BLACKSANDS PETROLEUM, INC.
(FORMERLY KNOWN AS LAM LIANG CORP.)
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS, HISTORY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Description of business and history - Blacksands Petroleum, Inc., a Nevada corporation, (hereinafter referred to as the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on October 12, 2004 as Lam Liang Corp. The Company was formed to design, produce and sell fashionable computer laptop cases for women through its subsidiary, Maha San Lam Liang Co. Ltd., a Thai corporation, in Bangkok, Thailand. In November, 2004, the Company acquired 99.94% ownership in a privately-held company, registered under the laws of Thailand under the name of Maha San Lam Liang Co. Ltd. The Company was formed and registered in Thailand on November 5, 2004 by Dr. Anchana Chayawatana, who was the sole officer and director of the Company. The subsidiary was subsequently dissolved on June 5, 2006. The Company’s operations have been limited to general administrative operations and development of its first product line and is considered a development stage company in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 7. On May 6, 2006, three of the Company’s directors resigned and two new directors were appointed to its board of directors. As a result, on May 6, 2006, the Company exited its previous plan of operation. The Company does not currently have an operating business and is looking to capitalize on the experience and knowledge of its management in considering possible strategic transactions in the unconventional oil industry. To indicate its new direction into the unconventional oil industry, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation on June 9, 2006 to change its name from “Lam Liang Corp.” to “Blacksands Petroleum, Inc.”

On November 10, 2006, the Company entered into an Exclusivity Agreement with Access Energy Inc. (“Access”). Pursuant to the agreement, Access agrees that for a period of 120 days from the date of the agreement, it will refrain from soliciting or encouraging the submissions of proposals or offers from any person other than the Company relating to the purchase of its equity or all or a significant portion of the assets of Access or its subsidiaries (a “Transaction”). In exchange for this grant of exclusivity under the agreement, the Company has paid Access CDN$100,000 (approximately US$88,556), which is only refundable if Access breaches the exclusivity grant under the agreement. In the event of a Transaction, this payment shall be applied to monies otherwise payable by the Company to Access in connection with the Transaction. The agreement shall terminate upon the earliest of 120 days from the date of the agreement, the completion of a Transaction or the written agreement of Access and the Company to terminate the agreement.

Management of the Company - The Company filed its articles of incorporation with the Nevada Secretary of State on October 12, 2004, indicating Sandra L. Miller on behalf of Resident Agents of Nevada, Inc. as the sole incorporator.

The Company filed its annual list of officers and directors with the Nevada Secretary of State on September 29, 2005, indicating that its President is Anchana Chayawatana, its Secretary is Anongnat Chansangachom and its Treasurer is Prapaipan Chayawatana. On April 24, 2006, Dr. Chayawatana, Ms. Chansangachom and Ms. Chayawatana resigned from their positions as officers of the Company and Darren Stevenson became the President, Secretary and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. On May 6, 2006, Dr. Chayawatana, Ms. Chansangachom and Ms. Chayawatana resigned as the Company’s directors and Darren Stevenson and Bruno Mosimann became the Company’s directors.

On May 6, 2006 the Company issued $1,000,000 of convertible debentures to two accredited investors. The debentures were converted to 1,000,000 units of the Company’s securities on August 9, 2006. Each unit consists of one share of common stock and one common stock purchase warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock for an exercise price of $3.00 per share, and is exercisable for a two year period commencing October 1, 2006.

BLACKSANDS PETROLEUM, INC.
(FORMERLY KNOWN AS LAM LIANG CORP.)(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

On August 9, 2006 the Company closed a private placement of units of its securities. 10,854,700 units were issued for gross proceeds of $10,854,700. Each unit consists of one share of common stock and one common stock purchase warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock for an exercise price of $3.00 per share, and is exercisable for a two year period commencing October 1, 2006. The Company intends to utilize the proceeds of the offering to identify and acquire suitable candidates in the unconventional petroleum industry. Following the closing of the offering, the funds will remain in escrow until a suitable acquisition candidate is identified and acquired. If the Company fails to complete a business acquisition within 12 months after the closing of the offering, subscription proceeds will be promptly returned to investors without interest or deduction.
 
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on additional sources of capital and the success of the Company’s plan. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Year end - The Company’s fiscal year end is October 31.

Principles of consolidation - The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary (up to the date of dissolution of the subsidiary). All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Use of estimates - The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Cash and cash equivalents - The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Concentration of credit risks - The Company’s cash and cash equivalents accounts are held at financial institutions and are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $100,000 and by Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation (“CDIC”) up to CDN$100,000. During the quarter ended January 31, 2007, the Company has reached bank balances exceeding the FDIC and CDIC insurance limits. To reduce its risk associated with the failure of such financial institutions, the Company periodically evaluates the credit quality of the financial institutions in which it holds deposits.

Property and equipment - Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided principally on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are generally 3 to 27 years. The amounts of depreciation provided are sufficient to charge the cost of the related assets to operations over their estimated useful lives. Upon sale or other disposition of a depreciable property, cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in other income.

The Company periodically evaluates whether events and circumstances have occurred that may warrant revision of the estimated useful life of fixed assets or whether the remaining balance of fixed assets should be evaluated for possible impairment. The Company uses an estimate of the related undiscounted cash flows over the remaining life of the fixed assets in measuring their recoverability.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Income taxes - The Company accounts for its income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets 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 operations in the period that includes the enactment date.

Management feels the Company will have a net operating loss carryover to be used for future years. Such losses may not be fully deductible due to the significant amounts of non-cash service costs. The Company has not established a valuation allowance for the full tax benefit of the operating loss carryovers due to the uncertainty regarding realization.

Net loss per common share - The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share (SFAS 128) and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 98 (SAB 98). Under the provisions of SFAS 128 and SAB 98, basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The calculation of diluted net loss per share gives effect to common stock equivalents; however, potential common shares are excluded if their effect is anti-dilutive. For the quarter ended January 31, 2007, 13,054,000 options and warrants were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would be anti-dilutive. For the period from November 1, 2005 to January 31, 2006 there were no options and warrants excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would be anti-dilutive.

Comprehensive income (loss) - The Company’s bank accounts were located in Thailand, with funds in Thai baht. Effective May 6, 2006 the bank accounts in Thailand were closed. Foreign currency translation losses up to that date were $969. The Company’s funds at October 31, 2006 and at January 31, 2007 were held in Canadian and US Dollar bank accounts and trust and escrow accounts maintained by the Company’s lawyers, Gottbetter & Partners, in United States Dollars. Foreign currency translation losses for the period May 1, 2006 to October 31, 2006 were $1,327. Total foreign currency translation losses to October 31, 2006 amounted to $2,296. Foreign currency translation losses for the quarter ended January 31, 2007 amounted to $11,316. See Note 8 regarding comprehensive income.

Foreign Currency Translation - Up to May 6, 2006 the Company’s functional currency was in Thai baht as substantially all of the Company’s operations were in Thailand.  The Company used the United States Dollar as its reporting currency for consistency with registrants of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and in accordance with the SFAS No. 52 - “Foreign Currency Translation”. Assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the period end and capital accounts are translated at historical rates.  Income statement accounts are translated at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the period.  Translation adjustments from the use of different exchange rates from period to period are included in the comprehensive income account in stockholder’s equity, if applicable.

In April 2006, the Company’s officers resigned and Darren Stevenson was appointed as the new President, Secretary and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and on May 6, 2006, the Company’s board of directors resigned and Mr. Stevenson and Bruno Mosimann became the Company’s new directors. As a result of these events, the Company’s operations have moved to Canada and although the Company maintains substantial funds in United States Dollars the functional currency of the Company is the Canadian Dollar. The Company continues to use the United States dollar as its reporting currency for consistency with registrants of the SEC.

There were no other written or verbal agreements related to the sale of any stock, option or warrants of the Company’s common stock. Details of stock options granted to Mr. Stevenson are set forth below.

Compensation

The Company entered into an Employment Agreement and a Stock Option Agreement with Darren Stevenson, both of which became effective as of April 18, 2006, as part of his compensation for becoming the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, President and Secretary. The Employment Agreement provides Mr. Stevenson with CDN$60,000 (approximately US$51,500) per annum, to be increased to CDN$120,000 (approximately US$103,000) per annum in the event that the Company conducts a placement of it securities of at least US$50,000,000. The term of the Employment Agreement is for two years.

Under the Stock Option Agreement, Mr. Stevenson was, on April 18, 2006, granted options to purchase 1,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company on a post-split basis. All of the options, once vested, are exercisable at $2.00 per share. Options expire two years after the date of the grant. Options to purchase 100,000 shares vested on June 9, 2006 when the Company filed with the Secretary of State of Nevada an amendment to its Articles of Incorporation, which among other things, increased its authorized common stock to 300,000,000 shares and changed its name to “Blacksands Petroleum, Inc.” Options to purchase 200,000 shares vested on August 9, 2006 when the Company completed a common stock placement of US$10,854,700. Options to purchase 200,000 shares vested on January 1, 2007, and options to purchase 500,000 shares will vest if the Company conducts a placement of at least US$50,000,000. The Company enacted a 30:1 forward stock split on June 9, 2006, and all of the share amounts for which the options are exercisable are on a post-split basis.

The Company valued the options issued to Mr. Stevenson at a $0 value based on a closing price of $ 0.03, an exercise price of $ 2.00, and a term of 2 years. The Company used the average historical volatility of three companies deemed to be in the same industry as the Company as 50.86%.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

The Company entered into a consulting agreement and a stock warrant agreement with Gregg Layton both of which became effective as of August 1, 2006.

The consulting agreement provides Mr. Layton with CDN$3,000 (approximately US$2,575) per month plus out of pocket expenses. The term of the consulting agreement is for one year unless terminated by 30 days notice in writing.

 New accounting pronouncements

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, which is a revision of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. SFAS No. 123(R) supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and amends SFAS No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows. Generally, the approach in SFAS No. 123(R) is similar to the approach described in SFAS No. 123. However, SFAS No. 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative. The new standard became effective for the Company in the first interim or annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company has adopted this standard effective for the year ended October 31, 2006.

In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections” (“SFAS 154”). SFAS 154 replaces Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 20 “Accounting Changes” and SFAS No. 3, “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements-An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 28.” SFAS 154 provides guidance on the accounting for and reporting of accounting changes and error corrections. SFAS 154 requires “retrospective application” of the direct effect of a voluntary change in accounting principle to prior periods’ financial statements where it is practicable to do so. SFAS 154 also redefines the term “restatement” to mean the correction of an error by revising previously issued financial statements. SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and error corrections made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005 unless adopted early. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 154 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows, except to the extent that the statement subsequently requires retrospective application of a future item.

In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments (“SFAS No. 155”), which amends SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“SFAS No. 133”) and SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities (“SFAS No. 140”). SFAS No. 155 permits fair value measurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation, establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or hybrid financial instruments containing embedded derivatives. SFAS 155 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. Earlier adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an entity’s fiscal year, provided the entity has not yet issued financial statements, including financial statements for any interim period for that fiscal year. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 155 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets (“SFAS No. 156”), which amends FASB Statement No. 140 (“SFAS No. 140”). SFAS 156 may be adopted as early as January 1, 2006, for calendar year-end entities, provided that no interim financial statements have been issued. Those not choosing to early adopt are required to apply the provisions as of the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006 (e.g., January 1, 2007, for calendar year-end entities).  The intention of the new statement is to simplify accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and liabilities, such as those common with mortgage securitization activities, as well as to simplify efforts to obtain hedge-like accounting.  Specifically, the FASB said SFAS No. 156 permits a service using derivative financial instruments to report both the derivative financial instrument and related servicing asset or liability by using a consistent measurement attribute, or fair value. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 155 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS Statement No. 157. This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the Board having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is a relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, this Statement does not require any new fair value measurements. However, for some entities, the application of this Statement will change current practices. This Statement is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Earlier application is permitted provided that the reporting entity has not yet issued financial statements for that fiscal year. Management believes this Statement will have no impact on the financial statements of the Company once adopted.

CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES
 
On May 6, 2006, the Company issued $1,000,000 principal amount of its debentures (“Debentures”) to two accredited investors. The Debentures were unsecured, bore interest at the rate of 9% per annum, which interest was to begin to accrue commencing 150 days from issuance, and were for a term of three years. The Debentures were payable in consecutive monthly installments of principal and interest, commencing 150 days from the date of their issuance. The Debentures become convertible and were automatically converted, as to their outstanding principal amount plus accrued interest, if any, into units (“Units”) of the Company’s securities, following the completion of a private placement to accredited investors of $10,854,700 (the “PPO”) of its Units on August 9, 2006. Each Unit consists of one share, on a post-split basis, of the Company’s common stock and one warrant to purchase a share of common stock (the “Warrants”). Each Warrant will be exercisable for two years commencing October 1, 2006 and will entitle its holder to purchase one share of Common Stock at $3.00 per share. Simultaneously with the closing of the PPO, the Debentures converted into 1,000,000 Units at a conversion price of $1.00 per Unit, equal to the price per Unit in the PPO. No interest had accrued on the Debentures as of the date of conversion.

Pursuant to the agreement, Access agreed that until March 10, 2007 it would refrain from soliciting or encouraging the submissions of proposals or offers from any person other than the Company relating to the purchase of Access’ equity or all or a significant portion of its assets or those of its subsidiaries (a “Transaction”). In exchange for this grant of exclusivity under the agreement, the Company paid Access CDN$100,000 (approximately US$88,556), which was only refundable if Access breached the exclusivity grant under the agreement. In the event of a Transaction, this payment shall be applied to monies otherwise payable to Access in connection with the Transaction. The agreement was to terminate upon the earliest of March 10, 2007, the completion of a Transaction or the written agreement of the parties to terminate the agreement.

By written amendment dated as of March 9, 2007, the parties agreed to extend the term of the Exclusivity Agreement until May 8, 2007. No additional consideration was paid for this extension, and all other terms of the Exclusivity Agreement remain unchanged and in full force and effect.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.
 
Plan of Operation

Since inception and through April 30, 2006, our plan of operation was to design, contract for manufacture and distribute bags. It was our intent to produce “high-end” quality computer bags for a reasonable price. On May 6, 2006, three of our directors resigned and two new directors were appointed to our board of directors. In addition, on June 5, 2006, Maha San Lam Liang Co. Ltd., our 99.94% owned Thai subsidiary, was dissolved. As a result, we have exited our previous plan of operation.

We do not currently have an operating business and are looking to capitalize on the experience and knowledge of our management in considering possible strategic transactions in the unconventional oil industry.

During the next twelve months we will be looking to invest in the exploration and development in the unconventional oil industry through acquisitions.

We have established an office in Calgary, Alberta and will be pursuing acquisition opportunities that will meet our objective of commencing our oil and gas exploration activities.

Results of Operations

For the three months ended January 31, 2007, and since the date of inception, we have not yet generated any revenues.

We incurred total operating expenses of $189,297 for the three months ended January 31, 2007, as compared to total operating expenses of $1,629 for the three months ended January 31, 2006. These expenses consisted of general operating expenses incurred in connection with the day-to-day operation of our business and the preparation and filing of our periodic reports as well as the salary paid to Darren Stevenson, our Chief Executive Officer, pursuant to an employment agreement that Mr. Stevenson entered into with us on April 18, 2006. The significant operating expenses include professional fees of $144,529 for the three months ended January 31, 2007 incurred in connection with filing of periodic reports, SEC compliance filings, audit and accounting fees and general corporate matters as compared with professional fees of $0 for the three months ended January 31, 2006. The office and administration expenses of $28,963 for the three months ended January 31, 2007 include rent, travel, telephone and other office expenses as compared to office and administration expenses of $1,629 for the three months ended January 31, 2006.

We earned total interest income of $120,820 for the three months ended January 31, 2007, as compared to total interest income of $0 for the three months ended January 31, 2006. The interest was earned on the proceeds of private placement on August 9, 2006 of $10,854,700.

Our total comprehensive loss for the three months ended January 31, 2007 was $78,384, as compared to total comprehensive income of $194 for the three months ended January 31, 2006, and a total comprehensive loss of $403,258 from inception on October 12, 2004 to January 31, 2007.

Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended January 31, 2007 was $0, as compared to $67 for the three months ended January 31, 2006 and $35,264 for the period from inception on October 12, 2004 to January 31, 2007. Cash used by financing activities for the three months ended January 31, 2007 was $50,000, resulting from our repurchase of 30,000,000 shares of common stock from Mr. Stevenson on November 6, 2006. Cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended January 31, 2006 was $0.

We are still in our development stage and have generated no revenues to date.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At January 31, 2007, we had cash in the bank of $538,925. On November 6, 2006 we repurchased 30,000,000 shares of our common stock from Mr. Stevenson for $50,000.

We also have restricted cash of $10,854,407 held in escrow pending our entering a strategic transaction. These funds were received pursuant to the completion of a private placement of units of our securities on August 9, 2006. The offering was conducted pursuant to the exemption from the registration requirements of the federal securities laws provided by Regulation S and Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D under the Securities Act. Each Unit consisted of one share of our common stock and one warrant to purchase a share of common stock. Each warrant is exercisable for two years commencing October 1, 2006 and entitles its holder to purchase one share of Common Stock at $3.00 per share. The Units were offered and sold only to “accredited investors,” as that term is defined by Rule 501 of Regulation D, and/or to persons who were neither resident in, nor citizens of, the United States. We intend to utilize the proceeds of the offering to identify and acquire suitable candidates in the unconventional petroleum industry. The proceeds of the offering will remain in escrow until a suitable acquisition candidate is identified and acquired. If we fail to complete a business acquisition by August 8, 2007 subscription proceeds will be promptly returned to investors without interest or deduction.

Our management intends to consider possible strategic transactions in the unconventional oil industry. We expect to be able to satisfy our cash requirements for at least the next 12 months without having to raise additional funds or seek bank loans if we do not undertake any such strategic transactions. After that 12-month period, we may have to raise additional monies through sales of our equity securities or through loans from banks or third parties to continue our business plans; however, no such plans have yet been implemented.

Our stockholders’ equity at January 31, 2007 was $11,466,846.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our financial statements are based on the selection and application of generally accepted accounting principles, which require us to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in our financial statements and the accompanying notes. Future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty. Therefore, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and any such differences may be material to our financial statements. We believe that our policies may involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity in their application than our other accounting policies and represent the critical accounting policies used in the preparation of our financial statements. If different assumptions or conditions were to prevail, the results could be materially different from our reported results. Our significant accounting policies are presented in the notes to our financial statements.

When we prepare our consolidated financial statements, we use estimates and assumptions that may affect reported amounts and disclosures. We base these estimates on historical results and various other assumptions believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making estimates concerning the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily available from other sources. Actual results could differ from the amounts previously estimated, which were based on the information available at the time the estimates were made. Changes in estimates are recorded if and when better information becomes available.

17

 
We consider an accounting estimate to be critical if: (1) the accounting estimate requires us to make an assumption about a matter that was highly uncertain at the time the estimate was made, and (2) changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely to occur from period to period, or use of a different estimate that we reasonably could have used in the current period, could have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

As we are currently a development stage company, with no revenues, we do not yet have an Audit Committee.

New Accounting Pronouncements 

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, which is a revision of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. SFAS No. 123(R) supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and amends SFAS No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows. Generally, the approach in SFAS No. 123(R) is similar to the approach described in SFAS No. 123. However, SFAS No. 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative. The new standard became effective for us in the first interim or annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2005. We adopted this standard effective for the year ended October 31, 2006.

In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections” (“SFAS 154”). SFAS 154 replaces Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 20 “Accounting Changes” and SFAS No. 3, “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements-An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 28.” SFAS 154 provides guidance on the accounting for and reporting of accounting changes and error corrections. SFAS 154 requires “retrospective application” of the direct effect of a voluntary change in accounting principle to prior periods’ financial statements where it is practicable to do so. SFAS 154 also redefines the term “restatement” to mean the correction of an error by revising previously issued financial statements. SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and error corrections made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005 unless adopted early. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS 154 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows, except to the extent that the statement subsequently requires retrospective application of a future item.

In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments (“SFAS No. 155”), which amends SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“SFAS No. 133”) and SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities (“SFAS No. 140”). SFAS No. 155 permits fair value measurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation, establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or hybrid financial instruments containing embedded derivatives. SFAS 155 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. Earlier adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an entity’s fiscal year, provided the entity has not yet issued financial statements, including financial statements for any interim period for that fiscal year. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS 155 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets (“SFAS No. 156”), which amends FASB Statement No. 140 (“SFAS No. 140”). SFAS 156 may be adopted as early as January 1, 2006, for calendar year-end entities, provided that no interim financial statements have been issued. Those not choosing to early adopt are required to apply the provisions as of the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006 (e.g., January 1, 2007, for calendar year-end entities).  The intention of the new statement is to simplify accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and liabilities, such as those common with mortgage securitization activities, as well as to simplify efforts to obtain hedge-like accounting.  Specifically, the FASB said FAS No. 156 permits a service using derivative financial instruments to report both the derivative financial instrument and related servicing asset or liability by using a consistent measurement attribute, or fair value. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS 155 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In September 2006, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 157. This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the Board having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is a relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, this Statement does not require any new fair value measurements. However, for some entities, the application of this Statement will change current practices. This Statement is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Earlier application is permitted provided that the reporting entity has not yet issued financial statements for that fiscal year. Management believes this Statement will have no impact on our financial statements once adopted.

Item 3. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls

We evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the date of this report. This evaluation was conducted by our Chief Executive Officer, President and Secretary and acting principal accounting officer, Mr. Darren R. Stevenson.

Disclosure controls are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information that we are required to disclose in the reports we file pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported.

Limitations on Effective Controls

Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all error and fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that the objectives of a control system are met. Further, any control system reflects limitations on resources, and the benefits of a control system must be considered relative to its costs. These limitations also include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of a control. A design of a control system is also based upon certain assumptions about potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be detected.

Conclusions

Based upon his evaluation of our controls, the Chief Executive Officer and acting principal accounting officer has concluded that, subject to the limitations noted above, the disclosure controls are effective in providing reasonable assurance that material information relating to us is made known to management on a timely basis during the period when our reports are being prepared. There were no changes in our internal controls that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls.

Item 5. Other Information

On November 10, 2006, we entered into an Exclusivity Agreement with Access Energy Inc. (“Access”) pursuant to which Access agreed that until March 10, 2007, it would refrain from soliciting or encouraging the submissions of proposals or offers from any person other than us relating to the purchase of Access’ equity all or a significant portion of its assets or those of its subsidiaries.

We extended the exclusivity period until May 8, 2007 through an Amendment of Exclusivity Agreement executed on March 9, 2007. No additional consideration was paid for this extension; all other terms of the Exclusivity Agreement remain unchanged and in force.
