1.6  

THE REGENTS wishes to respond to LICENSEE's request by granting the following rights to LICENSEE so that the products and other benefits derived from the Invention can be enjoyed by the general public.

1.10  

LICENSEE is not a "small business firm" as defined at Section 2 of Pub. L. 85-536 (15 U.S.C. § 632).


1.11  

Both Parties recognize that earned royalties due under this Agreement will be based on LICENSEE's last act of infringement of Patent Rights within the control of LICENSEE, regardless of whether LICENSEE had control over prior infringing acts.


1.12  

The Parties intend that royalties due under this Agreement will be calculated and paid on Sales of the final product or service by LICENSEE.


1.13  

LICENSEE recognizes the need to practice due diligence in the development of the patents licensed under this agreement to maintain the license. In addition, both Parties acknowledge that the U.S. Government has certain march-in rights in accordance with 48 CFR 27.304-1 (g) and 15 USC 3710a(b)(1)(B) and (C).

AVALON OIL & GAS, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Operations

The Company is currently in the process of raising funds to acquire oil and gas properties.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Basis of Accounting

The Company's financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting. Revenues are recognized when earned and expenses when incurred.

Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of cash on deposit, certificates of deposit, money market accounts, and investment grade commercial paper that are readily convertible into cash and purchased with original maturities of three months or less. The Company maintains its cash balances at several financial institutions. Accounts at the institutions are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $100,000. At June 30, 2006 the Company's cash balances are in excess of this amount.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company's financial instruments are cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, notes payable, and long-term debt. The recorded values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate their fair values based on their short-term nature. The recorded values of notes payable and long-term debt approximate their fair values, as interest approximates market rates.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for major additions and improvements are capitalized, and minor replacements, maintenance, and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the results of operations for the respective period. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the related assets using the straight-line method for financial statement purposes. The Company uses other depreciation methods (generally accelerated) for tax purposes where appropriate. The estimated useful lives for significant property and equipment categories are as follows:

 

     Machinery and equipment           5 years


Common Stock Issued For Services

In accordance with the requirements of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”)D-90 “Grantor Balance Sheet Presentation of Unvested, Forfeitable Equity Instruments Granted to Non Employees, unvested, forfeitable equity instruments granted to non employees are treated as not issued for accounting purposes until the issuing entity has received consideration for it and the condition is thus satisfied. As of June 30, 2006 there were 24,444,437 shares issued to non employees valued at $1,206,710 for which services had not been provided. These shares were not shown as issued for financial reporting purposes.


Warrants

The value of warrants issued is recorded at their fairs values as determined by use of a Black Sholes Model at such time or over such periods as the warrants vest.

Earnings per Common Share

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) 128, Earnings Per Share, requires presentation of “basic” and “diluted” earnings per share on the face of the statements of operations for all entities with complex capital structures. Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted during the period. Dilutive securities having an antidilutive effect on diluted earnings per share are excluded from the calculation.

Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets, including tax loss and credit carryforwards, and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred income tax expense represents the change during the period in the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities. The components of the deferred tax assets and liabilities are individually classified as current and non-current based on their characteristics. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Revision of SFAS No. 123, Share-Based Payment

In December 2004, the FASB issued a revision of SFAS No. 123, “Share-Based Payment”. The statement establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity investments for goods and services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments. The statement does not change the accounting guidance for share-based payments with parties other than employees. The statement is effective for the quarter beginning January 1, 2006. The Company does not expect this statement to have a material effect on its reporting.

Accounting for Exchanges of Non-monetary Assets-amendment of APB Opinion No. 29

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, “Exchanges of Non-monetary Assets- amendment of APB Opinion No. 29". Statement 153 eliminates the exception to fair value for exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanged transactions that do not have a commercial substance, defined as transactions that are not expected to result in significant changes in the cash flows of the reporting entity. This statement is effective for exchanges of non-monetary assets occurring after September 15, 2005. The Company does not expect this statement to have a material effect on its reporting.


Accounting Changes and Error Corrections - a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3

In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections — a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3". Statement 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of changes in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either the periodspecific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. The statement is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company does not expect this statement to have a material effect on its reporting.

Recently adopted FASB No. 155 "Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments - An Amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140" and FASB No. 156 "Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets - An Amendment of FASB 140" have no implications for the Company and are not expected to affect its reporting.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years’ financial statements to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported results of operations or retained earnings.

Note 2: Going Concern

The Company is in the process of acquiring and developing petroleum and natural gas properties with adequate production and reserves to operate as a profitable entity. As of June 30, 2006, it had a retained deficit of $(16,607,431) and incurred losses for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 of $(851,262) and $(42,277) respectively. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon obtaining financing and achieving profitable levels of operations. The Company is currently seeking additional funds and additional mineral interests through private placements of equity and debt instruments. There can be no assurance that its efforts will be successful.

The consolidated financial statements do not give effect to any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Note 3: Related Party Transactions

Accounts Payable

As of June 30, 2006, the Company owed an officer $21,688 for general and administrative expenses paid on behalf of the Company. This liability is included in the accompanying financial statements as “Accounts payable, related party”. This payable does not bear interest and is due on demand.

Promissory Notes

On May 8, 2006, a shareholder loaned the Company $100,000 for working capital in exchange for a promissory note. The note carries a 10% interest rate and matures on November 8, 2005. The note holder has the right to convert the note and accrued interest at the rate of $0.01 per share. The value of this conversion feature was treated as a loan discount for the full $100,000 of the loan and is being amortized to interest expense over the life of the loan. Amortization of $33,333 was included in interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2006.


Preferred Stock

The 100 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, issued to an officer/director as payment for $500,000 in promissory notes, are convertible into the number of shares of common stock sufficient to represent 40 percent ( 40%) of the fully diluted shares outstanding after their issuance. The Series A Preferred Stock pays an eight percent ( 8%) dividends. The dividends are cumulative and payable quarterly.

Note 5: Income Taxes

At March 31, 2006, the Company had accumulated a net operating loss of approximately $21,500,000 (including pre-reorganization), which may be used to reduce future taxable income through 2026. A valuation allowance has been recognized to completely reserve

for the deferred tax assets related to the loss carryforwards. The reserve has been established because of the uncertainty of future taxable income, which is necessary in order to realize the benefits of the net operating loss carryforwards. Any tax benefits realized in the future from pre-confirmation operating loss carryforwards will be reported as a direct addition to additional paid-in capital. The Company’s ability to utilize these carryforwards to offset future taxable income is subject to restrictions under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code due to certain changes in the equity ownership of the Company. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for tax purposes. Components of the Company’s deferred tax assets are:

Deferred tax assets from net operating    
            loss carryforwards  $ 8,671,350  
Less: Valuation allowance  $(8,671,350 )
