|BIG SKY ENERGY CORPORATION
(a Development Stage Enterprise)
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
(Expressed in United States Dollars) | 
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | 

1.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION



The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by Big Sky Energy Corporation  (the Corporation) without audit in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, except for the December 31, 2004 Balance Sheet which has been derived from the audited financial statements filed with the Corporations Annual Report on Form 10-KSB.  These financial statements are condensed and do not include all disclosures required for annual financial statements and accordingly, these financial statements and the notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Corporations Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2004.  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  In the opinion of management, these financial statements reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary to present fairly the Corporations condensed financial position at June 30, 2005 and the condensed consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the three-month and six month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004.

NATURE OF OPERATIONS



Late in 2003, the Corporation began investing in oil and gas assets in preparation for transition from its Internet service business in China, a transition which concluded December 9, 2004 with the sale of Big Sky Network Canada Ltd. to Big Sky Energy Canada Ltd., to become an oil and gas exploration and production company.  During 2004, the Corporation acquired KoZhaN LLP (KoZhaN) and Vector Energy West LLP (Vector).  By acquiring these companies the Corporation gained a significant acreage position in the prolific pre-Caspian basin of western Kazakhstan, located close to infrastructure and transportation..  In the fourth quarter of 2004, the Corporation spudded its first well, Morskoe # 10. The drilling completion and the testing of Morskoe #10 will be followed by the drilling or working over of additional wells offsetting Morskoe #10.



The Corporation is also intent on farming out selected high risk exploration targets.  Initially, the Corporation focused its partnership initiatives on Chinas major national oil and gas production and service companies and since has expanded its farm-out discussions to include established multinational energy companies.   The Corporations strategy is a broad spectrum low risk approach to risk management in an inherently high risk business sector.



The Corporation believes that these activities will lead to a sustainable platform on which to build the Corporation in Kazakhstan.  In addition to building a base in Kazakhstan, the Corporation is trying to secure additional licenses in other countries, using the diverse expertise of its officers and consultants.



The Corporation raised over US$12 million of new common equity in 2004 and an additional $13.7 million in February 2005. While access to the capital markets is always subjective, the current levels of energy prices support investor interest in financing new projects. The Corporation is basing its growth strategies on attaining a sustainable level of cash flow from low risk energy development of existing licenses while securing additional licenses subject to available financing on economic terms.



On March 18, 2005, our former auditors noted that the Corporations operating losses since inception raised substantial doubts about its ability to continue as a going concern.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES



Accounting policies as disclosed in the Corporations Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2004 have not changed.

Basis of Presentation

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Big Sky Energy Kazakhstan (BSEK) and Big Sky Energy Atyrau (BSEA).  The equity method of accounting is used for companies in which the Corporation has significant influence, which generally means common stock ownership of at least 20% and not more than 50%. The Corporation used the equity method to account for its joint venture investments in the Shekou JV (which was sold in 2002) and the Chengdu JV (sold in 2004). Big Sky Network Canada Ltd. (BSN) was accounted for as a majority-controlled subsidiary until April 25, 2000. For the period April 26, 2000 to September 28, 2000, while the Corporation owned 50% of BSN, BSN was accounted for using the equity method.  For the period since September 29, 2000, BSN has been accounted for as a wholly owned subsidiary and all inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated. On December 9, 2004 BSN was sold.



Restricted Cash



The amount of $76,040 is maintained on deposit to secure corporate credit card balances and as a deposit on oil and gas operations.



Stock-based compensation



The Company applies the intrinsic value method allowed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees ("APB 25") in accounting for its stock option plans. Under APB 25, compensation expense resulting from awards under variable plans is measured at each reporting period as the difference between the quoted market price and the exercise price; the cost is recognized over the period the employee performs related services.



The following table illustrates the effect on net loss and loss per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to stock-based employee compensation.

The fair value of stock options used in computing the pro forma net loss and basic loss per common share was estimated at grant date, determined by the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

12





|                        | 2005    | 2004    | 
|----------------------- | ------- | ------- | 
|                        |         |         | 
|Dividend yield          | 0%      | 0%      | 
|Expected volatility     | 150%    | 200%    | 
|Risk free interest rate | 3.5%    | 3.93%   | 
|Expected option life    | 3 years | 5 years | 



Net loss per share



Basic loss per share ("EPS") excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock (warrants to purchase common stock and common stock options) were exercised or converted into common stock, using the treasury stock method.



Potential shares of common stock in the diluted EPS computation are excluded in net loss periods, as their effect would be anti-dilutive. In 2005, 14,914,610 options and warrants were excluded in the calculation of net loss per share.



Use of Estimates



The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates could include the allowance for potentially uncollectible accounts receivable and a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.



Impact of Recent and Pending Accounting Pronouncements



In November 2004, the EITF ratified Issue No. 03-13, Applying the Conditions in Paragraph 42 of FASB Statement No.144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, in Determining Whether to Report Discontinued Operations. The EITF reached a consensus that classification of a disposed of or held-for-sale component as a discontinued operation is only appropriate if the ongoing entity (i) expects to have no continuing direct cash flows, and (ii) does not retain or expect to retain an interest, contract or other arrangement sufficient to enable it to exert significant influence over the disposed components operating and financial policies after the disposal transaction. Application of this consensus did not have a material impact on the Corporations consolidated financial statements.



In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, that will require compensation costs related to share-based payment transactions to be recognized in financial statements. With limited exceptions, the amount of compensation cost will be measured based on the grant-date fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. In addition, liability awards will be re-measured each reporting period. Compensation cost will be recognized over the period that an employee provides service in exchange for the award. The standard replaces SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. It is effective for small business issuers for the first interim or annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2005, meaning that the Corporation will apply the guidance to all employee awards of share-based payment granted, modified or settled in the first quarter of 2006. The Corporation is reviewing the standard to determine the potential impact, if any, on its consolidated financial statements.



In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement 153, Exchanges of Non-monetary Assets, an amendment of APB Opinion 29, Accounting for Non-monetary Transactions.  This amendment eliminates the exception for non-monetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of non-monetary assets that do not have commercial substance.  Under Statement 153, if a non-monetary exchange of similar productive assets meets a commercial-substance criterion and fair value is determinable, the transaction must be accounted for at fair value resulting in recognition of any gain or loss.  This statement is effective for non-monetary transactions in fiscal periods that begin after June 15, 2005.  The Corporation is reviewing the guidance to determine the potential impact, if any, on its consolidated financial statements.

13





In May of 2005, the FASB issued Statement 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections.  This statement changes the method of accounting for accounting changes and error corrections by requiring that the cumulative effect of the change to assets and liabilities is recorded in retained earnings and not included in the current period income statement.  The Corporation is reviewing the guidance to determine the potential impact, if any, on its consolidated financial statements

CONTINUING OPERATIONS



These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.  The Corporation has acquired an oil and gas business and must make certain capital expenditures during the course of the next year and future years (see Note 22).  The Corporation's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate profitable operations in the future and to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due.  The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with any certainty at this time.  These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should the Corporation be unable to continue as a going concern.



During 2004, the Corporation utilized cash for management and corporate administrative activities of approximately $200,000 per month. In 2005, corporate and administrative costs will be higher due to increased business activity in Kazakhstan.  Taking into account prepaid lease rentals for office space, monthly expenditures for corporate and administrative costs are estimated at $450,000 per month. Management anticipates that the Corporation currently has sufficient working capital to fund this level of operations through December 2006. Current cash resources are not anticipated to be sufficient to fund the next phase of the Corporations development, including its expansion in the oil and gas business, and it will consider seeking additional private equity or debt financing. There can be no assurances that any such funds will be available, and if funds are raised, that they will be sufficient to achieve the Corporations objective, or result in commercial success. The Corporation cannot assure you that it will be able to obtain sufficient capital to satisfy all of its obligations or that its operating subsidiaries will be commercially successful.



The ability of the Corporation to survive will depend on its ability to finance, acquire, explore for and produce oil and natural gas on a profitable basis.  The Corporation's operations may also be adversely affected by significant political, economic and social uncertainties in Kazakhstan and in other countries in which it may acquire oil and gas operations. Kazakhstan has emerged from the former Soviet Union with a viable, independent economy and is open to foreign investment.  Kazakhstan is rich in a variety of minerals and raw materials.  The economy is evolving from centrally planned towards a free market.  Government policies favoring foreign investment may change, commodity prices may decline and political disruptions may occur in the region.  These factors may impact the Corporations ability to conduct its business, the results of its operations and its financial condition and its right to pay dividends.

On October 12, 2004 KoZhaN signed a Farmout Agreement, the intent of which is to transfer 45% of the subsurface rights of the Morskoe license to ABT Ltd., an unrelated construction company. This transfer of 45% is subject to approval by the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources of the Republic of Kazakhstan, which is still pending. Under the terms of this Farmout Agreement, ABT Ltd., agreed to pay for the cost of lease access and lease construction

16



(Construction Works) and loan up to $650,000 towards the cost of drilling, completion and testing of Morskoe #10 well (Drilling Works).  KoZhaN agreed to contribute $150,000 to the Drilling Works.  Both companies will equally share future costs associated with the development of the Morskoe license.



As of December 31, 2004, ABT Ltd. had incurred $798,915 worth of Construction Works.  An interest-free loan of $500,000 to KoZhaN LLP was made for Drilling Works of Well # 10 and had a remaining available balance of $166,000.  Neither the Construction Works nor the loan advanced for Drilling Works are part of Big Skys oil and gas propertiesand are not reflected in Big Skys accounts.  As the ABT loan funds are spent on the well costs, the loan balance is reduced accordingly.  Neither the Construction Works costs nor Drilling Works costs have been recorded as oil and gas property expenses by Big Sky as they relate strictly to ABTs working interest in the properties.  At June 30, 2005, the Company owed $338,319 to ABT for Drilling Works.



It should be noted that this Farmout Agreement is success based and should no production result from the Morskoe license, the Corporation has no obligation to repay ABT its expenditures relating to the cost of the Construction Works  and/or Drilling Works.

OBLIGATIONS ON SOCIAL SPHERE DEVELOPMENT



In accordance with the Subsurface Use Contracts, the Corporation is committed to contribute to social sphere development of Astana and Atyrau cities in the total amount of $3,030,000 for all oilfields during the exploration phase.  All Subsurface Use Contracts establish the exploration phase as 6 years from 2003 to 2009, and the production phase as 25 years from 2009 to 2034. During the term ended, June 30, 2005, the Corporation had not made any payments. These payments are due over the period from 2003 to 2008.  Management believes that the Corporation will meet this obligation within the exploration phase and payment timing will not terminate or deteriorate terms of the Subsurface Use Contracts.



Payment of these obligations is to be made according to a payment schedule agreed to between the Corporation and the Government. The non-current portion of these obligations is discounted at 15% being the estimated credit-adjusted risk free discount rate, giving a total discounted obligation of $2,700,961. The accretion expense for the three month period ended June 30, 2005 was $46,226 (2004 -$330) and the six month period ended June 30, 2005 was $90,862 (2004 -$21,781).

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS



As at June 30, 2005 the related method of determining fair value and carrying value of the Corporations financial instruments were as follows: the fair value of current assets and current liabilities approximates their carrying amounts due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. The Corporation is exposed to market, credit and currency risks arises in the normal course of the Corporations business. Derivative financial instruments are not used to reduce exposure to the above risks.



Concentration of credit risk  Financial instruments that potentially expose the Corporation to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalent. Management of the Corporation believes the likelihood of incurring material losses due to concentration of credit risk is remote.



Interest rate risk  The Corporations potential interest rate risk is minimal and management considers the risk insignificant.



Foreign currency risk  The Corporation undertakes transactions denominated in foreign currencies. Accordingly, these activities may result in foreign currency exposure. The Corporation does not hedge its foreign currency risk.

|     | $      
|---- | -------
|2005 | 174,900
|2006 | 125,650
|2007 | 48,250 
|     | 348,800



The Corporation is subject to potential litigation in the normal course of operations.  There are no claims currently pending that management considers would materially affect the Corporations financial position or results of operations.



Operating environment  The Corporations principal business activities are within the Republic of Kazakhstan. Laws and regulations affecting businesses operating in the Republic of Kazakhstan are subject to rapid changes and KoZhaNs assets and operations could be at risk due to negative changes in the political and business environment.



Taxation  The taxation system in the Republic of Kazakhstan is constantly changing and subject to inconsistent application, interpretation and enforcement. There have been many new tax and foreign currency laws and related regulations introduced in recent years, which are not always clearly written and whose interpretation and application is subject to the opinions of the local tax authorities. Non-compliance with Kazakhstan laws and regulations can potentially lead to the imposition of penalties and fines, the amounts of which can be significant.



Environmental matters  The Corporation believes it is currently in compliance with all existing Kazakhstan environmental laws and regulations. However, Kazakhstan environmental laws and regulations may change in the future. The Corporation is unable to predict the timing or extent to which these environmental laws and regulations may change. Such change, if it occurs, may require KoZhaN to modernize technology to meet more stringent standards.

Financial Commitments and Contingencies  KoZhaN



The Corporation, through its interest in KoZhaN, has the following commitments and contingencies.  As these commitments and contingencies are subject to the commencement of commercial production and the Corporation can not determine at this time when it will commence commercial oil and gas production operations, the likelihood of payment of the following commitments and contingencies is currently indeterminable. Consequently no amounts have been recorded as provisions in these financial statements for the following commitments and contingencies:



|a) | Commitment to repay historical costs of the Government  In accordance with the Subsurface Use Contracts the Corporation is obliged to reimburse to the Government for historical costs incurred during preparation of certain geological information on the Morskoe, Karatal and Dauletaly oilfields.  The total amount reimbursable is $3,756,422. Of this amount, $116,178 was paid in 2002-2003. The remaining amount of $3,640,244 is expected to be settled by equal quarterly installments during 20 years after the Corporation enters into the production phase on these oilfields. If commercial production does not commence, no further payments become due in this respect.

|b) | Commitments to contribute to social development of Astana and Atyrau  In accordance with the Subsurface Use Contracts, the Corporation is obliged to invest an equivalent of $850,000 during the production phase for the development of the social sector of Atyrau and Astana cities in the Republic of Kazakhstan.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               
|c) | Commitment to develop local personnel In accordance with the Subsurface Use Contracts, the Corporation is obliged to invest not less than 1% of total investments for professional development of the local personnel involved in works under the Subsurface Use Contracts                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          
|d) | Liquidation fund  In accordance with the Subsurface Use Contracts, the Corporation is obliged to establish a liquidation fund to finance the adequate disposal of the Corporations oil and gas operations in the amount of 1% of operating costs.  The Corporation is also obliged to apply for approval of this fund with the Government under the contracts, including budget of disposal costs, no later than 2 years before the end of the exploration phase and start of the production phase. Although the Corporation has not yet carried out major exploration activities to date, the Corporation has recorded an asset retirement obligation for certain wells in these financial statements. Upon achieving an agreement with the Government, this asset retirement obligation may be considered as part of the contractually required liquidation fund.

|e) | Contingencies related to purchase of geological information from the Government  In accordance with the Purchase Agreements concluded with the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources of the Republic of Kazakhstan on July 10, 2002, the Corporation may incur a penalty for delaying payment for the geological information purchases from the Government relating to the Morskoe, Karatal and Dauletaly oilfields at a rate of 10% per annum. Payments for the geological information purchase for the Karatal and Dauletaly oilfields were made by the Corporation with a significant delay. Management believes that the obligation for the penalty is not probable and thus no provision has been recognized in the financial statements for this amount.                                                                                                   
|f) | Commitment to make payments based on production  Arising from BSEKs acquisition of KoZhaN interest, the Corporation is committed to make the following payments to the non-controlling partners of KoZhaN, as a group, upon achieving the following production milestones, where production is calculated after deducting the governments share of production, if any, and where one tonne equals seven barrels of oil:

|g) | Investment commitments  In accordance with the Subsurface Use Contracts KoZhaN is obliged to invest a minimum of $69,000,000 over the period covered by the Subsurface Use Contracts. An amount of $14,000,000 should be invested during the exploration phase. All three Subsurface Use Contracts establish the exploration phase as 6 years from 2003 to 2009, and the production phase as 25 years from 2009 to 2034.  The governments objective in setting minimum work commitments is to ensure certain types of exploratory work is carried out by the license holder, including drilling new wells and seismic activity. The government will measure the degree to which the Corporation has met its commitments in terms of work completed. The government estimates the work commitment in terms of expected spending amounts. The government measures the performance of the Corporation towards meeting its work commitment by evaluating the actual work performed in comparison with the agreed requirements. Actual spending is not a performance measure.
|h) | Commercial discovery bonus  In accordance with the Subsurface Use Contracts, the Corporation is obliged to pay to the Government a commercial discovery bonus in the amount of 0.1% of the value of proved reserves using the market price of the hydrocarbons. This amount is due within 30 days after the hydrocarbon reserves are approved by the State Committee on Reserves of the Republic of Kazakhstan.  As at June 30, 2005, a commercial discovery has not been made as so no accrual for any bonus has been made in these financial statements.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               
|i) | Commitments related to transfer of 45% share in Morskoe oil field  On October 12, 2004 KoZhaN signed an agreement which states that ABT Ltd., subject to approval of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources of Republic of Kazakhstan, which approval is still pending,  became the owner of 45% of any crude oil, gas and any other mineral resources (including mineral resources produced during the exploration and probation exploitation periods) and have right to dispose such mineral resources at its own discretion. In addition, KoZhaN assumed obligation to provide financing of Drilling Works of $150,000 and 50% of all other costs, not specified as Construction Works and Drilling Works.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      

Other Contingencies

|j) | Non-compliance with the Subsurface Use Contracts  The Government has the right to suspend these contracts or even cancel them if the Corporation is in material breach of obligations and commitments under the Subsurface Use Contracts.

In accordance with the Subsurface Use Contracts signed on February 17, 2003 the Corporation was obliged to commence exploration activities within 60 days after signing the Contracts. However, as at June 30, 2005, the Corporation had not started exploration activities on the Karatal and Dauletaly oilfields. In the case of failure to remedy such violations, these Subsurface Use Contracts can be terminated by the Government, which may affect recoverability of capitalized costs of approximately $1.2 million related to Dauletaly and Karatal oilfields. The corporation expects to conduct new exploration activities in the two license areas in 2005, and may farmout portions of these licenses to third parties in 2005, in order to fulfill its obligations under the Subsurface Use Contracts.

|k) | Commitment to sell produced oil in Kazakhstan  In accordance with the Subsurface Use Contracts, the Corporation is obliged to sell 100% of oil produced during the exploration stage, and 20% of oil produced during the production stage, to oil refineries located in Kazakhstan.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             



Financial Commitments and Contingencies  Vector Energy West  LLP



The Corporation, through its interest in Vector, has the following commitments and contingencies.  As these commitments and contingencies are subject to the commencement of commercial production and the Corporation can not determine at this time when it will commence commercial oil and gas production operations, the likelihood of payment of the following commitments and contingencies is currently indeterminable. Consequently, no amounts have been recorded as provisions in these financial statements for the following commitments and contingencies:

|m) | Investment commitments  In accordance with the Subsurface Use Contracts, the Corporation is obliged to invest a minimum of $53,900,000 over the period covered by the Subsurface Use Contracts. The Subsurface Use Contract # 1076 dated December 28, 2002 establishes the exploration phase as 6 years from 2003 to 2008. The Subsurface Use Contract # 1077 dated December 28, 2002 establishes the exploration phase as 5 years from 2003 to 2007 and the production phase as 20 years from 2008 to 2028.  The governments objective in setting minimum work commitments is to ensure certain types of exploratory work is carried out by the licence holder, including drilling new wells and seismic activity. The government will measure the degree to which the Corporation has met its commitments in terms of work completed. The government estimates the work commitment in terms of expected spending amounts. The government measures the performance of the Corporation towards meeting its work commitment by evaluating the actual work performed in comparison with the agreed requirements. Actual spending is not a performance measure.
|n) | Commitment to reimburse historical costs of the Government  In accordance with the Subsurface Use Contract, the Corporation is obliged to reimburse to the Government for historical costs incurred at the expense of the Government on the Atyrau oilfield. The total amount reimbursable is $22,507,380. From this amount, $112,537 was paid to the Government in 2003. The remaining amount of $22,394,843 is expected to be settled according to a payment schedule to be agreed between the Corporation and the Government not later than 120 days after approval of the hydrocarbon reserves. However, in the event that no approval of the hydrocarbon reserves is received, there will be no liability upon the Corporation in respect of the remaining amount of $22,394,843. No approval of the hydrocarbon reserves has been applied for or received as at June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 and so no provision in respect of the remaining amount has been made in these financial statements.                                                                                                                                                

26



|o) | Commercial discovery bonus  In accordance with the Subsurface Use Contracts, the Corporation is obliged to pay to the Government a commercial discovery bonus in the amount of 0.1% of the value of approved recoverable reserves using the market price of the hydrocarbons. This amount is due within 30 days after the hydrocarbon reserves are approved by the State Committee on Reserves of the Republic of Kazakhstan. However, in the event that no approval of the hydrocarbon reserves is received, there will be no liability upon the Corporation in respect of the commercial discovery bonus. No approval of the hydrocarbon reserves has been applied for or received as at June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 and so no provision in respect of the commercial discovery bonus has been made in these financial statements.

The factors described above could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements.

Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement or statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the forward-looking statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all such factors. Further, we cannot assess the impact of each such factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

NATURE OF OPERATIONS



In 2004, Big Sky began investing in oil and gas assets with the stated intention becoming an oil and gas exploration and production company.   This transition was concluded December 9, 2004 with the sale of Big Sky Network Canada Ltd.  In early 2004, we acquired KoZhaN LLP (KoZhaN) and Vector Energy West LLP (Vector) which acquisitions gained Big Sky a significant acreage position in the prolific pre-Caspian basin of western Kazakhstan, located close to infrastructure and transportation.



In the fourth quarter of 2004, Big Sky spudded its first well, Morskoe # 10 and during the first three months of 2005, we achieved our near term objectives which included the completion of drilling and testing of Morskoe #10.  The next phase of work, the drilling or working over of additional wells offsetting Morskoe #10 is currently underway.



We are also intent on farming out selected high risk exploration targets and we are currently undertaking farm out discussions with established multinational energy companies.   We believe that these activities will lead to a sustainable platform on which to build Big Sky in Kazakhstan and enable Big Sky to secure additional licenses in other countries, using the diverse expertise of its officers and consultants.



On April 19, 2005, Big Sky executed a Letter of Intent with Sun Drilling LLP wherein Sun Drilling LLP agreed to provide turnkey drilling services for a minimum of two wells in the Morskoe Field on behalf of KoZhaN and a minimum of 10 wells in the Atyrau Block for Vector.  The drilling schedule for Morskoe is set to commence in approximately May 2005 with the Atryau block drilling schedule projected to start in July/August 2005.



Big Sky raised over $13.7 million in equity capital in the first three months of 2005 and anticipates the completion of a private placement raising approximately $42m in Q2-Q3 2005..  During 2004, Big Sky raised US$12 million of new common equity.  While access to the capital markets is always subjective, the current levels of energy prices support investor interest in financing new projects. Big Sky is basing its growth strategies on attaining a sustainable level of cash flow from energy development of existing licenses while securing additional licenses subject to available financing on economic terms.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



Revenues



For the first six months of 2005 and during all of 2004, Big Sky did not earn revenues. We have added oil and gas properties through the acquisition of KoZhaN and Vector; however these properties are currently undeveloped and consequently did not provide revenue during the period.



Expenses



During the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, we incurred operating expenses of $2,563,352and $817,914 respectively.  The following table provides a breakdown of operating expenses by category.

Office costs include the costs of executive management and administrative consultants, rent, insurance, travel, and general office costs associated with maintaining business offices in China, Canada and Kazakhstan.  For the three months ended June 30, 2005, office costs have increased over the same period in 2004 due to additional consulting costs relating to the acquisition of additional subsidiaries during the year, the substantial increase in Kazakhstan operations and additional costs of management.



Professional services include accounting, audit and legal advisory costs.  Professional costs have increased in the second  quarter of 2005 compared to the same period in 2004.  This increase is primarily due to an increase in corporate activity.



Amortization and depreciation expense recorded during the second quarter of 2005 and 2004 resulted from the depreciation of office equipment and leasehold improvements.  No depletion was recorded on oil and gas assets, and oil and gas related accretion expenses were incurred.



We record the fluctuations in the fair value of certain unexercised stock options as a deferred compensation asset (reported as a reduction of stockholders equity on the balance sheet). This asset is amortized over the life of the stock options as non-cash compensation expense. The non-cash compensation expense in the second quarter of 2005 was $493,100 (2004 - $17,470).

Losses



Since we are in the development stage, all losses accumulated since inception is considered as part of our development stage activities.



DiscontinuedOperations



In December 2004, we sold our 100% shareholding in Big Sky Network Canada Ltd., which held our remaining assets in China, Big Sky Chengdu Technology Services Ltd, 100% owned, and our interest in the Sichuan Huayu Big Sky Network Ltd. joint venture, 50% owned. With this sale, we exited the Internet business in China. The sale of Big Sky Network Canada is presented as a discontinued operation in our financial statements.



CAPITAL EXPENDITURES AND INVESTMENTS



Material Commitments for Capital Expenditures



As a result of the acquisition of KoZhaN and Vector, we have acquired significant commitments for future capital expenditure. The majority or these commitments are not required to be settled until we are in the production phase, at which time we expect to have sufficient cash-flows from production to meet these commitments and will rely primarily on production cash-flows to meet future capital expenditures. If the future cash flows from production are insufficient to meet these commitments, we will likely have to rely on additional equity financing.



Certain commitments relating to KoZhaN require capital expenditure prior to the production phase. These include investment commitments of $16.43 million.  We anticipate we will be able to meet these capital costs through a number of financing alternatives. The investment commitment of $16.43 million is required to be spent in exploration phase in the Republic of Kazakhstan during the exploration phase, which is expected to last until approximately 2009.  We plan to finance this commitment through a combination of the sale of exploration related production and future equity financing.   The governments objective in setting minimum work commitments is to ensure certain types of exploratory work is carried out by the license holder, including drilling new wells and seismic activity. The government will measure the degree to which Big Sky has met its commitments in terms of work completed. The government estimates the work commitment in terms of expected spending amounts. The government measures the performance of Big Sky towards meeting its work commitment by evaluating the actual work performed in comparison with the agreed requirements. Actual spending is not a performance measure. The Vector and KoZhaN work commitments are measured by actual work undertaken and completed. The cost to complete the work can be lower, or higher, than the estimated cost. Actual cost is not the determining factor in meeting work commitment obligations. As the undertaken work commitments in 2005 are higher than those defined in the Hydrocarbon Contracts, Vector and KoZhaN expects to apply to the government to amend the commitment to the lesser amounts defined in the Hydrocarbon Contracts



Commercial discovery bonuses will be equal to 0.1% of the value of proved reserves if found.  We anticipate that any commercial discovery bonus will be small enough to be financed out of our working capital.



LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES



During the second quarter of 2005, Big Sky utilized cash for management and corporate administrative activities of approximately $4690,000 per month.  Management anticipates that Big Sky currently has sufficient working capital to fund this minimum level of operations through December 2006. Current cash resources are not anticipated to be sufficient to fund the work commitment for existing licenses, acquire producing properties or additional licenses. To that end, Big Sky has sought additional private equity or debt financing. There can be no assurances that any such funds will be available, and if funds are raised, that they will be sufficient to achieve Big Skys objective, or result in commercial success.



In February 2005, we raised an additional $13.7 million of common equity from institutional investors and accredited private investors in Europe, Russia, USA and Canada under a private placement.  This private placement was subsequently extended to accept further investors up to a total financing of approximately $42,000,000. This private placement is tentatively scheduled to complete August 16, 2005.

31





As of June 30, 2005, we had cash and cash equivalents of $5,827,209 that were included in the working capital surplus of $4,099,881.  This compared to a working capital deficit of $1,705,240 at December 31, 2004.



In February 2005, Big Sky closed on a private placement which raised $13,625,000.  Big Sky issued 27,250,000 shares of common stock at a price of $0.50 per share.   We paid a finders fee of 6% in cash and warrants equal to 6% of the shares of common stock issued for a total cost of $817,140.  1,634,280 Warrants to purchase 1,634,280 shares of common stock at $0.50 per share were also issued.



On a consolidated basis, our minimum cash requirement for maintenance of operations, without conducting a drilling program or acquisitions of other potential fields, is estimated at approximately $450,000 per month in 2005.  With the acquisition of KoZhaN and Vector and our diversification into oil and natural gas exploration and production, we anticipate that we will be required to raise additional capital to fund future exploration and development programs or farm out some of our interest in various higher risk/cost projects to third parties.  Such farm-outs would be intended to cover up to 100% of project costs in return for a percentage interest in the project.



In 2004, Big Sky decided to enter into such a farm out with a local civil construction firm to defray expenses associated with higher than expected lease construction costs of the Morskoe #10 well. On October 12, 2004 KoZhaN signed a farm out agreement under which KoZhaN transfers 45% of the subsurface rights of the Morskoe license to ABT  Limited LLP (ABT).  This transfer of these rights was subject to the approval by the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources of the Republic of Kazakhstan, which is still pending. ABT, in turn, paid for the cost of lease access and lease construction (Construction Works) and pay up to $650,000 towards the cost of drilling, completion and testing of Morskoe #10 well (Drilling Works).  KoZhaN has contributed $150,000 to the Drilling Works.  Both companies equally share future costs associated with the development of the Morskoe license. At June 30, 2005, there is $338,319 of the ABT fund remaining to be spent.



Cash Requirements



The following aggregated information about our contractual obligations and other commitments aim to provide insight into our short and long-term liquidity and capital resource need and demands as at June 30, 2005.   Unless otherwise indicated, the majority of these contractual obligations and commitments are contingent upon our selling production.

PLAN OF OPERATION



Currently, our management expects that we have sufficient working capital surplus to fund our operations through December 2006, without including the costs of a drilling program or acquisitions of other potential fields,.  As at June 30, 2005 Big Sky was actively engaged in a private placement with a view to raising $42million in new common equity, together with the proceeds of the financing exercise of February 2005, we expect to have sufficient working capital to fund our operations and carry out a significant portion of our annual work commitments.



Meeting our future financing requirements will be dependent on our ability to develop oil and gas farm outs or joint venture partnerships on favorable terms, our ability to access equity capital markets and, after achieving or acquiring sustainable production, our ability to maintain credit facilities from institutional lenders. We may not be able to raise additional equity when required, or we may raise the equity on terms that are dilutive to existing shareholders.



On March 18, 2005, our previous auditors noted that the Corporations operating losses since inception raised substantial doubts about the Corporations ability to continue as a going concern.



These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.  The Corporation has acquired an oil and gas business and must make certain capital expenditures during the course of the next year and future years (see Note 22).  The Corporation's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate profitable operations in the future and to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due.  The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with any certainty at this time.  These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should the Corporation be unable to continue as a going concern.



During 2004, the Corporation utilized cash for management and corporate administrative activities of approximately $200,000 per month. In 2005, corporate and administrative costs will be higher due to increased business activity in Kazakhstan.  Taking into account prepaid lease rentals for office space, monthly expenditures for corporate and administrative costs are estimated at $450,000 per month. Management anticipates that the Corporation currently has sufficient working capital to fund this level of operations through December 2006. Current cash resources are not anticipated to be sufficient to fund the next phase of the Corporations development, including its expansion in the oil and gas business, and it will consider seeking additional private equity or debt financing. There can be no assurances that any such funds will be available, and if funds are raised, that they will be sufficient to achieve the Corporations objective, or result in commercial success. The Corporation cannot assure you that it will be able to obtain sufficient capital to satisfy all of its obligations or that its operating subsidiaries will be commercially successful.



The ability of the Corporation to survive will depend on its ability to finance, acquire, explore for and produce oil and natural gas on a profitable basis.  The Corporation's operations may also be adversely affected by significant political, economic and social uncertainties in Kazakhstan and in other countries in which it may acquire oil and gas operations. Kazakhstan has emerged from the former Soviet Union with a viable, independent economy and is open to foreign investment.  Kazakhstan is rich in a variety of minerals and raw materials.  The economy is evolving from centrally planned towards a free market.  Government policies favoring foreign investment may change, commodity prices may decline and political disruptions may occur in the region.  These factors may impact the Corporations ability to conduct its business, the results of its operations and its financial condition and its right to pay dividends.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

Oil and Gas Properties



We follow successful efforts accounting for our oil and gas properties.  All property acquisition costs are initially capitalized to property, plant and equipment as unproved property costs.  Once proved reserves are discovered, the acquisition costs are reclassified to proved property acquisition costs.  Exploration drilling costs are capitalized pending evaluation as to whether sufficient quantities of reserves have been found to justify commercial production.  If commercial quantities of reserves are not found, exploration drilling costs are expensed.  All exploratory wells that discover potentially commercial quantities of reserves in areas requiring major capital expenditures before the commencement of production and where commercial viability requires the drilling of additional exploratory wells, remain capitalized as long as the drilling of additional exploratory wells is under way or firmly planned.  All other exploration costs, including geological and geophysical and annual lease rentals are expensed to earnings as incurred.  All development costs are capitalized as proved property costs.



Impairment of Oil and Gas Properties



Big Sky evaluates its long-lived assets, including oil and gas properties, for possible impairment by comparing the carrying values with the undiscounted future net before-tax cash flows. Among other things, this might be caused by falling oil and gas prices, a significant revision to reserve estimates, adverse changes in operating costs, tax or political environment. Asset impairment may occur if a field discovers lower than anticipated reserves, write downs of proved reserves based on field performance, significant changes in commodity prices, significant decreases in the market value of an asset, and significant change in the extent or manner of use or physical change in an asset. Impaired assets will be written down to their estimated fair values, generally their discounted future net before-tax cash flows. For proved oil and gas properties, Big Sky performs the impairment test on an individual field basis. Unproved properties are reviewed periodically to determine if there has been impairment of the carrying value with any such impairment charged to expense in the current period. We assessed our oil and gas properties for impairment at the end of 2004 and found no impairments were required based on our assumptions.



Stock Based Compensation



We account for stock-based awards to employees using the intrinsic method in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.  Under APB 25, compensation expense is accounted for in accordance with the intrinsic method where the expense is recognized upon either the grant date, if immediately vesting; upon vesting if options vest over a period of time, as being the difference between the quoted market price and the exercise price, or if resulting from awards under variable plans, the expense is measured at each reporting period as the difference between the quoted market price and the exercise price.  We account for stock-based awards to non-employees in accordance with the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.  SFAS No. 123 requires that stock options awarded to non-employees be valued at fair value on the date of the award.  Management estimates the fair value of the stock options using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and makes assumptions for the applicable interest rates, volatility and dividend yield.  In all cases, the calculated compensation is recognized as an expense over the period that the employee performs the related services.  For the three month period ended June 30, 2005, an amount of $493,100was recorded as non-cash stock compensation expense in respect of employee and non-employee-stock based compensation (2004 - $191,721)



OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS



We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements at June 30, 2005.



SUBSEQUENT EVENTS



On June 30, 2005, the Board of Directors accepted the resignation of Mr. Ruslan Tsarni as Corporate Secretary and confirmed Bruce H. Gaston, our Chief Financial Officer in role of Corporate Secretary.

ITEM 2.  UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS



a)  Sales of Unregistered Securities



In February 2005, Big Sky raised additional common equity in a series of private placement transactions, which raised $13,625,000. Big Sky issued 27,250,000 shares of common stock at a price of $0.50 per share.  Big Sky paid a finders fee of 6% in cash and warrants equal to 6% of the shares of common stock issued. Finders fees of $817,140 were paid and 1,634,280 Warrants to purchase 1,634,280 shares of common stock at $0.50 per share were issued.



In April 2005, Big Sky issued 150,000 shares to an option holder, who exercised options previously granted and fully vested at an exercise price of $0.05 per common share for proceeds of $7,500.



On May 5, 2005, Big Sky signed a convertible debenture to secure a US$17.5 million facility from Sun Drilling LLP ("Sun Drilling") to finance the 2005 drilling program of its two subsidiaries, KoZhaN and Vector. KoZhaN plans to drill two wells in its Morskoe field, and Vector plans to drill ten wells in its Atyrau block in 2005, commencing approximately in May and July respectively. Sun Drilling has agreed to provide full well construction services for these wells on a turnkey basis, specified under formal drilling contracts, finalized on May 5th. The Companys operating subsidiaries, KoZhaN and Vector, will pay 20% of Sun Drilling's pre-agreed well construction cost in cash as each well is completed and the 80% balance within one year carrying an interest charge of LIBOR plus 4% per annum.  The payment of the 80% balance is secured by convertible debentures.  Sun Drilling will have the right to convert to the Company's shares of common stock after 365 days from issue of each invoice, with the conversion price not to exceed two dollars per share.  There is an additional optional conversion clause that permits Sun Drilling LLP, upon 30 days notice, on or before the Maturity Date, to redeem the convertible debentures, in whole or from time to time in part at the option of Sun Drilling LLP, at a redemption price equal to the Conversion Price plus accrued and unpaid interest.



Each of the foregoing issuances of securities was exempt from registration due to the exemption found in Regulation S promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933. These sales were offshore transactions since all of the offerees were not in the United States and the purchasers were outside the United States at the time of the purchase. Moreover, there were no directed selling efforts of any kind made in the Untied States neither by us nor by any affiliate or any person acting on our behalf in connection with any of these offerings. All offering materials and documents used in connection with the offers and sales of the securities included statements to the effect that the securities have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to U.S. persons unless the securities are registered under the Act or an exemption therefrom is available and that no hedging transactions involving those securities may not be conducted unless in compliance with the Act. Each purchaser under Regulation S certified that it is not a U.S. person and is not acquiring the securities for the account or benefit of any U.S. person and agreed to resell such securities only in accordance with the provisions of Regulation S, pursuant to registration under the Act or pursuant to an available exemption from registration. The shares sold are restricted securities and the certificates representing these shares have been affixed with a standard restrictive legend, which states that the securities cannot be sold without registration under the Securities Act of 1933 or an exemption there from and we are required to refuse to register any transfer that does not comply with such requirements.



In March 2005 Big Sky issued 1,750,000 restricted shares of common stock to four option holders who exercised their options under Big Skys 2000 Stock Award Plan.

37





As of July 18, 2005 and still ongoing, Big Sky commenced a private placement with a view to raising $25m in new equity.  Under this private placement, up to 25,000,000 shares of common stock (or in the case of Canadian investors, potentially issue securities that are in the form of Special Warrants convertible into common shares on the filing of a prospectus in Canada) is offered to potential investors. The common shares and special warrants will be offered on a best efforts basis through a syndicate of agents led by Westwind Partners Inc. (the "Agents").  The Corporation has also agreed to grant the Agents an option, exercisable at any time up to 30 days following the closing of the offering, to increase the size of the offering by an additional 10,000,000 common shares.



This offering was scheduled to close on or about July 30, 2005, however on July 29, 2005, the Corporation announced an extension to this private placement so as to offer up to 42m shares and the private placement is tentatively scheduled to complete on or about August 16, 2005

Where appropriate, the foregoing issuances of securities were exempt from registration pursuant to Rule 506 of Regulation D. Neither we nor any person acting on our behalf offered or sold these securities by any form of general solicitation or general advertising. The shares sold are restricted securities and the certificates representing these shares have been affixed with a standard restrictive legend, which states that the securities cannot be sold without registration under the Securities Act of 1933 or an exemption therefrom.
