(1) The shares of our Common Stock being registered hereunder are being registered for resale by selling securityholder named in the prospectus. In accordance with Rule 416(a), the registrant is also registering hereunder an indeterminate number of shares that may be issued and resold to prevent dilution resulting from stock splits, stock dividends or similar transactions.  For purposes of estimating the number of shares of our Common Stock to be included in this registration statement, we calculated a good faith estimate of the number of shares that we believe may be issuable pursuant to the equity line financing to account for market fluctuations. Should we have insufficient shares, we will not rely upon Rule 416, but will file a new registration statement to cover the resale of such additional shares should that become necessary.

(2) Estimated solely for purposes of calculating the registration fee in accordance with Rule 457(c) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), based on the average of the closing bid and asked prices for the Registrant's common stock as reported on the Nasdaq OTC Bulletin Board on September 13, 2006.

The Registrant hereby amends this registration statement on such date or dates as may be necessary to delay its effective date until the registrant shall file a further amendment which specifically states that this registration statement shall thereafter become effective in accordance with Section 8(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 or until this registration statement shall become effective on such date as the Commission, acting pursuant to said Section 8(a) may determine.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

This summary highlights some information from this prospectus and it may not contain all of the information that is important to you. You should read the entire prospectus carefully, including the more detailed information regarding our company, the risks of purchasing our common stock discussed under “risk factors,” and our financial statements and the accompanying notes.

In this prospectus, “Sunrise”, “we”, “us,” “Company” and “our”, refer to Sunrise Energy Resources, Inc., and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Tov Energy Servicing Company Esko Pivnich and Pari, Ltd., unless the context otherwise requires. Unless otherwise indicated, the term “year,” “fiscal year” or “fiscal” refers to our fiscal year ending December 31st.  Unless we tell you otherwise, the term “common stock” as used in this prospectus refers to our Common Stock.

The Company

Sunrise Energy Resources, Inc. 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 properties are located in Kharkov, Lviv, Chernovtsi and Ivano-Frankivsk Regions. All of our operating activities are conducted through our wholly owned subsidiaries, TOV Energy-Servicing Company Esko Pivnich (“Esko Pivnich” or “EP”), a Ukrainian Closed Joint Stock Company (CJSC) and Pari, Ltd. (“Pari”), a Ukrainian Limited Liability company, established on January 20 and July 5, 2000, respectively, under the laws of Ukraine. The primary business activities of Esko Pivnich and Pari are oil and gas exploration, production and distribution in the country of Ukraine. The current principal activities of Esko Pivnich and Pari are conducted in the form of production sharing agreements (further referred to as the “PSA”).

On October 4, 2004, Sunrise and certain its stockholders entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Agreement”) with the shareholders of Esko Pivnich. Pursuant to the Agreement, we acquired all of the outstanding common stock of Esko Pivnich, an oil and gas production and development company incorporated and operating in Ukraine. In accordance with the Agreement, certain stockholders of Sunrise 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, Esko Pivnich is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sunrise and our combined business focuses on oil and gas production and development in Ukraine.

On January 20, 2006, we executed a share purchase agreement with the shareholders of Pari, an oil and gas company with properties in the Lviv region of Ukraine. Our board of directors approved the transaction on February 9, 2006.

Our activities on the properties are governed by Licenses issued by the Ukrainian State Licensing Agency in 2004 for a period of 5 years, which are further subject to the fulfillment of the license agreement investment terms. During 2005-2006 we have conducted a series of geological tests on the new licenses awarded to EP and Pari in order to establish the most efficient development scenario.

As of June 30, 2006 we did not have any proved reserves within the meaning of Regulation S-X. 
 
Our principal executive office is located at 551 Fifth Avenue, Suite 2020, New York, New York 10017. Our telephone number in New York including area code is (212) 973-0063.

TRANSACTION SUMMARY
 
TRANSACTION WITH DUTCHESS PRIVATE EQUITIES FUND, LP

On September 7, 2006, Sunrise Energy Resources, Inc.(“Sunrise” or the "Company") and Dutchess Private Equities Fund, L.P. (“Dutchess” or the “Investor”) entered into an agreement (the " Agreement") whereby the Company will, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, have access to a $20,000,000 (twenty million US dollars) equity line of credit. As part of the Agreement the Company is obligated to register shares of its common stock to have in reserve for issuance pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Agreement”) entered into as part of this transaction. (See exhibits attached hereto) 
 
Pursuant to the Agreement, the Investor shall commit to purchase up to $20,000,000 (twenty million US dollars) of our common stock over the course of twenty-four (24) months. The amount that Sunrise shall be entitled to request from each purchase ("Puts") shall be equal to, at Sunrise's election, either (i) $250,000 or; (ii) two hundred percent (200%) of the average daily volume (U.S. market only) of our common stock for the ten (10) trading days prior to the applicable put notice date, multiplied by the average of the three (3) daily closing best bid prices immediately preceding the put date. The put date shall be the date that the Investor receives a put notice of a draw down by the Company. The purchase price shall be set at ninety-six percent (96%) of the lowest closing best posted bid price of the common stock during the pricing period. The pricing period shall be the five (5) consecutive trading days immediately after the put date. There are put restrictions applied on days between the put date and the closing date with respect to that particular Put. During this time, we shall not be entitled to deliver another put notice. Further, the Company shall reserve the right to withdraw that portion of the "Put" that is below seventy five percent (75%) of the lowest closing bid prices for the ten (10) trading day period immediately preceding each put notice.

We are obligated to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") covering the shares of common stock underlying the Agreement within forty five (45) days after the closing date. In addition, we are obligated to use all commercially reasonable efforts to have the registration statement declared effective by the SEC within one hundred and twenty (120) days after the filing date.

RISK FACTORS

Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider the risks described below, in addition to other available information. Each of the following risks could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. All material risks will be discussed in this section. These risks could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline and you could lose all or part of your investment.


RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS
 
WE INCURRED HISTORICAL LOSSES AND HAVE A WORKING CAPITAL DEFICIT. AS A RESULT, WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO GENERATE PROFITS, SUPPORT OUR OPERATIONS, OR ESTABLISH A RETURN ON INVESTED CAPITAL.

We incurred net losses in fiscal 2005 of $586,795. We also incurred losses in the six three months of fiscal 2006 of $143,425. As of December 31, 2005, we had a working capital deficit of $1,493,592. As of March 31, 2006, we had a working capital deficit of $381,140. In addition, we expect to increase our infrastructure and operating expenses to fund our anticipated growth. We cannot assure you that any of our business strategies will be successful or that significant revenues or profitability will ever be achieved or, if they are achieved, that they can be consistently sustained or increased on a quarterly or annual basis.

WE EXPECT OUR OPERATING LOSSES TO CONTINUE.

The Company expects to incur increased operating expenses during the next year, and in all likelihood, thereafter until its development and construction is complete. The amount of net losses and the time required for the Company to reach and sustain profitability are uncertain. The likelihood of the Company's success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, and delays frequently encountered in connection with a new business. There can be no assurance that the Company will ever generate revenue or achieve profitability at all or on any substantial basis.

WE HAVE A MINIMAL OPERATING HISTORY, WHICH RAISES SUBSTANTIAL DOUBT AS TO OUR ABILITY TO SUCCESSFULLY DEVELOP PROFITABLE BUSINESS OPERATIONS. 

We have a limited operating history and our business and prospects must be considered in light of the risks and uncertainties to which early stage companies in the oil and gas industry are exposed. We cannot provide assurances that our business strategy will be successful or that we will successfully address those risks and the risks described herein. Most importantly, if we are unable to secure future capital, we will be unable to continue our operations. We may incur losses on a quarterly or annual basis for a number of reasons, some within and others outside our control. The growth of our business will require the commitment of substantial capital resources. If funds are not available from operations, we will need additional funds. We may seek such additional funding through public and private financing, including debt or equity financing. Adequate funds for these purposes, whether through financial markets or from other sources, may not be available when we need them. Even if funds are available, the terms under which the funds are available to us may not be acceptable to us. Insufficient funds may require us to delay, reduce or eliminate some or all of our planned activities. To successfully execute our current strategy, we will need to improve our working capital position. The report of our independent auditors accompanying our financial statements includes an explanatory paragraph indicating there is a substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern due to recurring losses. We plan to overcome the circumstances that impact our ability to remain a going concern through a combination of equity and debt financings. However, no assurances can be given that we will be able to do so.
 
WE HAVE A LIMITED AMOUNT OF CASH AND ARE LIKELY TO REQUIRE ADDITIONAL CAPITAL TO CONTINUE OUR OPERATIONS FOR THE NEXT TWELVE MONTHS, ASSUMING NO EXERCISE OF THE DUTCHESS EQUITY LINE.

We have a limited amount of available cash and will require additional capital to continue our operations. We estimate that we have funds available to us to sustain our operations for twelve months, assuming no exercise of the Dutchess equity line. The Dutchess equity line described herein would add additional working capital to the extent of the Put Amounts which will sustain our operations for an extended period of time; however, certain draw down restrictions pertaining to the Puts apply which could shorten this period of time. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional funding when needed, or that such funding, if available, will be obtainable on terms acceptable to us. In the event that our operations do not generate sufficient cash flow, or we cannot obtain additional funds if and when needed, we may be forced to curtail or cease our activities, which would likely result in the loss to investors of all or a substantial portion of their investment.


IF WE ARE NOT ABLE TO OBTAIN FINANCING AS WE IMPLEMENT OUR BUSINESS, WE WILL HAVE TO CURTAIL THESE PLANS AND THE VALUE OF YOUR INVESTMENT MAY BE NEGATIVELY AFFECTED.

 If we are unable to obtain financing when needed, we may be forced to curtail our operations, which could negatively affect the value of your investment. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional financing when needed or if available that it will be on commercially reasonable terms.

WE MAY FAIL TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN, IN WHICH EVENT YOU MAY LOSE YOUR ENTIRE INVESTMENT IN OUR SHARES.

Our audited financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that we will continue as a going concern. Our independent auditor has indicated that in its report on our 2005 financial statements that our recurring losses from operations and our difficulties in generating sufficient cash flow to meet our obligations and sustain our operations raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If we fail to continue in business, you will lose your investment in the shares you acquire in this offering.

WE RELY HEAVILY ON OUR MANAGEMENT, THE LOSS OF WHICH COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR BUSINESS, OPERATING RESULTS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION .

Our future success is dependent on having capable seasoned executives with the necessary business knowledge and relationships to execute our business plan. Accordingly, the services of our management and our board of directors, in particular Messrs. Konstantin Tsirulnikov, our Chief Executive Officer and President, and Roman Livson, our Chief Financial Officer, are deemed essential to establishing and maintaining the continuity of our operations. Further, we rely heavily on other individuals. If we were to lose their services, our business could be materially adversely affected. Our performance will also depend on our ability to find, hire, train, motivate and retain other executive officers and key employees.
 
We must continually implement and improve our services, operations, operating procedures and quality controls on a timely basis, as well as expand, train, motivate and manage our work force in order to accommodate anticipated growth and compete effectively in our market segment. Successful implementation of our strategy also requires that we establish and manage a competent, dedicated work force and employ additional key employees. There can be no assurance that our personnel, systems, procedures and controls will be adequate to support our existing and future operations. Any failure to implement and improve such operations could have a material, adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

Our future results of operations involve a number of risks and uncertainties. With any business undertaking and their inherent unforeseeable risk in conducting business, the following paragraphs discuss a number of risks that could impact the company's financial condition and results of operations.

WE ARE IN EARLY STAGE OF DEVELOPMENT AND MAY HAVE TO COMPETE WITH COMPANIES WITH GREATER RESOURCES.

We have no operating history that permits you to evaluate our business and our prospects based on prior performance. You must consider your investment in light of the risks, uncertainties, expenses and difficulties that are usually encountered by companies in their early stages of development. The Company will have to compete with larger companies who have greater funds available for expansion, marketing, and the ability to attract. There can be no assurance that the Company become competitive, or if we become competitive, will remain competitive, should this occur and increased competition could materially adversely affect our operation and financial condition.

ANY 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. 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 for the year ended December 31, 2005. Thus, there can be no guarantee that estimates of the quantities of oil and gas disclosed in the Statement of Reserves will be produced.


EVEN IF WE ARE SUCCESSFUL IN DEVELOPING OIL AND GAS RESERVES, OUR SUCCESS IS DEPENDENT ON MANY OTHER FACTORS.

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. 

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.

WE RELY ON CERTAIN EXISTING 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. 

OUR PRODUCTION IS CONCENTRATED IN A SMALL NUMBER OF WELLS

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 IN THE OIL AND NATURAL GAS INDUSTRY IS INTENSE, WHICH MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR ABILITY TO SUCCEED.
 
The oil and natural gas industry is intensely competitive, and we compete with other companies that are significantly larger and have greater resources.  Many of these companies not only explore for and produce oil and natural gas, but also carry on refining operations and market petroleum and other products on a regional, national or worldwide basis.  These companies may be able to pay more for productive oil and natural gas properties and exploratory prospects or define, evaluate, bid for and purchase a greater number of properties and prospects than our financial or human resources permit.  In addition, these companies may have a greater ability to continue exploration activities during periods of low oil and natural gas market prices.  Our larger competitors may be able to absorb the burden of present and future laws and regulations more easily than we can, which would adversely affect our competitive position.  Our ability to acquire additional properties and to discover reserves in the future will be dependent upon our ability to evaluate and select suitable properties and to consummate transactions in a highly competitive environment.

Further, 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. 

OUR BUSINESS DEPENDS ON THE LEVEL OF ACTIVITY IN THE OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY, WHICH IS SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECTED BY VOLATILE ENERGY PRICES.
 
Our business depends on the level of activity in oil and gas exploration, development and production in markets worldwide. Oil and gas prices, market expectations of potential changes in these prices and a variety of political and economic and weather-related factors significantly affect this level of activity. Oil and gas prices are extremely volatile and are affected by numerous factors, including:
 
 
worldwide demand for oil and gas;
 
the ability of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, commonly called “OPEC,” to set and maintain production levels and pricing;


 
the level of production in non-OPEC countries;
 
the policies of the various governments regarding exploration and development of their oil and gas reserves;
 
local weather;
 
fluctuating pipeline takeaway capacity;
 
advances in exploration and development technology;
 
the political environment surrounding the production of oil and gas;
 
level of consumer product demand; and
 
the price and availability of alternative fuels.

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. 

OUR BUSINESS INVOLVES NUMEROUS OPERATING HAZARDS.

Our operations are subject to certain hazards inherent in drilling for oil or natural gas, such as blowouts, reservoir damage, loss of production, loss of well control, punchthroughs, craterings, or fires. The occurrence of these events could result in the suspension of drilling operations, weather, equipment shortages, damage to or destruction of the equipment involved and injury or death to rig personnel. Operations also may be suspended because of machinery breakdowns, abnormal drilling conditions, failure of subcontractors to perform or supply goods or services or personnel shortages. Damage to the environment could also result from our operations, particularly through oil spillage or extensive uncontrolled fires. We may also be subject to damage claims by other oil and gas companies.

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.

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 Pari/or Sunrise.

WE ARE SUBJECT TO EXCHANGE RATE FLUCTUATIONS WHICH COULD AFFECT OUR FINANCIAL CONDITION.

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. 


GOVERNMENTAL LAWS AND REGULATIONS MAY ADD TO OUR COSTS OR LIMIT OUR DRILLING ACTIVITY.
 
Our operations are affected from time to time in varying degrees by governmental laws and regulations. We may be required to make significant capital expenditures to comply with governmental laws and regulations. It is also possible that these laws and regulations may in the future add significantly to our operating costs or may significantly limit drilling activity.  Failure to comply with these laws and regulations may result in the suspension or termination of our operations and subject us to administrative, civil and criminal penalties, including assessment of natural resource damage.

Specifically, 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 and Pari’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. 

WE ARE SUBJECT TO UKRAINIAN ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS

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. 

WE ARE SUBJECT TO RISKS INHERENT TO 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. 


RISKS RELATED TO HOLDING OUR SECURITIES

EXISTING STOCKHOLDERS MAY EXPERIENCE SIGNIFICANT DILUTION FROM THE SALE OF OUR COMMON STOCK PURSUANT TO THE INVESTMENT AGREEMENT AND CONVERSION OF THE CONVERTIBLE NOTES.

The sale of our common stock to Dutchess  Private  Equities  Fund, LP in accordance  with the  Investment  Agreement, and the conversion of the convertible notes  may have a  dilutive  impact on our shareholders. As a result, our net income per share  could  decrease in future periods and the market price of our common stock could decline. In addition, the lower our stock price is at the time we exercise our put option, the more shares of our common stock we will have to issue to Dutchess  Private Equities Fund,  LP in order to drawdown on the Equity Line. If our stock price decreases, then our existing  shareholders  would experience  greater dilution.  At a stock price of $0.65 or less, we would have to issue approximately 40,000,000 shares registered  under this prospectus in order to drawdown on the full Equity Line. Accordingly, we may be required to file one or more registration statements to register the entire amount of shares underlying the Equity Line.

The perceived risk of dilution may cause our stockholders to sell their shares, which would contribute to a decline in the price of our common stock. Moreover, the perceived risk of dilution and the resulting downward pressure on our stock price could encourage investors to engage in short sales of our common stock. By increasing the number of shares offered for sale, material amounts of short selling could further contribute to progressive price declines in our common stock.


DUTCHESS PRIVATE EQUITIES FUND LP WILL PAY LESS THAN THE THEN-PREVAILING MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK WHICH COULD CAUSE THE PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK TO DECLINE.

Our  common  stock to be issued  under the  Investment  Agreement  will be purchased  at a four percent (4%)  discount  to the lowest  closing  bid price  during the five trading days immediately following our notice to Dutchess Private Equities Fund, LP of our election to exercise our "put" right.  Dutchess Private Equities Fund, LP has a financial incentive to sell our shares immediately upon receiving the  shares to realize the profit between the discounted  price and the market price. If Dutchess Private Equities Fund, LP sells our shares, the price of our common stock may decrease.  If our stock price decreases,  Dutchess  Private  Equities Fund, LP may have a further  incentive  to sell such shares.  Accordingly, the discounted sales price in the  Investment  Agreement may cause the price of our common stock to decline.

OUR STOCK IS THINLY TRADED, AS A RESULT YOU MAY BE UNABLE TO SELL AT OR NEAR ASK PRICES OR AT ALL IF YOU NEED TO LIQUIDATE YOUR SHARES.

The shares of our common stock are thinly-traded on the OTC Bulletin Board, meaning that the number of persons interested in purchasing our common shares at or near ask prices at any given time may be relatively small or non-existent. This situation is attributable to a number of factors, including the fact that we are a small company which is relatively unknown to stock analysts, stock brokers, institutional investors and others in the investment community that generate or influence sales volume, and that even if we came to the attention of such persons, they tend to be risk-averse and would be reluctant to follow an unproven, early stage company such as ours or purchase or recommend the purchase of our shares until such time as we became more seasoned and viable. As a consequence, there may be periods of several days or more when trading activity in our shares is minimal or non-existent, as compared to a seasoned issuer which has a large and steady volume of trading activity that will generally support continuous sales without an adverse effect on share price. We cannot give you any assurance that a broader or more active public trading market for our common shares will develop or be sustained, or that current trading levels will be sustained. Due to these conditions, we can give investors no assurance that they will be able to sell their shares at or near ask prices or at all if you need money or otherwise desire to liquidate their shares.
 
OUR COMMON STOCK IS CONSIDERED A "PENNY STOCK."

Our common stock is considered to be a "penny stock" if it meets one or more of the definitions in Rules 15g-2 through 15g-6 promulgated under Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These include but are not limited to, the following: (i) the stock trades at a price less than $5.00 per share; (ii) it is not traded on a "recognized" national exchange; (iii) it is not quoted on The Nasdaq Stock Market, or even if quoted, has a price less than $5.00 per share; or (iv) is issued by a company with net tangible assets less than $2.0 million, if in business more than a continuous three years, or with average revenues of less than $6.0 million for the past three years. The principal result or effect of being designated a "penny stock" is that securities broker-dealers cannot recommend the stock but must trade it on an unsolicited basis.

BROKER-DEALER REQUIREMENTS MAY AFFECT TRADING AND LIQUIDITY.

Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 15g-2 promulgated thereunder by the SEC require broker-dealers dealing in penny stocks to provide potential investors with a document disclosing the risks of penny stocks and to obtain a manually signed and dated written receipt of the document before effecting any transaction in a penny stock for the investor's account. Potential investors in our common stock are urged to obtain and read such disclosure carefully before purchasing any shares that are deemed to be "penny stocks." Moreover, Rule 15g-9 requires broker-dealers in penny stocks to approve the account of any investor for transactions in such stocks before selling any penny stock to that investor. This procedure requires the broker-dealer to (i) obtain from the investor information concerning his or her financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives; (ii) reasonably determine, based on that information, that transactions in penny stocks are suitable for the investor and that the investor has sufficient knowledge and experience as to be reasonably capable of evaluating the risks of penny stock transactions; (iii) provide the investor with a written statement setting forth the basis on which the broker-dealer made the determination in (ii) above; and (iv) receive a signed and dated copy of such statement from the investor, confirming that it accurately reflects the investor's financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives. Compliance with these requirements may make it more difficult for holders of our common stock to resell their shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of them in the market or otherwise.

OUR COMMON STOCK MAY BE VOLATILE, WHICH SUBSTANTIALLY INCREASES THE RISK THAT YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SELL YOUR SHARES AT OR ABOVE THE PRICE THAT YOU MAY PAY FOR THE SHARES.

Because of the limited trading market expected to develop for our common stock, and because of the possible price volatility, you may not be able to sell your shares of common stock when you desire to do so. The inability to sell your shares in a rapidly declining market may substantially increase your risk of loss because of such illiquidity and because the price for our common stock may suffer greater declines because of its price volatility.


The price of our common stock that will prevail in the market after this offering may be higher or lower than the price you may pay. Certain factors, some of which are beyond our control, that may cause our share price to fluctuate significantly include, but are not limited to, the following:

 
·
variations in our quarterly operating results;
 
·
loss of a key relationship or failure to complete significant transactions;
 
·
additions or departures of key personnel; and
 
·
fluctuations in stock market price and volume.

Additionally, in recent years the stock market in general, and the over-the-counter markets in particular, have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. In some cases, these fluctuations are unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of the underlying company. These market and industry factors may materially and adversely affect our stock price, regardless of our operating performance. In the past, class action litigation often has been brought against companies following periods of volatility in the market price of those companies' common stock. If we become involved in this type of litigation in the future, it could result in substantial costs and diversion of management attention and resources, which could have a further negative effect on your investment in our stock.

MANY OF OUR SHARES OF COMMON STOCK WILL IN THE FUTURE BE AVAILABLE FOR RESALE. ANY SALES OF OUR COMMON STOCK, IF IN SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS, ARE LIKELY TO DEPRESS THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR SHARES .

Assuming all of the 5,000,000 shares of common stock we are offering under this prospectus are sold in our offering, and all of the shares of common stock issued and issuable to the selling securityholder are sold, we would have 11,099,609 shares that are freely tradable without the requirement of registration under the Securities Act of 1933. 11,060,609 shares of our common stock are “restricted securities” as defined under Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933. Of these shares, approximately 65% of our shares are owned by our officers, directors or other “affiliates.” These individuals may only sell their shares, absent registration, in accordance with the provisions of Rule 144.

Restricted securities may only be publicly sold pursuant to registration under the Securities Act of 1933, or pursuant to Rule 144 or some other exemption that may be available from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933. Rule 144 entitles each person holding restricted securities for a period of one year, and affiliates who own non-restricted shares of our common stock, to sell every three months in ordinary brokerage transactions an amount of shares which does not exceed the greater of 1% of the shares of our common stock outstanding or, assuming the shares of common stock are then traded on Nasdaq, the average weekly trading volume during the four calendar weeks prior to said sale. Any substantial sales pursuant to Rule 144, including the potential sale of our affiliates' shares of our common stock, may have an adverse effect on the market price of shares of our common stock, and may hinder our ability to arrange subsequent equity or debt financing or affect the terms and time of such financing.

WE HAVE NOT PAID, AND DO NOT INTEND TO PAY, CASH DIVIDENDS IN THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE.

We have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock and do not intend to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. We intend to retain future earnings, if any, for reinvestment in the development and expansion of our business. Dividend payments in the future may also be limited by other loan agreements or covenants contained in other securities which we may issue. Any future determination to pay cash dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors and depend on our financial condition, results of operations, capital and legal requirements and such other factors as our board of directors deems relevant.
 
OTHER RISK FACTORS

There are several risks and uncertainties, relating to the Company's ability to raise money and grow its business. These risks and uncertainties can materially affect the results predicted. Other risks are the Company's limited operating history, the limited financial resources, domestic or global economic conditions, activities of competitors and the presence of new or additional competition, and changes in Federal or State laws and conditions of equity markets.

The Company's future operating results over both the short and long term will be subject to annual and quarterly fluctuations due to several factors, some of which are outside the control of the Company. These factors relate to fluctuating market demand for our services, and general economic conditions.

At this time we have not entered into substantive discussions with regard to any particular property. However, it is our intention to actively seek acquisitions of properties which will be accretive to our shareholders. We will specifically target underdeveloped properties and properties with certain production level that can be significantly increased. We will focus on acquisitions with total consideration in the range of $5-$30 million. We will aim, where possible to structure the consideration payments in the form of our stock, convertible debentures and other instruments. In addition, we plan, where possible to utilize the leveraged financing mechanisms that will allow us to borrow against the acquired assets.
 

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE

The selling securityholder may sell shares from time to time in negotiated transactions, brokers’ transactions or a combination of such methods at market prices prevailing at the time of the sale or at negotiated prices.


DILUTION

Purchasers of our common stock in this offering will experience dilution in net tangible book value per share. Dilution in net tangible book value per share represents the difference between the offering price of our common stock in this offering and the net tangible book value of our common stock (the difference between our tangible assets and our liabilities, divided by the number of shares of common stock outstanding) immediately after the sum of all shares offered hereby.

As of June 30, 2006, our negative net tangible book value was ($1,447,831), or ($.08) per share of our outstanding common stock. After giving the effect to the sale of a maximum number of shares of common stock in this offering at the hypothetical offering price of $0.5 per share our net tangible book value as of June 30, 2006 would have been $1,052,169 or $.05 per share of our outstanding common stock. This represents an immediate increase in our tangible book value of $.13 to current security holders and an immediate dilution of $.45 per share to new investors purchasing the shares in this offering. The above calculation assumes that no intangible assets will result from the investment of the proceeds.

The following table illustrates the foregoing information as of June 30, 2006 with respect to dilution to new investors:

You should be aware that there is an inverse relationship between our stock price and the number of shares to be issued under the Investment Agreement to Dutchess. That is, should our stock price decline, we would be required to issue a greater number of shares under the Investment Agreement for a particular dollar amount under any specific Put.

TRANSACTION SUMMARY
 
TRANSACTION WITH DUTCHESS PRIVATE EQUITIES FUND, LP

On September 7, 2006, Sunrise Energy Resources, Inc.(“Sunrise” or the "Company") and Dutchess Private Equities Fund, L.P. (“Dutchess” or the “Investor”) entered into an agreement (the " Agreement") whereby the Company will, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, have access to a $20,000,000 (twenty million US dollars) equity line of credit. As part of the Agreement the Company is obligated to register shares of its common stock to have in reserve for issuance pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Agreement”) entered into as part of this transaction. (See exhibits attached hereto) 
 
Pursuant to the Agreement, the Investor shall commit to purchase up to $20,000,000 (twenty million US dollars) of our common stock over the course of twenty-four (24) months. The amount that Sunrise shall be entitled to request from each purchase ("Puts") shall be equal to, at Sunrise's election, either (i) $250,000 or; (ii) two hundred percent (200%) of the average daily volume (U.S. market only) of our common stock for the ten (10) trading days prior to the applicable put notice date, multiplied by the average of the three (3) daily closing best bid prices immediately preceding the put date. The put date shall be the date that the Investor receives a put notice of a draw down by the Company. The purchase price shall be set at ninety-six percent (96%) of the lowest closing best posted bid price of the common stock during the pricing period. The pricing period shall be the five (5) consecutive trading days immediately after the put date. There are put restrictions applied on days between the put date and the closing date with respect to that particular Put. During this time, we shall not be entitled to deliver another put notice. Further, the Company shall reserve the right to withdraw that portion of the "Put" that is below seventy five percent (75%) of the lowest closing bid prices for the ten (10) trading day period immediately preceding each put notice.

We are obligated to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") covering the shares of common stock underlying the Agreement within forty five (45) days after the closing date. In addition, we are obligated to use all commercially reasonable efforts to have the registration statement declared effective by the SEC within one hundred and twenty (120) days after the filing date.
 

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The selling security holders will act independently of us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale and may sell the shares from time to time:

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 winning 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.

 
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.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Company Overview

Sunrise Energy Resources, Inc. 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 properties are located in Kharkov, Lviv, Chernovtsi and Ivano-Frankivsk Regions. All of our operating activities are conducted through our wholly owned subsidiaries, TOV Energy-Servicing Company Esko Pivnich (“Esko Pivnich” or “EP”), a Ukrainian Closed Joint Stock Company (CJSC) and Pari, Ltd. (“Pari”), a Ukrainian Limited Liability company, established on January 20 and July 5, 2000, respectively, under the laws of Ukraine. The primary business activities of Esko Pivnich and Pari are oil and gas exploration, production and distribution in the country of Ukraine. The current principal activities of Esko Pivnich and Pari are conducted in the form of production sharing agreements (further referred to as the “PSA”).

On October 4, 2004, Sunrise and certain its stockholders entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Agreement”) with the shareholders of Esko Pivnich. Pursuant to the Agreement, we acquired all of the outstanding common stock of Esko Pivnich, an oil and gas production and development company incorporated and operating in Ukraine. In accordance with the Agreement, certain stockholders of Sunrise 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, Esko Pivnich is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sunrise and our combined business focuses on oil and gas production and development in Ukraine.

On January 20, 2006, we executed a share purchase agreement with the shareholders of Pari, an oil and gas company with properties in the Lviv region of Ukraine. Our board of directors approved the transaction on February 9, 2006.

Our activities on the properties are governed by Licenses issued by the Ukrainian State Licensing Agency in 2004 for a period of 5 years, which are further subject to the fulfillment of the license agreement investment terms. During 2005-2006 we have conducted a series of geological tests on the new licenses awarded to EP and Pari in order to establish the most efficient development scenario.

As of June 30, 2006, we did not have any proved reserves within the meaning of Regulation S-X.
 
The current principal activities of Esko Pivnich and Pari are conducted in the form of production sharing agreements (PSA), which as of June 30, 2006 included the following:

Strategy 

Our business strategy is to expand production of the Karaikozovsk property following the completion of workovers on the existing wells. In addition, we plan to drill other wells on the properties granted to EP and Pari to increase production and produce proven recoverable reserves. We intend to continue conducting geological tests on the new licenses awarded to EP and Pari in order to establish the most efficient development scenarios. We believe that 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 property and launching these wells into commercial production. In 2005 we 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 cash flow, vendor loans and bank loans.

Customers 

During 2005 EP produced approximately 39 MBBLS of crude oil. 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 Kachanovskiy 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. 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. 

We have 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 to the 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);

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.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF PRINCIPAL CONDITIONS AND OPERATIONS
 
Risk Factors 

SEE ALSO DISCUSSION OF CERTAIN RISK FACTORS IN “RISK FACTORS” SECTION OF THIS PROSPECTUS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Prospectus. In addition, at December 31, 2005, our auditors, John A. Braden & Company, P.C., in their capacity as our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

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. 
 
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. We believe 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. 

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 year ended December 31, 2005 and periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005. 

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

 
·
Drill approximately 50% of the projected depth of Well #21 of the Company’s Karaikozovsk property;

 
·
Drill approximately 10% of the projected depth of Well #1 of the Company’s Peremyshlyansk property;

 
·
Complete the acquisition of Pari Ltd.;

 
·
Commence geological and research works on Rogan and Rakitnyansk properties;

 
·
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 we 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, our 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 our 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 us to reduce crude losses during extraction, separation and storage. 

On March 20, 2006, Pari, Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Sunrise, commenced the preparatory work to drill its first exploration well on the Peremishlyansk block. 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, we have drilled approximately 390m (1281ft) of Well #1 of the Peremishlyansk property which represents approximately 11% of its design depth.
 
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 we 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. We expect 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 we insured our business continuity risks. The above insurance premium was applicable to March - June 2005 period only.
 
Interest income (expense)

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 we 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 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 into our 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 our common stock. The number of such additional shares will be calculated at the same conversion price.

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, we had total current assets of $2,347,879 and total current liabilities of $2,729,019, respectively. As at June 30, 2006, we 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 our shareholders, however, no assurance can be given as to if, when and under what terms such new financing may be received by us. 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, we 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, our 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 

We anticipate we 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, we are 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 our tax liability when determining our 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

Our 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, we have incurred a net loss of $143,425 during the period ended June 30, 2006, and, as of June 30, 2006, our current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $381,140. Additionally, to fully develop the area covered by the Licenses, we need 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 our continued operations, which in turn is dependent upon our ability to meet our financing requirements on a continuing basis. For us to meet our financing requirements, we 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: 

 
o
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. 

 
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.

 
o
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
 
At present, the Company does not have proved reserves as defined in Rule 4-10(a) of Regulation S-X.

 
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.

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 2020, 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.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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.

Esko Pivnich is registered at the following address: 10a Rileeva St., Kiev, Ukraine. The company conducts its operations from the same address.

The number of employees of the Company at December 31, 2005 and 2004 was 46 and 20, respectively. 

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. 

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 accompanying notes are an integral part of the consolidated financial statements


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.  

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: 

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. 
 
In accordance with SFAS 144, we test our long-lived assets for impairment by comparing the carrying value of the assets with the undiscounted expected cashflow from the investments. In the event, the aggregate undiscounted expected cashflows from the investments are below the carrying value of the above investments, the unamortized costs of such fixed assets will be reduced to their fair value. Simultaneously, we will recognize the impairment loss as the amount by which the fair value of the investments exceeds their carrying value.
 
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. 
 
The accompanying notes are an integral part of the consolidated financial statements


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. 
 
The accompanying notes are an integral part of the consolidated financial statements


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. 

4.  PRODUCTION SHARING AGREEMENTS

21.  SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY 

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. Under the terms of the Agreement, the shareholders of Esko Pivnich gained the right to acquire a total of approximately 91% of Sunrise’s shares. 

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. Effective October 4, 2004, the Company and certain of its shareholders entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Agreement”) with the shareholders of Esko Pivnich to acquire all of the outstanding shares of EP. Pursuant to the Agreement, certain stockholders of the Company sold 5.0 million shars to shareholders of Esko Pivnich (“EP Shareholders”), and the Company also issued 10,479,900 shares to certain of EP's Shareholders.

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:

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.

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 accompanying notes are an integral part of the consolidated financial statements


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).

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.

 
·
The Company plans to continue raising additional equity capital and considers such contributions as significant source of funding for the development of its Licenses.

 
·
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.

 
·
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.

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 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. Market prices for oil and gas under Ukrainian law are considerably below world market prices.

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.

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.

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.

PROSPECTUS
 
November _, 2006


PART II. INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
 
 
INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

We have adopted provisions in its articles of incorporation and bylaws that limit the liability of its directors and provide for indemnification of its directors and officers to the full extent permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law. Under our articles of incorporation, and as permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law, directors are not liable to us or its stockholders for monetary damages arising from a breach of their fiduciary duty of care as directors. Such provisions do not, however, relieve liability for breach of a director's duty of loyalty to us or its stockholders, liability for acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct or knowing violations of law, liability for transactions in which the director derived as improper personal benefit or liability for the payment of a dividend in violation of Delaware law. Further, the provisions do not relieve a director's liability for violation of, or otherwise relieve us or our directors from the necessity of complying with, federal or state securities laws or affect the availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or recission.

At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving a director, officer, employee or agent of us where indemnification will be required or permitted. We are not aware of any threatened litigation or proceeding that may result in a claim for indemnification by any director or officer.

RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED 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. 

On March 30 and June 6, 2006, Sunrise issued two separate 10% Subordinated Notes to Millington Solutions Limited in the principal face amount of $1.0 million and $2.0 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2006, the Company has received several tranches aggregating to $917,000, which are covered by the $1.0 million note issued on March 30, 2006 and a tranche of $500,000 covered by the $2.0 million note issued on 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 into our 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.
 

UNDERTAKINGS


The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to:

(1) To file, during any period in which its offers or sells securities, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to:

(i) Include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act:

(ii) Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information in the registration statement and notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and(2) For determining liability under the Securities Act, treat each post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the securities offered, and the offering of the securities at that time to be the initial bona fide offering.

(iii) Include any additional or changed material information or the plan of distribution.

(3) File a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering.

(4) For determining liability of the undersigned small business issuer under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned small business issuer undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned small business issuer pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communication, the undersigned small business issuer will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:  
 
(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned small business issuer relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned small business issuer or used or referred to by the undersigned small business issuer;

(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned small business issuer or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned small business issuer; and

(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned small business issuer to the purchaser.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the small business issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the small business issuer has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy and as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the small business issuer of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the small business issuer in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the small business issuer will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

That for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser:

 (i) Each prospectus filed by the undersigned small business issuer pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3)(ss.230.424(b)(3) of this chapter) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

(ii) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.
