 facility will enable the Company to reduce crude losses during extraction, separation and storage.

On March 20, 2006, Pari, Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Sunrise Energy Resources, Inc., commenced the preparatory work to drill its first exploration well on the Peremishlyansk block which has possible gas reserves of approximately 420 BCF. The drilling contract has been signed with GP "ZakhidUkrGeologiya", a Ukrainian drilling contractor. The well is designed to be approximately 3700m (12,139 ft) deep. As of June 30, 2006, the Company has drilled approximately 390m (1281ft) of Well #1 of the Peremishlyansk property which represents approximately 11% of its design depth.

According to the Ukrainian Government Reserve Report, Pari, Ltd. has possible reserves of approximately 106.2 BCF of gas in the Niklovitsk field located in the Lviv region of Western Ukraine and 4.1 BCF in the Sheremetivsk field located in the Chernovtsi region of Western Ukraine. Pari, Ltd. holds exploration licenses that expire in July 2009 for the above properties and the following other undeveloped properties located in Western Ukraine: Peremishlyansk, Chukvinsk in Lviv region, and Pilipivsk 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 

The crude oil balances as of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 amounted to 1,382 and 533 Bbls, respectively.

During the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, Esko Pivnich produced 15,904 (2005: 23,979) barrels (“Bbls”) of crude oil and 14,222 (2005: 39,060) thousands of cubic feet (“MCFs”) of natural gas, respectively.

We recognize revenue from the sale of oil when the purchaser takes delivery of the oil at the field. During the six months period ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, Esko Pivnich sold its internally produced 15,088 (2005: 23,875) Bbls of crude oil at the average prices of $53.2 (2005: $36.4) per barrel translating into net revenues from sales of internally produced oil of $802,194 (2005: $868,647). Also for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 the Company sold 14,178 (2005: 39,060) MCFs of internally produced gas at average prices of $0.92 (2005: $0.90) per MCF translating into revenues of $12,990 (2005: $35,482).

Additionally during the six month ended June 30, 2006 we sold 2,188 bbls of purchased crude oil at the average price of $54.87 per barrel translating into revenues of $120,174. Cost of sales amounted to $116,637.
 
All sales agreements were short-term in nature, with the extension option by mutual agreement of the parties. Our crude oil and natural gas are sold at the pipeline measuring node and are subject or free of any transportation costs depending on the terms of specific customer agreements. 

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 the periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 we incurred $88,708 and $175,753, respectively in exploration expenses. The Company expects significant exploration expense in 2005-2008 due to the new operating licenses obtained in 2004-2005, and significant investment obligations attached to them, based on the concluded license agreement with the Ministry of Resources of Ukraine (see above).

During the periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, the Exploration and Resource taxes, amounted to $157,692 and $222,606, respectively.

Other operating income for the period ended June 30, 2006 was mostly due to change in provision for doubtful accounts of $21,144 which resulted from the repayment of amount receivable from Vector NDI for office rent services prepaid by the company during 2004.

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. As at the date of this report no such costs were incurred.

Oil and gas production equipment and workover costs were the main contributor into the depreciation expense for the periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 in the total amounts of $149,963 and $128,717. The increase in the depreciation expense in the first half of 2006 as compared to the respective period of 2005 is primarily due to the launching of storage and separation facility as well as due to workover costs capitalized in the second half of 2005.


Sales, general and administrative expenses

Sales, general and administrative expenses for the periods ended June 30, 2006 decreased to $352,664 from $397,725 for the period ended June 30, 2005 mainly due to the decrease in insurance expenses of $303 (2005: $68,641), professional services expenses of $58,425 (2005: $71,003) and transportation expenses of $37,765 (2005: $41,931). Although there was a significant increase in payroll and payroll related taxes amounting to $136,054 (2005: $62,685) and legal and audit services of $64,812 (2005: $30,552).

In March 2005 the Company insured its business continuity risks. The above insurance premium was paid in respect to March - June 2005 period only.


Interest expense (net) for the periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, amounted to $92,605 and $63,051, respectively.

Interest expense for the period ended June 30, 2005 related primarily to the credit line facility obtained from AB Clearing House at 26% per annum. During the six months ended June 30, 2006 the interest expense was primarily due to amounts received by the Company under a 10% convertible note in the second quarter, as well as to a long term loan obtained from Zaccam Trading (a related party) at 3% and interest accrued on amounts received from former shareholders at weighted average LIBOR rate for the respective period.

Long term credit line facility

On March 5, 2005 the Company entered into an agreement with Zaccam Trading, Ltd. (a related party) to obtain a long term credit line with indebtedness limit of up to $5 million, bearing interest at 3% per annum and due on March 5, 2015. Interest is charged on the actual amount of debt for the period of using the funds. Proceeds were mainly used to finance construction workovers on Well#21 of the Karaikozovsk property.

Convertible Notes

Effective March 30 and June 6, 2006, Sunrise Energy Resources, Inc. executed two separate Convertible Note Subscription Agreements with Millington Solutions Limited to complete a $1.0 million and $2.0 million private placement financing in the form of 10% convertible notes. As of June 30, 2006, the Company has received several tranches aggregating to $917,000, which are covered by the $1.0 million Subscription Agreement effective March 30, 2006 and a tranche of $500,000 covered by the $2.0 million Subscription Agreement effective June 6, 2006. Each tranche will mature in 3 years of the receipt of funds. The interest will accrue at the rate of 10% per annum on the unconverted amount and will be payable annually on each 12 month anniversary of each tranche until conversion or maturity. The Notes can be converted to the Company's Common stock at a conversion price of $2.20 at the holder's option, at any time until the maturity date of each tranche. For Notes converted between interest due dates, the interest will be accrued pro-rata and paid in the form of additional shares of the Company's Common stock. The number of such additional shares will be calculated at the same conversion price. The Convertible Note Subscription Agreements are filed together with this form.

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 and Pari establish steady production of oil and gas in Ukraine. As at June 30, 2006, the Company had total current assets of $2,347,879and total current liabilities of $2,729,019, respectively. As at June 30, 2006, the Company had cash balances of $36,440 and a working capital deficit of $381,140, respectively.


We are currently discussing various financing options with private investors, including with certain of the Company’s shareholders, however, no assurance can be given as to if, when and under what terms 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 during the periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 amounted to $(563,933) and $302,338, respectively. Significant cash outflow in the first half of 2006, as compared to the respective period of 2005, was primarily caused by the increase in inventory balance of $383,264 (2005: increase of $17,268), taxes receivable of $339,937 (2005: decrease of $13,430) as well as due to the reduction of accounts payable of $397,796 (2005: decrease of $199,677) and prepayments for oil and gas of $188,605 (2005: increase of $343,563). The above items overweighed the cash inflows that were mostly due to decrease in accounts receivable of $486,840 (2005: increase of $35,765) and increase in other accounts payable of $237,705 (2005: increase of $94,714).

During the six months ended June 30, 2006 cash provided by financing activities in an amount of $2,018,698 was due to financing obtained under the convertible notes received in the amount of $1,417,000 and long term loan received in an amount of 1,112,000, and mainly was used to finance construction workovers, as well as to repay short term loan payable to AB Clearing House resulting in cash outflow of $514,851. In addition, such amounts were partly used to service the negative cash flow from operations. For the respective period of 2005 there were no operations affecting cash flows from financing activities.

During the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, the Company invested in workovers a total amount of $1,311,840 and $361,081, respectively, which was financed by the above mentioned convertible notes and the long term loan. Additional increase in capital expenditure in 2006 was also caused by the acquisition of Pari, Ltd., the Company’s operating subsidiary which had a pre acquisition deficit of $109,904. Cash inflow recorded on the transaction amounted to $4,549 and effected cash flow from financing activities.

Cash Requirements 

The Company anticipates it will require approximately $4,000,000 to implement its capital expenditure program for the properties covered by the licenses and for the drilling of Well #21 on the Karaikozovsk property and Well#1 on the Peremishlyansk property. The Company believes it will be able to raise these funds through equity, debt and convertible debt financing; however, there is no assurance that such funds will be raised and no certainty as to when such funds may be raised or on what terms.

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 applicable tax regulations under the Ukrainian income tax legislation. 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 may be credited against the Company’s tax liability 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.


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 $143,425 during the period ended June 30, 2006, and, as of June 30, 2006, the Company’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $381,140. 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 substantial portion of the assets 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. For the Company to meet its financing requirements, it would have to raise additional funds, primarily by way of equity contributions, 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 operations.

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 its operations as a going concern:

 
Ÿ
The Company plans to continue to raise additional capital in the equity, debt and convertible debt markets as significant source of funding its development of the properties covered by the Licenses.

 
Ÿ
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.
 
 
Ÿ
Additional funding requirements may also be necessary before the Company is able to rely solely on the cash flow resulting from the production achived on its licensed properties. .
 
Accordingly, our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph in their report on the December 31, 2005 consolidated financial statements expressing 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.

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 most of their revenues and operating expenses are denominated in Ukrainian Hrivnas. The Ukrainian Hrivna is not a fully convertible currency outside of 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 rates as at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 were approximately 1 U.S. dollar to $5.0500 and $5.0500 Ukrainian Hrivnas, respectively. For the periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, the average exchange rate for 1 U.S. dollar was $5.0500 and $5.1994 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. These estimates were prepared by the Company and have not been certified by an 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 the 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 had completed construction of its own gas separation facilities that allows the Company to reduce significantly its cost for services currently purchased under the production sharing agreement (PSA) from the state-owned entity, Okhtirkaneftegas, which is the counter party to the PSA.

Production sharing agreements are customarily awarded upon determination that the field is capable of producing commercial rates of production and that the applicant has complied with all 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 would materially change our oil and gas reserve data and estimated future net cash flows.

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.


ITEM 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Oil and Gas prices

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 the 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 (Hryvna) and then converted to US$. The US$ - Hryvna 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.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Other than as set forth below, there are no outstanding legal proceedings material to the Company to which the Company or any of its 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.

Esko Pivnich

JSC Ukrneft, Okhtirkaneftegas - In 2003 the Company filed a claim against JSC Ukrneft, Okhtirkaneftegas, with respect to the advance paid by the Company in 2002 in amount of $198,880 to complete certain capital construction works under PSA # 01-SD dated April 26, 2000 (Notes 4 and 6). In April 2004 after a number of hearings by courts of different circuits, the Supreme Court of Ukraine ordered Okhtirkaneftegas to pay the outstanding balance to the Company without further delays. Despite this final ruling of the Supreme Court, as of August 14, 2006 the balance has not been paid. The Company plans to void PSA # 01-SD and to offset the amount due to it against amounts payable to JSC Ukrneft and its subsidiary Okhtirkaneftegas in 2006.

DP NAK Nedra Ukraini Poltavnaftogasgeologiya - In 2006 The Company sued Poltavneftegasgeologiya for expected profits in the amount of $474,053 resulting from a refusal of Poltavneftegasgeologiya to execute its obligations under the terms of PSA # 01-SD. The Court of Poltavskiy region has ruled in the Company’s favor and obliged Poltavneftegasgeologiya to pay the Company amount of $356,994. Poltavneftegasgeoligia has filed a appeal with inter-regional court of Kiev city. As of August 14, 2006, no new hearings took place and according to management’s estimates there is a high possibility of wining the case. Pending final resolution of this matter, the Company has not recorded this as income.

Taxes - During 2004 the Company was audited by the State Tax Inspection of Podolsk region, Kiev, and was assessed additional VAT and Profit tax fines and penalties thereon in the aggregate amount of $598,324 related to FY2003 and FY2002. The amounts were accrued in the consolidated financial statements in full. Esko Pivnich appealed against the decision to the Civil Court of Kiev and the matter was ruled in favor of Esko Pivnich. However, the tax authorities have filed a counter-appeal with the Supreme Civil Court of Kiev. The Supreme Civil Court resolved that the matter be referred back to Civil Court of Kiev and appointed a committee to conduct an accounting investigation which was completed in February 2006. Since the investigation no additional hearings have been held. Since the appeal has been won and became effective, it is highly likely that the Company will prevail in these proceedings. Nevertheless, the respective tax liability has not been removed or reversed pending the final resolution of the matter.

Pari

Poltavaneftegasgeologiya - Under the terms of PSA # 10-5/2000 dated July 20, 2000 Poltavaneftegasgeologiya (Note 4) acted as the holder of the main geological and exploration licenses to develop the Sakhalin and Skvortsivsk field and Pari was a major investor, having contributed into the establishment of PSA approximately $31,152. No operating activities have ever been under this agreement and Pari moved to void all its obligations under PSA and obtain a refund of its’ initial investment in amount of $31,152. As of the date of this report the matter has not been resolved. Respectively, the Pari’s investment amount was totally written off in 2003.

Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine - During the first half of 2006 the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine mandated a review of the procedures of issuance of approximately 500 production and exploration licenses granted by the Ministry of National Resources of Ukraine in 2004. The Company’s properties Rogan, Rakitnyansk and Karaikozovsk held by Esko Pivnich, and Peremishlyansk, Chukvinsk, Niklovitsk and Pilipovsk held by Pari were also subject to review as part of this process. The purpose of the review was to determine the effectiveness of the procedures involved in the issuance of the licenses. The preliminary findings of the review were referred to the Supreme Court of Ukraine which issued a preliminary conclusion that all of the Company’s licenses were properly issued and are to remain valid. At present, the review is being officially finalized and we expect to receive a final approval upon the conclusion of this review in 2006.
