**(****An Exploratory****S****tage Company)            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS            March 31, 2009 and 2008**

Note 2 — Going Concern 

        As of March 31, 2009 the Company’s revenue generating activities were not in place, as a result the Company has negative cash flows from operations, and has incurred losses of approximately $46,000,000 since inception. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.                  We anticipate that additional funding will be required in the next twelve months in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock. However, we do not have any financing arranged and cannot provide prospective investors with anyassurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funding from the sale of our common stock to fund our plan of operations.                    

Note 3 — Note Receivable 

The Company’s outstandingnote receivable is from Central Basin Oil Investments, Inc. (“CBOI”). The note bears interest at 6% and is secured by a vehicle, a drilling rig and related equipmentsold to CBOI. The note is currently in default and is due on        demand.          

Note 4 – Convertible Debentures

The Company has issued seven convertible debenture certificates for the total principal sum of $3,320,000 due in full with accrued and unpaid interest on November 30, 2010. The interest accrues at a rate of 7.0% per annum and is payable on a semi-annual basis. The holders of the debentures have the right to convert all or part        of the principal and accrued interest into common shares of the Company at $0.35 per share at any time prior to maturity.

**(****An Exploratory****S****tage Company)            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS            March 31, 2009 and 2008**

Note 11 – Noncontrolling Interest         

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51 (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries        held by parties other than the parent, the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parent’s ownership interest, and the valuation of retained noncontrolling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. SFAS 160 also establishes disclosure requirements that clearly identify and distinguish between the interest of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. 

Pursuant to the transition provisions of SFAS 160, we adopted SFAS 160 on January 1, 2009 via retrospective application of the presentation and disclosure requirements. The noncontrolling interest recorded in our Consolidated Balance Sheets relates to a third party’s interest in our majority owned subsidiary, CCP. At        December 31, 2008, the noncontrolling interest balance of $150,973 that was previously recorded as a minority interest in the mezzanine section of the Consolidated Balance Sheets has been reclassified to noncontrolling interest in the equity section of the Consolidated Balance Sheets.         

Noncontrolling interest in the amount of $53,854 on the Consolidated Statement of Income for the cumulative period was originally presented before income tax expense. The retrospective presentation of SFAS 160 requires the noncontrolling interest to be presented after income tax expense, and we have presented noncontrolling        interest net of income tax expense for the cumulative period. There was no impact on net loss or the loss from continuing operations attributable to Providence Resources, Inc. or the net loss used in computing earnings per share.

**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 month periodended March 31, 2009.        

**Discussion and Analysis**

The Company is involved in oil and gas exploration through its wholly owned subsidiary, PREExploration, LLC (“PREExploration”).PRE Exploration holds up to a 50% working interest in 16,184 gross acres of oil and gas leases in Val Verde        County.The leases included underlying multiple oil and gas target zones delineated by 3D seismicdataand drilling in the area, along a trend that has produced from multiple large gas fields, including the Gomez field which has producedover10.6 trillion cubic feet to date, the Brown Bassett which has        produced over 1.6 trillion cubic feet to date,and the JM Field which has produced over 650 billion cubic feet to date.

Elm Ridge Exploration Company, LLC (“Elm Ridge”) holds 50% of the working interest in the Val Verde County leases which it acquired in 2008 in exchange for $7.212 million dollars and its commitment to carry PRE Exploration for an additional $2million on the initial two wells drilled to the        Ellenberger formation. Elm Ridge has met its commitments to the Company.

***Seismic Exploration***

        On March 27, 2007PRE Explorationengaged TRNCO Petroleum Corporationto implement an I/O two recording system using the latest in state-of-the-art acquisition andprocessing parameters to generate high quality 3D seismic data from the Val Verde County leases. Dawson Geophysical Company was concurrently engaged to obtain the actual 3D        seismic data while Fairfield Industries Incorporated was subsequently engaged to interpret the data in concert with consulting geologists familiar with the geophysical applications of seismic data.          

The 3D seismic data collected and interpreted illuminated deep gas targets at depths ranging from 14,000 to 16,000 feet in the Ellenberger carbonate, in addition to targets within the Strawn carbonate and Pennsylvanian-Wolfcamp sandstone reservoirs at lesser depths. PRE Exploration identified 25 prospective drilling locations within the Val Verde leases based on        this information.

***Drilling***

PREExploration and Elm Ridge engaged R.K Ford & Associates, Inc. (“R.K. Ford”) to drill two exploratory wells to the Ellenberger formation to test the structureat a depth of approximately 16,000 feet. R.K. Ford completed drilling theCarson 10-1in early March of 2009and the Carson12-1 in late Aprilof 2009. While there was some showing of natural gas to surface for each well, e logs confirmed that the primary targeted formations were not wet and that gas shows and reservoir fracture porosity were found throughout both Ellenberger        intervals. Formation evaluation and potential formation stimulation methods are now being assessed.

The assessment program involves the expertise of several consultants including Fairfield Industries of Houston, Texas, whose processing shop is working to provide a 3D inversion data set to better define the seismic properties surrounding the wells as well as updating the total prospect potential. Seismic inversion transforms seismic reflection data into        quantitative rock properties that can better describe the reservoir. Log data is being evaluated by McGinley and Associates, Inc of Texas. Once these assessments are complete a final determination of the potential of these two wells will be made.

***Strategy***

Over the next twelve months,based upon the results of the first two exploratory wells,the Company expects to focus on additional drilling targets for natural gas production in Val Verde County.

The Company’s business is prone to significant risks and uncertainties thathave an immediate impact on efforts to generate a positive cash flow and maydeter the anticipated expansion of ourinitial drilling program. Since we have no assurance        that future expectations of oil and gas production will be realized, or that revenue realized from such anticipated production will be sufficient to support our continued operation, we may well have to rely on debt or equity financing to remain in business. However, the Company has no commitments for additional debt or equity financing, so unless positive cash flow can be generated from operations, the future of our business remains uncertain. 

**Results of Operations**

During the three month period ended March 31, 2009 the Company was involved in (i) drilling the Carson 10-1 and Carson 12-1 wells in Val Verde County, (ii) initial assessment of drilling results,(iii) extending the terms of the Carson and Cole leasesand (iii) satisfying continuous public        disclosure requirements.

***Net******Losses***

 

For the period from inception until March 31, 2009the Company incurred net losses of $45,972,109. Net losses for the three monthsended March 31, 2009were $1,614,757as compared to net losses of $996,247for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The increasein net losses over the comparative periods canbe primarily attributed to an increase in general and administrative expenses. We did not generateany revenue during the current period.                  We will likely continue to operate at a loss through fiscal 2009 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.

***General and Administrative Expenses***

 

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2009were $865,654as compared to $188,019for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The increase in general and administrative expenses can be primarily attributedto an amount paid to extend the primary term of the Carson Lease in Val Verde County and an increase inlegal fees.General and administrative expenses also include financing costs, accounting costs, consulting fees, leases, employment costs, professional fees and costs associated with the preparation of disclosure documentation. We expect that overall general and administrative        expenses will decreaseeven though legal expenses are expected to increase throughthe resolution of outstanding legal proceedings.

***Other Income (Expense)***

Interest income for thethree months ended March 31, 2009increased to $10,258from $454for the three months ended March 31, 2008.          

Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2009decreased to $759,361from $808,682for the three months ended March 31, 2008.           

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

The Company may havea prospective income tax benefit resulting from a net operating loss carryforward and start up costs that wouldoffset any future operating profit.

***Impact of Inflation***

The Company believes that inflation has affectedoperations overthe last three yearsas the result of increases in labor costs, drillingservices and equipment. However, inflationary pressure has now abated and        pricing for services in the field is on the decline. Therefore, webelieve that the Company can mitigate any new inflationary increases through considered commitments and improvedoperating efficiencies.

***Capital Expenditures***

The Company has spent significant amounts of capital for the period from February 17, 1993 (inception) to March 31, 2009on unproved oil and gas properties, pipeline construction, and exploration costs.

***Liquidity and Capital Resources***

        The Company has been in the exploratory stage since inception and has experienced significant changes in liquidity, capital resources, and stockholders’ equity.          

The Company had a working capital surplus of $2,208,461at March 31, 2009 that included current assets of$5,236,078, consistingof cash on hand of$5,152,955,and a note        receivable of $83,123. The Company had total assets of $13,822,722at March 31, 2009that consisted of current assets and unprovedoil and gas propertiesin Val Verde County, Texas. 

The Company had current liabilities of $3,027,617at March 31, 2009consisting of accounts payable of $1,689,393, accrued expenses of $1,251,378, and related party payables of $86,846. The Company had total liabilities of $10,174,306at March 31,        2009that included current liabilities,convertible debentures in the aggregate amount of $3,320,000, convertible promissory notes of $3,126,689, and notes payable of $700,000. Stockholders equity in the Company was $3,648,416as of March 31, 2009.

Forthe period from inception until March 31, 2009 the Company’s cash flow used in operating activities was $5,349,354. Cash flows used in operating activities for the three month period ending March 31, 2009were $36,996compared to        $140,845for the three month period ended March 31, 2008. The decrease in cash flow used in operating activities during the current period is primarily due to an increase in option expense and accounts payable.                   Depreciation, amortization, and impairment for the three month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008was $0and $20,399respectively.                  For the period from inception until March 31, 2009the Company’s cash flow used in investing activities was $12,731,195. Cash flows used in investing activities for the three month period ended March 31, 2009were $1,202,413compared to cash flows provided byinvesting activities of $60,000for the        three month period ended March 31, 2008. Cash flows used ininvesting activities in the current period are the result of costs incurred in drilling on the Carson leases in Val Verde County.                  For the period from inception until March 31, 2009the Company’s cash flow provided by financing activities was $23,233,504. There were no cash flows provided by financing activities for the three month periods ended March 31, 2009or 2008.                   The Company has funded its cash needs from inception primarily through a series of debt and equity transactions, including several private placements. While we 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, if needed to explore and develop our lease interests, will be available to us. Our inability to obtain funding, if necessary, 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 March 31, 2009.           

Commitments for future capital expenditures related to the Company’s drill program were material at March 31, 2009.         The Company has a defined benefit plan and contractual commitments with certain of its officers and 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 March31, 2009the 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 arematerial to stockholders.

***Going Concern***         The Company’s audit expressed substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern as a result of reoccurring losses, lack of revenue generating activities, and an accumulated deficit of $44,357,352 as of December 31, 2008, which increased to $45,972,109at March 31, 2009. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.         

Management’s plan to address the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, include the development and prospective production of oil and natural gas operations, and the conversion of outstanding debt to equity. The successful outcome of these activities cannot be determined at this time, and there is no assurance that, if achieved, we would        then have sufficient funds to execute our intended business plan or generate positive operating results.

*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 (SEC) 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 our 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.**

***Critical Accounting Policies***         In the notes to the audited consolidated financial statements for the Company for the year ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 included in theForm 10-K the Company discussed those accounting policies that are considered to be significant in determining the results of operations and financial position. The Company’s management believes 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***

In November 2008, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) issued Issue No. 08-7, *Accounting for Defensive Intangible Assets*(“EITF 08-7”). EITF 08-7 applies to all acquired intangible assets in which the acquirer does not intend to        actively use the asset but intends to hold (lock up) the asset to prevent its competitors from obtaining access to the asset (a defensive asset), assets that the acquirer will never actually use, as well as assets that will be used by the acquirer during a transition period when the intention of the acquirer is to discontinue the use of those assets. EITF 08-7 is effective as of January 1, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of EITF 08-7 to have a material impact on        itsconsolidated financial statements.           

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 SFAS No. 162 will have on its financial position and results of operations.

In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. FAS 142-3,*Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets.*FSP 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the        useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“SFAS 142”). FSP 142-3 is intended to improve the consistency between the useful life of an intangible asset determined under SFAS 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS 141R and other GAAP. FSP 142-3 is effective as of January 1, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of FSP 142-3 to have a        material impact on the consolidated 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 quarterlyreport, 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”)) as of March 31, 2009. 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, and such information was accumulated and communicated to management, including the chief executive officer and the chief        financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.          

***Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting***

During the period ended March31, 2009there has been no change in internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

**PART II – OTHER INFORMATION**

**ITEM 1.     LEGAL PROCEEDINGS**

On August 27, 2008 The Harding Company (“Harding”) filled a complaint in the District Court of the 160thJudicial District of Dallas County, Texas against the Company. Harding seeks (i) amounts remaining due of $1,177,032 for drilling wells in Comanche and Hamilton        Counties and $340,358 for the pipeline to these dry wells under the Joint Exploration Agreement dated October 1, 2005, as amended (ii) access to the seismic data from Val Verde County and its purported right to acquire an additional five percent of participation in the Val Verde leases under the Agreement for Purchase and Sale dated February 21, 2006, as amended, and (iii) attorney’s fees.                  On November 5, 2008, the Company, represented by Andrews Kurth, LLP, filed a counterclaim against Harding and an original claim against Abram Janz (“Janz”) that seeks damages for fraud, negligent misrepresentation, breach of contract, and breach of fiduciary duty arising out of Harding’s and Janz’s solicitation of the Company to invest in a drilling and development venture in Comanche and Hamilton Counties. The Company seeks actual and exemplary damages for (i)        the loss of its investment under Joint Exploration Agreement, (ii) specific performance of the repurchase provision pertaining to Harding’s five percent participation in the Val Verde leases and (iii) attorney’s fees. The Company believes that it will be successful in its defense of the Harding claims and in pursuing its counterclaim against Harding and Janz. 

**ITEM 1A.     RISK FACTORS         **

The Company’soperations and securities are subject to a number of risks. Below we have identified and discussed the material risks that we are likely to face. Should any of the following risks occur, they will adversely affect our operations, business, financial condition and/or operating results as well as the future trading        price and/or the value of our securities.

**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 become profitable.          

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

        The Company’s audits for the periods ended December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 expressed substantial doubt as to its ability to continue as a going concern dueto the lack of revenue generating activities and the accumulation of significant losses of $44,357,352 as of December 31, 2008, which increased to $45,972,109at March 31, 2009. 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 PREExploration on September 29, 2006, which company first began oil and gas exploration 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:

         

|  | ·      | 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, or qualified personnel, could impact the Company’s 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 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,Bill Purves, and McGinley and Associates, Inc.Exploration efforts        through drilling and operation in Val Verde County are being provided by R.K. Ford & Associates, Inc.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.

***Since oil and natural gas prices are volatile, any substantial decrease in prices could cause the Company to continue to operate at a loss even 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, if any. 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 expect to 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 may require additional capital funding.***

        The Company may 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 long-term financial commitments may depend 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.          

***The Company does not pay cash dividends.***

The Company does not pay cash dividends. We have not paid any cash dividends since inception and have no intention of paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future dividends would be at the discretion of our board of directors and would depend on, among other things, future earnings, our operating and financial condition, our        capital requirements, and general business conditions. Therefore, shareholders should not expect any type of cash flow from their investment.

***We incur significant expenses as a result of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which expenses may continue to negatively impact our financial performance.***

 

We incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses as a result of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as related rules implemented by the Commission, which control the corporate governance practices of public companies. 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, has substantially increased our expenses, including legal and accounting costs, and made some activities more time-consuming and costly. Further, expenses related to our compliance may increase in the future, as legislation affecting smaller reporting companiescomes into effect that may negatively impact our financial performance to the point of having 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. |
|--|----------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
