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. (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 a subsidiary, which was subsequently dissolved on June 5, 2006. The Company's operations were 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, and exited its plan of operation on May 6, 2006. 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.”

Going Concern. 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 business 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 quarter ended April 30, 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.
 
Oil and Gas Properties 

Company follows the successful efforts method of accounting for its oil and natural gas properties. Unproved oil and gas properties are periodically assessed and any impairment in value is charged to exploration expense. The costs of unproved properties, which are determined to be productive are transferred to proved oil and gas properties and amortized on an equivalent unit-of-production basis. Exploratory expenses, including geological and geophysical expenses and delay rentals for unevaluated oil and gas properties, are charged to expense as incurred. Exploratory drilling costs are initially capitalized as unproved property but charged to expense if and when the well is determined not to have found proved oil and gas reserves. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 19, exploratory drilling costs are evaluated within a one-year period after the completion of drilling.

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

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 April 30, 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 April 30, 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) - Until May 6, 2006, the Company’s bank accounts were located in Thailand, with funds denominated in Thai Baht. Foreign currency translation losses up to that date were $969. The Company’s funds at October 31, 2006 and at April 30, 2007 were held in Canadian and U.S. Dollar bank accounts and trust and escrow accounts maintained by the Company’s lawyers in U.S. Dollars. Foreign currency translation gains for the quarter ended April 30, 2007 amounted to $8,796. Foreign currency translation losses for the six months ended April 30, 2007 were $2,520. Total foreign currency translation losses from October 12, 2004 to April 30, 2007 were $4,816. See note 8 regarding comprehensive income.

Foreign Currency Translation - Up to May 6, 2006, the Company's functional currency was 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.

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

In April 2006, the Company's existing 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.

Transactions undertaken in currencies other than the functional currency of the entity are translated using the exchange rate in effect as of the transaction date.  Any exchange gains and losses are included in other items on the statement of operations.

Revenue recognition - The Company has no revenues to date from its operations.

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.

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

In February 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments (“SFAS No. 155”), which amends Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“SFAS No. 133”) and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 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.

In March 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 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. 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 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 the financial statements of the Company once adopted.
 
In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. This Statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. This Statement applies to all entities, including not-for-profit organizations. Most of the provisions of this Statement apply only to entities that elect the fair value option. However, the amendment to FASB Statement No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, applies to all entities with available-for-sale and trading securities. The fair value option permits all entities to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at specified election dates.

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

A business entity shall report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings (or another performance indicator if the business entity does not report earnings) at each subsequent reporting date. The fair value option may be applied instrument by instrument (with a few exceptions); is irrevocable (unless a new election date occurs); and is applied only to entire instruments and not to portions of instruments. This Statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provisions of FASB Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurement. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 159 to materially effect the Company’s financial position or results of operations. Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

STOCKHOLDER'S EQUITY

The issued and outstanding shares were issued as follows:

30,000,000 common shares (post-split) were issued to Alan Teegardin on October 12, 2004 for the sum of $5,000 in cash which were subsequently transferred to Dr. Anchana Chayawatana on November 19, 2004 for the same amount. On May 6, 2006, Dr. Chayawatana sold her 30,000,000 shares to Darren Stevenson. 33,000,000 common shares (post-split) were issued to 29 investors in the Company's SB-2 offering for the aggregate sum of $55,000 in cash. The Regulation SB-2 offering was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 15, 2005 and completed in March 2005.

On June 9, 2006, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation to increase its authorized capital stock to 310,000,000 authorized shares, consisting of 300,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 each, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 each. The Company's Board of Directors may issue the preferred stock in one of more series, with such voting powers, designations, preferences and rights or qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof as shall be stated in the resolution or resolutions adopted by them.

Effective August 9, 2006, the Company closed a private placement of Units of its securities. 10,854,700 Units were issued at a price of $1.00 per Unit, resulting in gross proceeds of $10,854,700. 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 of 1993, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Rule 506 of Regulation D under the Securities Act. Each Unit consisted 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 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. Following the closing of the offering, the funds will remain in escrow until a suitable acquisition candidate in the unconventional petroleum industry 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.

On May 6, 2006 the Company issued $1,000,000 of convertible debentures (see note 10 below) to two accredited investors. The Debentures converted into Units on August 9, 2006 at a conversion price of $1.00 per Unit for a total of 1,000,000 Units. Each Unit consisted of one share, on a post-split basis, of the Company's 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.

As at April 30, 2007 there are 11,854,700 Warrants outstanding. 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.

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 3 companies deemed to be in the same industry as the company as 50.86%.

On August 1, 2006 the Company entered into a consulting agreement and a stock warrant agreement with Gregg Layton. Under the Stock Warrant Agreement, Mr. Layton received warrants to purchase 200,000 shares of our common stock (on a post-split basis as described below) with 50,000 warrants vesting on August 1, 2006.

The Company valued the warrants issued to Mr. Layton at a $21,620 value based on a closing price of $1.00, an exercise price of $2.00, and a term of 2 years. The Company used the average historical volatility of 3 companies deemed to be in the same industry as the Company as 50.86%.

The Company has issued no other options or entered into stock option agreements with any other persons.

As of June 26, 2006, the Company’s Board of Directors approved, and a majority of the Company’s stockholders ratified, the adoption of the Company’s 2006 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”), pursuant to which the Board of Directors is given the ability to provide incentives through the issuance of options, stock, restricted stock, and other stock-based awards, representing up to 6,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, to certain employees, outside directors, officers, consultants and advisors.

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.

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 "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. We are looking to invest in the exploration and development in the unconventional oil industry through an acquisition. 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 six months ended April 30, 2007 and since the date of inception, we have not generated any revenues.

We incurred total operating expenses of $1,420,726 for the six months ended April 30, 2007, as compared to total operating expenses of $4,778 for the six months ended April 30, 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 $209,792 for the six months ended April 30, 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 $625 the six months ended April 30, 2006. The office and administration expenses of $55,846 for the six months ended April 30, 2007 include rent, travel, telephone and other office expenses as compared to office and administration expenses of $4,111 for the six months ended April 30, 2006.
 
During the six months ended April 30, 2007, we agreed to purchase certain two dimensional seismic data (the "Seismic") from Synterra Technologies which relates to approximately 750 kilometers of land in northern Saskatchewan where the Company intends to explore deposits of oil sands. The seismic data was gathered by digitized sound waves penetrating the earth and being reflected by geologic formations, then analyzed by geophysicists and geologists. During the six months ended April 30, 2007, we incurred total costs of $1,124,029 which includes the purchase price of the seismic as well as the costs of analyzing and processing the data. These costs have been expensed as geophysical and geological expenses.
 
16

 
We earned total interest income of $238,260 for the six months ended April 30, 2007, as compared to total interest income of $0 for the six months ended April 30, 2006. The interest was earned on the proceeds of private placement on August 9, 2006 of $10,854,700 currently held in escrow as restricted cash.

Our total comprehensive loss for the six months ended April 30, 2007 was $1,183,748, as compared to total comprehensive loss of $2,995 for the six months ended April 30, 2006, and a total comprehensive loss of $1,508,622 from inception on October 12, 2004 to April 30, 2007.

We are still in our development stage and have not generated any revenues.

(1) The April 30, 2007 current assets include restricted cash - held in escrow of $10,854,407. These funds are held in escrow pending our entering a strategic transaction. That amount has subsequently been reduced by US$1,000,000. See “-Liquidity” below. If we fail to complete a business acquisition by August 8, 2007, subscription proceeds will be promptly returned to investors without interest or deduction.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At April 30, 2007, we had cash in the bank of Cdn$85,054 and US$307,458, (approximately US$384,074 in the aggregate). We also had US$136,808 in our attorney’s trust account.

On May 17, 2007, we loaned Access Energy, Inc. (“Access”) Cdn$250,000 (approximately US$227,506). These funds were placed into an escrow account and can only be disbursed to Access if we and Access issue joint written instructions to the escrow agent to do so. We are under no obligation, contingent or otherwise, to issue such instructions. The loan was made pursuant to a loan agreement and promissory note. The note becomes due on August 7, 2007 and bears interest at 9%, payable monthly. The loan will be forgiven if we engage in a transaction relating to the purchase of equity or all or a significant portion of Access’ assets where the proceeds of the loan offset part of our purchase price.

At April 30, 2007, we also have restricted cash of US$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 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 returned to investors without interest or deduction.

On May 24, 2007, we purchased the Seismic for US$1,044,886. US$1,000,000 was released from the restricted cash escrow account by four investors and the balance of the purchase price US$44,886 was paid from the existing cash accounts.

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. 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 April 30, 2007 was $10,364,184.

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.

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.

18

 
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 Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments (“SFAS No. 155”), which amends Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“SFAS No. 133”) and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 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 Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 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.

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. This Statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. This Statement applies to all entities, including not-for-profit organizations. Most of the provisions of this Statement apply only to entities that elect the fair value option. However, the amendment to FASB Statement No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, applies to all entities with available-for-sale and trading securities. The fair value option permits all entities to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at specified election dates. A business entity shall report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings (or another performance indicator if the business entity does not report earnings) at each subsequent reporting date. The fair value option may be applied instrument by instrument (with a few exceptions); is irrevocable (unless a new election date occurs); and is applied only to entire instruments and not to portions of instruments. This Statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provisions of FASB Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurement. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 159 to materially effect the Company’s financial position or results of operations. Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

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 President, Secretary, Chief Executive Officer 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 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 no 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.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

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 all or a significant portion of the assets of Access or its subsidiaries. We extended the period of exclusivity on March 9, 2007 to May 8, 2007, and again on May 4, 2007 through August 7, 2007. No additional consideration was paid for these extensions; and all other terms of the Exclusivity Agreement remain unchanged and in force.

On May 17, 2007, we loaned Access Energy, Inc. (“Access”) Cdn$250,000. These funds were placed into an escrow account and can only be disbursed to Access if we and Access issue joint written instructions to the escrow agent to do so. We are under no obligation, contingent or otherwise, to issue such instructions. The loan was made pursuant to a loan agreement and promissory note. The note becomes due on August 7, 2007 and bears interest at 9%, payable monthly. The loan will be forgiven if we engage in a transaction relating to the purchase of equity or all or a significant portion of Access’ assets where the proceeds of the loan offset part of our purchase price. We made this loan to assist Access in its negotiations with the Buffalo River Dene Nation to secure exclusive rights to explore and develop potential natural gas and petroleum reserves on land belonging to the Dene Nation.

On May 24, 2007, we purchased the Seismic. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis-Results of Operations."
 
At June 12, 2007, amount of restricted cash held in escrow was US$9,854,407.
