We can give no assurances that the assumptions upon which the forward-looking statements are based will prove to be correct. Because forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

 1.
ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
 Gulf United Energy, Inc. (“Gulf United” or the “Company”) is an early-stage oil and gas exploration and production company with operations in South America.   The Company currently has limited operations and is a development stage company as defined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards for Development Stage Entities.Gulf United’s current asset portfolio includes participation in two hydrocarbon exploration blocks operated by SK Energy Co. Ltd. (“SK Energy”).   SK Energy is a subsidiary of SK Energy Group, one of South Korea’s top five industrial conglomerates.  SK Energy is Korea’s largest petroleum refiner and is currently active in 34 blocks in 19 countries.
 
 In Colombia, we acquired, subject to regulatory approval, a 12.5% working interest in the 345,592 acre CPO-4 block inthe Llanos Basin. Block CPO-4 is near existing production and immediately adjacent to and on trend with the Guatiquia blockoperated by Petrominerales Ltd. (TSX:PMG). Block CPO-4 is the near-term focus of the Company and SK Energy, with drilling commencing in July, 2011.  We spudded one well on Block CPO-4 on July 12, 2011
 
 In Peru, we acquired, subject to regulatory approval, a 40% working interest in the 2,803,411 acre Z-46 offshore blockin the Trujillo Basin. Recently re-processed 2-D seismic data suggests a submarine fan deposition on the block and multiple leads havebeen identified. Two wells previously drilled on the block by Repsol reported oil, indicating an active hydrocarbon system. TheCompany and SK Energy began the acquisition of additional infill 2-D seismic data in December 2010; additional acquisition and analysis of data is ongoing.
 
 Also in Peru, we acquired, subject to regulatory approval, a 5% participating interest in Block XXIV, an approximately276,137 gross acre concession, and a 2% participating interest in the Peru Technical Evaluation Area (the “Peru TEA”). The PeruTEA consists of four contiguous blocks totaling approximately 40 million gross acres onshore on the western flank of the AndesMountains. Block XXIV and Peru TEA are both operated by Upland Oil & Gas, LLC (“Upland”). Two exploratory wells have beendrilled on Block XXIV and both wells are considered dry holes. There are no current plans to drill additional wells or to reworkexisting wells in the short term on Block XXIV, although future drilling has been planned on this concession by Upland. Similarly,there are no current plans to develop the Peru TEA.
 
 We have begun the process of obtaining the necessary approvals described above.  While we believe that we will be successful in obtaining the necessary approvals, if we do not receive such approvals or are not able to work out a favorable alternative arrangement with the parties to our agreements, then we may not be able to legally protect or enforce our rights to the affected oil and gas interests.  As we do not currently have recordable title to any of our oil and gas interests, our business would be materially adversely affected if we are unable to protect or enforce our rights to maintain our rights to our oil and gas interests. Moreover, while we believe that we would have rights to receive or be refunded all amounts paid under our agreements, there is no assurance that our operating partners would have readily available funds from which to reimburse our advances.
 
 We expect to engage in additional investment opportunities in oil and gas exploration and development as our resources permit. The scope of our activities in this regard may include, but may not be limited to, the acquisition or assignment of rights to develop exploratory acreage under concessions with government authorities and other private or public exploration and production companies, the purchase of oil and gas producing properties, farm-in and farmout opportunities (i.e., the assumption or assignment of obligations to fund the cost of drilling and development).We may turn to opportunities in other countries if we deem the relevant considerations merit our investment. We plan to focus on early-stage exploration of hydrocarbons through a variety of transactions aimed at building a resource base.  An integral part of our strategy is to build a competent and professional management and operations team to enable us to successfully carry out our business plan.

Interim Financial Statements
 
 In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are necessary to provide a fair presentation of operating results for the interim periods presented.
 
 The Company assumes that the users of the interim financial information herein have read or have access to the audited financial statements for the preceding fiscal year and that the adequacy of additional disclosures needed for a fair presentation may be determined in that context.  Certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”), have been condensed or omitted in this Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. These consolidated financial statements should be read in connection with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2010.
 
 The results of operations presented for the three months or nine months ended May 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year.  Interim financial data presented herein are unaudited.
 
 These financial statements have been prepared on a going-concern basis. The Company has incurred losses since inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of $17,172,514 and further losses are anticipated in the development of our business raising substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the ability of the Company to generate profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due.During the quarter ended May 31, 2011, the Company issued 2,125,000 shares of common stock to consultants for services rendered or to be rendered and for the nine months ended May 31, 2011, the Company has sold 97,138,726 shares of common stock for net cash proceeds of $25,797,119. As additional consideration, the company issued five-year warrants to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of common stock at a $0.30 exercise price per share.As additional consideration for $100,000 in previously issued short-term notes, the Company issued 1,000,000 shares of common stock.  While the Company has sufficient cash available for immediate obligations, we will need to raise additional funds, beginning as early as September, 2011, to meet our contractual obligations and there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in its efforts. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.
 
 2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
 Basis of Accounting
  The Company maintains its accounts on the accrual method of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of consolidated financial position and the results of operations have been reflected herein.
 
 Concentration of Credit Risk
  Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk at this time consist principally of cash.  The Company places its cash with high credit quality financial institutions.  At times, such amounts may exceed FDIC limits; however, these deposits typically may be redeemed upon demand and therefore bear minimal risk.  In monitoring this credit risk, the Company periodically evaluates the stability of the financial institutions.

 Use of Estimates
 
 The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.  Certain of our more critical accounting policies require the application of significant judgment by management in selecting the appropriate assumptions for calculating financial estimates. By their nature, these judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. These judgments are based on our historical experience, terms of existing contracts, and our observance of trends in the industry and information available from other outside sources, as appropriate. Different, reasonable estimates could have been used in the current period.  Additionally, changes in accounting estimates are reasonably likely to occur from period to period. These, and other, factors could have a material impact on the presentation of our financial condition, changes in financial condition or results of operations.
 
 Cash
  Cash includes cash in a demand deposit account and a money market account with a Houston bank.  In addition, the Company has established a cash account in Bogota, Colombia as required by local regulations.  This account is maintained in Colombian pesos.
 
 Fair Value of Financial Instruments
  The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, payroll taxes receivable from shareholder, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and debt.  It is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest or credit risks arising from these instruments. The fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying values.
 
 The carrying amount of these financial instruments approximates fair value due either to length of maturity or interest and discount rates that approximate prevailing market rates.  In determining fair values, there are three levels of inputs used to determine value.  Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.  Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.  Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs which include risk inherent in the asset or liability.
 
 Software License and Fixed Assets
  The value of the software license and computer equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the thirty six-month estimated useful life of the software and equipment. Any costs associated with maintenance and upgrades will be charged to expense as incurred. When an asset is retired or otherwise disposed of, the costs and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in income for the period; significant renewals and betterments are capitalized.
 
 Impairment of Long-lived Assets
 
 The Company evaluates impairment when events or circumstances indicate that a long-lived asset’s carrying value may not be recovered.  These events include market declines, decisions to sell an asset and adverse changes in the legal or business environment.  If events or circumstances indicate that a long-lived asset’s carrying value may not be recoverable, the Company estimates the future undiscounted cash flows from the asset for which the lowest level of separate cash flows may be determined, to determine if the asset is impaired.  If the total undiscounted future cash flows are less than the carrying amount for the asset, the Company estimates the fair value of the asset through reference to sales data for similar assets, or by using a discounted cash flow approach.  The asset’s carrying value is then adjusted downward to the estimated fair value.  These cash flow estimates and assumptions could change significantly either positively or negatively.  At May 31, 2011, management did not believe that any impairment exists with respect to its long-lived assets.

 Inflation
  The Company's results of operations have not been significantly affected by inflation and management does not expect inflation to have a significant effect on its operations in the foreseeable future.
 
 Oil and gas properties
 The Company follows the full cost method of accounting for its oil and gas properties, whereby all costs incurred in connection with the acquisition, exploration for and development of petroleum and natural gas reservesare capitalized. Such costs include costs of acquisition, geological and geophysical activities, rentals on non-producing leases, drilling, completing and equipping of oil and gas wells and administrative costs directly attributable to those activities and asset retirement costs. Sales or other dispositions of oil and gas properties will be accounted for as adjustments to capitalized costs, with no gain or loss recorded unless the ratio of capitalized costs to proven reserves would significantly change, or to the extent that the sales proceeds exceed our capitalized costs. As of May 31, 2011, the Company had oil and gas propertyinvestments in the amount of $18,235,871 that are excluded from depletion because reserves have not been proven to be associated with those properties. If proved reserves, if any, are found and when its quantity can be estimated, costs in excess of the present value of estimated future net revenues will be charged toimpairment expense. The Company will apply the full cost ceiling test on a quarterly basis on the date of the latest consolidated balance sheet presented.  It is not known at this time if any recoverable reserves of oil and gas exist.  As of the date of this report and based upon all the known facts and circumstances, management does not believe that any impairment exists with respect to oil and gas properties.
 
 Asset retirement costs will be recognized when an asset is placed in service and will be included in the amortization base and will be amortized over proved reserves, if any, using the units of production method.  Depletion of proved oil and gas properties will be calculated on the units-of-production method based upon estimates of proved reserves, if any. Such calculations include the estimated future costs to develop proved reserves, if any. Costs of unproved properties are not included in the costs subject to depletion. These costs will also be assessed quarterly for impairment.
 
 Asset Retirement Obligation
  GAAP requires that an asset retirement obligation (ARO) associated with the retirement of a tangible long-lived asset be recognized as a liability in the period in which it is incurred and becomes determinable. Under this method, when liabilities for dismantlement and abandonment costs, excluding salvage values, are initially recorded, the carrying amount of the related oil and natural gas properties is increased. The fair value of the ARO asset and liability is measured using expected future cash outflows discounted at the Company’s credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate. Accretion of the liability is recognized each period using the interest method of allocation, and the capitalized cost is depleted using the units of production method. Should either the estimated life or the estimated abandonment costs of a property change materially upon the Company’s quarterly review, a new calculation is performed using the same methodology of taking the abandonment cost and inflating it forward to its abandonment date and then discounting it back to the present using the Company’s credit-adjusted-risk-free rate.
  The carrying value of the asset retirement obligation is adjusted to the newly calculated value, with a corresponding offsetting adjustment to the asset retirement cost related to oil and gas property accounts.  At May 31, 2011, the Company has no asset retirement obligations.
 
 Basic Loss per Share
 
 The Company is required to provide basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share information.  The basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.  Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss applicable to common stockholders, adjusted on an "as if converted" basis, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus potential dilutive securities. During the period ended May 31, 2011, the Company issued five-year warrants to purchase up to 1 million shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.30 per share as described in Note 4.

 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

 (Unaudited)




Potential dilutive securities (stock warrants) have been considered, but the potential dilutive effect of these securities is not believed to be material and would be anti-dilutive.  The Company reported net losses in the three and nine month periods ended May 31, 2011 of $2,103,091and $12,803,671; accordingly, the effects of any additional shares would be anti-dilutive. The weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding was 454,389,948 and 145,863,333 for the quarters ended May 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively and 374,967,587 and 65,758,974 for the nine month periods ended May 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
  Principles of Consolidation
 
 The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Gulf United Energy, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Gulf United Energy del Peru, Ltd., Gulf United Energy Cuenca Trujillo, Ltd. and Gulf United Energy de Colombia, Ltd. as of May 31, 2011 and August 31, 2010. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in the consolidation.
 
 Accounting for Uncertain Tax Positions
  GAAP provides detailed guidance for the financial statement recognition, measurement and disclosure of uncertain tax positions recognized in an entity’s financial statements.  GAAP requires an entity to recognize the financial statement impact of a tax position when it is more likely that not that the position will be sustained upon examination. The Company believes that all significant tax positions utilized by the Company will more likely than not be sustained upon examination.  As of the Company’s fiscal year-end, August 31, 2010, the tax years that remain subject to examination by the major tax jurisdictions under the statute of limitations are from the year 2007 forward (with limited exceptions). Tax penalties and interest, if any, would be accrued as incurred and would be classified as tax expense in the consolidated statements of operations.
 
 Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
 In February 2010, the FASB amended guidance on subsequent events to alleviate potential conflicts between FASB guidance and Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) requirements. Under this amended guidance, SEC filers are no longer required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated in originally issued and revised financial statements.
 
 There were various other updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to a have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
 3.      INVESTMENTS
 
 Investment in Joint Venture Entities - Sold
 
 On March 22, 2006, the Company entered into a letter of intent with Cia. Mexicana de Gas Natural, S.A. de C.V. (“CMGN”), a private Mexican corporation, whereby the Company would acquire a 50% interest in a joint venture to be formed (the “Gulf United/CMGN Joint Venture”). The Company contributed cash to the Gulf United/CMGN Joint Venture and CMGN contributed its 24% equity interest in a proposed project to design, construct, operate and maintain an open access natural gas pipeline between Valladolid, Cancun and Punta Venado, as well as its initial 24% equity interest in a project to build a proposed LNG storage and regasification facility.
 
 The value of the joint venture investment was impaired in the amount of $1,010,970 and adjusted as of May 31, 2009 to reflect the present value of the then-agreed sale amount of $1,000,000. The valuation was completed using level 3 inputs, using a 10% discount rate on funds to be received after closing.  The joint venture interest was further impaired in the amount of $940,240 to reflect management’s view that, as of May 31, 2010, the interest had a zero value.

 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

 (Unaudited)
  As reported in the Company’s Form 8K filed on November 5, 2010, the Company closed on an agreement with its former joint venture partner, Cia. Mexicana de Gas Natural, S.A. de C.V., to sell all of the Company’s shares in Fermaca LNG de Cancun, S.A. de C.V. and Fermaca Gas de Cancun, S.A. de C.V. for a total amount of $1,000,000 of which$50,000 was paid upon entry into thesale agreement, $150,000 of which was paid at the close of the transaction, $120,000 of the next $150,000 was paid as of February 28, 2011 with the remaining $30,000 paid in March, 2011.   The next installment of $150,000 wasdue on May 1, 2011 and as of July 15, 2011, it has not been paid, but it is expected to be paid by the end of July. The next two $150,000 installments are due August 1, 2011 and November 1, 2011 with the final payment of $200,000 due February 1, 2012.  No interest accrues on the installments. Management expects that all installments will be paid, but there is no certainty; consequently, the gain on the sale of the joint venture investment is being recognized on an installment basis as the sales proceeds are received. Because the sale of the joint venture interests ended the Company’s investments in pipeline and LNG infrastructure, the gain from the sale and the impairment losses have been reclassified to discontinued operations.As of May 31, 2011, the unrecorded present value of the $650,000 to be received in the future is $626,967discounted at a 10% interest rate.
 
 Investments in oil and gas properties
 
 Peru Block XXIV and TEA
 
 On July 31, 2010, the Company entered into an amendment to the participation agreement dated March 12, 2010covering blocks XXIV Peru and the Peru TEA. Under the terms of the amendment, the Company acquired an undivided 5% working interest in Block XXIV, an approximately 280,000 acre onshore and offshore property and an undivided 2% working interest in the Peru TEA which consists of four contiguous blocks totaling approximately 40,000,000 acresin exchange for a $500,000 cash payment and 1,000,000 shares of restricted common stock.Prior to the execution of the amendment, the Company had paid a total of $1,100,000 toward past costs and $1,813,391 for drilling costs throughMay 31, 2011.  With respect to the Peru TEA, the Company has paid $250,000 toward the Peru TEA ongoing costs as of May 31, 2011.  Upland spudded two wells on Block XXIV prior to May 31, 2011. Both wells are currently considered dry holes. The right for the Company to make this investment was granted by four related-party assignors in exchange for 60,000,000 shares of the Company’s unregistered, restricted common stock.Theassignors retained a 2% overriding royalty interest, proportionately reduced, in these properties.  There are no current plans to drill additional wells or to rework existing wells in the short term on Block XXIV. Future drilling has been planned on this property by Upland.  Similarly, there are no current plans to develop the Peru TEA.
  Peru Z-46
  On July 13, 2010, the Company entered into a farmout agreement with SK Energy pursuant to which the Company will pay to SK Energy approximately $2,914,917 for past costs and expenses incurred through May 31, 2010 to earn an undivided forty percent (40%) participation interest in Block Z-46.  The payment for past costs is due within thirty (30) days after receipt of the approval from Perupetro S.A.which is expected in July or August 2011.
  The Company has paid and will pay SK Energy its proportionate share of on-going costs and an additional thirty-five percent (35%) of seismic acquisition costs (the Company pays a total of seventy five percent (75%) of certain seismic acquisition costs).  The assignment of the participation interest in Block Z-46 is conditioned upon the approval of the assignment by Perupetro S.A.In the event that the PeruPetro consent is delayed or denied, the farmout agreement provides that the parties will meet within thirty days after such date to discuss possible amendments to the farmout agreement to avoid the need for the approval.  If the Company and SK Energy are unable to agree upon the amendment, the farmout agreement will be terminated, the Company’s interest in Block Z-46 will be deemed re-assigned back to SK Energy, and the Company will have the right to have returned any amounts paid under the farmout, without interest ($5,626,488 has been paid through May 31, 2011).
  Recent re-processed 2-D seismic data suggests a submarine fan deposition on the block and multiple leads have been identified. Two wells previously drilled on the block by Repsol reported oil, indicating an active hydrocarbon system.  The Company and SK Energy began the acquisition of additional infill 2-D seismic data in December 2010; the acquisition, processing and analysis of seismic datais ongoing.

  As additional compensation, related to sale of the common stock on February 15, 2011, the Company issued to Pritchard Capital warrants to purchase up to 1 million shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.30 subject to anti-dilution adjustments.  As of May 31, 2011, the total value of these warrants is estimated at approximately $455,178using the Black-Scholes valuation model.  Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of our common stock over the past twelve months.  The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the time of issuance for an instrument with a maturity of five years.  A dividend yield rate of zero was used because we have never paid cash dividends and we do not intend to pay cash dividends on our common stock.
 
 5.  INCOME TAXES
 
 Potential benefits of income tax losses are not recognized in the accounts until realization is more likely than not.  The Company has incurred net operating losses totaling $17,172,514 which commence expiring in 2023 if not previously utilized. Pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification, the Company is required to compute tax asset benefits for net operating loss carry-forwards. The potential benefit of net operating losses has been offset by a valuation allowance in these financial statements because the Company cannot be assured it is more likely than not it will utilize the net operating losses carried forward in future years. The valuation of the tax loss carryforward and the valuation allowance thereon were as follows:

 At August 31, 2010, the Company had approximately $2,418,000 of federal net operating loss carryforwards for tax reporting purposes available to offset future taxable income.  The federal net operating loss carryforwards expire on various dates through 2030. Under the Tax Reform Act of 1986, the amounts of and benefits from net operating losses carried forward may be impaired or limited in certain circumstances.  Events which may cause limitations in the amount of net operating losses the Company may utilize in any one year include, but are not limited to, a cumulative ownership change of more than 50 percent over a three-year period.




The Company has not completed a study to assess whether an ownership change has occurred or whether there have been multiple ownership changes since the Company’s formation.  If the Company has experienced an ownership change at any time since its formation, utilization of the net operating loss carryforwards would be subject to an annual limitation under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, which is determined by first multiplying the value of the Company’s stock at the time of the ownership change by the applicable long-term, tax-exempt rate, and then could be subject to additional adjustments, as required.  Any limitation may result in expiration of a portion of the net operating loss carryforwards before utilization.  Further, until a study is completed and any limitations known, no amounts are being considered as an uncertain tax position or disclosed as an unrecognized tax benefit.

 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

 (Unaudited)
 
 Due to the existence of the valuation allowance, future changes in the Company’s unrecognized tax benefit will not impact its effective tax rate.  Any carryforwards that will expire prior to utilization as a result of such limitations will be removed from deferred tax assets with a corresponding reduction of the valuation allowance.
  6.      LOANS PAYABLE TO RELATED PARTIES

 During the quarter ended February 28, 2011, the Company used proceeds from common stock sales to retire the one-year promissory note from a related party stockholder, James M. Askew, which originally totaled $1,089,685.
 
 The remaining notes bear interest at 8% annually with all interest and principal due at maturity. As additional consideration for the purchasers of notes, the Company issued an additional 1,000,000 shares of its common stock in March, 2011, which was shown as common stock subscribed as of February 28, 2011.
 
 The notes were discounted based on the fair market value of the common stock received (determined with the assistance of independent valuation experts) as a percentage of the total fair marketvalue of all consideration received.  The resulting note discount is being amortized as additional interest expense over the twelve month life of each note and is being calculated based on a normal amortization schedule using the interest method.
 
 The weighted average interest rates on shareholder loans payable at May 31, 2011 and August 31, 2010 were 8.0% and 8.5%, respectively.

  10.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
 Formation of Compensation Committee and 2011 Stock Incentive Plan
 
 On June 14, 2011, the Company established a compensation committee (the “Compensation Committee”), and appointed John Seitz and Thomas G. Loeffler to serve as the initial members of the committee.  Both John Seitz and Thomas G. Loeffler are “independent” directors, as such term is defined under independence standards used by both the NASDAQ Stock Market and NYSE Amex rules. On June 14, 2011, the Compensation Committee adopted of the Company’s 2011 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”).  The plan was approved to reward long-term performance, encourage the achievement of superior results over time, align executive and stockholder interests, and retain executive management through the award of a combination of restricted stock, stock options and other stock-based compensation. The board of directors believes that by providing employees, consultants, and directors with an opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company and additional incentive and reward opportunities based on the growth of the Company, the 2011 Plan will give such individuals a stronger incentive to work for the continued success of the Company. The board also believes that the 2011 Plan is critical for the Company in attracting and retaining outside personnel, without which we will not be competitive in the employment environment today.
 
 The 2011 Plan provides for the granting of options (either incentive stock options within the meaning of Section 422(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or options that do not constitute incentive stock options (“nonqualified stock options”)), restricted stock awards, performance awards, incentive awards, and bonus stock awards.
 
 Our directors and all employees and consultants of the Company and its affiliates are eligible to participate in the 2011 Plan and to receive awards under the plan. However, incentive stock options may be granted only to individuals who are employees of the Company and its subsidiary corporations at the time of the grant. The selection of those employees, consultants and directors, from among those eligible, who will receive awards is within the discretion of the administrator of the 2011 Plan.

 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

 The 2011 Plan covers an aggregate of 45,000,000 shares of Company common stock (subject to certain adjustments in the event of a reorganization, stock split, recapitalization, other change in our capital structure and certain other events (“adjustments”)). No more than 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock, subject to adjustments, may be issued pursuant to awards granted under the 2011 Plan to any one individual in any calendar year. The maximum aggregate cash payout with respect to performance awards granted to any one individual during a calendar year is $5,000,000.
 
 The 2011 Plan will be administered by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee has the power to determine those employees, consultants and/or outside directors who will receive an award, the time or times when such award will be made, the type of the award and the number of shares of Company common stock to be issued under the award or the value of the award.
 
 The Compensation Committee may from time to time, in its sole discretion, delegate to the Company’s chief executive officer the administration of the 2011 Plan, including the right to grant awards, insofar as such administration and power to grant awards relates to any person who is not subject to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such delegation may be effective only so long as the chief executive officer is a member of our board of directors, and the Compensation Committee may revoke the delegation at any time. The Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion, may place any conditions and restrictions on the powers delegated to the chief executive officer. In the event of a conflict in a determination or interpretation under the 2011 Plan as between the Compensation Committee and our chief executive officer, the determination or interpretation of the Compensation Committee will be conclusive.  The key features of the plan include: (i) no re-pricing of stock options without stockholder approval;(ii) no grants of discounted awards; (iii) independent committee administering the plan; (iv) the plan prohibits shares from being added back to the aggregate plan limit under the following circumstances: (1) shares tendered in payment of the option price; (2) shares withheld by the Company to satisfy the tax withholding obligation; and (3) shares that are repurchased by the Company with option right proceeds; (v) minimum three-year vesting requirements for options, restricted stock awards and incentive awards, except as awarded in lieu of cash compensation; and (vi) minimum one-year performance period for performance awards.
 
 Compensation for Non-Executive Directors
 
 On June 14, 2011, the Compensation Committee approved a new compensation structure for non-executive employees.  Under the approved structure, existing directors will receive a $40,000 annual cash retainer, and the Chairpersons of the Audit Committee and Compensation Committee will receive an additional $20,000 cash retainer.  Each director will also receive a $1,000 meeting fee and annual grant of equity from the 2011 Plan of 275,000 shares of restricted stock.  The shares subject to the restricted stock grant will vest over a period of three years.  New directors appointed to the board will receive an additional 275,000 shares of restricted stock.  Directors may elect to receive their cash compensation in shares of Company common stock.  If a director elects to receive cash, a 25% premium is added to the dollar amount received.
 
 Bonus and Stock Awards to Executive Officers
 
 On June 14, 2011, the Compensation Committee awarded cash bonuses to its executive officers.  Mr. Connally was awarded $400,000, each of Messrs. Ford, Miller, and Fluker were awarded $100,000, and Mr. Pomerantz was awarded $50,000 all of which were accrued as of May 31, 2011.

 ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
 The following discussion highlights the principal factors that have affected our financial condition and results of operations as well as our liquidity and capital resources for the periods described. This discussion contains forward-looking statements. Please see “Forward-Looking Statements” above and “Risk Factors” included in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2010, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on December 7, 2010 (the “2010 Form 10-K”), for a discussion of the uncertainties, risks and assumptions associated with these forward-looking statements.
 
 The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting, whereby revenues are recognized when earned, and expenses are recognized when incurred. These consolidatedfinancial statements as of May 31, 2011, and for the three and ninemonths ended May 31, 2011 and 2010, are unaudited.  In the opinion of management, such financial statements include the adjustments and accruals necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. These interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

 Overview
  We are an international, early-stage oil and gas exploration and production company with operations in South America. We have acquired a working interest in an oil and gas property in Colombia and have entered into agreements to acquire additional working interests in properties located in Peru.  We expect to engage in investment opportunities in oil and gas exploration and development. The scope of our activities in this regard may include, but may not be limited to, the acquisition of or assignment of rights to develop exploratory acreage under concessions with government authorities and other private or public exploration and production (“E&P”) companies, the purchase of oil and gas producing properties, farm-in and farmout opportunities.
  We plan to build a successful oil and gas exploration and production company focused on acquiring working interests, royalty interests, partnership or limited liability company interests, lease options, leasehold positions, or other mineral rights in select countries in South America.  We have initially concentrated our efforts in Colombia and Peru, where we believe we have found good E&P opportunities with straight-forward oil and gas contracting terms and conditions.  We may turn to opportunities in other countries if we deem the relevant considerations merit our investment. We plan to focus on early-stage exploration for hydrocarbons through a variety of transactions aimed at building a resources base.
 
 Operational Update
 
 Colombia CPO-4
 As of the date of this report, we have spudded one well with the goal of production by the fourth calendar quarter of 2011.  During 2011, the Company plans to drill at least two wells on the block.We will fund approximately $3.75 million for past costs including seismic acquisition, approximately $350,000 for joint operating costs and approximately $3.0 million for drilling two exploratory wells and beginning phase 2 drilling (in about October, 2011).  We are currently reprocessing and analyzing seismic data, long lead-time items have been ordered and equipment is being moved on to the first drilling site.  In addition, environmental permitting is in process related to three drilling sites.





Peru Z-46





During the current fiscal year, we intend to acquire an additional approximately 2,900 square km of 2D seismic data on Block Z-46 to further delineate prospects in anticipation of a focused 3D acquisition in the future.We and our operating partner have evaluated seismic data as well as information from surrounding drilling activity and management has concluded that valuable prospects exist for oil reserves.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, Cont.




Based on this conclusion, 2D seismic acquisition began on December 31, 2010 and is ongoing.We expect to pay approximately $2.9 million for funding past costs which is due upon government approval of the assignment of interest (estimated to be in July or August of 2011) and approximately $700,000for joint operating costs through the end of the fiscal year.





Peru Block XXIV





During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2010, we paid an aggregate of $2,763,391 to Upland under the existing farmout and participation agreements.  In September 2011, we paid an additional $500,000 to Upland relating to Block XXIV and the Peru TEApursuant to the July 2010 amendment.  During fiscal 2010, two dry holes were drilled on the Block XXIV property and currently there is no drilling activity. There are no current plans to drill additional wells or to rework existing wells in the short-term, but drilling is planned in the future on this property.  The current work program for Block XXIV is comprised of the acquisition and evaluation of new seismic data.





Peru Technical Evaluation Area (“TEA”)





The Peru TEA consists of four contiguous blocks totaling approximately 40,000,000 gross acres onshore on the western flank of the AndesMountains.  As is typical of Technical Evaluation Areas, this project represents a greenfield opportunity to identify prospects from an area that has had virtually no geological study (aeromagnetic, seismic, or otherwise) beyond field notes and descriptions.We intend to acquire and evaluate an aeromagnetic survey in the future, which may or may not be during fiscal year 2011, the results of which may result in further geological evaluation through a 2D seismic survey.





Results of Operations for Three Months and Nine Months Ended May 31, 2011





We have not earned any revenues during the period from inception through May 31, 2011. We have not attained profitable operations and are, therefore, dependent upon obtaining additional debt or equity financing. If we are unable to obtain additional financing, there is substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern.





Sale of pipeline and LNG re-gasification facility joint venture investments





As reported in the Company’s Form 8K filed November 5, 2010, the Company closed on an agreement with its former joint venture partner, Cia. Mexicana de Gas Natural, S.A. de C.V., to sell all of the Company’s shares in Fermaca LNG de Cancun, S.A. de C.V. and Fermaca Gas de Cancun, S.A. de C.V. for a total amount of $1,000,000.  $350,000 has been paid to date.  The next installment was due on May 1, 2011 and has not been paid, but is expected by July 15, 2011.  The next twoinstallments of $150,000 are due on August 1, 2011 and November 1, 2011 with the final payment of $200,000 due February 1, 2012.  No interest accrues on the installments.


Liquidity and Capital Resources





At May 31, 2011, the Company has current assets of $10,142,205, current liabilities of $2,684,238 resulting in a working capital surplus of $7,457,967.  During the current fiscal year, the Company received net proceeds of $25,822,119 from sales of common stock.  In addition, the Company funded $9,086,800 in expenses through the issuance of the Company’s restricted, common shares. During the remainder of fiscal 2011, we will need to fund approximately $8.9 million under existing farmout and participation agreements.  Additionally, we will need to pay approximately $432,000 through the end of the fiscal year under existing credit facilities, and will require an additional $1.0 million to fund obligations under employment and consulting agreements and for other working capital purposes.  The Company has no other sources of financing and will continue to rely on best efforts equity, equity equivalent, or debt financings and borrowings from shareholders.

 Operating Expenses
 
 For the quarter ended May 31, 2011, operating expenses increased $1,729,000 as compared to the same quarter ended in 2010. The increase occurred primarily due to: (i) the $240,000 increase in consulting expense, (ii) the $1,174,000 increase in salaries, bonus and related expenses, (iii) the $174,000 increase in professional fees which includes accounting, legal fees, geotechnical services and other and, (iv) the $116,000 increase in interest expense and loan discount amortization.  Similarly, for the nine months period, operating expenses increased $12,469,000 primarily due to: (i) the $8,539,000 increase in consulting expense, (ii) the $1,795,000 increase in salaries and related expenses, (iii) the $777,000 increase in professional fees which includes accounting, legal fees, geotechnical services and other and (iv) the $1,304,000 increase in interest expense and loan discount amortization.
 
 Net Loss
 
 The Company incurred a net loss of $2,103,000 for the three months ended May 31, 2011 which is $751,000 higher than the net loss of $1,352,000 in 2010.  The higher loss is dueto the expense increases noted above offset by the loss on joint venture investment in 2010 as well asthe increased interest expense associated with greater borrowings and loan discount amortization in the current quarter.  An increased loss is reflected for the nine-month period ended May 31, 2011 was due mostly to a $8,539,000 increase in consulting expense, a $1,795,000 increase in salaries and increased interest expense of $1,304,000.
  Net Loss Applicable to Common Shareholders
 Cash flows
 For the three months ended May 31, 2011, our net loss per share was $0.005 compared to a loss of $0.009 for the three months ended May 31, 2010.  For the nine month periods, our net loss per share was $0.034 compared to a loss of $0.025 for the nine months ended May 31, 2010.

 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, Cont.
  For the nine months ended May 31, 2011, the Company's operating activities used cash of $3,243,322 compared to net cash used of $306,074 for the same period in 2010. Investing activities used cash of $10,577,918 for investment in oil and gas properties and capital expenditures.  The Company's financing activities provided net cash of $23,632,434in the nine months endedMay 31, 2011, compared to $2,688,000 in cash provided in the nine months ended May 31, 2010. The cash provided in the current fiscal year was provided by proceeds from sales of common shares less the amounts used to pay down shareholder short-term loans.  In 2010, the financing was provided primarily by shareholder loans as well as some common stock sales.
 
 For the period from inception-to-date, the Company used cash of $4,055,023 in operating activities, used $13,762,362 in investing activities and $27,648,258 was provided from financing activities.
 
 ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
 Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position due to adverse changes in financial market prices and rates. Our market risk exposure results from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.  The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk based on the Company’s investments in oil and gas properties in Peru and Colombia.  The Company funds the oil and gas projects and reports the investments in US dollars, but a significant portion of the expenses funded may be denominated in local currency and converted to US dollars. To the extent that we are required to reimburse expenses originally denominated in foreign currencies, our total costs could increase (or decrease). We don’t expect that this risk will have a material impact on future financial statements.  The Company is not exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates.  The interest rate on all Company debt instruments is fixed.  We do not currently own marketable securities, use interest rate swaps, futures contracts, options on futures or other types of derivative financial instruments. We do not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes.
  ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
  Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
 The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company's periodic reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. As of the end of the period covered by this report, management carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act).
 
 Based upon the evaluation, the Company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that its disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. In addition, the Company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that its disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, Cont.
 Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
 
 The Company's management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company's internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance as to the reliability of the Company's financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
  Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
  As reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on December 7, 2010, management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of August 31, 2010. We identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting relating to segregation of duties.  However, the Company’s management believes that the material weaknesses described in our Form 10-K were the result of the scale of our operations, and are intrinsic to our small size and are of a nature that companies of our size would normally encounter.  The Company has added qualified individuals to our staff during the current fiscal year and management believes that we have improved and can continue to improve the control weakness related to our lack of segregation of duties.  We have implemented changes in procedures in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended May 31, 2011that we believe have materially improved, or are reasonably likely to materially improve, our internal control over financial reporting.

  Item 1A.  Risk Factors
  The Company is now subject to risk factors in addition to (or which differ materially from) those previously disclosed under Item 1 of the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 7, 2010:
  We have a limited cash and liquidity position and will need to raise approximately $6 million to fund existing contractual obligations and estimated working capital needs in calendar year 2011.
  At May 31, 2011, the Company has current assets of $10,142,205, current liabilities of $2,684,238 resulting in a working capital surplus of $7,457,967.  During the current fiscal year, the Company received net proceeds of $25,797,119 from sales of common stock.  In addition, the Company funded $9,086,800 in expenses through the issuance of the Company’s restricted, common shares. During the remainder of the calendar 2011, we will need to fund approximately $16 million under existing contracts, farmout and participation agreements. The Company has no other sources of financing and will continue to rely on best efforts equity, equity equivalent, or debt financings and borrowings from shareholders.
  We expect to deploy the remaining proceeds from our financings to fund existing contractual obligations and estimated working capital needs through December 2011, which are as follows:
  ·
$11.6 million under existing farmout agreements ($4.0 million relating to Block Z-46 and $7.6 million relating to Block CPO-4, which amounts are payable throughout calendar 2011, but probably concentrated in the 3rd calendar quarter);·
$2.0 million under existing credit facilities (due in the second half of calendar 2011);·
$1.0 million under employment and consulting agreements; and·
$1.3 million for working capital purposes.
  We will need to raise at least $7.5 million of net proceeds beginning about September, 2011 to fund our remaining calendar year 2011 contractual commitments and working capital needs.  Inability to obtain capital on a timely basis may damage our credibility with industry participants if we cannot fund previously closed transactions.
  We may not be successful in locating suitable financing transactions in the time period required or at all, and we may not obtain the capital we require by other means.  Future financings may be dilutive to our stockholders, as we will most likely issue additional shares of our common stock or other equity to investors in future financing transactions, the terms of which may include preferences, superior voting rights, and the issuance of warrants or other derivative securities. In addition, debt and possible mezzanine financing may involve a pledge of assets and may be senior to equity holders.
  We have historically financed our operations through best efforts private debt and equity financing.  We do not have any credit facilities available with financial institutions, stockholders or third party investors, and will continue to rely on best efforts financings. There is no assurance that we can raise additional debt or equity capital from external sources. The Company has no control over the amount of funds that it may receive in financings and the time frame in which they may be received. Failure to raise additional capital during calendar year 2011 on favorable terms, or at all, will have a material adverse effect on our operations, could result in the loss of our interests in our exploration projects, and will likely cause us to curtail or cease operations.

 GULF UNITED ENERGY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

  We will need to raise additional capital in calendar year 2012.  If we are unable to raise additional capital in 2012, we may be unable to meet our capital requirements in the future, causing us to curtail future growth plans or cut back our operations.
  In addition to the amounts required in calendar year 2011, we will need to raise at least $17 million in calendar year 2012 in order to satisfy our obligations under existing contractual commitments and for general working capital purposes.
  We may need to raise in excess of that amount to meet various objectives including, but not limited to:
  ·
complying with funding obligations under new contractual commitments;·
pursuing growth opportunities, including more rapid expansion;·
making investments to improve our infrastructure;·
hiring and retaining qualified management and key employees;·
responding to competitive pressures;·
complying with licensing, registration and other requirements;·
maintaining compliance with applicable laws; and·
maintaining adequate funds for working capital purposes.
  We plan to pursue sources of such capital through various financing transactions or arrangements, including joint venturing of projects, debt financing, equity financing or other means. We may not be successful in locating suitable financing transactions in the time period required or at all, and we may not obtain the capital we require by other means.  Future financings may be dilutive to our stockholders, as we will most likely issue additional shares of our common stock or other equity to investors in future financing transactions, the terms of which may include preferences, superior voting rights, and the issuance of warrants or other derivative securities. In addition, debt and possible mezzanine financing may involve a pledge of assets and may be senior to equity holders.
  We will incur substantial costs in pursuing future capital financing, including investment banking fees, legal fees, accounting fees, securities law compliance fees, printing and distribution expenses and other costs. We will also be required to recognize non-cash expenses in connection with certain securities we may issue, such as convertible notes and warrants, which will adversely impact our results of operations.
  We have historically financed our operations through best efforts private debt and equity financing.  We do not have any credit facilities available with financial institutions, stockholders or third party investors, and will continue to rely on best efforts financings. There is no assurance that we can raise additional debt or equity capital from external sources. The Company has no control over the amount of funds that it may receive in financings and the time frame in which they may be received. Failure to raise additional capital, on favorable terms or at all, will have a material adverse effect on our operations, could result in the loss of our interests in our exploration projects, and will likely cause us to curtail or cease operations.
  We may not receive approval of the assignments of rights to us in our oil and gas properties in which we have invested and are continuing to invest, and, as a result, we may not be able to legally protect our rights under our agreements with the operators of the applicable properties.
  The assignment to the Company of the interest in Block CPO-4 is subject to the approval of both the ANH and the Republic of Korea.  If such approval is not received from ANH and the Republic of Korea by July 31, 2011, the farmout agreement provides that the parties will meet within thirty days after such date to discuss possible amendments to the farmout agreement to avoid the need for the approval.  If the Company and SK Energy are unable to agree upon the amendment, the farmout agreement will be terminated, the Company’s interest in Block CPO-4 will be deemed re-assigned back to SK Energy, and the Company will have the right to have returned any amounts paid under the farmout, without interest.
  The assignment to the Company of the interest in Block Z-46 is subject to the approval of PeruPetro S.A.  If such approval is not received from PeruPetro S.A. by November 30, 2011, the farmout agreement provides that the parties will meet within thirty days after such date to discuss possible amendments to the farmout agreement to avoid the need for the approval.

  If the Company and SK Energy are unable to agree upon the amendment, the farmout agreement will be terminated, the Company’s interest in Block Z-46 will be deemed re-assigned back to SK, and the Company will have the right to have returned any amounts paid under the farmout, without interest.
  The assignment to the Company of the interests in Block XXIV and the Peru TEA are also subject to the approval of PeruPetro S.A. and certain governmental agencies of the Republic of Peru.  Until such time as the approvals are received, Upland is holding the Block XXIV and Peru TEA interests in escrow.
  We have begun the process of obtaining the necessary approvals described above.  While we believe that we will be successful in obtaining the necessary approvals, if we do not receive such approvals or are not able to work out a favorable alternative arrangement with the parties to our agreements, then we may not be able to legally protect or enforce our rights to the affected oil and gas interests.  As we do not currently have recordable title to any of our oil and gas interests, our business would be materially adversely affected if we are unable to protect or enforce our rights to maintain our rights to our oil and gas interests.  Moreover, while we believe that we would have rights to receive or be refunded all amounts paid under our agreements, there is no assurance that our operating partners would have readily available funds from which to reimburse our advances.

  Item 5. Other Information
  Registration Statement of Form S-1
  On March 18, 2011, the Company filed with the SEC a registrationstatement on Form S-1 (the "Registration Statement") to register theresale of 96,288,726 shares of Company common stock, which included anaggregate of 1,000,000 shares of common stock issuable upon the exerciseof outstanding five-year common stock purchase warrants exercisable at $0.30 per share.  The Registration Statement was declared effective bythe SEC on April 8, 2011.
  Formation of Compensation Committee and 2011 Stock Incentive Plan
 
 On June 14, 2011, the Company established a compensation committee (the “Compensation Committee”), and appointed John Seitz and Thomas G. Loeffler to serve as the initial members of the committee.  Both John Seitz and Thomas G. Loeffler are “independent” directors, as such term is defined under independence standards used by both the NASDAQ Stock Market and NYSE Amex rules.On June 14, 2011, the Compensation Committeeadopted of the Company’s 2011 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”).  The plan was approved to reward long-term performance, encourage the achievement of superior results over time, align executive and stockholder interests, and retain executive management through the award of a combination of restricted stock, stock options and other stock-based compensation. The board of directors believes that by providing employees, consultants, and directors with an opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company and additional incentive and reward opportunities based on the growth of the Company, the 2011 Plan will give such individuals a stronger incentive to work for the continued success of the Company.
  -32-
 GULF UNITED ENERGY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 (A Development Stage Company)
  The board also believes that the 2011 Plan is critical for the Company in attracting and retaining outside personnel, without which we will not be competitive in the employment environment today.
 
 The 2011 Plan provides for the granting of options (either incentive stock options within the meaning of Section 422(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or options that do not constitute incentive stock options (“nonqualified stock options”), restricted stock awards, performance awards, incentive awards, and bonus stock awards.
 
 Our directors and all employees and consultants of the Company and its affiliates are eligible to participate in the 2011 Plan and to receive awards under the plan. However, incentive stock options may be granted only to individuals who are employees of the Company and its subsidiary corporations at the time of the grant. The selection of those employees, consultants and directors, from among those eligible, who will receive awards is within the discretion of the administrator of the 2011 Plan.
 
 The 2011 Plan covers an aggregate of 45,000,000 shares of Company common stock (subject to certain adjustments in the event of a reorganization, stock split, recapitalization, other change in our capital structure and certain other events (“adjustments”)). No more than 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock, subject to adjustments, may be issued pursuant to awards granted under the 2010 Plan to any one individual in any calendar year. The maximum aggregate cash payout with respect to performance awards granted to any one individual during a calendar year is $5,000,000.
 
 The 2011 Plan will be administered by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee has the power to determine those employees, consultants and/or outside directors who will receive an award, the time or times when such award will be made, the type of the award and the number of shares of Company common stock to be issued under the award or the value of the award.
 
 The Compensation Committee may from time to time, in its sole discretion, delegate to the Company’s chief executive officer the administration of the 2011 Plan, including the right to grant awards, insofar as such administration and power to grant awards relates to any person who is not subject to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such delegation may be effective only so long as the chief executive officer is a member of our board of directors, and the Compensation Committee may revoke the delegation at any time. The Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion, may place any conditions and restrictions on the powers delegated to the chief executive officer. In the event of a conflict in a determination or interpretation under the 2011 Plan as between the Compensation Committee and our chief executive officer, the determination or interpretation of the Compensation Committee will be conclusive.  The key features of the plan include: (i) no re-pricing of stock options without stockholder approval;(ii) no grants of discounted awards; (iii) independent committee administering the plan; (iv) the plan prohibits shares from being added back to the aggregate plan limit under the following circumstances: (1) shares tendered in payment of the option price; (2) shares withheld by the Company to satisfy the tax withholding obligation; and (3) shares that are repurchased by the Company with option right proceeds; (v) minimum three-year vesting requirements for options, restricted stock awards and incentive awards, except as awarded in lieu of cash compensation; and (vi) minimum one-year performance period for performance awards.
 
 Compensation for Non-Executive Directors
 
 On June 14, 2011, the Compensation Committee approved a new compensation structure for non-executive employees.  Under the approved structure, existing directors will receive a $40,000 annual cash retainer, and the Chairpersons of the Audit Committee and Compensation Committee will receive an additional $20,000 cash retainer.  Each director will also receive a $1,000 meeting fee and annual grant of equity from the 2011 Plan of 275,000 shares of restricted stock.  The shares subject to the restricted stock grant will vest over a period of three years.  New directors appointed to the board will receive an additional 275,000 shares of restricted stock.  Directors may elect to receive their cash compensation in shares of Company common stock.  If a director elects to receive cash, a 25% premium is added to the dollar amount received.
 
 Bonus and Stock Awards to Executive Officers
 
 On June 14, 2011, the Compensation Committee awarded cash bonuses to its executive officers.  Mr. Connally was awarded $400,000, each of Messrs. Ford, Miller, and Fluker were awarded $100,000, and Mr. Pomerantz was awarded $50,000 which were all accrued as of May 31,2011.
 
 -33-
 GULF UNITED ENERGY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 (A Development Stage Company)
