Lease Hold Situation - The Companys oil and gas properties are all held pursuant to production sharing contracts signed by the Minister of Mines and Energy of the Republic of Indonesia and the president of the former state owned oil company, Pertamina. The Indonesian government regulatory agency known as BPMigas regulates the production sharing contracts in Indonesia including those held by the Company which as of the Report Date of this Annual Report include:

The Bengara-II Concession is held pursuant to a standard terms "Production Sharing Contract" ("PSC") dated 12/04/97 and having a 30 year term. The Companys Continental-GeoPetro (Bengara-II) Ltd. subsidiary is the sole party to the PSC and owner of 100% of Bengara-II Concession rights under the PSC.



Production Sharing Contract Terms, Commitments & Obligations - The Production Sharing Contract or PSC is the form by which the government of Indonesian grants oil and gas concession rights. The Indonesian government is privatizing Pertamina and Pertamina's role as a regulator of oil and gas concessions has been placed on a new regulatory agency known as BPMigas since late 2002. BPMigas now regulates the Company's Bengara-II and Yapen concessions and issues all new concessions. All new PSC contracts are negotiated with and awarded and supervised by BPMigas. Production sharing contracts are approved by the President of the Republic of Indonesian and are signed by both the minister of mines and energy and the president of BPMigas. BPMigas refers to holders of its PSC's as production sharing "Contractors". In return for a commitment to conduct an exploration work program of specified, annual minimum expenditure monetary amounts, a "Work Program", a Contractor signing a PSC will receive exclusive rights to explore for and exploit and produce any petroleum found within his PSC contract area. The signature feature of the PSC contract is the concept and PSC provision for "Cost Recovery".  Cost Recovery is a PSC provision which provides that any Contractor making a commercial discovery of petroleum within his PSC contract area is allowed to fully recover ALL of his prior expenditures within the contract area out of first revenue from oil and gas production prior to sharing any remaining revenue with BPMigas and the State.

China Wisdom International (HK) Ltd. ("China Wisdom) Farm Out of Bengara-II Property  During the 2003 fiscal year, the Company and its farm out partner, GeoPetro, entered into an agreement with an unrelated partner, China Wisdom, to dispose of 40% of the Companys 60% owned Continental-GeoPetro (Bengara-II) Ltd. subsidiary.  To earn its 40% interest, China Wisdom was to pay $720,000 and drill five exploration wells no later than 12/31/04, at least three of which were to be drilled in 2003, with the first of the three completed by 9/30/03.  No drilling was commenced by China Wisdom. During the prior fiscal year, to fulfill its obligation under the farm out agreement, 40% of the issued and outstanding shares of Continental-GeoPetro (Bengara-II) Ltd. had been transferred to China Wisdom.

On 12/4/03, the Company and GeoPetro gave China Wisdom notice that the agreement is to be terminated effective 12/1/03 and requested that the Continental-GeoPetro (Bengara-II) Ltd. shares previously transferred to China Wisdom be returned to the Company and GeoPetro. The Company together with GeoPetro were claimants in a civil suit brought against China Wisdom International (HK) Ltd. pertaining to China Wisdoms default and failure to fulfill its drilling obligations under the FOA.

Competitive Conditions - The oil and gas industry is highly competitive.  This competition includes 1) bidding for oil and natural gas rights; 2) obtaining often limited amounts of risk capital for necessary exploration and drilling expenditures and 3) marketing of produced oil and gas.  In each case the Company will be competing with other companies and individuals, some of which have far greater resources than those possessed by the Company.

Environmental Protection Requirements - Under the terms of its Indonesian concessions the Company is obligated to conduct an environmental baseline study in each PSC or TAC contract area prior to commencing activities.  The Company is also obligated to take necessary precautions to protect ecological systems, navigation and fishing and prevent pollution of land, sea or rivers during petroleum operations.  Upon expiration, termination or relinquishment of any part of the contract area or abandonment of any field, the Company is obliged to remove all equipment and installations brought by the Company to the contract area and to perform all necessary site restoration activities required by law.  In the event the Company assigns its operations and interest in the contract area to another party or to BPMigas or to a BPMigas designee, then the Company will be released from its obligation to remove equipment and installations and restore the site further, provided that in such event the Company will transfer all accumulated funds reserved for such removal and restoration to BPMigas.

The Company is obliged to include in the annual work program and budget submission to BPMigas/Pertamina provision for and estimates of anticipated abandonment and site restoration costs for each well drilled in the contract area by the Company.  In so doing, the Company ensures ultimate cost recovery from production proceeds of all such abandonment and site restoration costs that the Company may incur.  It is obliged to include in the requisite plan of development, submitted to BPMigas/Pertamina for each commercial discovery, provision for, and estimates of, anticipated field abandonment and field facilities site restoration costs, together with a plan for reserving funds over the productive life of a field to pay for the abandonment and restoration. These funds are included in the AWP&B for each calendar year.  The Company is thereby entitled to cost recovery from production proceeds of all such abandonment and site restoration costs.  See also section below ITEM-#9: "Risk Factors - Environmental Risks" for further specific discussion of specific environmental regulations applicable to the Company's Indonesia oil and gas properties and operations.

Staffing and Employees - The Company employs and pays 100% of the costs of one full-time administrative staff in its Dallas office, its VP and acting CFO. The Company closed its Vancouver office on 31/7/04 and terminated employment of two part-time administrative staff.  The Dallas office handles financial, administrative, corporate governance and securities regulatory matters.  Independent legal counsel, accountants, auditors and engineers are retained and utilized as required. All other personnel, including the President of the Company, are employed by one or more of the Company's majority owned Indonesian joint venture companies and are assigned to operations in their Jakarta offices. Under this practice the administrative costs of the Jakarta office, salaries paid employees (including the Companys President) and fees paid consultants are directly allocable and chargeable to the Companys joint venture oil and gas properties. Therefore these staff costs all count against the Companys monetary work commitments under each property and also qualify for full cost recovery if and when commercial petroleum production is established. The Company is responsible for paying its 60% joint venture share of the charges for approximately ten Indonesian employees and three expatriate staff, including the Companys President, who are directly hired to particular joint ventures or property companies.  The Jakarta based joint-venture operations staff are engaged in the day to day management of the Companys joint venture oil and gas exploration and development operations.  The existing available staff is sufficient to evaluate properties, generate prospects and plays and supervise and direct drilling operations using third party drilling contractors.

The costs of the Jakarta offices, administrative costs and staff costs are shared among the Companys Indonesian joint-venture operations and are allocated and apportioned to each particular joint-venture project pursuant to a mutually agreed arrangement between each joint venture.  Employee costs in the Jakarta offices are shared and apportioned on a time sheet basis between properties and joint ventures in accordance with the property concession agreements and the respective joint-venture agreements. The Company has adequate staff and personnel in its Vancouver and Jakarta offices to carry out its exploration and development programs planned for next year.

Competition - There is competition from other oil/gas exploration/development companies with operations similar to that of the Company's.  Many of the companies with which the Company competes have operations and financial strength many times that of the Company. Nevertheless, the market for the Company's possible future production of oil/gas tends to be commodity oriented, rather than company oriented.  Accordingly, the Company expects to compete by keeping its production costs low through judicious selection of which portions of its properties to develop and keeping overhead charges within industry standards.

Revenues - The Company generated no material revenue from operations during the last five fiscal years.

Foreign Operations - All of the Company's resource properties and the focus of its operations and growth strategy lays overseas in the Republic of Indonesia. This concentration of assets and effort involves a high degree of political risk unique to the situation of the country in which such operations are focused.  See ITEM-#9 section "Political Risk" for further specific discussion of Indonesia political risk.

USA vs. Foreign Sales/Assets - At fiscal years ended 07/31/2005, 07/31/2004, and 07/31/2003 respectively $56,861, $316,839 and $320,804 of the Company's assets were located in Indonesia and $240,240, $171,919 and $763,149 of the assets were located in Canada. The Company does not have any material assets in the United States.  The Company has no sales for the years ended July 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005.



PLAN OF OPERATIONS

Sources of Funds, Liquidity and Working Capital

The Company has been acquiring and exploring oil/gas properties and at the end of Fiscal 2005 had not received material revenue from operations.  The Company does not anticipate material revenue from operations during Fiscal 2006. At the Report Date of this Annual Report,:

The Company had 8,695,334 warrants outstanding entitling the holders to purchase 8,695,334 common shares at prices between US$0.15 and $0.60. See Table No. 4 below. Although there are no guarantees that any warrants will be exercised the Company would receive additional capital upon any warrant exercise.

The Company had 8,382,426 stock options outstanding entitling the holders to purchase 8,382,426 common shares at prices between US$0.15 and US$0.25. See Table No. 4 below. Although there are no guarantees that any options will be exercised the Company would receive additional capital upon any option exercise.

The Company is discussing private placements of its securities with investors to provide funds required for work on its properties during calendar 2006; however, these are preliminary and there can be no assurance that any further external financings can be completed.

The Company is discussing possible sales or farm-outs of some portion of its interest in its Bengara-II property.  Successful farm outs would reduce the Companys cash requirements for exploration costs and may generate reimbursement of historical costs to the Company.  However, these talks and plans are preliminary and there can be no assurance that any farm outs can be completed.



Uses of Funds

Based on its annual work programs and budgets submitted to BPMigas/Pertamina (See ITEM-#9 "Material Events Occurring Since Last Fiscal Year") the Company expects to need and use funds during calendar 2006 as follows:

The Bengara-II Block Planned Bengara-II JV work activity for calendar year 2006 is based on an annual work program and budget submitted to BPMigas/Pertamina by Continental-GeoPetro (Bengara-II) Ltd. as operator for the block in the amount of US$ 18,692,000 of which the Company expects to fund its 60% Bengara-II JV share, or US$ 11,215,200 to accomplish the planned four exploration well drilling program.

ITEM - # 2   DESCRIPTION OF OIL & GAS PROPERTIES



SUMMARY DESCRIPTION OF THE BENGARA-II BLOCK

The Bengara-II Block is located mostly onshore but partially offshore astride the Bulungan River Delta in the Indonesian province of East Kalimantan on the northeast coast of the island of Borneo. The Bengara-II Block originally provided the Company oil and gas exploration and production rights to a total area of 4,867 square kilometers or about 1.2 Million acres; however in June 2001 a mandatory partial relinquishment of acreage as stipulated in the Bengara-II PSC reduced the total area of the Bengara-II Block to 3,650 square kilometers or 900,000 acres.  The Bengara-II Block can be characterized as a high potential medium risk oil and gas exploration property. There has been one well drilled on the property that encountered significant flows of gas and gas condensate. There is no current oil or gas production on the property.

Geological Setting - Geologically the Bengara-II Block lies in the Tarakan Basin near major oilfields on Tarakan and Bunyu Islands.  More than 310 million barrels of oil and 97 billion cubic feet of gas have been produced from the Tarakan Basin from 349 wells in 15 recognized fields.  Over 7,000 meters of highly prospective deltaic sediments are expected to exist in the eastern portion of the Block and the presence of high quality reservoir sands in close juxtaposition to organically rich and thermally mature source rocks is well documented.  Sedimentary conditions for the generation and preservation of hydrocarbons in the Bengara-II Block are ideal throughout the entire expected stratigraphic section.

Muara Makapan-#1 Gas and Condensate Discovery - Since 1938, only two wells have been drilled in the Bengara-II Block.  One of these is a substantial gas discovery.  The Muara Makapan-#1 was drilled in 1988 by Deminex from a swamp barge positioned on one of the Bulungan River Delta distributary mouth channels.  It reached a total depth of 3,300 meters within the Naintupo Formation The well was plugged and abandoned as a gas discovery.  It tested 19.5 million cubic feet of gas per day together with 602 barrels of condensate per day from 12 meters of deltaic sandstones of the Pliocene lower Tarakan Formation at a depth of 1,900 meters.  Teikoku's Tanjung Sepikat-#1 in 1991 encountered shows but tested water.

Old Oil Field - A striking feature of the Block is the presence of a 1-hectare "Lake of Oil".  In 1998 a Company field geology team located the oil lake and at least four steel pipes, believed to be old wellheads from a circa 1915 "Galiadap Field" oil production operation, still actively leaking oil and water and feeding the "Oil Lake".  The Company has seismically located a potentially huge oil Play underlying the oil lakes and expects its first drilling to be in this area.

Plays & Prospects - Nearly 2,200 line kilometers of 2D seismic data available within the Bengara-II Block are adequate for selection of drilling prospects.  Cost effective field geology surveys are expected to confirm initial drilling targets without the need for additional seismic until after a first discovery is made. The Company has identified and conceived 18 separate and unique petroleum "Plays" within the Bengara-II Block as well as 96 "Prospects" and over 450 seismically identified "Leads", many associated with seismic character anomalies and direct hydrocarbon indications.  The sheer number of unique, identified and conceptualized "Plays" in this Block is unusual and reflects a high degree of petroleum potential.  Some well defined Prospects present immediate drilling targets.  The numerous leads offer additional prospectivity once productive Plays are confirmed.

Related Info on the Bengara-II Block - For additional information on the Bengara-II Block elsewhere discussed in this report see the sections in ITEM-#9 entitled "Bengara-II PSC Annual Work Program and Budget" and "Bengara-II PSC Commitments".  Disclosure and discussion of additional detailed information on the Bengara-II Block that was made in fiscal 2003 annual report form-20F filing is hereby incorporated in this report by this reference.

ITEM - # 3   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS



Except for the following, as of the Report Date of this Annual Report, the Company knows of no material, active or pending legal proceedings against them; nor is the Company involved as a plaintiff in any material proceeding or pending litigation.

1.

In a press release dated September 19, 2001 the Company announced that it has entered into a financing arrangement and related agreements with a private "Investor" providing a firm and binding "Equity Line of Credit" to the Company in the amount of up to US$ 20,000,000 over the next three years. The Investor was Cornell Capital Partners, LP, ("Cornell") a New York-based investment fund managed by Yorkville Advisors Management, LLC. ("Yorkville"). The Company issued 1,000,000 of its common shares to the principals of Cornell and Yorkville soon after signing the financing arrangement in full expectation of performance of promises made by Cornell and Yorkville under the agreements. Subsequently, the Global uncertainty post 9-11 and depressed US stock market conditions contributed to the Companys decision to delay filing of the required prospectus to implement the Equity Line funding arrangement. A dispute between the Company and Cornell/Yorkville has arisen over a claim by Cornell/Yorkville for payment of a second tranche of Company common shares which the original agreements contemplated, which agreements were contingent upon certain performance by Cornell and Yorkville. The Company does not believe that the issue of any more shares to Cornell/Yorkville is appropriate given the fact that all parties agree original Equity Line of Credit agreements provide for a financing arrangement that is no longer available.  Consequently, on January 13, 2004, the Company filed a civil complaint in United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against Cornell and Yorkville seeking an order (i) declaring that the Equity Line of Credit Agreement is void and unenforceable, and that accordingly the Company is not required to deliver any additional shares of its common stock to Cornell, (ii) for the return of shares of its common stock the Company has already delivered to Cornell, and (iii) for damages caused by Cornell/Yorkvilles failure to return such shares to the Company and to perform certain services for the Company. Cornell/Yorkvilles has filed a counter claim suit against the Company for the payment of the second tranche of shares.  As at the Report Date of this Annual Report of these financial statements the outcome of this suit is not determinable and no provision has been made in the financial statements as a result of the counter claim.

ITEM - # 6   EXCHANGE CONTROLS AND OTHER

LIMITATIONS  AFFECTING SECURITY HOLDERS



Except as discussed in ITEM-#7, "Taxation", the Company is not aware of any Canadian federal or provincial laws, decrees, or regulations that restrict the export or import of capital, including foreign exchange controls, or that affect the remittance of dividends, interest or other payments to non-Canadian holders of the common shares.  There are no limitations on the right of non-Canadian owners to hold or vote the common shares imposed by Canadian federal or provincial law or by the charter or other constituent documents of the Company.



The Investment Canada Act(the "IC Act") governs acquisitions of Canadian business by a non-Canadian person or entity. The IC Actrequires a non-Canadian (as defined in the IC Act) making an investment to acquire control of a Canadian business, the gross assets of which exceed certain defined threshold levels, to file an application for review with the Investment Review Division of Industry Canada.  The IC Actprovides, among other things, for a review of an investment in the event of acquisition of "control" in certain Canadian businesses in the following circumstances:

1.

If the investor is a non-Canadian and is a national of a country belonging to the North American Free Trade Agreement ("NAFTA") and/or the World Trade Organization ("WTO") ("NAFTA or WTO National"), any direct acquisition having an asset value exceeding $179,000,000 is reviewable. This amount is subject to an annual adjustment on the basis of a prescribed formula in the IC Actto reflect inflation and real growth within Canada.  This threshold level does not apply in certain sections of Canadian industry, such as uranium, financial services (except insurance), transportation services and cultural services (i.e. the publication, distribution or sale of books, magazines, periodicals (other than printing or typesetting businesses), music in print or machine readable form, radio, television, cable and satellite services; the publication, distribution, sale or exhibition of film or video recordings on audio or video music recordings), to which lower thresholds as prescribed in the IC Actare applicable.

2.

If the investor is a non-Canadian and is not a NAFTA or a WTO National, any direct acquisition having an asset value exceeding $5,000,000 and any indirect acquisition having an asset value exceeding $50,000,000 is reviewable.

3.

If the investor is a non-Canadian and is a NAFTA or a WTO National, an indirect acquisition of control is reviewable if the value of the assets of the business located in Canada represents more than 50% of the asset value of the transaction or the business is involved in uranium, financial services, transportation services or cultural services (as set forth above).



Finally, certain transactions prescribed in the IC Actare exempted from review altogether. In the context of the Company, in essence, three methods of acquiring control of a Canadian business are regulated by the IC Act: (i) the acquisition of all or substantially all of the assets used in carrying on business in Canada; (ii) the acquisition, directly or indirectly, of voting shares of a Canadian corporation carrying on business in Canada; or (iii) the acquisition of voting shares of an entity which controls, directly or indirectly, another entity carrying on business in Canada. An acquisition of a majority of the voting shares of a Canadian entity, including a corporation, is deemed to be an acquisition of control under the IC Act.  However, under the IC Act, there is a rebuttable presumption that control is acquired if one-third of the voting shares of a Canadian corporation or an equivalent undivided interest in the voting shares of such corporation are held by a non-Canadian person or entity.  An acquisition of less than one-third of the voting shares of a Canadian corporation is deemed not to be an acquisition of control.  An acquisition of less than a majority, but one-third or more, of the voting shares of a Canadian corporation is presumed to be an acquisition of control unless it can be established that, on the acquisition, the Canadian corporation is not, in fact, controlled by the acquirer through the ownership of voting shares. For partnerships, trusts, joint ventures or other unincorporated Canadian entities, an acquisition of less than a majority of the voting interests is deemed not to be an acquisition of control.



In addition, if a Canadian corporation is controlled by a non-Canadian, the acquisition of control of any other Canadian corporation by such corporation may be subject to the prior approval of the Investment Review Division, unless it can be established that the Canadian corporation is not in fact controlled by the acquirer through the ownership of voting shares. Where an investment is reviewable under the IC Act, the investment may not be implemented unless it is likely to be of net benefit to Canada.  If an applicant is unable to satisfy the Minister responsible for Industry Canada that the investment is likely to be of net benefit to Canada, the applicant may not proceed with the investment.  Alternatively, an acquirer may be required to divest control of the Canadian business that is the subject of the investment. In addition to the foregoing, the IC Actprovides for formal notification under the IC Actof all other acquisitions of control by Canadian businesses by non-Canadian investors.  The notification process consists of filing a notification within 30 days following the implementation of an investment, which notification is for information, as opposed to review, purposes.

ITEM - # 7   Taxation



Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations - The following summary discusses only the Canadian federal income tax considerations generally applicable to a holder (a "Holder") of one or more common shares of the Company who, for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the "Tax Act") is a non-resident of Canada who holds common shares as capital property.  The summary deals with the provisions of the Tax Act in force on 12/31/99.  It does not discuss all the tax consequences that may be relevant to particular holders in light of their circumstances or to holders subject to special rules.  It is therefore not intended to be, nor should it be construed to be, legal or tax advice to any holder of common shares of the Company and no opinion or representation with respect to the Canadian income tax consequences to any such holder or prospective holder is made.  Holders and prospective holders should therefore consult their own tax advisers with respect to their particular circumstances.

Dividends - A Holder will be subject to Canadian withholding tax ("Part XIII Tax") equal to 25%, or such lower rate as may be available under an applicable tax treaty, of the gross amount of any dividend paid or deemed to be paid on common shares.  Under the Canada-US Income Tax Convention (1980) as amended by the Protocols signed on 6/14/83, 3/28/84, 3/17/95, and 7/29/97 (the "Treaty"), the rate of Part XIII Tax applicable to a dividend on common shares paid to a Holder who is a resident of the United States and who is the beneficial owner of the dividend, is 5%.  If the Holder is a company that owns at least 10% of the voting stock of the Company paying the dividend, and, in all other cases, the tax rate is 15% of the gross amount of the dividend.  The Company will be required to withhold the applicable amount of Part XIII Tax from each dividend so paid and remit the withheld amount directly to the Receiver General for Canada for the account of the Holder.

Disposition of Common Shares - A Holder who disposes of a common share, including by deemed disposition on death, will not normally be subject to Canadian tax on any capital gain (or capital loss) thereby realized unless the common share constituted "taxable Canadian property" as defined by the Tax Act.  Generally, a common share of a public corporation will not constitute taxable Canadian property of a Holder if the share is listed on a prescribed stock exchange unless the Holder or persons with whom the Holder did not deal at arm's length alone or together held or held options to acquire, at any time within the five years preceding the disposition, 25% or more of the shares of any class of the capital stock of the Company. The CDNX is a prescribed stock exchange under the Tax Act.  A Holder who is a resident of the United States and realizes a capital gain on a disposition of a common share that was taxable Canadian property will nevertheless, by virtue of the Treaty, generally be exempt from Canadian tax thereon unless (a) more than 50% of the value of the common shares is derived from, or from an interest in, Canadian real estate, including Canadian mineral resource properties, (b) the common share formed part of the business property of a permanent establishment that the Holder has or had in Canada within the 12 month period preceding the disposition, or (c) the Holder is an individual who (i) was a resident of Canada at any time during the 10 years immediately preceding the disposition, and for a total of 120 months during any period of 20 consecutive years, preceding the disposition, and (ii) owned the common share when he ceased to be resident in Canada. A Holder who is subject to Canadian tax in respect of a capital gain realized on a disposition of a common share must include three quarters of the capital gain (taxable capital gain) in computing the Holder's taxable income earned in Canada.  The Holder may, subject to certain limitations, deduct three-quarters of any capital loss (allowable capital loss) arising on a disposition of taxable Canadian property from taxable capital gains realized in the year of disposition in respect to taxable Canadian property and, to the extent not so deductible, from such taxable capital gains realized in any of the three preceding years or any subsequent year.

United States Taxation - For federal income tax purposes, an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States or a domestic corporation ("US Taxpayer") will recognize a gain or loss on the sale of the Company's common shares equal to the difference between the proceeds from such sale and the adjusted tax basis of the common shares.  The gain or loss will be a capital gain or capital loss if the Company's common shares is a capital asset in the hands of the US Taxpayer. For federal income tax purposes, a US Taxpayer will be required to include in gross income dividends received on the Company's common shares.  A US Taxpayer who pays Canadian tax on a dividend on common shares will be entitled, subject to certain limitations, to a credit (or alternatively, a deduction) against federal income tax liability.

A domestic corporation that owns at least 10% of the voting shares of the Company should consult its tax advisor as to applicability of the deemed paid foreign tax credit with respect to dividends paid on the Company's common shares. Under a number of circumstances, United States Investor acquiring shares of the Company may be required to file an information return with the Internal Revenue Service Center where they are required to file their tax returns with a duplicate copy to the Internal Revenue Service Center, Philadelphia, PA 19255. In particular, any United States Investor who becomes the owner, directly or indirectly, of 10% or more of the shares of the Company will be required to file such a return. Other filing requirements may apply, and United States Investors should consult their own tax advisors concerning these requirements.

This is not intended to be, nor should it be construed to be, legal or tax advice to any holder of common shares of the Company and no opinion or representation with respect to the US income tax consequences to any such holder or prospective holder is made.  Holders and prospective holders should therefore consult their own tax advisers with respect to their particular circumstances.

How Earnings Per Share Are Calculated - Under Canadian generally accepted accounting principals the calculation of basic loss per share is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year as well as excluding any common stock equivalents that may be outstanding, if such common stock equivalents are not anti-dilutive.  This weighted average number of common shares outstanding includes any shares that remain in escrow that are contingently cancelable, that may be earned out based on the company incurring a certain amount of exploration and development expenditures. Under United States generally accepted accounting principals, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding excludes any shares that remain in escrow that are contingently cancelable, but may be earned out based on the company incurring a certain amount of exploration and development expenditures. This refers to disclosure required under Exhibit-6.

How Reported Ratios Are Calculated - The Company has not calculated and is not reporting any ratio of earning to fixed charges, to combined fixed charges or to any dividends and has not calculated and reported any other ratios, other than earnings per share as set forth above, in this report; and hence no basis for such calculation is included. This section refers to disclosure required under Exhibit-7.

FINANCIAL RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion of the Company's financial results includes those for the most recently completed fiscal quarter ended 10/31/05 and the most recently completed last three fiscal years ended 7/31/05, 2004, and 2003.  Comparisons to "the same period last year" refer to financial results for the same fiscal period ended the previous fiscal year and may be read together with audited, consolidated financial statements for the previous fiscal year ended 7/31/04.  The section for the most recent quarter ended 10/31/05 should be read together with the Company's quarterly interim unaudited financial statements which were filed under Form-6K and are hereby incorporated for reference.





FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE MOST RECENTLY COMPLETED FISCAL QUARTER ENDED 10/31/05

The quarter ended 10/31/05 marks the first quarter of the Companys annual fiscal year ending 7/31/06. All balances referred to in the following discussion are in US$ currency.

Current Working Capital Situation  As at 10/31/05, the Company's interim consolidated financial statements reflect a working capital position of $3,423,059. This represents an increase in the working capital of approximately $3,462,000 compared to the July 31, 2005 deficit of $39,066. The increase was mainly due to the Company selling its Yapen subsidiary and receiving cash proceeds of $3,600,000.  The cash balance at 10/31/05 was $3,609,871 compared to $98,898 as at July 31, 2005, an increase of $3,510,973. The Company used $71,910 for operating activities during the current fiscal quarter compared with $97,828 in the three months ended October 31, 2004.  The current level of spending is consistent with the prior year spending for operations. The cash resources provided by investing activities during the current fiscal quarter was $3,588,271 compared with using $8,803 in the three months ended October 31, 2004.  The Companys property expenditures were reduced to a minimal level until such time as financing is obtained to continue further exploration and development of its Indonesian properties.  The current year amount includes the proceeds from the Yapen sale. The Company used $5,388 for financing activities during the current fiscal quarter compared with $5,205 in the prior year quarter.  The current level of spending is consistent with the prior year spending for financing activities.

Investments during Most Recent Fiscal Quarter Ended 10/31/05  During the three months ended 10/31/05 the Company invested approximately $42,000 in its Indonesian oil & gas properties and recovered $30,000 from its farm out partner, GeoPetro.

Finance during Most Recent Fiscal Quarter Ended 10/31/05  During the three months ended 10/31/05 there were no Private Placements and no Stock Options or Warrants exercised. On 10/31/05, the Company had options outstanding granted to directors, officers and consultants to purchase an aggregate of 8,932,426 shares at prices ranging from $0.15 to $0.20 and expiring at varying dates between December 30, 2005 and April 30, 2009. On 10/31/05, the Company had warrants outstanding to purchase an aggregate of 8,895,334 shares at prices ranging from $0.15 to $0.60 and expiring at varying dates between July 19, 2006 and April 27, 2007.

Income during Most Recent Fiscal Quarter Ended 10/31/05  During the three months ended 10/31/05 the Company sold its Yapen subsidiary for cash proceeds of $3,600,000 and recorded a gain of $3,599,999 on disposition.

Expenses during Most Recent Fiscal Quarter Ended 10/31/05  Overall, the Company had income from operations during the three months ended 10/31/05 of $3,451,135 compared to a loss of $234,128 in the three months ended October 31, 2004.  The largest difference was the fact that the Company sold its Yapen subsidiary for cash proceeds of $3,600,000 and recorded a gain of $3,599,999 on disposition.  There were no disposals in the three months ended October 31, 2004  The Company wrote down its resource properties to nominal values, which resulted in an expense in the amount of $11,729.  In the prior fiscal period, the property write-down was $15,667.  The Company elected to remove certain accounts payable in the amount of $6,855 off its books during the current fiscal period due to the fact that they were over 6 years old and the Company has received no correspondence from these vendors over this period.  These payables were on the books of the Company when the current management took over the Company and have been maintained for conservative purposes, but upon legal advice they are now being written off resulting in a gain of $6,855.  General and administrative expenses decreased by $70,116 from $214,106 to $143,990 for the three months ended October 31, 2004 and 2005 respectively.  The significant changes to general and administrative expenses are as follows.  Office expenses decreased by $26,428 from $36,390 to $9,962 for the three months ended October 31, 2004 and 2005 respectively. The decrease in office expenses is mostly due to the disposal of GATB and resulting reduced operating expenses.  Foreign exchange loss and interest expense decreased by $17,373 from $23,265 to $5,892.  This reduction is also due to selling GATB and removing the need to revalue large Rupiah denominated assets and liabilities previously held in GATB.  Management fees decreased by $12,676 from $82,997 to $70,321.  The decrease is due to lower management fees paid out by the Companys subsidiaries with the disposal of GATB in July 2005.  All other expense groups appear consistent with the comparative period and most decreased slightly.

After making accounting adjustments for equipment returned and a reclassification of prepaid expenditures misallocated in a prior period, the Company wrote down its resource properties to nominal values, which resulted in an expense in the amount of $12,961.  In the prior year, the property write-down was $252,613.  General and administrative expenses decreased by $118,739 from $964,391 to $845,652 for the current fiscal years ended July 31, 2004 and 2005 respectively.  The significant changes to general and administrative expenses were lower management fees in the current year.  Management fees decreased by $155,791 from $478,331 to $322,540 for the year ended July 31, 2004 and 2005 respectively. The decrease is due to the loss of a director in the Langley office coupled with lower management fees paid out by the Companys subsidiaries and offset by one additional management position in the Companys Dallas office. Staff Wage expense decreased to $nil from $25,163 due to the closure of the Langley office.  Investor relations costs decreased by $23,997 from $30,105 to $6,108 for the year ended July 31, 2004 and 2005 respectively.

The financing costs, interest on loans and foreign exchange loss line item was $74,112 compared to a gain of $39,798 lasting the prior year.  The increase is mainly due to the revaluing of the Companys Rupiah denominated payables during the year as well as a one time interest charge of $44,373 relating the shares for debt transaction in the Companys GATB subsidiary.  Professional fees increased by $31,752 from $66,311 to $98,063 for the year ended July 31, 2004 and 2005 respectively.  The increase is due to additional legal work done during the year with respect to various agreements and the increasing costs of regulatory compliance with respect to audit and accounting requirements.  Rent and utilities increased by $10,448 from $50,596 to $61,044.  This mostly relates to the company relocating offices in Jakarta.  All other expense groups appear consistent with the comparative period.

ITEM - # 9   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION



The Company has no oil or gas production, no revenues, and no internally generated income of any kind. The Company owns two oil and gas exploration concessions in Indonesia covering 3.7 million acres.  The Company's management considers the Bengara-II Block to be a medium risk and high potential reward property and the Yapen Block to be a high risk, high potential reward property.  Minimizing the risks and exploiting the potential of the Indonesian Properties to the maximum extent possible is the Company's primary objective.



LIQUIDITY AND CAPTIAL RESOURCES

In order to realize any reward and income from either of the two Indonesian concessions the Company must first meet its contractual obligations to expend amounts set forth in the Production Sharing Contracts pursuant to which the Company was awarded the concessions.  Refer to Exhibit-10B: "PSC Terms".  These cash obligations are substantial and although the contractual obligations include expenditure for drilling exploratory wells there is no assurance that the exploratory wells actually drilled will be successful in discovering oil and gas. Additional funds may be required to continue exploration drilling after contractual obligations are met in an effort to make a commercially exploitable discovery.  The Company may, in fact, face an even greater cash requirement in the event of a successfully discovery in order to finance a field development project although a discovery would provide the Company greater flexibility and give it more options in raising capital.



The Company is not currently liquid and raising sufficient funds to conduct the Company's ambitious objectives are the highest priority and an issue the Company expects to deal with proactively in next year on a constant basis.  There is no real opportunity to realize internally generated income from oil and gas production unless a merger or acquisition opportunity is realized.  The Company has basically two options to raise operating capital.  Either the Company must issue securities or farm out its resource properties.  The Company plans to raise required funds in the near future by utilizing both methods.

MATERIAL EVENTS OCCURRING SINCE THE

LAST FISCAL YEAR END 7/31/05 UNTIL THE REPORT  DATE

The following is a discussion of three material events, which have occurred which have significant impact on the Company the implications of which are discussed below and the section entitled "Material Commitments".

Finders Agreement  On 10/10/05 the Company engaged London based Alternative Energy Finance Ltd. ("AEF") to source European and Middle Eastern investors for the Company and its projects. Under the agreement the Company is not obliged to pay AEF any fees but agreed to set stock options and to pay a successful efforts finders fee of 5% on equity investment and 2.5% on debt investment in the Company or its projects by investors brought by AEF.

Yapen Disposition  Pursuant to a farm out agreement with Maraja Yapen Energy Ltd. (Maraja) dated 6/28/04, Medco International Ventures Ltd. (Medco) farmed out a 75% share of its Yapen PSC interest to Maraja and the Company's 60% owned subsidiary Continental-GeoPetro (Yapen) Ltd.s 10% interest in the Yapen PSC was unaffected. Maraja failed to perform its obligations to Medco under the said farm out agreement resulting in Maraja's breach of contract and consequently in accordance with the provisions of the farm out agreement Maraja's 75% interest in the Yapen PSC was reassigned to Yapen in a deed of assignment dated 8/15/05 subsequent to fiscal year end 7/31/05. Neither the Company nor its Continental-GeoPetro (Yapen) Ltd. subsidiary realized any proceeds from the reassignment which brought Continental-GeoPetro (Yapen) Ltd.'s participating interest in the Yapen PSC to 85%. Medco continues to own 15%. Subsequent to the end of the fiscal year 7/31/05 the Company and its partner GeoPetro Resources Company sold, pursuant to a shares sale and purchase agreement dated 10/26/05, all 100% of their respective shares of their Continental-GeoPetro (Yapen) Ltd. subsidiary to Nations Energy Company Ltd., an unrelated buyer, for US$ 6,000,000 cash. The Company received its 60% share of the sales proceeds or US$ 3,600,000 at closing on 10/27/05. With the sale the Company no longer has any interest in the Yapen PSC.

Director Resignation   Mr. Stan Lichman resigned from his post of director and his resignation was accepted on 10/31/05.

Bengara-II PSC Annual Work Program and Budget for 2005  The Companys Continental-GeoPetro (Bengara-II) Ltd. subsidiary submitted the Bengara-II JV's annual work program and budget to BPMigas on 11/24/05 for calendar year 2006 for the Bengara-II PSC contract area onshore East Kalimantan, Indonesia. The planned work program for 2006 consists of continuing geological evaluation, seismic interpretation and prospect generation as well as the drilling of at least 4 exploration wells. The Company expects to raise funds to complete the Bengara-II PSC work program and budget through a combination of private placements and farm outs. The budget as submitted is presented in the following table:

MATERIAL COMMITMENTS

A summary of the current status of all material contracts, commitments and expenditure obligations of the Company as of the date of this ANNUAL REPORT are described below.  The Company intends to meet its commitments by a combination of raising funds through placement of its securities and through farm out of promoted working interests in its Indonesian properties.  There is no guarantee the Company will be successful in raising sufficient capital and the inability to meet its obligations may have material adverse detrimental effects on the Company, its operations and its particular resource properties. See Exhibit-10B: "PSC Terms" for material commitments common to all Indonesian PSC and TAC contracts.



PSC Vendor Promissory Notes   As part of the total consideration paid the original vendors pursuant to the Company's acquisition of its interest in the Bengara-II property the Company issued three promissory notes totaling US$800,000.  As at 7/31/00, the Company had repaid the entire principal and a portion of the interest outstanding on these promissory notes.  As at the Report Date of this Annual Report US$50,000 of accrued interest remained outstanding.

Bengara-II PSC Commitments   As of the Report Date, the Bengara-II PSC is currently in its Contract Year-9 of the 10 Contract Years exploration period of the Bengara-II PSC ending 12/4/07.  Within this period the Bengara-II JV operator, the Company's 60% owned subsidiary, Continental-GeoPetro (Bengara-II) Ltd., is obliged to drill 4 exploration wells and or expend at least US$ 25,000,000 on petroleum exploratory "Work Commitments" within the Bengara-II contract area. The Company is obliged to provide its Bengara-II Joint Venture 60% share of this amount or US$ 13,800,000. A total of approximately $ 5,200,000 has been spent by Continental-GeoPetro (Bengara-II) Ltd. towards the Bengara-II PSC Work Commitment as at the Report Date of this Annual Report.

Consequences of Failure to Fund PSC Commitments  There is no guarantee the Company will be able to raise sufficient funds in a timely fashion to meet its JV share of the funds needed to meet the Work Commitment to BPMigas in its Bengara-II PSC.  Similarly, there is no guarantee that the Company's joint venture partners will be able to raise funds to meet their own JV shares of costs either or will honor their farm out obligations, if any.  The consequences of a failure or election by any JV party or farmee to not meet their respective funding requirements are discussed in the following section. In the event that the either JV is unable to raise sufficient funds to meet its respective accumulated Work Commitment then the JV will have three options.

1.

First, the JV could elect to exercise its rights under the PSC and advise BPMigas that it intends to carry forward the under-expended, accumulated Work Commitment into the next Contract Year.  In so doing the JV would incur the additional expenditure obligation for the subsequent Contract Year as specified in the PSC.  The PSC provides for such carry forward and accumulation of PSC expenditure obligations.  Over and under actual expenditures are also accumulated and apply to the cumulative Work Commitment.

2.

Second, the JV could elect to advise BPMigas of its difficulties in raising finance to meet the Firm Commitment and request from BPMigas the grant of a one-year extension of the current PSC contract year and corresponding accumulated Work Commitment.  Although there is no guarantee that BPMigas would grant such an extension, the request for such is not unusual or uncommon and such requests are commonly granted.  In some cases additional annual extensions past the fourth year have been granted. BPMigas may elect to impose certain conditions on such a grant also.

3.

Third, the JV could elect to default on its Firm Commitment contractual obligation to BPMigas, so notify BPMigas and thereby terminate the PSC and surrender the contract area back to BPMigas.  In such event the JV would lose its sunk costs to date and it is unlikely the JV participants would ever be granted a PSC again.  Although there is no precedent on record of its doing so, BPMigas would be contractually entitled to sue and seek payment of the unexpended portion of any Firm Commitment amount from the JV and its participants. There is no guarantee BPMigas would not take this course of action and the JV and the Company might be found liable.

Joint Venture Contract Commitments

GeoPetro Joint Ventures - The Company is party to a joint venture contract with GeoPetro Resources Company of San Francisco, with respect to the Bengara-II Joint Venture ("JV").  The JV contract provides for the JV participants to share in all costs and benefits of the Bengara-II JV on the basis of a 60% share for the Company and a 40% share for GeoPetro subject to JV "non-consent", "sole-risk" and "default" provisions.  Each JV is obliged to meet its respective PSC work expenditure obligations. Provisions are provided that in the event either the Company or GeoPetro reduce their interest in favor of a third party the third party must become a party to the JV. Individual participants in each JV, including the Company, have certain flexibility with regard to their individual respective funding obligations to the JV as follows:

1.

Each year at the JV annual work program and budget meeting an individual JV participant may elect, but only within fourteen days of annual budget approval deadline, to exercise its JV right of "non-consent" and thereby elect not to participate in a particular operation, activity or budget item project.  If the remaining JV parties agree to proceed without the non consenting party then they may do so provided that the non consenting party will not be cash called for his JV share of the non consent activity and the cost of such shall be spread proportionally over the other JV parties.  Thereafter if the activity should prove successful and the non-consenting party wishes to rejoin the other JV parties in the non-consent activity then the JV rules of "sole risk" as described in the following paragraph shall apply.

2.

The JV agreement provides for actions of less than all the JV participants in accordance with its "sole risk" provisions.  In the event of "non consent" by a JV party or in the event that one or more but not all JV parties invoke "sole risk" and agree to bear the full cost of an activity in the JV PSC such as drilling a well, that other parties are not agreeable to, then the operator shall conduct such sole risk activity at the expense of the sole risk parties. In the event the sole risk activity is successful, such as a successful well, then those non-consenting or non sole risk parties may regain their JV participating interest share of such successful well by paying a penalty to the sole risk taking parties equivalent to 500% of the non-consenting party's cost of the sole risk activity if such party had participated in the first place.

3.

JV participants who fail to fund their share of agreed JV work programs and budgets within 30 days of a cash call shall be held in "default".  If such default is not cured within 60 days the JV agreement provides for the defaulting party to be "squeezed down" and his percentage interest share of the JV is reduced by an amount that bears the same proportion to its percentage interest as the default amount bears to the total JV costs met through that date by the defaulting party.

RISK FACTORS

The nature of the Company's business, oil and gas exploration, places the entire foundation of the enterprise in a high-risk category.  Oil and gas exploration involves a very high degree of risk. There is no assurance that expenditures to be made, as intended by the Company on exploration or "wildcat" drilling of its properties will result in any discoveries of oil and gas in commercially exploitable quantities.  The marketability of any oil and gas actually discovered will be affected by numerous factors beyond the control of the Company including availability of a market for gas, oil and gas market price fluctuations, the proximity and capacity of transport and processing equipment, additional financing and government regulation.  Drilling and production operations involve risks including blowouts, oil spills and fires (each of which could result in damage to or destruction of wells, production facilities or other properties, or injury to persons).  Completion of a well does not assure a profit on the investment or recovery of drilling, completion and operating costs.  In addition, drilling hazards or environmental damage could greatly increase the cost of operations, and various field operating conditions may adversely affect the Company's production from successful wells.  Competition among oil companies for quality properties and limited amounts of drilling capital is intense. Specific risk factors are described below and listed in the priority in which Management feels they pose the most serious risk facing the Company.

Financing Risks - The Company is not generating income or revenue, has generated losses to date and does not presently have sufficient financial resources to undertake by itself all of its planned acquisitions or to fund its contractual commitments.  The Companys ability to continue as a going concern depends upon its ability to obtain financing.  The Company does not currently have the funds required to completely fulfill its joint venture share of the work commitments due under the Bengara-II, Bangkudulis and Yapen PSC's.  There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain such financing on acceptable terms, or at all. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to extend or defer its PSC work commitments in the event sufficient funds are not available.  It is possible that prolonged inability of the Company to fund its joint venture and PSC work commitments could result in a loss of some or all of its interest in the joint venture or the PSC's.  Management is pursuing all available options to raise working capital and funds for its various projects, including possible shares for debt settlements, farm-out of a portion of its interest and commitments on Bengara II and Yapen, and conducting other debt and/or equity offerings.  There can be no assurance that the Management will be successful.

Dependency on PSC Contracts - The Company's principal assets are its Indonesian oil and gas properties.  The PSC contract terms contain requirements regarding quality of service, capital expenditure, legal status of concessionaires, restrictions on transfer and encumbrance of assets and other restrictions.  Any failure to comply with these arrangements could result, under certain circumstances, in the revocation of the PSC, and therefore termination of development, production, drilling and other petroleum operations.  Furthermore, all plant, property and equipment purchased by Continental-GeoPetro (Bengara-II) Ltd. for use pursuant to PSC operations becomes the property of BPMigas.  The cost of such materials may be recovered only if commercial production is established within the PSC area in accordance with provisions of the PSC.

Political Risks - Indonesia  -  The Company's investments in Indonesia are subject to the political risks of foreign investment.  These include potential changes in laws affecting foreign ownership, contract and area tenure, government participation, taxation, royalties, duties, rates of exchange and exchange controls.  Any new Indonesian government policies adverse to the Company could include a change in crude oil pricing policy, expropriation, nationalization, renegotiation or nullification of existing concessions and contracts, taxation policies, foreign exchange and repatriation restrictions, international monetary fluctuations and currency controls.  Direct and indirect effects of the decline in value of the Rupiah have included high levels of domestic inflation, reductions in employment, high interest rates, unavailability of traditional sources of financing, and an overall contraction in production and income levels.  These conditions have affected and may continue to affect the operating environment in Indonesia, as well as the cost and availability of financing for natural resources development efforts.  Impediments to a return to more normal economic conditions in Indonesia, or shocks to the system that exacerbate current adverse economic conditions, could originate from various sources, including further social unrest, terrorism, Islamic fundamentalism, secessionist provinces, lack of government effectiveness due to political uncertainty, or policy initiatives adverse to foreign investment. Recent changes to Indonesian petroleum legislation could impact the Company's concessions or operations on those concessions as implementation guidelines related to the new legislation are released by the government. Increasing calls for economic autonomy among many Indonesian provinces may impact the Company's Indonesian concessions or operations thereon as local provinces and regencies receive more control over their natural resources from the central government.

Oil and Gas Exploration Risks - Oil and gas exploration involves a high degree of risk.  There is no assurance that expenditures to be made by the Company on its oil and gas properties will result in any discoveries of oil and gas in commercial quantities.  The Company intends to participate in the drilling of both exploratory and development wells.  Exploratory wells have a much greater dry hole risk than do development wells.  The marketability of any oil and gas, which may be acquired or discovered, will be affected by numerous factors beyond the control of the Company.  These factors include market fluctuations, the proximity and capacity of oil and gas pipelines and processing equipment, rig availability and government regulation, including regulations relating to prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, allowable production and environmental protection.

Operating Risks - Production operations involve risks normally incident to such activities, including blowouts, oil spills and fires (each of which could result in damage to or destruction of wells, production facilities or other properties, or injury to persons).  Completion of a well does not assure a profit on the investment or recovery of drilling, completion and operating costs.  In addition, drilling hazards or environmental damage could greatly increase the cost of operations, and various field operating conditions may adversely affect the Company's production from successful wells.  These conditions include delays in obtaining governmental approvals or consents, shut-in of connected wells resulting from extreme weather conditions, insufficient storage or transportation capacity.  While close well supervision and effective maintenance operations can contribute to maximizing production rates over time, production delays and declines from normal field operating conditions cannot be eliminated and can be expected to adversely affect operating revenues from time to time in varying degrees.

Risk of Future Changes in Regulatory Environment - The Indonesian Government has exercised and continues to exercise significant influence over many aspects of the Indonesian economy, including the oil and gas industry, Indonesian business generally, investments, taxes and the capital markets.  The Bengara-II property and operations there upon, are governed by Indonesian laws and regulations relating to the development, production, marketing, pricing, transportation and storage of crude oil, taxation and environmental and safety matters.  Any new government policies adverse to the Company could include a change in crude oil pricing policy, expropriation, nationalization, renegotiation or nullification of existing concessions and PSC contracts, taxation policies, foreign exchange and repatriation restrictions, international monetary fluctuations and currency controls.  Such changes and developments could have a material adverse effect on private sector entities in general and on the Company in particular.

Management - The Company depends entirely upon its management to identify, acquire, finance and operate a portfolio of oil and gas exploration properties through which the Company can grow and achieve oil production and a steady income.  The Company's management is comprised of a small number of key employees with technical skills and expertise in the business, the loss of any one of whom could harm the Company.  The Company does not currently maintain "key-man" insurance for any of its employees.

Directors Conflicts of Interest - Certain directors of the Company are also directors, officers or shareholders of other companies that are similarly engaged in the business of acquiring, developing and exploiting natural resource properties.  Such associations may give rise to conflicts of interest from time to time.  The directors of the Company are required by law to act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company and to disclose any interest, which they may have in any project or opportunity of the Company.  If a conflict of interest arises at a meeting of the board of directors, any director in a conflict will disclose his interest and abstain from voting on such matter.  In determining whether or not the Company will participate in any project or opportunity, the director will primarily consider the degree of risk to which the Company may be exposed and its financial position at that time.  Persons considering the purchase of Company securities must appreciate that they will be required to rely on the judgment of these individuals in resolving such conflicts as they may arise.

Currency/Exchange Rate Risk - All of the Companys material financial obligations and commitments are denominated in US Dollars while its primary source of financing is the issuance of equity securities in Canada for Canadian currency. A substantial amount of the Company's business transactions will be denominated in Indonesian Rupiah due to operations on its principal properties. The Companys financial statements are kept in US Dollars. The Indonesian currency, the Rupiah, has decreased substantially in terms of the US Dollar during the past few years. See historical foreign currency exchange rates set forth in Table-1 above in the section "ITEM-#1: Currency and Exchange Rates". Fluctuations in the Rupiah may have a substantial effect on the Companys financial statements due to related gains or losses due to the rate changes. Until such time as it achieves revenue from petroleum production the Company does not hedge and engage in other strategies to protect itself from adverse fluctuations in the respective exchange rate.  Significant variations in exchange rates could have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Company to meet its obligations.

MATERIAL TRENDS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The Company's securities are highly speculative and trade in a specialized market of investors willing to take a large degree of risk for a possibly large reward.  World oil prices have risen to relatively high levels recently, largely on fears of supply disruption with possible terrorist acts and appears to have settled in the US$ 50 per barrel range. Given the uncertainty, world oil prices are likely to fluctuate and be volatile, possibly over a wide range,  with developments as to the resolution of the conflicts with Iraq and international terrorism proceed.

The rebounding of the previously vigorous Asian economies is clearly evident and expected to regain much of its forward momentum this year and next.  This rebound offers a triple benefit for the Company as increasing Asian demand buoys world oil prices, international funds and emerging markets funds refocus interest and investment on the region and larger oil companies refocus exploration and development activities in the Asian geographic region.

Resource exploration is a speculative venture involving substantial risk.  There is no certainty that the expenditures to be made by the Company in the acquisition of interests in properties under its various agreements will result in discoveries of commercial quantities of oil/gas.  Further, the marketability of oil/gas that may be acquired or discovered by the Company will be affected by numerous factors beyond the control of the Company.  These factors include market price fluctuations, the proximity and capacity of oil/gas markets, availability of needed equipment, transportation costs and government regulations.  The exact effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted, the combination of these factors may result in the Company not receiving an adequate return on capital.

As of the date of this Annual Report, the Company has insufficient financial resources to undertake all of its planned exploration and development programs.  The future development of the properties of the Company shall depend upon the ability of the Company to finance through the joint venturing of projects, debt financing, equity financing or other means.   The Company intends to raise required additional funds by selling equity or debt securities, and/or by selling or joint venturing its properties until it develops a cash flow from operations.   While the Company has been successful in raising the necessary funds in the past, there can be no assurance it can continue to do so.  If such funds cannot be secured, the Company will be forced to curtail its exploration/development efforts to a level for which funding can be secured or relinquish certain of its properties or allow its interest to be diluted pursuant to the terms of the respective joint venture agreements.  There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining such financing. This situation could be exacerbated by additional and continuing acts of international terrorism and a possible war in Iraq; or unforeseen political disturbances in Indonesia.

The Company does not know of any other trends or uncertainties that are reasonably likely to result in, material changes to its liquidity at present or in the foreseeable future. Material increases or decreases in the Company's liquidity are substantially determined by the success or failure of its exploration programs or the acquisition of new or disposition of existing projects.



OUTLOOK

The Company is an oil and gas exploration company engaged in the assembly of a portfolio of high potential oil and gas exploration prospects.  At present the Company does not have any producing properties and has no revenue. The Company is focusing its efforts in Indonesia where large tracts of acreage can be accumulated, there is a long and positive history of oil exploration success, geological conditions are favorable for hydrocarbon accumulation and the Company has long experience..  Oil exploration involves a high degree of technical and commercial risk and is characterized by a continuous need for fresh capital.  The Company will try to minimize and spread this risk by joint-venturing in its oil exploration projects with other companies and participating in properties exhibiting a range of risk profiles to reduce its cost exposure and enhance the possibility of wildcat success while restricting its focus to Indonesia where its limited manpower and technical resources are already deployed. For calendar year 2006, the Company's management has set two important strategic objectives, which it hopes to accomplish during the year.  These goals, in order of priority, are:

1.

Drilling four exploratory commitment wells on the Bengara-II Property.  Funds to complete this objective shall be raised by private placement as first preference or by farm-out as second preference, or some combination thereof.

2.

Pursuing acquisition of opportunities for new oil and gas properties.

MANAGEMENTS RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS





The preparation and presentation of the Companys financial statements is the responsibility of management.  The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles and necessarily include estimates which are based on managements best judgements.  Information contained elsewhere in the Annual Report is consistent, where applicable, with that contained in the financial statements.



Management is also responsible for installing and maintaining a system of internal controls to provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded and that reliable financial information is produced for preparation of financial statements.



Staley, Okada & Partners, a firm of chartered accountants, were appointed by the shareholders as external auditors to conduct an independent examination and express their opinion on the financial statements.  The Auditors Report outlines the auditors opinion and the scope of their examination.



The Board of Directors is responsible for ensuring that management fulfills its responsibilities for financial reporting and internal control.  The Board exercises these responsibilities with the assistance of the Audit Committee of the Board.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm





To the Shareholders of Continental Energy Corporation:



We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Continental Energy Corporation (the Company) as at 31 July 2005 and 2004 and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' deficiency, and cash flows for each of the years ended 31 July 2005, 2004 and 2003.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.



We conducted our audits in accordance with the Canadian generally accepted audit standards and with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.



In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at 31 July 2005 and 2004 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years ended 31 July 2005, 2004 and 2003, in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.

Comments By Auditors For U.S. Reader On Canada - U.S. Reporting Conflict





In the United States, reporting standards for auditors require the addition of an explanatory paragraph (following the opinion paragraph) when financial statements are affected by future events, the outcome of which is indeterminable.  As discussed in Note 1, the Companys continued existence as a going concern is dependent upon the future economic success of its exploration and development activities, the Companys ability to continue to secure adequate financing and the Company achieving a positive cash flow and profitable operations.  Our report to the shareholders dated 23 November 2005, is expressed in accordance with Canadian reporting standards, which do not require a reference to such going concern considerations in the auditors report when the situation is adequately disclosed in the financial statements.

1.

Continued Operations



These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern which assumes that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations.



Adverse conditions and events cast substantial doubt upon the validity of this assumption.  The Company has incurred significant operating losses over the past several fiscal years and has a working capital deficiency.  In addition, as at the year-end, the Company had insufficient funds to complete the property expenditures required on its Indonesian properties.  These facts create uncertainty surrounding the timing and capacity of the Company to meet its financial obligations.



The Companys ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to raise additional capital by issuance of treasury shares or debt, receive significant disposal or farm-out proceeds for its Indonesian oil and gas properties or achieve profitable operations (Note 4 and 13).



If the going concern assumption were not appropriate for these consolidated financial statements, then adjustments would be necessary in the carrying values of assets and liabilities, the reported revenues and expenses, and the balance sheet classifications used.

|---------------------------------- | 
|2.
Significant Accounting Policies | 



a)

Consolidation



These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its three subsidiaries as follows:



-

Continental-GeoPetro (Bengara-II) Ltd. (Bengara) (Note 4a)  60% owned

-

Continental-GeoPetro (Yapen) Ltd. (Yapen) (Note 4a)  60% owned

-

GAT Bangkudulis Petroleum Company Ltd. (GATB) (Note 4b)- 70% owned, sold 100% of the Companys interest effective on 31 July 2005



b)

Amortization



The Company provides for amortization on its equipment as follows:



-

Furniture and field survey equipment - 50% declining balance basis with a 5 year useful life

-

Computer equipment - 50% declining balance basis with a 5 year useful life

-

Automobile under capital lease - straight line over 31 months



c)

Oil and Gas Properties



The Company follows the full cost method of accounting for oil and gas operations, as prescribed by the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants, whereby all costs of exploring for and developing oil and gas reserves are capitalized and accumulated in cost centres established on a country-by-country basis.  Such costs include land acquisition costs, geological and geophysical expenses, carrying charges on non-producing properties, costs of drilling both productive and non-productive wells, interest costs on significant investments in unproved properties and major development projects and overhead charges directly related to acquisition, exploration and development activities, less any government incentives relating thereto.



Upon establishing production, the costs related to each cost centre from which there is production, together with the costs of production equipment, will be depleted and amortized on the unit-of-production method based on the estimated gross proved reserves of each country.  Oil and natural gas reserves and production will be converted into equivalent units based upon estimated relative energy content.  Costs of acquiring and evaluating significant unproved properties will be initially excluded from depletion calculations.  These unevaluated properties are assessed periodically to ascertain whether impairment in value has occurred.  When proved reserves are assigned or the value of the property is considered to be impaired, the cost of the property or the amount of the impairment will be added to costs subject to depletion.



The capitalized costs less accumulated amortization in each cost centre from which there is production will be limited to an amount equal to the estimated future net revenue from proved reserves (based on estimated future prices and costs at the balance sheet date) plus the cost (net of impairments) of unproved properties ("ceiling test").  The total capitalized costs less accumulated depletion and amortization and deferred taxes of all cost centres will be further limited to an amount equal to the estimated future net revenue from proved reserves plus the cost (net of impairments) of all unproved properties less estimated future general and administrative expenses, future financing costs and taxes.



The costs (including exploratory dry holes) related to cost centres from which there has been no commercial production are not subject to depletion until commercial production commences.  The capitalized costs are assessed annually to determine whether it is likely such costs will be recovered in the future.  Costs unlikely to be recovered in the future are written off.



Proceeds from the farm-out of oil and gas properties are applied against capitalized costs, with no gain or loss recognized, unless such a sale would significantly alter the rate of depletion and amortization.



d)

Asset Retirement Obligations



Effective 1 August 2004, the Company adopted the recommendations of CICA Handbook Section 3110, Asset Retirement Obligations. This new section requires recognition of a legal liability for obligations relating to retirement of property, plant, and equipment, and arising from the acquisition, construction, development, or normal operation of those assets. Such asset retirement costs must be recognized at fair value, when a reasonable estimate of fair value can be estimated, in the period in which it is incurred, added to the carrying value of the asset, and amortized into income on a systematic basis over its useful life.



There is no material impact on the consolidated financial statements resulting from the adoption of Section 3110 either in the current or prior periods presented.



e)

Income Taxes



Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method.  Future taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of temporary differences by applying enacted or substantively enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax basis of existing assets and liabilities.  The effect on deferred taxes for a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the date of enactment or substantive enactment.  In addition, the method requires the recognition of future tax benefits to the extent that realization of such benefits is more likely than not.



f)

Share Capital



Proceeds from the exercise of stock options, warrants and escrow shares are recorded as share capital in the amount for which the option, warrant or escrow share enabled the holder to purchase a share in the Company.



Share capital issued for non-monetary consideration is recorded at an amount based on estimated fair market value reduced by an estimate of transaction costs normally incurred when issuing shares for cash, as determined by the board of directors of the Company.



g)

Stock-Based Compensation



The Company has adopted the recommendations of CICA Handbook Section 3870, Stock-based compensation and other stock-based payments.  This Section establishes standards for the recognition, measurement and disclosure of stock-based compensation and other stock-based payments made in exchange for goods and services.



This standard requires that all stock-based awards made to employees and non-employees be measured and recognized using a fair value based method.  In fiscal years prior to the year ended 31 July 2004, stock-based compensation expense was only recognized when stock-based compensation awards were made to non-employees, while pro forma disclosure was acceptable for awards made to employees.



h)

Income (Loss) per Share



Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  The computation of diluted earnings per share assumes the conversion, exercise or contingent issuance of securities only when such conversion, exercise or issuance would have a dilutive effect on earnings per share.  The dilutive effect of convertible securities is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the if converted method.  The dilutive effect of outstanding options and warrants and their equivalents is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method.



i)

Conversion of Foreign Currencies



For its 31 July 2002 year-end reporting, and all subsequent reporting, the Company adopted the U.S. currency as its reporting currency and has prepared its financial statements on that basis.



The accounts of the Company are now prepared in U.S. funds and the Companys Canadian operations are translated into U.S. dollars under the temporal method as follows:



-

Monetary assets and liabilities at year-end rates;

-

All other assets and liabilities at historical rates;

-

Income and expense items and exploration and development costs translated in a manner that produces substantially the same result as would have resulted had these items been translated on the date they occurred;

-

Exchange gains and losses arising from these transactions are treated as period items.



j)

Basis of Segmented Disclosure



The Companys only business activity is the exploration and development of oil and gas prospects.  During the year, the Company had administration activity in North America and exploration and development activity in Indonesia.  The segmented information is identified by geographic location of the Companys exploration and development activities.



k)

Managements Estimates



The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Canadian 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 dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.



l)

Change in Accounting Policy



The Accounting Standards Board (AcSB) issued Accounting Guideline AcG 15 Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, to harmonize the Guideline with the equivalent FASB Interpretation No. 46R, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.  The Guideline provides criteria for identifying VIEs and further criteria for determining what entity, if any, should consolidate them.  The Guideline is effective for annual and interim periods beginning on or after 1 November 2004, and upon adoption, will not materially impact the Companys results of operations and financial position.  The Guideline is effective 1 May 2005 for the Company.

|-------------------------------------- | 
|3.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | 



The Company's financial instruments consist of cash, amounts due from / to related parties, goods and service tax recoverable, accounts receivable, accounts payable, promissory notes payableand capital lease obligation.  The carrying value of these financial instruments approximates their fair value due to their short-term maturity or capacity of prompt liquidation.  Except as noted below, it is managements opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from the financial instruments.



The Company is exposed to currency risk in that material accounts payable are denominated in both Canadian dollars and Indonesian Rupiah.  The US dollar value of these payables will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange.

Resource Property Costs | 



a)

Bengara and Yapen



By separate share purchase and transfer agreements (SPTA) with effective dates of 1 August 1998 and subsequent amendments between 30 September 1998 and 19 January 2000, the Company purchased 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Bengara and Yapen, two British Virgin Island companies with oil and gas exploration activities in Indonesia.  The Company accounted for the acquisition of the subsidiaries using the purchase method of accounting for a business combination. Included in the Companys statement of loss are the results of operations of both subsidiaries from the date of acquisition forward.



Bengara



Bengara was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands on 9 September 1997 and on 4 December 1997 entered into a production-sharing contract (PSC) with Badan Pelaksanaan Minyak dan Gas Bumi (BPMIGAS), the Oil & Gas Governing Authority (formerly, PT Pertamina (Pesero) (Pertamina), the Indonesian governments state owned oil and gas enterprise).  The Bengara-II PSC grants Bengara the exclusive authority, for a term of 30 years, to conduct petroleum exploration, development and production operations in an area of approximately 3,650 square kilometers known as the Bengara II Block area, East Kalimantan.



Pursuant to the Bengara-II PSC as currently amended, Bengara undertook a cumulative expenditure commitment through the initial ten year PSC exploration period ending 4 December 2007 which totals $25,000,000, of which approximately $5,200,000 has been spent.



The Companys activities within the Bengara-II PSC contract area are currently in the exploration stage and no crude oil or natural gas revenues are being produced within the contract area. The Company considers the Bengara-II PSC contract area to be a highly promising oil, gas and condensate exploration area but does not assign any oil or gas reserves to the Bengara-II PSC. As at the end of fiscal year 31 July 2005 and as of the record date of these financial statements Bengara owns an undivided 100% controlling interest in the Bengara-II PSC.



Due to exploration risk and the overall uncertainty of drilling results on exploration properties the Company determined that the recoverability of the costs associated with Bengara to which Bengara is entitled under the PSC upon commencement of oil or gas production is uncertain, consequently the Company wrote down the book value of the Bengara-II PSC property to $1.  The Company continues to evaluate expenditures for impairment as incurred and writes off impaired costs in the period when incurred.



Yapen



Yapen was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands on 8 January 1998 for the purpose of holding the Yapen PSC with BPMIGAS (formerly Pertamina), which was signed on 27 September 1999.  Prior to its farm-out agreement with Medco (Note 4aii), Yapen owned a 100% controlling interest in the PSC. However, as a result of the Medco farm-out agreement and Medco's subsequent farm out to Maraja (Note 4aiv), Yapen retained only a 10% interest in the Yapen PSC.  On 15 August 2005, Yapen reacquired a 75% interest (Note 4aiv).  Subsequent to year-end the company sold its interest in the Yapen subsidiary (Note 4v and13).



Due to exploration risk and the overall uncertainty of drilling results on exploration properties the Company determined that the recoverability of the costs associated with Yapen to which Yapen is entitled under the PSC upon commencement of oil or gas production is uncertain, consequently the Company wrote down the book value of the Yapen PSC property to $1.  The Company continues to evaluate expenditures for impairment as incurred and writes off impaired costs in the period when incurred.



Bengara and Yapen Farm-Outs



Since entering into the Bengara and Yapen PCSs, the Company or the Bengara and Yapen subsidiaries have entered into several farm-out agreements with various joint venture partners.  As part of the agreements, the joint venture partners are required to pay their share of incurred costs such that the interests in the properties be retained.  The balance paid to the company has been shown as a reduction of the costs incurred and is called joint venture reimbursement of costs on the schedule of resource property costs.



i)

GeoPetro Resources Company (GeoPetro) - Yapen and Bengara Farm-Outs



The Company and GeoPetro of San Francisco, California entered into a Farm-Out Agreement (FOA) dated 1 January 2000 pursuant to which the Company farmed out 40% of its 100% interest in each of the Yapen and Bengara subsidiaries and their respective underlying properties. Joint Operating Agreements ("JOA") also dated 1 January 2000 between GeoPetro and the Company provide for joint venture operations of the Yapen and Bengara subsidiaries. Under these JOA the Company is obliged to contribute its 60% share of Yapen and Bengara PSC work commitments and expenditures and is entitled to take a 60% share of all revenues realized by the subsidiaries from the Yapen and Bengara PSCs.



As at the end of fiscal year 31 July 2005 the GeoPetro FOA and JOA were in full force and effect, but as of the record date of these financial statements only the Bengara JOA and the provisions of the GeoPetro FOA pertaining to Bengara remain in full force and effect.



In a letter agreement dated 27 October 2005 made subsequent to fiscal year ended 31 July 2005 the Company and GeoPetro agreed to terminate the provisions of the GeoPetro FOA pertaining to Yapen and to terminate in its entirety the Yapen JOA. These terminations coincided with the sale by the Company and by GeoPetro of all of their respective shares of Yapen to Nations (Note 4av and 13).  As of 27 October 2005 the Company no longer has any interest in, entitlements to or obligations in respect of the Yapen PSC.



ii)

Medco International Ventures Ltd. (Medco) - Yapen Farm-Out



On 5 November 2002, the Companys subsidiary, Yapen, completed an agreement to farm out 90% of its PSC to Medco.  As part of the agreement Medco paid approximately $572,000 of Yapens current liabilities and agreed to fund 100% of the future property development costs up to commercial production.  Upon commercial production, Yapen would be required to fund 10% of the costs.  As a result of this Medco farm-out agreement, Yapen assigned 90% of the Yapen PSC to Medco and Yapen retained a 10% interest in the Yapen PSC. Medco has subsequently farmed out a 75% share of its Yapen PSC to Maraja (Note 4aiv) but Yapen's 10% interest was unaffected.

China Wisdom International (HK) Ltd. (China Wisdom) - Bengara Farm-Out



During the 31 July 2003 fiscal year, the Company and its farm out partner, GeoPetro, entered into an agreement with an unrelated partner, China Wisdom, to dispose of 40% of the Bengara subsidiary.  To earn its 40% interest, China Wisdom was to:



pay $720,000 and drill five exploration wells no later than 31 December 2004, at least three of which were to be drilled in 2003, with the first of the three completed by 30 September 2003.  No drilling was commenced by China Wisdom.



During the prior fiscal year, to fulfill its obligation under the farm-out agreement, 40% of the issued and outstanding shares of Bengara had been transferred to China Wisdom.



On 4 December 2003, the Company and GeoPetro gave China Wisdom notice that the agreement is to be terminated effective 1 December 2003 and requested that the Bengara shares previously transferred to China Wisdom be returned to the Company and GeoPetro.



The Company together with GeoPetro were claimants in a civil suit brought against China Wisdom International (HK) Ltd. pertaining to China Wisdoms default and failure to fulfill its drilling obligations under the FOA. In a 28 July 2004 ruling handed down by the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court in the High Court of Justice British Virgin Islands (BVI) the court declared the Farm-Out Agreement dated 3 March 2003 between the Claimants and China Wisdom as terminated.



The court ordered China Wisdom to re-transfer 20,000 common shares of Bengara to the Company (12,000 shares) and GeoPetro (8,000 shares) by 31 August 2004.



China Wisdom defied the court order and in accordance with the courts instructions the BVI Companies Registrar signed documents dated effective 1 October 2004 returning the said 12,000 fully paid Bengara shares to the Company restoring the Company's Bengara ownership to a total of 30,000 shares representing a 60% stake.



As at 31 July 2004, $ 719,782 had been received for payment towards the Farm-In with 60% ($551,869) and 40% ($287,913) of the proceeds being allocated to the Company and GeoPetro respectively.



iv)

Maraja Yapen Energy Ltd. (Maraja) - Yapen Farm-Out from Medco



Pursuant to a farm-out agreement with Maraja dated 28 June 2005, Medco farmed out a 75% share of its Yapen PSC interest to Maraja and Yapen's 10% interest in the Yapen PSC was unaffected. Maraja failed to perform its obligations to Medco under the said farm out agreement resulting in Maraja's breach of contract and consequently in accordance with the provisions of the farm-out agreement Maraja's 75% interest in the Yapen PSC was reassigned to Yapen in a deed of assignment dated 15 August 2005 subsequent to fiscal year end 31 July 2005. The Company realized no proceeds from the reassignment.



v)

Nations Energy Company Ltd. (Nations) Yapen Sale



Subsequent to the end of the fiscal year 31 July 2005 the Company and GeoPetro sold, pursuant to a share sale and purchase agreement dated 26 October 2005, all 100% of their respective shares of Yapen to Nations, an unrelated buyer, for $6,000,000 cash. The Company was paid and received its 60% share of the Yapen sale proceeds or $3,600,000 at closing.



b)

GAT Bangkudulis Petroleum Company Ltd. (GATB)



On 31 August 2001, the Company completed the acquisition of 70% of the issued and outstanding shares in GATB from Dimensions West Energy Inc. (DWE).



GATB is party to a Technical Assistance Contract (TAC) dated 7 October 1996 with Pertamina, the Indonesian governments state owned oil and gas enterprise.  The TAC grants GATB exclusive authority to conduct petroleum development and production in an area of approximately 18.63 square kilometers on the Indonesian island of Kalimantan.    Prior to fiscal year end 31 July 2005, Pertamina gave notice to GATB in a letter dated July 2005 that it intended to terminate the Bangkudulis TAC together with several other Indonesian TAC's not yet in oil production. The TAC type contract is being discontinued in Indonesia.



The termination of the TAC eliminates the only material asset of GATB and consequently the Company sold its 70% share holding in GATB to an unrelated local investor for a nominal price of $1,000 effective 31 July 2005 with the proceeds being received by the Company subsequent to the year end (received). All of GATB's liabilities and fixed assets were sold with the shares. As of fiscal year end 31 July 2005 and also as of the date of these financial statements the Company no longer has any interest in, entitlements to or obligations in respect of GATB or the TAC.



The Company recognized its portion of the proceeds, being $1,000, as income.  The net effect of this transaction was a gain of $4,059,868, calculated as follows based on the net book values recorded in GATB as at 31 July 2005:



| | Assets                                 | $ | 31,823     
| | -------------------------------------- | - | -----------
| | Current Liabilities                    |   | (682,979)  
| | Contingent and Conditional Liabilities |   | (3,407,712)
| | Negative net book value of GATB        |   | 4,058,868  
| | Proceeds on disposition                |   | 1,000      
| | Gain on disposition of GATB            | $ | 4,059,868  



The purchaser acquired the Companys interest in GATB for $1,000 and assumed all the liabilities and obligations of GATB.  Due to all of the fixed assets of the subsidiary having been written down to $1 prior to the disposal, the GATB subsidiary had a consolidated negative net book value of $4,058,868.  Consequently, the disposal resulted in a gain on disposition.

f)

Stock-Based Compensation



The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:



| | Expected dividend yield         |  | 0.00%            
| | ------------------------------- |  | -----------------
| | Expected stock price volatility |  | 117% - 140%      
| | Risk-free interest rate         |  | 2.90% - 3.15%    
| | Expected life of options        |  | 1.04  2.08 years



Option pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the estimate of the share price volatility.  Changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, and therefore the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the Companys stock options.

Commitments and Contractual Obligations | 



a)

During the prior year, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with the Companys Vice-President and Chief Operating Officer (VP-CIO) for management services at $5,000 per month for a period of 18 months expiring 31 July 2005.  During the current year, the Company amended the contract to include the capacity of Chief Financial Officer and by increasing the monthly fee to $10,000 and extending the contract expiry date to 31 December 2006.



b)

During the 2002 fiscal year, the Company entered into a financing arrangement and related agreements with a private "Investor" providing "Equity Line of Credit" to the Company in the amount of up to $20,000,000 over the next three years.  The Company issued 1,000,000 of its common shares to the principals of the Investor soon after signing the financing arrangement in full expectation of performance of promises made by the Investor under the agreements.  A dispute between the Company and the Investor has arisen over a claim by the Investor for payment of a second tranche of Company common shares which the original agreements contemplated, which agreements were contingent upon certain performance by the Investor. The Company does not believe that the issue of any more shares to the Investor is appropriate given the fact that all parties agree original Equity Line of Credit agreements provide for a financing arrangement that is no longer available.  Consequently, on January 13, 2004, the Company filed a civil complaint in United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Investor seeking an order (i) declaring that the Equity Line of Credit Agreement is void and unenforceable, and that accordingly the Company is not required to deliver any additional shares of its common stock to the Investor, (ii) for the return of shares of its common stock the Company has already delivered to the Investor, and (iii) for damages caused by the Investors failure to return such shares to the Company and to perform certain services for the Company.  The Investor has filed a counter claim suit against the Company for the payment of the second tranche of shares, worth the equivalent of $250,000.  As at the report date of these financial statements the outcome of this suit is not determinable and no provision has been made in these financial statements as a result of the counter claim.



c)

As of the date of these financial statements the Company is committed to fund its 60% share of the Bengara-II PSC work commitment undertaken by the Bengara subsidiary. The accumulated work commitment totals $25,000,000 or the drilling 4 exploration wells before 4 December 2007. To date Bengara has met a total of approximately $5,200,000 of this commitment.

Subsequent Events | 



Subsequent to fiscal year end 31 July 2005 the Company sold its interest in its Yapen subsidiary (Note 4av) and consequently as of the date of these financial statements the Company no longer has any interest in, entitlements to or obligations in respect of Yapen or the Yapen PSC.  The Company received its 60% share of the Yapen sale proceeds, $3,600,000 at closing.

Differences between Canadian and United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP)



These consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Canada. Except as set out below, these financial statements comply, in all material aspects, with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and the rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange Commission.



a)

Under United States GAAP, stock-based compensation expense is recorded for non-employees using a fair-value based method of accounting. Until 1 August 2002, the Company was not required, under Canadian GAAP, to record the effect of non-employee stock-based compensation expense.  Commencing on 1 August 2002, Canadian GAAP treatment is consistent with United States GAAP.  The effect of this difference is noted below.



b)

Under United States GAAP, stock-based compensation expense is recorded when shares held in escrow become eligible for release and is based upon the number of shares released and the market value of the shares at that time.  Under Canadian GAAP, no value is attributed to such shares released and no compensation expense is recorded.  The effect of this difference is noted below.



c)

Under United States GAAP, the ceiling test is calculated by discounting future net revenues by 10%.  Under Canadian GAAP, the ceiling tests are calculated without application of a discount factor.  There is no difference between Canadian and United States GAAP at this time with respect to the application of the ceiling test.



d)

The impact of the above differences between Canadian and United States GAAP on the statement of shareholders equity is as follows:

e)

Disclosure Reconciliation



A reconciliation of certain of the disclosure items from Canadian presentation to United States presentation is as follows:



Prior to the year ended 31 July 2003, under Canadian GAAP, the Company was not required to disclose the pro forma effect of employee stock option-based compensation in the notes to the financial statements.  Under United States GAAP, SFAS No. 123 establishes financial accounting and reporting standards for stock-based employee compensation plans.  The statement encourages all entities to adopt a fair value based method of accounting, but allows an entity to continue to measure compensation cost for those plans using the intrinsic value based method of accounting prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.  The company adopted only the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123.



Commencing on 1 August 2003, the Company adopted the new recommendations of CICA Handbook Section 3870, which mirrors, in all material respects, SFAS No. 123, therefore the Canadian GAAP treatment is now consistent with United States GAAP.



f)

Recently Adopted United States Accounting Standards



In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, which replaces APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes, and supersedes FASB Statement No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements  an amendment of APB Opinion No. 28. SFAS 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods financial statements of changes in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change.  When it is impracticable to determine the period-specific effects of an accounting change on one or more individual prior periods presented, SFAS 154 requires that the new accounting principle be applied to the balances of assets and liabilities as of the beginning of the earliest period for which retrospective application is practicable and that a corresponding adjustment be made to the opening balance of retained earnings for that period rather than being reported in an income statement.  When it is impracticable to determine the cumulative effect of applying a change in accounting principle to all prior periods, SFAS 154 requires that the new accounting principle be applied as if it were adopted prospectively from the earliest date practicable.  SFAS 154 shall be effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005.  The Company does not expect the provisions of SFAS 154 will have a significant impact on its results of operations.



In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 153, Exchanges of Non-Monetary Assets, an amendment of APB 29.  This statement amends APB 29, which is based on the principle that exchanges of non-monetary assets should be measured at the fair value of the assets exchanged with certain exceptions.  SFAS 153 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. A non-monetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange.  This statement is effective for non-monetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning on or after June 15, 2005.  The Company does not expect the provisions of SFAS 153 will have a significant impact on its results of operations.



In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, Share Based Payment.  SFAS 123R is a revision of SFAS No. 123 Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and its related implementation guidance. SFAS 123R establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entitys equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments. SFAS 123R focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. SFAS 123R does not change the accounting guidance for share-based payment transactions with parties other than employees provided in SFAS 123 as originally issued and Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with

Selling, Goods or Services.  SFAS 123R does not address the accounting for employee share ownership plans, which are subject to AICPA Statement of Position 93-6, Employers Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans.



SFAS 123R requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award  the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). SFAS 123R requires that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements. That cost will be measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. The scope of SFAS 123R includes a wide range of share-based compensation arrangements including share options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans. Public entities (other than those filing as small business issuers) will be required to apply SFAS 123R as of the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005. Public entities that file as small business issuers will be required to apply SFAS 123R in the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after December 15, 2005. For non-public entities, SFAS 123R must be applied as of the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2005. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Companys results of operations or financial position.



In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No.151, Inventory Costs, an amendment of ARB No.43, Chapter 4.This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005, therefore it will become effective for the Company beginning October 1, 2006.  This standard clarifies that abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and wasted material should be expensed as incurred and not included in overhead.  In addition, this standard requires that the allocation of fixed production overhead costs to inventory be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities.  The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Companys results of operations or financial position.
