AUDITORS’
REPORT
To the
Shareholders of
Eagleford
Energy Inc.
We have
audited the consolidated balance sheets of Eagleford Energy Inc. (the “Company”)
as at August 31, 2010 and 2009 and the related consolidated statements of loss,
comprehensive loss and deficit, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of
the years in the three year period ended August 31, 2010. These
consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated
financial statements based on our audits.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing
standards and the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to
obtain reasonable assurance, about whether the consolidated financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
In our
opinion, these consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of the Company as at August 31, 2010 and 2009
and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in
the three year period ended August 31, 2010 in accordance with Canadian
generally accepted accounting principles which differ in certain respects from
generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (refer to Note
17).

COMMENTS
BY AUDITORS FOR U.S. READERS
ON CANADA
- - U.S. REPORTING DIFFERENCE
In the
United States, reporting standards for auditors require the addition of an
explanatory paragraph (following the opinion paragraph) when the consolidated
financial statements are affected by conditions and events that cast substantial
doubt on the Corporation’s ability to continue as a going concern, such as those
described in the summary of significant accounting policies. Although
we conducted our audits in accordance with both Canadian generally accepted
auditing standards and the Standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States), our report to the shareholders dated December 23, 2010 is
expressed in accordance with Canadian reporting standards, which do not permit a
reference to such events and conditions in the auditors’ report when these are
adequately disclosed in the consolidated financial statements.

Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Expressed
in Canadian Dollars)
For
the year ended August 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008
1. Nature
of Business
Eagleford
Energy Inc.’s (“Eagleford” or the “Company”) business focus consists of
acquiring, exploring and developing oil and gas interests. The recoverability of
the amount shown for these properties is dependent upon the existence of
economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain the
necessary financing to complete exploration and development, and future
profitable production or proceeds from disposition of such property. In addition
the Company holds a 0.3% net smelter return royalty on 8 mining claim blocks
located in Red Lake, Ontario which is carried on the consolidated balance sheets
at nil. The Company’s common shares trade on the NASD OTCBB under the symbol
EFRDF.
Going
Concern
These
consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis
which contemplates the realization of assets and the payment of liabilities in
the ordinary course of business. The Company plans to obtain additional
financing by way of debt or the issuance of common shares or some other means to
service its current working capital requirements, any additional or unforeseen
obligations or to implement any future opportunities. Should the Company be
unable to continue as a going concern, it may be unable to realize the carrying
value of its assets and to meet its liabilities as they become due. These
consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments for this
uncertainty.
The
Company has accumulated significant losses and negative cash flows from
operations in recent years which raises doubt as to the validity of the going
concern assumption. As at August 31, 2010, the Company had a working capital
deficiency of $744,262 and an accumulated deficit of $1,717,235. Management of
the Company does not have sufficient funds to meet its liabilities for the
ensuing twelve months as they fall due. In assessing whether the going concern
assumption is appropriate, management takes into account all available
information about the future, which is at least, but not limited to, twelve
months from the end of the reporting period. The Company's ability to continue
operations and fund its liabilities is dependent on management's ability to
secure additional financing and cash flow. Management is pursuing such
additional sources of financing and cash flow to fund its operations and while
it has been successful in doing so in the past, there can be no assurance it
will be able to do so in the future. Management is aware, in making its
assessment, of material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may
cast significant doubt upon the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern. Accordingly, they do not give effect to adjustments that would be
necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and
therefore realize its assets and liquidate its liabilities and commitments in
other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those in
the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
2. Significant
Accounting Policies
These
consolidated financial statements of Eagleford have been prepared in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in Canada. The preparation of our
consolidated financial statements in accordance with US GAAP have resulted in
differences to the consolidated balance sheet and the consolidated statement of
loss, comprehensive loss and deficit from the consolidated financial statements
prepared using Canadian GAAP (see Note 17).

For

2. Significant
Accounting Policies (cont’d)
Principles
of Consolidation
On
November 12, 2009, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary 1406768 Ontario Inc.,
changed its name to Eagleford Energy Inc. On November 30, 2009 the Company
amalgamated with Eagleford Energy Inc. and upon the amalgamation the entity's
new name is Eagleford Energy Inc. The consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of Eagleford, the legal parent, together with its wholly owned
subsidiaries, 1354166 Alberta Ltd. an Alberta operating company and Dyami Energy
LLC a Texas limited liability exploration stage company. All inter-company
account transactions have been eliminated on consolidation (see Note
4).
Oil and
Gas Interests
The
Company follows the successful efforts method of accounting for its oil and gas
interest. Under this method, costs related to the acquisition,
exploration, and development of oil and gas interests are capitalized. The
Company carries as an asset, exploratory well costs if a) the well found a
sufficient quantity of reserves to justify its completion as a producing well
and b) the Company is making sufficient progress assessing the reserves and the
economic and operating viability of the project. If a property is not productive
or commercially viable, its costs are written off to
operations. Impairment of non producing properties is assessed based
on management's expectations of the properties.
Depletion
and Depreciation
Depletion
of petroleum and natural gas properties and depreciation of production equipment
are calculated on the unit of production basis based on:
(a) total
estimated proved reserves calculated in accordance with National Instrument
51-101, Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities;
(b) total
capitalized costs, excluding undeveloped lands and unproved costs, plus
estimated future development costs of proved undeveloped reserves;
and
(c)
relative volumes of petroleum and natural gas reserves and production, before
royalties, converted at the energy equivalent conversion ratio of six thousand
cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel of oil.
Impairment
Test
The
Company performs a impairment test calculation in accordance with the Canadian
Institute of Chartered Accountants’ successful efforts method guidelines,
including an impairment test on undeveloped properties. The recovery of costs is
tested by comparing the carrying amount of the oil and natural gas assets to the
reserves report. If the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount, then
impairment would be recognized on the amount by which the carrying amount of the
assets exceeds the present value of expected cash flows using proved plus
probable reserves and expected future prices and costs. At August 31, 2010 the
Company recorded an impairment of $54,630 (2009 - $105,805).

Revenue
Recognition
Revenues
associated with the sale of crude oil and natural gas are recorded when the
title passes to the customer, the customer has assumed the risks and rewards of
ownership, prices are fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably
assured. The Company does not enter into ongoing arrangements whereby it is
required to repurchase its products, nor does the Company provide the customer
with a right of return.
Royalties
As is
normal to the industry, the Company's future production is subject to
royalties. These amounts are reported net of related tax
credits.
Transportation
Costs
paid by the Company for the transportation of natural gas, crude oil and natural
gas liquids from the wellhead to the point of title transfer are recognized when
the transportation is provided.
Environmental
and Site Restoration Costs
The
Company recognizes an estimate of the liability associated with an asset
retirement obligation (“ARO”) in the financial statements at the time the
liability is incurred. The estimated fair value of the ARO is recorded as a
long-term liability with a corresponding increase in the carrying amount of the
related asset. The capitalized amount is depleted on a straight-line basis over
the estimated life of the asset. The liability amount is increased each
reporting period due to the passage of time and the amount of accretion to
operations in the period. The ARO can also increase or decrease due to changes
in the estimates of timing of cash flows or changes in the original estimated
undiscounted cost. Actual costs incurred upon settlement of the ARO are charged
against the ARO to the extent of the liability recorded.
Foreign
Currencies
Monetary
assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than Canadian dollars are
translated at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary
items are translated at historical rates. Revenue and expense items are
translated at the average rates of exchange for the year. Exchange gains and
losses are included in the determination of net income for the
year.
Marketable
Securities
At each
financial reporting period, the Company estimates the fair value of investments
which are held-for-trading, based on quoted closing bid prices at the
consolidated balance sheet dates or the closing bid price on the last day the
security traded if there were no trades at the consolidated balance sheet dates
and such valuations are reflected in the consolidated financial statements. The
resulting values for unlisted securities whether of public or private issuers,
may not be reflective of the proceeds that could be realized by the Company upon
their disposition. The fair value of the securities at August 31, 2010 was $1
(2009 - $1) (see Note 6).

Financial
Instruments
All
financial instruments are recorded initially at estimated fair value on the
balance sheet and classified into one of five categories: held for trading, held
to maturity, available for sale, loans and receivables and other liabilities.
Cash and cash equivalents, and marketable securities are classified as held for
trading and measured at estimated fair value. Accounts receivable and due from
related party are classified as loans and receivables and measured at amortized
cost. Accounts payable, loan payable, Due to shareholder and Secured notes
payable are classified as other liabilities and measured at amortized
cost.
The
Company does not enter into derivative contracts (commodity price, interest rate
or foreign currency) in order to manage risk. The Company does not utilize
derivative contracts for speculative purposes, has not designated any derivative
contracts as hedges, and has not recorded any assets or liabilities as a result
of embedded derivatives.
The
estimated fair value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and
accounts payable approximate their carrying amounts due to their short terms to
maturity.
Cash and
cash equivalents
Cash and
cash equivalents include bank accounts, trust accounts, and term deposits with
maturities of less than three months.
Accounting
Estimates
The
preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with Canadian
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and the
disclosures of revenues and expenses for the reported year. Actual
results may differ from those estimates.
The
amounts recorded for depletion and amortization of oil and gas properties and
the valuation of these properties, are based on estimates of proved and probable
reserves, production rates, oil and gas prices, future costs and other relevant
assumptions. The effect on the consolidated financial statements of
changes in estimates in future periods could be significant.
Income
Taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability
method. Under this method, future income tax assets and liabilities
are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences
between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and
available loss carry forwards and are measured using the substantively enacted
tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to
be reversed. A valuation allowance is established to reduce tax
assets if it is more likely than not that all or some portions of such tax
assets will not be realized.

Non-Monetary
Transactions
Transactions
in which shares or other non-cash consideration are exchanged for assets or
services are measured at the fair value of the assets or services involved in
accordance with Section 3831 (“Non-monetary Transactions”) of the Canadian
Institute of Chartered Accountants Handbook (“CICA Handbook”).
Stock
Based Compensation
The
Company has a stock-based compensation plan. Any consideration
received on the exercise of stock options or sale of stock is credited to share
capital. The Company records compensation expense and credits contributed
surplus for all stock options granted. Stock options granted during the year are
accounted for in accordance with the fair value method of accounting for
stock-based compensation. The fair value for these options is estimated at the
date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
Loss Per
Share
Basic
loss per share is calculated by dividing the loss for the year by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted loss per
share is computed using the treasury stock method. Under this method, the
diluted weighted average number of shares is calculated assuming the proceeds
that arise from the exercise of stock options and other dilutive instruments are
used to repurchase the Company’s shares at their weighted average market price
for the period.
Warrants
When the
Company issues Units under a private placement comprising common shares and
warrants, the Company follows the relative fair value method of accounting for
warrants attached to and issued with common shares of the Company. Under this
method, the fair value of warrants issued is estimated using a Black-Scholes
option price model. The fair value is then related to the total of the net
proceeds received on issuance of the Common shares and the fair value of the
warrants issued therewith. The resultant relative fair value is allocated to
warrants from the net proceeds and the balance of the net proceeds is allocated
to the Common shares issued.
3. Change
in Accounting Policy and Future Accounting Changes
(a) EIC
Credit Risk
In
January 2009, the CICA’s EIC concluded that an entity’s own credit risk and the
credit risk of the counterparty should be taken into account in determining the
fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities, including derivative
instruments. The application of incorporating credit risk into the fair value
should result in entities re-measuring the financial assets and financial
liabilities as at the beginning of the period of adoption. This abstract should
be applied retrospectively without restatement of prior periods to all financial
assets and liabilities measured at fair value in interim and annual financial
statements for periods ending on or after January 20, 2009. Retrospective
application with restatement of prior periods is also permitted. The adoption of
this standard did not impact the financial position or results of operations of
the Company.

(b)
Financial Instruments – Disclosures
In June
2009, the Canadian Accounting Standards Board (“AcSB”) issued the amendments to
CICA Handbook Section 3862, Financial Instruments - Disclosures, which reflect
the corresponding amendments made by the International Accounting Standards
Board to IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures, in March 2009. The
amendments require that all financial instruments measured at fair value be
presented into one of the three hierarchy levels set forth below for disclosure
purposes. Each level is based on the transparency of the inputs used to measure
the fair value of assets and liabilities.
|
|
(i)
Level 1: Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices of identical instruments in
active markets.
|
|
|
(ii)
Level 2: Valuation models which utilize predominately observable market
inputs.
|
|
|
(iii)
Level 3: Valuation models which utilize predominately non-observable
market inputs.
|
The
classification of a financial instrument in the hierarchy is based upon the
lowest level of input that is significant to the measurement of fair value. The
amendments to Section 3862 also require additional disclosure relating to the
liquidity risk associated with financial instruments. The amendments improve
disclosure of financial instruments specifically as it relates to fair value
measurements and liquidity risk. The adoption of the amendments did not impact
the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
All
financial instruments of the Company are classified under level 1 of the
financial instrument hierarchy.
(c)
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
During
fiscal 2010 the Company adopted Section 3064, “Goodwill and Intangible Assets”.
This section replaces Section 3062, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” and
Section 3450, “Research and Development Costs”. Various changes have made to
other sections of the CICA Handbook for consistency purposes. Section 3064
establishes standards for the recognition, measurement, presentation and
disclosure of goodwill subsequent to its initial recognition and of intangible
assets by profit-oriented enterprises. Standards concerning goodwill are
unchanged from the standards included in the previous Section 3062. The adoption
of this standard did not have an impact on the Company’s financial
statements.
(d)
General Standard of Financial Statement Presentation
During
fiscal 2010, the Company adopted amended Section 1400, “General Standard of
Financial Statement Presentation” which includes requirements to assess and
disclose the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The adoption of
this new section did not have an impact on the Company’s financial
statements.

(e)
Future Accounting Changes
Business
Combinations, Consolidated Financial Statements and Non-controlling Interests –
The CICA issued three new accounting standards in January 2009: section 1582,
Business Combinations, section 1601, Consolidated Financial Statements, and
section 1602, Non-controlling interests. These new standards will be effective
for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2011. The Company is in the
process of evaluating the requirements of the new standards.
Section
1582 replaces section 1581, and establishes standards for the accounting for a
business combination. It provides the Canadian equivalent to International
Financial Reporting Standard IFRS 3 – Business Combinations. The section applies
prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or
after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after
January 1, 2011.
Sections
1601 and 1602 together replace 1600 – Consolidated Financial Statements, Section
1601, establishes standards for the preparation of consolidated financial
statements. Section 1601 applies to interim and annual consolidated financial
statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after January 1,
2011.
Section
1602 establishes standards for accounting for a non-controlling interest in a
subsidiary in consolidated financial statements subsequent to a business
combination. It is equivalent to the corresponding provisions of International
Financial Reporting Standard IAS 27 - Consolidated and Separate Financial
Statements and applies to interim and annual consolidated financial statements
relating to fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2011.
In
December 2009, the CICA issued EIC 175 – “Multiple Deliverable Revenue
Arrangements” replacing EIC 142 – “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple
Deliverables”. This abstract was amended to: (1) provide updated guidance on
whether multiple deliverables exist, how the deliverables in an arrangement
should be separated, and the consideration allocated; (2) require, in situations
where a vendor does not have vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) or
third-party evidence of selling price, that the entity allocate revenue in an
arrangement using estimated selling prices of deliverables; (3) eliminate the
use of the residual method and require an entity to allocate revenue using the
relative selling price method; and (4) require expanded qualitative and
quantitative disclosures regarding significant judgments made in applying this
guidance. The accounting changes summarized in EIC 175 are effective for fiscal
periods beginning on or after January 1, 2011, with early adoption permitted.
Adoption may either be on a prospective basis or by retrospective application.
If the Abstract is adopted early, in a reporting period that is not the first
reporting period in the entity’s fiscal period, it must be applied
retrospectively from the beginning of the Company’s fiscal period of adoption.
The Company expects to adopt EIC 175 effective January 1, 2011. The Company does
not believe the standard will have a material impact on its consolidated
financial statements.

Future Accounting Changes (cont’d)
In
February 2008, the Accounting Standards Board “(AcSB)” confirmed that the use of
IFRS will be required in 2011 for publicly accountable enterprises in Canada. In
April 2008, the AcSB issued an IFRS Omnibus Exposure Draft proposing that
publicly accountable enterprises be required to apply IFRS, in full and without
modification, for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2011. The
Company will issue its initial audited consolidated financial statements under
IFRS including comparative information for the year ending August 31,
2011.
The
eventual changeover to IFRS represents changes due to new accounting standards.
The transition from current Canadian GAAP to IFRS is a significant undertaking
that may materially affect the Company's reported financial position and results
of operations.
The
Company is assessing the potential impacts of this changeover and is developing
its IFRS changeover plan, which will include project structure and governance,
resourcing and training, analysis of key GAAP differences and a phased plan to
assess accounting policies under IFRS as well as potential exemptions to the
initial adoption of IFRS as permitted by IFRS Statement 1.

2010
Acquisition
On August
31, 2010, Eagleford acquired 100% the issued and outstanding membership
interests of Dyami Energy LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“Dyami
Energy”).The purchase price was satisfied by (i) the issuance of 3,418,467 units
of the Company. Each unit is comprised of one common share and one-half a
purchase warrant. Each full warrant is exercisable into one additional common
share at US$1.00 per share on or before August 31, 2014 (the “Units”); and (ii)
the assumption of US$960,000 of Dyami Energy debt by way of a secured promissory
note. The note bears interest at 6% per annum, is secured by the
Leases and is payable on December 31, 2011 or upon the Company closing a
financing or series of financings in excess of US$4,500,000.
The
members of Dyami Energy entered into lock up/escrow agreements on closing and
placed into escrow 50% of the Units (1,709,234 common shares and 854,617
purchase warrants) until such time that Company receives a National Instrument
51-101 compliant report from an independent engineering firm indicating at least
100,000 barrels of oil equivalent of proven reserves on either the Murphy Lease
or any formation below the San Miguel on the Matthews Lease (the
“Report”). In the event the Report is not received by Dyami Energy
within two years of the closing date of the acquisition, the escrow units are
returned to the Company for cancellation. In addition, without Eagleford’s prior
written consent, the members may not offer, sell, contract to sell, grant any
option to purchase, hypothecate, pledge, transfer title to or otherwise dispose
of any of the Units during the period commencing on August 31, 2010 and ending
on August 31, 2011 (the “Lock-Up Period”). During the Lock-Up Period, the
members may not effect or agree to effect any short sale or certain related
transactions with respect to the Eagleford’s common shares.

Retirement Obligation
The
Company’s asset retirement obligations result from net ownership interests in
natural gas assets including well sites, gathering systems and processing
facilities. The Company estimates the total undiscounted amount of cash flows
required to settle its asset retirement obligations at August 31, 2010 was
approximately $8,568 which will be incurred between 2011 and 2026 (2009 -
$8,840). A credit-adjusted risk-free rate of 7 percent and an annual inflation
rate of 5 percent were used to calculate the future asset retirement
obligation.

on the books of the Company at $5,209,330 and $263,134
respectively.
13. Seasonality
and Trend Information
The
Company’s oil and gas operations is not a seasonal business, but increased
consumer demand or changes in supply in certain months of the year can influence
the price of produced hydrocarbons, depending on the circumstances. Production
from the Company’s oil and gas properties is the primary determinant for the
volume of sales during the year.
The level
of activity in the oil and gas industry is influenced by seasonal weather
patterns. Wet weather and spring thaw may make the ground unstable.
Consequently, municipalities and provincial transportation departments enforce
road bans that restrict the movement of rigs and other heavy equipment, thereby
reducing activity levels. Also, certain oil and gas properties are located in
areas that are inaccessible except during the winter months because of swampy
terrain and other areas are inaccessible during certain months of year due to
deer hunting season. Seasonal factors and unexpected weather patterns may lead
to declines in exploration and production activity and corresponding declines in
the demand for the goods and services of the Company.
The
impact on the oil and gas industry from commodity price volatility is
significant. During periods of high prices, producers conduct active exploration
programs. Increased commodity prices frequently translate into very busy periods
for service suppliers triggering premium costs for their services. Purchasing
land and properties similarly increase in price during these periods. During low
commodity price periods, acquisition costs drop, as do internally generated
funds to spend on exploration and development activities. With decreased demand,
the prices charged by the various service suppliers also decline.
World oil
and gas prices are quoted in United States dollars and the price received by
Canadian producers is therefore effected by the Canadian/U.S. dollar exchange
rate, which will fluctuate over time. Material increases in the value of the
Canadian dollar may negatively impact production revenues from Canadian
producers. Such increases may also negatively impact the future value of such
entities' reserves as determined by independent evaluators. In recent years, the
Canadian dollar has increased materially in value against the United States
dollar.
The
economic impact that the Kyoto Protocol and other environmental initiatives will
have on the sector and changes relating to Alberta government royalty programs
implemented along with the New Royalty Framework will vary company to company
and the amount and degree of these impacts have yet to be
determined.

Credit
Risk
Credit
risk is the risk of a financial loss to the Company if a customer or
counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligation
and arises principally from joint venture partners and natural gas and oil
marketers. The Company is exposed to credit risk in respect to its accounts
receivable.
Cash and
cash equivalents are held in operating accounts with highly rated Canadian banks
and therefore the Company considers these assets to have negligible credit
risk.
Receivables
from petroleum and natural gas marketers are normally collected on the 25th day
of the month following production. The Company historically has not experienced
any collection issues with its petroleum and natural gas marketers. Joint
venture receivables are typically collected in one to three months of the joint
venture bill being issued to the partner. The Company attempts to mitigate the
risk from joint venture receivables by obtaining partner approval of significant
capital expenditures prior to the expenditure. However, the receivables are from
participants in the petroleum and natural gas sector, and collection of the
outstanding balances is dependent on industry factors such as commodity price
fluctuations, escalating costs and the risk of unsuccessful drilling. In
addition, a further risk exists with joint venture partners, such as
disagreements, that increase the potential for non-collection. The Company does
not typically obtain collateral from petroleum and natural gas marketers or
joint venture partners; however, the Company does have the ability to withhold
information and production from joint venture partners in the event of
non-payment.

Instruments and Risk Factors (cont’d)
As at
August 31, 2010 the Company’s accounts receivable was $53,060 (2009 $20,421) of
which $23,935 is due from government agencies (2009 $14,303), $5,797 is due from
a gas marketer (2009 $6,118) $15,391 is due from a joint venture partner (2009

Liquidity
Risk
Liquidity
risk includes the risk that, as a result of the Company’s operational liquidity
requirements:
- The
Company will not have sufficient funds to settle their obligations or other
transactions on the date they come due;
- The
Company will be forced to sell financial assets at a value which is less than
what they are worth; or
- The
Company may be unable to settle or recover a financial asset at
all.
The
Company’s operating cash requirements including amounts projected to complete
the Company’s existing capital expenditure program are continuously monitored
and adjusted as input variables change. These variables include but are not
limited to, shareholder loans, oil and natural gas production from existing
wells, results from new wells drilled, commodity prices, cost overruns on
capital projects and regulations relating to prices, taxes, royalties, land
tenure, allowable production and availability of markets. These variables create
liquidity risk which has necessitated the need to raise financing to meet
capital and operating cash-flow needs. The Company has liquidity risk which
necessitates the Company to obtain debt financing, enter into joint venture
arrangements, or raise equity. There is no assurance the Company will be able to
obtain the necessary financing in a timely manner.

Instruments and Risk Factors (cont’d)

Market
Risk
Market
risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position, results
of operations, or cash flows due to adverse changes in financial market prices,
including interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange rate risk, commodity
price risk, and other relevant market or price risks. The Company does not have
activities related to derivative financial instruments or derivative commodity
instruments. The Company holds marketable securities which have been written
down to $1 on our consolidated balance sheet.
The oil
and gas industry is exposed to a variety of risks including the uncertainty of
finding and recovering new economic reserves, the performance of hydrocarbon
reservoirs, securing markets for production, commodity prices, interest rate
fluctuations, potential damage to or malfunction of equipment and changes to
income tax, royalty, environmental or other governmental
regulations.
We
mitigate these risks to the extent we are able by:
• utilizing
competent, professional consultants as support teams to company
staff.
• performing
careful and thorough geophysical, geological and engineering analyses of each
prospect.
• focusing
on a limited number of core properties.
Market
risk is the possibility that a change in the prices for natural gas, natural gas
liquids, condensate and oil, foreign currency exchange rates, or interest rates
will cause the value of a financial instrument to decrease or become more costly
to settle.
Recent
market events and conditions, including disruptions in the international credit
markets and other financial systems and the deterioration of global economic
conditions, have caused significant volatility to commodity prices. These
conditions worsened in 2008 and continued in 2009, causing a loss of confidence
in the broader U.S. and global credit and financial markets and resulting in the
collapse of, and government intervention in, major banks, financial institutions
and insurers and creating a climate of greater volatility, less liquidity,
widening of credit spreads, a lack of price transparency, increased credit
losses and tighter credit conditions. Notwithstanding various actions by
governments, concerns about the general condition of the capital markets,
financial instruments, banks, investment banks, insurers and other financial
institutions caused the broader credit markets to further deteriorate and stock
markets to decline substantially. These factors have negatively impacted company
valuations and may impact the performance of the global economy going forward.
Although economic conditions improved towards the latter portion of 2009, as
anticipated, the recovery from the recession has been slow in various
jurisdictions including in Europe and the United States and has been impacted by
various ongoing factors including sovereign debt levels and high levels of
unemployment which continue to impact commodity prices and to result in high
volatility in the stock market.

Financial Instruments and Risk
Factors (cont’d)
(i)
Commodity Price Risk
Commodity
price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows will fluctuate
as a result of changes in commodity prices. Commodity prices for petroleum and
natural gas are impacted by world economic events that dictate the levels of
supply and demand.
The
Company believes that movement in commodity prices that are reasonably possible
over the next twelve month period will not have a significant impact on the
Company.
Commodity
Price Sensitivity
The
following table summarizes the sensitivity of the fair value of the Company’s
risk management position for the year ended August 31, 2010 and 2009 to
fluctuations in natural gas prices, with all other variables held constant. When
assessing the potential impact of these price changes, the Company believes that
10 percent volatility is a reasonable measure. Fluctuations in natural gas
prices potentially could have resulted in unrealized gains (losses) impacting
net income as follows:

(ii) Foreign
Exchange Risk
The
Company is exposed to the financial risk related to the fluctuation of foreign
exchange rates The prices received by the Company for the production of natural
gas and natural gas liquids are primarily determined in reference to U.S.
dollars but are settled with the Company in Canadian dollars. The Company’s cash
flow for commodity sales will therefore be impacted by fluctuations in foreign
exchange rates. The Company considers this risk to be limited.
The
Company operates in Canada and the United States and a portion of its expenses
are incurred in United States dollars. A significant change in the currency
exchange rates between the CDN dollar relative to US dollar could have an effect
on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash
flows.
The
Company is exposed to currency risk through the following assets and liabilities

Instruments and Risk Factors (cont’d)
(ii) Foreign
Exchange Risk (cont’d)
The
Company acquired all of the issued membership shares of Dyami Energy, a Texas
limited liability company on August 31, 2010 and accordingly its results from
operations, denominated in US dollars are not included in the Company’s
Financial Statements.
(iii) Interest
Rate Risk
Interest
rate risk refers to the risk that the value of a financial instrument or cash
flows associated with the instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market
interest rates. The majority of the Company’s debt is in fixed rate secured
notes payable. As at August 31, 2010 the Company did not have any interest rate
hedges.
Based on
management's knowledge and experience of the financial markets, the Company
believes that the movements in interest rates that are reasonably possible over
the next twelve month period will not have a significant impact on the
Company.
15. Capital
Management
The
Company’s objectives when managing capital is to safeguard the entity’s ability
to continue as a going concern. The Company sets the amount of capital in
proportion to risk. The Company manages the capital structure and makes
adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk
characteristics of any underlying assets. In order to maintain or adjust capital
structure the Company may from time to time issue equity, issue debt, adjust its
capital spending and sell assets to manage current and projected debt levels.
The board of directors does not establish quantitative return on capital
criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company's
management to sustain future development of the business.
As at
August 31, 2010 the Company considers its capital structure to include the
following:

The
Company is not subjected to any externally imposed capital

The
Company's accounting policies do not differ materially from accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States ("US GAAP") except for the
following:
Oil and
Gas Interests
In
applying the successful efforts method under US GAAP (Regulation S-X Article
4-10), the Company performs a ceiling test based on the same calculations used
for Canadian GAAP except the Company is required to discount future net revenues
from proved reserves at 10% as opposed to utilizing the fair market value and
probable reserves are excluded. During the year an impairment loss of
$104,630 (2009 - $179,443) for US GAAP and an impairment loss
of $54,630 (2009- $105,805) was recorded for Canadian GAAP.

Financial
Accounting Standards Board’s Codification of US GAAP
On July
1, 2009, the FASB’s Codification of US GAAP (the “Codification”) was issued to
create a consolidated reference source for all authoritative non-governmental US
GAAP. The Codification was not intended to change US GAAP, but rather reorganize
existing guidance by accounting topic to allow easier identification of
applicable standards. References in the Company’s consolidated financial
statements to US GAAP have been updated to reflect the
Codification.

17. Reconciliation
to Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United
States (cont’d)
Business
combinations
In
December 2007, the FASB issued ASC 805 — Business Combinations (“ASC 805”)
(formerly referred to as FAS 141R) which is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2008. ASC 805, which will replace FAS 141, is applicable to
business combinations consummated after the effective date of December 15, 2008.
This Standard modifies the accounting of certain aspects of business
combinations. The adoption of ASC 805 did not have a material impact on the
Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Non-controlling
interests
In
December 2007, the FASB also issued ASC 810 - Non-controlling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements (“ASC 810”). ASC 810 will change the
accounting and reporting for minority interests, which will be re-characterized
as non-controlling interests and classified as a component of equity. ASC 810
requires retroactive adoption of the presentation and disclosure requirements
for existing minority interests. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years
beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal
years. The adoption of ASC 810 did not have a material impact on the Company’s
consolidated financial statements.
Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities
In March
2008, the FASB issued ASC 815 “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities” (“ASC 815”). This Statement requires enhanced disclosures
about an entity’s derivative and hedging activities and thereby improves the
transparency of financial reporting. This Statement is effective for fiscal
years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early
application encouraged. This Statement encourages, but does not require,
comparative disclosures for earlier periods at initial adoption. The adoption of
ASC 815 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements.
Subsequent
events
In May
2009, the FASB issued ASC 855, “Subsequent Events” (“ASC 855”). This Statement
established general standards of accounting for and disclosures of events that
occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or
are available to be issued. In particular, this Statement details the period
after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity
should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition
or disclosure in the financial statements; the circumstances under which an
entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet
date in its financial statements; and the disclosures that an entity should make
about events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date. The
adoption of ASC 855 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated
financial statements.

17. Reconciliation
to Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United
States (cont’d)
The Fair
Value Measurement of Liabilities
In August
2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-05 “Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value” (“ASU
2009- 05”), which provides amendments to Subtopic 820-10 “Fair Value
Measurements and Disclosures — Overall” and is effective prospectively for
interim periods beginning after October 1, 2009 for the Company. ASU 2009-05
provides clarification that in circumstances in which a quoted price in an
active market for the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity
is required to measure fair value using one of the valuation techniques that
uses (a) the quoted price of the identical liability when traded as asset; (b)
quoted prices for similar liabilities when traded as assets; or another
valuation technique that is consistent with the principles of Topic 820 “Fair
Value Measurements and Disclosures”. Therefore, the fair value of the liability
shall reflect non-performance risk, including but not limited to a reporting
entity’s own credit risk. ASU 2009-05 also clarifies that when estimating the
fair value of a liability, a reporting entity is not required to include a
separate input or adjustment to other inputs relating to the existence of a
restriction that prevents the transfer of liability. The adoption of ASU 2009-05
will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements.
Equity
method investees
The
Company adopted the FASB’s guidance on equity method investment accounting
considerations which is included in ASC 323 — Investments — Equity Method and
Joint Ventures and applicable for fiscal years beginning on or after December
15, 2008. The guidance indicates when investments accounted for using the equity
method are impaired and the appropriate initial measurement and accounting for
subsequent changes in ownership percentages. The adoption of this guidance did
not result in a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial
statements.
Future
U.S. Accounting Policy Changes
Accounting
of Transfers of Financial Assets an amendment of FASB No. 140
In June
2009, FASB issued Statement No. 166, Accounting of Transfers of Financial Assets
an amendment of FASB No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of
Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities. This statement is now known
as ASC 860. This Statement improves the relevance, representational
faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity
provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial assets; the
effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash
flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement, if any, in transferred
financial assets. The Board undertook this project to address (1) practices that
have developed since the issuance of FASB Statement No. 140, Accounting for
Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities
that are not consistent with the original intent and key requirements of that
Statement and (2) concerns of financial statement users that many of the
financial assets (and related obligations) that have been derecognized should
continue to be reported in the financial statements of transferors. This
Statement must be applied as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first
annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods
within that first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting
periods thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. The Company does not
believe that the new standard will have any material impact to the Company’s
consolidated financial statements.

Variable
interest entities an Amendment to FASB Interpretation No.46(R)
In June
2009, FASB issued Statement No. 167, Amendment to FASB Interpretation No.46(R).
This Statement improves financial reporting by enterprises involved with
variable interest entities. The Board undertook this project to address (1) the
effects on certain provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December
2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, as a result of the
elimination of the qualifying special-purpose entity concept in FASB Statement
No. 166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets, and (2) constituent
concerns about the application of certain key provisions of Interpretation
46(R), including those in which the accounting and disclosures under the
Interpretation do not always provide timely and useful information about an
enterprise’s involvement in a variable interest entity. This Statement shall be
effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting
period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that
first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods
thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. The Company does not believe that
the new standard will have any material impact to the Company’s consolidated
financial statements.
In
December 2008, the SEC published its final rule, (SAB 113) Modernization of Oil
and Gas reporting requirements, to modernize and update oil and gas disclosure
requirements and align them with current practice and change in
technology. The Final Rule is effective for registration statements
filed on or after January 1, 2010 and for annual reports on Forms 10-K and 20-F
for fiscal years ending on or December 31, 2009. Adoption of this
Rule on had no effect on the Company’s financial statements.
18. Contractual
Obligations and Commitments
The
Company has development commitments on its Mathews Lease and Murphy Lease in
order to keep the leases in good standing (see Note 7).
19. Subsequent
Events
During
August 2010, Dyami Energy commenced operations to drill its Dyami/Matthews #1-H
well on the Matthews Lease to a measured depth of 8,563 feet, of which 5,114
feet was vertical depth into the Del Rio formation. The well was whipstocked at
the top of the Austin Chalk formation and drilled with an 800 foot curve and
extended horizontaly, 3,300 feet into the Eagle Ford shale formation. The well
reached total measured depth on October 15, 2010.
On
September 17, 2010, 500,000 common share purchase warrants were exercised at
$0.07 expiring February 5, 2014 for proceeds of $35,000.
On
September 24, 2010 600,000 common share purchase warrants were exercised at
$0.07 expiring February 27, 2014 for proceeds of $42,000.
Subsequent
to the year end, the Company received US$1,360,000 and CDN$149,000 and issued
promissory notes to four shareholders. The notes are payable on demand and bear
interest at 10% per annum. Interest is payable annually on the anniversary date
of the notes.

theDyami/Matthews #1-H on the Matthews Lease. For the year ended August 31, 2010
the Company incurred $10,049 in exploration expenditures
The
Company expects to apply additional capital to further enhance our property
interests. As part of the Company’s oil and gas development program, management
of the Company anticipates further expenditures to expand its existing portfolio
of proved reserves. Amounts expended on future exploration and development is
dependent on the nature of future opportunities evaluated by the Company. These
expenditures could be funded through cash held by the Company or through cash
flow from operations. Any expenditure which exceeds available cash will be
required to be funded by additional share capital or debt issued by the Company,
or by other means. The Company’s long-term profitability will depend upon its
ability to successfully implement its business plan.
The
Company’s past primary source of liquidity and capital resources has been loans
and advances, cash flow from oil and gas operations and proceeds from the sale
of marketable securities and from the issuance of common shares.
RISK
AND UNCERTAINTIES
The
Company’s producing wells are subject to normal levels of decline and
unavoidable changes in operating conditions in facilities operated by third
parties. There is an existing and available market for the oil and gas produced
from the properties. However, the prices obtained for production are subject to
market fluctuations, which are affected by many factors, including supply and
demand. Numerous factors beyond our control, which could affect pricing
include:
|
·
|
volatility
in market prices for oil and natural
gas;
|
|
·
|
the
level of consumer product demand;
|
|
·
|
weather
conditions;
|
|
·
|
the
foreign supply of oil and gas;
|
|
·
|
the
price of foreign imports; and
|
|
·
|
ability
to raise financing;
|
|
·
|
reliance
on third party operators;
|
|
·
|
ability
to find or produce commercial quantities of oil and natural
gas;
|
|
·
|
liabilities
inherent in oil and natural gas
operations;
|
|
·
|
dilution
of interests in oil and natural gas
properties;
|
|
·
|
general
business and economic conditions;
|
|
·
|
the
ability to attract and retain skilled
staff;
|
|
·
|
uncertainties
associated with estimating oil and natural gas
reserves;
|
|
·
|
competition
for, among other things, financings, acquisitions of reserves, undeveloped
lands and skilled personnel; and
|
|
·
|
government
regulation and environmental
legislation.
|
The
Company cautions that the foregoing list of important factors is not exhaustive.
Investors and others who base themselves on the Company’s forward-looking
statements should carefully consider the above factors as well as the
uncertainties they represent and the risk they entail. The Company also cautions
readers not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.
Moreover, the forward-looking statements may not be suitable for establishing
strategic priorities and objectives, future strategies or actions, financial
objectives and projections other than those mentioned above. (For additional
risk factors, please see the Company’s Annual Information Form filed on Form
20F).

risk is the risk of a financial loss to the Company if a customer or
counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligation
and arises principally from joint venture partners and natural gas and oil
marketers. The Company is exposed to credit risk in respect to its cash and cash
equivalents and accounts receivable.

cash equivalents are held in operating accounts with highly rated Canadian banks
and therefore the Company considers these assets to have negligible credit
risk.
Receivables
from petroleum and natural gas marketers are normally collected on the 25thday of
the month following production. The Company historically has not experienced any
collection issues with its petroleum and natural gas marketers. Joint venture
receivables are typically collected in one to three months of the joint venture
bill being issued to the partner. The Company attempts to mitigate the risk from
joint venture receivables by obtaining partner approval of significant capital
expenditures prior to the expenditure. However, the receivables are from
participants in the petroleum and natural gas sector, and collection of the
outstanding balances is dependent on industry factors such as commodity price
fluctuations, escalating costs and the risk of unsuccessful drilling. In
addition, a further risk exists with joint venture partners, such as
disagreements, that increase the potential for non-collection. The Company does
not typically obtain collateral from petroleum and natural gas marketers or
joint venture partners; however, the Company does have the ability to withhold
information and production from joint venture partners in the event of
non-payment.
As at
August 31, 2010 the Company’s accounts receivable was $53,060 (2009 $20,421) of
which $23,935 is due from government agencies (2009 $14,303), $5,797 is due from
a gas marketer (2009 $6,118) $15,391 is due from a joint venture partner (2009
$Nil) and the balance of $7,937 is due from other trade
receivables.
The
carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable represents

Liquidity
Risk
Liquidity
risk includes the risk that, as a result of the Company’s operational liquidity
requirements:
4
|
|
-
|
The
Company will not have sufficient funds to settle their obligations or
other transactions on the date they come
due;
|
|
|
-
|
The
Company will be forced to sell financial assets at a value which is less
than what they are worth; or
|
|
|
-
|
The
Company may be unable to settle or recover a financial asset at
all.
|
The
Company’s operating cash requirements including amounts projected to complete
the Company’s existing capital expenditure program are continuously monitored
and adjusted as input variables change. These variables include but are not
limited to, shareholder loans, oil and natural gas production from existing
wells, results from new wells drilled, commodity prices, cost overruns on
capital projects and regulations relating to prices, taxes, royalties, land
tenure, allowable production and availability of markets. These variables create
liquidity risk which has necessitated the need to raise financing to meet
capital and operating cash-flow needs. The Company has liquidity risk which
necessitates the Company to obtain debt financing, enter into joint venture
arrangements, or raise equity. There is no assurance the Company will be able to
obtain the necessary financing in a timely manner.

Market
Risk
Market
risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position, results
of operations, or cash flows due to adverse changes in financial market prices,
including interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange rate risk, commodity
price risk, and other relevant market or price risks. We do not have activities
related to derivative financial instruments or derivative commodity instruments.
We hold equity securities which have been written down to $1 on our consolidated
balance sheet.
The oil
and gas industry is exposed to a variety of risks including the uncertainty of
finding and recovering new economic reserves, the performance of hydrocarbon
reservoirs, securing markets for production, commodity prices, interest rate
fluctuations, potential damage to or malfunction of equipment and changes to
income tax, royalty, environmental or other governmental
regulations.
We
mitigate these risks to the extent we are able by:
• utilizing
competent, professional consultants as support teams to company
staff.
• performing
careful and thorough geophysical, geological and engineering analyses of each
prospect.
• focusing
on a limited number of core properties.
Market
risk is the possibility that a change in the prices for natural gas, natural gas
liquids, condensate and oil, foreign currency exchange rates, or interest rates
will cause the value of a financial instrument to decrease or become more costly
to settle.
Recent
market events and conditions, including disruptions in the international credit
markets and other financial systems and the deterioration of global economic
conditions, have caused significant volatility to commodity prices. These
conditions worsened in 2008 and continued in 2009, causing a loss of confidence
in the broader U.S. and global credit and financial markets and resulting in the
collapse of, and government intervention in, major banks, financial institutions
and insurers and creating a climate of greater volatility, less liquidity,
widening of credit spreads, a lack of price transparency, increased credit
losses and tighter credit conditions. Notwithstanding various actions by
governments, concerns about the general condition of the capital markets,
financial instruments, banks, investment banks, insurers and other financial
institutions caused the broader credit markets to further deteriorate and stock
markets to decline substantially. These factors have negatively impacted company
valuations and may impact the performance of the global economy going forward.
Although economic conditions improved towards the latter portion of 2009, as
anticipated, the recovery from the recession has been slow in various
jurisdictions including in Europe and the United States and has been impacted by
various ongoing factors including sovereign debt levels and high levels of
unemployment which continue to impact commodity prices and to result in high
volatility in the stock market.

(i)
|
Commodity
Price Risk
|
Commodity
price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows will fluctuate
as a result of changes in commodity prices. Commodity prices for petroleum and
natural gas are impacted by world economic events that dictate the levels of
supply and demand.
The
Company believes that movement in commodity prices that are reasonably possible
over the next twelve month period will not have a significant impact on the
Company.
Commodity
Price Sensitivity:
The
following table summarizes the sensitivity of the fair value of the Company’s
risk management position for the year ended August 31, 2010 and 2009 to
fluctuations in natural gas prices, with all other variables held constant. When
assessing the potential impact of these price changes, the Company believes that
10 percent volatility is a reasonable measure. Fluctuations in natural gas
prices potentially could have resulted in unrealized gains (losses) impacting
net income as follows:

Foreign
Exchange Risk
|
The
Company is exposed to the financial risk related to the fluctuation of foreign
exchange rates The prices received by the Company for the production of natural
gas and natural gas liquids are primarily determined in reference to U.S.
dollars but are settled with the Company in Canadian dollars. The Company’s cash
flow for commodity sales will therefore be impacted by fluctuations in foreign
exchange rates. The Company considers this risk to be limited.
The
Company operates in Canada and the United States and a portion of its expenses
are incurred in United States dollars. A significant change in the currency
exchange rates between the CDN dollar relative to US dollar could have an effect
on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash
flows.
The
Company is exposed to currency risk through the following assets and liabilities
denominated in US$ at August 31, 2010 (2009 $Nil):

Interest
Rate Risk
|
Interest
rate risk refers to the risk that the value of a financial instrument or cash
flows associated with the instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market
interest rates. The majority of the Company’s debt is in fixed rate secured
notes payable. As at August 31, 2010 the Company did not have any interest rate
hedges.
6
Based on
management's knowledge and experience of the financial markets, the Company
believes that the movements in interest rates that are reasonably possible over
the next twelve month period will not have a significant impact on the
Company.
CAPITAL
MANAGEMENT
The
Company’s objectives when managing capital is to safeguard the entity’s ability
to continue as a going concern. The Company sets the amount of capital in
proportion to risk. The Company manages the capital structure and makes
adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk
characteristics of any underlying assets. In order to maintain or adjust capital
structure the Company may from time to time issue equity, issue debt, adjust its
capital spending and sell assets to manage current and projected debt levels.
The board of directors does not establish quantitative return on capital
criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company's
management to sustain future development of the business.
As at
August 31, 2010 the Company considers its capital structure to include the

were no changes in the Company’s capital management during the period ended
August 31, 2010.
The
Company is not subjected to any externally imposed capital
requirements.

acquisition of 1354166 Alberta Ltd.
Administrative
Expenses
Administrative
expenses for the year ended August 31, 2010 were $653,153 compared to $276,815
for the year ended August 31, 2009. The increase in expenses during fiscal 2010

$24,965 in 2009. In addition the Company recorded imputed interest of $5,750
versus $Nil in the prior period in 2009.These higher costs in 2010 were
partially offset by a reduction in the write down of oil and gas interests of
$51,175 to $54,630 when compared to $105,805 during fiscal 2009 and a reduction
of general and office costs of $2,676 to $2,474 when compared to $5,150 in
fiscal 2009. Higher administrative expenses during the fiscal 2010 are
attributed to increased operations and the acquisition of Dyami
Energy.

expenses for the year ended August 31, 2009 were $276,815 compared to $50,782
for the year ended August 31, 2008. The increase in expenses during fiscal 2009

of $105,805, compared to $528 in the prior period in 2008, an increase in
professional fees of $80,162 to $106,770 compared to $26,608 in 2008, an

$12,000 in the prior period and an increase in general and office costs of
$4,897 to $5,150 compared to $253 for the year ended August 31, 2008. Higher
administrative expenses during the fiscal 2009 were partially attributed to the
Company becoming a reporting issuer with the United States Securities and
Exchange Commission and increased operations resulting from the acquisition of
1354166 Alberta Ltd. In fiscal 2008 the Company recorded an expense recovery of
$7,718 compared to $Nil in the current fiscal year 2009.
Interest
Income
For the
year ended August 31, 2010 interest income was $30 compared to$1,580 for the
comparable period in 2009. The decrease in interest income during 2010 is
attributed to the decrease in cash held by the Company.

comparable period in 2008.
Net

Revenue
for the four quarters in 2010 fluctuated as a result of changes in production
volume and commodity prices received. The increase in net loss and comprehensive
loss for the quarter ending August 31, 2010 was primarily attributed to the
Company recording a consulting fee of $326,511 upon the issuance of warrants and
higher administrative expenses due increased operations and the acquisition of
Dyami Energy. During the fourth quarter the Company incurred an increase in
professional fees for year-end audit costs and costs associated with the
evaluation of the Company’s reserves.

Revenue
for the quarters for the May and August 2009 increased as a result of the
acquisition of 1354166 Alberta Ltd. The increase in net loss and comprehensive
loss for the quarter ending August 31, 2009 was primarily attributed to a write
down of oil and gas interests, an increase in professional fees including
year-end audit costs, transfer and registrar costs, office and general expenses,
management fees and head office services, and costs associated with the
evaluation of the Company’s reserves.
FOURTH
QUARTER RESULTS
Production
Volume
For the
three months ended August 31, 2010 average natural gas sales volumes were 68
mcf/d compared to 84 mcf/d for the comparable period in 2009. Total production
volume for the three months ended August 31, 2010 was 6,227 mcf compared to
7,728 mcf for the same three month period ending August 31, 2009. The decrease
in production volume in 2010 is primarily related to natural production declines
from the Company’s Botha, Alberta gas unit.
Commodity
Prices
For the
three months ended August 31, 2010 average natural gas sales prices received per
mcf increased to $3.75 compared to $2.99 for the three month period ended August
31, 2009.

Revenue
Revenue
increased by $286 to $23,363 for the three months ending August 31, 2010
compared to $23,078 for the three months ending August 31, 2009. Higher
commodity prices received was responsible for the increase in
revenue.
Operating
Costs
Operating
costs were $50,102for the three months ending August 31, 2010 representing a
slight decrease compared to $51,876 for the three months ending August 31,

Depletion
for the three months ending August 31, 2010 was $12,526 compared to depletion of
$18,374 for the three months ending August 31, 2009. The decrease in depletion
for the three months ending August 31, 2010 was a result of lower production
volume.

to $477,330 compared to $202,937 for the same period in 2009. The primary
increase in administrative expenses for the three months ending August 31, 2010
relate to expense consulting fee of $326,511 recorded upon the issuance of
warrants versus $Nil for the three month period in 2009 partially offset by a
write-down of oil and gas interest of $54,630 compared to a write-down of oil
and gas interests in the prior three month period in 2009 of
$105,805.
Interest
For the
three months ending August 31, 2010 interest income was $Nil compared to

include the following items: cash $43,776 ($172,905 as of August 31, 2009);
marketable securities $1 ($1 as of August 31, 2009); accounts receivable-
$53,060 ($20,421 as of August 31, 2009) and due from related party $1,325 ($Nil
as of August 31, 2009).
Our
current liabilities of $842,424 as of August 31, 2010 ($330,699 as of August 31,
2009) include the following items: accounts payable of $488,741 ($152,984 as of
August 31, 2009); income taxes payable of $Nil ($10,215 as of August 31, 2009);
and due to shareholder and loan payable of $167,500 ($167,500 as of August 31,
2009).
At August
31, 2010 the Company had outstanding 2,575,000 common share purchase warrants
exercisable at $0.20 per share, 10,760,820 common share purchase warrants
exercisable at $0.07 per share, 333,333 common share purchase warrants
exercisable at US$1.00 per share, 166,667 common share purchase warrants
exercisable at US$1.50 per share and 1,709,233 common share purchase warrants
exercisable at US$1.00 per share. If any of these common share
purchase warrants are exercised it would generate additional capital for
us.
In August
2010, Dyami Energy commenced operations to drill its 85% working interest
Initial Test well, the Dyami/Matthews #1-H on the Matthews Lease, Texas.
Net estimated costs for drilling and the initial completion of the well are
approximately US$1,700,000. Subsequent to the year end the Company
received CDN $77,000 upon the exercise of warrants and raised debt financing in
the amount of US $1,660,000 and CDN $149,000.
Management
of the Company recognizes that cash flow from operations is not sufficient to
expand its oil and gas operations and reserves or meet its working capital
requirements. The Company has liquidity risk which necessitates the Company to
obtain debt financing, enter into joint venture arrangements, or raise equity.
There is no assurance the Company will be able to obtain the necessary financing
in a timely manner.
The
Company’s past primary source of liquidity and capital resources has been loans
and advances, cash flow from oil and gas operations, proceeds from the sale of
marketable securities and the issuance of common shares.
If
the Company issued additional common shares from treasury it would cause the
current shareholders of the Company dilution.

SEASONALITY
AND TREND INFORMATION
The
Company’s oil and gas operations is not a seasonal business, but increased
consumer demand or changes in supply in certain months of the year can influence
the price of produced hydrocarbons, depending on the circumstances. Production
from the Company’s oil and gas properties is the primary determinant for the
volume of sales during the year.
The level
of activity in the oil and gas industry is influenced by seasonal weather
patterns. Wet weather and spring thaw may make the ground unstable.
Consequently, municipalities and provincial transportation departments enforce
road bans that restrict the movement of rigs and other heavy equipment, thereby
reducing activity levels. Also, certain oil and gas properties are located in
areas that are inaccessible except during the winter months because of swampy
terrain and other areas are inaccessible during certain months of year due to
deer hunting season. Seasonal factors and unexpected weather patterns may lead
to declines in exploration and production activity and corresponding declines in
the demand for the goods and services of the Company.
The
impact on the oil and gas industry from commodity price volatility is
significant. During periods of high prices, producers conduct active exploration
programs. Increased commodity prices frequently translate into very busy periods
for service suppliers triggering premium costs for their services. Purchasing
land and properties similarly increase in price during these periods. During low
commodity price periods, acquisition costs drop, as do internally generated
funds to spend on exploration and development activities. With decreased demand,
the prices charged by the various service suppliers also decline.
World oil
and gas prices are quoted in United States dollars and the price received by
Canadian producers is therefore effected by the Canadian/U.S. dollar exchange
rate, which will fluctuate over time. Material increases in the value of the
Canadian dollar may negatively impact production revenues from Canadian
producers. Such increases may also negatively impact the future value of such
entities' reserves as determined by independent evaluators. In recent years, the
Canadian dollar has increased materially in value against the United States
dollar.
The
economic impact that the Kyoto Protocol and other environmental initiatives will
have on the sector and changes relating to Alberta government royalty programs
implemented along with the New Royalty Framework will vary company to company
and the amount and degree of these impacts have yet to be
determined.

SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Going
Concern
These
consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis
which contemplates the realization of assets and the payment of liabilities in
the ordinary course of business. The Company plans to obtain additional
financing by way of debt or the issuance of common shares or some other means to
service its current working capital requirements, any additional or unforeseen
obligations or to implement any future opportunities. Should the Company be
unable to continue as a going concern, it may be unable to realize the carrying
value of its assets and to meet its liabilities as they become due. These
consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments for this
uncertainty.
The
Company has accumulated significant losses and negative cash flows from
operations in recent years which raises doubt as to the validity of the going
concern assumption. As at August 31, 2010, the Company had a working capital
deficiency of $744,262 and an accumulated deficit of $1,717,235. Management of
the Company does not have sufficient funds to meet its liabilities for the
ensuing twelve months as they fall due. In assessing whether the going concern
assumption is appropriate, management takes into account all available
information about the future, which is at least, but not limited to, twelve
months from the end of the reporting period. The Company's ability to continue
operations and fund its liabilities is dependent on management's ability to
secure additional financing and cash flow. Management is pursuing such
additional sources of financing and cash flow to fund its operations and while
it has been successful in doing so in the past, there can be no assurance it
will be able to do so in the future. Management is aware, in making its
assessment, of material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may
cast significant doubt upon the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern. Accordingly, they do not give effect to adjustments that would be
necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and
therefore realize its assets and liquidate its liabilities and commitments in
other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those in
the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Principles
of Consolidation
On
November 12, 2009, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary 1406768 Ontario Inc.
changed its name to Eagleford Energy Inc. On November 30, 2009 the Company
amalgamated with Eagleford Energy Inc. and upon the amalgamation the entity's
new name is Eagleford Energy Inc. The consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of Eagleford, the legal parent, together with its wholly-owned
subsidiaries, 1354166 Alberta Ltd. an Alberta operating company and Dyami Energy
LLC a Texas limited liability exploration stage company. All inter-company
accounts transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.
Oil
and Gas Interests
The
Company follows the successful efforts method of accounting for its oil and gas
interest. Under this method, costs related to the acquisition,
exploration, and development of oil and gas interests are capitalized. The
Company carries as an asset, exploratory well costs if a) the well found a
sufficient quantity of reserves to justify its completion as a producing well
and b) the Company is making sufficient progress assessing the reserves and the
economic and operating viability of the project. If a property is not productive
or commercially viable, its costs are written off to
operations. Impairment of non-producing properties is assessed based
on management's expectations of the properties.
Depletion
and Depreciation
Depletion
of petroleum and natural gas properties and depreciation of production equipment
are calculated on the unit of production basis based on:
(a) total estimated proved reserves
calculated in accordance with National Instrument 51-101, Standards of
Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities;
(b) total capitalized costs, excluding
undeveloped lands and unproved costs, plus estimated future development costs of
proved undeveloped reserves; and
16
(c) relative volumes of petroleum and
natural gas reserves and production, before royalties, converted at the energy
equivalent conversion ratio of six thousand cubic feet of natural gas to one
barrel of oil.
Impairment
Test
The
Company performs a impairment test calculation in accordance with the Canadian
Institute of Chartered Accountants’ successful efforts method guidelines,
including an impairment test on undeveloped properties. The recovery of costs is
tested by comparing the carrying amount of the oil and natural gas assets to the
reserves report. If the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount, then
impairment would be recognized on the amount by which the carrying amount of the
assets exceeds the present value of expected cash flows using proved plus
probable reserves and expected future prices and costs. At August 31, 2010 the
Company recorded an impairment of $54,630 (2009 - $105,805).
Revenue
Recognition
Revenues
associated with the sale of crude oil and natural gas are recorded when the
title passes to the customer. The customer has assumed the risks and rewards of
ownership, prices are fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably
assured. The
Company does not enter into ongoing arrangements whereby it is required to
repurchase its products, nor does the Company provide the customer with a right
of return.
Royalties
As is
normal to the industry, the Company's future production is subject to crown
royalties. These amounts are reported net of related tax
credits.
Transportation
Costs
paid by the Company for the transportation of natural gas, crude oil and natural
gas liquids from the wellhead to the point of title transfer are recognized when
the transportation is provided.
Joint
venture operations
Substantially
all of the Company's oil and gas activities are conducted jointly with others.
These financial statements reflect only the Company's proportionate interest in
such activities.
Environmental and Site
Restoration Costs
The
Company recognizes an estimate of the liability associated with an asset
retirement obligation (“ARO”) in the financial statements at the time the
liability is incurred. The estimated fair value of the ARO is recorded as a
long-term liability with a corresponding increase in the carrying amount of the
related asset. The capitalized amount is depleted on a straight-line basis over
the estimated life of the asset. The liability amount is increased each
reporting period due to the passage of time and the amount of accretion to
operations in the period. The ARO can also increase or decrease due to changes
in the estimates of timing of cash flows or changes in the original estimated
undiscounted cost. Actual costs incurred upon settlement of the ARO are charged
against the ARO to the extent of the liability recorded.
Foreign
Currencies
Assets
and liabilities denominated in currencies other than Canadian dollars are
translated at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenue and
expense items are translated at the average rates of exchange for the year.
Exchange gains and losses are included in the determination of net income for
the year
Marketable
Securities
At each
financial reporting period, the Company estimates the fair value of investments
which are held-for-trading, based on quoted closing bid prices at the
consolidated balance sheet dates or the closing bid price on the last day the
security traded if there were no trades at the consolidated balance sheet dates
and such valuations are reflected in the consolidated financial statements. The
resulting values for unlisted securities whether of public or private issuers,
may not be reflective of the proceeds that could be realized by the Company upon
their disposition. The fair value of the securities at August 31, 2010 was $1
(2009 - $1)
Financial
Instruments
All
financial instruments are recorded initially at estimated fair value on the
balance sheet and classified into one of five categories: held for trading, held
to maturity, available for sale, loans and receivables and other liabilities.
Cash and cash equivalents, and investments are classified as held for trading
and measured at estimated fair value. Accounts receivable and due from related
party are classified as loans and receivables and measured at amortized cost.
Accounts payable, loan payable, Due to shareholder and Secured notes payable are
classified as other liabilities and measured at amortized cost.
17
The
Company does not enter into derivative contracts (commodity price, interest rate
or foreign currency) in order to manage risk. The Company does not utilize
derivative contracts for speculative purposes, has not designated any derivative
contracts as hedges, and has not recorded any assets or liabilities as a result
of embedded derivatives.
The
estimated fair value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and
accounts payable approximate their carrying amounts due to their short terms to
maturity.
Cash
and cash equivalents
Cash and
cash equivalents include bank accounts, trust accounts, and term deposits with
maturities of less than three months.
Accounting
Estimates
The
preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with Canadian
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and the
disclosures of revenues and expenses for the reported year. Actual
results may differ from those estimates.
The
amounts recorded for depletion and amortization of oil and gas properties and
the valuation of these properties, are based on estimates of proved and probable
reserves, production rates, oil and gas prices, future costs and other relevant
assumptions. The effect on the consolidated financial statements of
changes in estimates in future periods could be significant.
Income
Taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability
method. Under this method, future income tax assets and liabilities
are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences
between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and
available loss carry forwards and are measured using the substantively enacted
tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to
be reversed. A valuation allowance is established to reduce tax
assets if it is more likely than not that all or some portions of such tax
assets will not be realized.
Non-Monetary
Transactions
Transactions
in which shares or other non-cash consideration are exchanged for assets or
services are measured at the fair value of the assets or services involved in
accordance with Section 3831 (“Non-monetary Transactions”) of the Canadian
Institute of Chartered Accountants Handbook (“CICA Handbook”).
Stock-Based
Compensation
The
Company has a stock-based compensation plan. Any consideration
received on the exercise of stock options or sale of stock is credited to share
capital. The Company records compensation expense and credits contributed
surplus for all stock options granted. Stock options granted during the year are
accounted for in accordance with the fair value method of accounting for
stock-based compensation. The fair value for these options is estimated at the
date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
Loss
Per Share
Basic
loss per share is calculated by dividing the loss for the year by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted loss per
share is computed using the treasury stock method. Under this method, the
diluted weighted average number of shares is calculated assuming the proceeds
that arise from the exercise of stock options and other dilutive instruments are
used to repurchase the Company’s shares at their weighted average market price
for the period.
Change
in Accounting Policy and Future Accounting Changes
(a) EIC
Credit Risk
In
January 2009, the CICA’s EIC concluded that an entity’s own credit risk and the
credit risk of the counterparty should be taken into account in determining the
fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities, including derivative
instruments. The application of incorporating credit risk into the fair value
should result in entities re-measuring the financial assets and financial
liabilities as at the beginning of the period of adoption. This abstract should
be applied retrospectively without restatement of prior periods to all financial
assets and liabilities measured at fair value in interim and annual financial
statements for periods ending on or after January 20, 2009. Retrospective
application with restatement of prior periods is also permitted. The adoption of
this standard did not impact the financial position or results of operations of
the Company.
18
(b)
Financial Instruments – Disclosures
In June
2009, the Canadian Accounting Standards Board (“AcSB”) issued the amendments to
CICA Handbook Section 3862, Financial Instruments - Disclosures, which reflect
the corresponding amendments made by the International Accounting Standards
Board to IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures, in March 2009. The
amendments require that all financial instruments measured at fair value be
presented into one of the three hierarchy levels set forth below for disclosure
purposes (see note 5). Each level is based on the transparency of the inputs
used to measure the fair value of assets and liabilities.
(i) Level
1: Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices of identical instruments in active
markets.
(ii)
Level 2: Valuation models which utilize predominately observable market
inputs.
(iii)
Level 3: Valuation models which utilize predominately non-observable market
inputs.
The
classification of a financial instrument in the hierarchy is based upon the
lowest level of input that is significant to the measurement of fair value. The
amendments to Section 3862 also require additional disclosure relating to the
liquidity risk associated with financial instruments (see note 14). The
amendments improve disclosure of financial instruments specifically as it
relates to fair value measurements and liquidity risk. The adoption of the
amendments did not impact the Company’s financial position or results of
operations.
(c)
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
During
fiscal 2010 the Company adopted Section 3064, “Goodwill and Intangible Assets”.
This section replaces Section 3062, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” and
Section 3450, “Research and Development Costs”. Various changes have made to
other sections of the CICA Handbook for consistency purposes. Section 3064
establishes standards for the recognition, measurement, presentation and
disclosure of goodwill subsequent to its initial recognition and of intangible
assets by profit-oriented enterprises. Standards concerning goodwill are
unchanged from the standards included in the previous Section 3062. The adoption
of this standard did not have an impact on the Company’s financial
statements.
(d)
General Standard of Financial Statement Presentation
During
fiscal 2010, the Company adopted amended Section 1400, “General Standard of
Financial Statement Presentation” which includes requirements to assess and
disclose the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The adoption of
this new section did not have an impact on the Company’s financial
statements.
(e)
Future Accounting Changes
Business
Combinations, Consolidated Financial Statements and Non-controlling Interests –
The CICA issued three new accounting standards in January 2009: section 1582,
Business Combinations,
section 1601, Consolidated
Financial Statements, and section 1602, Non-controlling interests.
These new standards will be effective for fiscal years beginning on or after
January 1, 2011. The Company is in the process of evaluating the requirements of
the new standards.
Section
1582 replaces section 1581, and establishes standards for the accounting for a
business combination. It provides the Canadian equivalent to International
Financial Reporting Standard IFRS 3 – Business Combinations. The section
applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is
on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or
after January 1, 2011.
Sections
1601 and 1602 together replace 1600 – Consolidated Financial Statements.
Section 1601, establishes standards for the preparation of consolidated
financial statements. Section 1601 applies to interim and annual consolidated
financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after January 1,
2011.
Section
1602 establishes standards for accounting for a non-controlling interest in a
subsidiary in consolidated financial statements subsequent to a business
combination. It is equivalent to the corresponding provisions of International
Financial Reporting Standard IAS 27 - Consolidated and Separate Financial
Statements and applies to interim and annual consolidated financial
statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after January 1,
2011.
19
In
December 2009, the CICA issued EIC 175 – “Multiple Deliverable Revenue
Arrangements” replacing EIC 142 – “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple
Deliverables”. This abstract was amended to: (1) provide updated guidance on
whether multiple deliverables exist, how the deliverables in an arrangement
should be separated, and the consideration allocated; (2) require, in situations
where a vendor does not have vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) or
third-party evidence of selling price, that the entity allocate revenue in an
arrangement using estimated selling prices of deliverables; (3) eliminate the
use of the residual method and require an entity to allocate revenue using the
relative selling price method; and (4) require expanded qualitative and
quantitative disclosures regarding significant judgments made in applying this
guidance. The accounting changes summarized in EIC 175 are effective for fiscal
periods beginning on or after January 1, 2011, with early adoption permitted.
Adoption may either be on a prospective basis or by retrospective application.
If the Abstract is adopted early, in a reporting period that is not the first
reporting period in the entity’s fiscal period, it must be applied
retrospectively from the beginning of the Company’s fiscal period of adoption.
The Company expects to adopt EIC 175 effective January 1, 2011. The Company does
not believe the standard will have a material impact on its consolidated
financial statements.
In
February 2008, the Accounting Standards Board “(AcSB)” confirmed that the use of
IFRS will be required in 2011 for publicly accountable enterprises in Canada. In
April 2008, the AcSB issued an IFRS Omnibus Exposure Draft proposing that
publicly accountable enterprises be required to apply IFRS, in full and without
modification, for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2011. The
Company will issue its initial audited consolidated financial statements under
IFRS including comparative information for the year ending August 31,
2011.
The
eventual changeover to IFRS represents changes due to new accounting standards.
The transition from current Canadian GAAP to IFRS is a significant undertaking
that may materially affect the Company's reported financial position and results
of operations.
The
Company is assessing the potential impacts of this changeover and is developing
its IFRS changeover plan, which will include project structure and governance,
resourcing and training, analysis of key GAAP differences and a phased plan to
assess accounting policies under IFRS as well as potential exemptions to the
initial adoption of IFRS as permitted by IFRS Statement 1.
RECONCILIATION
TO ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES GENERALLY ACCEPTED IN THE UNITED STATES
The
Company's accounting policies do not differ materially from accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States ("US GAAP") except for the
following:
Oil and
Gas Interests
In
applying the successful efforts method under US GAAP (Regulation S-X Article
4-10), the Company performs a ceiling test based on the same calculations used
for Canadian GAAP except the Company is required to discount future net revenues
from proved reserves at 10% as opposed to utilizing the fair market value and
probable reserves are excluded. During the year an impairment loss of
$104,630 (2009 - $179,443) for US GAAP and an impairment loss
of $54,630 (2009- $105,805) was recorded for Canadian GAAP.

DIFFERENCES
BETWEEN CANADIAN AND UNITED STATES GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING
PRINCIPLES
Adoption
of New Accounting Policies
Financial
Accounting Standards Board’s Codification of US GAAP
On July
1, 2009, the FASB’s Codification of US GAAP (the “Codification”) was issued to
create a consolidated reference source for all authoritative non-governmental US
GAAP. The Codification was not intended to change US GAAP, but rather reorganize
existing guidance by accounting topic to allow easier identification of
applicable standards. References in the Company’s consolidated financial
statements to US GAAP have been updated to reflect the
Codification.
Business
combinations
In
December 2007, the FASB issued ASC 805 — Business Combinations (“ASC 805”)
(formerly referred to as FAS 141R) which is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2008. ASC 805, which will replace FAS 141, is applicable to
business combinations consummated after the effective date of December 15, 2008.
This Standard modifies the accounting of certain aspects of business
combinations. The adoption of ASC 805 did not have a material impact on the
Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Non-controlling
interests
In
December 2007, the FASB also issued ASC 810 - Non-controlling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements (“ASC 810”). ASC 810 will change the
accounting and reporting for minority interests, which will be re-characterized
as non-controlling interests and classified as a component of equity. ASC 810
requires retroactive adoption of the presentation and disclosure requirements
for existing minority interests. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years
beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal
years. The adoption of ASC 810 did not have a material impact on the Company’s
consolidated financial statements.
Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities
In March
2008, the FASB issued ASC 815 “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities” (“ASC 815”). This Statement requires enhanced disclosures
about an entity’s derivative and hedging activities and thereby improves the
transparency of financial reporting. This Statement is effective for fiscal
years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early
application encouraged. This Statement encourages, but does not require,
comparative disclosures for earlier periods at initial adoption. The adoption of
ASC 815 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements.
Subsequent
events
In May
2009, the FASB issued ASC 855, “Subsequent Events” (“ASC 855”). This Statement
established general standards of accounting for and disclosures of events that
occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or
are available to be issued. In particular, this Statement details the period
after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity
should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition
or disclosure in the financial statements; the circumstances under which an
entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet
date in its financial statements; and the disclosures that an entity should make
about events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date. The
adoption of ASC 855 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated
financial statements.
21
The
Fair Value Measurement of Liabilities
In August
2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-05 “Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value” (“ASU
2009- 05”), which provides amendments to Subtopic 820-10 “Fair Value
Measurements and Disclosures — Overall” and is effective prospectively for
interim periods beginning after October 1, 2009 for the Company. ASU 2009-05
provides clarification that in circumstances in which a quoted price in an
active market for the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity
is required to measure fair value using one of the valuation techniques that
uses (a) the quoted price of the identical liability when traded as asset; (b)
quoted prices for similar liabilities when traded as assets; or another
valuation technique that is consistent with the principles of Topic 820 “Fair
Value Measurements and Disclosures”. Therefore, the fair value of the liability
shall reflect nonperformance risk, including but not limited to a reporting
entity’s own credit risk. ASU 2009-05 also clarifies that when estimating the
fair value of a liability, a reporting entity is not required to include a
separate input or adjustment to other inputs relating to the existence of a
restriction that prevents the transfer of liability. The adoption of ASU 2009-05
will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements.
Equity
method investees
The
Company adopted the FASB’s guidance on equity method investment accounting
considerations which is included in ASC 323 — Investments — Equity Method and
Joint Ventures and applicable for fiscal years beginning on or after December
15, 2008. The guidance indicates when investments accounted for using the equity
method are impaired and the appropriate initial measurement and accounting for
subsequent changes in ownership percentages. The adoption of this guidance did
not result in a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial
statements.
Future
U.S. Accounting Policy Changes
Accounting
of Transfers of Financial Assets an amendment of FASB No. 140
In June
2009, FASB issued Statement No. 166, Accounting of Transfers of Financial Assets
an amendment of FASB No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of
Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities. This statement is now known
as ASC 860. This Statement improves the relevance, representational
faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity
provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial assets; the
effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash
flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement, if any, in transferred
financial assets. The Board undertook this project to address (1) practices that
have developed since the issuance of FASB Statement No. 140, Accounting for
Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities
that are not consistent with the original intent and key requirements of that
Statement and (2) concerns of financial statement users that many of the
financial assets (and related obligations) that have been derecognized should
continue to be reported in the financial statements of transferors. This
Statement must be applied as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first
annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods
within that first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting
periods thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. The Company does not
believe that the new standard will have any material impact to the Company’s
consolidated financial statements.
Variable
interest entities an Amendment to FASB Interpretation No.46(R)
In June
2009, FASB issued Statement No. 167, Amendment to FASB Interpretation No.46(R).
This Statement improves financial reporting by enterprises involved with
variable interest entities. The Board undertook this project to address (1) the
effects on certain provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December
2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, as a result of the
elimination of the qualifying special-purpose entity concept in FASB Statement
No. 166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets, and (2) constituent
concerns about the application of certain key provisions of Interpretation
46(R), including those in which the accounting and disclosures under the
Interpretation do not always provide timely and useful information about an
enterprise’s involvement in a variable interest entity. This Statement shall be
effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting
period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that
first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods
thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. The Company does not believe that
the new standard will have any material impact to the Company’s consolidated
financial statements.
22
In
December 2008, the SEC published its final rule, (SAB 113) Modernization of Oil
and Gas reporting requirements, to modernize and update oil and gas disclosure
requirements and align them with current practice and change in
technology. The Final Rule is effective for registration statements
filed on or after January 1, 2010 and for annual reports on Forms 10-K and 20-F
for fiscal years ending on or December 31, 2009. Adoption of this
Rule on had no effect on the Company’s financial statements.
INTERNATIONAL
FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS
In
February 2008, the Accounting Standards Board “(AcSB)” confirmed that the use of
IFRS will be required in 2011 for publicly accountable enterprises in Canada. In
April 2008, the AcSB issued an IFRS Omnibus Exposure Draft proposing that
publicly accountable enterprises be required to apply IFRS, in full and without
modification, for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2011. The
Company will issue its initial audited consolidated financial statements under
IFRS including comparative information for the year ending August 31,
2011.
The
eventual changeover to IFRS represents changes due to new accounting standards.
The transition from current Canadian GAAP to IFRS is a significant undertaking
that may materially affect the Company's reported financial position and results
of operations.
The
Company is assessing the potential impacts of this changeover and is developing
its IFRS changeover plan, which will include project structure and governance,
resourcing and training, analysis of key GAAP differences and a phased plan to
assess accounting policies under IFRS as well as potential exemptions to the
initial adoption of IFRS as permitted by IFRS Statement 1.
Transition
to International Financial Reporting Standards
In
February 2008, the Accounting Standards Board confirmed that the transition date
to International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) from Canadian GAAP will
be January 1, 2011 for publicly accountable enterprises. The Company will issue
its initial unaudited consolidated financial statements under IFRS including
comparative information for the quarter ending February 28, 2011.
The
transition from current Canadian GAAP to IFRS is a significant undertaking that
may materially affect the Company's reported financial position and results of
operations. The Company is assessing the potential impacts of this changeover
and has commenced the development of an IFRS implementation plan to prepare for
this transition, which will include project structure and governance, resourcing
and training, analysis of key GAAP differences and a phased plan to assess
accounting policies under IFRS as well as potential exemptions to the initial
adoption of IFRS as permitted by IFRS Statement 1.

The
Company is in the process of analyzing key areas where changes to current
accounting policies may be required. While an analysis will be
required for all accounting policies, the initial key areas of assessment
include:
•
Property, Plant and Equipment
Pre-exploration
costs
Exploration
and evaluation costs
Depletion,
depreciation and amortization
• Impairment
testing
• Decommissioning
liabilities (known as “asset retirement obligations” under Canadian
GAAP)
• Stock-based
compensation
• Income
taxes
Each of
these significant impact areas is discussed in more detail below.
Property,
Plant and Equipment
IFRS and
Canadian GAAP contain the same basic principles for property, plant, and
equipment; however, there are some differences. Specifically, IFRS requires
property, plant and equipment to be measured at cost in accordance with IFRS,
breaking down material items into components and amortizing each one separately.
In addition, unlike Canadian GAAP, IFRS permits property, plant and equipment to
be measured at fair value or amortized cost. The Company’s initial analysis is
that no further componentization was necessary in property, plant, and
equipment.
In moving
to IFRS, the Company will be required to adopt different accounting policies for
pre-exploration activities, exploration and evaluation costs and depletion,
depreciation and accretion.
Pre-exploration
costs are costs incurred before the Company obtains the legal right to explore
an area. Under Canadian GAAP, these costs are capitalized, while under
IFRS, these costs must be expensed. At this time, the Company does not
anticipate that this accounting policy difference will have a significant impact
on the financial statements.
During
the Exploration and Evaluation phase, the Company capitalizes costs incurred for
these projects under Canadian GAAP. Under IFRS, the Corporation has the
alternative to either continue capitalizing these costs until technical
feasibility and commercial viability of the project is determined, or to expense
these costs as incurred. The Company does not currently have any
Exploration and Evaluation assets.
Under
Canadian GAAP, the Company calculates its depletion, depreciation and
amortization rate at the country cost centre level. Under IFRS, this rate
will be calculated at a lower unit of account level. At this time, the
Company has not finalized its policy in this regard, and therefore the impact of
this difference in accounting policy is not reasonably
determinable.
Impairment
Testing
For the
first step of the impairment test under Canadian GAAP, future cash flows are not
discounted. Under IFRS, the future cash flows are discounted. In addition, for
Property, Plant and Equipment, impairment testing is currently performed at the
country cost centre level, while under IFRS, it will be performed at a lower
level, referred to as a cash-generating unit. The impairment calculations will
be performed using either total proved or proved plus probable reserves.
Canadian GAAP prohibits reversal of impairment losses. Under IFRS if the
conditions giving rise to impairment have reversed, impairment losses
previously recorded would be partially or fully reversed to eliminate
write-downs recorded. The Company expects to adopt these changes in accounting
policy prospectively. At this time, the impact of accounting policy differences
related to impairment testing is not reasonably determinable.
24
Asset
Retirement Obligation
Under
Canadian GAAP, the Company recognizes a liability for the estimated fair value
of the future retirement obligations associated with Property, Plant and
Equipment. The fair value is capitalized and amortized over the same period as
the underlying asset. The Company estimates the liability based on the estimated
costs to abandon and reclaim its net ownership interest in wells and facilities,
including an estimate for the timing of the costs to be incurred in future
periods. These cash outflows are discounted using a credit-adjusted rate.
Changes in the net present value of the future retirement obligation are
expensed through accretion as part of depletion, depreciation and accretion.
Under IFRS, these liabilities are known as “decommissioning liabilities” and are
included in the scope of IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities
and Contingent Assets. Decommissioning liabilities are calculated at each
reporting period by estimating the risk-adjusted future cash outflows which are
discounted using a risk-free rate. Changes in the net present value of the
future retirement obligation are expensed through accretion as part of
depletion, depreciation and accretion. Due to the change in the discount rate
from a credit-adjusted rate to a risk-free rate, the Company expects there will
be an increase in the value of the decommissioning liability under IFRS as
compared to Canadian GAAP.
Stock-based
Compensation
IFRS 2
Share-Based Payments
requires the expense related to share-based payments to be recognized as
the options vest; that is, for options that vest over a period of time, each
tranche must be treated as a separate option grant which accelerates the
expense recognition in comparison to Canadian GAAP which allows the expense
to be recognized on a straight-line basis over the period the options vest.
While the carrying value for each reporting period will be different under IFRS,
the cumulative expense recognized over the life of the instrument under both
methods will be the same. Going forward under IFRS, stock-based compensation is
expected to be higher because the graded vesting requirements of IFRS result in
accelerated expense recognition.
Accounting
for Income Tax
In
transitioning to IFRS, the carrying amount of the Company’s tax balances will be
directly impacted by the tax effects resulting from changes required by the
above IFRS accounting policy differences. Due to the recent withdrawal of the
exposure draft on IAS 12 Income Taxes in November 2009, the
Company is still determining the impact of the revised standard on its IFRS
transition. Therefore, at this time the income tax impacts of the differences
are not reasonably determinable.
As the
analysis of each of the key areas progress, other elements of the Company’s IFRS
transition plan will also be addressed, including the implication of changes to
accounting policies and processes, financial statement note disclosures on
information technology, internal controls, contractual arrangements and employee
training.
Changes
to IFRS Accounting Standards
The
Company’s analysis of accounting policy differences specifically considers the
current IFRS standards that are in effect. The Corporation will continue to
monitor any new or amended accounting standards that are issued by the
IASB.
Internal
Controls over Financial Reporting
The
Company does not anticipate that the transition to IFRS will have a significant
impact on either its internal controls over financial reporting, or its
disclosure controls and procedures. As the review of the Company’s accounting
policies is completed, an assessment will be made to determine changes necessary
for internal controls over financial reporting. This will be an
ongoing process throughout fiscal 2010 and 2011 to ensure that all changes in
accounting policies include the appropriate additional controls and procedures
for future IFRS reporting requirements.
Education
and Training
The
Company will involve its management and board of directors in the IFRS
transition throughout fiscal 2010 and 2011.
Impacts
to our Business
The
Company does not expect that the adoption of IFRS in 2011 will have a
significant impact or influence on its business activities.
