MILLER PETROLEUM, INC.
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements


(1)  Interim Reports / Going Concern

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. However, in addition to successive losses for three years, declining revenues, a net loss of $(388,715) for the six months ended October 31, 2006, and net equity of $995 as of October 31, 2006, the Company was informed on August 30, 2006 by Wind City Oil & Gas, LLC that, by September 30, 2006, it would exercise its put to return its stock, which had originally been recorded as temporary equity. Wind City has also filed a lawsuit, which is discussed in Notes 4 and 7 of these condensed, consolidated financial statements. Management believes that the Company may therefore need total additional financing of approximately $5,000,000 to effect the repurchase and continue to operate as planned during the twelve month period subsequent to October 31, 2006. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the Registrant's April 30, 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. The results of operations for the period ended October 31, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of operating results for the full year. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

(2)  Participant Receivables and Related Party Receivables

Participant receivable and related party receivables consist of receivables contractually due from our various joint venture partners in connection with routine exploration, betterment and maintenance activities. Our collateral for these receivables generally consists of lien rights over the related oil producing properties. Approximately $249,904 included in the balance sheet among Accounts receivable - related party is due from Wind Mill Oil & Gas, LLC, a related party.

(3)  Long-Term Debt, Warrants, Loan Fees And Restricted Cash

Long-term debt consisted of a mortgage loan on our land and building. Interest in the amount of $11,256 was paid on this note for the six months ended October 31, 2006.

(4)  Stockholders’ Equity

On December 23, 2005 we entered into a joint venture agreement with Wind City Oil & Gas, LLC to form Wind Mill Oil & Gas, LLC to explore, drill and develop certain oil and gas properties. As part of the agreement, Wind City Oil & Gas, LLC purchased 2,900,000 common shares for $4,350,000 on December 23, 2005. The stock purchase agreement contains a put whereby, under certain conditions, Wind City Oil & Gas, LLC can put the stock back to us until September 30, 2006, thereby requiring us to repurchase the 2,900,000 shares. On August 30, 2006, we received notice from Wind City Oil & Gas LLC that they were seeking to exercise the put provision of the stock purchase agreement. We do not believe that such notice was properly given. On November 6, 2006, Wind City filed a summons and complaint against us in an action in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York seeking to force the exercise of the put provision of the stock purchase agreement. Because of the uncertainty surrounding the eventual disposition of the case, Management has continued to treat this stock as temporary equity in these financial statements.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements


(4)  Stockholders’ Equity (continued)

Penalty warrants for 240,000 common shares at a price of $1.15 per share, and a five-year term were issued during the six months ended October 31, 2006. The warrants were valued at $39,000.

The Company presents “basic” earnings (loss) per share and, if applicable, “diluted” earnings per share pursuant to the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128. The calculation of diluted earnings per share is similar to that of basic earnings per share, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all potentially dilutive common shares, such as those issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants, were issued during the period. Since the Company had a net loss for the six months ended October 31, 2006 and for the year ended April 30, 2006, the assumed effects from the exercise of outstanding options and warrants would have been anti-dilutive, and, therefore only basic earnings per share is presented.
 
(5)  Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2006 the FASB issued SFAS No 155 “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments - an amendment of FASB Statements No 133 and 140”. This Statement amends FASB Statements No 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” and No 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities”. This Statement revolves around issues addressed in Statement No 133 Implementation Issue No D1, “Application of Statement 133 to Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets”. This Statement is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. Adoption of SFAS No 155 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

In March 2006 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No 156 “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets - an amendment of FASB Statement No 140. SFAS No 156 amends SFAS No 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities”, with respect to accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. SFAS No 156 is effective for fiscal years that begin after September 15, 2006, with early adoption permitted as of the beginning of an entity’s fiscal year. The Company does not have any servicing assets or servicing liabilities and, accordingly, the adoption of SFAS No 156 will not have any effect on the results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, was issued in July 2006 and will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2007. FIN 48 defines the threshold for recognizing the benefits of uncertain tax return positions in the financial statements. The Company has not yet determined the impact this Interpretation will have on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

(7)  Litigation / Going Concern 

The outcome of our current litigation with Wind City could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

As previously discussed in Notes 1 and 4, Wind City Oil & Gas, LLC has filed suit to force the exercise of the put provision of the stock purchase agreement. Neither we nor our attorneys believe the notice was properly given in accordance with the agreements; however, if the suit is successful and we are required to repurchase the shares, we would have a significant cash flow shortfall, which would require additional financing arrangements. There is no assurance that such financing could be obtained on favorable terms, or at all. In such event, our financial condition could be materially adversely affected and our ability to continue as a going concern could be jeopardized.

Item 2 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
Introduction
 
The following discussion is intended to facilitate an understanding of our business and results of operations and includes forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. It should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements included herein. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements.
 
Overview
 
We are actively engaged in the exploration, development, production and acquisition of crude oil and natural gas primarily in eastern Tennessee. In December 2005, we entered into a joint venture agreement with Wind City Oil & Gas, LLC (“Wind City”) to form Wind Mill Oil & Gas, LLC (the “Wind Mill Joint Venture”). We own 49.9% of the Wind Mill Joint Venture and Wind City owns 50.1%. We contributed approximately 43,000 acres, which we held under lease in Tennessee, to the Wind Mill Joint Venture for oil and gas exploration, development and exploitation of undeveloped wells. Wind City contributed $10,000,000. The joint venture will only encompass new drilling projects. We retained our working interest in the developed and producing wells located on such leases. In connection with the development of wells by the Wind Mill Joint Venture, we will also receive reimbursement for certain salaried employees and revenue for providing labor and equipment. Including the leases that were contributed to the Wind Mill Joint Venture, we have approximately 50,000 acres under lease. About 90% of such leases are held by production.
 
As part of this Joint Venture Agreement, Wind City purchased 2,900,000 shares of our common stock with the right, under certain conditions, to put the stock back to us by September 30, 2006. On August 30, 2006 Wind City notified us of its intent to exercise the put provision of the stock purchase agreement. On November 7, 2006 Wind City filed a lawsuit to force the exercise of the put provision. We do not believe the put was properly exercised and have filed an application to stay the litigation and force arbitration as is required by the agreements.
 
Our present financial condition precludes us from being able to repurchase the shares under the put if we were to lose the lawsuit. We are exploring various financing opportunities in this regard; however, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain financing sufficient to repurchase such shares. In the event that we are unable to obtain financing on acceptable terms sufficient to consummate the repurchase, our business and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Cash provided by operating activities was $195,806 for the six months ended October 31, 2006, an increase of $1,696,812 over cash used by operating activities for the six months ended October 31, 2005 of $1,501,006. Our principal source of liquidity has been oil and gas revenues, loans from related parties and directors, private placement transactions of our common stock, and participation with investors in various oil and gas wells. The increase in oil and gas prices and the fact that we have approximately 50,000 acres under lease in Tennessee enhances our ability to attract investors and to pursue joint ventures in oil and gas. 
 
On December 23, 2005 we entered into the Wind Mill Oil & Gas LLC Agreement (“Wind Mill”) and also sold 2,900,000 shares of common stock to Wind City Oil & Gas, LLC (“Wind City”) for $4,350,000. These funds were used to pay off the $4,150,000 of loans and to provide some working capital. Wind City also contributed $10,000,000 to Wind Mill and we contributed oil and gas leases as part of the Wind Mill agreement. For the six months ended October 31, 2006 we received $353,640 of administrative salary reimbursements and revenue of $412,093 for various labor, parts and use of equipment. The cessation of operations with Wind Mill has had a major impact on our cash flow.
 
Our long-term cash flows are subject to a number of variables including the level of production and prices as well as various economic conditions that have historically affected the oil and gas business. A material drop in oil and gas prices or a reduction in production and reserves would reduce our ability to fund capital expenditures, service new debt, meet financial obligations and remain profitable. We operate in an environment with numerous financial and operating risks, including, but not limited to, the inherent risks of the search for, development and production of oil and gas, the ability to buy properties and sell production at prices which provide an attractive return and the highly competitive nature of the industry. Our ability to expand our reserve base is, in part, dependent on obtaining sufficient capital through internal cash flow or the issuance of debt or equity securities. There can be no assurance that internal cash flow and other capital sources will provide sufficient funds to maintain capital expenditures that we believe are necessary to offset future declines in production and proved reserves.
