KODIAK ENERGY, INC.
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2009 and 2008


1.   ORGANIZATION, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTY

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Kodiak Energy, Inc. and subsidiaries (collectively “Kodiak”, the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”) as at September 30, 2009  and December 31, 2008 and for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 and for the cumulative period from April 7, 2004 (inception) until September 30, 2009, and are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U. S. GAAP”).

The Company was incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware on December 15, 1999 under the name “Island Critical Care, Corp.” with authorized common stock of 50,000,000 shares with a par value of $0.001. On December 30, 2004 the name was changed to “Kodiak Energy, Inc.” and the authorized common stock was increased to 100,000,000 shares with the same par value. On January 17, 2005 the Company affected a reverse split of 100 outstanding shares for one share. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared showing post split shares from inception. The Company was engaged in the development, manufacture and distribution of medical instrumentation and became inactive after the bankruptcy outlined below. During 2006, the Company increased its authorized capital to 300,000,000 common shares and in December, 2008 increased its authorized capital to include 10,000,000 preferred shares.

Bankruptcy

On February 5, 2003 the Company filed a petition for bankruptcy in the District of Prince Edward Island, Division No. 01-Prince Edward Island Court No. 1713, Estate No. 51-104460, titled “Island Critical Care Corp.”. The Company emerged from bankruptcy pursuant to a Bankruptcy Court Order entered on April 7, 2004 with no remaining assets or liabilities and adopted Fresh Start Accounting.

The terms of the bankruptcy settlement included the authorization for the issuance of 150,000 post split restricted common shares in exchange for $25,000, which was paid into the bankruptcy court by the recipient of the shares.

Since the Company emerged from bankruptcy, it has been an exploration stage company and its efforts have been principally devoted to the raising of capital, organizational infrastructure development, the acquisition of oil and gas properties and the initial stages of exploration to establish reserves for the purpose of future extraction of resources.

With the commencement of production from the properties acquired September 30, 2009 and October, 2009, the Company will no longer be an exploration stage company and will begin recognizing revenue and results of operations effective October, 2009.
 
The information in these consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2008 consolidated financial statements.

Going Concern Uncertainty

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which presumes the realization of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. From inception to September 30, 2009, the Company has incurred operating losses and has not generated any positive cash flow. The Company has a current working capital deficiency and will need additional working capital for future development and exploration and to enable it to repay its debt. The Company is currently in the process of arranging certain equity and longer term financing that will reduce its working capital deficiency and provide additional funding of near term development programs that are planned to significantly increase production, revenue and cash flow over the next nine months. It is contemplated that these transactions will completed before yearend. These conditions raise doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon obtaining sufficient working capital to finance ongoing operations. If successful, management's plans, including additional equity and/or debt financing, will address this uncertainty; however, there are no assurances that any such financing can be obtained on favorable terms, if at all, or that the Company will generate positive cash flow. These financial statements do not reflect the adjustments or reclassification of assets and liabilities that would be necessary if the Company were unable to continue its operations.

 
2. RESTATEMENT 

In March, 2009, we determined that it was necessary to restate our financial statements as at December 31, 2007. The purpose of the restatement was to correct an error in measurement and an error in the application of US GAAP in the course of recording the following 2007 transactions:
 
Issue of common shares of the Company in consideration for the acquisition of properties.
On September 28, 2007, the Company issued to Thunder River Energy, Inc. (“Thunder”) 7,000,000 common shares of the Company as partial consideration for the acquisition of properties. The shares issued were recorded at a negotiated price per share of $2.00 or $14,000,000. In the course of a review by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) of the Company’s Form 10-Q for the Fiscal Quarter Ended September 30, 2007 and Form 10-K for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2007, the SEC questioned the measurement date and the $2.00 per share value at which the transaction was recorded. Following an exchange of correspondence and discussions between the Company and the SEC during 2008 and 2009 regarding this issue, the Company has determined that the acquisition should have been recorded at a value per share of $2.50 or $17,500,000, which represents the fair value of exactly comparable common shares issued at the same $2.50 price per share as a private placement financing for 2,756,000 common shares which closed on September 28, 2007, the same date that the Thunder transaction closed. Management believes that the $2.50 Kodiak share price to be the most reliable measurement for the fair value of the shares issued and that September 28, 2007 to be the appropriate measurement date because that was the date when the parties’ closing conditions were satisfied and Thunder’s (the counterparty’s) performance was complete. The result of the restatement adjustment was an increase of $3,500,000 in the recorded acquisition cost and related issuance of common shares.

Issue of flow-through common shares of the Company at a premium.
 
On September 28, 2007, October 3, 2007 and October 30, 2007, the Company issued on a Canadian flow-through share basis 2,251,670 common shares of the Company at $3.00 per share or $6,755,010, which amount represented a premium of $.50 per share or $1,125,835 when compared to other non-flow through shares issued at the same time at $2.50 per share. At the time of the transactions, the issues of the flow through common shares were recorded as appropriate credits to par value of common shares and additional paid in capital. Following recent discussions with the Company’s tax consultant, the Company has determined that the $1,125,835 premium on flow-through common shares issued should have, in accordance with US GAAP, been recorded as a liability at the time the shares were issued rather than as additional paid in capital. A $147,000 portion of the premium liability discharged during the period October 1, 2007 to December 31, 2007, when flow-through eligible expenditures amounting to $879,922 were incurred by the Company, was recognized as a reduction of deferred tax expense.

3.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Kodiak Petroleum ULC, Kodiak Petroleum (Montana), Inc., Kodiak Petroleum (Utah), Inc. and its 93.6% owned subsidiary Cougar Energy, Inc. (formerly 1438821 Alberta Ltd.). In British Columbia, Canada, the Company operates under the assumed name of Kodiak Bear Energy, Inc. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Although these estimates are based on the knowledge of current events and actions the Company may undertake in the future, they may ultimately differ from actual results. Included in these estimates are assumptions about allowances for valuation of deferred tax assets. Accounts receivable are stated after evaluation as to their collectability and an appropriate allowance for doubtful accounts is provided where considered necessary. The provision for asset retirement obligation, depletion, as well as management’s impairment assessment on its oil and gas properties and other long lived assets are based on estimates and by their nature, these estimates are subject to measurement uncertainty and the effect on the financial statements of changes in these estimates, in future periods, could be significant. These estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically and, as adjustments become necessary, they are reported in earnings in the periods in which they become known. The current economic environment has increased the degree of uncertainty in these estimates and assumptions.

Joint Venture Operations

In instances where the Company’s oil and gas activities are conducted jointly with others, the Company’s accounts reflect only its proportionate interest in such activities.

Cash and Short Term Deposits

Cash and short term deposits consists of balances with financial institutions and investments in money market instruments, which have terms to maturity of three months or less at time of purchase.

 
16

 

Oil and Gas Properties

Under the full cost method of accounting for oil and gas operations, all costs associated with the exploration for and development of oil and gas reserves are capitalized on a country-by-country basis. Such costs include land acquisition costs, geological and geophysical expenses, carrying charges on non-producing properties, costs of drilling both productive and non-productive wells, production equipment and overhead charges directly related to acquisition, exploration and development activities. Proceeds from the sale of oil and gas properties are applied against capitalized costs with no gain or loss recognized, unless such a sale would significantly alter the rate of depletion and depreciation in a particular country, in which case a gain or loss on disposal is recorded.

Capitalized costs within each country are depleted and depreciated on the unit-of-production method based on the estimated gross proved reserves as determined by independent petroleum engineers. Oil and gas reserves and production are converted into equivalent units on the basis of 6,000 cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel of oil. Depletion and depreciation is calculated using the capitalized costs, including estimated asset retirement costs, plus the estimated future costs to be incurred in developing proved reserves, net of estimated salvage value.

An impairment loss is recognized in net earnings if the carrying amount of a cost center exceeds the “cost center ceiling”. The carrying amount of the cost center includes the capitalized costs of proved oil and natural gas properties, net of accumulated depletion and deferred income taxes. The cost center ceiling is the present value of the estimated future net cash flows from proved oil and natural gas reserves discounted at ten percent (net of related tax effects) plus the lower of cost or fair value of unproved properties included in the costs being amortized (and/or the costs of unproved properties that have been subject to a separate impairment test and contain no probable reserves).

Costs of acquiring and evaluating unproved properties and major development projects are initially excluded from the depletion and depreciation calculation until it is determined whether or not proved reserves can be assigned to such properties. Costs of unproved properties and major development projects are transferred to depletable costs based on the percentage of reserves assigned to each project over the expected total reserves when the project was initiated. These costs are assessed periodically using a separate test to ascertain whether impairment has occurred.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation of assets is provided by use of a declining balance method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Expenditures for replacements, renewals, and betterments are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.

 
17

 
 
Asset Retirement Obligations

The Company recognizes a liability for asset retirement obligations in the period in which they are incurred and in which a reasonable estimate of such costs can be made. Asset retirement obligations include those legal obligations where the Company will be required to retire tangible long-lived assets such as producing well sites. The asset retirement obligation is measured at fair value and recorded as a liability and capitalized as part of the cost of the related long-lived asset as an asset retirement cost. The asset retirement obligation accretes until the time the asset retirement obligation is expected to settle while the asset retirement costs included in oil and gas properties are amortized using the unit-of-production method.

Amortization of asset retirement costs and accretion of the asset retirement obligation are included in depletion, depreciation and accretion. Actual asset retirement costs are recorded against the obligation when incurred. Any difference between the recorded asset retirement obligations and the actual retirement costs incurred is recorded in depletion, depreciation and accretion.

Environmental

Oil and gas activities are subject to extensive federal, provincial, state and local environmental laws and regulations. These laws, which are constantly changing, regulate the discharge of materials into the environment and may require the Company to remove or mitigate the environmental effects of the disposal or release of petroleum or chemical substances at various sites.

Environmental expenditures are expensed or capitalized depending on their future economic benefit. Expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations and that have no future economic benefits are expensed. Liabilities for expenditures of a non-capital nature are recorded when environmental assessment and/or remediation is probable, and the costs can be reasonably estimated. To date, the Company has not recognized any environmental obligations as production has been insignificant and we have not actively produced since October 2006.
 
Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 740 "Income Taxes". Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the period that includes the enactment date. In addition, a valuation allowance is established to reduce any deferred tax asset for which it is determined that it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

 
18

 

Per FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”, under the asset and liability method, it is the Company’s policy to provide for uncertain tax positions and the related interest and penalties based upon management’s assessment of whether a tax benefit is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. At September 30, 2009, the Company believes it has appropriately accounted for any unrecognized tax benefits. To the extent the Company prevails in matters for which a liability for an unrecognized benefit is established or is required to pay amounts in excess of the liability, the Company’s effective tax rate in a given financial statement period may be affected. Interest and penalties associated with the Company’s tax positions are recorded as Interest Expense.

Flow-through Shares

The Company finances a portion of its Canadian exploration programs with flow-through common shares issued pursuant to certain provisions of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “Act”). Under the Act, where the proceeds are used for eligible expenditures, the related income tax deductions may be renounced to subscribers. Accordingly, the tax credits associated with the renunciation of such expenditures are recorded as an increase to deferred income tax liabilities. Any premium received from subscribers on the sale of such flow-through common shares is recorded initially as a current liability and then discharged and recognized as a reduction of deferred income taxes when the flow-through eligible expenditures relating to the flow-through premium are incurred by the Company.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company records compensation expense in the consolidated financial statements for share based payments using the fair value method pursuant to FASB ASC 718 "Stock Compensation". The fair value of share-based compensation to employees and other personnel will be determined using an option pricing model at the time of grant. Fair value for common shares issued for goods or services rendered by non-employees are measured based on the fair value of the goods or services received. Stock-based compensation expense is included in general and administrative expense with a corresponding increase to Additional Paid in Capital. Upon the exercise of the stock options, consideration paid together with the previously recognized Additional Paid in Capital is recorded as an increase in share capital.

Foreign Currency Translation

The functional currency for the Company’s foreign operations is the Canadian dollar. The translation from the applicable foreign currencies to U.S. dollars is performed for balance sheet accounts using current exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, while income, expenses and cash flows are translated at the average exchange rates for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a component of other comprehensive income. Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in other income/expenses.
 
 
19

 

Revenue Recognition
 
Revenues from the sale of petroleum and natural gas are recorded when deliverability occurs and title passes from the Company to its petroleum and/or natural gas purchaser under documented business arrangements at fixed or determinable prices and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company acquired proved reserves as of September 30, 2009 and will begin recognizing revenues from those properties as at October 1, 2009.

Loss Per Common Share

Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per common share is computed after giving effect to all dilutive potential common shares that were outstanding during the period. Dilutive potential common shares consist of incremental shares issuable upon exercise of stock options and warrants, contingent stock, conversion of debentures and preferred stock outstanding. The dilutive effect of potential common shares is not considered in the EPS calculations for these periods if the impact would have been anti-dilutive.


4.  RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In December 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an Amendment of ARB No. 51” (SFAS 160). This statement requires the recognition of a  noncontrolling interest (minority interest) as equity in the consolidated financial statements and separate from the parent’s equity. The amount of net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest will be included in consolidated net income on the face of the income statement. Changes in a parent’s ownership interest that result in deconsolidation of a subsidiary will result in the
recognition of a gain or loss in net income when the subsidiary is deconsolidated. SFAS 160 also includes expanded disclosure requirements regarding the interests of the parent and its noncontrolling interests. For the Company, SFAS No. 160 was effective January 1, 2009. The Company has adopted the presentation and disclosure requirements as recommended.

In September 2008, the EITF reached a consensus for exposure on Issue No. 08-6, “Equity Method Investment Accounting Considerations”. This issue addresses the accounting for equity method investments as a result of the accounting changes prescribed by SFAS 141(R) and SFAS 160. The issue includes clarification on the following: (a) transaction costs should be included in the initial carrying value of the equity method investment, (b) an impairment assessment of an underlying indefinite-life intangible asset of an equity method investment need only be performed as part of any other-than-temporary impairment evaluation of the equity method investment as a whole and does not need to be performed annually, (c) the equity method investee’s issuance of shares should be accounted for as the sale of a proportionate share of the investment, which may result in a gain or loss in income, and (d) a gain or loss should not be recognized when changing the method of accounting for an investment from the equity method to the cost method. For the Company, this issue was effective January 1, 2009. The impact of this issue did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

 
20

 

In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS 165, Subsequent Events . This standard establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date, but before financial statements are issued or available to be issued. Specifically, this standard codifies in authoritative GAAP standards the subsequent event guidance that was previously located in auditing standards. SFAS 165 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods ended after June 15, 2009 and is applied prospectively. We have adopted SFAS 165 in the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2009. The adoption of SFAS 165 did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operation or cash flows.

The following new accounting standards have been issued, but have not yet been adopted by the Company:

On December 31, 2008, the SEC adopted a final rule that amends its oil and gas reporting requirements. The revised rules change the way oil and gas companies report their reserves in the financial statements. The rules are intended to reflect changes in the oil and gas industry since the original disclosures were adopted in 1978. Definitions were updated to be consistent with Petroleum Resource Management System (PRMS). Other key revisions include a change in pricing used to prepare reserve estimates, the inclusion of non-traditional resources in reserves, the allowance for use of new technologies in determining reserves, optional disclosure of probable and possible reserves and significant new disclosures. The revised rules will be effective for our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009. The SEC is precluding application of the new rules in quarterly reports prior to the first annual report in which the revised disclosures are required and early adoption is not permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect the new rules will have on our financial reporting and anticipate that the following rule changes could have a significant impact on our results of operations as follows:

The price used in calculating reserves will change from a single-day closing price measured on the last day of the Company’s fiscal year to a 12-month average price, and will affect our ceiling test calculations.

Several reserve definitions have changed that could revise the types of reserves that will be included in our year-end reserve report.

Many of our financial reporting disclosures could change as a result of the new rules.

 
21

 

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles – a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162” (“SFAS No. 168”), to establish the codification as the source of authoritative accounting principles in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. All guidance contained in the codification carries an equal level of authority. SFAS No. 168 is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009 and will not have an effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R) . This standard changes the consolidation analysis for variable interest entities. SFAS 167 is effective for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2009. We are currently assessing the impact, if any, that the adoption of SFAS 167 will have on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company has capitalized $144,841 (September 30, 2008 - $ 267,030) of general and administrative personnel costs attributable to acquisition, exploration and development activities.
 
Property Acquisition

On September 30, 2009, Cougar acquired from an unrelated private company certain wells, facilities and producing operations in and adjacent to the CREEnergy Project in Alberta, Canada. The purchase price of the acquisition was $5,604,000 of which $934,000 was paid at closing. The non-interest bearing balance of $4,670,000 is payable in accordance with the terms set out in Note 11 Long-term Liabilities.

The cost of the acquisition is comprised of the following:

Land and producing properties
  $ 4,483,200  
Geophysical seismic data
    233,500  
Tangible Facilities
     887,300

Full Cost Accounting Ceiling Test on Canadian Proved Oil and Gas Properties

At September 30, 2009, a ceiling test was performed on the company's newly acquired Canadian cost center properties subject to depletion in which the net present value of future cash flows from the properties discounted at 10% and using period end pricing was compared to the carrying cost of the properties. Costs of unproved properties aggregating $14,492,857 has been excluded from costs subject to depletion. This test disclosed that the carrying costs of the Company's depletable Canadian properties exceeded their net present value by $354,286 and consequently a ceiling test write-down of that amount has been recorded in the third quarter. This shortfall resulted from the inclusion in the recognized cost of the acquired properties of $711,290 attributable to a premium paid for the properties in consideration for the vendor carrying $4,669,842 as non-interest bearing debt repayable as set out in Note 11.

Unproved Properties Impairment Test

The Company has performed impairment tests for its unproved properties in its Canadian and United States geographical cost centers as at September 30, 2009.  No impairment existed in its cost centers as at that date. In the second quarter of 2009, it was determined that, due to poor current economic factors regarding exploration and development in that part of Canada, an allowance for impairment was required for its Canadian cost center with respect to the Company's Little Chicago EL413 Exploration License in the N.W.T. of Canada. Consequently an allowance for impairment amounting to $16,035,774 was recorded in the second quarter of 2009 relating to the Company's cumulative capitalized land costs for the EL 413.

As at December 31, 2008, the carrying value of the Company’s unproved properties in its Canadian and United States cost centers were assessed by management and costs attributable to certain unproved properties were determined to be unsupportable. Consequently, impairment write-down as of December 31, 2008 of $284,391 and $498,867 for the Canadian and U.S cost centers, respectively, were recorded and included in depletion, depreciation and accretion for 2008.
   

8. LOAN PAYABLE

On September 30, 2009, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Ionic Capital Corp. ("Ionic"), under the terms of which Ionic loaned $1,260,857 to the Company to enable it to close the property acquisition described in Note 7. As at September 30, 2009, $991,036 had been received and the remaining $269,821 was recorded in accounts receivable (See Note 5). The Ionic indebtedness bears interest at the rate of 12% per annum payable monthly in arrears and is repayable at any time up to but no later than June 30, 2010. As additional financing consideration for the loan, the Company agreed to issue common shares of the Company based on the 10% discount to the closing trading price on September 27, 2009 that equated to 12% of the principal amount of the financing or $151,303. The 383,188 common shares of the Company that were issued to satisfy that obligation were recorded at a value of $187,762 based on the closing market price of the Company’s common shares on September 30, 2009. ((See Note 14 (b)).


9. NOTE PAYABLE TO RELATED PARTY

On November 24, 2008 the Company borrowed Cdn. $37,915 from Sicamous Oil & Gas Consultants Ltd., a company controlled by William S. Tighe, CEO, President and COO of the Company, under the terms of a demand note bearing interest at the Royal Bank of Canada prime rate plus 1% per annum.

10. ADVANCES

On June 17, 2009, the Company announced that Cougar had concluded strategic long term financing arrangements with a Swiss Private Equity Fund  ("the Fund") focused on the Energy Sector to develop its CREEnergy Joint Venture and other properties located in Western Canada. Key components of the Cougar financing package include:

 
1. Cdn. $1,400,000 in equity financing via a private placement of Cougar common shares at a price of $1.21 per common share;

 
2. Arrangement by the fund of a non-dilutive $4,670,000 development debt financing;

 
3. A $700,000 payment by the fund to Cougar to acquire the heavy oil rights on an equal basis with Cougar plus a 10% working interest in the conventional oil and gas opportunities when Cougar completes the nomination and leasing of the CREEnergy properties.  The Fund will be responsible for its share of all exploration and development costs following closing.
 
Negotiations are still being conducted to finalize these financing arrangements and it is anticipated that final agreement will be reached during the fourth quarter of 2009. If the proposed financing is fully drawn, Kodiak’s current 93.6% interest in Cougar will be reduced to approximately 81%.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company received $1,030,819 from the Fund as advances toward their obligations under these arrangements. (See Note 22).

12. ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS

Changes in the carrying amounts of the asset retirement obligations associated with the Company’s oil and natural gas properties are as follows:

Asset Retirement Obligations, December 31, 2008
  $ 199,574  
Currency Translation Adjustment
    15,527  
Obligations acquired (Note 7)
    798,077  
Obligations settled
    (2,372 )
Accretion
    9,966  
Asset retirement obligations, September 30, 2009
  $ 1,020,772  

At September 30, 2009, the estimated total undiscounted amount required to settle the asset retirement obligations was $ 2,386,969 (December 31, 2008 - $302,273). These obligations will be settled at the end of the useful lives of the underlying assets, which currently extends up to 8 years into the future. This amount has been discounted using a credit adjusted risk-free interest rate of 7.5% and a rate of inflation of 2.5%.


13. DEFERRED INCOME TAXES
 
At September 30, 2009, the Company's deferred tax asset attributable to its net operating loss carry forward is approximately $3,357,000 (December 31, 2008 - $2,802,000) and will expire if not utilized in the years 2024 to 2029. As reflected below, this benefit has been fully offset by a valuation allowance based on management's determination that it is not more likely than not that some or all of this benefit will be realized.
 
For the nine month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 and for the cumulative period April 7, 2004 (Date of Inception) to September 30, 2009, a reconciliation of income tax benefit at the U.S. federal statutory rate to income tax benefit at the Company's effective tax rates is as follows:

The change in the valuation allowance of $4,758,000 is net of $2,015,000 relating to currency revaluation adjustments that are included in the Comprehensive Loss in Shareholders' Equity.

Per FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”, under the asset and liability method, it is the Company’s policy to provide for uncertain tax positions and the related interest and penalties based upon management’s assessment of whether a tax benefit is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. At September 30, 2009, the Company believes it has appropriately accounted for any unrecognized tax benefits. To the extent the Company prevails in matters for which a liability for an unrecognized benefit is established or is required to pay amounts in excess of the liability, the Company’s effective tax rate in a given financial statement period may be affected. Interest and penalties associated with the Company’s tax positions are recorded as Interest Expense.

17. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Thunder Acquisition Commitments

On September 28, 2007 the Company purchased from Thunder River Energy, Inc. (“Thunder”) certain properties in Canada (Exploration License 413 – “EL 413”) and the United States in consideration for cash and common shares of the Company. As part of the transaction, the Company committed to issue up to 11 million additional common shares of the Company upon the achievement of certain milestones in connection with the acquired properties, including 6 million shares to be issued as follows: 2 million shares upon completion of a 2007/08 seismic program for which such shares were issued in July, 2008; 1 million shares upon the spudding of a shallow depth well (1,500 meters TD) by March 31, 2009; 1.5 million shares upon the spudding of a medium depth well (2,500 meters TD) before license expiry in 2009 and 1.5 million shares upon conversion of any part of EL 413 to a Significant Discovery Lease. During the third quarter of 2009, a right to extend the license term one year from September 17, 2009 upon the payment of license rentals was obtained. Due to the decline in the economic prospects for the area due to ongoing pipeline delays, commodity prices being significantly below levels required to justify commercial development of proved reserves and the inability to carry out a drilling program prior to expiry of the current extended license on September 17, 2010, the obligation to issue any additional contingent shares has terminated.

Vehicle Lease Commitments

As of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company had the following vehicle lease commitments as follows:
   
September 30,

18.           FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company, as part of its operations, carries a number of financial instruments. It is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, credit or currency risks arising from these financial instruments except as otherwise disclosed.

Plan of Operation

During the third quarter of 2009, the Company completed an acquisition of properties that represents its first significant producing resource property. On September 30, 2009, Cougar Energy, Inc., the Company’s majority-controlled Canadian subsidiary, acquired from an unrelated private company certain wells, facilities and producing operations in and adjacent to the CREEnergy project in Alberta, Canada. The acquisition includes 11 producing wells, 21 suspended wells and associated production, water disposal and pipeline facilities in the Trout field. Gross current production is approximately 170 barrels of oil per day. Cougar will be actively working this fall and winter to maximize production and revenue and will also be assessing other opportunities in the area to supplement this initial asset base.

The Company expects to finance its future capital expenditure programs with combinations of debt, farm-outs, equity financings and some divestitures. A description of the Company’s recent and planned activities for its core properties is included below.

Kodiak Energy, Inc. is a petroleum and natural gas exploration and development company whose primary objective is to identify, acquire and develop working interests in undeveloped or underdeveloped petroleum and natural gas prospects. We are focused on prospects located in Canada and the United States. The prospects we hold are generally under leases and include partial and full working interests. In all of our core properties, Kodiak is the operator and majority interest owner. In two properties, we have the option to perform certain exploratory drilling to earn additional interests. The prospects are subject to varying royalties due to the state, province or federal governments and, in some instances, to other royalty owners in the prospect.
 
The Company plans to aggressively develop and explore its newly acquired Cougar assets. An oil maintenance and development program is planned for the next nine months which is expected to result in increased production of approximately 300 barrels of oil per day (net). Drilling programs will be planned for the fourth quarter of 2010 where the seismic data supports the effort and expense and further drilling will be based on the results of the initial wells.

Production from the Company’s new proved reserves commenced on October 1, 2009 and recognition of the associated revenue and cash flow began on that date.

Core Properties

Canada

Trout - Alberta

Cougar has CREEnergy’s active cooperation and sponsorship to identify various operators working in the adjacent lands to the CREEnergy Project.  Over the last six  months, we negotiated commercial terms for area properties that have the greatest upside through normal maintenance and enhanced recovery programs as well as future potential with additional drilling.

These negotiations culminated at the end of September and beginning of October, 2009 with Cougar successfully acquiring producing the Trout Area properties from two private oil and gas companies.  The Cougar operations, land and geological team have already high graded many of the properties within these acquisitions and foresee considerable potential to increase existing production in this first round of development.  We anticipate operations to commence on these properties during the winter of 2009/10 consisting of a maintenance and work over program.  Un updated independent reserves evaluation report is in process of being completed and will be filed and posted on the corporate website in the near future.

The following represents a summary of the producing and non-producing acquisitions completed over the previous six months:

 
40

 

 
A.
Farmin (completed June 9, 2009)

 
1.
28 sections of land in the area of the CREEnergy Project, northwest of Red Earth Creek, Alberta
 
 
2.
Cougar has 100% working interest
 
 
3.
The mineral rights within the farmin agreement are currently held under several Alberta Crown 4-year initial term P&NG licenses expiring in September 2010 – the rights can be grouped and validated with a drilling program and subsequently continued under a 5 year intermediate term license
 
 
4.
Close to infrastructure – existing pipelines with capacity and all weather roads
 
 
5.
The wells would have a maximum depth of approximately 1,700 meters (5,577 feet) and potentially target the Gilwood, Slave Point, Wabamun, Gething, and Bluesky formations
 
 
6.
There is existing regional natural gas infrastructure and the target formations should contain sweet natural gas, which would reduce production and processing charges.
 
A drilling program has been prepared for one initial well and two subsequent wells.  Contingent upon financing this program will be evaluated and funds allocated to the best net back between this gas project and the other oil developments.  An 18 month payback criteria will be used prior to assigning capital to this project.


 
B.
Private Company Production and Property Acquisition (completed October 1, 2009)

 
1.
2560 gross acres of land within and adjacent to  the CREEnergy Project area lands
 
 
2.
65% working interest in six wells – 2 producing wells and 4 suspended wells
 
 
3.
Approximately 12 barrels per day (bbl/d) net production (20 bbl/d gross) of light oil
 
 
4.
Existing wells and reserves are located in the Kidney and Equisetum fields
 
 
5.
Production facilities
 
Cougar negotiated a purchase agreement with the private company consisting of cash for the P1 reserves and Cougar shares for the P2 reserves.  These properties are located within or adjacent to the CREEnergy Project lands.  This acquisition was important for us to solidify our position with CREEnergy.

 
41

 


 
C.
Private Company Production and Property Acquisition (completed September 30, 2009)

 
1.
7,100 gross acres of mineral rights with an average 85% working interest (all continued through production, no expiries)
 
 
2.
Approximately 125 barrels per day (bbl/d) net production (170 bbl/d gross)
 
 
3.
11 pumping wellbores
 
 
4.
8 single well batteries
 
 
5.
3 water disposal wellbores with associated facilities
 
 
6.
1 observation wellbore
 
 
7.
21 suspended wellbores
 
 
8.
2 multi well batteries with existing fluid handling capacity in excess of 2500bbl/day (oil, gas and water handling and treating capability)
 
 
9.
Approximately 38.7 km of pipelines (oil and produced water)
 
 
10.
Approximately 13 km 2 of 3D seismic over the properties
 
 
11.
Approximately 84 km of 2D seismic over the properties and adjacent lands
 
The agreed purchase price was CAD$6,000,000 with an initial payment of CAD$1,000,000 at closing.   The purchase price was negotiated at $52.50 per barrel (bbl) when oil is currently selling at $75+/bbl.

After operating costs, there is an average of CAD$50.00 net back per barrel at current commodity prices.  The cash portion of the acquisition cost was provided by Kodiak.

This was a critical mass property acquisition as there is substantial infrastructure, resulting in lower overall operating costs, lower development costs and giving our schedule an enormous leap forward to achieve our goals

Without this kind of infrastructure, the initial production would have lower net backs due to higher trucking costs and regular non-producing periods due to weather.  In lieu of this acquisition, a large amount of capital would have to be spent to bring facilities to this baseline, which we now have.

At current costs, the infrastructure replacement value would be substantially in excess of CAD$6,000,000.   This capital will now be able to be spent on the drill bit and development work – allowing for a more aggressive growth plan.

 
42

 
 
Additional details include:

 
·
The existing pipeline systems provides direct access to sales of oil products, which results in the access to sales being in our control and not third party pipeline operator dependent.
 
 
·
There are 2 batteries for the handling and treating of oil and the disposal of the produced water. The batteries are capable of handling an estimated 2,500 bbl/d with nominal refit costs.
 
 
·
Many of the wells are piped into the batteries to lower the need for trucking which is especially important for the higher water cut wells – these pipelines can be expanded to further lower operating costs.
 
 
·
The produced water can be used for future water floods – which regularly have been shown in the area to add substantial incremental production.
 
 
·
There are 37 wells, which 11 are currently producing – the 22 suspended wells have potential upside, as discussed below.
 
 
·
The existing area field personnel willingly transferred to Cougar and their many years of hands-on field expertise has already added value.

This acquisition, combined with the smaller acquisition, provides a solid foundation for us to further enhance the Trout area properties, along with the existing operating and facilities to give substantial momentum to our plans.  We believe this justifies the acquisition on that basis alone.  There is great potential upside we see on these properties, with additional capital commitments this winter 2009/10 on maintenance programs discussed next.

Upside in Maintenance Programs

We conducted a detailed review of the of the acquired properties public domain petroleum records over last 5 to 7 years with a comparison to other operators in the area.  Our operations and geological teams foresee a considerable potential to increase production through normal maintenance activities.  Some of these normal maintenance activities include and are not limited to:

 
·
Acid wash of perforations
 
 
·
Setting of bridge plugs to seal off water
 
 
·
Waterflood programs
 
 
·
Cleanouts
 
 
·
Reperforating
 
 
·
Repairs to wells with separated rods
 
 
·
Pump optimization,
 
 
·
Plug off water sources
 
 
·
Horizontal drilling
 
 
·
Use of Low damage drilling fluids

Since these existing technologies have proven to be successful in other similar maintenance programs in the area, we see a high potential to enhance the current production levels within this property.

CREEnergy Lands, Alberta

History

Kodiak has a well developed relationship and track record with Aboriginal communities in northern Canada.  This comes from a strong commitment by Kodiak management and personnel for open and honest communications and negotiations with the Aboriginal community leaders – a demonstrated respect for their culture, land and residents.   Kodiak's reputation has also been recognized through negotiations with regulatory agencies, resulting in several of those agreements being used as templates with other companies and projects.  As a result, our reputation has become known outside the far north of Canada.

CREEnergy Oil and Gas Inc. (CREEnergy) is the authorized agent for multiple First Nations communities.  Some of these new First Nations communities are in various stages of ratification from the Federal Government of Canada to satisfy outstanding Treaty Land Entitlement (TLE) claims.  Within these new First Nations are approximately 15 townships or 540 sections of mineral rights for development in Alberta.

In order to advance economic sustainability for First Nations communities that CREEnergy represents, CREEnergy searched for an oil and gas partner to develop certain oil and gas projects.  Kodiak was one of the industry companies shortlisted in the search.  Through discussions, meetings and negotiations since May 2008, CREEnergy selected Kodiak as their joint venture partner to develop those resource projects.  The joint venture agreement between CREEnergy and Kodiak is the result of the negotiations.

To develop and strengthen the relationship with CREEnergy, Kodiak formed a subsidiary company, Cougar Energy, Inc.  As a result, Cougar is the operating entity for Kodiak in Western Canada.

Joint Venture Information and Summary

In December 2008, a new working relationship and joint venture agreement was established between CREEnergy Oil and Gas Inc. (CREEnergy) and Kodiak Energy, Inc. (Kodiak).  The Agreement was built on the foundation of respect for the First Nations communities, their Heritage, their Lands and the Environment.  This is a strategic alliance.  CREEnergy has agreed to work with Kodiak to develop oil and gas reserves within their lands for the benefit of both CREEnergy and Kodiak.

Joint Venture Agreement

Key priorities were established from the discussions between CREEnergy and Kodiak:

 
·
Use the royalties from the oil and gas production and work programs to develop a revenue stream.  The long term purpose of the revenue is to support education, employment and development opportunities for the First Nations communities that Cougar is working with.
 
 
·
Open communication at all stages of the oil and gas developments.
 
 
·
Staged and managed growth, with regard to the interests of the communities during each step.
 
 
·
Identify and source other development opportunities, using a similar model, either as a value add or on a joint venture basis.
 

 
44

 
 
Current Status

Cougar continues to actively work with CREEnergy as they assist their First Nations communities to achieve the goal of independence though the Treaty Land Entitlement (TLE) claim with the Federal Government of Canada and the Province of Alberta.  This process is nearing completion.  We engage with CREEnergy on a weekly basis through conference calls, monthly in person status meetings, and a continual dialogue to foster open communication.

Lucy – Northern British Columbia

The Corporation is the operator and 80% working interest owner of a 1,920 acre lease located in northeastern British Columbia. The Corporation believes the lease is situated on the southeast edge of the Horn River Basin and the Muskwa Shale gas prospect. Industry continues to show increased interest in this shale gas play with several comparisons of the Muskwa Shale gas potential as an analogue of the Barnett Shale gas potential.

The Corporation has been involved in two previous drilling operations on the lease. In the fourth quarter of 2006, Kodiak farmed in as a non-operated partner, paying 10% to earn 7.5%, on a drilling operation in the Lucy (Gunnell) area. This first drilling operation, designed to target a Middle Devonian reef prospect, had several operational problems and was unsuccessful.

After performing an internal review of seismic and drilling data, it was determined there was a seismic anomaly on the southern half of the lease. This anomaly was identified on several different seismic lines and a decision was made to drill a well on that part of the lease to evaluate both the anomaly as the primary target and the Muskwa Shale, seen in the first well but not evaluated by the operator at that time.
In the third quarter of 2007, the Corporation served partners with an independent operations notice which resulted in the Corporation increasing its working interest in the lease to 80%. In the first quarter of 2008, a second drilling operation was completed and a vertical well was cased. It was determined that the Middle Devonian seismic anomaly was not a reef buildup and the wellbore was cased due to encountering significant gas shows in the previously identified Muskwa Shale with a formation thickness of approximately sixty meters.

The Corporation submitted an application to the British Columbia Oil & Gas Commission (“OGC”) for an experimental scheme to test the Muskwa Shale gas potential. On August 12, 2008, Kodiak received the final approval of the Lucy experimental scheme application. The Corporation has prepared a multi-phase work program designed to test the deliverability of the Muskwa Shale gas formation using vertical and horizontal drilling and completion techniques. Kodiak’s proposed work program would allow for early production into a pipeline in order to monitor long-term deliverability rates and pressures of horizontal and vertical test wells on the periphery of the Horn River Basin.

These results would be some of the first commercial production results for a Horn River Basin shale gas project and would provide information that would help define the effective exploration area of the Basin and assist in the validation of adjoining properties in a divestiture process, should that occur.

Kodiak contracted an industry-recognized shale gas assessment laboratory to prepare and analyze the drill cuttings from the 2008 well in order to evaluate the Muskwa Shale interval for gas potential. The shale gas assessment is conducted by performing various tests on the rock cuttings that were obtained while drilling the well in order to determine the type, quality and amount of both adsorbed and free gas.

The most important conclusion from the drill cutting analysis is that the information received continues to support the evaluation of Kodiak’s Muskwa (Evie) Shale gas prospect. The laboratory data is consistent with other public industry and government data on the Muskwa Shale. It should also be noted that the numbers obtained on the laboratory analysis of drill cuttings may be conservative due to the nature of sampling drill cuttings on a drilling rig. Another significant point is that all three wells on the Kodiak lease, drilled deep enough to penetrate the Muskwa Shale, had elevated gas detector readings while penetrating the shales.

The prospect is still in the early stages of delineation and no assurance can be given that its exploitation will be successful. However, based on well cuttings and drilling data, Kodiak’s internal technical analysis has projected similar volumetrics as many of the other majors in the area are projecting. In this analysis, the Corporation used all of the laboratory analysis findings and wellbore information obtained during the drilling operation. Further appraisal work is required before estimates can be finalized and commerciality assessed.

In April, 2009, Kodiak, through its private subsidiary, Cougar, entered into a standard farmout and participation agreement with one of its partners. The partner would provide 90% of the funding for the first phase of the “Lucy” Horn River work program. Upon completion of the funding, the partner will have earned an additional 30% working interest in the wells and property. Cougar will maintain operator status and majority ownership of the project with the management of Kodiak/Cougar overseeing the execution of the work program. Upon fulfillment of the funding provisions of the farmout and participation agreement, Cougar’s working interest in the “Lucy” Horn River Basin project would be 50%.

Our partner did not complete its financing commitment and this farmout and participation agreement expired on August 15, 2009. After due diligence was completed in October, 2009, the partner transferred its interest in its Alexander and Crossfield, Alberta wells to the Company as a penalty for non-completion.

Little Chicago – Northwest Territories

The Company is the operator and largest working interest owner of the 201,160 acre Exploration Licen s e 413 (“EL 413”) in the Mackenzie River Valley centered along the planned Mackenzie Valley Pipeline.

In 2006, the Company signed an exploration farm-in agreement with the two 50% working interest owners of EL 413.   The company reprocessed 50 km of existing seismic data in Q4 of 2006 and during the 2006-07 winter work season, the Company shot and acquired 84 km of high resolution proprietary 2D seismic and gravity survey data on the farm-out lands, thus earning a 12.5% working interest in the property. In September, 2007, the Company acquired Thunder River Energy, Inc.’s (“Thunder”) remaining 43.75% in the property giving the Company a 56.25% interest in EL 413. A letter of intent signed earlier in 2008 with the Company’s remaining partner in the project, which would have allowed Kodiak to acquire the balance of the working interest in EL 413 and become a 100% working interest owner, recently expired.

A 2007-08 43 km 2D high resolution proprietary seismic program and gravity survey was completed on the property and the results were processed and interpreted and used to support the Corporations planned drilling program. This project was completed on budget and schedule. The seismic and gravity data from the two projects show substantial structural closure and formation character and support the planning for a future multiple well drilling program. That data was included in an updated Chapman Prospective Resource report published in May, 2008.

The decision to acquire additional seismic and gravity data in the winter of 2007-08 was made to improve the potential to drill both the Devonian Bear Rock and the Basal Cambrian Sand targets f rom a common drilling site. This would substantially lower drilling costs on a per well basis and reduce the overall project risk.
 
Kodiak has analyzed the 2007-08 seismic data and the various reservoir indicators/lands and identified 11 drill locations . These drill locations have been selected to evaluate three primary target formations on EL 413 including the Devonian Bear Rock Oil Prospect, the Basal Cambrian Sand /Top Precambrian Oil and Gas Prospect and the Canol Oil Prospect . These locations have been further high graded into a two phase drilling program consisting of two wells with a planned total depth of 2400 meters each targeting both the Basal Cambrian/Precambrian and the Bear Rock prospects and a m ulti-well shallow drilling program with a planned total depth of 400m each targeting the Canol prospect. A scouting trip was completed in the third quarter of 2008 which allowed the Corporation to review potential access routes, well sites and camp locations.

The Devonian Bear Rock Prospect (“ Bear Rock” ) is the first described target and is located at a shallow depth of approximately 700 meters (2,300 ft.). This reservoir was previously identified and preliminarily evaluated in the initial Chapman Report prepared in 2005. The expected product from the reservoir is light and medium oil, with no consideration to solution gas.

The combined seismic obtained during 2007 and 2008 acknowledged a series of pools distributed throughout the project. The Chapman Report identified fifteen Bear Rock leads located along the seismic lines with five of them being selected as well defined high grade Bear Rock leads. This is an increase of 5 additional leads from the initial 2007 work program. Indicators of these potentially prolific reservoirs are present along several seismic lines that may imply these Bear Rock occurrences to be present throughout EL 413.  

The additional 2008 seismic further defined a hydrocarbon trap in the Basal Cambrian Sand sitting on the top of the Precambrian. This interval, found at a depth of approximately 2,300 meters (7,545 feet), has never been regionally penetrated and tested; however, it has been proven as a productive reservoir in the Colville Hills area approximately 125 kilometers (77 miles) east of EL 413.  With this additional data, the Chapman Report identified five drilling locations that will allow the Basal Cambrian Sand and the top of the Precambrian to be drilled and tested.

Physical evidence of hydrocarbons is present with a natural surface oil seep on the northern edge of the license area on the banks of the Mackenzie River. This natural occurrence is suggestive of a shallow oil pool, possibly in the Canol formation, and warrants further investigation. While reviewing core samples and well logs from previous regional drilling activity. Kodiak was able to map out the Canol/Imperial formation and determine that it is the likely source of the natural surface seeps. This prospect will be found on the Northwest quarter of EL 413 and is at a very shallow depth of approximately 350 meters (1,148 feet). The Corporation has identified five drilling locations which could be evaluated during a planned future project drilling program.

In addition, Kodiak had made application with regulators to extend the EL 413 license and has received written notification from Indian and Northern Affairs Canada that a one year extension is available. The one year license extension, which is subject to certain terms and conditions, was provide just prior to expiry and provides for one additional year.

Upon review of the overall status of all projects in the area, current commodity prices being much below levels required to justify development on this and other projects, continued delay of the Mackenzie Valley Pipeline Project, the risk that any discovered gas reserves would be indefinitely stranded without such development, the Company continues to seek partnership in the development; however, the deteriorating economic facors make this difficult. We will still retain the confidential proprietary seismic data for future assessment of the "Little Chicago Prospect" and the Company will determine the best way to monetarize that asset through either divestiture and/or possibly renominating  the prospect when  conditions are more appropriate.

Province/Granlea – Southeast Alberta

The Corporation purchased a 50% working interest in two sections (1280 acres gross - 640 net) of P&NG rights at a provincial land sale on September 22, 2005. In 2005, a 2D seismic program was completed on the property and in 2006, a well was drilled and completed; surface facilities were installed and a pipeline tie-in was completed. Production commenced in September, 2006. The well produced for a short period until excess water rates occurred and in October, 2006 the well was shut in. After the well bore was evaluated as having n o current economic production potential, the well was abandoned. An internal geological review of the prospect will be done to determine if any further drilling is warranted.

United States

New Mexico

Through its acquisition of Thunder, the Corporation acquired a 100% interest in 55,000 acres of property located in northeast New Mexico. Additional land acquisitions have increased the Corporation’s land position to approximately 79 ,000 acres. These lands have potential for natural gas and CO2 and oil and helium resources at shallow depths. In 2008, the Corporation purchased 19,000 stations of gravity data and 37 miles of trade seismic data, completed a 35 mile 2D high resolution proprietary seismic program and a three well drilling program.

The three wells were drilled with air to reduce formation damage and they were cased to the base of the Yeso formation. Based on gas detector results, drill cutting samples and open hole logs, all wells showed three potential shallow porous sandstone formations capable of CO2 production with up to 200 feet of identified net pay thickness. The Yeso, Glorieta and Santa Rosa formations were perforated and flow tested to determine deliverability and pressure. There were multiple gas samples analyzed at specialized independent laboratories from two separate extended flow tests that identified CO2 concentration quality from 98.4% to 99.5%. Two of the wells were stimulated with a nitrified acid squeeze and were able to sustain an extended flow rate of approximately 375mcf/d. The shallow sands have been mapped using offset well control and the newly acquired seismic data and the Corporation has determined there is a very high likelihood of encountering the target formations throughout the leased project area; provided, however, that no assurance can be given that this will be the case.

The 35 mile 2D high resolution seismic program was completed on schedule and on budget and after reviewing the seismic data, the Company was able to effectively map out a probable long term development area which would result in CO2 production from the previously identified formations. The seismic is currently being evaluated to identify possible conventional oil and gas prospects on the leased project area.

 
49

 

A preliminary project feasibility study was commissioned to identify capital development costs and timelines as well as projected operating costs in order to provide information to support a large scale long-term plan of development.  This information will enable the definitions for pipeline access planning and negotiation, transportation agreements, sales contracts for the CO2, additional land acquisition terms and conditions, facility engineering and construction and ultimately the parameters for financing the project development. 

Several companies have expressed interest in participating in the New Mexico properties at several levels of involvement.  Discussions are still ongoing with several firms regarding potential opportunities for the project, including integration of the CO2 production into Permian Basin enhanced oil recovery projects and the Company has also entered into farmout negotiations with several companies interested in exploring deeper oil and natural gas prospects on the properties. 

Due to lower commodity prices for Permian Basin oil  (the primary market for CO2) and CO2 contract prices (deliverable into the Denver City Hub), aggressive development is not financeable at this time. Aside from ongoing maintenance of leases and wells, the company is focusing its efforts on updating engineering models, and business opportunities so that when prices recover and investment markets improve, we will have the opportunity to move this project forward. The leases are 10 year leases and no expiries are imminent.

Montana

During 2006, the Company, under a joint venture farmout agreement, participated in a seismic acquisition program and a two well drilling program to earn a 50% non-operating working interest in the wells and well spacing. This joint venture project provides the company with the right to participate on a 50% basis going forward on this prospect in the Hill County area of Montana. The Operator of the project had 60,000 contiguous undeveloped acres of P&NG rights in the area, as well as some excess capacity in facilities and pipelines. Two wells were drilled in the third quarter of 2006; one is cased for subsequent evaluation of the multiple zones found and one was abandoned. In order to facilitate the efficient exploration of this prospect area, the company has acquired from the original operator a 100% working interest of 12,000 acres of P&NG rights while retaining the right to participate and initiate operations on the remaining approximate 48,000 acres of prospect leases. After an internal geological review of this prospect, and in light of current commodity prices, the Company, in the fourth quarter of 2008, wrote off its costs relative to this project and subsequently, in 2009, the Company has allowed the acreage to expire.

Financial Condition and Changes in Financial Condition
(All dollar values are expressed in United States dollars unless otherwise stated)

The Company’s ability to raise funds has been severely impacted by the global collapse of credit and equity markets; however, the Company has been able, during these difficult times, to complete a property acquisition on favourable credit terms that will provide the basis for continuing exploration and development programs and ultimately lead the Company during the next few years to a promising future as a junior oil and gas producer.  The Company is confident that it will be able to obtain financing that will enable it to carry out its planned programs for the balance of 2009 and for 2010.
 
The Company’s total assets of $33,650,570 as at September 30, 2009 represent a reduction of $3,520,827 from $37,171,397 as at December 31, 2008. This reduction is mainly comprised of a $16,036,000 impairment allowance recorded in the second quarter of 2009 in connection with the Company's Little Chicago Exploration License 413 in N.W.T, Canada offset by capital asset additions of $7,259,000 and a foreign currency translation gain of $5,141,000 related to its net Canadian assets. Our total assets consist of cash and other current assets of $546,244 (December 31, 2008 - $245,562); Oil and gas properties and equipment of $32,814,129 (December 31, 2008 - $36,634,932); and other assets of $290,197 (December 31, 2008 - $290,903). Our total current liabilities were $4,647,530 (December 31, 2008 - $1,140,273) and consisted of accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $1,552,641 (December 31, 2008 - $1,107,432); loan payable of $1,260,857 (December 31, 2008 - $ Nil); current portion of long-term debt of $803,213 (December 31, 2008 - $ Nil) and 1,030,819 (December 31, 2008 - $ Nil) in advances received from a European investment fund in anticipation of certain financing and asset disposition transactions. We had long-term liabilities of $3,911,293 (December 31, 2008 - $39,262) and asset retirement obligations of $1,020,772 (December 31, 2008 - $199,574). The new loan payable, long-term debt and asset retirement obligations resulted from the financing and acquisition that closed September 30, 2009. Shareholders’ equity amounted to $24,070,975 (December 31, 2008 - $35,792,288), net of an accumulated deficit of $26,585,756 (December 31, 2008 - $8,710,088) and other comprehensive gain consisting mainly of a net foreign currency translation gain of $237,624 (December 31, 2008 – $4,903,762 loss), and non controlling interest equity of $369,326 (December 31, 2008 - $ nil) relating to the 6.4% interest held by non controlling shareholders of Cougar.

Overall Operating Results

In the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company had no income (2008 - $46) and operating costs of $6,793 (2008 - $8,863) relating to its Granlea, Alberta property which well watered out in late 2006 and was deemed uneconomic. Except for that incidental production, the Company remained in the exploratory and development stage up to September 30, 2009. Effective October 1, 2009, the company will begin having production and receiving revenue from the producing properties it acquired September 30, 2009 as described elsewhere in this report.

Net Loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 totalled $17,875,668 (2008 - $620,123 as restated). In addition to the operating results noted above, these losses consist of general and administrative expenses of $1,506,760 (2008 - $1,620,905), including stock-based compensation expense amounting to $488,686 (2008 - $507,790); depletion, depreciation and accretion of $16,405,480 (2008 - $41,718) and interest of $304 (2008 $1,257).

General and administrative expenses include the cost of employed and consulting personnel and others who provided investor relations services, public company costs for SEC reporting compliance, accounting, audit and legal fees and other general and administrative office expenses. General and administrative expense also includes stock-based compensation relating to the cost of stock options granted to directors, officers, employees and other personnel. General and administrative costs are being minimized during periods of low activity but are expected to increase in the future as the scope of the company’s activities increases.
 
Depletion, depreciation and accretion for 2009 includes a $16,035,774 provision for impairment in connection with the Company's Little Chicago Exploration License 413 in N.W.T, Canada and a $354,286 ceiling test write-down in connection with its Canadian depletable properties. Other unproved property costs as at September 30, 2009 of $25,766,264 (December 31, 2008 - $36,559,367) have been excluded from depletable cost pools for ceiling test purposes. See note 7 to the consolidated financial statements.

Interest income of $967 in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 (2008 - $73,739) was earned. The 2008 interest was derived from the investment of excess cash balances on a short-term basis. Deferred income tax recovery of $978,835 in the 2008 period represents a deferred tax credit arising from the expenditure of funds during that year relating to the premium received on the issue of Canadian flow-through shares in 2007. The non controlling interest credit of $46,866 represents the Cougar non controlling shareholders’ share of the net loss for the 2009 period during the portion of the year that the minority interests shareholdings were outstanding (6.4% as at September 30, 2009).

Land acquisition and carrying costs for the 2009 period include the cost of the September 30, 2009 acquired properties and exclusivity rights payments in connection with our Cree Energy agreement and other land retention costs while the 2008 period costs include New Mexico land acquisitions and other land retention costs.

Geological and geophysical costs include the cost of the September 30, 2009 acquired seismic data and costs of the seismic programs carried out on the EL 413 Little Chicago, North West Territory and New Mexico projects in 2008.

Intangible drilling and completion costs for 2008 include the Company’s 57% share of the drilling of the second Lucy well in British Columbia and 100% of the three well New Mexico program.

Liquidity and Capital Resources:

Since inception to September 30, 2009, the company’s operations have been financed from the sale of securities and loans from shareholders. The working capital deficiency at September 30, 2009 amounted to $4,101,286 (December 31, 2008 - $894,711). The increase in the deficiency results from the debt incurred related to the September 30, 2009 property acquisition. The Company is currently in the process of arranging certain equity and longer term financing that will reduce the working capital deficiency to a manageable amount and provide additional funding of near term development programs that are planned to significantly increase production, revenue and cash flow over the next nine months. It is contemplated that these transactions will completed before yearend.

 
53

 

In addition, we may require funds for additional acquisitions. In the event that additional capital is raised at some time in the future, existing shareholders will experience dilution of their interest in the Corporation.

There is uncertainty that the Company will continue as a going concern, which presumes the realization of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company has not generated positive cash flow from operations since inception and has incurred operating losses and will need additional working capital for its future planned activities and to enable it to repay its debt. Although the recent property acquisitions will provide production, revenue and cash flow, the Company's September 30, 2009 financial condition still raises doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon obtaining sufficient working capital to finance ongoing operations. The Company’s strategy to address this uncertainty, includes additional equity and debt financing; however, there are no assurances that any such financings can be obtained on favorable terms, if at all. These consolidated financial statements do not reflect the adjustments or reclassification of assets and liabilities that would be necessary if the Company were unable to continue its operations .
 
Voluntary Delisting of Company's Shares From TSX Venture Exchange in Canada

On November 4, 2009, The Company voluntarily requested the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSX-V") in Canada to delist its common shares from trading on the TSX-V. See "PART II Item 5. Other Information" in this Form 10-Q for further information on the delisting.

 
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in petroleum and natural gas and related hydrocarbon prices, foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates.
 
Petroleum and Natural gas and Related Hydrocarbon Prices
 
The Company currently has no petroleum and natural gas and related hydrocarbon reserves or production so the Company therefore has no current exposure related to the instability of prices of such commodities. However; the prices of these commodities are unstable and are subject to fluctuation, due to factors outside of the Company’s control, including war, weather, the availability of alternate fuel and transportation interruption and any material decline in these commodity prices could have an adverse impact on the economic viability of the Company’s exploration projects.

 
54

 
 
Foreign Currency Exchange Rates
 
The Company, operating in both the United States and Canada, faces exposure to adverse movements in foreign currency exchange rates. These exposures may change over time as business practices evolve and could materially impact the Company’s financial results in the future. To the extent revenues and expenditures denominated in other currencies vary from their U. S. dollar equivalents, the Company is exposed to exchange rate risk. The Company can also be exposed to the extent revenues in one currency do not equal expenditures in the same currency. The Company is not currently using exchange rate derivatives to manage exchange rate risks.
 
Interest Rates
 
The Company’s interest income and interest expense, in part, is sensitive to the general level of interest rates in North America. The Company is not currently using interest rate derivatives to manage interest rate risks.
 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15-d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. They concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures are designed , and are effective, to give reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files under the exchange act is recorded , processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and also effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. They also concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were adequate and effective in ensuring that material information relating to the Company would be made known to them by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which this report was being prepared. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and in reaching a reasonable level of assurance, management necessarily is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
Our management believes that our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at that reasonable assurance level. As noted below, the Company continues to have a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting but believes that such weakness does not extend into our disclosure controls and procedures.

2007 Restatement

During the process of preparing the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2008, it was determined that it may be necessary to restate our consolidated financial statements for the Fiscal Quarter Ended September 30, 2007 and the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2007. The restatements would be required to correct for an error in measurement and an error in the application of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”) in recording two September, 2007 transactions as described in Note 2 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements.
 
After discussing these matters with other management, the CFO recommended to the Audit Committee that previously reported financial results be restated to reflect correction of these errors. The Audit Committee agreed with this recommendation. Pursuant to the recommendation of the Audit Committee, the Board of Directors determined at its meeting on March 13, 2009, that previously reported results for the Company be restated. On March 27, 2009, amended consolidated financial statements for the above noted periods were filed.

Both of these errors resulted from the Company not seeking appropriate external advice regarding the accounting of certain transactions that were complex and not subject to routine accounting principles. One error was in measuring the appropriate date at which common shares of the Company were issued in consideration for the acquisition of unproved oil and gas properties, an arm’s length transaction that was negotiated over a period of several months during 2007 but not finally closed until September 28, 2007, at which date the common shares were issued. The second error was in the application of US GAAP in the accounting for the complexities involved relating to premium proceeds received on the issue of Canadian flow-through shares, a Canadian income tax concept not in practice in the United States. These errors demonstrated a material weakness relating to the segregation of duties among financial and accounting personnel and a need to engage additional personnel or seek outside advice where appropriate to strengthen internal control over financial reporting.

Remediation of Weakness in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The Company will endeavor to engage outside consulting assistance to ensure the proper accounting for non-routine accounting transactions and compliance with US GAAP. Since 2008, the Company has engaged an outside consulting firm to assist in income tax planning and compliance and beginning with our fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, to review our yearend and quarterly Canadian and U.S. income tax provisions.

As at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company continues to have a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting, relating to the segregation of duties among certain personnel. Management believes that without engaging additional personnel, estimated to cost a minimum of approximately $150,000 per annum, we cannot remedy such material weakness. Management believes such expenditures will be justifiable in the near future now that the Company has acquired producing properties and commencing with the fourth quarter of 2009 will have production, revenue and cash from operations. The Company has also hired a Vice-President of Finance, effective November 2, 2009, which we believe will help to alleviate our segregation of duties weakness. Management believes its controls and procedures related to its financial and corporate information systems are appropriate for a company of its size and mandate and due to its internal expertise, it is not dependent upon the inherent risks in external third party management of such systems.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
 
 
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
The Company is not presently a party to any litigation.
 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
 
Going Concern Uncertainty
 
There is uncertainty that the Company will continue as a going concern, which presumes the realization of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company has not generated positive cash flow since inception and has incurred operating losses and will need additional working capital for its future planned activities. These conditions raise doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon obtaining sufficient working capital to finance ongoing operations. The Company’s strategy to address this uncertainty, includes additional equity and debt financing; however, there are no assurances that any such financings can be obtained on favorable terms, if at all, or that the Company will generate positive cash flow. These financial statements do not reflect the adjustments or reclassification of assets and liabilities that would be necessary if the Company were unable to continue its operations.
 
Financial Markets Instability and Uncertainty

The 2008-09 worldwide financial and credit crisis reduced the availability of capital and credit to fund the continuation and expansion of industrial business operations worldwide. The shortage of capital and credit combined with substantial losses in worldwide equity markets led to a worldwide economic recession. The slowdown in economic activity caused by this recession reduced worldwide demand for energy and resulted in lower oil and natural gas and other commodity prices. A prolonged reduction in oil and natural gas prices will depress the immediate levels of exploration, development and production activity. Although there are some signs that a slow economic recovery may be underway, the Company’s ability to raise capital to finance ongoing capital projects remains a very difficult challenge. Until the financial market conditions improve significantly, we will face challenges in meeting our ongoing financial obligations. The Company may be required to consider divestiture of some properties or working interests to raise funds. The continuing financial crisis may have impacts on our business and financial condition that we currently cannot predict.

 
57

 

The Oil and Gas Industry Is Highly Competitive
 
The oil & gas industry is highly competitive. We compete with oil and natural gas companies and other individual producers and operators, many of which have longer operating histories and substantially greater financial and other resources than we do. We compete with companies in other industries supplying energy, fuel and other needs to consumers. Many of these companies not only explore for and produce crude oil and natural gas, but also carry on refining operations and market petroleum and other products on a worldwide basis. Our larger competitors, by reason of their size and relative financial strength, can more easily access capital markets than we can and may enjoy a competitive advantage in the recruitment of qualified personnel. They may be able to absorb the burden of any changes in laws and regulation in the jurisdictions in which we do business and handle longer periods of reduced prices of gas and oil more easily than we can. Our competitors may be able to pay more for productive oil and natural gas properties and may be able to define, evaluate, bid for and purchase a greater number of properties and prospects than we can. Our ability to acquire additional properties in the future will depend upon our ability to conduct efficient operations, evaluate and select suitable properties, implement advanced technologies and consummate transactions in a highly competitive environment.
 
Government and Environmental Regulation
 
Our business is governed by numerous laws and regulations at various levels of government. These laws and regulations govern the operation and maintenance of our facilities, the discharge of materials into the environment and other environmental protection issues. The laws and regulations may, among other potential consequences, require that we acquire permits before commencing drilling, restrict the substances that can be released into the environment with drilling and production activities, limit or prohibit drilling activities on protected areas such as wetlands or wilderness areas, require that reclamation measures be taken to prevent pollution from former operations, require remedial measures to mitigate pollution from former operations, such as plugging abandoned wells and remediation of contaminated soil and groundwater, and require remedial measures to be taken with respect to property designated as a contaminated site.
 
Under these laws and regulations, we could be liable for personal injury, clean-up costs and other environmental and property damages, as well as administrative, civil and criminal penalties. We maintain limited insurance coverage for sudden and accidental environmental damages as well as environmental damage that occurs over time. However, we do not believe that insurance coverage for the full potential liability of environmental damages is available at a reasonable cost. Accordingly, we could be liable, or could be required to cease production on properties, if environmental damage occurs.
 
The costs of complying with environmental laws and regulations in the future may harm our business. Furthermore, future changes in environmental laws and regulations could occur that may result in stricter standards and enforcement, larger fines and liability, and increased capital expenditures and operating costs, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

 
58

 
 
The Successful Implementation Of Our Business Plan Is Subject To Risks Inherent In The Oil & Gas Business.
Our oil and gas operations are subject to the economic risks typically associated with exploration, development and production activities, including the necessity of significant expenditures to locate and acquire properties and to drill exploratory wells. In addition, the cost and timing of drilling, completing and operating wells is often uncertain. In conducting exploration and development activities, the presence of unanticipated pressure or irregularities in formations, miscalculations or accidents may cause our exploration, development and production activities to be unsuccessful. This could result in a total loss of our investment in a particular property. If exploration efforts are unsuccessful in establishing proved reserves and exploration activities cease, the amounts accumulated as unproved costs will be charged against earnings as impairments.
 
We Expect Our Operating Expenses To Increase Substantially In The Future And May Need To Raise Additional Funds.
 
We have a history of net losses and expect that our operating expenses will continue to increase over the next 12 months as we continue to implement our business plan. In addition, we may experience a material decrease in liquidity due to unforeseen expenses or other events and uncertainties. As a result, we may need to raise additional funds, and such funds may not be available on favorable terms, if at all. If we cannot raise funds on acceptable terms, we may not be able to execute on our business plan, take advantage of future opportunities or respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated requirements. This may seriously harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We Are An Exploration Stage Company Implementing A New Business Plan.
 
Prior to the fourth quarter of 2009, we have been an exploration stage company with only a limited operating history upon which to base an evaluation of our current business and future prospects, and we have just begun to implement our business plan. Since our inception, we have suffered recurring losses from operations and have been dependent on new investment to sustain our operations. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, 2006 and 2005, we reported losses of $17,543,936, $2,074,649, $2,571,663 (restated), $2,867,374 and $1,133,790 respectively. Commencing in October, 2009 and effective with the acquisition of our first producing properties as described under "Property Acquisition” in Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements, we will become a producing company and will no longer be an exploration stage company. Our consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, 2006 and 2005 contained a going concern qualification and we cannot give any assurances that we can yet achieve profits from operations.

Our Ability To Produce Sufficient Quantities Of Oil & Gas From Our Properties May Be Adversely Affected By A Number Of Factors Outside Of Our Control.
 
The business of exploring for and producing oil and gas involves a substantial risk of investment loss. Drilling oil wells involves the risk that the wells may be unproductive or that, although productive, that the wells may not produce oil or gas in economic quantities. Other hazards, such as unusual or unexpected geological formations, pressures, fires, blowouts, loss of circulation of drilling fluids or other conditions may substantially delay or prevent completion of any well. Adverse weather conditions can also hinder drilling operations. A productive well may become uneconomic due to pressure depletion, water encroachment, mechanical difficulties, etc, which impair or prevent the production of oil and/or gas from the well.
 
There can be no assurance that oil and gas will be produced from the properties in which we have interests. In addition, the marketability of any oil and gas that we acquire or discover may be influenced by numerous factors beyond our control. These factors include the proximity and capacity of oil and gas pipelines and processing equipment, market fluctuations of prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, allowable production and environmental protection. We cannot predict how these factors may affect our business.
  
In addition, the success of our business is dependent upon the efforts of various third parties that we do not control. We rely upon various companies to assist us in identifying desirable oil and gas prospects to acquire and to provide us with technical assistance and services. We also rely upon the services of geologists, geophysicists, chemists, engineers and other scientists to explore and analyze oil prospects to determine a method in which the oil prospects may be developed in a cost-effective manner. In addition, we rely upon the owners and operators of oil drilling equipment to drill and develop our prospects to production. Although we have developed relationships with a number of third-party service providers, we cannot assure that we will be able to continue to rely on such persons. If any of these relationships with third-party service providers are terminated or are unavailable on commercially acceptable terms, we may not be able to execute our business plan.
 
Market Fluctuations In The Prices Of Oil And Gas Could Adversely Affect Our Business.
 
Prices for oil and natural gas tend to fluctuate significantly in response to factors beyond our control. These factors include, but are not limited to actions of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and its maintenance of production constraints, the U.S. economic environment, weather conditions, the availability of alternate fuel sources, transportation interruption, the impact of drilling levels on crude oil and natural gas supply, and the environmental and access issues such as changes in government regulation that could limit or expand future drilling activities for the industry.
 
Changes in commodity prices may significantly affect our capital resources, liquidity and expected operating results. Price changes directly affect revenues and can indirectly impact expected production by changing the amount of funds available to reinvest in exploration and development activities. Reductions in oil and gas prices not only reduce revenues and profits, but could also reduce the quantities of reserves that are commercially recoverable. Significant declines in prices could result in charges to earnings due to impairment.
 
Changes in commodity prices may also significantly affect our ability to estimate the value of producing properties for acquisition and divestiture and often cause disruption in the market for oil producing properties, as buyers and sellers have difficulty agreeing on the value of the properties. Price volatility also makes it difficult to budget for and project the return on acquisitions and development and exploitation of projects. We expect that commodity prices will continue to fluctuate significantly in the future.

Risks Of Penny Stock Investing
 
The Company's common stock is considered to be a "penny stock" because it meets one or more of the definitions in the Exchange Act Rule 3a51-1, a Rule made effective on July 15, 1992. These include but are not limited to the following:(i) the stock trades at a price less than five dollars ($5.00) per share; (ii) it is NOT traded on a "recognized" national exchange; (iii) it is NOT quoted on an automated quotation system sponsored by a national securities association (NASDAQ), or even if so, has a price less than five dollars ($5.00) per share; OR (iv) is issued by a company with net tangible assets less than $2,000,000, if in business more than three years continuously, or $5,000,000, if in business less than a continuous three years, or with average revenues of less than $6,000,000 for the past three years. The principal result or effect of being designated a "penny stock" is that securities broker-dealers cannot recommend the stock but must trade in it on an unsolicited basis.
 
Risks Related To Broker-Dealer Requirements Involving Penny Stocks / Risks Affecting Trading And Liquidity
 
Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 15g-2 promulgated there under by the Commission require broker-dealers dealing in penny stocks to provide potential investors with a document disclosing the risks of penny stocks and to obtain a manually signed and dated written receipt of the document before effecting any transaction in a penny stock for the investor's account. These rules may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market, if and when one develops.
 
Potential investors in the Company's common stock are urged to obtain and read such disclosure carefully before purchasing any shares that are deemed to be "penny stock." Moreover, Commission Rule 15g-9 requires broker-dealers in penny stocks to approve the account of any investor for transactions in such stocks before selling any penny stock to that investor. This procedure requires the broker-dealer to (i) obtain from the investor information concerning his or her financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives; (ii) reasonably determine, based on that information, that transactions in penny stocks are suitable for the investor and that the investor has sufficient knowledge and experience as to be reasonably capable of evaluating the risks of penny stock transactions; (iii) provide the investor with a written statement setting forth the basis on which the broker-dealer made the determination in (ii) above; and (iv) receive a signed and dated copy of such statement from the investor, confirming that it accurately reflects the investor's financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives. Pursuant to the Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990, broker-dealers are further obligated to provide customers with monthly account statements. Compliance with the foregoing requirements may make it more difficult for investors in the Company's stock to resell their shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of them in the market or otherwise.

Voluntary Delisting of Company's Shares From TSX Venture Exchange in Canada

On November 4, 2009, The Company voluntarily requested the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSX-V") in Canada to delist its common shares from trading on the TSX-V. The TSX-V’s policies allow for a period of ten days before delisting to facilitate settlement of trades and to allow shareholders to sell to willing purchasers. The TSX-V will issue an Exchange Bulletin ten days prior to the voluntary delisting. This voluntary delisting is not pursuant to any order or communication from the TSX-V.

Kodiak's common shares are currently quoted for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board (OTCBB) in the United States under the symbol KDKN and it will continue to maintain this quotation status and Canadian shareholders will be able to continue to trade through their brokers on that market.

The Corporation’s board of directors approved the voluntary delisting from the TSX Venture Exchange after weighing the required expenses and multi-jurisdictional filings to maintain a dual listing of the company's securities against the perceived shareholder benefit accrued from trading on different platforms.  The Corporation does not expect the anticipated voluntary delisting from the TSX-V will have any impact on the day-to-day operations of the company.

 
62

 

The primary reasons for the voluntary delisting request are:

 
1.
Since the Corporation’s TSX-V listing effective December 24, 2007 to market close on October 30, 2009, liquidity analysis revealed an average daily trading volume of 270,413 shares on the OTCBB and 14,022 on the TSX-V for the period – a difference in trading volume and liquidity of over 19 times.

 
2.
Following the initial Canadian based financing associated with the TSX-V listing, the Corporation has repeatedly experienced little to no investment interest or support from the Canadian financial community consisting of investment banks, capital markets and retail brokerage firms, and private equity firms.  The primary source of equity financing has been from Europe over the last 18 months, and we do not expect that to change in the foreseeable future. Our European investors have a stated preference for the OTCBB listing versus the TSX-V, of which the latter listing they do not follow.
 
3.
The Corporation’s Board of Directors believes that voluntarily delisting from the TSX-V and focusing on U.S. and European markets is in the best interests of our shareholders.  This will eliminate the substantial cross-border financing and reporting issues.

 
4.
As of October 31, 2009, the Corporation’s transfer agent, Computershare, revealed the shareholder geographic position of all foreign based shareholders at 61.54% and Canadian based shareholders at 38.46%, of which the vast majority of the latter is founder shareholdings and only a nominal amount in the Canadian float.  As a result, the OTCBB quotation system serves shareholders of the majority of Kodiak’s shares, where the Corporation’s stock has been trading since December 27, 2004.

 
5.
The internal and external compliance costs to maintain the listing of the Corporation’s shares on the TSX-V are relatively significant to a company of this size, which has not resulted in an additional benefit for shareholders in view of the low trading volume on the TSX-V.

 
6.
The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) is the largest independent regulator for securities firms in the United States and is responsible for establishing rules governing its broker/dealer members, including OTCBB subscribing members, on conduct, qualification standards, examinations, investigations, violations, and investor and member inquiries – thus there is a previous and demonstrated, current market for Kodiak shareholders.

 
63

 
 
Other factors:

 
7.
To maintain quotation eligibility on the OTCBB, Kodiak Energy, Inc. is required to file periodic financial information with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).  All the Corporation’s filings are located under the “Kodiak Energy, Inc.” profile on the Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval (EDGAR) system through the U.S. SEC website at http://www.sec.gov.

 
8.
Kodiak intends on maintaining its “foreign reporting issuer status” with the Alberta Securities Commission.

 
9.
Kodiak is Sarbanes Oxley (SOX) compliant, is a fully reporting accelerated filer, and adheres to the security laws, rules, regulations and filing requirements of the U.S. SEC.
