      on that date as reported by the Over the Counter Bulletin Board). For purposes
      of this computation, it has been assumed that the shares beneficially held
      by
      directors and officers of registrant were “held by affiliates”; this assumption
      is not to be deemed to be an admission by such persons that they are affiliates
      of registrant.

**PART
      I**




**ITEM
      1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS**





**Background**




Ameriwest
      Energy Corp. (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our”)  was
      incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on January 3, 2001 under
      the
      name Henley Ventures Inc. for the purpose of acquiring and developing mineral
      properties. We acquired certain rights to mineral claims on the Red Bird,
      Pleasant Surprise and Red Bird Protection in British Columbia, Canada. The
      Red
      Bird is a large claim block which covers a number of old gold and copper
      showings, which were first discovered in the early part of the last century.
      In
      July 2006, we commenced Phase I of the exploration program to undertake further
      geochemical sampling by way of the establishment of a grid to obtain soil and
      rock samples for assaying as an initial stage. To date, no minerals have yet
      been discovered on the properties and certain of our rights to such mineral
      claims expired in September 2007.




In
      May
      2007, we decided to concentrate significant efforts on the exploration,
      development and production of oil and gas. To facilitate this shift in business
      focus, on June 12, 2007 Henley Ventures, Inc., a Nevada corporation merged
      with
      and into its wholly owned subsidiary, South Sea Energy Corp. resulting in South
      Sea Energy Corp. being the surviving corporation. On June 15, 2007, we signed
      a
      letter of intent with CBM Asia Development Corp., (“CBM”) as amended, to acquire
      40% interest in a participation agreement of a coal bed methane project in
      East
      Kalimatan, Indonesia, for $100,000. The letter of intent also provided that
      our
      newly appointed directors and officers receive 26,000,000 shares of our common
      stock. The terms of the acquisition were subject to the parties closing the
      transaction no later than July 7, 2007. On August 17, 2007, we entered into
      a
      memorandum of understanding for the termination of the negotiations with CBM.
      Pursuant to the memorandum of understanding, the 26,000,000 shares issued to
      our
      now former officers and directors were returned to treasury for cancellation
      and
      we relinquished any rights we may have had to the underlying project. At
      December 31, 2007, related acquisition costs totaling $209,230 were written
      off.




On
      August
      24, 2007, we entered into an assignment agreement with Pin Petroleum Partners
      Ltd. (“Pin”), whereby Pin agreed to assign its rights and obligation under a
      certain letter of intent with Muddy Minerals, LLC (“Muddy”), to a property
      referred to as the South Glenrock “C” oil field, located in Converse County,
      Wyoming for the aggregate sum of $550,000. Under the terms of the letter of
      intent we assumed, we agreed to acquire a 99.5% working interest in the oil
      field, together with a 78% net royalty interest in the oil field for the
      aggregate sum of $5,000,000. In concert with our intention to focus our business
      endeavors on the U.S. oil and gas sector, on August 28, 2007, we merged with
      and
      into our wholly owned subsidiary, Ameriwest Energy Corp. (“Ameriwest”) resulting
      in Ameriwest Energy Corp. being the surviving corporation.




On
      November 6, 2007, we signed a Letter of Intent with Geochem Exploration, LLC,
      a
      Wyoming limited liability company (“Geochem”) to acquire the right to purchase
      from Geochem, 100% working interest and 80% net royalty interest in the Skull
      Valley Prospect in Tooelle County, Utah, for the aggregate purchase
      price of $400,000.




**Development**




Our
      future operations are dependent upon the identification and successful
      completion of additional long-term or permanent equity financings, the support
      of creditors and shareholders, and, ultimately, the achievement of profitable
      operations. There can be no assurances that we will be successful, which would
      in turn significantly affect our ability to roll out our business plan. If
      not,
      we will likely be required to reduce operations or liquidate assets. We will
      continue to evaluate our projected expenditures relative to our available cash
      and to seek additional means of financing in order to satisfy our working
      capital and other cash requirements.




We
      continue to operate with very limited administrative support, and our current
      officers and directors continue to be responsible for many duties to preserve
      our working capital.




Other
      than completing our current acquisition transactions, we do not anticipate
      making any major purchases of capital assets in the next 6 months. We believe
      that, with our current efforts to raise capital, we will have sufficient cash
      resources to satisfy our needs over the next twelve months. Our ability to
      satisfy cash requirements thereafter will determine whether we achieve our
      business objectives. Should we require additional cash in the future, there
      can
      be no assurance that we will be successful in raising additional debt or equity
      financing on terms acceptable to our company, if at all.




2




**Dividends**





We
      have
      not, and currently do not intend to, pay dividends. Any change in this current
      intention is in the discretion of the Board of Directors.





**Employees**





As
      of
      December 31, 2007, we had no full time employees. We currently utilize temporary
      contract labor throughout the year to address business and administrative needs.




**ITEM
      1A. RISK FACTORS**




**RISKS
      RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS**




*Investors
      should carefully consider the risks described below before deciding whether
      to
      invest in our common stock. The risks described below are not the only ones
      we
      face. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently believe
      are immaterial may also impair our business operations and financial results.
      If
      any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition
      or
      results of operations could be adversely affected. In such case, the trading
      price of our common stock could decline and you could lose all or part of your
      investment. Our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission also contain
      forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual
      results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking
      statements as a result of certain factors, including the risks we face described
      below. See "Forward-Looking Statements."*




***Our
      limited operating history may not serve as an adequate basis to judge our future
      prospects and results of operations.***




We
      have a
      limited operating history. As such, our historical operating results may not
      provide a meaningful basis for evaluating our business, financial performance
      and prospects. We may not be able to achieve a similar growth rate in future
      periods. Accordingly, you should not rely on our results of operations for
      any
      prior periods as an indication of our future performance. Our success is
      significantly dependent on a successful reorganization or acquisition of an
      existing business. Our operations will be subject to all the risks inherent
      in
      the establishment of a developing enterprise and the uncertainties arising
      from
      the absence of a significant operating history. We may be unable to locate
      recoverable reserves or operate on a profitable basis. We are in the development
      stage and potential investors should be aware of the difficulties normally
      encountered by enterprises in the development stage. If our business plan is
      not
      successful, and we are not able to operate profitably, investors may lose some
      or all of their investment in our company.




***We
      have incurred losses in prior periods and may incur losses in the future.***




We
      incurred net losses of $974,452 for the period from January 3, 2001 (inception)
      to December 31, 2007. We cannot be assured that we can achieve or sustain
      profitability on a quarterly or annual basis in the future. Our operations
      are
      subject to the risks and competition inherent in the establishment of a business
      enterprise. There can be no assurance that future operations will be profitable.
      We may not achieve our business objectives and the failure to achieve such
      goals
      would have an adverse impact on us.




3




***If
      we are unable to obtain additional funding our business operations will be
      harmed and if we do obtain additional financing our then existing shareholders
      may suffer substantial dilution*** *.*




We
      will
      require additional funds to initiate our oil and gas exploration activities,
      and
      to take advantage of any available business opportunities. Historically, we
      have
      financed our expenditures primarily with proceeds from the sale of debt and
      equity securities, and bridge loans from our officers and stockholders. In
      order
      to meet our obligations or acquire an operating business, we will have to raise
      additional funds. Obtaining additional financing will be subject to market
      conditions, industry trends, investor sentiment and investor acceptance of
      our
      business plan and management. These factors may make the timing, amount, terms
      and conditions of additional financing unattractive or unavailable to us. If
      we
      are not successful in achieving financing in the amount necessary to further
      our
      operations, implementation of our business plan may fail or be delayed.




***Inability
      of Our Officers and Directors to Devote Sufficient Time to the Operation of
      the
      Business May Limit Our Success.***




Presently,
      our officers and directors allocate only a portion of their time to the
      operation of our business. If the business requires more time for operations
      than anticipated or the business develops faster than anticipated, the officers
      and directors may not be able to devote sufficient time to the operation of
      the
      business to ensure that it continues as a going concern. This lack of sufficient
      time of our management may result in limited growth and success of the business.




***If
      we are unable to successfully recruit qualified managerial and field personnel
      having experience in oil and gas exploration, we may not be able to execute
      on
      our business plan.*** **




In
      order
      to successfully implement and manage our business plan, we will be dependent
      upon, among other things, successfully recruiting qualified managerial and
      field
      personnel having experience in the oil and gas exploration business. Competition
      for qualified individuals is intense. There can be no assurance that we will
      be
      able to find, attract and retain existing employees or that we will be able
      to
      find, attract and retain qualified personnel on acceptable terms.




***Even
      if we are able to, the potential profitability of oil and gas ventures depends
      upon factors beyond the control of our company.*** **




The
      potential profitability of oil and gas properties is dependent upon many factors
      beyond our control. For instance, world prices and markets for gas and minerals
      are unpredictable, highly volatile, potentially subject to governmental fixing,
      pegging, controls or any combination of these and other factors, and respond to changes in domestic,
      international, political, social and economic environments. Additionally, due
      to
      worldwide economic uncertainty, the availability and cost of funds for
      production and other expenses have become increasingly difficult, if not
      impossible, to project. These changes and events may materially affect our
      future financial performance. These factors cannot be accurately predicted
      and
      the combination of these factors may result in our company not receiving an
      adequate return on invested capital.




***Competition
      in the oil and gas industry is highly competitive and there is no assurance
      that
      we will be successful in acquiring the leases.*** **




The
      oil
      and gas industry is intensely competitive. We compete with numerous individuals
      and companies, including many major oil and gas, and mineral companies which
      have substantially greater technical, financial and operational resources and
      staffs. Accordingly, there is a high degree of competition for desirable leases,
      suitable properties for drilling operations and necessary drilling equipment,
      as
      well as for access to funds. We cannot predict if the necessary funds can be
      raised or that any projected work will be completed.




***The
      marketability of natural resources will be affected by numerous factors beyond
      our control which may result in us not receiving an adequate return on invested
      capital to be profitable or viable*** ** ***.*** **




The
      marketability of natural resources which may be acquired or discovered by us
      will be affected by numerous factors beyond our control. These factors include
      market fluctuations in pricing and demand, the proximity and capacity of natural
      resource markets and processing equipment, governmental regulations, land
      tenure, land use, regulation concerning the importing and exporting of gas
      and
      environmental protection regulations. The exact effect of these factors cannot
      be accurately predicted, but the combination of these factors may result in
      us
      not receiving an adequate return on invested capital to be profitable or viable.

***Exploration
      and production activities are subject to certain environmental regulations
      which
      may prevent or delay the commencement or continuation of our
      operations.*** **




In
      general, our exploration and future production activities are subject to certain
      country-specific federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to
      environmental quality and pollution control. Such laws and regulations increase
      the costs of these activities and may prevent or delay the commencement or
      continuation of a given operation. Compliance with these laws and regulations
      has not had a material effect on our operations or financial condition to date.
      Specifically, we are subject to legislation regarding emissions into the
      environment, water discharges and storage and disposition of hazardous wastes.
      Generally, environmental requirements do not appear to affect us any differently
      or to any greater or lesser extent than other companies in the industry. We
      believe that our current operations comply, in all material respects, with
      all
      applicable environmental regulations.




***If
      we grant employee share options and other share-based compensation, our net
      income could be adversely affected.***




If
      we
      grant share purchase options to directors and employees does this, it will
      account for options granted in accordance with FASB Statement No. 123 (Revised
      2004), “Share-Based Payments,” or SFAS 123R, which requires all companies to
      recognize, as an expense, the fair value of share options and other share-based
      compensation to employees. As a result, if we were to grant options to directors
      and employees, we would have to account for compensation costs for all share
      options using a fair-value based method and recognize expenses in our
      consolidated statement of operations in accordance with the relevant rules
      under
      U.S. GAAP, which may have a material and adverse effect on our reported
      earnings. If we try to avoid incurring these compensation costs, we may not
      be
      able to attract and retain key personnel, as share options are an important
      employee recruitment and retention tool. If we grant employee share options
      or
      other equity incentive based compensation, our net income could be adversely
      affected.




***We
      are subject to new corporate governance and internal control reporting
      requirements, and our costs related to compliance with, or our failure to comply
      with existing and future requirements, could adversely affect our business.***




We
      may
      face new corporate governance requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of
      2002,
      as well as new rules and regulations subsequently adopted by the SEC and the
      Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. These laws, rules and regulations
      continue to evolve and may become increasingly stringent in the future. In
      particular, under rules proposed by the SEC on August 6, 2006 we will be
      required to include management's report on internal controls as part of our
      annual report for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2007 pursuant to Section
      404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Furthermore, under the proposed rules, an
      attestation report on our internal controls from our independent registered
      public accounting firm will be required as part of our annual report for the
      fiscal year ending December 31, 2008. We are in the process of evaluating our
      control structure to help ensure that we will be able to comply with Section
      404
      of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The financial cost of compliance with these laws,
      rules and regulations is expected to be substantial. We cannot assure you that
      we will be able to fully comply with these laws, rules and regulations that
      address corporate governance, internal control reporting and similar matters.
      Failure to comply with these laws, rules and regulations could materially
      adversely affect our reputation, financial condition and the value of our
      securities.




***We
      are currently a shell company with limited operations and no
      revenues.***




There
      can
      be no assurance that we will be able to acquire an operating company or
      business. Further, if we are able to acquire an operating company or business,
      there is no assurance that we will be able to operate profitably. Although
      there
      are many companies that are looking to become public through a reverse
      acquisition / shell merger, there is competition for attractive acquisition
      candidates and there can be no assurance that we will be able to find a suitable
      candidate.

***There
      is uncertainty as to our ability to enforce civil liabilities both in and
      outside the United States due to the fact that some of our directors and all
      of
      our assets are not located in the United States.***




Our
      office, our mining interests, and the majority of our assets are located in
      Canada or outside of the United States. Our current, limited operations are
      conducted in Canada. Some of our directors reside in Canada. As a result, it
      may
      be difficult for shareholders to effect service of process within the United
      States on our officers and directors. In addition, investors may have difficulty
      enforcing judgments based upon the civil liability provisions of the securities
      laws of the United States or any state thereof, both in and outside of the
      United States.




***Our
      Independent Auditors’ Report States that there is a Substantial Doubt that we
      will be able to Continue as a Going Concern.***




Our
      independent auditors, Malone & Bailey, PC, state in their audit report,
      dated April 11, 2008 that since we have not established a source of revenue
      and
      future operations are dependent on our ability to raise capital from
      shareholders or other sources, there is a substantial doubt that we will be
      able
      to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern
      is an
      issue raised as a result of recurring losses from operations. We continue to
      experience net operating losses. Our ability to continue as a going concern
      is
      subject to our ability to obtain necessary funding from outside sources,
      including obtaining additional funding from the sale of our securities. Our
      continued net operating losses increase the difficulty in meeting such goals
      and
      there can be no assurances that such methods will prove successful.




**Risk
      Relating To Our Common Stock:**




***Nevada
      law and our articles of incorporation authorize us to issue shares of stock,
      which shares may cause substantial dilution to our existing shareholders and/or
      have rights and preferences greater than our common stock.***




Pursuant
      to our Articles of Incorporation, we have, as of the date of this Report,
      720,000,000 shares of common stock authorized. As of the date of this Report,
      we
      have 54,278,002 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. As a result,
      our
      Board of Directors has the ability to issue a large number of additional shares
      of common stock without shareholder approval, which if issued could cause
      substantial dilution to our then shareholders.




***A
      limited public trading market exists for our common stock, which makes it more
      difficult for our stockholders to sell their common stock in the public
      markets.*** **




Although
      our common stock is quoted on the OTBB under the symbol “AWEC,” there is a
      limited public market for our common stock. No assurance can be given that
      an
      active market will develop or that a stockholder will ever be able to liquidate
      its shares of common stock without considerable delay, if at all. Many brokerage
      firms may not be willing to effect transactions in the securities. Even if
      a
      purchaser finds a broker willing to effect a transaction in these securities,
      the combination of brokerage commissions, state transfer taxes, if any, and
      any
      other selling costs may exceed the selling price. Furthermore, our stock price
      may be impacted by factors that are unrelated or disproportionate to our
      operating performance. These market fluctuations, as well as general economic,
      political and market conditions, such as recessions, interest rates or
      international currency fluctuations may adversely affect the market price and
      liquidity of our common stock.




***Our
      common stock may be subject to the penny stock rules which may make it more
      difficult to sell our common stock*** *.*




The
      Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted regulations which generally
      define a “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price, as
      defined, less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00
      per
      share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities may be covered by the
      penny
      stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on
      broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and
      accredited investors such as, institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000
      or an individual with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income
      exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with his or her spouse. For transactions
      covered by this rule, the broker-dealers must make a special suitability
      determination for the purchase and receive the purchaser’s written agreement of
      the transaction prior to the sale. Consequently, the rule may affect the ability
      of broker-dealers to sell our securities and also affect the ability of our
      stockholders to sell their shares in the secondary market.

      2. PROPERTIES**




After
      our
      fiscal year ended 2007, in March 2008, we moved our offices to 123 West
      1 st Ave.,
      Suite 215, Casper, Wyoming. The Company leases office space on a month-to-month
      basis, for monthly costs of $700.





**ITEM
      3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS**




On
      or
      about September 28, 2007, we filed a complaint in the Second Judicial District
      Court of the State of Nevada against Penson Financial Services Canada, PI
      Financial Corporation, Haywood Securities, Inc., Raymond James, Inc.,
      Westminster Securities Corporation, Pershing LLC, Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc.,
      The Hill Thompson Group, Ltd., Private Equity Securities, Inc., Brokington
      Securities, Inc., Fordham Financial Management, Inc., Legent Clearing, LLC,
      First Clearing, LLC, The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) and National
      Securities Clearing Corporation (“NSCC”) for declaratory and injunctive relief.
      In January 2008, we amended the complaint to add Penson Financial Services,
      Inc.
      as an additional party. On or about May 4, 2007, we announced a 3.6 to 1 forward
      stock split for stockholders of record and on May 14, 2007, our transfer agent
      filed a verification form with NASDAQ verifying the stock split and issued
      post-split stock certificates. On or about June 12, 2007, we amended our
      Articles of Incorporation changing our name from “Henley Ventures, Inc.” to
“South Sea Energy Corporation.” On June 29, 2007 NASDAQ announced a 3.6 to 1
      forward stock split for our shares with a record date of July 2, 2007 along
      with
      the name change. As a result of such announcement and despite our stock split
      already having occurred prior to such announcement by NASDAQ, DTC and/or NSCC
      made the announcement of the stock split to First Clearing and Legent. First
      Clearing and Legent then forward split our shares again 3.6 to 1 which resulted
      in overdeliveries of our shares to various purchasers. We have knowledge and
      believe that over 90% of the overdelivered shares are being held by various
      purchasers in their unclaimed suspense accounts. We filed this action for
      declaratory and injunctive relief to cause the overdelivered shares to be
      returned to their rightful owners, and for all relevant parties to correct
      their
      respective ledger accounts.




Subsequent
      to our fiscal year ended 2007, on January 14, 2008, we entered into a settlement
      agreement with PI Financial Corporation whereby PI Financial Corporation agreed
      to deliver 52,000 overdelivered shares to Weintraub Genshlea Chediak to be
      held
      in trust until the legal owner of such shares is determined. On January 24,
      2008, we entered into a settlement agreement with Penson Financial Services
      Canada and Brockington Securities, Inc. whereby Penson Financial Services Canada
      agreed to deliver 507,000 overdelivered shares to Brockington Securities, Inc.
      Additionally, on January 24, 2008, we entered into a settlement agreement with
      Penson Financial Services Canada and Private Equity Securities, Inc. whereby
      Penson Financial Services Canada agreed to deliver 468,000 overdelivered shares
      to Brockington Securities, Inc. Finally, on February 13, 2008, Haywood
      Securities, Inc. delivered 295,100 overdelivered shares to Fordham Financial
      Management, Inc.




As
      of
      March 25, 2008, we have dismissed the following parties from this lawsuit:
      PI
      Financial Corporation, Haywood Securities, Inc., Raymond James, Inc.,
      Westminster Securities Corporation, Pershing LLC, Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc.,
      Private Equity Securities, Inc., Brokington Securities, Inc., Legent Clearing,
      LLC, DTC and NSCC.

The

      Forward looking statements are statements not based on historical information
      and which relate to future operations, strategies, financial results or other
      developments. Forward-looking statements are based upon estimates, forecasts,
      and assumptions that are inherently subject to significant business, economic
      and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our
      control and many of which, with respect to future business decisions, are
      subject to change. These uncertainties and contingencies can affect actual
      results and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed
      in any forward-looking statements made by us, or on our behalf. We disclaim
      any
      obligation to update forward-looking statements.

The
      discussion and financial statements contained herein are for our fiscal year
      ended December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006. The following discussion
      regarding our financial statements should be read in conjunction with our
      financial statements included herewith.




**Financial
      Condition as of December 31, 2007.**




We
      reported total current assets of $10,600 at December 31, 2007, consisting of
      cash of $245 and prepaid expenses and deposits of $10,355. Total current
      liabilities reported of $1,237,554 consisted of $753,640 in accounts payable
      and
      accrued liabilities and of $483,914 in convertible notes and interest on
      convertible notes. We had a working capital deficiency of $1,226,954 at December
      31, 2007. We had long term liabilities of $61,560, representing the amortized
      value of the detachable warrants issued in connection with the October 2, 2007
      convertible notes.




Stockholders'
      Deficiency decreased from $60,914 at December 31, 2006 to an equity position
      of
      $470,139 at December 31, 2007. This change is due to a net loss of $815,351
      in
      the period, subscriptions received and the issuance of notes convertible into
      units of common stock.




We
      are
      currently a development stage company focused on the gas and mineral industry,
      and evaluating opportunities for expansion within that industry through
      acquisition or other strategic relationships.




**Plan
      of Operation**




**Background**




We
      were
      incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on January 3, 2001 under
      the
      name Henley Ventures Inc. for the purpose of acquiring and developing mineral
      properties. We acquired certain rights to mineral claims on the Red Bird,
      Pleasant Surprise and Red Bird Protection in British Columbia, Canada. The
      Red
      Bird is a large claim block which covers a number of old gold and copper
      showings, which were first discovered in the early part of the last century.
      In
      July 2006, we commenced Phase I of the exploration program to undertake further
      geochemical sampling by way of the establishment of a grid to obtain soil and
      rock samples for assaying as an initial stage. To date, no minerals have yet
      been discovered on the properties and certain of our rights to such mineral
      claims expired in September 2007.




In
      May
      2007, we decided to concentrate significant efforts on the exploration,
      development and production of oil and gas. To facilitate this shift in business
      focus, on June 12, 2007 Henley Ventures, Inc., a Nevada corporation merged
      with
      and into its wholly owned subsidiary, South Sea Energy Corp. resulting in South
      Sea Energy Corp. being the surviving corporation. On June 15, 2007, we signed
      a
      letter of intent with CBM Asia Development Corp., (“CBM”) as amended, to acquire
      40% interest in a participation agreement of a coal bed methane project in
      East
      Kalimatan, Indonesia, for $100,000. The letter of intent also provided that
      our
      newly appointed directors and officers receive 26,000,000 shares of our common
      stock. The terms of the acquisition were subject to the parties closing the
      transaction no later than July 7, 2007. On August 17, 2007, we entered into
      a
      memorandum of understanding for the termination of the negotiations with CBM.
      Pursuant to the memorandum of understanding, the 26,000,000 shares issued to
      our
      now former officers and directors were returned to treasury for cancellation
      and
      we relinquished any rights we may have had to the underlying project. At
      December 31, 2007, related acquisition costs totaling $209,230 were written
      off.




On
      August
      24, 2007, we entered into an assignment agreement with Pin Petroleum Partners
      Ltd. (“Pin”), whereby Pin agreed to assign its rights and obligation under a
      certain letter of intent with Muddy Minerals, LLC (“Muddy”), to a property
      referred to as the South Glenrock “C” oil field, located in Converse County,
      Wyoming for the aggregate sum of $550,000. Under the terms of the letter of
      intent we assumed, we agreed to acquire a 99.5% working interest in the oil
      field, together with a 78% net royalty interest in the oil field for the
      aggregate sum of $5,000,000. In concert with our intention to focus our business
      endeavors on the U.S. oil and gas sector, on August 28, 2007, we merged with
      and
      into our wholly owned subsidiary, Ameriwest Energy Corp. (“Ameriwest”) resulting
      in Ameriwest Energy Corp. being the surviving corporation.

On
      November 6, 2007, we signed a Letter of Intent with Geochem Exploration, LLC,
      a
      Wyoming limited liability company (“Geochem”) to acquire the right to purchase
      from Geochem, 100% working interest and 80% net royalty interest in the Skull
      Valley Prospect in Tooele County, Utah, for the aggregate purchase price of
      $400,000.




**Subsequent
      Events**




Subsequent
      to our fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, we entered into an amendment
      agreement with Muddy whereby certain of our payment obligations were extended,
      including the final payment to Muddy of $3,250,000 to on or before June 1,
      2008.
      Additionally, the parties agreed to extend the entering of a definitive
      agreement to on or before May 1, 2008.




Further
      subsequent to our fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, we entered into an
      amendment agreement with Geochem whereby certain of our payment obligations
      were
      extended, including the final payment to Geochem of $200,000 to on or before
      May
      15, 2008. Additionally, the parties agreed to extend the entering of a
      definitive agreement to on or before May 15, 2008.




Further
      subsequent to our fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, we entered into an
      exclusive option agreement with Hot Springs Resources, Ltd. to
      purchase certain assets of Hot Springs including (i) wells, well bores, leases,
      contracts, records, books, equipment, buildings, etc., and (ii) not less than
      a
      working interest of 95% at a 79.9% net revenue interest in certain acreage
      inside the Burch Ranch Unit, a working interest of 100% at an 82% net revenue
      interest in leases outside of the Burch Ranch Unit and all of Hot Springs’
interest in a leasehold attached to or held by unit, other formations and
      hydrocarbon substances, for the aggregate purchase price of $4,280,000 and
      the
      issuance of 400,000 shares of our common stock.




**Cash
      and Cash Equivalents**




As
      of
      December 31, 2007, we had cash of $245. As such, we anticipate that we will
      have
      to raise additional capital through debt or equity financings to fund our
      operations and execute our business plan during the next 6 to 12 months.




**Development**




Our
      future operations are dependent upon the identification and successful
      completion of additional long-term or permanent equity financings, the support
      of creditors and shareholders, and, ultimately, the achievement of profitable
      operations. There can be no assurances that we will be successful, which would
      in turn significantly affect our ability to roll out our business plan. If
      not,
      we will likely be required to reduce operations or liquidate assets. We will
      continue to evaluate our projected expenditures relative to our available cash
      and to seek additional means of financing in order to satisfy our working
      capital and other cash requirements.




We
      continue to operate with very limited administrative support, and our current
      officers and directors continue to be responsible for many duties to preserve
      our working capital.




Other
      than completing our current acquisition transaction, we do not anticipate making
      any major purchases of capital assets in the next 6 months. We believe that,
      with our current efforts to raise capital, we will have sufficient cash
      resources to satisfy our needs over the next twelve months. Our ability to
      satisfy cash requirements thereafter will determine whether we achieve our
      business objectives. Should we require additional cash in the future, there
      can
      be no assurance that we will be successful in raising additional debt or equity
      financing on terms acceptable to our company, if at all.

**Critical
      Accounting Policies**




The
      preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally
      accepted accounting principles requires management of our company to make
      estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
      liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
      of
      the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
      during the reporting periods.




Our
      management routinely makes judgments and estimates about the effects of matters
      that are inherently uncertain. As the number of variables and assumptions
      affecting the probable future resolution of the uncertainties increase, these
      judgments become even more subjective and complex. Our significant accounting
      policies are discussed in Note 2 to our audited financial statements for the
      fiscal year ended December 31, 2007. We have identified the following accounting
      policies, described below, as the most important to an understanding of our
      current financial condition and results of operations.




*Cash
      and cash equivalents*




Cash
      and
      cash equivalents are defined as cash on hand, demand deposits and short-term,
      highly liquid investments with an original maturity of ninety days or
      less.




*Exploration
      Stage*




We
      comply
      with Financial Accounting Standard Board Statement (“SFAS”) No. 7 for its
      characterization of us as an exploration Stage Company. We are devoting
      substantially all of our present efforts to establish a new business and none
      of
      its planned principal operations have commenced.




*Loss
      per share*




In
      accordance with SFAS No. 128, *Earnings
      Per Share* ,
      the
      basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common
      stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.
      Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average
      number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially
      dilutive securities outstanding during each period. Diluted loss per common
      share is not presented because it is anti-dilutive. The weighted average number
      of shares outstanding during all periods has been retroactively restated to
      reflect the following:


i.
            A
                forward stock split of 26 new shares for one old share, effective
                November
                10, 2006;


ii.
            A
                forward stock split of 3.6 new shares for one old share, effective
                May 4,
                2007.




*Impairment
      of Long-lived Assets*




In
      accordance with SFAS No. 144, *Accounting
      for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets* ,
      the
      carrying value of intangible assets and other long-lived assets are reviewed
      on
      a regular basis for the existence of facts or circumstances that may suggest
      impairment. We recognize impairment when the sum of the expected undiscounted
      future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. Impairment
      losses, if any, are measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the asset
      over its estimated fair value. Oil and gas properties accounted for using the
      full cost method of accounting, a method we utilize, is excluded from this
      requirement, but will continue to be subject to the ceiling test
      limitations.




*Income
      taxes*




The
      Company accounts for income taxes under SFAS No. 109, *Accounting
      for Income Taxes.* Under
      SFAS No.109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future
      tax consequences attributable to differences between their financial statement
      carrying amounts and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and
      liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable
      income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be
      recovered or settled.




*Accounting
      for Convertible Instruments*




When
      we
      issue convertible instruments with detachable instruments, the proceeds of
      the
      issuance are allocated between the convertible instrument and other detachable
      instruments based on their relative fair values pursuant to Emerging Issues
      Task
      Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 00-27 “Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain
      Convertible Instruments”. The resulting discount of the convertible instrument
      is amortized into income as interest expense over the term of the convertible
      instrument.




11




When
      we
      issue convertible debt securities with a non-detachable conversion feature
      that
      provides for an effective rate of conversion that is below market value on
      the
      commitment date, it is known as a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) and
      pursuant to EITF Issue No. 98-5 “Accounting for Convertible Securities with
      Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios” and
      EITF Issue No. 00-27, the conversion feature of the security that has
      characteristics of an equity instrument is measured at its intrinsic value
      at
      the commitment date and is recorded as additional paid in capital. A portion
      of
      the proceeds of the security issued is allocated to the conversion feature
      equal
      to its intrinsic value to a maximum of the amount allocated to the convertible
      instrument. The resulting discount of the debt instrument is amortized into
      income as interest expense over the conversion feature’s vesting period.




*Stock
      based compensation*




The
      Company recognizes stock based compensation expense and other forms of employee
      equity compensation in accordance with SFAS No. 123R, *Share-Based Payment,* as
      interpreted by SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107.




**Results
      of Operations**




**For
      the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2007**




During
      the period ended December 31, 2007, we effected a change in our business focus
      to the acquisition, exploration, development and production of oil and gas
      assets from the acquisition and development of mineral properties. Due to the
      significant changes, part of our results for the year ended December 31, 2006
      and 2005 are likely to be in the future, reported as discontinued operations,
      and we believe that a comparison of results of operations for the fiscal years
      ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 should not be relied on as an indication of
      future performance.

***General
      and administrative expenses***




During
      the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, we incurred total expenses of $815,351,
      as compared to $35,070 for the year ended December 31, 2006. These expenses
      were
      related mainly to executive compensation and to marketing and investor relations
      activities. Other expenses were incurred in relation to activities associated
      with maintaining a public listing, such as legal and accounting
      fees.




Expenses
      or other cash flows in this period may not be indicative of future periods
      as we
      are in the early development stage.




12




***Acquisition
      costs***




In
      June
      2007, we entered into a letter of intent to participate in the development
      and
      exploration of a coal bed methane project in East Kalimatan, Indonesia. In
      August 2007, we opted to not complete this acquisition, and accordingly, at
      December 31, 2007, we wrote off the related acquisition costs totaling
      $183,230.




**Period
      from inception, January 3, 2001 to December 31, 2007**





We
      have
      incurred losses in each period since inception and have an accumulated deficit
      of $974,452 at December 31, 2007. We expect to continue to incur losses as
      a
      result of expenditures for general and administrative activities while we remain
      in the development stage.




**Liquidity
      and Capital Resources**




As
      of
      December 31, 2007, we had cash of $245, and working capital deficiency of
      $1,226,954. During the period ended December 31, 2007, we funded our operations
      from the proceeds of private sales of equity and convertible notes. We are
      currently completing a further financing and we believe that this will provide
      sufficient working capital to fund our operations for at least the next 12
      months. Changes in our operating plans, increased expenses, additional
      acquisitions, or other events, may cause us to seek additional equity or debt
      financing in the future.




For
      the
      period ended December 31, 2007, we had $348,248 in cash flows provided by
      operating activities. Net cash from operating activities reflected $8,855 in
      prepaid expenses and deposits, a cash overdraft of $68 and an increase in
      accounts payable of $727,340. Investment activities used $1,941,883 of cash
      during the period, of which $1,758,653 was related to the assignment agreement
      with Pin Petroleum Partners Ltd. and the letter of intent with Geochem
      Exploration LLC.




We
      raised
      $956,946 during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 from the proceeds of
      convertible notes, $672,980 from the issuance of common stock, and used $36,047
      to refund loans to former related parties.




Our
      current cash requirements are significant due to contemplated acquisition and
      planned exploration and development of this project. Accordingly, we expect
      to
      continue to use cash to fund operations for at least the remaining of our fiscal
      year ended December 31, 2007, as look to expand our asset base and fund
      exploration of our properties.

**ITEM
      9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENT WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL
      DISCLOSURE**




Effective
        December 6, 2007, the Company dismissed Cordovano and Honeck, LLP, of Englewood,
        Colorado, (“the “Former Accountant”) as its independent registered public
        accounting firm.
 
 The
        Company has engaged Malone & Bailey, PC Certified Public Accountants of
        Houston, Texas as the Company’s principal accountant. The change in certifying
        accountant is effective on December 6, 2007. Malone & Bailey have been
        engaged to audit the Company’s year end financial statements for the fiscal year
        ending December 31, 2007.
 
 Save
        and
        except as disclosed below, the Former Accountant did not, for either of the
        past
        two years or to the date of the change of certifying accountant, produce
        a
        report on the financial statements of the Company which contained an adverse
        opinion or disclaimer of opinion. Save and except as disclosed below, their
        reports were not modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting
        principles.
 
 The
        financial statements audited by the Former Accountant for the fiscal years
        ended
        December 31, 2006 and 2005 contained a modified opinion because factors
        including the Company’s net loss and its not having obtained profitable
        operations raised substantial doubt that the Company would be able to continue
        as a going concern.
 
 The
        decision to change certifying accountants was approved by resolution of the
        directors of the Company effective the 6th day of December 2007.
 
 For
        either of the past two years and to the date of the change in certifying
        accountant, there were no reportable events as described in Regulation S-K
        229.304(a)(1)(v). There were no disagreements, for either of the past two
        years
        and to the date of the change of certifying accountant, with the Former
        Accountant on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial
        statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure of any kind, including
        any
        which, if not resolved to the Former Accountant’s satisfaction, would have
        caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement(s)
        in
        connection with its report.
 
 The
        Former Accountant was not, prior to its appointment or in the previous two
        most
        recent fiscal years of the Company, consulted by the Company as to the
        application of accounting principles to a specific completed or contemplated
        transaction, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the
        Company’s financial statements and neither written nor oral advice was provided
        that was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision
        as
        to the accounting for an auditing or financial reporting
        issue.




**ITEM
      9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES**





We
      carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation
      of
      our management, including our Principal Executive Officer along with our
      Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design of the our
      disclosure controls and procedures (as defined by Exchange Act
      Rule 13a-15(e) and 15a-15(e)) as of the end of our fiscal year pursuant to
      Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Based upon that evaluation, our Principal
      Executive Officer along with our Principal Financial Officer concluded that
      our
      disclosure controls and procedures are not effective in ensuring that
      information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit
      under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within
      the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and
      forms. This
      conclusion is based primarily upon our
      lack
      of appropriate resources dedicated to timely information processing
      and reporting, and additionally the results of adjustments made
      to our financial statements by our external auditors in performing their audit
      of our financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31,
      2007.





**Management’s
      Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting**





Our
      management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal
      control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and
      15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Under the supervision and with the
      participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and
      Chief
      Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our
      internal control over financial reporting based on criteria established in
      the
      framework in *Internal
      Control - Integrated Framework* issued
      by
      the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based
      on
      this evaluation, our management concluded that our internal control over
      financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2007.





Because
      of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may
      not
      prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness
      to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate
      because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the
      policies or procedures may deteriorate. All internal control systems, no matter
      how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems
      determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect
      to
      financial statement preparation and presentation.





16




This
      annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public
      accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Our
      management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public
      accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange
      Commission that permit us to provide only our management’s report in this annual
      report.





**Changes
      in Internal Control over Financial Reporting**





We
      have
      had very limited operations and there were no changes in our internal controls
      over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended December
      31, 2007 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially
      affect, our internal controls over financial reporting. We believe that a
      control system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide
      absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are met, and no
      evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues
      and instances of fraud, if any, within any company have been
      detected.

      Wright was appointed to our Board on August 24, 2007. He also served as our
      President from August 24, 2007 to December 7, 2007. Mr. Wright has over 20
      years
      of experience in finance and administrative management in both private and

Mr.

      has
      more than 40 years of experience in business, mineral development and
      agriculture. He has served as president of JK Minerals Inc., a private oil

**Audit
      Committee Financial Expert**





Our
      Board
      of Directors has not established a separate audit committee within the meaning
      of Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
      "Exchange Act"). Instead, the entire Board of Directors acts as the audit
      committee within the meaning of Section 3(a)(58)(B) of the Exchange Act. In
      addition, Chris D. Wright currently meets the definition of an "audit committee
      financial expert" within the meaning of Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation SK. Mr.
      Wright and Mr. Nicolaysen are independent directors. We are seeking further
      candidates for outside directors to serve on a separate audit committee when
      we
      establish one. Due to our small size and limited operations and resources,
      it
      has been difficult to recruit outside directors.

**Compliance
      with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934**





Based
      solely upon a review of Forms 3, 4 and 5 delivered to us as filed with the
      Securities Exchange Commission, each of our former President and Director,
      Gregory Leigh Lyons and former President and current Director, Chris D. Wright
      failed to file on a timely basis a Form 3 as required pursuant to Section
      16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act. Mr. Lyons and Mr. Wright each had one
      late
      report during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007. Further, subsequent
      to
      our fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, our current President, Walter Merschat,
      and Directors, Jon Nicolaysen and Mr. Wright, each failed to file on a timely
      basis a Form 4 as required pursuant to Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange
      Act.





Except
      as
      set forth above, and based solely upon a review of Forms 3, 4 and 5 delivered
      to
      us as filed with the Securities Exchange Commission, our executive officers
      and
      directors, and persons who own more than 10% of our Common Stock timely filed
      all required reports pursuant to Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act.





**Code
      of Ethics**





Given
      our
      limited operations and resources and because we are in the exploration stage,
      we
      have not yet adopted a code of ethics. Upon commencement of significant
      operations and hiring other executive officers, we intend to adopt a code of
      ethics that will apply to all our employees.

On

      15, 2007, we signed a letter of intent with CBM Asia Development Corp., (“CBM”)
      as amended, to acquire 40% interest in a participation agreement of a coal
      bed
      methane project in East Kalimatan, Indonesia, for $100,000. The letter of intent
      also provided that our former directors and officers, Alan Charuk, Harvey Price,
      James Charuk and Charles Bloomquist, receive 26,000,000 shares of our common
      stock valued at $26,000. Alan Charuk is a principal shareholder and officer
      of
      CBM, and Mr. Price, James Charuk and Mr. Bloomquist are affiliates of CBM.
      On
      August 17, 2007, we entered into a memorandum of understanding for the
      termination of the negotiations with CBM. Pursuant to the memorandum of
      understanding, (i) the 26,000,000 shares issued to our now former officers
      and
      directors were returned to treasury for cancellation and we relinquished any
      rights we may have had to the underlying project, (ii) CBM repaid to us $26,000
      of a deposit, and (iii) we forgave the remaining $74,000 of the deposit
      previously provided to CBM.

In

      all audit and non-audit services to be performed by the independent registered
      public accounting firm in accordance with the rules and regulations promulgated
      under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Board of Directors
      pre-approved 100% of the audit, audit-related and tax services performed by
      the
      independent registered public accounting firm in fiscal 2007. The percentage
      of
      hours expended on the principal accountant's engagement to audit the Company's
      financial statements for the most recent fiscal year that were attributed to
      work performed by persons other than the principal accountant's full-time,
      permanent employees was 0%.

 To
        The
        Board of Directors
 of
        Henley
        Ventures, Inc.:
 
 We
        have
        audited the accompanying balance sheet of Henley Ventures, Inc. as of December
        31, 2006, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and
        cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 and for the period
        from January 3, 2001 (inception) through December 31, 2006. 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 standards of the Public Company
        Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that
        we plan
        and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
        statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining,
        on a
        test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
        statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used
        and
        significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
        financial statements presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
        reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
 In
        our
        opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
        material respects, the financial position of Henley Ventures, Inc. as of
        December 31, 2006, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for
        the
        years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 and for the period from January 3,
        2001
        (inception) through December 31, 2006 in conformity with generally accepted
        accounting principles.
 
 The
        accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company
        will
        continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements,
        the Company’s significant operating losses raise substantial doubt about its
        ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include
        any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
        uncertainty.

**REPORT
      OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM**





To
      the
      Stockholders


Ameriwest
      Energy Corp. (Formerly South Sea Energy Corp.)


Casper,
      Wyoming





We
      have
      audited the accompanying balance sheet of Ameriwest Energy Corp. (Formerly
      South
      Sea Energy Corp.) (An Exploration Stage Company) as of December 31, 2007, and
      the related statement of operations, stockholder’s equity and cash flows for the
      year then ended. 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 audit.





The
      financial statements for the period January 3, 2001 (Date of Inception) through
      December 31, 2006, were audited by other auditors whose report expressed an
      unqualified opinion on those statements. The financial statements for the period
      January 3, 2001 (Date of Inception) through December 31, 2006, include total
      expenses and net loss of $159,101. Our opinion on the statements of operations,
      stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the period January 3, 2001
      (Date of Inception) through December 31, 2007, insofar as it relates to amounts
      for prior periods through December 31, 2006, is based solely on the report
      of
      other auditors.





We
      conducted our audits in accordance with 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 audit 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
      consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit
      provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.





In
      our
      opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
      material respects, the financial position of Ameriwest Energy Corp. (Formerly
      South Sea Energy Corp.) as of December 31, 2007, and the results of its
      operations and cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting
      principles generally accepted in the United States of America.





The
      accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company
      will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial
      statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has
      a
      working capital deficiency, which raises substantial doubt about its ability
      to
      continue as a going concern. Management's plans regarding these matters also
      are
      described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments
      that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Ameriwest
      Energy Corp.


(Formerly
      South Sea Energy Corp.)


(An
      Exploration Stage company)


Notes
      to
      Financial Statements


December
      31, 2007





**1.**
            **Nature
                of operations**





Ameriwest
      Energy Corp. (Formerly South Sea Energy Corp.) was incorporated in Nevada on
      January 3, 2001 under the name Henley Ventures Inc. for the purpose of acquiring
      and developing mineral properties. No minerals were discovered on the
      properties.





During
      the year ended December 31, 2007, Ameriwest changed its business and
      commenced concentrating on the acquisition, exploration, development and
      production of oil and gas assets. On August 28, 2007, Ameriwest changed its
      name
      to Ameriwest Energy Corp.





**2.**
            **Summary
                of significant accounting
                policies**





The
      financial statements of Ameriwest have been prepared in accordance with
      generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.
      Because a precise determination of many assets and liabilities is dependent
      upon
      future events, the preparation of financial statements for a period necessarily
      involves the use of estimates, which have been made using careful judgment.
      Actual results may vary from these estimates.





The
      financial statements have, in management’s opinion, been properly prepared
      within the framework of the significant accounting policies summarized
      below:





**Cash
      and cash equivalents**


Cash
      and
      cash equivalents are defined as cash on hand, demand deposits and short-term,
      highly liquid investments with an original maturity of ninety days or less.





**Exploration
      stage company**


Ameriwest
      complies with Financial Accounting Standard Board Statement No. 7 for its
      characterization of Ameriwest as an Exploration Stage Company. Ameriwest is
      devoting substantially all of its present efforts to establish a new business
      and none of its planned principal operations have commenced.





**Loss
      per share**


In
      accordance with SFAS No. 128, *Earnings
      Per Share* ,
      the
      basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common
      stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.
      Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average
      number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially
      dilutive securities outstanding during each period. Diluted loss per common
      share is not presented because it is anti-dilutive. The weighted average number
      of shares outstanding during all periods has been retroactively restated to
      reflect the following:





·  A
      forward
      stock split of 26 new shares for one old share, effective November 10,
      2006;


·  A
      forward
      stock split of 3.6 new shares for one old share, effective May 4,
      2007.





**Income
      taxes**


Ameriwest
      accounts for income taxes under SFAS No. 109, *Accounting
      for Income Taxes.* Under
      SFAS No.109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future
      tax consequences attributable to differences between their financial statement
      carrying amounts and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and
      liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable
      income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be
      recovered or settled.




F-8




**Impairment
      of long-lived assets**


In
      accordance with SFAS No. 144, *Accounting
      for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets* ,
      the
      carrying value of intangible assets and other long-lived assets are reviewed
      on
      a regular basis for the existence of facts or circumstances that may suggest
      impairment. Ameriwest recognizes impairment when the sum of the expected
      undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset.
      Impairment losses, if any, are measured as the excess of the carrying amount
      of
      the asset over its estimated fair value. Oil and gas properties accounted for
      using the full cost method of accounting, a method utilized by Ameriwest, is
      excluded from this requirement, but will continue to be subject to the ceiling
      test limitations. There
      were no impairment losses in 2007 and 2006.





**Convertible
      instruments**


When
        Ameriwest issues convertible debt with detachable instruments, it allocates
        the
        proceeds received on a relative fair value basis pursuant to EITF Issue No.
        98-5
“Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features
        or
        Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios “. Then, it applies the amount
        allocated to the convertible instrument, and an effective conversion price
        is
        calculated and used to measure the intrinsic value, if any, of the embedded
        conversion option. The intrinsic value of the embedded conversion option
        and the
        relative fair value of the detachable instruments are recorded as discounts
        to
        the convertible debt and amortized over the term of the debt.
  When
        Ameriwest issues convertible debt with non-detachable instruments, the intrinsic
        value of the conversion option is computed based on a comparison of the proceeds
        of the convertible instrument allocated to the common stock portion of the
        conversion option and the fair value at the commitment date of the common
        stock
        to be received by the holder upon conversion pursuant to EITF Issue No. 00-27
        Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments”. The excess of
        the fair value of the common stock at the commitment date over proceeds is
        the
        intrinsic value of the embedded conversion option that is recognized by
        Ameriwest at the issuance date for the convertible debt. The intrinsic value
        of
        the embedded conversion option is recorded as a discount to the convertible
        debt
        and amortized over the term of the debt.


**Stock
      based compensation**


Ameriwest
      recognizes stock based compensation expense and other forms of employee equity
      compensation in accordance with SFAS No. 123R, *Share-Based Payment,* as
      interpreted by SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107.





**3.**
            **Going
                concern**





These
      financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
      accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes that
      Ameriwest will be able to meet its obligations and continue its operations
      for
      the next twelve months. Realization values may be substantially different from
      carrying values as shown and these financial statements do not give effect
      to
      adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values and classification
      of
      assets and liabilities should Ameriwest be unable to continue as a going
      concern. At December 31, 2007, Ameriwest has not yet achieved profitable
      operations, has accumulated losses of $974,452 since its inception, has a
      working capital deficiency of $1,226,954 and expects to incur further losses
      in
      the development of its business, all of which casts substantial doubt about
      Ameriwest’s ability to continue as a going concern. Ameriwest’s ability to
      continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate future
      profitable operations and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its
      obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations
      when they come due.





Ameriwest
      expects to continue to incur substantial losses and will require substantial
      capital to execute its business plan and does not expect to attain profitability
      in the near future. Since its inception, Ameriwest has funded operations through
      short-term borrowings and equity investments in order to meet its strategic
      objectives. Ameriwest's future operations are dependent upon external funding
      and its ability to execute its business plan, realize sales and control
      expenses. Management believes that sufficient funding will be available from
      additional borrowings and private placements to meet its business objectives
      including anticipated cash needs for working capital, for a reasonable period
      of
      time. However, there can be no assurance that Ameriwest will be able to obtain
      sufficient funds to continue the development of its business operation.




F-9




**4.**
            **Financial
                instruments**





**Credit
      risk**


Ameriwest
      maintains cash deposits with financial institutions, which from time to time
      may
      exceed federally insured limits. Ameriwest has not experienced any losses in
      connection with these deposits and believes it is not exposed to any significant
      credit risk from cash.





**Fair
      values**


Financial
      instruments that are subject to fair disclosure requirements are carried in
      the
      financial statements at amounts that approximate fair value and include cash,
      accounts payable and accrued expenses and notes payable.  Fair values are
      based on assumptions concerning the amount and timing of estimated future cash
      flows and assumed discount rates reflecting varying degrees of
      risk.





**Liquidity
      risk**


Ameriwest
      is exposed to liquidity risk as its continued operations are dependent upon
      obtaining additional capital or achieving profitable operations to satisfy
      its
      liabilities as they come due.





**5.**
            **Mineral
                claims**





On
      July
      28, 2004, Ameriwest acquired a 100% interest in the mineral rights to the Red
      Bird claim located 93 air miles northeast of Vancouver, British Columbia.





During
      the first quarter of the year ended December 31, 2007, Ameriwest acquired
      two additional mineral claims, called the Red Bird Protection and the Pleasant
      Surprise, located in the area surrounding the Red Bird claim. The claims were
      in
      good standing until September 30, 2007, but have lapsed as at December 31,
      2007.
      Ameriwest did not undertake any exploration in these three mineral claims.





**6.**
            **Oil
                and gas interests**





**East
      Kalimatan, Indonesia**


On
      June
      15, 2007, Ameriwest signed a letter of intent with CBM Asia Development Corp.,
      as amended, whereby it would acquire an interest in a participation agreement
      of
      a coal bed methane project in East Kalimatan, Indonesia for $100,000. The
      agreement also provided that the newly appointed directors and officers of
      Ameriwest would receive 26,000,000 shares of common stock of the
      Company.





The
      terms
      of the acquisition were subject to the parties closing the transaction no later
      than July 7, 2007. On August 17, 2007, Ameriwest entered into a memorandum
      of
      understanding for the termination of the negotiations with CBM. Pursuant to
      the
      memorandum of understanding, the 26,000,000 shares issued to the now former
      directors and officers were returned to treasury for cancellation.





At
      December 31, 2007, related acquisition costs totaling $183,230 were written
      off.





**South
      Glenrock C Field, Wyoming**


On
      August
      24, 2007, Ameriwest entered into an assignment agreement with Pin Petroleum
      Partners Ltd., whereby Pin agreed to assign its rights and obligation under
      a
      letter of intent with Muddy Minerals, LLC, to a property referred to as the
      South Glenrock “C” Oil Field, located in Converse County, Wyoming for the
      aggregate sum of $550,000, which includes $500,000 in repayment of funds paid
      by
      Pin to Muddy on behalf of Ameriwest.




F-10




Pursuant
      to the terms of the letter of intent Ameriwest assumed, Ameriwest agreed to
      acquire a 99.5% working interest in the oil field, together with a 78% net
      royalty interest in oil field for the sum of $5,000,000, payable as
      follows:





$500,000
      payable on or before July 15, 2007 (paid by Muddy on behalf of
      Ameriwest),


$500,000
      payable on or before September 1, 2007 (paid);


$1,000,000
      payable on or before October 1, 2007 (of which $500,000 was paid in October
      2007, and $250,000 was paid subsequent to year end);


$1,000,000
      payable on or before November 1, 2007 (past due);


$1,000,000
      payable on or before December 1, 2007 (past due); and


$1,000,000
      payable on or before January 4, 2008 (past due).





The
      terms
      of the acquisition are subject to the parties entering into a definitive
      agreement. As at December 31, 2007, $1,500,000 was paid to Muddy pursuant to
      the
      letter of intent, and another $250,000 was paid subsequent to year end.
      Ameriwest has accrued $550,000 payable to Pin pursuant to the
      Assignment.





During
      the year ended December 31, 2007, Ameriwest incurred $108,653 in deferred
      exploration costs associated with the preparation of reservoir evaluation.
      These
      costs are included in deferred acquisition costs on the balance sheet since
      the
      parties have not yet entered into a definitive agreement.





Subsequent
      to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, Ameriwest entered into an amendment
      agreement with Muddy whereby certain of Ameriwest’s payment obligations were
      extended, including the final payment to Muddy of $3,250,000 to on or before
      June 1, 2008. Additionally, the parties agreed to extend the entering of a
      definitive agreement to on or before May 1, 2008 .

On
      November 6, 2007, Ameriwest signed a letter of intent with Geochem
      Exploration, LLC.., a Wyoming limited liability company, to acquire the
      right to purchase an undivided working interest and an eighty percent (80%)
      net royalty interest in and to the Skull Valley Prospect in Tooele County,

      into a definitive agreement on or before May 15, 2008 and completion of the
      due
      diligence by the same date.





As
      at
      December 31, 2007, the first payment of $100,000 was made to Geochem pursuant
      to
      the LOI. The parties have not yet entered into a definitive
      agreement.




Subsequent
      to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, Ameriwest entered into an amendment
      agreement with Geochem whereby certain of Ameriwest’s payment obligations were

**Subsequent
      issuance**


Subsequent
      to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, from March 3 through March 25,
      2008,
      Ameriwest issued four convertible notes for aggregate proceeds of $550,000.
      The amount of each note is unsecured and is due in two years. The principal
      amount of each note bears interest at 6% per annum calculated and payable
      annually. At
      any
      time that the principal and interest shall remain outstanding, the lender has
      the right to convert such principal and interest to shares of Ameriwest’s
      common stock at a rate of $0.60 per share. In relation to these notes, Ameriwest
      also issued a warrant to purchase 916,668 shares of its common stock, expiring
      in two years. The warrants are exercisable at $0.60 for the first year and
      at
      $0.90 for the second year.

      convertible notes, and concluded that they do not meet the definition of a
      derivative instrument under SFAS 133 *Accounting

**10.**
            **Income
                taxes**




Deferred
        income taxes reflect the net effect of temporary difference between carrying
        amounts of assets and liabilities for financial purposes and the amounts
        used
        for income taxes reporting purposes, and net operating loss carryforwards.
 
 No
        net
        provision for refundable U.S. Federal income tax has been made in the
        accompanying statement of operations because no recoverable taxes were paid
        previously. Similarly, no deferred tax asset attributable to the net operating
        loss carryforward has been recognized, as it is not deemed likely to be
        realized.
 
 At
        December 31, 2007, Ameriwest has accumulated net operating losses in the
        United
        States totaling approximately $974,452 which are available to reduce taxable
        income in future years and expire in 2026.
 
 The
        significant components of Ameriwest’s deferred tax assets as of December 31,
        2007 & 2006 are as follows:
