**PROVIDENCE RESOURCES INC.            (A Development Stage Company)            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS            June 30, 2008 and 2007**

Note 1 — Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization

The consolidated financial statements consist of Providence Resources, Inc. (“Providence Resources”) and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Healthbridge AG, Providence Exploration LLC (“Providence Exploration”), PDX Drilling, LLC, Providence Resources, LLC, and a ninety percent interest in Comanche County Pipeline, LLC        (collectively “the Company”).        The Company was organized as “Healthbridge, Inc.” on February 17, 1993 (date of inception) under the laws of the State of Texas. Healthbridge AG was formed as a German subsidiary during 2002. The Company changed its name to “Providence Resources, Inc.” on September 29, 2006.

        Providence Exploration was formed on July 12, 2005. On November 21, 2005, the Company executed a letter of intent to acquire Providence Exploration and on September 29, 2006, the Company acquired Providence Exploration as a wholly owned subsidiary, pursuant to the closing of a Securities Exchange Agreement and a Note Exchange Agreement. In October of 2006, Providence Exploration entered into an agreement to form Comanche County Pipeline, LLC with the purpose of constructing an oil and        gas pipeline in Comanche County, Texas.        The Securities Exchange Agreement, entered into on April 10, 2006 with Providence Exploration and the unit holders of Providence Exploration, provided for the exchange of 4,286,330 shares of the Company’s common stock for 1,250,000 issued and outstanding membership units of Providence Exploration. The Note Exchange Agreement, entered into on April 10, 2006 with the holders of certain promissory notes issued by Providence Exploration, provided for the exchange of 12,213,670 shares        of the Company’s common stock for the assignment of those promissory notes to the Company. The agreements were closed pursuant to shareholder approval at a special meeting of the shareholders held on September 29, 2006.

        Providence Exploration has been involved in exploration activities for the recovery of oil and gas from the Marble Falls and Barnett Shale formations in the Fort Worth basin and from the Ellenburger carbonate, Strawn carbonate and Pennsylvanian-Wolfcamp sandstone reservoirs in Val Verde County. The Fort Worth basin prospects included approximately 7,374 acres of oil and gas leases and the Val Verde County prospects include approximately 12,832 acres of oil and gas leases. Providence        Exploration has a 90% working interest and its joint venture operating partner, Harding Company, has a 10% working interest in the Fort Worth basin projects.

        As of June 30, 2008 the full value of the Fort Worth basin prospects and the Comanche County Pipeline LLC had been impaired due to a failure to produce commercial quantities of oil or gas from the prospects that lead to the expiration of the leases.

        The Company is considered a development stage company as defined in SFAS No. 7.

Note 1 — Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows at June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2008 and for the periods then ended have        been made.

        Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted.  It is suggested that these interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s December 31, 2007 audited financial statements.  The results of operations for the periods ended June        30, 2008 and June 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

Oil and Gas Leases Not Subject to Amortization

Oil and gas lease costs were recorded at cost and consisted of 7,374.5 acres of land leases in North Eastern Texas in the Barnett Shale Formation, impaired as of June 30, 2008 and 12,847.2 acres of land leases in Southwest Texas in Val Verde County. The leases are undeveloped at June 30, 2008, and accordingly no depletion is included in the        accompanying consolidated financial statements.

        The Company follows the full cost method of accounting for exploration and development of oil and gas properties whereby all costs in acquiring, exploring and developing properties are capitalized, including estimate of abandonment costs, net of estimated equipment salvage costs. Prior to acquisition on September 29, 2006, Providence Exploration capitalized $3,278,647 in exploration costs, which costs have now been impaired. No costs related to production, general corporate overhead, or        similar activities were capitalized. As of June 30, 2008, the Company only has capitalized costs of unproved properties acquired and related exploration costs in connection with the Val Verde County leases. Leasehold costs are depleted based on the units-of-production method based on estimated proved reserves. No proved reserves currently exist for the Company and therefore no depletion has been taken as of June 30, 2008.

Intangible Assets

Costs associated with the acquisition of definite life intangibles are capitalized and amortized over their useful life. Costs of property acquisition, exploration and development are capitalized and subjected to a quarterly impairment (ceiling) test, based on the net present value of proved reserves on the property. Management will write this intangible down to its net realizable value at the time impairment appears to exist. During fiscal 2007, management        determined that due to the dry holes experienced to date, that the carrying values of the Company’s oil and gas leases and its oil and gas pipeline exceeded the ceiling test amounts pursuant to Regulation S-X, Rule 4-10. Accordingly, the Company recorded impairment charges of $17,881,092 and $1,509,734 on the leases and pipeline respectively. During fiscal 2008, the Company recorded impairment charges of $2,000,000 on the leases.

Note 1 — Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

        Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. At June 30, 2008, the Company had $1,108,091 in bank deposit accounts. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.

Stock-Based Compensation

On June 13, 2008, the Company adopted the 2008 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan provides eligible persons the opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in the corporation through the grant of up to 2,000,000 incentive stock options (“ISO”) and 23,000,000 non-statutory stock options (“NSO”). No option shall have a term in excess of 10 years measured from the option grant date

Earnings Per Share

The numerator for the earnings per share calculation is the net loss for the period. The denominator is the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period.

        The computation of diluted earnings per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period plus the common stock equivalents which would arise from the exercise or conversion of warrants, options and convertible securities, if any, using the treasury stock method. The Company had 7,267,650 stock equivalents of warrants at June 30, 2008 that were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share. The Company had 4,650,000 options        outstanding at June 30, 2008 under the 2008 Stock Option Plan. Common stock equivalents are not included in the diluted earnings per share calculation when their effect is antidilutive.

        Note 2 — Going Concern        As of June 30, 2008, the Company’s revenue generating activities are not in place, and the Company has incurred losses of $42,976,663 since inception. This factor raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.                 We anticipate that additional funding may be required in the next twelve months and that it will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock. However, we do not have any financing arranged and we cannot provide investors with firm assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funding from the sale of our common stock to fund our plan of operations in the event that such funding becomes necessary.

It requires expanded disclosures about contracts, and recognition of claim liability prior to an event of default when there is evidence that credit deterioration has occurred in an insured financial obligation. It also requires disclosure about (a) the risk-management activities used by an insurance enterprise to evaluate        credit deterioration in its insured financial obligations, and (b) the insurance enterprise's surveillance or watch list. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 163.

In May 2008, FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) APB 14-1, “Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)” (“FSP APB 14-1”). FSP APB 14-1 clarifies that convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon        either mandatory or optional conversion (including partial cash settlement) are not addressed by paragraph 12 of APB Opinion No. 14, “Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt issued with Stock Purchase Warrants.”                 Additionally, FSP APB 14-1 specifies that issuers of such instruments should separately account for the liability and equity components in a manner that will reflect the entity’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized in subsequent periods. FSP APB 14-1 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We will adopt FSP APB 14-1 beginning in the first        quarter of 2009, and this standard must be applied on a retrospective basis. We are evaluating the impact the adoption of FSP APB 14-1 will have on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.         

On May 8, 2008, FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, which will provide framework for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are presented in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for nongovernmental        entities. With the issuance of SFAS No. 162, the GAAP hierarchy for nongovernmental entities will move from auditing literature to accounting literature. The Company is currently assessing the impact of SFAS No. 162 on its financial position and results of operations.

In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets” (“FSP 142-3”). FSP 142-3 amends the factors an entity should consider in developing renewal or extension assumptions used in determining the useful life of recognized intangible assets under FASB Statement No. 142,        “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. This new guidance applies prospectively to intangible assets that are acquired individually or with a group of other assets in business combinations and asset acquisitions. FSP 142-3 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is prohibited. We are currently evaluating the impact, if any, that FSP 142-3 will have on our consolidated financial        statements.

**PROVIDENCE RESOURCES INC.            (A Development Stage Company)            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS            June 30, 2008 and 2007**

Note 13 — Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)

In March 2008, FASB issued SFAS 161 which amends and expands the disclosure requirements of SFAS 133 to provide an enhanced understanding of an entity’s use of derivative instruments, how they are accounted for under SFAS 133 and their effect on the entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash        flows. The provisions of SFAS 161 are effective for the period beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company is currently reviewing the effect, if any, that the adoption of this statement will have on the Company’s financial statements.

In December 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised), Business Combinations. This revision statements objective is to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its effects on recognizing identifiable assets and measuring goodwill. The adoption of SFAS 141        (revised) did not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Note 14— Subsequent Events

Subsequent to the period, Providence Exploration entered into a prospect participation and joint operating agreement on July 31, 2008 with Elm Ridge, whereby Elm Ridge acquired a 50% interest in the Val Verde leases at the close of the agreement on August 8, 2008. Under the agreement the Company received a payment of $7,212,000 (including a        credit for the $100,000 paid as a non-refundable option) and will be carried on the first two Ellenberger wells by Elm Ridge for $2,000,000. The Company and Elm Ridge have further agreed to hire R.K. Ford & Associates, Inc., for the initial drilling program.

**Supplemental Oil and Gas Information – FAS69**

The following unaudited disclosures on standardized measures of discounted cash flows and changes therein relating to proved oil and gas reserves are determined in accordance with United States Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 69 “Disclosures About Oil and Gas Producing Activities”.

*Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows and Changes Therein*

In calculating the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows, year-end constant prices and cost assumptions were applied to the Company’s annual future production from proved reserves to determine cash inflows. Future production and development costs are based on constant price assumptions and assume the continuation of existing economic,        operating and regulatory conditions. Future income taxes are calculated by applying statutory income tax rates to future pre-tax cash flows after provision for the tax cost of oil and natural gas properties based upon existing laws and regulations. The discount was computed by application of a 10 percent discount factor to the future net cash flows. The calculation of the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows is based upon discounted future net cash flows prepared by        the Company’s independent qualified reserve evaluators in relation to the reserves they respectively evaluated, and adjusted by the Company to account for management’s estimate obligations and future income taxes. The Company cautions that the discounted future net cash flows relating to proved oil and gas reserves are an indication of neither the fair market value of the Company’s oil and gas properties, nor of the future net cash flows expected to be generated from        such properties. The discounted future net cash flows do not include the fair market value of exploratory properties and probable or possible oil and gas reserves, nor is consideration given to the effect of anticipated future changes in crude oil and natural gas prices, development, asset retirement and production costs, and possible changes to tax and royalty regulations. The prescribed discount rate of 10 percent may not appropriately reflect future interest rates. The        Company’s projections should not be interpreted as being equivalent to fair market value.

**Supplemental Oil and Gas Information – FAS69 (continued)**

|  | *(1)     * | *Definitions:* |
|--|-------------------------------------|----------------|

*a.     “Net*” reserves are the remaining reserves of the Company, after deduction of estimated royalties and including royalty interests.

*b.     “Proved oil and gas reserves.”*Proved oil and gas reserves are the estimated quantities of crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids which geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs        under existing economic

and operating conditions, i.e. prices and costs as of the date the estimate is made. Prices include consideration of changes in existing prices provided only by contractual arrangements, but not on escalations based upon future conditions.

Reservoirs are considered proved if economic product ability is supported by either actual production or conclusive formation test. The area of a reservoir considered proved includes that portion delineated by drilling and defined by gas-oil and /or oil-water contacts, if any; and the immediately adjoining portions not yet drilled, but which can be reasonably        judged as economically productive on the basis of available geological and engineering data. In the absence of information on fluid contacts, the lowest known structural occurrence of hydrocarbons controls the lower proved limit of the reservoir.

|  | i.      | Reserves which can be produced economically through application of improved recovery techniques (such as fluid injection) are included in the “proved” classification when successful testing by a pilot project, or the operation of an installed program in the reservoir, provides support for the engineering analysis on which the project or program was                    based. |
|--|----------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|  | ii.      | Estimates of proved reserves do not include the following: |
|--|-----------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------|

Oil that may become available from known reservoirs but is classified separately as “indicated additional reserves”;                 Crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids, the recovery of which is subject to reasonable doubt because of uncertainty as to geology, reservoir characteristics, or economic factors;

Crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids, that may occur in undrilled prospects; and                 Crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids, that may be recovered from oil shales, coal, gilsonite and other such sources.

**Supplemental Oil and Gas Information – FAS69 (continued)**

*c.     “Proved developed oil and gas reserves.”*Proved developed oil and gas reserves are reserves that can be expected to be recovered through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods. Additional oil and gas expected to be obtained through the application of        fluid injection or other improved recovery techniques for supplementing the natural forces and mechanisms of primary recovery should be included as “proved developed reserves” only after testing by a pilot project or after the operation of an installed

program has confirmed through production response that increased recovery will be achieved.

*d.     “Proved undeveloped reserves.”*Proved undeveloped oil and gas reserves are reserves that are expected to be recovered from new wells on undrilled acreage, or from existing wells where a relatively major expenditure is required for recompletion. Reserves on undrilled        acreage shall be limited to those drilling units offsetting productive unites that are reasonably certain of production when drilled. Proved reserves for other undrilled unites can be claimed

only where it can be demonstrated with certainty that there is continuity of production from the existing productive formation. Under no circumstances should estimates, for proved undeveloped reserves be attributable to any acreage for which an application of fluid injection or other improved recovery technique is contemplated, unless such techniques have        been proved effective by actual tests in the area and in the same reservoir.

*(2) The Company does not file any estimates of total net proved crude oil or natural gas reserves with any U.S. federal authority or agency other than the SEC.*

**Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows Related to Proved Oil and Gas Reserves                                 **

The Company has no proved reserves and no oil and gas production and therefore has not presented the Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows or operating results.

**Item 2.     ****MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS**

This*Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and**Results of Operations*and other parts of this quarterly report contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.        Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “believes,” “plans,” “predicts,” and similar terms. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and our actual results may differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such differences include but are not limited to those discussed in the subsection        entitled*Forward-Looking Statements and Factors That May Affect Future Results and Financial Condition*below. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto included in this report. Our fiscal year end is December 31. All information presented herein is based on the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008.

**Discussion and Analysis**

The Company is involved in oil and gas exploration through its wholly owned subsidiary, Providence Exploration, LLC (“Providence Exploration”) in Val Verde County, Texas.

***Val Verde County***

The Company’s interests in Val Verde County include 12,832 acres of oil and gas leases containing multiple target zones within a large structure delineated by prior seismic and drilling in the area. The Val Verde leases lie along a trend that has produced from multiple large gas fields, including the Gomez field, which has produced 10.6        trillion cubic feet to date, the Brown Bassett, which has produced 1.6 trillion cubic feet to date, and the JM Field, which has produced 650 billion cubic feet to date.

In 2007 we performed an extensive 3D-seismic acquisition program on our Val Verde leases, supervised and interpreted by TRNCO Petroleum Corporation of Midland, Texas. From these results we have identified about 25 drilling targets. Our initial two well drilling program will target the Ellenberger formation at a depth of around 16,000 feet.        Drilling is scheduled to begin on or before October 1, 2008.

On June 5, 2008, the Company entered into an option agreement with Elm Ridge Exploration Company, LLC (“Elm Ridge”) of New Mexico. Under the terms of the agreement, Elm Ridge paid a non-refundable fee of $100,000 for the right to a 30-day option to acquire a 50% interest in the Val Verde leases. On July 31, 2008 Providence Exploration        signed a prospect participation and joint operating agreement with Elm Ridge entitling Elm Ridge to acquire a 50% interest in the Val Verde leases. On August 8, 2008 the prospect participation and joint operating agreement closed on the Company’s receipt of $7,212,000 (including a credit for the $100,000 paid as a non-refundable option) and Elm Ridge’s commitment to carry the Company for $2,000,000 on the first two Ellenberger wells. The Company and Elm Ridge have further        agreed to hire R.K. Ford & Associates, Inc., a Midland Texas based drilling and completion company, for the initial drilling program.         

***Comanche and Hamilton Counties***

The Company’s interests in Comanche and Hamilton Counties included 7,374 acres of oil and gas leases. Seismic work was completed on the leases in 2006 to identify prospective drill targets. Harding Company drilled four wells none of which wells indicated commercial quantities of gas. All four wells have now been abandoned and these leases        which have been fully impaired at June 30, 2008.

***Additional Discussion and Analysis***

The Company’s business development strategy is prone to significant risks and uncertainties certain of which could have an immediate impact on its efforts to generate a positive net cash flow and could deter the anticipated expansion of its initial drilling program. Historically, the Company has not generated sufficient cash flow to sustain operations and        has had to rely on debt or equity financing to remain in business. Therefore, we cannot offer that future expectations of oil and gas production will prove correct or that any production realized will be sufficient to generate the revenue required for our continued operation. Should we be unable to generate sufficient cash flow from our anticipated drill program, the Company may be forced to sell assets or seek additional debt or equity financing, as alternatives to the cessation of        operations. The success of such measures can in no way be assured.

**Results of Operations**

During the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company was involved in evaluating seismic data obtained from the Val Verde leases, identifying prospective partners for the prospective drilling program, addressing outstanding issues related to the Hamilton and Comanche exploration and development program, concluding an option agreement with Elm Ridge in        anticipation of concluding the prospect participation and joint operating agreement, and satisfying continuous public disclosure requirements.

While we expect to begin oil and gas drilling operations on our Val Verde leases on or before October 1, 2008, we can provide no assurance that such operations will produce economically recoverable quantities of oil and gas. 

***Net Losses***         For the period from inception until June 30, 2008, the Company incurred net losses of $42,976,663. Net losses for the three month period ended June 30, 2008 were $3,861,457 as compared to $731,243 for the three month period ended June 30, 2007. Net losses for the six month period ended June 30, 2008 were $4,857,704 as compared to $1,008,817 for the six month period ended June 30, 2007. The increase in net losses over the comparative periods can be primarily attributed to an increase in        general and administrative expenses, interest expenses, and an impairment of capital assets. We have not generated any revenue during the current period.                 We will likely continue to operate at a loss through fiscal 2008 and due to the nature of the Company’s oil and gas exploration and development operations cannot determine whether we will ever generate revenues from operations.         

***Expenses***         General and administrative expenses for the three month period ended June 30, 2008 were $1,169,258 as compared to $292,539 for the three month period ended June 30, 2007. General and administrative expenses for the six month period ended June 30, 2008 were $1,357,277 as compared to $513,008 for the six month period ended June 30, 2007. The increase in general and administrative expenses over the comparative periods can be primarily attributed to the expense related to the grant of stock        options to our executive officer. We expect general and administrative expenses to decrease in future periods.

***Other Income (Expenses)***

Other expenses for the three month period ended June 30, 2008 were $2,692,199 as compared to $438,704 for the three month period ended June 30, 2007. Other expenses for the six month period ended June 30, 2008 were $3,500,427 as compared to $495,809 for the six month period ended June 30, 2007. The increase in other expenses over the comparative        periods can be attributed to the increase in interest expense as well as the $2,000,000 impairment on our oil and gas leases Comanche and Hamilton Counties offset by the $100,000 non-refundable option payment received from Elm Ridge.

         

***Income Tax Expense (Benefit)***

The Company has a prospective income tax benefit resulting from a net operating loss carryforward and start up costs that will offset any future operating profit.

***Impact of Inflation***

The Company believes that inflation has had an effect on operations due to the increased interest in oil and gas exploration over the last three years which has increased prices for labor, maintenance services and equipment. We believe that we can offset inflationary increases by improving operating efficiencies.

***Capital Expenditures***

The Company has spent significant amounts on capital expenditures for the period from February 17, 1993 (inception) to June 30, 2008 on unproved oil and gas properties, pipeline construction, and related exploration costs.

***Liquidity and Capital Resources***

        The Company has been in the development stage since inception and has experienced significant changes in liquidity, capital resources, and stockholders’ equity.                 At June 30, 2008, the company’s working capital deficit was $685,386. The Company had current assets of $1,358,091 as of June 30, 2008 which consisted of cash on hand of $1,108,091 and a note receivable of $250,000. We had total assets of $13,473,676 which included undeveloped oil and gas leases. Our current liabilities were $2,043,477, including accounts payable of $1,082,969, accrued expenses of $877,508, and related party payables of $83,000. Our total liabilities were        $8,012,767, including convertible debentures of $3,320,000, convertible promissory notes of $1,949,290, and notes payable of $700,000. Stockholders equity in the Company was $5,309,936 as of June 30, 2008.                 For the period from inception until June 30, 2008, the Company’s cash flow used in operating activities was $4,543,392. Cash flows used in operating activities for the six month period ended June 30, 2008 were $157,484 compared to cash flows provided by operating activities of $51,464 for the six month period ended June 30, 2007. The cash flows used in operating activities during the current period is due primarily to net losses and related party payables. Depreciation and        amortization for the six month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was $2,020,399 and $16,200 respectively.                 For the period from inception until June 30, 2008, the Company’s cash flow used in investing activities was $17,582,021. Cash flows provided by investing activities for the six month period ended June 30, 2008 were $100,000 compared to cash flows used in investing activities of $3,835,697 for the six month period ended June 30, 2007. Cash flows provided by investing activities in the current period are from cash collected from a note receivable in connection with the sale of a rig        and related equipment.

For the period from inception until June 30, 2008, the Company’s cash flow provided by financing activities was $23,233,504. Cash flows provided by financing activities for the six month period ended June 30, 2008 were $0 compared to $2,700,456 for the six month period ended June 30, 2007.                 We have funded our cash needs from inception primarily through a series of debt and equity transactions, including several private placements. We do not believe that our current assets are sufficient to conduct our exploration and development activities over the next twelve months. No assurances can be given that additional funding, needed to explore and develop our lease interests, will be available to us on acceptable terms or at all. Our inability to obtain funding would have a        material adverse affect on our business.         

 

 

Cash dividends are not expected to be paid in the foreseeable future.                 The Company had no lines of credit or other bank financing arrangements as of June 30, 2008.                 Commitments for future capital expenditures to the Company’s anticipated drill program were material at quarter-end.                 The Company has a defined benefit plan and contractual commitments with certain of its officers or directors.                 The Company has no current plans for the purchase or sale of any plant or equipment.                 The Company has no current plans to make any changes in the number of employees.

***Off Balance Sheet Arrangements***

As of June 30, 2008, the Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources that is material to stockholders.

***Going Concern***

The Company’s audit expressed substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern due to significant losses from operations and dependence on financings to sustain operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.         

Our ability to continue as a going concern requires that we either realize net income from operations or obtain funding from outside sources. Since our business plan cannot assure revenue within the next twelve months, management’s plan to maintain our ability to continue as a going concern includes: (i) the private placement of debt or        equity; (ii) entering into joint venture agreements to fund exploration and development; (iii) realizing prospective oil and gas revenues; (iv) obtaining shareholder loans; and (v) converting existing debt to equity.         

Although management believes that they will be able to obtain the funding necessary for us to continue as a going concern there can be no assurances that the anticipated means for maintaining this objective will prove successful.

***Forward Looking Statements and Factors That May Affect Future Results and Financial Condition***

The statements contained in the section titled*Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and**Results of Operations*and elsewhere in this current report, with the exception of historical facts, are        forward looking statements. Forward looking statements reflect our current expectations and beliefs regarding our future results of operations, performance, and achievements. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties and are based upon assumptions and beliefs that may or may not materialize. These statements include, but are not limited to, statements concerning:

         

|  | ·      | our anticipated financial performance; |
|--|----------------------------------------|----------------------------------------|

|  | ·      | uncertainties related to oil and gas exploration and development; |
|--|----------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------|

|  | ·      | our ability to generate revenues through oil and gas production to fund future operations; |
|--|----------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|  | ·      | our ability to raise additional capital to fund cash requirements for future operations; and |
|--|----------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|  | ·      | the volatility of the stock market and general economic conditions. |
|--|----------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------|

We wish to caution readers that our operating results are subject to various risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those discussed or anticipated, including the factors set forth in the section entitled*Risk Factors*included elsewhere        in this report. We also wish to advise readers not to place any undue reliance on the forward looking statements contained in this report, which reflect our beliefs and expectations only as of the date of this report. We assume no obligation to update or revise these forward looking statements to reflect new events or circumstances or any changes in our beliefs or expectations, other that is required by law.         

***Stock-Based Compensation*We have adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004) (SFAS No. 123R), Share-Based Payment, which addresses the accounting for stock-based payment transactions in which an enterprise receives employee services in exchange for (a) equity instruments of the enterprise or (b) liabilities that are based on the fair value of the enterprise’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity        instruments. In January 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission (Commission) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 107, which provides supplemental implementation guidance for SFAS No. 123R. SFAS No. 123R eliminates the ability to account for stock-based compensation transactions using the intrinsic value method under Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and instead generally requires that such transactions be accounted        for using a fair-value-based method. We use the Black-Scholes-Merton (“BSM”) option-pricing model to determine the fair-value of stock-based awards under SFAS No. 123R, consistent with that used for pro forma disclosures under SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. We have elected the modified prospective transition method as permitted by SFAS No. 123R and accordingly prior periods have not been restated to reflect the impact of SFAS No. 123R. The modified        prospective transition method requires that stock-based compensation expense be recorded for all new and unvested stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, and employee stock purchase plan shares that are ultimately expected to vest as the requisite service is rendered beginning on January 1, 2006, the first day of our fiscal year 2006. Stock-based compensation expense for awards granted prior to January 1, 2006 is based on the grant date fair-value as determined under        the pro forma provisions of SFAS No. 123. Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123R, we measured compensation expense for our employee stock-based compensation plans using the intrinsic value method prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25. We applied the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123 as amended by SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure, as if the fair-value-based method had been applied in measuring compensation expense. Under APB Opinion        No. 25, when the exercise price of the Company’s employee stock options was equal to the market price of the underlying stock on the date of the grant, no compensation expense was recognized.**

**We account for equity instruments issued in exchange for the receipt of goods or services from other than employees in accordance with SFAS No. 123 and the conclusions reached by the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) in Issue No. 96-18. Costs are measured at the estimated        fair market value of the consideration received or the estimated fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The value of equity instruments issued for consideration other than employee services is determined on the earliest of a performance commitment or completion of performance by the provider of goods or services as defined by EITF 96-18.**

***2008 Stock Option Plan***

On June 13, 2008, the board of directors approved the Company’s 2008 Stock Option Plan (“Plan”) for which the Company is currently seeking stockholder approval. The Plan is intended to promote the interests of Company by providing eligible persons with the opportunity to acquire or increase their proprietary interest in the        Company as an incentive for them to continue their employment or service. The maximum number of shares of common stock that may be issued over the ten (10) year term of the Plan cannot exceed twenty five million (25,000,000) shares, two million (2,000,000) of which may be issued as incentive stock options (“ISO”) and twenty three million (23,000,000) may be issued as non-statutory stock options (“NSO”). Employees are eligible for ISOs and NSOs under the Plan.        Non-employee members of the board of directors and consultants are eligible for NSOs. If stockholder approval is not obtained, no options may be exercised under the Plan. The Company has granted up to 16,187,500 options under the Plan to date, pending stockholder approval.

***Critical Accounting Policies***         In the notes to the audited consolidated financial statements for the Company for the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company’s auditors discussed those accounting policies that are considered to be significant in determining the results of operations and financial position. The Company’s auditors believe that their accounting principles conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.                 The preparation of financial statements requires management to make significant estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. By their nature, these judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to bad debts, inventories, intangible assets, warranty obligations, product liability, revenue, and income taxes. We base our estimates on historical        experience and other facts and circumstances that are believed to be reasonable, and the results form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities. The actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.         

***Revenue Recognition***         Revenues are recorded upon the completion of the services, with the existence of an agreement and where collectability is reasonably assured. Oil and natural gas production revenue, if any, will be recognized at the time and point of sale after the product has been extracted from the ground.

*Recent Accounting Pronouncements*

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) has issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 163, Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts. SFAS No. 163 clarifies how SFAS No. 60, Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises, applies to        financial guarantee insurance contracts issued by insurance enterprises, and addresses the recognition and measurement of premium revenue and claim liabilities. It requires expanded disclosures about contracts, and recognition of claim liability prior to an event of default when there is evidence that credit deterioration has occurred in an insured financial obligation. It also requires disclosure about (a) the risk-management activities used by an insurance enterprise to evaluate        credit deterioration in its insured financial obligations, and (b) the insurance enterprise's surveillance or watch list. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 163.         

In May 2008, FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) APB 14-1, “Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)” (“FSP APB 14-1”). FSP APB 14-1 clarifies that convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon        either mandatory or optional conversion (including partial cash settlement) are not addressed by paragraph 12 of APB Opinion No. 14, “Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt issued with Stock Purchase Warrants.”                 Additionally, FSP APB 14-1 specifies that issuers of such instruments should separately account for the liability and equity components in a manner that will reflect the entity’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized in subsequent periods. FSP APB 14-1 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We will adopt FSP APB 14-1 beginning in the first        quarter of 2009, and this standard must be applied on a retrospective basis. We are evaluating the impact the adoption of FSP APB 14-1 will have on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.         

On May 8, 2008, FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, which will provide framework for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are presented in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for nongovernmental        entities. With the issuance of SFAS No. 162, the GAAP hierarchy for nongovernmental entities will move from auditing literature to accounting literature. The Company is currently assessing the impact of SFAS No. 162 on its financial position and results of operations.

In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets” (“FSP 142-3”). FSP 142-3 amends the factors an entity should consider in developing renewal or extension assumptions used in determining the useful life of recognized intangible assets under FASB Statement No. 142,        “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. This new guidance applies prospectively to intangible assets that are acquired individually or with a group of other assets in business combinations and asset acquisitions. FSP 142-3 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is prohibited. We are currently evaluating the impact, if any, that FSP 142-3 will have on our consolidated financial        statements.         

In March 2008, FASB issued SFAS 161 which amends and expands the disclosure requirements of SFAS 133 to provide an enhanced understanding of an entity’s use of derivative instruments, how they are accounted for under SFAS 133 and their effect on the entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash        flows. The provisions of SFAS 161 are effective for the period beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company is currently reviewing the effect, if any, that the adoption of this statement will have on the Company’s financial statements.

**ITEM 3.     QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK**

Not required.

**ITEM 4T.     CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES**

***Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures***

        In connection with the preparation of this report on Form 10-Q, an evaluation was carried out by the Company’s management, with the participation of the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”)). Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information        required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.                 Based on that evaluation, the Company’s management concluded, as of the end of the period covered by this report, that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in recording, processing, summarizing, and reporting information required to be disclosed, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms.

***Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting***

There have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during theperiodendedJune 30, 2008, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

**PART II – OTHER INFORMATION**

**ITEM 1.     LEGAL PROCEEDINGS         **

None.         

**ITEM 1A.     RISK FACTORS         **

Our future operating results are highly uncertain. Before deciding to invest in us or to maintain or increase your investment, you should carefully consider the risks described below, in addition to the other information contained in this annual report. If any of these risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be        seriously harmed. In that event, the market price for our common stock could decline and you may lose all or part of your investment.         

**Risks Related to the Company’s Business**

 

***The Company has a history of operating losses and such losses may continue in the future.***

        Since the Company’s inception in 1993, our operations have resulted in a continuation of losses. We will continue to incur operating losses until such time as we begin producing oil and gas revenue, which may or may not eventuate. Should the Company fail to produce oil and gas revenue we may continue to operate at a loss and might never becomeprofitable.

***The Company has a history of uncertainty about continuing as a going concern.***

        The Company’s audits for the periods ended December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 expressed substantial doubt as to its ability to continue as a going concern due to our dependence on financings as well the accumulation of significant losses of $38,118,959 as of December 31, 2007 which amount increased to $42,976,663 as of June 30, 2008. Unless we are able to overcome our dependence on financings and begin to generate revenue from operations, our ability to continue as a going        concern will be in jeopardy.         

***The Company has a limited operating history as an oil and gas exploration company.***

        The Company acquired Providence Exploration on September 29, 2006, which company first began oil and gas exploration operations during the fourth quarter of 2005. As such, our limited operating history in the oil and gas exploration sector provides an inadequate track record from which to base future projections of success.         

***The Company cannot represent that it will be successful in continuing operations.***

        The Company has not, to date, generated revenue from operations and may not generate revenue over the next twelve months. Should the Company be unable to realize revenue over the next twelve months, it will be forced to continue to raise capital to remain in operation. We have no commitments for the provision of additional capital and can offer no assurance that such capital will be available as necessary to sustain operations.         

**Risks Related to the Oil and Gas Industry**

 

***Oil and natural gas drilling and producing operations involve risks which could result in net losses.***

        Drilling activities are subject to many risks, including the risk that no commercially productive reservoirs will be discovered. Wells which we drill may not be productive, and, thus, we may not be able to recover all or any portion of our investment in such wells. Drilling for oil and natural gas may involve unprofitable efforts, not only from dry wells, but also from wells that are productive but do not produce sufficient net reserves to return a profit after deducting drilling,        operating and other costs. The seismic data and other technologies which we use do not allow us to know conclusively prior to drilling a well that oil or natural gas is present or may be produced economically. The cost of drilling, completing and operating a well is often uncertain, and cost factors can reduce the feasibility of a project to produce a profit. Further, our drilling operations may be curtailed, delayed or canceled as a result of numerous factors, including:          

|  | ·      | unexpected drilling conditions; |
|--|----------------------------------------|---------------------------------|

|  | ·      | title problems; |
|--|----------------------------------------|-----------------|

|  | ·      | pressure or irregularities in formations; |
|--|----------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------|

|  | ·      | equipment failures or accidents; |
|--|----------------------------------------|----------------------------------|

|  | ·      | adverse weather conditions; |
|--|----------------------------------------|-----------------------------|

|  | ·      | compliance with environmental and other governmental requirements; and |
|--|----------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|  | ·      | cost of, or shortages or delays in the availability of, drilling rigs, equipment and services. |
|--|----------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Our operations are subject to all the risks normally incident to the operation and development of oil and natural gas properties and the drilling of oil and natural gas wells, including:

Return to Table of Contents

----

|  | ·      | encountering well blowouts; |
|--|----------------------------------------|-----------------------------|

|  | ·      | cratering and explosions; |
|--|----------------------------------------|---------------------------|

|  | ·      | pipe failure; |
|--|----------------------------------------|---------------|

|  | ·      | fires; |
|--|----------------------------------------|--------|

|  | ·      | formations with abnormal pressures resulting in uncontrollable flows of oil and natural gas; |
|--|----------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|  | ·      | brine or well fluids; and |
|--|----------------------------------------|---------------------------|

|  | ·      | release of contaminants into the environment and other environmental hazards and risks. |
|--|----------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

The nature of these risks is such that some liabilities including environmental fines and penalties could exceed our ability to pay for the damages. We could incur significant costs due to these risks that could result in net losses.         

***The Company is subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations which could create liability for personal injuries, property damage, and environmental damages.  ***

 

Exploration and development, exploitation, production and sale of oil and natural gas in the United States is subject to extensive federal, state and local laws and regulations, including complex tax laws and environmental laws and regulations. Existing laws or regulations, as currently interpreted or reinterpreted in the future, or future laws or regulations        could harm the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition. We may be required to make large expenditures to comply with environmental and other governmental regulations. Matters subject to regulation include oil and gas production and saltwater disposal operations and our processing, handling and disposal of hazardous materials, such as hydrocarbons and naturally occurring radioactive materials, discharge permits for drilling operations, spacing of wells,        environmental protection, reports concerning operations, and taxation. Under these laws and regulations, we could be liable for personal injuries, property damage, oil spills, discharge of hazardous materials, reclamation costs, remediation, clean-up costs and other environmental damages.         

***Shortages of oil field equipment, services and qualified personnel could reduce the Company’s profit margin, cash flow and operating results.  ***

 

The demand for qualified and experienced field personnel to drill wells and conduct field operations, geologists, geophysicists, engineers and other professionals in the oil and natural gas industry can fluctuate significantly, often in correlation with oil and natural gas prices, causing periodic shortages. There have also been shortages of drilling rigs and        other equipment, as demand for rigs and equipment has increased along with the number of wells being drilled. These factors also cause significant increases in costs for equipment, services and personnel. Higher oil and natural gas prices generally stimulate increased demand and result in increased prices for drilling rigs, crews and associated supplies, equipment and services. We cannot be certain when or if we will experience these issues and these types of shortages or price        increases which could significantly decrease any profit margin, cash flow and operating results on any particular well or restrict our ability to drill additional wells.

***The results of the Company’s current operations depend on the exploration and operational efforts of TRNCO Petroleum Corporation, Dawson Geophysical, Fairfield Industries, and certain consultants, all of whom are third parties.  ***

 

Exploration efforts through seismic exploration, processing and interpretation in Val Verde County have been provided by TRNCO Petroleum Corporation, Dawson Geophysical, Fairfield Industries, Sam Ting and Bill Purves, while drilling on the leases will be conducted by a third party.Exploration and operational        efforts through seismic exploration, drilling and operation in Comanche and Hamilton Counties were provided by Harding Company. Despite being experienced in their respective fields, our dependence on third parties to initiate, determine and conduct operations could impede our own prospect of success.

***Oil and natural gas prices are volatile, and any substantial decrease in prices could cause the Company to continue to operate at a loss in the event that we are successful in producing oil and gas.  ***

        Our future financial condition, results of operations and the carrying value of our oil and natural gas properties will depend primarily upon the prices we receive for production. Oil and natural gas prices historically have been volatile and are likely to continue to be volatile in the future. Our cash flow from operations will be highly dependent on the prices that we receive for oil and natural gas. This price volatility also affects the amount of cash flow available for capital        expenditures and our ability to borrow money or raise additional capital. The prices for oil and natural gas are subject to a variety of additional factors that are beyond our control. These factors include:          

|  | ·      | the level of consumer demand; |
|--|----------------------------------------|-------------------------------|

|  | ·      | the domestic supply; |
|--|----------------------------------------|----------------------|

|  | ·      | domestic governmental regulations and taxes; |
|--|----------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------|

|  | ·      | the price and availability of alternative fuel sources; |
|--|----------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------|

|  | ·      | weather conditions; and |
|--|----------------------------------------|-------------------------|

|  | ·      | market uncertainty. |
|--|----------------------------------------|---------------------|

These factors and the volatility of the energy markets generally make it extremely difficult to predict future oil and natural gas price movements with any certainty. Declines in oil and natural gas prices would not only reduce future revenue, but could reduce the amount of oil and natural gas that we can produce economically and, as a result, could cause us to        continue to operate at a loss. Should the oil and natural gas industry experience significant price declines, we may continue to operate at a loss even if we produce oil or gas.

**Risks Related to the Company’s Stock**

***The Company will require additional capital funding.***

        The Company will require additional funds, either through equity offerings, debt placements or joint ventures to develop our operations. Such additional capital may result in dilution to our current shareholders. Our ability to meet short-term and long-term financial commitments depends on future cash. There can be no assurance that future income will generate sufficient funds to enable us to meet our financial commitments.

***The market for our stock is limited and our stock price may be volatile.***

        The market for our common stock has been limited due to low trading volume and the small number of brokerage firms acting as market makers. Because of the limitations of our market and volatility of the market price of our stock, investors may face difficulties in selling shares at attractive prices when they want to. The average daily trading volume for our stock has varied significantly from week to week and from month to month, and the trading volume often varies widely from day to        day.         

***We incur significant expenses as a result of being quoted on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board, which may negatively impact our financial performance.***         We incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses as a result of being listed on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as related rules implemented by the Commission, has required changes in corporate governance practices of public companies. We expect that compliance with these laws, rules and regulations, including compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 as discussed in the following risk factor, may substantially        increase our expenses, including our legal and accounting costs, and make some activities more time-consuming and costly. As a result, there may be a substantial increase in legal, accounting and certain other expenses in the future, which would negatively impact our financial performance and could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

***Our internal controls over financial reporting may not be considered effective in the future, which could result in a loss of investor confidence in our financial reports and in turn have an adverse effect on our stock price.***

        Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 we are required to furnish a report by our management on our internal controls over financial reporting. Such report must contain, among other matters, an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting as of the end of the year, including a statement as to whether or not our internal controls over financial reporting are effective. This assessment must include disclosure of any material        weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting identified by management. If we are unable to continue to assert that our internal controls are effective, our investors could lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which in turn could cause our stock price to decline.

***The Company’s shareholders may face significant restrictions on their stock.***

The Company’s stock differs from many stocks in that it is a “penny stock.” The Commission has adopted a number of rules to regulate “penny stocks” including, but not limited to, those rules from the Securities Act as follows:         

3a51-1     which defines penny stock as, generally speaking,those securities which are not listed on either NASDAQ or a national securities exchange and are priced under $5, excluding securities of issuers that have net tangible assets greater than $2 million if they have been in operation at least        three years, greater than $5 million if in operation less than three years, or average revenue of at least $6 million for the last three years;

15g-1     which outlines transactions by broker/dealers which are exempt from 15g-2 through 15g-6 as those whose commissions from traders are lower than 5% total commissions;

15g-2      which details that brokers must disclose risks of penny stock on Schedule 15G;

15g-3      which details that broker/dealers must disclose quotes and other information relating to the penny stock market;

15g-4      which explains that compensation of broker/dealers must be disclosed;

15g-5      which explains that compensation of persons associated in connection with penny stock sales must be disclosed;

15g-6      which outlines that broker/dealers must send out monthly account statements; and

15g-9     which defines sales practice requirements.

Since the Company’s securities constitute a “penny stock” within the meaning of the rules, the rules would apply to us and our securities. Because these rules provide regulatory burdens upon broker-dealers, they may affect the ability of shareholders to sell their securities in any market that may develop; the rules themselves may limit the        market for penny stocks. Additionally, the market among dealers may not be active. Investors in penny stock often are unable to sell stock back to the dealer that sold them the stock. The mark-ups or commissions charged by the broker-dealers may be greater than any profit a seller may make. Because of large dealer spreads, investors may be unable to sell the stock immediately back to the dealer at the same price the dealer sold the stock to the investor. In some cases, the stock may        fall quickly in value. Investors may be unable to reap any profit from any sale of the stock, if they can sell it at all.

Shareholders should be aware that, according to Commission Release No. 34-29093 dated April 17, 1991, the market for penny stocks has suffered from patterns of fraud and abuse. These patterns include:         

|  | ·      | control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; |
|--|----------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|  | ·      | manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; |
|--|----------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|  | ·      | “boiler room” practices involving high pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons; |
|--|----------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|  | ·      | excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and |
|--|----------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|  | ·      | the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the inevitable collapse of those prices with consequent investor losses. |
|--|----------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Regulation S provides generally that any offer or sale that occurs outside of the United States is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, provided that certain conditions are met. Regulation S has two safe harbors. One safe harbor applies to offers and sales by issuers, securities professionals involved        in the distribution process pursuant to contract, their respective affiliates, and persons acting on behalf of any of the foregoing (the “issuer safe harbor”), and the other applies to resales by persons other than the issuer, securities professionals involved in the distribution process pursuant to contract, their respective affiliates (except certain officers and directors), and persons acting on behalf of any of the forgoing (the “resale safe harbor”). An        offer, sale or resale of securities that satisfied all conditions of the applicable safe harbor is deemed to be outside the United States as required by Regulation S. The distribution compliance period for shares sold in reliance on Regulation S is six months.
