GENERAL
In this
Registration Statement, references to “we”, “us”, “our”, the “Company”, and
“Eugenic” mean Eugenic Corp. and its subsidiaries, unless the context requires
otherwise.
We use
the Canadian dollar as our reporting currency and our financial statements are
prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.
Note 10 to our annual consolidated financial statements provide a reconciliation
of our financial statements to United States generally accepted accounting
principles. All monetary references in this document are to Canadian dollars,
unless otherwise indicated. All references in this document to “dollars” or “$”
or “CDN$” mean Canadian dollars, unless otherwise indicated, and references to
“US$” mean United States dollars.
Except as
noted, the information set forth in this Registration Statement is as of April
9, 2009 and all information included in this document should only be considered
accurate as of such date. Our business, financial condition or results of
operations may have changed since that date.
NOTE
REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Much of
the information included in this Registration Statement is based upon estimates,
projections or other “forward-looking statements”. Such forward-looking
statements include any projections or estimates made by us and our management in
connection with our business operations. These statements relate to future
events or our future financial performance. In some cases you can identify
forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may”, “should”, “expects”,
“plans”, “anticipates”, “believes”, “estimates”, “predicts”, “potential” or
“continue” or the negative of those terms or other comparable terminology. While
these forward-looking statements, and any assumptions upon which they are based,
are made in good faith and reflect our current judgment regarding the direction
of our business, actual results will almost always vary, sometimes materially,
from any estimates, predictions, projections, assumptions or other future
performance suggested herein. Such estimates, projections or other
forward-looking statements involve various risks and uncertainties and other
factors, including the risks in the section titled “Risk Factors” below, which
may cause our actual results, levels of activities, performance or achievements
to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity,
performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking
statements. We caution the reader that important factors in some cases have
affected and, in the future, could materially affect actual results and cause
actual results to differ materially from the results expressed in any such
estimates, projections or other forward-looking statements. Although we believe
that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are
reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance
or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities
laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking
statements to conform those statements to actual results.
The
statements contained in Item 4 – “Information on the Company”, Item 5 –
“Operating and Financial Review and Prospects” and Item 11 – “Quantitative and
Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” are inherently subject to a variety
of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results, performance or
achievements to differ significantly.

Differences
between Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) in Canada and the United
States
For the
years ended August 31, 2008 and 2007 and for the three month periods ended
November 30, 2008 and 2007, the preparation of our Audited Consolidated
Financial Statements in accordance with US GAAP would not have resulted in
differences to the Consolidated Balance Sheet or Consolidated Statement of Loss,
Comprehensive Loss and Deficit from our Audited Consolidated Financial
Statements prepared using Canadian GAAP. For the years ended August
31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 the preparation of our Audited Consolidated
Financial Statements in accordance with US GAAP recorded an unrealized (loss)
gain on marketable securities in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income
on the consolidated balance sheet and the consolidated statement of loss,
comprehensive loss and deficit of $(1), $171 and $1,525,
respectively.
Recently
Issued United States Accounting Standards are included in Note 10 to our August
31, 2008 Audited Consolidated Financial Statements.

C. REASONS
FOR THE OFFER AND USE OF PROCEEDS
Not
Applicable. This Form 20-F is being filed as a Registration Statement
under the Exchange Act.
D. RISK
FACTORS
Our
securities are highly speculative and subject to a number of risks. You should
not consider an investment in our securities unless you are capable of
sustaining an economic loss of the entire investment. In addition to the other
information presented in this Registration Statement, the following risk factors
should be given special consideration when evaluating an investment in our
securities.
General
Risk Factors
We require
additional capital which may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at
all.
Both the exploration and development of oil and gas
reserves can be capital-intensive businesses. We intend to satisfy any
additional working capital requirements from cash flow and by raising capital
through public or private sales of debt or equity securities, debt financing or
short-term loans, or a combination of the foregoing. We have no
current arrangements for obtaining additional capital, and no assurance can be
given that we will be able to secure additional capital, or on terms which will
not be objectionable to us or our shareholders. Under such
circumstances, our failure or inability to obtain additional capital on
acceptable terms or at all could have a material adverse effect on
us.
We have a history
of losses and a limited operating history as an oil and gas exploration and
development company which makes it more difficult to evaluate our future
prospects.
To date, we have incurred significant losses. We
have a limited operating history upon which any evaluation of us and our
long-term prospects might be based. We are subject to the risks inherent in the
oil and gas industry, as well as the more general risks inherent to the
operation of an established business. We and our prospects must be
considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties encountered by all
companies engaged in the extremely volatile and competitive oil and gas markets.
Any future success we might achieve will depend upon many factors, including
factors, which may be beyond our control. These factors may include
changes in technologies, price and product competition, developments and changes
in the international oil and gas market, changes in our strategy, changes in
expenses, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, general economic
conditions, and economic and regulatory conditions specific to the areas in
which we compete. To address these risks, we must, among other
things, comply with environmental regulations; expand our portfolio of proven
oil and gas properties and negotiate additional working interests and prospect
participations; and expand and replace depleting oil and gas reserves. There can
be no assurance that we will be successful in addressing these
risks.
We have
significant debt which may make it more difficult for us to obtain future
financing or engage in business combination transactions.
We
have significant debt obligations. The degree to which this
indebtedness could have consequences on our future prospects includes the effect
of such debts on our ability to obtain financing for working capital, capital
expenditures or acquisitions. The portion of available cash flow that will need
to be dedicated to repayment of indebtedness will reduce funds available for
expansion. If we are unable to meet our debt obligations
through cash flow from operations, we may be required to refinance or adopt
alternative strategies to reduce or delay capital expenditures, or seek
additional equity capital.
Our future
operating results are subject to fluctuation based upon factors outside of our
control.
Our operating results may in the future fluctuate
significantly depending upon a number of factors including industry conditions,
oil and gas prices, rate of drilling success, rates of production from completed
wells and the timing of capital expenditures. Such variability could
have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results
of operations. In addition, any failure or delay in the realization
of expected cash flows from operating activities could limit our future ability
to participate in exploration or to participate in economically attractive oil
and gas projects.
Our operating
results will be affected by foreign exchange rates.
Since
energy commodity prices are primarily priced in US dollars, a portion of our
revenue stream is affected by U.S./Canadian dollar exchange rates. We
do not hedge this exposure. While to date this exposure has not been
material, it may become so in the future.
Our inability to
manage our expected growth could have a material adverse effect on our business
operations and prospects.
We may be subject to growth-related
risks including capacity constraints and pressure on our internal systems and
controls. The ability to manage growth effectively will require us to continue
to implement and improve our operational and financial systems and to expend,
train and manage our employee base. The inability to deal with this growth could
have a material adverse impact on our business, operations and
prospects.
To compete in our
industry, we must attract and retain qualified personnel.
Our
ability to continue our business and to develop a competitive edge in the
marketplace depends, in large part, on our ability to attract and retain
qualified management and personnel. Competition for such personnel is
intense, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to attract and
retain such personnel which may negatively impact our share price. We do not
have key-man insurance on any of our employees, directors or senior officers and
we do not have written employment agreements with any of our employees,
directors or senior officers.
We must continue
to institute procedures designed to avoid potential conflicts involving our
officers and directors.
Some of our directors and officers are or may
serve on the board of directors of other companies from time to time. Pursuant
to the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (
Ontario
), our directors and
senior officers must disclose material interests in any contract or transaction
(or proposed contract or transaction) material to us. To avoid the
possibility of conflicts of interest which may arise out of their fiduciary
responsibilities to each of the boards, all such directors have agreed to
abstain from voting with respect to a conflict of interest between the
applicable companies. In appropriate cases, we will establish a
special committee of independent directors to review a matter in which several
directors, or members of management, may have a conflict.
We rely on the
expertise of certain persons and must insure that these relationships are
developed and maintained.
We are dependent on the advice and
project management skills of various consultants and joint venture partners
contracted by us from time to time. Our failure to develop and
maintain relationships with qualified consultants and joint venture partners
will have a material adverse effect on our business and operating
results.
We must indemnify
our officers and directors against certain actions.
Our
articles contain provisions that state, subject to applicable law, we must
indemnify every director or officer, subject to the limitations of the Business
Corporations Act (
Ontario
), against all losses
or liabilities that our directors or officers may sustain or incur in the
execution of their duties. Our articles further state that no
director or officer will be liable for any loss, damage or misfortune that may
happen to, or be incurred by us in the execution of his duties if he acted
honestly and in good faith with a view to our best interests. Such limitations
on liability may reduce the likelihood of litigation against our officers and
directors and may discourage or deter our shareholders from suing our officers
and directors based upon breaches of their duties to us, though such an action,
if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our shareholders.
We do not
currently maintain a permanent place of business within the United States. A
majority of our directors and officers are nationals or residents of countries
other than the United States, and all or a substantial portion of such persons'
assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult
for investors to enforce within the United States any judgments obtained against
our company or our officers or directors, including judgments predicated upon
the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or
any state thereof.
Risks
Factors Relating to Our Common Stock
Our stockholders
may have difficulty selling shares of our common stock as there is presently no
public trading market for such stock.
Presently, there is no
public market for our common stock, and no assurance can be given that a broad
and active public trading market for our common stock will develop or be
sustained. In addition, our common stock has not been qualified under any
applicable state blue-sky laws, and we are under no obligation to so qualify or
register our common stock, or otherwise take action to improve the public market
for such securities. Our common stock could have limited marketability due to
the following factors, each of which could impair the timing, value and market
for such securities: (i) lack of profits, (ii) need for additional
capital, (ii) no public market for such securities; (iii) the applicability of
certain resale requirements under the applicable Securities Act; and (iv)
applicable blue sky laws and the other factors discussed in this Risk Factors
section.
We do not
anticipate paying dividends on our common stock.
We presently
plan to retain all available funds for use in our business, and therefore do not
plan to pay any cash dividends with respect to our securities in the foreseeable
future. Hence, investors in our common stock should not expect to
receive any distribution of cash dividends with respect to such securities for
the foreseeable future.
Our shareholders
may experience dilution of their ownership interests because of our future
issuance of additional shares of common stock.
Our constating
documents authorize the issuance of an unlimited number of shares of common
stock, without par value. In the event that we are required to issue additional
shares of common stock or securities exercisable for or convertible into
additional shares of common stock, enter into private placements to raise
financing through the sale of equity securities or acquire additional oil and
gas property interests in the future from the issuance of shares of our common
stock to acquire such interests, the interests of our existing shareholders will
be diluted and existing shareholders may suffer dilution in their net book value
per share depending on the price at which such securities are sold. If we do
issue additional shares, it will cause a reduction in the proportionate
ownership and voting power of all existing shareholders.
Prospective
investors in our Company should seek independent investment
advice.
Independent legal, accounting or business advisors (i)
have not been appointed by, and have not represented or held themselves out as
representing the interests of prospective investors in connection with this
Registration Statement, and (ii) have not “expertized” or held themselves out as
“expertizing” any portion of this Registration Statement, nor is our legal
counsel providing any opinion in connection with us, our business or the
completeness or accuracy of this Registration Statement. Neither we
nor any of our respective officers, directors, employees or agents, including
legal counsel, make any representation or expresses any opinion (i) with respect
to the merits of an investment in our common stock, including without limitation
the proposed value of our common stock; or (ii) that this Registration Statement
provides a complete or exhaustive description of us, our business or relevant
risk factors which an investor may now or in the future deem pertinent in making
his, her or its investment decision. Any prospective investor in our
common stock is therefore urged to engage independent accountants, appraisers,
attorneys and other advisors to (a) conduct such due diligence review as such
investor may deem necessary and advisable, and (b) to provide such opinions with
respect to the merits of an investment in our Company and applicable risk
factors upon which such investor may deem necessary and advisable to
rely. We will fully cooperate with any investor who desires to
conduct such an independent analysis so long as we determine, in our sole
discretion, that such cooperation is not unduly burdensome.
We will incur
significant costs as a result of being a public company.
As a
public company, we will incur significant accounting, legal, governance,
compliance and other expenses that private companies do not incur. In addition,
the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules subsequently implemented by the
Securities and Exchange Commission have required changes in corporate governance
practices of public companies. These rules and regulations increase public
company’s legal, audit and financial compliance costs and make some activities
more time-consuming and costly. For example, as a public company, we are
required to adopt policies regarding internal controls and disclosure controls
and procedures. In addition, we will incur additional costs associated with our
public company reporting requirements. These rules and regulations will also
make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer
liability insurance and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and
coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar
coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain
qualified persons to serve on our board of directors or as executive
officers.
Applicable SEC
rules governing the trading of “penny stocks” will limit the trading and
liquidity of our common stock and may affect the trade price for our common
stock.
The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) has
adopted rules which generally define "penny stock" to be any equity security
that has a market price (as defined) of less than US$5.00 per share or an
exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our
securities will be covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional
sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than
established customers and "accredited investors". The term "accredited investor"
refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of US$5,000,000 or
individuals with a net worth in excess of US$1,000,000 or annual income
exceeding US$200,000 or US$300,000 jointly with their spouse.
The penny
stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not
otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure
document in a form prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny
stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The
broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer
quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its
salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market
value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. The bid and offer
quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must
be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction
and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer's
confirmation.
In
addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny
stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a
special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for
the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction.
These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of
trading activity in the secondary market for the shares that are subject to
these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the
ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We expect that the penny
stock rules will discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of
our common shares.
In
addition to the "penny stock" rules described above, the National Association of
Securities Dealer (“NASD”) has adopted rules that require that in recommending
an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for
believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to
recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional
customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information
about the customer's financial status, tax status, investment objectives and
other information. Under interpretations of these rules, the NASD believes that
there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be
suitable for at least some customers. The NASD requirements will make it more
difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common
shares, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our shares and have an
adverse effect on the market for our shares.
If we fail to
comply in a timely manner with the requirements of Section 404 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 or to remedy any material weaknesses in our internal
controls that we may identify, such failure could result in material
misstatements in our financial statements, cause investors to lose confidence in
our reported financial information and have a negative effect on the trading
price of our common stock.
We are in the process of assessing
the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting in connection
with the rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission under Section
404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. While management anticipates expending
significant resources in an effort to complete this important project, there can
be no assurance that we will be able to achieve its objective on a timely basis.
There also can be no assurance that our auditors will be able to issue an
unqualified opinion on management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our
internal control over financial reporting.
In
addition, in connection with our on-going assessment of the effectiveness of our
internal control over financial reporting, we may discover “material weaknesses”
in our internal controls as defined in standards established by the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”). A material weakness is a
significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that results
in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or
interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. The PCAOB
defines “significant deficiency” as a deficiency that results in more than a
remote likelihood that a misstatement of the financial statements that is more
than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected.
In the
event that a material weakness is identified, we will employ qualified personnel
and adopt and implement policies and procedures to address any material
weaknesses that are identified. However, the process of designing and
implementing effective internal controls is a continuous effort that requires us
to anticipate and react to changes in our business and the economic and
regulatory environments and to expend significant resources to maintain a system
of internal controls that is adequate to satisfy our reporting obligations as a
public company. We cannot assure you that the measures we will take will
remediate any material weaknesses that we may identify or that we will implement
and maintain adequate controls over our financial process and reporting in the
future.
Any
failure to complete an assessment of our internal control over financial
reporting, to remediate any material weaknesses that we may identify or to
implement new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in our
implementation, could harm our operating results, cause us to fail to meet our
reporting obligations or result in material misstatements in our financial
statements. Any such failure also could adversely affect the results of the
periodic management evaluations of our internal controls and, in the case of a
failure to remediate any material weaknesses that we may identify, would
adversely affect the annual auditor attestation reports regarding the
effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting that are required
under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Inadequate internal
controls could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial
information, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of our
common stock.
Risks
Factors Relating to Our Business
Our future
success is dependent upon our ability to locate, obtain and develop commercially
viable oil and gas deposits.
Our future success is dependent
upon our ability to economically locate commercially viable oil and gas
deposits. We can make no representations, warranties or guaranties that we will
be able to consistently identify viable prospects, or that such prospects will
be commercially exploitable. Our inability to consistently identify
and exploit commercially viable hydrocarbon deposits would have a material and
adverse effect on our business and financial position.
Exploratory
drilling activities are subject to substantial risks.
Our
expected revenues and cash flows will be principally dependent upon the success
of any drilling and production from prospects in which we
participate. The success of such prospects will be determined by the
economical location, development and production of commercial quantities of
hydrocarbons. Exploratory drilling is subject to numerous risks,
including the risk that no commercially productive oil and gas reservoirs will
be encountered. The cost of drilling, completing and operating wells is often
uncertain, and drilling operations may be curtailed, delayed or canceled as a
result of a variety of factors, including unexpected formation and drilling
conditions, pressure or other irregularities in formations, blowouts, equipment
failures or accidents, as well as weather conditions, compliance with
governmental requirements or shortages or delays in the delivery of
equipment. Our inability to successfully locate and drill wells that
will economically produce commercial quantities of oil and gas could have a
material adverse effect on our business and, financial position.
Our drilling and
exploration plans will be subject to factors beyond our
control.
A prospect is a property that has been identified
based on available geological and geophysical information that indicates the
potential for hydrocarbons. Whether we ultimately drill a property may depend on
a number of factors including funding; the receipt of additional seismic data or
reprocessing of existing data; material changes in oil or gas prices; the costs
and availability of drilling equipment; the success or failure of wells drilled
in similar formations or which would use the same production facilities; changes
in estimates of costs to drill or complete wells; our ability to attract
industry partners to acquire a portion of our working interest to reduce
exposure to drilling and completion costs; decisions of our joint working
interest owners; and restrictions under provincial regulators.
Our operating
results are subject to oil and natural gas price
volatility.
Our profitability, cash flow and future growth
will be affected by changes in prevailing oil and gas prices. Oil and
gas prices have been subject to wide fluctuations in recent years in response to
changes in the supply and demand for oil and natural gas, market uncertainty,
competition, regulatory developments and other factors which are beyond our
control. It is impossible to predict future oil and natural gas price
movements with any certainty. We do not engage in hedging
activities. As a result, we may be more adversely affected by
fluctuations in oil and gas prices than other industry participants that do
engage in such activities. An extended or substantial decline
in oil and gas prices would have a material adverse effect on our access to
capital, and our financial position and results of operations.
Unforeseen title
defects may result in a loss of entitlement to production and
reserves.
Although we conduct title reviews in accordance with
industry practice prior to any purchase of resource assets, such reviews do not
guarantee that an unforeseen defect in the chain on title will not arise and
defeat our title to the purchased assets. If such a defect were to
occur, our entitlement to the production from such purchased assets could be
jeopardized.
Estimates of
reserves and predictions of future events are subject to
uncertainties.
Certain statements included in this
Registration Statement contain estimates of our oil and gas reserves and the
discounted future net revenues from those reserves, as prepared by independent
petroleum engineers or us. There are numerous uncertainties inherent
in such estimates including many factors beyond our control. The estimates are
based on a number of assumptions including constant oil and gas prices, and
assumptions regarding future production, revenues, taxes, operating expenses,
development expenditures and quantities of recoverable oil and gas
reserves. Such estimates are inherently imprecise indications of
future net revenues, and actual results might vary substantially from the
estimates based on these assumptions. Any significant variance in
these assumptions could materially affect the estimated quantity and value of
reserves. In addition, our reserves might be subject to revisions
based upon future production, results of future exploration and development,
prevailing oil and gas prices and other factors. Moreover, estimates of the
economically recoverable oil and gas reserves, classifications of such reserves
and estimates of future net cash flows prepared by independent engineers at
different times may vary substantially. Information about reserves
constitutes forward-looking statements.
The success of
our business is dependent upon our ability to replace
reserves.
Our future success depends upon our ability to find,
develop and acquire oil and gas reserves that are economically
recoverable. As a result we must locate, acquire and develop new oil
and gas reserves to replace those being depleted by
production. Without successful funding for acquisitions and
exploration and development activities, our reserves will decline. No
assurances can be made that we will be able to find and develop or acquire
additional reserves at an acceptable cost.
Most of our
competitors have substantially greater financial, technical, sales, marketing
and other resources than we do.
We engage in the exploration
for and production of oil and gas, industries which are highly competitive. We
compete directly and indirectly with oil and gas companies in our exploration
for and development of desirable oil and gas properties. Many companies and
individuals are engaged in the business of acquiring interests in and developing
oil and gas properties in the United States and Canada, and the industry is not
dominated by any single competitor or a small number of competitors. Many of
such competitors have substantially greater financial, technical, sales,
marketing and other resources, as well as greater historical market acceptance
than we do. We will compete with numerous industry participants for the
acquisition of land and rights to prospects, and for the equipment and labor
required to operate and develop such prospects. Competition could materially and
adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition. Such
competitive disadvantages could adversely affect our ability to participate in
projects with favorable rates of return.
Shortages of
supplies and equipment could delay our operations and result in higher operating
and capital costs.
Our ability to conduct operations in a
timely and cost effective manner is subject to the availability of natural gas
and crude oil field supplies, rigs, equipment and service crews. Although none
are expected currently, any shortage of certain types of supplies and equipment
could result in delays in our operations as well as in higher operating and
capital costs.
Our business is
subject to interruption from severe weather.
Presently, our operations
are conducted principally in the central region of Alberta. The weather in this
area and other areas in which we may operate in the future can be extreme and
can cause interruption or delays in our drilling and construction
operations.
We are dependent
on third-party pipelines and would experience a material adverse effect on our
operations were our access to such pipelines be curtailed or the rates charged
for use thereof materially increased.
Substantially all our
sales of natural gas production are effected through deliveries to local
third-party gathering systems to processing plants. In addition, we
rely on access to inter-provincial pipelines for the sale and distribution of
substantially all of our gas. As a result, a curtailment of our sale of natural
gas by pipelines or by third-party gathering systems, an impairment of our
ability to transport natural gas on inter-provincial pipelines or a material
increase in the rates charged to us for the transportation of natural gas by
reason of a change in federal or provincial regulations or for any other reason,
could have a material adverse effect upon us. In such event, we would have to
obtain other transportation arrangements. There can be no assurance that we
would have economical transportation alternatives or that it would be feasible
for us to construct pipelines. In the event such circumstances were to occur,
our operating netbacks from the affected wells would be suspended until, and if,
such circumstances could be resolved.
Our business is
subject to operating hazards and uninsured risks.
The oil and
gas business involves a variety of operating risks, including fire, explosion,
pipe failure, casing collapse, abnormally pressured formations, adverse weather
conditions, governmental and political actions, premature reservoir declines,
and environmental hazards such as oil spills, gas leaks and discharges of toxic
gases. The occurrence of any of these events with respect to any property
operated or owned (in whole or in part) by us could have a material adverse
impact on us. Insurance coverage is not always economically feasible and is not
obtained to cover all types of operational risks. The occurrence of a
significant event that is not insured or insured fully could have a material
adverse effect on our financial condition.
Our business is
subject to restoration, safety and environmental risk.
Our
present operations are primarily in western Canada and certain laws and
regulations exist that require companies engaged in petroleum activities to
obtain necessary safety and environmental permits to operate. Such legislation
may restrict or delay us from conducting operations in certain geographical
areas. Further, such laws and regulations may impose liabilities on us for
remedial and clean-up costs, or for personal injuries related to safety and
environmental damages, such liabilities collectively referred to as “asset
retirement obligations”. While our safety and environmental activities have been
prudent in managing such risks, there can be no assurance that we will always be
successful in protecting us from the impact of all such risks.
The termination
or expiration of any of our licenses and leases may have a material adverse
effect on our results of operations.
Our properties are held
in the form of licenses and leases and working interests in licenses and leases.
If we, or the holder of the license or lease, fail to meet the specific
requirement of a license or lease, the license or lease may terminate or expire.
There can be no assurance that any of the obligations required to maintain each
license or lease will be met. The termination or expiration of our licenses or
leases or the working interests relating to a license or lease may have a
material adverse effect on our results of operations and business.
Compliance with
the Kyoto Protocol may subject us to increased operating
costs.
The Kyoto Protocol, ratified by the Canadian federal
government in December 2002, came into force on February 16, 2005. The protocol
commits Canada to reducing greenhouse gas emissions to six percent below 1990
levels over the period 2008-2012. The Canadian government released a framework
outlining its Climate Change action plan on April 13, 2005. The plan contains
few technical details regarding the implementation of the government’s
greenhouse gas reduction strategy. The Climate Change Working Group of the
Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers continues to work with the Canadian
and Alberta governments to develop an approach for implementing targets and
enabling greenhouse gas control legislation, which protects the industry’s
competitiveness, limits the cost and administrative burden of compliance and
supports continued investment in the sector. As the Canadian government has yet
to release a detailed Kyoto compliance plan, we are unable to predict the impact
of potential regulations upon our business; however, it is possible that we
would face increases in operating costs in order to comply with the greenhouse
gas emissions legislation.
Compliance with
new or modified environmental laws or regulations could have a materially
adverse impact on us.
We are subject to various Canadian
federal and provincial laws and regulations relating to the
environment. We believe that we are currently in compliance with such
laws and regulations. However, such laws and regulations may change
in the future in a manner which will increase the burden and cost of compliance.
In addition, we could incur significant liability under such laws for damages,
clean-up costs and penalties in the event of certain discharges into the
environment. In addition, environmental laws and regulations may impose
liability on us for personal injuries, clean-up costs, environmental damage and
property damage as well as administrative, civil and criminal penalties. We
maintain limited insurance coverage for accidental environmental damages, but do
not maintain insurance for the full potential liability that could be caused by
such environmental damage. Accordingly, we may be subject to significant
liability, or may be required to cease production in the event of the noted
liabilities.

A. HISTORY
AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE COMPANY
We were
incorporated on September 22, 1978, under the Business Corporations Act (
Ontario
), under the name
Bonanza Red Lake Explorations Inc. (“Bonanza Red Lake”). By
prospectus dated November 20, 1978 and a further amendment to the Prospectus
dated January 10, 1979 we became a reporting issuer in the Province of Ontario
and raised $250,000 to acquire interests in and to explore and develop certain
mineral lands located near the Town of Red Lake, Ontario, Canada. In 1987, we
optioned our mineral lands in Red Lake, Ontario to Pure Gold Resources Inc., who
expended sufficient funds during 1988 and 1989 to earn an 85% interest in our
eight patented mineral claims, and then discontinued its exploration program on
the property. Bonanza Red Lake had subsequently written the carrying amount of
these mineral claims down to $1.
On March
29, 2000, Bonanza Red Lake entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with 1406768
Ontario Inc. (“1406768 Ontario”). 1406768 Ontario is a company
incorporated under the laws of the Province of Ontario by articles of
incorporation dated effective March 13, 2000. The purpose of the transaction was
to allow Bonanza Red Lake to acquire a company, 1406768 Ontario, which resulted
in our owning part of an operating business. At an Annual and Special
Meeting of shareholders held on May 10, 2000 we received shareholder approval
for: the acquisition of 1406768 Ontario; the consolidation of Bonanza Red Lake’s
issued and outstanding common shares on a one new common share for every three
old common shares basis; a name change from Bonanza Red Lake to
Eugenic Corp; a new stock option plan (the “Plan”) authorizing 1,275,000 common
shares to be set aside for issuance under the Plan; and authorizing the
directors to determine or vary the number of directors of the Company from time
to time which pursuant to our Articles provide for a minimum of three and a
maximum of ten.
By
Articles of Amendment dated August 15, 2000, Bonanza Red Lake consolidated its
issued and outstanding common shares on a one new common share for every three
old common shares basis and changed the name of the company to Eugenic
Corp.
We
completed the acquisition of 1406768 Ontario on October 12, 2000 and acquired
all of the issued and outstanding shares of 1406768 Ontario for $290,000. The
purchase price was satisfied by our issuance of 5,800,000 company units at $0.05
per unit. Each unit consisted of one common share and one common
share purchase warrant entitling the holder to purchase one common share of ours
at an exercise price of $0.25 per common share until October 12, 2003. As a
result of this transaction, the original shareholders of 1406768 Ontario owned
90.7% of our issued shares. The acquisition resulted in a change in business and
an introduction of new management for us. The acquisition was accounted for as a
reverse take-over of us by 1406768 Ontario. Our net assets acquired at fair
value as at October 12, 2000 resulted in a deficiency of assets over liabilities
in the amount of $123,170 which was charged to share capital. All of the
5,800,000 outstanding warrants expired on October 12, 2003.
On
November 2, 2001, we were extra-provincially registered in the Province of
Alberta, Canada.
As part
of an initiative to create cash flow, we commenced oil and gas operations
effective August 31, 2001 and acquired a 25% working interest in one section of
land (640 gross acres) in the Windfall Area of Alberta, Canada for a purchase
price of $75,000. On June 25, 2003 we disposed of this property for
net proceeds of $85,000.
On
September 10, 2001, we entered into a Participation Agreement to acquire a 30%
interest in one section of land (640 gross acres) in the St Anne area of
Alberta, Canada by paying 40% of the costs to acquire approximately 7.1
kilometers of proprietary 2D seismic data. After review of the seismic data, it
was determined that the joint partners would not undertake to drill a test well.
Accordingly, the costs associated with acquiring this prospect were written off
during fiscal 2003 - $4,806 and in fiscal 2002 - $22,781.
We
entered into an Agreement dated February 28, 2002 to participate in drilling two
test wells by paying 10% of the costs to drill to earn a 6% working interest
before payout and a 3.6% working interest after payout. The first test well in
the Haynes area of Alberta, Canada was drilled and proved to contain uneconomic
hydrocarbons and was subsequently abandoned and costs of $38,855 were written
off in 2002. On August 28, 2003 the joint partners farmed out their interest in
the Haynes prospect for a 10% non-convertible overriding royalty (“NCOR”). The
farmee drilled a test well and placed the well on production commencing December
2003. Our share of this NCOR is 0.5%. The second test well in the
Mikwan area of Alberta, Canada was drilled and initially placed on production
from the Glauconite formation and later shut in during 2003. The
Glauconite formation was subsequently abandoned and the Belly River formation
was completed and placed on production in January 2004.
Effective
August 9, 2002, we entered into an agreement with Wolfden Resources Inc.
(“Wolfden”) and sold our 15% interest in 8 patented mining claims located in
Dome Township, Red Lake, Ontario (the “Mining Claims”) for consideration of
$5,000 plus we retained a 0.3% net smelter return royalty of the net proceeds
realized from the sale of recovered minerals. Wolfden also holds a right of
first refusal to purchase our 0.3% net smelter return royalty. Pursuant to an
arrangement dated effective August 18, 2006, Wolfden transferred certain assets
including its interests in and to the Mining Claims to Premier Gold Mines
Limited (“Premier”).
Effective
October 28, 2005, we surrendered our 6% working interest in a gas well slated
for abandonment and related expiring leases in the Mikwan area of
Alberta. In exchange for the surrender of interests, we were released
of our abandonment and site reclamation obligations.
The
following table sets forth our capital expenditures for the fiscal years
indicated.

We intend
to apply additional capital to further enhance our property interests. As part
of our oil and gas development program, management of the Company anticipates
further expenditures to expand its existing portfolio of proved reserves.
Amounts expended on future exploration and development are dependent on the
nature of future opportunities evaluated by us. These expenditures could be
funded through cash held by the Company or through cash flow from operations.
Any expenditure which exceeds available cash will be required to be funded by
additional share capital or debt issued by us, or by other means. Our long-term
profitability will depend upon our ability to successfully implement our
business plan.
On April
14, 2008, we completed a non-brokered private placement of a total of 2,575,000
units (each a "Unit") at a purchase price of $0.10 per Unit for gross proceeds
of $257,500 (the "Offering"). Each Unit was comprised of one common
share and one purchase warrant (each a "Warrant"). Each Warrant is
exercisable until April 14, 2011 to purchase one additional share of our common
stock at a purchase price of $0.20 per share.
On April
14, 2008, we also entered into an agreement (the "Debt Settlement Agreement")
with our President, Secretary and Director, Sandra J. Hall, to convert debt in
the amount of $50,000 through the issuance of a total of 500,000 shares at an
attributed value of $0.10 per Share. In connection with the
conversion, Ms. Hall has also agreed to forgive $38,000 of the debt owing to her
by us.
In
addition, on April 14, 2008, we also completed similar debt settlement
arrangements with two other arm's length parties, in an effort to reduce the
debt that we have reflected on our financial statements. In the
aggregate, we entered into agreements to convert $100,000 of debt, through the
issuance of a total of 1,000,000 shares at an attributed value of $0.10 per
share.
On
February 5, 2009, we completed a non-brokered private placement of 2,600,000
units (each a “Unit”) at a purchase price of $0.05 per Unit for gross proceeds
of $130,000. Each Unit was comprised of one common share (each a “Unit Share”)
and one purchase warrant (each a “Warrant”). Each Warrant is
exercisable until February 5, 2014 to purchase one additional share of our
common stock (each a “Warrant Share”) at a purchase price of $0.07 per
share. The Unit Shares and the Warrant Shares are subject to
statutory lock-ups which expire on June 6, 2009. 1407271 Ontario Inc. purchased
1,600,000 units. 1407271 Ontario Inc. is owned 100% by Ms. Sandra
Hall. Ms. Hall is also the sole director and officer of
1407271.
On
February 25, 2009, we completed a non-brokered private placement of 1,000,256
units (each a “Unit”) at a purchase price of $0.05 per Unit for gross proceeds
of approximately $50,013. Each Unit was comprised of one common share (each a
“Unit Share”) and one purchase warrant (each a “Warrant”). Each
Warrant is exercisable until February 25, 2014 to purchase one additional share
of our common stock (each a “Warrant Share”) at a purchase price of $0.07 per
share. The Unit Shares and the Warrant Shares are subject to
statutory lock-ups which expire on June 26, 2009. Sandra Hall, our
president and a director, and Milton Klyman, a director, purchased 600,000 Units
and 50,000 Units, respectively.
On
February 27, 2009, we purchased all of the issued and outstanding shares issued
in the capital stock of 1354166 Alberta Ltd., a company incorporated
on October 3, 2007 in the Province of Alberta Canada (the
"Transaction"). In connection therewith, we issued to the
shareholders of 1354166 an aggregate of 8,910,564 units (each a "Unit") at $0.05
per unit or an aggregate of $445,528 and following the closing repaid $118,000
of shareholder loans in 1354166 by cash payment. . Each unit is comprised of one
share of our common stock (each a "Share") and one purchase warrant (each a
"Warrant"). Each Warrant is exercisable until February 27, 2014 to
purchase one additional share of our common stock at a purchase price of $0.07
per share. The Unit Shares and Warrant Shares are subject to
statutory lock-ups which expire on June 28, 2009. The shareholders of 1354166
and 1354166 itself are arm's-length parties to us. 1354166 is a private company
that has a 5.1975% working interest held in trust through a joint venture
partner in a natural gas unit located in the Botha area of Alberta,
Canada.
On
February 27, 2009, we entered into an agreement with a non-related party, to
convert debt in the amount of $62,500 through the issuance of a total of
1,250,000 units at an attributed value of $0.05 per unit (the "Debt
Settlement"). Each Unit was comprised of one common share (each a
“Unit Share”) and one purchase warrant (each a “Warrant”). Each
Warrant is exercisable until February 27, 2014 to purchase one additional share
of our common stock (each a “Warrant Share”) at a purchase price of $0.07 per
share. The Unit Shares and Warrant Shares are subject to statutory lock-ups
which expire on June 28, 2009.
Our past
primary source of liquidity and capital resources has been advances, cash flow
from oil and gas operations and proceeds from the sale of marketable securities
and from the issuance of common shares.
B. BUSINESS
OVERVIEW
Through
our wholly owned subsidiaries 1406768 Ontario and 1354166 Alberta we are
primarily engaged in the development, acquisition and production of oil and gas
interests located in Alberta, Canada. Our operations currently consist of a 0.5%
NCOR in a natural gas well located in Haynes, Alberta, Canada and a 5.1975%
working interest in a natural gas unit located in Alberta, Canada.
We have a
0.3% Net Smelter Return Royalty on 8 patented mining claims located in Red Lake,
Ontario, Canada.
For the
last three fiscal years ending August 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 the total gross
revenue derived from the sale of natural gas from our interests located in the
Haynes area of Alberta, Canada was as follows:

We sell
our natural gas production to integrated oil and gas companies and marketing
agencies. Sales prices are generally set at market prices available in Canada or
the United States.
The level
of activity in the Canadian oil and gas industry is influenced by seasonal
weather patterns. Wet weather and spring thaw make the ground
unstable and municipalities and provincial transportation departments enforce
road bans that may restrict the level of activity. Seasonal factors
and unexpected weather patterns may lead to declines in production activity and
increased consumer demand or changes in supply during certain months of the year
may influence the commodity prices.
There is
an existing and available market for the oil and gas produced from the
properties. However, the prices obtained for production are subject to market
fluctuations, which are affected by many factors, including supply and demand.
Numerous factors beyond our control, which could affect pricing
include:
|
•
|
the
level of consumer product demand;
|
|
•
|
the
foreign supply of oil and gas;
|
|
•
|
the
price of foreign imports; and
|
|
•
|
volatility
in market prices for oil and natural
gas;
|
|
•
|
ability
to raise financing;
|
|
•
|
reliance
on third party operators;
|
|
•
|
ability
to find or produce commercial quantities of oil and natural
gas;
|
|
•
|
liabilities
inherent in oil and natural gas
operations;
|
|
•
|
dilution
of interests in oil and natural gas
properties;
|
|
•
|
general
business and economic conditions;
|
|
•
|
the
ability to attract and retain skilled
staff;
|
|
•
|
uncertainties
associated with estimating oil and natural gas
reserves;
|
|
•
|
competition
for, among other things, financings, acquisitions of reserves, undeveloped
lands and skilled personnel; and
|
|
•
|
governmental
regulation and environmental
legislation.
|
We
caution that the foregoing list of important factors is not exhaustive.
Investors and others who base themselves on our forward-looking statements
should carefully consider the above factors as well as the uncertainties they
represent and the risk they entail. We also caution readers not to place undue
reliance on these forward-looking statements. Moreover, the forward-looking
statements may not be suitable for establishing strategic priorities and
objectives, future strategies or actions, financial objectives and projections
other than those mentioned above.
We do not
have a reliance on raw materials, as we operate in an extractive
industry.
We do not
have a reliance on any significant patents or licenses.
The oil
and gas business is highly competitive in every phase. Many of our
competitors have greater financial and technical resources, and have established
multi-national operations, secured land rights and licenses, which we may not
have. As a result, we may be prevented from participating in drilling
and acquisition programs (See, Item 3.D Key Information - Risk
Factors).
Governmental
Regulation/Environmental Issues
The
Company’s oil and gas operations are subject to various Canadian governmental
regulations including those imposed by Alberta Energy Resources Conversation
Board and Alberta Utilities Commission. Matters subject to regulation include
discharge permits for drilling operations, drilling and abandonment bonds,
reports concerning operations, the spacing of wells, and pooling of properties
and taxation. From time to time, regulatory agencies have imposed price controls
and limitations on production by restricting the rate of flow of oil and gas
wells below actual production capacity in order to conserve supplies of oil and
gas. The production, handling, storage, transportation and disposal of oil and
gas, by-products thereof, and other substances and materials produced or used in
connection with oil and gas operations are also subject to regulation under
federal, state, provincial and local laws and regulations relating primarily to
the protection of human health and the environment. To date, expenditures
related to complying with these laws, and for remediation of existing
environmental contamination, have not been significant in relation to the
results of operations of our company. The requirements imposed by such laws and
regulations are frequently changed and subject to interpretation, and we are
unable to predict the ultimate cost of compliance with these requirements or
their effect on our operations. These regulations may adversely affect our
operations and cost of doing business. It is likely that these laws and
regulations will become more stringent in the future (See, Item 3.D Key
Information - Risk Factors).

The
process of evaluating reserves is inherently complex. It requires
significant judgments and decisions based on available geological, geophysical,
engineering and economics data. These estimates may change
substantially as additional data from ongoing development activities and
production performance becomes available and as economic conditions impacting
oil and gas prices and costs changes. The reserve estimates contained
herein are based on current production forecasts, prices and economic
conditions. These factors and assumptions include among others (i)
historical production in the area compared with production rates from analogous
producing areas; (ii) initial production rates, (iii) production decline rates,
(iv) ultimate recovery of reserves; (v) success of future development
activities; (vi) marketability of production, (vii) effects of government
regulation; and (viii) other government levies imposed over the life of the
reserves.
As
circumstances change and additional data becomes available, reserves estimates
also change. Estimates are reviewed and revised, either upward or
downward, as warranted by the new information. Revisions are often
required for changes in well performance, prices, economic conditions and
governmental restrictions. Revisions to reserve estimates can arise
from changes in year–end prices, reservoir performance and geological conditions
or production. These revisions can be either positive or negative
(See Item 3.D. Key Information – Risk Factors).
As a
Canadian issuer, we are required under Canadian law to comply with National
Instrument 51-101 “Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities” (NI
51-101) issued by the Canadian Securities Administrators, in all of our reserves
related disclosures. NI 51-101 was effective September 30, 2003 and applies to
financial years ended on or after December 31, 2003. NI 51-101 mandates
significant changes in the way reporting issuers are required to determine and
publicly disclose information relating to oil and gas reserves. Under NI 51-101,
proved reserves is an estimate, the premise of which means there must be at
least a ninety percent probability that actual quantities of crude oil and
natural gas proved reserves recovered will equal or exceed the estimated proved
reserves.
The
purpose of NI 51-101 is to enhance the quality, consistency, timeliness and
comparability of crude oil and natural gas activities by reporting issuers and
elevate reserves reporting to a higher level of confidence and accountability.
In the United States, registrants, including foreign private issuers like us,
are required to disclose proved reserves using the standards contained in the
United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Regulation S-X.
However, under certain circumstances, applicable U.S. law permits us to comply
with our own country’s law if the requirements vary. We believe that the
standards for determining proved reserves under NI 51-101 meet those set forth
under U.S. law and thus we have presented our proved reserves under NI 51-101
only.
The crude
oil and natural gas industry commonly applies a conversion factor to production
and estimated proved reserve volumes of natural gas in order to determine an
“all commodity equivalency” referred to as barrels of oil equivalent (“boe”).
The conversion factor we have applied in this Report is the current convention
used by many oil and gas companies, where six thousand cubic feet (“mcf”) is
equal to one barrel (“bbl”). A boe is based on an energy equivalency conversion
method primarily applicable at the burner tip. It may not represent equivalency
at the wellhead and may be misleading if used in isolation.
The
estimate of our proved reserves on a constant-pricing basis, and their
associated net present values, have been based on the August 31, 2008, 2007 and
2006 actual posted commodity prices as determined by our independent
engineering evaluators, Sproule Associates Limited (“Sproule”), a member of the
Association of Professional Engineers Geologists and Geophysicists of Alberta,
Canada. Appropriate adjustments have been made to account for quality and
transportation, to the constant natural gas prices, and to the constant natural
gas by-products prices to reflect historical prices received for each
area. It should not be assumed that the discounted net present value
estimated by Sproule represents the fair market value of the reserves. Where the
present value is based on constant price and cost assumptions, there is no
assurance that such price and cost assumptions will be attained and variances
could be material.
The table
below sets out in CDN dollars the constant prices and the exchange rate used.
All of our reserves are located in Alberta, Canada.

Additional Information Concerning
Abandonment and Reclamation Costs:
As of August 31, 2008 our
only oil and gas interest is a 0.5% overriding royalty in a producing gas well
located in the Haynes area of Alberta and as a result we have no abandonment or
site reclamation obligations. Effective October 28, 2005 we
surrendered our 6% working interest in a gas well slated for abandonment and
related expiring leases in the Mikwan area of Alberta. In exchange for the
surrender of interests, we released our abandonment and site reclamation
obligations.
Present Activities, Results of
Exploration and Drilling:
At the present, we have no pending
results for any drilling or exploration program or additional results pending
from further activities.
Governmental Regulation/Environmental
Issues:
Our oil and gas operations are subject to various
Canadian governmental regulations. Matters subject to regulation include
discharge permits for drilling operations, drilling and abandonment bonds,
reports concerning operations, the spacing of wells, and pooling of properties
and taxation. From time to time, regulatory agencies have imposed price controls
and limitations on production by restricting the rate of flow of oil and gas
wells below actual production capacity in order to conserve supplies of oil and
gas. The production, handling, storage, transportation and disposal of oil and
gas, by-products thereof, and other substances and materials produced or used in

related to complying with these laws, and for remediation of existing
environmental contamination, have not been significant in relation to the
results of operations of our company. The requirements imposed by such laws and
regulations are frequently changed and subject to interpretation, and we are
unable to predict the ultimate cost of compliance with these requirements or
their effect on our operations (See, Item 3.D Key Information - Risk

OPERATING
AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS
|
The
following discussion should be read in conjunction with our “Selected Financial
Data” under Item 3 above, our Audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the
fiscal years ended August 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 and notes thereto included
under “Item 17” and our Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for the
three months ended November 30, 2008 and 2007 and notes thereto included under
“Item 17”. Unless otherwise indicated, discussion under this Item is
based on Canadian dollars and is presented in accordance with Canadian Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). For reference to differences
between Canadian GAAP and United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
(“US GAAP”) see Note 10 to our Audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the
fiscal years ended August 31, 2008 and 2007.
Certain
measures in this discussion and analysis do not have any standardized meaning as
prescribed by Canadian generally accepted accounting principles such as netback
and other production figures and therefore are considered non-GAAP measures.
Therefore these measures may not be comparable to similar measures presented by
other issuers. These measures have been described and presented in order to
provide shareholders and potential investors with additional information
regarding the Company’s liquidity and its ability to generate funds to finance
its operations.
Certain
statements made in this Item are forward-looking statements under the Reform
Act. Forward- looking statements are based on current expectations
that involve a numbers of risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual
events or results to differ materially from those reflected herein. See, Item
3.D Key Information - Risk Factors for discussion of important factors, which
could cause results to differ materially from the forward- looking statements
below.
Overview
Our Audited
Consolidated Financial Statements for the years ended August 31, 2008, August
31, 2007 and August 31, 2006 and our unaudited consolidated financial statements
for the quarters ended November 30, 2008 and November 30, 2007 include our
accounts and those of our wholly owned subsidiary 1406768
Ontario. Our primary business focus consists of acquiring and
developing oil and gas interests. We have a 0.5% NCOR in a natural
gas well located in Haynes, Alberta, Canada. In addition, we hold a
0.3% net smelter return royalty in eight patented mining claims in Red Lake,
Ontario, Canada that is carried on the balance sheet at
Nil. Subsequent to the periods covered by our financial statements,
in February 2009, we acquired 1354166 Alberta Ltd. 1354166 Alberta
Ltd. has a 5.1975% working interest in a natural gas unit located in the Botha
area of Alberta, Canada
Financial
Instruments and Risk Factors
We are
exposed to financial risk, in a range of financial instruments including cash,
other receivables and accounts payable and advances payable and loans payable.
We manage our exposure to financial risks by operating in a manner that
minimizes our exposure to the extent practical. The main financial risks
affecting us are discussed below:
|
·
|
Credit
Risk – Credit risk arises when a failure by counter parties to discharge
their obligations could reduce the amount of future cash inflows from
financial assets on hand at the balance sheet date. We consider this risk
to be limited.
|
|
·
|
Foreign
Exchange Risk – The prices received by us for the production of natural
gas and natural gas liquids are primarily determined in reference to U.S.
dollars but are settled with us in Canadian dollars. Our cash flow for
commodity sales will therefore be impacted by fluctuations in foreign
exchange rates. We consider this risk to be
limited.
|
|
·
|
Interest
Rate Risk – Interest rate risk refers to the risk that the value of a
financial instrument or cash flows associated with the instrument will
fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. We are not exposed to
interest rate risk.
|
|
·
|
Liquidity
Risk – Liquidity risk includes the risk that, as a result of our
operational liquidity requirements:
|
|
•
|
We
will not have sufficient funds to settle transaction on the due
date;
|
|
•
|
We
will be forced to sell financial assets at a value which is less than what
they are worth; or
|
|
•
|
We
may be unable to settle or recover a financial asset at
all.
|
We
consider this risk to be limited.
|
·
|
Fair
Value – The carrying amounts of cash, marketable securities, other
receivables and accounts payable and advances payable approximate their
fair value due to the short-term maturities of these financial
instruments.
|
|
·
|
Commodity
Price Risk – Our ability to maintain our revenue is partially related to
the market price of natural gas. We consider this risk to be
limited.
|
Sensitivity
Analysis
|
·
|
We
have designated our cash as held for trading which is measured at fair
value. As of August 31, 2008 and November 30, 2008 the carrying
and fair value amounts of our financial instruments are approximately
equivalent. Other receivables are classified for accounting purposes as
loans and receivables, which are measured at amortized cost which equals
fair market value. Accounts payable and advances payable are classified
for accounting purposes as other financial liabilities, which are measured
at amortized cost which also equals fair market
value.
|
|
·
|
Based
on management's knowledge and experience of the financial markets, we
believe that the movements in interest rates that are reasonably possible
over the next twelve month period will not have a significant impact on
us.

Capital
Management
Our
objective when managing capital is to safeguard our ability to continue as a
going concern. We set the amount of capital in proportion to risk. We manage the
capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic
conditions and the risk characteristics of any underlying assets. Our board of
directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for
management, but rather relies on the expertise of our management to sustain
future development of the business.
Currently,
we do not have any operational cash requirements other than administrative
expenditures. Our producing properties are fully developed and there are no
further outlays or expenses projected to develop these properties at this
time.
Management
reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that
this approach, given our relative size, is reasonable.
There
were no changes in our capital management during the year ended August 31, 2008
or the quarter ended November 30, 2008.
Critical
Accounting Policies And Estimates And Change In Accounting Policies And Initial
Adoption
Our
significant accounting policies, estimates and changes to accounting policies
are also described in the Notes to the Audited Consolidated Financial
Statements for the fiscal years ended August 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006 (See Item
19 – Exhibits). It is increasingly important to understand that the application
of generally accepted accounting principles involves certain assumptions,
judgments and estimates that affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities,
revenues and expenses. The application of principles can cause varying results
from company to company.
The most
significant accounting policies that impact us relate to oil and gas accounting
and reserve estimates.
Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
Going
Concern
The Audited
Consolidated Financial Statements for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2008 and
the unaudited consolidated interim financial statements for the three months
ended November 30, 2008 have been prepared on a going concern basis which
contemplates the realization of assets and the payment of liabilities in the
ordinary course of business. At present, we do not have sufficient resources to
fund our current working capital requirements. We have planned to obtain
additional financing by way of debt or the issuance of common shares or some
other means to service our current working capital requirements, any additional
or unforeseen obligations or to implement any future opportunities. Should we be
unable to continue as a going concern, we may be unable to realize the carrying
value of our assets and to meet its liabilities as they become due. These
consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments for this
uncertainty.
We have
accumulated losses and working capital and cash flows from operations are
negative which raises doubt as to the validity of the going concern assumption.
As at August 31, 2008, we had a working capital deficiency of $93,634 and an
accumulated deficit of $699,665. At November 30, 2008, we had had a working
capital deficiency of $100,206 and an accumulated deficit of $706,284.
Management of the Company does not have sufficient funds to meet the Company’s
liabilities for the ensuing twelve months as they fall due. In assessing whether
the going concern assumption is appropriate, management takes into account all
available information about the future, which is at least, but not limited to,
twelve months from the end of the reporting period. Our ability to continue
operations and fund our liabilities is dependent on management's ability to
secure additional financing. Management is actively pursuing such additional
sources of financing, and while it has been successful in doing so in the past,
there can be no assurance it will be able to do so in the future. Management is
aware, in making its assessment, of material uncertainties related to events or
conditions that may cast significant doubt upon the entity's ability to continue
as a going concern. Accordingly, they do not give effect to adjustments that
would be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern and
therefore to realize its assets and liquidate its liabilities and commitments in
other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those in
the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Principles
of Consolidation
The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Eugenic Corp.
("Eugenic"), the legal parent, together with its wholly owned subsidiary,
1406768 Ontario Ltd ("1406768"). All material inter-company transactions have
been eliminated.
Marketable
Securities
At each
financial reporting period, we estimate the fair value of investments which are
held-for-trading, based on quoted closing bid prices at the consolidated balance
sheet dates or the closing bid price on the last day the security traded if
there were no trades at the consolidated balance sheet dates and such valuations
are reflected in the consolidated financial statements. The resulting values for
unlisted securities whether of public or private issuers, may not be reflective
of the proceeds that could be realized by us upon their disposition. The fair
value of the securities at year-end was $1 (2007 - $1).
Oil
and Gas Interests
We follow
the successful efforts method of accounting for its oil and gas
interest. Under this method, costs related to the acquisition,
exploration, and development of oil and gas interests are capitalized. We carry
as an asset, exploratory well costs if a) the well found a sufficient quantity
of reserves to justify its completion as a producing well and b) we are making
sufficient progress assessing the reserves and the economic and operating
viability of the project. If a property is not productive or commercially
viable, its costs are written off to operations. Impairment of non
producing properties is assessed based on management's expectations of the
properties.
Costs
capitalized, together with the costs of production equipment, are depleted on
the unit of production method based on the estimated proved
reserves.
Proved
oil and gas properties held and used by us are reviewed for impairment whenever
events and circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be
recoverable. Impairments are measured by the amount by which the asset’s
carrying value exceeds its fair value and is included in the determination of
net income for the year.
Revenue
Recognition
Revenues
associated with the sale of crude oil and natural gas are recorded when the
title passes to the customer. The customer has assumed the risks and rewards of
ownership, prices are fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably
assured. We do not enter into ongoing arrangements whereby we are required to
repurchase our products, nor do we provide the customer with a right of
return.
Royalties
As is
normal to the industry, our future production is subject to crown
royalties. These amounts are reported net of related tax
credits.
Environmental
and Site Restoration Costs
A
provision for environmental and site restoration costs is made when restoration
requirements are established and costs can be reasonably estimated. The accrual
is based on management's best estimate of the present value of the expected cash
flows. Site restoration costs increase the carrying amount of the oil and gas
properties and are amortized on the same basis as the properties.
Foreign
currencies
Assets
and liabilities denominated in currencies other than Canadian dollars are
translated at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenue and
expense items are translated at the average rates of exchange for the year.
Exchange gains and losses are included in the determination of net income for
the year.
Financial
Instruments
Our
financial instruments consist of certain instruments with short term
maturities. It is management's opinion that we are not exposed to any
significant interest rate or credit risks arising from these financial
instruments. The fair value of short term financial instruments
approximates the carrying value. All of our cash is held at one major
financial institution.
Accounting
Estimates
The
preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with Canadian
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and the
disclosures of revenues and expenses for the reported year. Actual
results may differ from those estimates.
The
amounts recorded for depletion and amortization of oil and gas properties and
the valuation of these properties, are based on estimates of proved and probable
reserves, production rates, oil and gas prices, future costs and other relevant
assumptions. The effect on the consolidated financial statements of
changes in estimates in future periods could be significant.
Income
Taxes
We
account for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Under
this method, future income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the
future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial reporting
and tax bases of assets and liabilities and available loss carry forwards and
are measured using the substantively enacted tax rates and laws that will be in
effect when the differences are expected to be reversed. A valuation
allowance is established to reduce tax assets if it is more likely than not that
all or some portions of such tax assets will not be realized.
Stock
Based Compensation
We have a
stock option plan. The fair value method of accounting is used to account for
stock options granted to directors, officers and employees whereby the fair
value of options granted is recorded as a compensation expense in the
consolidated financial statements. Compensation expense is based on the
estimated fair value at the time of the grant and recognized over the vesting
period of the option. Upon exercise of the options, the amount of the
consideration paid together with the amount previously recorded in contributed
surplus is recorded as an increase in share capital.
Non-Monetary
Transactions
Transactions
in which shares or other non-cash consideration are exchanged for assets or
services are measured at the fair value of the assets or services involved in
accordance with Section 3830 (“Non-monetary Transactions”) of the Canadian
Institute of Chartered Accountants Handbook (“CICA Handbook”).
Loss
Per Share
Basic
loss per share is calculated by dividing the loss for the year by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during the
year. Diluted loss per share is computed using the treasury stock method. Under
this method, the diluted weighted average number of shares is calculated
assuming the proceeds that arise from the exercise of stock options and other
dilutive instruments are used to repurchase the Company’s shares at their
weighted average market price for the period.
Change
in Accounting Policy and Future Accounting Changes
|
·
|
Accounting
Changes – During 2007, we adopted the revised CICA Section 1506,
“Accounting Changes”, which provides expanded disclosures for changes in
accounting policies, accounting estimates and corrections of errors. Under
the new standard, accounting changes should be applied retrospectively
unless otherwise permitted or where impracticable to determine. As well,
voluntary changes in accounting policy are made only when required by a
primary source of GAAP or when the change results in more relevant and
reliable information. The impact that the adoption of Section 1506 will
have on our results of operations and financial condition will depend on
the nature of future accounting
changes.
|
|
·
|
Comprehensive
Income (Loss) and Deficit – During 2007, we adopted the CICA Section 1530,
“Comprehensive Income”. Under the new standards, a new statement, the
Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss), has been introduced that will
provide for certain gains and losses arising from changes in fair value,
to be temporarily recorded outside the income statement. Upon adoption of
Section 1530, we incorporated the new required Statement of Comprehensive
Loss by creating “Consolidated Statements of Loss, Comprehensive Loss, and
Deficit”. The application of this revised standard did not result in
comprehensive loss being different from net loss for the periods
presented. Should we recognize any other comprehensive loss in the future,
the cumulative changes in other comprehensive loss would be recognized in
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss, which would be presented as a new
category within shareholders’ deficiency on the consolidated balance
sheets.
|
|
·
|
Financial
Instruments – During 2007, we adopted Section 3855, “Financial Instruments
– Recognition and Measurement”, and Section 3861 “Financial Instruments –
Disclosure and Presentation”. All financial instruments, including
derivatives, are to be included in our Consolidated Balance Sheets and
measured, in most cases, at fair value upon initial recognition.
Measurement in subsequent periods depends on whether the financial
instrument has been classified as held-for-trading, available-for-sale,
held-to-maturity, loans or receivables, or other financial liabilities.
Financial assets and financial liabilities held-for trading are measured
at fair value with changes in those fair values recognized in net
earnings. Financial assets held-to-maturity, loans and receivables, and
other financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the
effective interest method of amortization. Investments in equity
instruments classified as available-for-sale that do not have a quoted
market price in an active market are measured at the lower of cost and the
carrying value. The financial instruments recognized on our consolidated
balance sheets are deemed to approximate their estimated fair values,
therefore no further adjustments were required upon adoption of the new
section. We have designated its cash as held-for-trading which is measured
at fair value and its marketable securities have been designated as
available-for-sale. All other financial assets were classified as loans or
receivables. All financial liabilities were classified as other
liabilities.
|
|
·
|
Hedges
– During fiscal 2008 we adopted CICA Section 3865, “Hedges” which
specifies circumstances under which hedge accounting is permissible and
how hedge accounting may be performed. The Company currently does not have
any hedges.
|
|
·
|
Financial
Instruments – Disclosures and Presentation – During fiscal 2008, we
adopted CICA Section 3862, “Financial Instruments – Disclosures” and
Section 3863, “Financial Instruments–Presentation”, which will replace
Section 3861, “Financial Instruments – Disclosure and Presentation”. These
new sections 3862 (on disclosures) and 3863 (on presentation) replace
Section 3861, revising and enhancing its disclosure requirements, and
carrying forward unchanged its presentation requirements. Section 3862
complements the principles recognizing measuring and presenting financial
assets and financial liabilities in Financial Instruments. Section 3863
deals with the classification of financial instruments, from the
perspective of the issuer, between liabilities and equity, the
classification of related interest, dividends, losses and gains, and the
circumstances in which financial assets and financial liabilities are
offset.
|
|
·
|
Capital
Disclosures – During fiscal 2008, we adopted CICA 1535, “Capital
Disclosures”. This new pronouncement establishes standards for disclosing
information about an entity’s capital and how it is managed. Section 1535
also requires the disclosure of any externally-imposed capital
requirements, whether the entity has complied with them, and if not, the
consequences.
|
|
·
|
Inventories
– During fiscal 2008 we adopted CICA Section 3031, “Inventories”. This new
standard did not have an impact on our financial
statements.
|
|
·
|
Future
accounting changes – The CICA issued a new accounting standard, Section
3064, “Goodwill and Intangible Assets”. This section replaces Section
3062, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” and Section 3450, “Research
and Development Costs”. Various changes have made to other sections of the
CICA Handbook for consistency purposes. Section 3064 establishes standards
for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of goodwill
subsequent to its initial recognition and of intangible assets by
profit-oriented enterprises. Standards concerning goodwill are unchanged
from the standards included in the previous Section 3062. The new section
will be applicable to financial statements relating to fiscal years
beginning on or after October 1, 2008. Accordingly, the Company will adopt
the new standards for its fiscal year beginning September 1, 2009. We are
currently assessing the impact that the adoption of this standard will
have on its financial statements.
|
The CICA
has amended Section 1400, “General Standard of Financial Statement Presentation”
which is effective for annual and interim financial periods beginning on or
after October 1, 2008 to include requirements to assess and disclose the
Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The adoption of this new
section is not expected to have an impact on our financial
statements.
Business
Combinations, Consolidated Financial Statements and Non-controlling Interests –
The CICA issued three new accounting standards in January 2009: section 1582,
Business Combinations
,
section 1601,
Consolidated
Financial Statements
, and section 1602,
Non-controlling interests
.
These new standards will be effective for fiscal years beginning on or after
January 1, 2011. The Company is in the process of evaluating the requirements of
the new standards.
Section
1582 replaces section 1581, and establishes standards for the accounting for a
business combination. It provides the Canadian equivalent to International
Financial Reporting Standard IFRS 3 –
Business
Combinations
. The section
applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is
on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or
after January 1, 2011.
Sections
1601 and 1602 together replace 1600 –
Consolidated Financial Statements.
Section 1601, establishes standards for the preparation of consolidated
financial statements. Section 1601 applies to interim and annual consolidated
financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after January 1,
2011.
Section
1602 establishes standards for accounting for a non-controlling interest in a
subsidiary in consolidated financial statements subsequent to a business
combination. It is equivalent to the corresponding provisions of International
Financial Reporting Standard IAS 27 -
Consolidated and Separate Financial
Statements
and applies to interim and annual consolidated financial
statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after January 1,
2011.
In 2006,
the Canadian Accounting Standards Board (“AcSB”) published a new strategic plan
that will significantly affect financial reporting requirements for Canadian
companies. The AcSB strategic plan outlines the convergence of Canadian GAAP the
International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) over an expected five year
transitional period. In February 2008 the AcSB announced that 2011 is the
changeover date for publicly-listed companies to use IFRS, replacing Canada’s
own GAAP. The transition date of September 1, 2011 will require the
restatement for comparative purposes of amounts reported by the Company for the
year ended August 31, 2012. While we have begun assessing the adoption of IFRS
for 2012, the financial reporting of the transition to IFRS cannot be reasonably
estimated at this time.
Recently
Issued United States Accounting Standards
Our
accounting policies do not differ materially from accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States ("US GAAP") except for the
following:
Recently
Issued United States Accounting Standards:
In July
2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") has published FASB
Interpretation No. 48 ("FIN No. 48), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,
to address the non comparability in reporting tax assets and liabilities
resulting from a lack of specific guidance in FASB Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, on the
uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements.
FIN No. 48 will apply to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, with
earlier adoption permitted. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material
effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
In
September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements." SFAS
No. 157 clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the
assumptions market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability and
establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to
develop those assumptions. Under the standard, fair value measurements would be
separately disclosed by level within the fair value hierarchy. SFAS No. 157 is
effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early
adoption permitted. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 as noted below was
deferred.
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined
Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans – an amendment of FASB Statements
No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)”. This statement requires employers to recognize the
overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other
than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its statement of
financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in
which the changes occur through comprehensive income of a business entity or
changes in unrestricted net assets of a not-for-profit organization. This
statement also requires an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of
the date of its year-end statement of financial position, with limited
exceptions. The provisions of SFAS No. 158 are effective for employers with
publicly traded equity securities as of the end of the fiscal year ending after
December 15, 2006. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect
on our future reported financial position or results of operations.
In
September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (Topic 1N), “Quantifying Misstatements in Current
Year Financial Statements” (“SAB No. 108”). SAB No. 108 addresses how the effect
of prior year uncorrected misstatements should be considered when quantifying
misstatements in current year financial statements. SAB No. 108 requires SEC
registrants (i) to quantify misstatements using a combined approach which
considers both the balance sheet and income statement approaches; (ii) to
evaluate whether either approach results in quantifying an error that is
material in light of relevant quantitative and qualitative factors; and (iii) to
adjust their financial statements if the new combined approach results in a
conclusion that an error is material. SAB No. 108 addresses the mechanics of
correcting misstatements that include effects from prior years. It indicates
that the current year correction of a material error that includes prior year
effects may result in the need to correct prior year financial statements even
if the misstatement in the prior year oryears is considered immaterial. Any
prior year financial statements found to be materially misstated in years
subsequent to the issuance of SAB No. 108 would be restated in accordance with
SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections”. Because the combined
approach represents a change in practice, the SEC staff will not require
registrants that followed an acceptable approach in the past to restate prior
years’ historical financial statements. Rather, these registrants can report the
cumulative effect of adopting the new approach as an adjustment to the current
year’s beginning balance of retained earnings. If the new approach is adopted in
a quarter other than the first quarter, financial statements for prior interim
periods within the year of adoption may need to be restated. SAB No. 108 is
effective for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006, which for us would be
its fiscal year beginning September 1, 2007. The implementation of SAB No. 108
did not have a material impact on our results of operations and financial
condition.
In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 (“SFAS 159”) – the fair value option
for financial assets and liabilities including an amendment of SFAS 115. This
Statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and
certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial
reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in
reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently
without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. This statement is
expected to expand the use of fair value measurement objectives for accounting
for financial instruments. This statement is effective as of the beginning of an
entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007, and interim
periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted as of the
beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided
the entity also elects to apply the provisions of FASB Statement No. 157, “Fair
Value Measures”. We are currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 159 on our
consolidated financial statements.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, “Business Combinations”, which
requires recognition of the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and
non-controlling interest arising in a business combination at their fair value
as of the acquisition date. In addition, the costs of acquisition must be
expensed. This statement is effective for business combinations for which the
acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting
period beginning on or after December 15, 2008.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, "Non-controlling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements-An Amendment of ARB No. 51" ("SFAS 160"). SFAS
160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling
interest in a subsidiary (previously referred to as minority interests). SFAS
160 also requires that a retained non-controlling interest upon the
deconsolidation of a subsidiary be initially measured at its fair value. Upon
adoption of SFAS 160, we would be required to report any non-controlling
interests as a separate component of stockholders' equity. We would also be
required to present any net income allocable to non- controlling interests and
net income attributable to our stockholders separately in our consolidated
statements of operations. SFAS 160 is effective for annual periods beginning
after December 15, 2008.
During
February 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No 157-2, "Effective Date of FASB
Statement No. 157" ("FSP FAS 157-2"). FSP FAS 157-2 delayed the effective date
of FAS No. 157 by one year until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008
for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities that are recognized or
disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis. The
Company does not believe the adoption of this statement will have a material
impact on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of
operations.
In March
2008, the FASB issued FAS No. 161, “Disclosure about Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities” (“FAS 161”). FAS 161 changes the disclosure requirements for
derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures
about how and why an entity uses derivatives instruments, how derivative
instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s operating results,
financial position, and cash flows. FAS 161 is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November
15, 2008. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently reviewing the
provisions of FAS 161. However, as the provisions of FAS 161 are only related to
disclosure of derivative and hedging activities, we do not believe the adoption
of FAS 161 will have a material impact on its consolidated operating results,
financial position or cash flows.
May 2008,
the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles “("SFAS No. 162"). The new standard is intended to improve financial
reporting by identifying a consistent framework, or hierarchy, for selecting
accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are
presented in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles
(GAAP) for nongovernmental entities. SFAS No. 162 is effective 60 days following
the Securities and Exchange Commission's approval of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board Auditing amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of
Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. We
are currently evaluating the impact of adoption of SFAS No. 162 but do not
expect adoption to have a material impact on results of operations, cash flows
or financial position.
In May
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 163, Accounting for Finance Guarantee Insurance
Contracts – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60. The premium revenue
recognition approach for a financial guarantee insurance contract links premium
revenue recognition to the amount of insurance protection and the period in
which it is provided. For purposes of this statement, the amount of insurance
protection provided is assumed to be a function of the insured principal amount
outstanding, since the premium received requires the insurance enterprise to
stand ready to protect holders of an insured financial obligation from loss due
to default over the period of the insured financial obligation. This Statement
is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2008.
During
September 2008, FASB issued Staff Position No 157-3 "Determining the Fair Value
of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active" ("FSP FAS
157-3"). FSP FAS 157-3 clarifies the application of FASB Statement No. 157 in a
market that is not active. FSP FAS 157-3 is effective immediately for the
Company. The guidance provided by FSP FAS 157-3 did not affect the Company's
consolidated financial position or results of operations.
There are
no material differences between the consolidated balance sheets prepared using
Canadian GAAP and U.S. GAAP.

a) On
April 14, 2008 we completed a non-brokered private placement of 2,575,000 units
at a price of $0.10 per unit for gross proceeds of $257,500 (proceeds net of
issue costs $252,188). Each unit consists of one common share and one warrant,
exercisable by the holder to acquire one additional common share at a price of
$0.20 per unit until April 14, 2011.
b) On
April 14, 2008 we entered into agreements to convert debt in the amount of
$150,000 though the issuance of 1,500,000 shares at an attributed value of $0.10
per share (the “Debt Conversion”).
As part
of the April 14, 2008 Debt Conversion, Ms. Hall, our President, converted
$50,000 of debt through the issuance of 500,000 common shares at an attributed
value of $0.10 per share and forgave $38,000 of debt owed to her by us, which
was recorded as an increase to contributed surplus. The transaction was
unanimously approved by our independent directors on April 14, 2008 and closed
in escrow until May 5, 2008.

August
31, 2008 – 2007
For the

comparable period in 2007 primarily a result of decreased natural gas sales
volumes. The net loss for the year ended August 31, 2008 was $50,514 compared to
a net loss of $39,945 in 2007. The increase in net loss and comprehensive loss
for the year ended August 31, 2008 was primarily attributed to an increase in
professional fees of $9,635 and an increase in transfer and registrar costs of
$2,401. For the year ended August 31, 2008 assets increased by $198,740 to
$208,486 compared to assets of $9,746 for the same period in 2007. The increase
in assets for the year ended August 31, 2008 was primarily attributed to an
increase in cash from the issuance of common shares.
August
31, 2007 – 2006
For the
year ended August 31, 2007 revenue slightly decreased compared to revenue in the
comparable period in 2006 as a result of decreased natural gas prices received.
The net loss for the year ended August 31, 2007 was $39,945 compared to a net
loss of $51,152 in the prior period in 2006. The decrease in net loss and
comprehensive loss for the year ended August 31, 2007 was primarily attributed
to the write off of debt in the amount of $5,274 and a decrease in professional
fees of $5,474. For the year ended August 31, 2007 assets increased by $1,448 to
$9,746 compared to assets of $8,298 for the same period in 2006. The increase in
assets for the year ended August 31, 2007 was primarily attributed to an
increase in other receivables of $2,640, offset by a write down of oil and gas
interests of $828.
November
30, 2008 – 2007
For the
three months ended November 30, 2008 revenue decreased by 8% to $65 compared to

30, 2008 was $6,619 up 6% compared to a net loss of $6,265 for the prior period
in 2007. The increase in net loss for the three months ended November 30, 2008
was primarily attributed to higher transfer and registrar costs off-set by lower
general and office costs and head office services. For the three months ended
November 30, 2008 assets decreased by $8,694 to $199,792 compared to assets of
$208,486 at August 31, 2008. The decrease in assets for the three months ended
November 30, 2008 was primarily attributed to a decrease which was partially

Revenue
over the four quarters ended August 31, 2008 has fluctuated as a result of
changes in natural gas sales prices received and natural gas sales volumes. The
increase in net loss and comprehensive loss for the quarter ended August 31,
2008 was primarily attributed to an increase in professional fees relating to
the year-end audit, costs associated with the evaluation of our reserves and a
write down of oil and gas interests.

Revenue
over the four quarters ended August 31, 2006 declined primarily as a result of a
decrease in natural gas sales volumes from a depleting gas well. The increase in
net loss and comprehensive loss for the quarter ended August 31, 2006 was
attributed to decreased revenues, increased depletion, an increase in
professional fees relating to the year-end audit and costs associated with the
evaluation of the Company’s reserves. The increased loss for the quarter ended
February 28, 2006 was related to higher professional fees.
B. LIQUIDITY
AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash as
of August 31, 2008 was $202,726 compared to cash of $952 at August 31, 2007. We
had a working capital deficiency of $93,634 at August 31, 2008 compared to a
working capital deficiency of $483,860 at August 31, 2007. The decrease in
working capital deficiency was primarily attributed to an increase in cash from
receipt of funds through the issuance of common shares, the conversion of debt
for shares and the forgiveness of debt by our President. During the year ended
August 31, 2008 the primary use of funds was related to general and
administrative expenditures. We will require additional sources of revenue or
investment to meet its current and future working capital
obligations.
Cash as
of November 30, 2008 was $193,732 compared to cash of $202,726 at August 31,
2008. The Company has a working capital deficiency of $100,206 at November 30,
2008 compared to a working capital deficiency of $93,634 at August 31, 2008. The
increase in working capital deficiency was primarily attributed to a decrease in
cash held by the Company which was used to pay down accounts payable. During the
three months ended November 30, 2008 the primary use of funds was related to
general and administrative expenditures. The Company will require additional
sources of revenue or investment to meet its current and future working capital
obligations. Our past primary source of liquidity and capital resources has been
advances, cash flow from oil and gas operations, proceeds from the sale of
marketable securities and the issuance of common shares. At present, we do not
have sufficient resources to fund our current working capital requirements. We
may be required to obtain additional financing by way of debt or the issuance of
common shares or some other means to service our current working capital
requirements, any additional or unforeseen obligations or to implement any
future opportunities.
If we
issued additional common shares from treasury it would cause our current
shareholders dilution.
Outlook
and Capital Requirements
The
Company’s producing properties are fully developed and there are no further
outlays or expenses projected to develop these properties at this time.
Management of the Company recognizes that cash flow from operations is not
sufficient to expand its oil and gas operations and reserves. The Company will
be required to obtain external financing in order to participate in any
additional opportunities. In order to obtain financing the Company may be
required to obtain a listing of its common shares.
C. RESEARCH
AND DEVELOPMENT, PATENTS AND LICENSES
Not
applicable.
D. TREND
INFORMATION
Seasonality
Our oil
and gas operations is not a seasonal business, but increased consumer demand or
changes in supply in certain months of the year can influence the price of
produced hydrocarbons, depending on the circumstances. Production from our oil
and gas properties is the primary determinant for the volume of sales during the
year.
There are
a number of trends that have been developing in the oil and gas industry during
the past several years that appear to be shaping the near future of the
business. The first trend is the volatility of commodity prices. Natural gas is
a commodity influenced by factors within North America. The continued tight
supply demand balance for natural gas is causing significant elasticity in
pricing. Despite record drilling activity, a strong economy, weather, fuel
switching and demand for electrical generation there still exists a tight supply
causing prices to remain high.
Crude oil
is influenced by the world economy and OPEC's ability to adjust supply to world
demand. Recently crude oil prices have been kept high by political events
causing disruptions in the supply of oil, and concern over potential supply
disruptions triggered by unrest in the Middle East.
Political
events trigger large fluctuations in price levels. The impact on the oil and gas
industry from commodity price volatility is significant. During periods of high
prices, producers generate sufficient cash flows to conduct active exploration
programs without external capital. Increased commodity prices frequently
translate into very busy periods for service suppliers triggering premium costs
for their services. Purchasing land and properties similarly increase in price
during these periods. During low commodity price periods, acquisition costs
drop, as do internally generated funds to spend on exploration and development
activities. With decreased demand, the prices charged by the various service
suppliers also decline.
A second
trend within the Canadian oil and gas industry is recent growth in the number of
private and small junior oil and gas companies starting up business. These
companies often have experienced management teams from previous industry
organizations that have disappeared as a part of the ongoing industry
consolidation. Many are able to raise capital and recruit well qualified
personnel.
A third
trend currently affecting the oil and gas industry is the impact on capital
markets caused by investor uncertainty in the North American economy. The
capital market volatility in Canada has also been affected by uncertainties
surrounding the economic impact that the Kyoto Protocol will have on the sector.
Generally during the past year, the economic recovery combined with increased
commodity prices has caused an increase in new equity financings in the oil and
gas industry. We must compete with the numerous new companies and their new
management teams and development plans in its access to capital. The competitive
nature of the oil and gas industry will cause opportunities for equity
financings to be selective. Some companies will have to rely on internally
generated funds to conduct their exploration and developmental
programs.
E. OFF-BALANCE
SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
There are
no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a
current or future effect on our financial condition, changes of financial
condition, revenues, or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital
expenditures or capital resources, which individually or in the aggregate are
material to our investors.

Compensation
of Directors
Each
director of ours is entitled to receive the sum of $100 for each meeting of the
directors or shareholders attended. During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2008
no amount was paid by us with respect to such fees.
Long-Term
Incentive Plan Awards (“LTIP”)
We do not
have any Long-term Incentive Plans and, as disclosed above, no remuneration
payments were made directly by us to the named executive officers and directors
during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2008.
An LTIP
means "any Plan providing compensation intended to serve as an incentive for
performance to occur over a period longer than one fiscal year, whether
performance is measured by reference to financial performance of a company or an
affiliate or the price of the company's shares but does not include option or
stock appreciation rights, plans or plans for compensation through restricted
shares or units".
Defined
Benefit or Actuarial Plan Disclosure
We do not
have a defined benefit or actuarial plan.
Termination
of Employment, Change in Responsibilities, Employment Contracts
We have
no employment contracts with any of our executive officers or
directors.
We have
no compensatory plan, contract or arrangement where a named executive officer or
director is entitled to receive compensation in the event of resignation,
retirement, termination, change of control or a change in responsibilities
following a change in control.
Option/Stock
Appreciation Rights (“SAR”) Grants During the Most Recently Completed Financial
Year
As of our
fiscal year end August 31, 2008 we had no option/stock appreciation rights or
grants outstanding.
Our Stock
Option Plan (the "Plan") was adopted by our board of directors on April 5, 2000
and approved by a majority of our shareholders voting at the Annual and Special
Meeting held on May 10, 2000. The Plan was adopted in order that we
may be able to provide incentives for directors, officers, employees,
consultants and other persons (an “Eligible Individual”) to participate in our
growth and development by providing us with the opportunity through share
options to acquire an ownership interest in us. Directors and
officers currently are not remunerated for their services except as stated in
“Executive Compensation” above.
The
maximum number of common shares which may be set aside for issue under the Plan
is 1,275,000 common shares, provided that the board has the right, from time to
time, to increase such number subject to the approval of our shareholders and
any relevant stock exchange or other regulatory authority. The
maximum number of common shares which may be reserved for issuance to any one
person under the plan is 5% of the common shares outstanding at the time of the
grant less the number of shares reserved for issuance to such person under any
options for services or any other stock option plans. Any common
shares subject to an option, which are not exercised, will be available for
subsequent grant under the Plan. The option price of any common
shares cannot be less than the closing sale price of such shares quoted on any
trading system or on such stock exchange in Canada on which the common shares
are listed and posted for trading as may be selected for such purpose by the
board of directors, on the day immediately preceding the day upon which the
grant of the option is approved by the board of directors.
Options
granted under the Plan may be exercised during a period no exceeding five years,
subject to earlier termination upon the optionee ceasing to be an Eligible
Individual, or, in accordance with the terms of the grant of the
option. The options are non-transferable and non-assignable except
between an Eligible Individual and a related corporation controlled by such
Eligible Individual upon the consent of the board of directors. The
Plan contains provisions for adjustment in the number of shares issuable there
under in the event of subdivision, consolidation, reclassification,
reorganization or change in the number of common shares, a merger or other
relevant change in the Company’s capitalization. The board of
directors may from time to time amend or revise the terms of the Plan or may
terminate the Plan at any time.
As at the
date hereof, no options were outstanding or exercised pursuant to the
Plan.
Aggregate
Option/SAR Exercises During the Most Recently Completed Financial Year and
Financial Year-End Option/SAR Values
Not
applicable.
C. BOARD
PRACTICES
The
current terms of each of our directors began on August 10, 2000 except for Mr.
Jarvis who was appointed on July 21, 2005. Our directors serve until our next
Annual General Meeting or until a successor is duly elected, unless the office
is vacated in accordance with our Articles or Bylaws. Our sole
executive officer was appointed by our Board of Directors to serve until the
earlier of her resignation or removal, with or without cause by the directors.
There was no compensation paid by us to our directors during the fiscal year
ended August 31, 2008 for their services in their capacity as directors or any
compensation paid to committee members.
Corporate

and their committees and the recruitment, effectiveness and education of board
members. A description of our corporate governance practices is set out below,
including a discussion of the principal matters relating to corporate governance
practices discussed in NI 58-101.
Board
of Directors
The
mandate of our board of directors, prescribed by the Business Corporations Act
(Ontario), is to manage or supervise the management of our business and affairs
and to act with a view to our best interests. In doing so, the board oversees
the management of our affairs directly and through its committees.
As of
August 31, 2008 and the date of this Registration Statement, our board of
directors consists of three directors, two of which are "independent directors"
in that they are "independent from management and free from any interest and any
business or other relationship which could, or could reasonably be perceived to,
materially interfere with the directors ability to act with a view to our best
interests, other than interests and relationships arising from
shareholding". The independent directors are Milton Klyman and
William Jarvis. It is our practice to attempt to maintain a diversity
of professional and personal experience among our directors.
The board
of directors has met at least once annually or otherwise as circumstances
warrant to review our business operations, corporate governance and financial
results. The table below reflects the attendance of each director of
ours at each Board and committee meeting of the Board during the fiscal year
ended August 31, 2008.

Orientation
and Continuing Education
We have
developed an orientation program for new directors including a director’s manual
(“Director’s Manual”) which contains information regarding the roles and
responsibilities of the board, each board committee, the board chair, the chair
of each board committee and our president. The Director’s Manual contains
information regarding its organizational structure, governance policies
including the Board Mandate and each Board committee charter, and our code of
business conduct and ethics. The Director’s Manual is updated as our business,
governance documents and policies change. We update and inform the board
regarding corporate developments and changes in legal, regulatory and industry
requirements affecting us.
Assessments
The board
assesses, on an annual basis, the contributions of the board as a whole, the
Audit Committee and each of the individual directors, in order to determine
whether each are functioning effectively. The board monitors the adequacy of
information given to directors, communication between the board and management
and the strategic direction and processes of the board and
committees. The Audit Committee will annually review the Audit
Committee Charter and recommend, if any, revisions to the board as
necessary.
Ethical
Business Conduct
We have
adopted a written code of business conduct and ethics (the “Code”) for our
directors, officers and employees. The board encourages following the Code by
making it widely available. It is distributed to directors in the Director’s
Manual and to officers, employees and consultants at the commencement of their
employment or consultancy. The Code reminds those engaged in service
to us that they are required to report perceived or actual violations of the
law, violations of our policies, dangers to health, safety and the environment,
risks to our property, and accounting or auditing irregularities to the chair of
the Audit Committee who is an independent director of ours. In addition, to
requiring directors, officers and employees to abide by the Code, we encourage
consultants, service providers and all parties who engage in business with us to
contact the chair of the Audit Committee regarding any perceived and all actual
breaches by our directors, officers and employees of the Code. The chair of our
Audit Committee is responsible for investigating complaints, presenting
complaints to the applicable board committee or the board as a whole, and
developing a plan for promptly and fairly resolving complaints. Upon conclusion
of the investigation and resolution of a complaint, the chair of our Audit
Committee will advise the complainant of the corrective action measures that
have been taken or advise the complainant that the complaint has not been
substantiated. The Code prohibits retaliation by us, our directors and
management, against complainants who raise concerns in good faith and requires
us to maintain the confidentiality of complainants to the greatest extent
practical. Complainants may also submit their concerns anonymously in writing.
In addition to the Code, we have an Audit Committee Charter and a Policy of
Procedures for Disclosure Concerning Financial/Accounting
Irregularities.
Since the
beginning of our most recently completed financial year, no material change
reports have been filed that pertain to any conduct of a director or executive
officer that constitutes a departure from the Code. The board encourages and
promotes a culture of ethical business conduct by appointing directors who
demonstrate integrity and high ethical standards in their business dealings and
personal affairs. Directors are required to abide by the Code and expected to
make responsible and ethical decisions in discharging their duties, thereby
setting an example of the standard to which management and employees should
adhere. The board is required by the Board Mandate to satisfy our CEO and other
executive officers are acting with integrity and fostering a culture of
integrity throughout the Company. The board is responsible for reviewing
departures from the Code, reviewing and either providing or denying waivers from
the Code, and disclosing any waivers that are granted in accordance with
applicable law. In addition, the board is responsible for responding to
potential conflict of interest situations, particularly with respect to
considering existing or proposed transactions and agreements in respect of which
directors or executive officers advise they have a material interest. The Board
Mandate requires that directors and executive officers disclose any interest and
the extent, no matter how small, of their interest in any transaction or
agreement with us, and that directors excuse themselves from both board
deliberations and voting in respect of transactions in which they have an
interest. By taking these steps the board strives to ensure that directors
exercise independent judgment, unclouded by the relationships of the directors
and executive officers to each other and us, in considering transactions and
agreements in respect of which directors and executive officers have an
interest.

As of the
date of the filing of this Registration Statement, to the knowledge of our

Our Stock
Option Plan (the "Plan") was adopted by our Board of Directors on April 5, 2000
and approved by a majority of our shareholders voting at the Annual and Special
Meeting held on May 10, 2000. The Plan was adopted in order that we
may be able to provide incentives for our directors, officers, employees,
consultants and other persons (an “Eligible Individual”) to participate in our
growth and development by providing them with the opportunity through share
options to acquire an ownership interest in us.
The
maximum number of common shares which may be set aside for issue under the Plan
is 1,275,000 common shares, provided that the board has the right, from time to
time, to increase such number subject to the approval of our shareholders and
any relevant stock exchange or other regulatory authority. The
maximum number of common shares which may be reserved for issuance to any one
person under the plan is 5% of the common shares outstanding at the time of the
grant less the number of shares reserved for issuance to such person under any
options for services or any other stock option plans. Any common
shares subject to an option, which are not exercised, will be available for
subsequent grant under the Plan. The option price of any common
shares cannot be less than the closing sale price of such shares quoted on any
trading system or on such stock exchange in Canada on which the common shares
are listed and posted for trading as may be selected for such purpose by the
board of directors, on the day immediately preceding the day upon which the
grant of the option is approved by the board of directors.
Options
granted under the Plan may be exercised during a period no exceeding five (5)
years, subject to earlier termination upon the optionee ceasing to be an
Eligible Individual, or, in accordance with the terms of the grant of the
option. The options are non-transferable and non-assignable except
between an Eligible Individual and a related corporation controlled by such
Eligible Individual upon the consent of the board of directors. The
Plan contains provisions for adjustment in the number of shares issuable there
under in the event of subdivision, consolidation, reclassification,
reorganization or change in the number of common shares, a merger or other
relevant change in our capitalization. The board of directors may
from time to time amend or revise the terms of the Plan or may terminate the
Plan at any time.

Articles of Amendment dated August 16, 2000 our articles were amended to
consolidate our issued and outstanding common shares on the basis on one common
share for every three issued and outstanding common shares in our capital, and
change our name from Bonanza Red Lake Explorations Inc. to Eugenic
Corp.
Our
Articles of Amendment state that there are no restrictions on the business that
may carry on, but do not contain a stated purpose or objective.
Bylaws
No
director of ours is permitted to vote on any resolution to approve a material
contract or transaction in which such director has a material
interest. (Bylaws, Article 43).
Neither
our Articles nor our Bylaws limit the directors’ power, in the absence of an
independent quorum, to vote compensation to themselves or any members of their
body. The Bylaws provide that directors shall receive remuneration as
the board of directors shall determine from time to time. (Bylaws,
Article 44).
Under our
Articles and Bylaws, our board of directors may, without the authorization of
our shareholders, (i) borrow money upon our credit; (ii) issue, reissue, sell or
pledge debt obligations of ours; whether secured or unsecured (iii) give a
guarantee on behalf of us to secure performance of obligations; and (iv) charge,
mortgage, hypothecate, pledge or otherwise create a security interest in all
currently owned or subsequently acquired real or personal, movable or immovable,
tangible or intangible, property of ours to secure obligations.
Annual
general meetings of our shareholders are held on such day as is determined by
resolution of the directors. (Bylaws, Article 6). Special meetings of
our shareholders may be convened by order of our Chairman of the Board, our
President if he/she is a director, a Vice-President who is a director, or the
board of directors. (Bylaws, Article 6). Shareholders of record must
be given notice of such special meeting not less than 10 days or more than 50
days before the date of the meeting. Notices of special meetings of
shareholders must state the nature of the business to be transacted in detail
and must include the text of any special resolution or bylaw to be submitted to
the meeting. (Bylaws, Article 8). Our board of directors is permitted
to fix a record date for any meeting of the shareholders that is between 21 and
50 days prior to such meeting. (Bylaws, Article 9). The only persons
entitled to admission at a meeting of the shareholders are shareholders entitled
to vote, our directors, our auditors, and others entitled by law, by invitation
of the chairman of the meeting, or by consent of the meeting. (Bylaws, Article
13).
Neither
our Articles nor our Bylaws discuss limitations on the rights to own securities
or exercise voting rights thereon, and there is no provision of our Articles or
Bylaws that would delay, defer or prevent a change in control of us, or that
would operate only with respect to a merger, acquisition, or corporate
restructuring involving us or any of its subsidiaries. Our Bylaws do
not contain a provision indicating an ownership threshold above which
shareholder ownership must be disclosed.
Other
Provisions
Neither
our Articles nor our Bylaws discuss the retirement or non-retirement of
directors under an age limit requirement or the number of shares required for
director qualification.
Neither
our Articles nor our Bylaws require that a director hold a share in the capital
of the Company as qualification for his/her office.
Neither
our Articles nor our Bylaws contain sinking fund provisions, provisions allowing
us to make further capital calls with respect to any shareholder of ours, or
provisions which discriminate against any holders of securities as a result of
such shareholder owning a substantial number of shares.
C. MATERIAL
CONTRACTS
During
the year period preceding the filing date of this Registration Statement, we
entered into no material contracts other than contracts entered into in the
ordinary course except for the following:
On
February 27, 2009, we purchased all of the issued and outstanding shares issued
in the capital stock of 1354166 Alberta Ltd., a company incorporated on October
3, 2007 in the Province of Alberta Canada (the "Transaction"). In
connection therewith, we issued to the shareholders of 1354166 an aggregate of
8,910,564 units (each a "Unit") at $0.05 per unit or an aggregate of $445,528
and following the closing repaid $118,000 of shareholder loans in 1354166 by
cash payment. Each unit is comprised of one share of our common stock
(each a "Share") and one purchase warrant (each a "Warrant"). Each
Warrant is exercisable until February 27, 2014 to purchase one additional share
of our common stock at a purchase price of $0.07 per share. The
shareholders of 1354166 and 1354166 itself are arm's-length parties to
us. 1354166 is a private company that has a 5.1975% working interest
held in trust through a joint venture partner in a natural gas unit located in
the Botha area of Alberta, Canada.
D. EXCHANGE
CONTROLS
There are
no governmental laws, decrees or regulations in Canada that restrict the export
or import of capital, or affect the remittance of dividends, interest or other
payments to a non-resident holder of our common stock, other than withholding
tax requirements (See "Taxation" below).
Except as
provided in the Investment Canada Act, there are no limitations imposed under
the laws of Canada, the Province of Ontario, or by our constituent documents on
the right of a non-resident to hold or vote our common stock.
The
Investment Canada Act (the "ICA"), which became effective on June 30, 1985,
regulates the acquisition by non-Canadians of control of a Canadian business
enterprise. In effect, the ICA requires review by Investment Canada,
the agency which administers the ICA, and approval by the Canadian government,
in the case of an acquisition of control of a Canadian business by a
non-Canadian where: (i) in the case of a direct acquisition (for example,
through a share purchase or asset purchase), the assets of the business are CDN
$5 million or more in value; or (ii) in the case of an indirect acquisition (for
example, the acquisition of the foreign parent of the Canadian business) where
the Canadian business has assets of CDN $5 million or more in value or if the
Canadian business represents more than 50% of the assets of the original group
and the Canadian business has assets of CDN $5 million or more in
value. Review and approval are also required for the acquisition or
establishment of a new business in areas concerning "Canada's cultural heritage
or national identity" such as book publishing, film production and distribution,
television and radio production and distribution of music, and the oil and
natural gas industry, regardless of the size of the investment.
As
applied to an investment in us, three methods of acquiring control of a Canadian
business would be regulated by the ICA: (i) the acquisition of all or
substantially all of the assets used in carrying on the Canadian business; (ii)
the acquisition, directly or indirectly, of voting shares of a Canadian
corporation carrying on the Canadian business; or (iii) the acquisition of
voting shares of an entity which controls, directly or indirectly, another
entity carrying on a Canadian business. An acquisition of a majority
of the voting interests of an entity, including a corporation, is deemed to be
an acquisition of control under the ICA. An acquisition of less than
one-third of the voting shares of a corporation is deemed not to be an
acquisition of control. An acquisition of less than a majority, but
one-third or more, of the voting shares of a corporation is presumed to be an
acquisition of control unless it can be established that on the acquisition the
corporation is not, in fact, controlled by the acquirer through the ownership of
voting shares. For partnerships, trusts, joint ventures or other
unincorporated entities, an acquisition of less than a majority of the voting
interests is deemed not to be an acquisition of control.
In 1988,
the ICA was amended, pursuant to the Free Trade Agreement dated January 2, 1988
between Canada and the United States, to relax the restrictions of the
ICA. As a result of these amendments, except where the Canadian
business is in the cultural, oil and gas, uranium, financial services or
transportation sectors, the threshold for direct acquisition of control by US
investors and other foreign investors acquiring control of a Canadian business
from US investors has been raised from CDN $5 million to CDN $150 million of
gross assets, and indirect acquisitions are not reviewable.
In
addition to the foregoing, the ICA requires that all other acquisitions of
control of Canadian businesses by non-Canadians are subject to formal
notification to the Canadian government. These provisions require a
foreign investor to give notice in the required form, which notices are for
information, as opposed to review, purposes.
E. TAXATION
Certain
Canadian Federal Income Tax Consequences
Management
has been advised by its Canadian legal counsel that the following general
summary fairly describes the principal Canadian federal income tax consequences
applicable to a holder of our common shares who, at all material times, is a
resident of the United States and is not a resident, or deemed to be a resident,
of Canada, deals at arm's length and is not affiliated with the Company, did not
acquire our common shares by virtue of employment, is not a financial
institution, partnership or a trust, holds our common shares as capital
property, and does not use or hold, and is not deemed to use or hold, his or her
common shares in connection with carrying on a business in Canada (a
"non-resident shareholder").
This
summary is based upon the current provisions of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the
"ITA"), the regulations thereunder (the "Regulations"), the current publicly
announced administration and assessing policies of Canada Revenue Agency, and
all specific proposals (the "Tax Proposals") to amend the ITA and Regulations
announced by the Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date
hereof. This description is not exhaustive of all possible Canadian
federal income tax consequences and, except for the Tax Proposals, does not take
into account or anticipate any changes in law, whether by legislative,
governmental or judicial action, nor does it take into account any income tax
laws or considerations of any province or territory of Canada or foreign tax
considerations which may differ significantly from those discussed
below. The following discussion is for general information only and
is not intended to be, nor should it be construed to be, legal or tax advice to
any holder of Common Shares of the Company, and no opinion or representation
with respect to the Canadian Federal Income Tax consequences to any such holder
or prospective holder is made. Accordingly, holders and prospective
holders of common shares should consult with their own tax advisors about the
federal, provincial and foreign tax consequences of purchasing, owning and
disposing of common shares.
Dividends
Dividends
paid on our common shares to a non-resident holder will be subject to a 25%
withholding tax pursuant to the provision of the ITA. The Canada-US
Income Tax Convention (the "Treaty") provides that the normal 25% withholding
tax rate is generally reduced to 15% on dividends paid on shares of a
corporation resident in Canada (such as the Company) to beneficial owners who
are residents of the United States. However, if the beneficial owner
is a resident of the United States and is a corporation which owns at
least 10% of the voting stock of the Company, the withholding tax rate on
dividends is reduced to 5%.
Capital
Gains
A
non-resident of Canada is subject to tax under the ITA in respect of a capital
gain realized upon the disposition of a share of a corporation if the shares are
considered to be "taxable Canadian property" of the holder within the meaning of
the ITA and no relief is afforded under an applicable tax treaty. For
purposes of the ITA, a Common Share of the Company will be taxable Canadian
property to a non-resident holder if the non-resident holder and/or persons with
whom that holder does not deal at arm's length holds 25% or more of the issued
shares of any class or series of the capital stock of the Company at any time
during the 60 month period immediately preceding the disposition of the common
share.
In the
case of a non-resident holder to whom shares of our common stock represent
taxable Canadian property and who is a resident in the United States and not a
former resident of Canada, no Canadian taxes will be payable on a capital gain
realized on such shares by reason of the Treaty unless the value of such shares
is derived principally from real property situated in Canada within the meaning
of the Treaty.
Certain
United States Federal Income Tax Consequences
The
following is a general discussion of certain possible United States Federal
income tax consequences, under current law, generally applicable to a US Holder
(as defined below) of our common shares. This discussion does not
address all potentially relevant Federal income tax matters and does not address
consequences peculiar to persons subject to special provisions of Federal income
tax law, such as those described below as excluded from the definition of a US
Holder. In addition, this discussion does not cover any state, local
or foreign tax consequences (See “Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax
Consequences” above).
The
following discussion is based upon the sections of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the “Code”), Treasury Regulations, published Internal Revenue
Service (“IRS”) rulings, published administrative positions of the IRS and court
decisions that are currently applicable, any or all of which could be materially
and adversely changed, possibly on a retroactive basis, at any
time. In addition, this discussion does not consider the potential
effects, both adverse and beneficial, of recently proposed legislation which, if
enacted, could be applied, possibly on a retroactive basis, at any
time. The following discussion is for general information only and it
is not intended to be, nor should it be construed to be, legal or tax advice to
any holder or prospective holder of common shares, and no opinion or
representation with respect to the United States Federal income tax consequences
to any such holder or prospective holder is made. Accordingly,
holders and prospective holders of common shares should consult their own tax
advisors about the Federal, state, local, and foreign tax consequences of
purchasing, owning and disposing of common shares.
U.S.
Holders
As used
herein, a “U.S. Holder” means a holder of common shares who is a citizen or
individual resident (as defined under United States tax laws) of the United
States; a corporation created or organized in or under the laws of the United
States or of any political subdivision thereof; an estate the income of which is
taxable in the United States irrespective of source; or a trust if (a) a court
within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the
trust’s administration and one or more United States persons have the authority
to control all of its substantial decisions or (b) the trust was in existence on
August 20, 1996 and has properly elected to continue to be treated as a United
States person. This summary does not address the United States tax
consequences to, and U.S. Holder does not include, persons subject to specific
provisions of federal income tax law, including but not limited to tax-exempt
organizations, qualified retirement plans, individual retirement accounts and
other tax-deferred accounts, financial institutions, insurance companies, real
estate investment trusts, regulated investment companies, broker-dealers,
non-resident alien individuals, persons or entities that have a “functional
currency” other than the U.S. dollar, persons who hold common shares as part of
a straddle, hedging or a conversion transaction, and persons who acquire their
common shares as compensation for services. This summary is limited
to U.S. Holders who own common shares as capital assets and who hold the common
shares directly (e.g., not through an intermediary entity such as a corporation,
partnership, limited liability company, or trust). This summary does
not address the consequences to a person or entity of the ownership, exercise or
disposition of any options, warrants or other rights to acquire common
shares.
Distributions
on Our Common Shares
Subject
to the discussion below regarding passive foreign investment companies
(“PFICs”), the gross amount of any distribution (including non-cash property) by
us (including any Canadian taxes withheld therefrom) with respect to common
shares generally should be included in the gross income of a U.S. Holder as
foreign source dividend income to the extent such distribution is paid out of
current or accumulated earnings and profits of ours, as determined under United
States Federal income tax principles. Distributions received by
non-corporate U.S. Holders may be subject to United States Federal income tax at
lower rates than other types of ordinary income (generally 15%) in taxable years
beginning on or before December 31, 2010 if certain conditions are
met. These conditions include the Company not being classified as a
PFIC, it being a “qualified foreign corporation,” the U.S. Holder’s satisfaction
of a holding period requirement, and the U.S. Holder not treating the
distribution as “investment income” for purposes of the investment interest
deduction rules. To the extent that the amount of any distribution
exceeds our current and accumulated earnings and profits for a taxable year, the
distribution first will be treated as a tax-free return of capital to the extent
of the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in our common shares and to the extent
that such distribution exceeds the Holder’s adjusted tax basis in our common
shares, will be taxed as capital gain. In the case of U.S. Holders
that are corporations, such dividends generally will not be eligible for the
dividends received deduction.
If a U.S.
Holder receives a dividend in Canadian dollars, the amount of the dividend for
United States federal income tax purposes will be the U.S. dollar value of the
dividend (determined at the spot rate on the date of such payment) regardless of
whether the payment is later converted into U.S. dollars. In such
case, the U.S. Holder may recognize additional ordinary income or loss as a
result of currency fluctuations between the date on which the dividend is paid
and the date the dividend amount is converted into U.S. dollars.
Disposition
of Common Shares
Subject
to the discussion below regarding PFIC’s, gain or loss, if any, realized by a
U.S. Holder on the sale or other disposition of our common shares (including,
without limitation, a complete redemption of our common shares) generally will
be subject to United States Federal income taxation as capital gain or loss in
an amount equal to the difference between the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis
in our common shares and the amount realized on the disposition. Net capital
gain (i.e., capital gain in excess of capital loss) recognized by a
non-corporate U.S. Holder (including an individual) upon a sale or other
disposition of our common shares that have been held for more than one year will
generally be subject to a maximum United States federal income tax rate of 15%
subject to the PFIC rules below. Deductions for capital losses are
subject to certain limitations. If the U.S. Holder receives Canadian
dollars on the sale or disposition, it will have a tax basis in such dollars
equal to the U.S. dollar value. Generally, any gain or loss realized
on a subsequent disposition of the Canadian dollars will be U.S. source ordinary
income or loss.
U.S.
“Anti-Deferral” Rules
Passive Foreign Investment
Company (“PFIC”) Regime
. If we, or a non-U.S. entity directly
or indirectly owned by us (“Related Entity”), has 75% or more of its gross
income as “passive” income, or if the average value during a taxable year of
ours or the Related Entity’s “passive assets” (generally, assets that generate
passive income) is 50% or more of the average value of all assets held by us or
the Related Entity, then the United States PFIC rules may apply to U.S.
Holders. If we or a Related Entity is classified as a PFIC, a U.S.
Holder will be subject to increased tax liability in respect of gain recognized
on the sale of his, her or its common shares or upon the receipt of certain
distributions, unless such person makes a “qualified electing fund” election to
be taxed currently on its
pro
rata
portion of our income and gain, whether or not such income or gain
is distributed in the form of dividends or otherwise, and we provide certain
annual statements which include the information necessary to determine
inclusions and assure compliance with the PFIC rules. As another
alternative to the foregoing rules, a U.S. Holder may make a mark-to-market
election to include in income each year as ordinary income an amount equal to
the increase in value of its common shares for that year or to claim a deduction
for any decrease in value (but only to the extent of previous mark-to-market
gains). We or a related entity can give no assurance as to its status
as a PFIC for the current or any future year. U.S. Holders should
consult their own tax advisors with respect to the PFIC issue and its
applicability to their particular tax situation.
Controlled Foreign
Corporation Regime (“CFC”)
. If a U.S. Holder (or person
defined as a U.S. persons under Section 7701(aX301 of the Code) owns 10% or more
of the total combined voting power of all classes of our stock (, a “U. S.
Shareholder”) and U.S. Shareholders own more than 50% of the vote or value of
our Company, we would be a “controlled foreign corporation”.. This
classification would result in many complex consequences, including the required
inclusion into income by such U. S. Shareholders of their pro rata shares of
“Subpart F income” of our Company (as defined by the Code) and our earnings
invested in “US property” (as defined by the Code). In addition,
under Section 1248 of the Code, gain from the sale or exchange of our common
shares by a US person who is or was a U. S. Shareholder at any time during the
five year period before the sale or exchange may be treated as ordinary income
to the extent of earnings and profits of ours attributable to the stock sold or
exchanged. It is not clear the CFC regime would apply to the U.S.
Holders of our common shares, and is outside the scope of this
discussion.
Foreign
Tax Credit
A U.S.
Holder who pays (or has withheld from distributions) Canadian income tax with
respect to us may be entitled to either a deduction or a tax credit for such
foreign tax paid or withheld, at the option of the U.S.
Holder. Generally, it will be more advantageous to claim a credit
because a credit reduces United States federal income tax on a dollar-for-dollar
basis, while a deduction merely reduces the taxpayer’s income subject to
tax. This election is made on a year-by-year basis and generally
applies to all foreign taxes paid by (or withheld from) the U.S. Holder during
that year.
There are
significant and complex limitations which apply to the credit, among which is
the general limitation that the credit cannot exceed the proportionate share of
the U.S. Holder’s United States income tax liability that the U.S. Holder’s
foreign source income bears to its worldwide taxable income. This
limitation is designed to prevent foreign tax credits from offsetting United
States source income. In determining this limitation, the various
items of income and deduction must be classified into foreign and domestic
sources. Complex rules govern this classification
process.
In
addition, this limitation is calculated separately with respect to specific
“baskets” of income such as passive income, high withholding tax interest,
financial services income, shipping income, and certain other classifications of
income. Foreign taxes assigned to a particular class of income
generally cannot offset United States tax on income assigned to another
class. Under the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the “Act”), this
basket limitation will be modified significantly after 2006.
Unused
foreign tax credits can generally be carried back one year and carried forward
ten years. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors
concerning the ability to utilize foreign tax credits, especially in light of
the changes made by the Act.
Backup
Withholding
Payment
of dividends and sales proceeds that are made within the United States or
through certain U.S.-related financial intermediaries generally are subject to
information reporting requirement and to backup withholding unless the US Holder
(i) is a corporation or other exempt recipient or (ii) in the case of backup
withholding, provides a correct taxpayer identification number and certifies
that no loss of exemption from backup withholding has occurred
The
amount of any backup withholding from a payment to a US Holder will be allowed
as a credit against the US Federal income tax liability of the US Holder and may
entitle the US Holder to a refund, provided that the required information is
furnished to the IRS.

ITEM
11 QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE
DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market
risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position, results
of operations, or cash flows due to adverse changes in financial market prices,
including interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange rate risk, commodity
price risk, and other relevant market or price risks. We do not have activities
related to derivative financial instruments or derivative commodity instruments.
We hold equity securities which have been written down to $1 on our consolidated
balance sheet. Our primary risk relates to commodities price
risk.
The oil
and gas industry is exposed to a variety of risks including the uncertainty of
finding and recovering new economic reserves, the performance of hydrocarbon
reservoirs, securing markets for production, commodity prices, interest rate
fluctuations, potential damage to or malfunction of equipment and changes to
income tax, royalty, environmental or other governmental
regulations.
We
mitigate these risks to the extent we are able by:
|
•utilizing
competent, professional consultants as support teams to company
staff.
|
|
•performing
careful and thorough geophysical, geological and engineering analyses of
each prospect.
|
|
•focusing
on a limited number of core
properties.
|
Market
risk is the possibility that a change in the prices for natural gas, natural gas
liquids, condensate and oil, foreign currency exchange rates, or interest rates
will cause the value of a financial instrument to decrease or become more costly
to settle.
We are
exposed to commodity price risks, credit risk and foreign currency exchange rate
risks.
Commodity
Price Risk
Our
financial condition, results of operations and capital resources are dependent
upon the prevailing market prices of oil and natural gas. These commodity prices
are subject to wide fluctuations and market uncertainties due to a variety of
factors that are beyond our control. Factors influencing oil and natural gas
prices include the level of global demand for crude oil, the foreign supply of
oil and natural gas, the establishment of and compliance with production quotas
by oil exporting countries, weather conditions which determine the demand for
natural gas, the price and availability of alternative fuels and overall
economic conditions. It is impossible to predict future oil and natural gas
prices with any degree of certainty. Sustained weakness in oil and natural gas
prices may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations,
and may also reduce the amount of oil and natural gas reserves that we can
produce economically. Any reduction in our oil and natural gas reserves,
including reductions due to price fluctuations, can have an adverse affect on
our ability to obtain capital for our development activities. Similarly, any
improvements in oil and natural gas prices can have a favorable impact on our
financial condition, results of operations and capital resources. If natural gas
prices were to change by $0.50 per mcf, the impact on our earnings and cash flow
would be approximately $33.
Credit
Risk
In
addition to market risk, our financial instruments involve, to varying degrees,
risk associated with trade credit and risk associated with properties as well as
credit risk related to our customers and trade payables. All of our accounts
receivable are with customers or joint venture partners and are subject to
normal industry credit risk.
We do not
require collateral or other security to support financial instruments nor do we
provide collateral or security to counterparties. Currently, we do not expect
non-performance by any counterparty. However, there can be no assurance that
performance will occur.

Eugenic
Corp.
Notes
to Revised Consolidated Financial Statements
For the
three months ended November 30, 2008
(Prepared
by Management)
(Unaudited)
The
Company's business focus consists of acquiring, exploring and developing oil and
gas interests. The recoverability of the amount shown for these properties is
dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable reserves, the ability
of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete exploration and
development, and future profitable production or proceeds from disposition of
such property.
In
addition the Company holds a 0.3% net smelter return royalty on 8 mining claim
blocks located in Red Lake, Ontario which is carried on the consolidated balance
sheets at nil.
These
unaudited revised interim consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the Company’s Audited Revised Consolidated Financial Statements
and notes thereto for the year ended August 31, 2008 and 2007 and notes thereto
stated in Canadian dollars. The results herein have been prepared in accordance
with Canadian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”).
Going
Concern
These
unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a
going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and the payment
of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. At present, the Company does
not have sufficient resources to fund its current working capital requirements.
The Company has planned to obtain additional financing by way of debt or the
issuance of common shares or some other means to service its current working
capital requirements, any additional or unforeseen obligations or to implement
any future opportunities. Should the Company be unable to continue as a going
concern, it may be unable to realize the carrying value of its assets and to
meet its liabilities as they become due. These consolidated financial statements
do not include any adjustments for this uncertainty.
The
Company has accumulated losses and working capital and cash flows from
operations are negative which raises doubt as to the validity of the going
concern assumption. As at November 30, 2008, the Company had a working capital
deficiency of $100,206 and an accumulated deficit of $(706,284). Management of
the Company does not have sufficient funds to meet its liabilities for the
ensuing twelve months as they fall due. In assessing whether the going concern
assumption is appropriate, management takes into account all available
information about the future, which is at least, but not limited to, twelve
months from the end of the reporting period. The Company's ability to continue
operations and fund its liabilities is dependent on management's ability to
secure additional financing. Management is actively pursuing such additional
sources of financing, and while it has been successful in doing so in the past,
there can be no assurance it will be able to do so in the future. Management is
aware, in making its assessment, of material uncertainties related to events or
conditions that may cast significant doubt upon the entity's ability to continue
as a going concern. Accordingly, they do not give effect to adjustments that
would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern
and therefore to realize its assets and liquidate its liabilities and
commitments in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different
from those in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Significant
Accounting Policies
|
Principles
of Consolidation
The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Eugenic Corp.
("Eugenic"), the legal parent, together with its wholly-owned subsidiary,
1406768 Ontario Ltd ("1406768"). All material inter-company transactions have
been eliminated.
Marketable
Securities
At each
financial reporting period, the Company estimates the fair value of investments
which are held-for-trading, based on quoted closing bid prices at the
consolidated balance sheet dates or the closing bid price on the last day the
security traded if there were no trades at the consolidated balance sheet dates
and such valuations are reflected in the consolidated financial statements. The
resulting values for unlisted securities whether of public or private issuers,
may not be reflective of the proceeds that could be realized by the Company upon
their disposition. The fair value of the securities at three months ended
November 30, 2008 was $1 (August 31, 2008 - $1).
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
The
Company classified cash, redeemable investment deposits, and deposits with
original maturities less than or equal to three months as cash and cash
equivalents.
Oil
and Gas Interests
The
Company follows the successful efforts method of accounting for its oil and gas
interest. Under this method, costs related to the acquisition,
exploration, and development of oil and gas interests are capitalized. The
Company carries as an asset, exploratory well costs if a) the well found a
sufficient quantity of reserves to justify its completion as a producing well
and b) the Company is making sufficient progress assessing the reserves and the
economic and operating viability of the project. If a property is not productive
or commercially viable, its costs are written off to
operations. Impairment of non-producing properties is assessed based
on management's expectations of the properties.
Costs
capitalized, together with the costs of production equipment, are depleted on
the unit-of-production method based on the estimated proved
reserves.
Proved
oil and gas properties held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment
whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be
recoverable. Impairments are measured by the amount by which the asset’s
carrying value exceeds its fair value and is included in the determination of
net income for the year.
Revenue
Recognition
Revenues
associated with the sale of crude oil and natural gas are recorded when the
title passes to the customer. The customer has assumed the risks and rewards of
ownership, prices are fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably
assured.
The
Company does not enter into ongoing arrangements whereby it is required to
repurchase its products, nor does the Company provide the customer with a right
of return.
Royalties
As is
normal to the industry, the Company's future production is subject to crown
royalties. These amounts are reported net of related tax
credits.
Environmental and Site
Restoration
Costs
A
provision for environmental and site restoration costs is made when restoration
requirements are established and costs can be reasonably estimated. The accrual
is based on management's best estimate of the present value of the expected cash
flows. Site restoration costs increase the carrying amount of the oil and gas
properties and are amortized on the same basis as the properties.
Foreign
Currencies
Assets
and liabilities denominated in currencies other than Canadian dollars are
translated at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenue and
expense items are translated at the average rates of exchange for the year.
Exchange gains and losses are included in the determination of net income for
the year.
Financial
Instruments
The
Company's financial instruments consist of certain instruments with short term
maturities. It is management's opinion that the Company is not
exposed to any significant interest rate or credit risks arising from these
financial instruments. The fair value of short term financial
instruments approximates the carrying value. All of the Company's
cash is held at one major financial institution.
Accounting
Estimates
The
preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with Canadian
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and the
disclosures of revenues and expenses for the reported year. Actual
results may differ from those estimates.
The
amounts recorded for depletion and amortization of oil and gas properties and
the valuation of these properties, are based on estimates of proved and probable
reserves, production rates, oil and gas prices, future costs and other relevant
assumptions. The effect on the consolidated financial statements of
changes in estimates in future periods could be significant.
Income
Taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability
method. Under this method, future income tax assets and liabilities
are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences
between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and
available loss carry forwards and are measured using the substantively enacted
tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to
be reversed. A valuation allowance is established to reduce tax
assets if it is more likely than not that all or some portions of such tax
assets will not be realized.
Non-Monetary
Transactions
Transactions
in which shares or other non-cash consideration are exchanged for assets or
services are measured at the fair value of the assets or services involved in
accordance with Section 3830 (“Non-monetary Transactions”) of the Canadian
Institute of Chartered Accountants Handbook (“CICA Handbook”).
Stock-Based
Compensation
The
Company has a stock option plan. The fair value method of accounting is used to
account for stock options granted to directors, officers and employees whereby
the weighted average fair value of options granted is recorded as a compensation
expense in the consolidated financial statements. Compensation expense is based
on the estimated fair value at the time of the grant and recognized over the
vesting period of the option. Upon exercise of the options, the amount of the
consideration paid together with the amount previously recorded in contributed
surplus is recorded as an increase in share capital.
Loss
Per Share
Basic
loss per share is calculated by dividing the loss for the year by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted loss per
share is computed using the treasury stock method. Under this method, the
diluted weighted average number of shares is calculated assuming the proceeds
that arise from the exercise of stock options and other dilutive instruments are
used to repurchase the Company’s shares at their weighted average market price
for the period

Change
in Accounting Policy and Future Accounting
Changes
|
During
2007, the Company adopted the revised CICA Section 1506, “Accounting Changes”,
which provides expanded disclosures for changes in accounting policies,
accounting estimates and corrections of errors. Under the new standard,
accounting changes should be applied retrospectively unless otherwise permitted
or where impracticable to determine. As well, voluntary changes in accounting
policy are made only when required by a primary source of GAAP or when the
change results in more relevant and reliable information. The impact that the
adoption of Section 1506 will have on the Company’s results of operations and
financial condition will depend on the nature of future accounting
changes.
(b)
Comprehensive Income (Loss) and Deficit
During
2007, the Company adopted the CICA Section 1530, “Comprehensive Income”. Under
the new standards, a new statement, the Statement of Comprehensive Income
(Loss), has been introduced that will provide for certain gains and losses
arising from changes in fair value, to be temporarily recorded outside the
income statement. Upon adoption of Section 1530, the Company incorporated the
new required Statement of Comprehensive Loss by creating “Consolidated Statement
of Loss, Comprehensive Loss, and Deficit”. The application of this revised
standard did not result in comprehensive loss being different from net loss for
the periods presented. Should the Company recognize any other comprehensive loss
in the future, the cumulative changes in other comprehensive loss would be
recognized in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss, which would be presented as
a new category within shareholders’ deficiency on the consolidated balance
sheets.
(c)
Financial Instruments
During
2007, the Company adopted Section 3855, “Financial Instruments – Recognition and
Measurement”, and Section 3861 “Financial Instruments – Disclosure and
Presentation”. All financial instruments, including derivatives, are to be
included in the Company’s Balance Sheet and measured, in most cases, at fair
value upon initial recognition. Measurement in subsequent periods depends on
whether the financial instrument has been classified as held-for-trading,
available-for-sale, held-to-maturity, loans or receivables, or other financial
liabilities. Financial assets and financial liabilities held-for trading are
measured at fair value with changes in those fair values recognized in net
earnings. Financial assets held-to-maturity, loans and receivables, and other
financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective
interest method of amortization. Investments in equity instruments classified as
available-for-sale that do not have a quoted market price in an active market
are measured at the lower of cost and the carrying value. The financial
instruments recognized on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets are deemed
to approximate their estimated fair values, therefore no further adjustments
were required upon adoption of the new section. The Company has
designated its cash as held-for-trading which is measured at fair value and its
marketable securities have been designated as available-for-sale. All other
financial assets were classified as loans or receivables. All financial
liabilities were classified as other liabilities.
(d)
Hedges
During
fiscal 2008 the Company adopted CICA Section 3865, “Hedges” which specifies
circumstances under which hedge accounting is permissible and how hedge
accounting may be performed. The Company currently does not have any
hedges.
(e)
Financial Instruments – Disclosures and Presentation
During
fiscal 2008, the Company adopted CICA Section 3862, “Financial Instruments –
Disclosures” and Section 3863, “Financial Instruments–Presentation”, which will
replace Section 3861, “Financial Instruments – Disclosure and Presentation”.
These new sections 3862 (on disclosures) and 3863 (on presentation) replace
Section 3861, revising and enhancing its disclosure requirements, and carrying
forward unchanged its presentation requirements. Section 3862 complements the
principles recognizing measuring and presenting financial assets and financial
liabilities in Financial Instruments. Section 3863 deals with the classification
of financial instruments, from the perspective of the issuer, between
liabilities and equity, the classification of related interest, dividends,
losses and gains, and the circumstances in which financial assets and financial
liabilities are offset (see Note 11).
During
fiscal 2008, the Company adopted CICA 1535, “Capital Disclosures”. This new
pronouncement establishes standards for disclosing information about an entity’s
capital and how it is managed. Section 1535 also requires the disclosure of any
externally-imposed capital requirements, whether the entity has complied with
them, and if not, the consequences (see Note 11).
(g)
Inventories
During
fiscal 2008 the Company adopted CICA Section 3031, “Inventories”. This new
standard did not have an impact on the Company’s financial
statements.
(h)
Future Accounting Changes
The CICA
issued a new accounting standard, Section 3064, “Goodwill and Intangible
Assets”. This section replaces Section 3062, “Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets” and Section 3450, “Research and Development Costs”. Various changes have
made to other sections of the CICA Handbook for consistency purposes. Section
3064 establishes standards for the recognition, measurement, presentation and
disclosure of goodwill subsequent to its initial recognition and of intangible
assets by profit-oriented enterprises. Standards concerning goodwill are
unchanged from the standards included in the previous Section 3062. The new
section will be applicable to financial statements relating to fiscal years
beginning on or after October 1, 2008. Accordingly, the Company will adopt the
new standards for its fiscal year beginning September 1, 2009. The Company is
currently assessing the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on
its financial statements.
The CICA
has amended Section 1400, “General Standard of Financial Statement Presentation”
which is effective for annual and interim financial periods beginning on or
after October 1, 2008 to include requirements to assess and disclose the
Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The adoption of this new
section is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s financial
statements.
In 2006,
the Canadian Accounting Standards Board (“AcSB”) published a new strategic plan
that will significantly affect financial reporting requirements for Canadian
companies. The AcSB strategic plan outlines the convergence of Canadian GAAP
with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) over an expected
five year transitional period. In February 2008 the AcSB announced that 2011 is
the changeover date for publicly-listed companies to use IFRS, replacing
Canada’s own GAAP. The date is for interim and annual financial statements
relating to fiscal years beginning on or after August 1, 2011. The transition
fate of August 1, 2011 will require the restatement for comparative purposes of
amounts reported by the Company for the year ended August 31, 2011. While the
Company has begun assessing the adoption of IFRS for 2011, the financial
reporting of the transition to IFRS cannot be reasonably estimated at this
time.
The
Company’s only segment is oil and gas exploration and production. All reportable
segments are located in Canada.

Segmented
Information
|
The
Company's only segment is oil and gas exploration and production. All
reportable segments are located in Canada.
12.
|
Seasonality
and Trend Information
|
The
Company’s oil and gas operations are not a seasonal business but increased
consumer demand or changes supply in certain months of the year can influence
the price of produced hydrocarbons, depending the circumstances. Production from
the Company’s oil and gas interests is the primary detriment for the volume of
sales during the year.

Financial
Instruments and Risk Factors
|
The
Company is exposed to financial risk, in a range of financial instruments
including cash, other receivables and accounts payable and advances payable. The
Company manages its exposure to financial risks by operating in a manner that
minimizes its exposure to the extent practical. The main financial risks
affecting the Company are discussed below:
(a) Credit
Risk
Credit
risk arises when a failure by counter parties to discharge their obligations
could reduce the amount of future cash inflows from financial assets on hand at
the balance sheet date. The Company considers this risk to be
limited.
(b) Foreign
Exchange Risk
The
prices received by the Company for the production of natural gas and natural gas
liquids are primarily determined in reference to U.S. dollars but are settled
with the Company in Canadian dollars. The Company’s cash flow for commodity
sales will therefore be impacted by fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. The
Company considers this risk to be limited.
(c) Interest
Rate Risk
Interest
rate risk refers to the risk that the value of a financial instrument or cash
flows associated with the instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market
interest rates. The Company is not exposed to interest rate risk.
(d) Liquidity
Risk
Liquidity
risk includes the risk that, as a result of our operational liquidity
requirements:
·
The
Company will not have sufficient funds to settle transaction on the due
date;
·
The
Company will be forced to sell financial assets at a value which is less than
what they are worth; or
·
The
Company may be unable to settle or recover a financial asset at
all. The Company considers this risk to be
limited.
(e) Fair
Value
The
carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, other
receivables and accounts payable and advances payable approximate their fair
value due to the short-term maturities of these financial
instruments.
(f) Commodity
Price Risk
The
ability of the Company to maintain its revenue is partially related to the
market price of natural gas. The Company considers this risk to be
limited.
Sensitivity
Analysis
(a) The
Company has designated its cash and cash equivalents as held-for-trading which
is measured at fair value. As of November 30, 2008, the carrying and fair value
amounts of the Company’s financial instruments are approximately equivalent.
Other receivables are classified for accounting purposes as loans and
receivables, which are measured at amortized cost which equals fair market
value. Accounts payable and advances payable are classified for accounting
purposes as other financial liabilities, which are measured at amortized cost
which also equals fair market value.
(b) Based
on management's knowledge and experience of the financial markets, the Company
believes that the movements in interest rates that are reasonably possible over
the next twelve month period will not have a significant impact on the
Company.
(b) The
Company believes that movement in commodity prices that are reasonably possible
over the next twelve month period will not have a significant impact on the
Company.
The
Company’s objectives when managing capital is to safeguard the entity’s ability
to continue as a going concern. The Company sets the amount of capital in
proportion to risk. The Company manages the capital structure and makes
adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk
characteristics of any underlying assets. The board of directors does not
establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather
relies on the expertise of the Company's management to sustain future
development of the business.
Currently,
the Company does not have any operational cash requirements other than
administrative expenditures. The Company’s revenue producing properties are
fully developed and there are no further outlays or expenses projected to
develop these properties at this time.
Management
reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that
this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is
reasonable.
There
were no changes in the Company’s capital management during the period ended
November 30, 2008.
The
Company is not subjected to any externally imposed capital
requirements.

AUDITORS’
REPORT
To the
Shareholders of
Eugenic
Corp.
We have
audited the revised consolidated balance sheets of Eugenic Corp. (the “Company”)
as at August 31, 2008 and 2007 and the related revised consolidated statements
of loss, comprehensive loss and deficit, and cash flows for the years ended
August 31, 2008 and 2007. These consolidated financial statements are
the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our
audit.
We
conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing
standards and with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit
to obtain reasonable assurance whether the consolidated financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
In our
opinion, these revised consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of the Company as at August 31, 2008
and 2007 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then
ended, in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles
which differ in certain respects from generally accepted accounting principles
in the United States (refer to note 10).
The
consolidated statements of loss, comprehensive loss and deficit and cash flows
for the year ended August 31, 2006 were audited by another auditor who expressed
on opinion without reservation on those statements in their report dated
November 30, 2006.
Our
previous report dated November 25, 2008 has been withdrawn and the financial
statements have been revised as disclosed in note 14.

Comments
by Auditors for U.S. Readers
on
Canada - U.S. Reporting Difference
In the
United States, reporting standards for auditors require the addition of an
explanatory paragraph (following the opinion paragraph) when the consolidated
financial statements are affected by conditions and events that cast substantial
doubt on the Corporation’s ability to continue as a going concern, such as those
described in the summary of significant accounting policies. Our
report to the shareholders dated November 25, 2008, except for notes 9, 14 and
15, which are as of April 9, 2009, is expressed in accordance with Canadian
reporting standards, which do not permit a reference to such events and
conditions in the auditors’ report when these are adequately disclosed in the
revised consolidated financial statements.

Eugenic
Corp.
Notes
to Revised Consolidated Financial Statements
(Expressed
in Canadian Dollars)
August
31, 2008 and 2007
The
Company's business focus consists of acquiring, exploring and developing oil and
gas interests. The recoverability of the amount shown for these properties is
dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable reserves, the ability
of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete exploration and
development, and future profitable production or proceeds from disposition of
such property.
In
addition the Company holds a 0.3% net smelter return royalty on 8 mining claim
blocks located in Red Lake, Ontario which is carried on the consolidated balance
sheets at nil.
These
consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis
which contemplates the realization of assets and the payment of liabilities in
the ordinary course of business. At present, the Company does not have
sufficient resources to fund its current working capital requirements. The
Company has planned to obtain additional financing by way of debt or the
issuance of common shares or some other means to service its current working
capital requirements, any additional or unforeseen obligations or to implement
any future opportunities. Should the Company be unable to continue as a going
concern, it may be unable to realize the carrying value of its assets and to
meet its liabilities as they become due. These consolidated financial statements
do not include any adjustments for this uncertainty.
The
Company has accumulated losses and working capital and cash flows from
operations are negative which raises doubt as to the validity of the going
concern assumption. As at August 31, 2008, the Company had a working capital
deficiency of $93,634 and an accumulated deficit of $(699,665). Management of
the Company does not have sufficient funds to meet its liabilities for the
ensuing twelve months as they fall due. In assessing whether the going concern
assumption is appropriate, management takes into account all available
information about the future, which is at least, but not limited to, twelve
months from the end of the reporting period. The Company's ability to continue
operations and fund its liabilities is dependent on management's ability to
secure additional financing. Management is actively pursuing such additional
sources of financing, and while it has been successful in doing so in the past,
there can be no assurance it will be able to do so in the future. Management is
aware, in making its assessment, of material uncertainties related to events or
conditions that may cast significant doubt upon the entity's ability to continue
as a going concern. Accordingly, they do not give effect to adjustments that
would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern
and therefore to realize its assets and liquidate its liabilities and
commitments in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different
from those in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Principles
of Consolidation
The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Eugenic Corp.
("Eugenic"), the legal parent, together with its wholly-owned subsidiary,
1406768 Ontario Ltd ("1406768"). All material inter-company transactions have
been eliminated.
At each
financial reporting period, the Company estimates the fair value of investments
which are held-for-trading, based on quoted closing bid prices at the
consolidated balance sheet dates or the closing bid price on the last day the
security traded if there were no trades at the consolidated balance sheet dates
and such valuations are reflected in the consolidated financial statements. The
resulting values for unlisted securities whether of public or private issuers,
may not be reflective of the proceeds that could be realized by the Company upon
their disposition. The fair value of the securities at year-end was $1 (2007 -
$1).

Accounting
Policies (cont’d)

Oil
and Gas Interests
The
Company follows the successful efforts method of accounting for its oil and gas
interest. Under this method, costs related to the acquisition,
exploration, and development of oil and gas interests are capitalized. The
Company carries as an asset, exploratory well costs if a) the well found a
sufficient quantity of reserves to justify its completion as a producing well
and b) the Company is making sufficient progress assessing the reserves and the
economic and operating viability of the project. If a property is not productive
or commercially viable, its costs are written off to
operations. Impairment of non-producing properties is assessed based
on management's expectations of the properties.
Costs
capitalized, together with the costs of production equipment, are depleted on
the unit-of-production method based on the estimated proved
reserves.
Proved
oil and gas properties held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment
whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be
recoverable. Impairments are measured by the amount by which the asset’s
carrying value exceeds its fair value and is included in the determination of
net income for the year.
Revenue
Recognition
Revenues
associated with the sale of crude oil and natural gas are recorded when the
title passes to the customer. The customer has assumed the risks and rewards of
ownership, prices are fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably
assured.
The
Company does not enter into ongoing arrangements whereby it is required to
repurchase its products, nor does the Company provide the customer with a right
of return.
Royalties
As is
normal to the industry, the Company's future production is subject to crown
royalties. These amounts are reported net of related tax
credits.
Environmental and Site
Restoration
Costs
A
provision for environmental and site restoration costs is made when restoration
requirements are established and costs can be reasonably estimated. The accrual
is based on management's best estimate of the present value of the expected cash
flows. Site restoration costs increase the carrying amount of the oil and gas
properties and are amortized on the same basis as the properties.
Foreign
Currencies
Assets
and liabilities denominated in currencies other than Canadian dollars are
translated at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenue and
expense items are translated at the average rates of exchange for the year.
Exchange gains and losses are included in the determination of net income for
the year.
Financial
Instruments
The
Company's financial instruments consist of certain instruments with short term
maturities. It is management's opinion that the Company is not
exposed to any significant interest rate or credit risks arising from these
financial instruments. The fair value of short term financial
instruments approximates the carrying value. All of the Company's
cash is held at one major financial institution.

Significant
Accounting
Policies (cont’d)
|
The
preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with Canadian
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and the
disclosures of revenues and expenses for the reported year. Actual
results may differ from those estimates.
The
amounts recorded for depletion and amortization of oil and gas properties and
the valuation of these properties, are based on estimates of proved and probable
reserves, production rates, oil and gas prices, future costs and other relevant
assumptions. The effect on the consolidated financial statements of
changes in estimates in future periods could be significant.
Income
Taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability
method. Under this method, future income tax assets and liabilities
are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences
between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and
available loss carry forwards and are measured using the substantively enacted
tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to
be reversed. A valuation allowance is established to reduce tax
assets if it is more likely than not that all or some portions of such tax
assets will not be realized.
Non-Monetary
Transactions
Transactions
in which shares or other non-cash consideration are exchanged for assets or
services are measured at the fair value of the assets or services involved in
accordance with Section 3830 (“Non-monetary Transactions”) of the Canadian
Institute of Chartered Accountants Handbook (“CICA
Handbook”).
The
Company has a stock option plan. The fair value method of accounting is used to
account for stock options granted to directors, officers and employees whereby
the weighted average fair value of options granted is recorded as a compensation
expense in the consolidated financial statements. Compensation expense is based
on the estimated fair value at the time of the grant and recognized over the
vesting period of the option. Upon exercise of the options, the amount of the
consideration paid together with the amount previously recorded in contributed
surplus is recorded as an increase in share capital.
Basic
loss per share is calculated by dividing the loss for the year by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted loss per
share is computed using the treasury stock method. Under this method, the
diluted weighted average number of shares is calculated assuming the proceeds
that arise from the exercise of stock options and other dilutive instruments are
used to repurchase the Company’s shares at their weighted average market price
for the period

Change
in Accounting Policy and Future Accounting
Changes
|
During
2007, the Company adopted the revised CICA Section 1506, “Accounting Changes”,
which provides expanded disclosures for changes in accounting policies,
accounting estimates and corrections of errors. Under the new standard,
accounting changes should be applied retrospectively unless otherwise permitted
or where impracticable to determine. As well, voluntary changes in accounting
policy are made only when required by a primary source of GAAP or when the
change results in more relevant and reliable information. The impact that the
adoption of Section 1506 will have on the Company’s results of operations and
financial condition will depend on the nature of future accounting
changes.

(b)
Comprehensive Income (Loss) and Deficit
During
2007, the Company adopted the CICA Section 1530, “Comprehensive Income”. Under
the new standards, a new statement, the Statement of Comprehensive Income
(Loss), has been introduced that will provide for certain gains and losses
arising from changes in fair value, to be temporarily recorded outside the
income statement. Upon adoption of Section 1530, the Company incorporated the
new required Statement of Comprehensive Loss by
creating “Consolidated Statement of Loss, Comprehensive Loss, and
Deficit”. The application of this revised standard did not result in
comprehensive loss being different from net loss for the periods presented.
Should the Company recognize any other comprehensive loss in the future, the
cumulative changes in other comprehensive loss would be recognized in
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss, which would be presented as a new category
within shareholders’ deficiency on the consolidated balance sheets.
(c)
Financial Instruments
During
2007, the Company adopted Section 3855, “Financial Instruments – Recognition and
Measurement”, and Section 3861 “Financial Instruments – Disclosure and
Presentation”. All financial instruments, including derivatives, are to be
included in the Company’s Balance Sheet and measured, in most cases, at fair
value upon initial recognition. Measurement in subsequent periods depends on
whether the financial instrument has been classified as held-for-trading,
available-for-sale, held-to-maturity, loans or receivables, or other financial
liabilities. Financial assets and financial liabilities held-for trading are
measured at fair value with changes in those fair values recognized in net
earnings. Financial assets held-to-maturity, loans and receivables, and other
financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective
interest method of amortization. Investments in equity instruments classified as
available-for-sale that do not have a quoted market price in an active market
are measured at the lower of cost and the carrying value. The financial
instruments recognized on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets are deemed
to approximate their estimated fair values, therefore no further adjustments
were required upon adoption of the new section. The Company has
designated its cash as held-for-trading which is measured at fair value and its
marketable securities have been designated as available-for-sale. All other
financial assets were classified as loans or receivables. All financial
liabilities were classified as other liabilities.
(d)
Hedges
During
fiscal 2008 the Company adopted CICA Section 3865, “Hedges” which specifies
circumstances under which hedge accounting is permissible and how hedge
accounting may be performed. The Company currently does not have any
hedges.

(e)
Financial Instruments – Disclosures and Presentation
During
fiscal 2008, the Company adopted CICA Section 3862, “Financial Instruments –
Disclosures” and Section 3863, “Financial Instruments–Presentation”, which will
replace Section 3861, “Financial Instruments – Disclosure and Presentation”.
These new sections 3862 (on disclosures) and 3863 (on presentation) replace
Section 3861, revising and enhancing its disclosure requirements, and carrying
forward unchanged its presentation requirements. Section 3862 complements the
principles recognizing measuring and presenting financial assets and financial
liabilities in Financial Instruments. Section 3863 deals with the classification
of financial instruments, from the perspective of the issuer, between
liabilities and equity, the classification of related interest, dividends,
losses and gains, and the circumstances in which financial assets and financial
liabilities are offset (see Note 12).
(f)
Capital Disclosures
During
fiscal 2008, the Company adopted CICA 1535, “Capital Disclosures”. This new
pronouncement establishes standards for disclosing information about an entity’s
capital and how it is managed. Section 1535 also requires the disclosure of any
externally-imposed capital requirements, whether the entity has complied with
them, and if not, the consequences (see Note 13).
(g)
Inventories
During
fiscal 2008 the Company adopted CICA Section 3031, “Inventories”. This new
standard did not have an impact on the Company’s financial
statements.
(h)
Future Accounting Changes
The CICA
issued a new accounting standard, Section 3064, “Goodwill and Intangible
Assets”. This section replaces Section 3062, “Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets” and Section 3450, “Research and Development Costs”. Various changes have
made to other sections of the CICA Handbook for consistency purposes. Section
3064 establishes standards for the recognition, measurement, presentation and
disclosure of goodwill subsequent to its initial recognition and of intangible
assets by profit-oriented enterprises. Standards concerning goodwill are
unchanged from the standards included in the previous Section 3062. The new
section will be applicable to financial statements relating to fiscal years
beginning on or after October 1, 2008. Accordingly, the Company will adopt the
new standards for its fiscal year beginning September 1, 2009. The Company is
currently assessing the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on
its financial statements.
The CICA
has amended Section 1400, “General Standard of Financial Statement Presentation”
which is effective for annual and interim financial periods beginning on or
after October 1, 2008 to include requirements to assess and disclose the
Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The adoption of this new
section is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s financial
statements.

Future Accounting Changes (cont’d)
In 2006,
the Canadian Accounting Standards Board (“AcSB”) published a new strategic plan
that will significantly affect financial reporting requirements for Canadian
companies. The AcSB strategic plan outlines the convergence of Canadian GAAP
with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) over an expected
five year transitional period. In February 2008 the AcSB announced that 2011 is
the changeover date for publicly-listed companies to use IFRS, replacing
Canada’s own GAAP. The date is for interim and annual financial statements
relating to fiscal years beginning on or after August 1, 2011. The transition
fate of August 1, 2011 will require the restatement for comparative purposes of
amounts reported by the Company for the year ended August 31, 2011. While the
Company has begun assessing the adoption of IFRS for 2011, the financial
reporting of the transition to IFRS cannot be reasonably estimated at this
time.

Reconciliation
to Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United
States
|
The
Company's accounting policies do not differ materially from accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States ("US GAAP") except for the
following:
Recently
Issued United States Accounting Standards:
In July
2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") has published FASB
Interpretation No. 48 ("FIN No.48), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,
to address the non-comparability in reporting tax assets and liabilities
resulting from a lack of specific guidance in FASB Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, on the
uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements.
FIN No. 48 will apply to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, with
earlier adoption permitted. The adoption of FIN 48 is not expected to have a
material effect on the Company's financial condition or results of
operations.
In
September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements." SFAS
No. 157 clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the
assumptions market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability and
establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to
develop those assumptions. Under the standard, fair value measurements would be
separately disclosed by level within the fair value hierarchy. SFAS No. 157 is
effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early
adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 157 to
materially impact its consolidated financial statements.
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined
Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans – an amendment of FASB Statements
No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)”. This statement requires employers to recognize the
overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other
than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its statement of
financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in
which the changes occur through comprehensive income of a business entity or
changes in unrestricted net assets of a not-for-profit organization. This
statement also requires an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of
the date of its year-end statement of financial position, with limited
exceptions. The provisions of SFAS No. 158 are effective for employers with
publicly traded equity securities as of the end of the fiscal year ending after
December 15, 2006. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a
material effect on the Company’s future reported financial position or results
of operations.

In
September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (Topic 1N), “Quantifying Misstatements in Current
Year Financial Statements” (“SAB No. 108”). SAB No.108 addresses how the effect
of prior year uncorrected misstatements should be considered when quantifying
misstatements in current year financial statements. SAB No. 108 requires SEC
registrants (i) to quantify misstatements using a combined approach which
considers both the balance sheet and income statement approaches; (ii) to
evaluate whether either approach results in quantifying an error that is
material in light of relevant quantitative and qualitative factors; and (iii) to
adjust their financial statements if the new combined approach results in a
conclusion that an error is material. SAB No. 108 addresses the mechanics of
correcting misstatements that include effects from prior years. It indicates
that the current year correction of a material error that includes prior year
effects may result in the need to correct prior year financial statements even
if the misstatement in the prior year of years is considered immaterial. Any
prior year financial statements found to be materially misstated in years
subsequent to the issuance of SAB No. 108 would be restated in accordance with
SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections”. Because the combined
approach represents a change in practice, the SEC staff will not require
registrants that followed an acceptable approach in the past to restate prior
years’ historical financial statements. Rather, these registrants can report the
cumulative effect of adopting the new approach as an adjustment to the current
year’s beginning balance of retained earnings. If the new approach is adopted in
a quarter other than the first quarter, financial statements for prior interim
periods within the year of adoption may need to be restated. SAB No. 108 is
effective for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006, which for the Company
would be its fiscal year beginning April 1, 2007. The implementation of SAB No.
108 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of
operations and financial condition.
In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 (“SFAS 159”) – the fair value option
for financial assets and liabilities including an amendment of SFAS 115. This
Statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and
certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial
reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in
reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently
without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. This statement is
expected to expand the use of fair value measurement objectives for accounting
for financial instruments. This statement is effective as of the beginning of an
entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007, and interim
periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted as of the
beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided
the entity also elects to apply the provisions of FASB Statement No. 157, “Fair
Value Measures”. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 159
on its consolidated financial statements.
There are
no material differences between the consolidated balance sheets prepared using
the Canadian GAAP and the U.S. GAAP.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160,
"Non-controlling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements-An Amendment of ARB No. 51" ("SFAS
160")
. SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for the
non-controlling interest in a subsidiary (previously referred to as minority
interests). SFAS 160 also requires that a retained non-controlling interest upon
the deconsolidation of a subsidiary be initially measured at its fair value.
Upon adoption of SFAS 160, the Company would be required to report any
non-controlling interests as a separate component of stockholders' equity. The
Company would also be required to present any net income allocable to non-
controlling interests and net income attributable to the stockholders of the
Company separately in its consolidated statements of operations. SFAS 160 is
effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2008.

In March
2008, the FASB issued FAS No. 161,
“Disclosure about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities”
(“FAS 161”). FAS 161 changes the
disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities by
requiring enhanced disclosures about how and why an entity uses derivatives
instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an
entity’s operating results, financial position, and cash flows. FAS 161 is
effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods
beginning after November 15, 2008. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is
currently reviewing the provisions of FAS 161. However, as the provisions of FAS
161 are only related to disclosure of derivative and hedging activities, the
Company does not believe the adoption of FAS 161 will have a material impact on
its consolidated operating results, financial position or cash
flows.
May 2008,
the FASB issued
SFAS No. 162,
The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("SFAS No.
162")
. The new standard is intended to improve financial reporting by
identifying a consistent framework, or hierarchy, for selecting accounting
principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are presented in
conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for
nongovernmental entities. SFAS No. 162 is effective 60 days following the
Securities and Exchange Commission's approval of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board Auditing amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present
Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The Company
is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of SFAS No. 162 but does not
expect adoption to have a material impact on results of operations, cash flows
or financial position.
In May
2008, the FASB issued
SFAS No.
163, Accounting for Finance Guarantee Insurance Contracts – an interpretation of
FASB Statement No. 60
.
The premium revenue
recognition approach for a financial guarantee insurance contract links premium
revenue recognition to the amount of insurance protection and the period in
which it is provided. For purposes of this statement, the amount of insurance
protection provided is assumed to be a function of the insured principal amount
outstanding, since the premium received requires the insurance enterprise to
stand ready to protect holders of an insured financial obligation from loss due
to default over the period of the insured financial obligation. This Statement
is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2008.

Financial
Instruments and Risk Factors
|
The
Company is exposed to financial risk, in a range of financial instruments
including cash, other receivables and accounts payable and advances payable. The
Company manages its exposure to financial risks by operating in a manner that
minimizes its exposure to the extent practical. The main financial risks
affecting the Company are discussed below:

Financial
Instruments and Risk
Factors (cont’d)
|
(e) Credit
Risk
Credit
risk arises when a failure by counter parties to discharge their obligations
could reduce the amount of future cash inflows from financial assets on hand at
the balance sheet date. The Company considers this risk to be
limited.
(f) Foreign
Exchange Risk
The
prices received by the Company for the production of natural gas and natural gas
liquids are primarily determined in reference to U.S. dollars but are settled
with the Company in Canadian dollars. The Company’s cash flow for commodity
sales will therefore be impacted by fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. The
Company considers this risk to be limited.
(g) Interest
Rate Risk
Interest
rate risk refers to the risk that the value of a financial instrument or cash
flows associated with the instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market
interest rates. The Company is not exposed to interest rate risk.
(h) Liquidity
Risk
Liquidity
risk includes the risk that, as a result of our operational liquidity
requirements:
|
|
The
Company will not have sufficient funds to settle transaction on the due
date;
|
|
·
|
The
Company will be forced to sell financial assets at a value which is less
than what they are worth;
or
|
|
·
|
The
Company may be unable to settle or recover a financial asset at
all. The Company considers this risk to be
limited.
|
(e) Fair
Value
The
carrying amounts of cash, marketable securities, other receivables and accounts
payable and advances payable approximate their fair value due to the short-term
maturities of these financial instruments.
(f) Commodity
Price Risk
The
ability of the Company to maintain its revenue is partially related to the
market price of natural gas. The Company considers this risk to be
limited.
Sensitivity
Analysis
(a) The
Company has designated its cash as held-for-trading which is measured at fair
value. As of August 31, 2008, the carrying and fair value amounts of the
Company’s financial instruments are approximately equivalent. Other receivables
are classified for accounting purposes as loans and receivables, which are
measured at amortized cost which equals fair market value. Accounts payable and
advances payable are classified for accounting purposes as other financial
liabilities, which are measured at amortized cost which also equals fair market
value.

(b) Based
on management's knowledge and experience of the financial markets, the Company
believes that the movements in interest rates that are reasonably possible over
the next twelve month period will not have a significant impact on the
Company.
(c) The
Company believes that movement in commodity prices that are reasonably possible
over the next twelve month period will not have a significant impact on the
Company,
The
Company’s objectives when managing capital is to safeguard the entity’s ability
to continue as a going concern. The Company sets the amount of capital in
proportion to risk. The Company manages the capital structure and makes
adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk
characteristics of any underlying assets. The board of directors does not
establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather
relies on the expertise of the Company's management to sustain future
development of the business.
Currently,
the Company does not have any operational cash requirements other than
administrative expenditures. The Company’s revenue producing properties are
fully developed and there are no further outlays or expenses projected to
develop these properties at this time.
Management
reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that
this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is
reasonable.
There
were no changes in the Company’s capital management during the year ended August
31, 2008.
The
Company is not subjected to any externally imposed capital
requirements.

|
Notes
to the Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial
Statements
|
For
the year ended August 31, 2008
|
(Expressed
in Canadian Dollars)
|
|
|
The
unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet at August 31, 2008, and the
unaudited consolidated statement of income (loss) and comprehensive income
(loss) for year ended August 31, 2008 (the “Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated
Financial Statements”) of Eugenic Corp. (“Eugenic or the Company”) have been
prepared by management following the acquisition of the issued and outstanding
common shares of 1354166 Alberta Ltd. (“1354166”). The Unaudited Pro Forma
Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared to reflect the Company’s
acquiring all of the outstanding common shares of 1354166.
The
accompanying Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements have been
prepared from information derived from the financial statements described below.
Management recommends the Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements
should be read in conjunction with such financial statements and notes
thereto.
|
a.
|
The
audited consolidated financial statements of Eugenic for the year ended
August 31, 2008.
|
|
b.
|
The
audited financial statements of 1354166 from Incorporation October 3, 2007
to August 31, 2008.
|
The
Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared by
management in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
Canada. The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet gives effect to the
transactions and assumptions described in the notes below as if they had
occurred at the date of the balance sheet, and the unaudited pro forma
consolidated statements of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) gives
effect to the transactions and assumptions described in the notes below as if
they had occurred at the beginning of the period.
The
Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements may not be indicative
either of the results that actually would have occurred had the events reflected
herein had taken place on the dates indicated, or of results which may be
obtained in the future.
Accounting
policies used in the preparation of the Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated
Financial Statements are in conformity with those disclosed in Eugenic’s audited
consolidated financial statements for the year ended August 31,
2008.
In the
opinion of management, the Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements
include all necessary adjustments for the fair presentation of the ongoing
entity.

Pro
Forma Assumptions and Adjustments
|
The
Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements give effect to the
following assumptions and adjustments:
On
February 27, 2009, Eugenic acquired the issued and outstanding shares of 1354166
for total consideration of 445,528 satisfied by the issuance of 8,910,564 units
of the Company at $0.05 per unit. Each unit consists of one common
share and one common share purchase warrant exercisable at $0.07 to purchase one
common share until February 27, 2014. Following the closing, the
Company paid to note holders of 1354166 the amount of$118,000 by cash payment.
Eugenic will account for the transaction using the purchase method of accounting
and as a result, the share capital and deficit of 1354166 are eliminated.
The primary assets of
1354166 include a 5.1975% working interest in a producing natural gas unit
located in Alberta, Canada, cash and current accounts receivable.
The fair
value of the transaction is approximately $445,528 paid through the issuance of
Eugenic units. For purposes of preparing the unaudited pro forma consolidated
balance sheet, a preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the fair values
of the assets and liabilities acquired is as follows:

price to the assets and liabilities of 1354166 will be finalized after all
actual results have been obtained and the final fair values of the assets and
liabilities have been determined, and accordingly, the above purchase price
equation may change. Transaction costs to be incurred by Eugenic are
estimated at $10,000.
(ii) Following
the closing, the Company paid to note holders of 1354166 the amount of $118,000

Pro
Forma Assumptions and Adjustments
|
The
Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements give effect to the
following assumptions and adjustments:
On
February 27, 2009, Eugenic acquired the issued and outstanding shares of 1354166
for total consideration of $445,528 satisfied by the issuance of 8,910,564 units
of the Company at $0.05 per unit. Each unit consists of one common
share and one common share purchase warrant exercisable at $0.07 to purchase one
common share until February 27, 2014. Following the closing, the
Company paid to note holders of 1354166 the amount of$118,000 by cash payment.
Eugenic will account for the transaction using the purchase method of accounting
and as a result, the share capital and deficit of 1354166 are eliminated.
The primary assets of
1354166 include a 5.1975% working interest in a producing natural gas unit
located in Alberta, Canada, cash and current accounts receivable.

The fair
value of the transaction is approximately $445,528 paid through the issuance of
Eugenic units. For purposes of preparing the unaudited pro forma consolidated
balance sheet, a preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the fair values
of the assets and liabilities acquired is as follows:

The above
purchase price allocation has been determined from information available to the
management of Eugenic and incorporated estimates. The allocation of the purchase
price to the assets and liabilities of 1354166 will be finalized after all
actual results have been obtained and the final fair values of the assets and
liabilities have been determined, and accordingly, the above purchase price
equation may change. Transaction costs to be incurred by Eugenic are
estimated at $10,000.
(ii) Upon
closing, the Company paid to creditors of 1354166 notes payable in the amount
of$118,000.

The
Company was incorporated on October 3, 2007 under the Business Corporations Act
(Alberta)
.The Company's
business focus consists of acquiring, exploring and developing oil and gas
interests. The recoverability of the amount shown for these properties is
dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable reserves, the ability
of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete exploration and
development, and future profitable production or proceeds from disposition of
such property.
2.
|
Significant
Accounting Policies
|
The
Company has adopted The Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants’ (“CICA”)
Handbook Section 1530, Comprehensive Income, Section 3861, Financial Instruments
– Disclosure and Presentation and Section 3865, Hedges. Section 3861
establishes standards for disclosure and presentation of financial assets,
financial liabilities and non-financial derivatives. As there are no
comprehensive income items, comprehensive income is equal to net
income. Also, the Company does not hold any derivative instruments
for hedging purposes. Accordingly, the effect of the adoption of
Sections 1530 and 3865 has been disclosed in the Company’s financial
statements.
Oil
and Gas Interests
The
Company follows the successful efforts method of accounting for its oil and gas
interest. Under this method, costs related to the acquisition,
exploration, and development of oil and gas interests are capitalized. The
Company carries as an asset, exploratory well costs if a) the well found a
sufficient quantity of reserves to justify its completion as a producing well
and b) the Company is making sufficient progress assessing the reserves and the
economic and operating viability of the project. If a property is not productive
or commercially viable, its costs are written off to
operations. Impairment of non-producing properties is assessed based
on management's expectations of the properties.
Costs
capitalized, together with the costs of production equipment, are depleted on
the unit-of-production method based on the estimated proved
reserves.
Proved
oil and gas properties held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment
whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be
recoverable. Impairments are measured by the amount by which the asset’s
carrying value exceeds its fair value and is included in the determination of
net income for the year.
The
Company has a 5.1975% interest in a natural gas unit in Alberta, Canada. The
Company’s interest is held in trust through a joint venture
partner.
Revenue
Recognition
Revenues
associated with the sale of crude oil and natural gas are recorded when the
title passes to the customer. The customer has assumed the risks and rewards of
ownership, prices are fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably
assured.
The
Company does not enter into ongoing arrangements whereby it is required to
repurchase its products, nor does the Company provide the customer with a right
of return.
Royalties
As is
normal to the industry, the Company's future production is subject to crown
royalties. These amounts are reported net of related tax
credits.
Environmental and Site
Restoration
Costs
A
provision for environmental and site restoration costs is made when restoration
requirements are established and costs can be reasonably estimated. The accrual
is based on management's best estimate of the present value of the expected cash
flows. Site restoration costs increase the carrying amount of the oil and gas
properties and are amortized on the same basis as the
properties.

Significant
Accounting
Policies (cont’d)
|
Asset
Retirement Obligations
The
Company recognizes an estimate of the liability associated with an asset
retirement obligation (“ARO”) in the financial statements at the time the
liability is incurred. The estimated fair value of the ARO is recorded as a
long-term liability with a corresponding increase in the carrying amount of the
related asset. The capitalized amount is depleted on a straight-line basis over
the estimated life of the asset. The liability amount is increased each
reporting period due to the passage of time and the amount of accretion to
operations in the period. The ARO can also increase or decrease due to changes
in the estimates of timing of cash flows or changes in the original estimated
undiscounted cost. Actual costs incurred upon settlement of the ARO are charged
against the ARO to the extent of the liability recorded.
Ceiling
Test
The
Company performs a ceiling test calculation in accordance with the Canadian
Institute of Chartered Accountants’ successful efforts method guidelines,
including an impairment test on undeveloped properties. The recovery of costs is
tested by comparing the carrying amount of the oil and natural gas assets to the
reserves report. If the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount, then
impairment would be recognized on the amount by which the carrying amount of the
assets exceeds the present value of expected cash flows using proved plus
probable reserves and expected future prices and costs. No write-down was
required for the period ended November 30, 2008.
Foreign
Currencies
Assets
and liabilities denominated in currencies other than Canadian dollars are
translated at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenue and
expense items are translated at the average rates of exchange for the year.
Exchange gains and losses are included in the determination of net income for
the year.
Financial
Instruments
The
Company's financial instruments consist of certain instruments with short term
maturities. It is management's opinion that the Company is not
exposed to any significant interest rate or credit risks arising from these
financial instruments. The fair value of short term financial
instruments approximates the carrying value. All of the Company's
cash is held at one major financial institution.
Accounting
Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with Canadian generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates
include the determination of environmental obligations, AROs, rates for
amortization, the impairment of oil and gas interest, determination of accrued
liabilities, valuation allowance of future tax assets and determination of the
variables used in the calculation of stock-based compensation. While management
believes the estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ from those
estimates and could impact future results of operations and cash
flows.
Income
Taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability
method. Under this method, future income tax assets and liabilities
are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences
between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and
available loss carry forwards and are measured using the substantively enacted
tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to
be reversed. A valuation allowance is established to reduce tax
assets if it is more likely than not that all or some portions of such tax
assets will not be realized.

Non-Monetary
Transactions
Transactions
in which shares or other non-cash consideration are exchanged for assets or
services are measured at the fair value of the assets or services involved in
accordance with Section 3830 (“Non-monetary Transactions”) of the Canadian
Institute of Chartered Accountants Handbook (“CICA Handbook”).
Earnings
Per Share
Basic
loss per share is calculated by dividing the loss for the year by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted loss per
share is computed using the treasury stock method. Under this method, the
diluted weighted average number of shares is calculated assuming the proceeds
that arise from the exercise of stock options and other dilutive instruments are
used to repurchase the Company’s shares at their weighted average market price
for the period.
Future
Accounting Changes
The CICA
issued a new accounting standard, Section 3064, “Goodwill and Intangible
Assets”. This section replaces Section 3062, “Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets” and Section 3450, “Research and Development Costs”. Various changes have
made to other sections of the CICA Handbook for consistency purposes. Section
3064 establishes standards for the recognition, measurement, presentation and
disclosure of goodwill subsequent to its initial recognition and of intangible
assets by profit-oriented enterprises. Standards concerning goodwill are
unchanged from the standards included in the previous Section 3062. The new
section will be applicable to financial statements relating to fiscal years
beginning on or after January 1, 2009. Accordingly, the Company will adopt the
new standards for its fiscal year beginning September 1, 2009. The Company is
currently assessing the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on
its financial statements.
The CICA
has amended Section 1400, “General Standard of Financial Statement Presentation”
which is effective for annual and interim financial periods beginning on or
after January 1, 2008, specifically September 1, 2008 for this company to
include requirements to assess and disclose the Company’s ability to continue as
a going concern. The Company is currently assessing the impact that the adoption
of this standard will have on its financial statements.
CICA
Section 1601, “Consolidated Financial Statements” and Section 1602,
“Non-Controlling Interest” replaces CICA Section 1600, “Consolidated Financial
Statements”. Section 1601 establishes standards for the preparation of
consolidated financial Statements. Section 1602 establishes standards for
accounting for a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary in consolidated
financial statements subsequent to a business combination. Section 1602 is
equivalent to the corresponding provisions of International Financial Reporting
Standard IAS 27, Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements. These standards
are effective for the Company for interim and annual financial statements
beginning on or after January 1, 2011, specifically September 1, 2011 for this
company. The Company has not yet determined the impact of the adoption of these
changes on its Financial Statements.
In
January 2009, the CICA issued Section 1582 “Business Combinations”. This section
is effective January 1, 2011 and applies prospectively to business combinations
for which the acquisition date is on or after the first annual reporting period
of the Company beginning on or after January 1, 2011 specifically September 1,
2011 for this company. Early adoption is permitted. This section replaces
Section 1581 “Business Combination” and harmonizes the Canadian standards with
international financial reporting standards (IFRS). The Company does not
anticipate that the adoption of this standard will impact its financial
results.

Future
Accounting Changes (cont’d)
Effective
September 1, 2008, the Company adopted CICA Handbook Section 3031, Inventories
which replaced Section 3030 and establishes new standards for the measurement
and disclosure of inventories. The main features of the new Section are as
follows:
|
|
Measurement
of inventories at the lower of cost and net realizable
value
|
|
|
Consistent
use of either first-in, first-out or a weighted average cost formula to
measure cost
|
|
|
Reversal
of previous write-down to net realizable value when there is a subsequent
increase to the value of
inventories.
|
The
adoption of Section 3031 is not expected to have an impact on these financial
statements.
CICA
Handbook Section 1535, Capital Disclosures, requires disclosure of an entity’s
objectives, policies and processes for managing capital, quantitative data about
what the entity regards as capital and whether the entity has complied with any
capital requirements and, if it has not complied, the consequences of such
noncompliance. This standard is effective for interim and annual financial
statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after October 1, 2007. There
is no significant impact of the adoption of this standard on the Company’s
results of operations; additional applicable disclosures have been made in these
financial statements
Effective
October 3, 2007, the Company adopted the recommendations of CICA Handbook
Section 3855 Financial Instruments-Recognition and Measurement, Section 3861
Financial Instruments-Disclosure and Presentation, Section 1530, Comprehensive
Income, and Section 3251, Equity, Section 3865, Hedges, Section 3862, Financial
Instrument Disclosure and Section 3863, Financial Instrument
Presentation.
Section
3855 establishes standards for recognizing and measuring financial assets,
financial liabilities and non-financial derivatives. Upon adoption,
all existing and new financial assets and financial liabilities of an enterprise
must be classified as either held for trading, held to maturity, or available
for sale with each classification having a different accounting treatment after
the initial recognition of the asset or liability. All financial
assets and financial liabilities must be measured at fair value upon initial
recognition.
After
initial recognition, the financial assets are measured according to the
following guidelines. Financial assets that are classified as
available for sale or held for trading must be measured at fair
value. Any gain or loss on a financial asset held for trading is
recorded in the financial statements of operations and comprehensive income
(loss) in the period in which it occurs. Any gain or loss on a
financial asset that is available for sale is recorded in other comprehensive
income (loss) until the financial assets is derecognized at which point the
cumulative gain or loss is recognized in net income (loss). Financial
assets that are classified as held to maturity should be measured at amortized
cost using the effective interest method.
After
initial recognition, all financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost
using the effective interest rate method.

The
standard also addresses the appropriate accounting for non-financial contracts
with embedded derivatives. The Company does not have any contracts
with embedded derivatives.
Sections
3862 and 3863 establishes standards for disclosure and presentation of financial
instruments and non-financial derivatives, and identifies the information that
should be disclosed about them. Additional disclosures, if required,
have been added for the current period upon adoption of this new
standard.
Section
1530 sets the standard for reporting and displaying of comprehensive income
(loss). It does not address issues of recognition or measurement for
comprehensive income (loss) or its components. The standard requires
that comprehensive income (loss) and its individual components be presented in
the Company’s financial statements. The adoption of this policy did
not have a material impact on the Company financial results for the
year.
Section
3251 establishes the standards for presentation of equity and changes in equity
during the reporting period. The application of this standard did not
materially change the Company’s statement of shareholders equity.
In
February 2008, the Accounting Standards Board “(AcSB)” confirmed that the use of
IFRS will be required in 2011 for publicly accountable enterprises in Canada. In
April 2008, the AcSB issued an IFRS Omnibus Exposure Draft proposing that
publicly accountable enterprises be required to apply IFRS, in full and without
modification, on January 1, 2011. The adoption date of January 1, 2011 will
require the restatement, for comparative purposes, of amounts reported by the
Company for its year ended December 31, 2010, and of the opening balance sheet
as at January 1, 2010. The AcSB proposes that CICA Handbook Section,
Accounting Changes
, paragraph
1506.30, which would require an entity to disclose information relating to a new
primary source of GAAP that has been issued but is not yet effective and that
the entity has not applied, not be applied with respect to the IFRS Omnibus
Exposure Draft. The Company is continuing to assess the financial reporting
impacts of the adoption of IFRS and, at this time, the impact on future
financial position and results of operations is not reasonably determinable or
estimable. The Company does anticipate a significant increase in disclosure
resulting from the adoption of IFRS and is continuing to assess the level of
disclosure required, as well as system changes that may be necessary to gather
and process the required information.

Retirement Obligation

The
Company’s asset retirement obligations result from net ownership interests in
natural gas assets including well sites, gathering systems and processing
facilities. The Company estimates the total undiscounted amount of cash flows
required to settle its asset retirement obligations at November 30, 2008 was
approximately $9,032, which will be incurred between 2009 and 2026. A
credit-adjusted risk-free rate of 7 percent and an annual inflation rate of 5
percent were used to calculate the future asset retirement
obligation.

Reconciliation
to Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United
States
|
The
Company's accounting policies do not differ materially from accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States ("US GAAP") except for the
following:
Recently
Issued United States Accounting Standards:
In
September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements." SFAS
No. 157 clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the
assumptions market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability and
establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to
develop those assumptions.
Under the
standard, fair value measurements would be separately disclosed by level within
the fair value hierarchy. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements
issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods
within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted.
The
Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 157 to materially impact its
consolidated financial statements.

Reconciliation

States (cont’d)

In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined
Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans – an amendment of FASB Statements
No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)”. This statement requires employers to recognize the
overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other
than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its statement of
financial
position
and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes
occur through comprehensive income of a business entity or changes in
unrestricted net assets of a not-for-profit organization. This statement also
requires an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of
its year-end statement of financial position, with limited
exceptions.
The
provisions of SFAS No. 158 are effective for employers with publicly traded
equity securities as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15,
2006. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect
on the Company’s future reported financial position or results of
operations.
In
September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (Topic 1N), “Quantifying Misstatements in Current
Year Financial Statements” (“SAB No. 108”). SAB No.108 addresses how the effect
of prior year uncorrected misstatements should be considered when quantifying
misstatements in current year financial statements. SAB No. 108 requires SEC
registrants (i) to quantify misstatements using a combined approach which
considers both the balance sheet and income statement approaches; (ii) to
evaluate whether either approach results in quantifying an error that is
material in light of relevant quantitative and qualitative factors; and (iii) to
adjust their financial statements if the new combined approach results in a
conclusion that an error is material. SAB No. 108 addresses the mechanics of
correcting misstatements that include effects from prior years. It indicates
that the current year correction of a material error that includes prior year
effects may result in the need to correct prior year financial statements even
if the misstatement in the prior year of years is considered
immaterial.
Any prior
year financial statements found to be materially misstated in years subsequent
to the issuance of SAB No. 108 would be restated in accordance with SFAS No.
154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections”. Because the combined approach
represents a change in practice, the SEC staff will not require registrants that
followed an acceptable approach in the past to restate prior years’ historical
financial statements. Rather, these registrants can report the cumulative effect
of adopting the new approach as an adjustment to the current year’s beginning
balance of retained earnings. If the new approach is adopted in a quarter other
than the first quarter, financial statements for prior interim periods within
the year of adoption may need to be restated. SAB No. 108 is effective for
fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006, which for the Company would be its
fiscal year beginning April 1, 2007. The implementation of SAB No. 108 is not
expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations and
financial condition.
In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 (“SFAS 159”) – the fair value option
for financial assets and liabilities including an amendment of SFAS 115. This
Statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and
certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial
reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in
reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently
without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. This statement is
expected to expand the use of fair value measurement objectives for accounting
for financial instruments. This statement is effective as of the beginning of an
entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007, and interim
periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted as of the
beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided
the entity also elects to apply the provisions of FASB Statement No. 157, “Fair
Value Measures”. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 159
on its consolidated financial statements.

In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160,
"Non-controlling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements-An Amendment of ARB No. 51" ("SFAS
160")
. SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for the
non-controlling interest in a subsidiary (previously referred to as minority
interests). SFAS 160 also requires that a retained non-controlling interest upon
the deconsolidation of a subsidiary be initially measured at its fair value.
Upon adoption of SFAS 160, the Company would be required to report any
non-controlling interests as a separate component of stockholders' equity. The
Company would also be required to present any net income allocable to non-
controlling interests and net income attributable to the stockholders of the
Company separately in its consolidated statements of operations.
SFAS 160
is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company
does not believe the adoption of FAS 160 will have a material impact on its
consolidated operating results, financial position or cash flows.
In March
2008, the FASB issued FAS No. 161,
“Disclosure about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities”
(“FAS 161”). FAS 161 changes the
disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities by
requiring enhanced disclosures about how and why an entity uses derivatives
instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an
entity’s operating results,
financial
position, and cash flows. FAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued
for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. Early
adoption is permitted. The Company is currently reviewing the provisions of FAS
161. However, as the provisions of FAS 161 are only related to disclosure of
derivative and hedging activities, the Company does not believe the adoption of
FAS 161 will have a material impact on its consolidated operating results,
financial position or cash flows.
May 2008,
the FASB issued
SFAS No. 162,
The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("SFAS No.
162")
. The new standard is intended to improve financial reporting by
identifying a consistent framework, or hierarchy, for selecting accounting
principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are presented in
conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for
nongovernmental
entities.
SFAS No. 162 is effective 60 days following the Securities and Exchange
Commission’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Auditing
amendment to AU Section 411, the Meaning of
Present
Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The Company
is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of SFAS No. 162 but does not
expect adoption to have a material impact on results of operations, cash flows
or financial position.
In May
2008, the FASB issued
SFAS No.
163, Accounting for Finance Guarantee Insurance Contracts – an interpretation of
FASB Statement No. 60
.
The premium revenue
recognition approach for a financial guarantee insurance contract links premium
revenue recognition to the amount of insurance protection and the period in
which it is provided. For purposes of this statement, the amount of insurance
protection provided is assumed to be a function of the insured principal amount
outstanding, since the premium received requires the insurance enterprise to
stand ready to protect holders of an insured financial obligation from loss due
to default over the period of the insured financial obligation. This Statement
is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2008. The Company does not believe the adoption of FAS 163 will
have a material impact on its consolidated operating results, financial position
or cash flows.
There are
no material differences between the balance sheets prepared using the Canadian
GAAP and the U.S. GAAP.

Financial
Instruments and Risk Factors
|
The
Company is exposed to financial risk, in a range of financial instruments
including cash, other receivables and accounts payable and advances payable. The
Company manages its exposure to financial risks by operating in a manner that
minimizes its exposure to the extent practical. The main financial risks
affecting the Company are discussed below:
The fair
value of financial instruments at November 30 and August 31, 2008 is summarized

Credit
risk arises when a failure by counter parties to discharge their obligations
could reduce the amount of future cash inflows from financial assets on hand at
the balance sheet date. Receivables from natural gas marketers are collected on
the 25
th
day of
each month following production. The Company’s policy to mitigate credit risk
associated with these balances is to establish relationships with credit-worthy
marketers. There are no other material accounts receivable at November 30, 2008
that the Company deemed uncollectible.
|
(b)
|
Foreign
Exchange Risk
|
The
prices received by the Company for the production of natural gas and natural gas
liquids are primarily determined in reference to U.S. dollars but are settled
with the Company in Canadian dollars. The Company’s cash flow for commodity
sales will therefore be impacted by fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. The
Company considers this risk to be limited.
Interest
rate risk refers to the risk that the value of a financial instrument or cash
flows associated with the instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market
interest rates. The Company is not exposed to interest rate risk.
Based on
management's knowledge and experience of the financial markets, the Company
believes that the movements in interest rates that are reasonably possible over
the next twelve month period will not have a significant impact on the
Company.

Financial
Instruments and Risk
Factors (cont’d)
|
(d) Liquidity
Risk
Liquidity
risk includes the risk that, as a result of our operational liquidity
requirements:
|
·
|
The
Company will not have sufficient funds to settle transaction on the due
date;
|
|
·
|
The
Company will be forced to sell financial assets at a value which is less
than what they are worth; or
|
|
·
|
The
Company may be unable to settle or recover a financial asset at
all.
|
The
Company considers this risk to be limited.
Commodity
price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows will fluctuate
as a result of changes in commodity prices. Commodity prices for petroleum and
natural gas are impacted by world economic events that dictate the levels of
supply and demand.
The
Company believes that movement in commodity prices that are reasonably possible
over the next twelve month period will not have a significant impact on the
Company.

|
Commodity
Price Sensitivity
|
The
following table summarizes the sensitivity of the fair value of the Company’s
risk management position as at November 30, 2008 to fluctuations in natural gas
prices, with all other variables held constant. When assessing the potential
impact of these price changes, the Company believes that a 10 percent volatility
is a reasonable measure. Fluctuations in natural gas prices potentially could
have resulted in unrealized gains (losses) impacting net income as

The
Company’s objectives when managing capital is to safeguard the entity’s ability
to continue as a going concern. The Company sets the amount of capital in
proportion to risk. The Company manages the capital structure and makes
adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk
characteristics of any underlying assets. The board of directors does not
establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather
relies on the expertise of the Company's management to sustain future
development of the business.
Currently,
the Company does not have any operational cash requirements other than
administrative expenditures. The Company’s revenue producing properties are
fully developed and there are no further outlays or expenses projected to
develop these properties at this time.
Management
reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that
this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is
reasonable.
There
were no changes in the Company’s capital management during the period ended
November 30, 2008.
The
Company is not subjected to any externally imposed capital
requirements.

During
the three months ending November 30, 2008, the company recorded an interest
expense of $2,022 on its notes payable to shareholders. The amount is included
in the notes payable at the quarter end. Also see note 4.
The
related parties’ transactions arose in the normal course of business and have
been accounted for at the exchange amount being the amount agreed to by the
related parties, which approximates the arms length equivalent
value.
The
Company entered into a Letter of Intent dated January 23, 2009 for the sale of
100% of its issued and outstanding shares. This transaction was finalized on
February 27, 2009. The shareholders of the Company received 33.6628825 units for
each 1354166 Alberta Ltd. share or $445,528 in the aggregate which represented
8,910,564 units of the acquiring company at a value of $0.05 per
unit. Each unit is comprised of (1) common share and (1) purchase
warrant where each whole warrant is exercisable until February 27, 2014 to
purchase one additional common share of the acquiring company at a purchase
price of $0.07 per share. In addition, following the closing of the transaction
the acquiring company paid the Company’s notes payable of
$118,000.

AUDITORS’
REPORT
To the
Shareholders of
1354166
Alberta Ltd.
We have
audited the balance sheet of 1354166 Alberta Ltd. (the “Company”) as at August
31, 2008 and the related statements of income, comprehensive income and retained
earnings, and cash flows for the period from October 3, 2007 (date of
incorporation) to August 31, 2008. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We
conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing
standards and with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit
to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation.
In our
opinion, these financial statements present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial position of the Company as at August 31, 2008 and the results of
its operations and its cash flows for the period from October 3, 2007 (date of
incorporation) to August 31, 2008, in accordance with Canadian generally
accepted accounting principles which differ in certain respects from generally
accepted accounting principles in the United States (refer to note
8).

Notes
to Financial Statements
(Expressed
in Canadian Dollars)
The
Company was incorporated on October 3, 2007 under the Business Corporations Act
(Alberta)
.The Company's
business focus consists of acquiring, exploring and developing oil and gas
interests. The recoverability of the amount shown for these properties is
dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable reserves, the ability
of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete exploration and
development, and future profitable production or proceeds from disposition of
such property.
2.
|
Significant
Accounting Policies
|
The
Company has adopted The Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants’ (“CICA”)
Handbook Section 1530, Comprehensive Income, Section 3861, Financial Instruments
– Disclosure and Presentation and Section 3865, Hedges. Section 3861
establishes standards for disclosure and presentation of financial assets,
financial liabilities and non-financial derivatives. As there are no
comprehensive income items, comprehensive income is equal to net
income. Also, the Company does not hold any derivative instruments
for hedging purposes. Accordingly, the effect of the adoption of
Sections 1530 and 3865 has been disclosed in the Company’s financial
statements.
Oil
and Gas Interests
The
Company follows the successful efforts method of accounting for its oil and gas
interest. Under this method, costs related to the acquisition,
exploration, and development of oil and gas interests are capitalized. The
Company carries as an asset, exploratory well costs if a) the well found a
sufficient quantity of reserves to justify its completion as a producing well
and b) the Company is making sufficient progress assessing the reserves and the
economic and operating viability of the project. If a property is not productive
or commercially viable, its costs are written off to
operations. Impairment of non-producing properties is assessed based
on management's expectations of the properties.
Costs
capitalized, together with the costs of production equipment, are depleted on
the unit-of-production method based on the estimated proved
reserves.
Proved
oil and gas properties held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment
whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be
recoverable. Impairments are measured by the amount by which the asset’s
carrying value exceeds its fair value and is included in the determination of
net income for the year.
The
Company has a 5.1975% interest in a natural gas unit in Alberta, Canada. The
Company’s interest is held in trust through a joint venture
partner.
Revenue
Recognition
Revenues
associated with the sale of crude oil and natural gas are recorded when the
title passes to the customer. The customer has assumed the risks and rewards of
ownership, prices are fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably
assured.
The
Company does not enter into ongoing arrangements whereby it is required to
repurchase its products, nor does the Company provide the customer with a right
of return.
Royalties
As is
normal to the industry, the Company's future production is subject to crown
royalties. These amounts are reported net of related tax
credits.

Significant
Accounting
Policies (cont’d)
|
Environmental and Site
Restoration
Costs
A
provision for environmental and site restoration costs is made when restoration
requirements are established and costs can be reasonably estimated. The accrual
is based on management's best estimate of the present value of the expected cash
flows. Site restoration costs increase the carrying amount of the oil and gas
properties and are amortized on the same basis as the properties.
Asset
Retirement Obligations
The
Company recognizes an estimate of the liability associated with an asset
retirement obligation (“ARO”) in the financial statements at the time the
liability is incurred. The estimated fair value of the ARO is recorded as a
long-term liability with a corresponding increase in the carrying amount of the
related asset. The capitalized amount is depleted on a straight-line basis over
the estimated life of the asset. The liability amount is increased each
reporting period due to the passage of time and the amount of accretion to
operations in the period. The ARO can also increase or decrease due to changes
in the estimates of timing of cash flows or changes in the original estimated
undiscounted cost. Actual costs incurred upon settlement of the ARO are charged
against the ARO to the extent of the liability recorded.
Ceiling
Test
The
Company performs a ceiling test calculation in accordance with the Canadian
Institute of Chartered Accountants’ successful efforts method guidelines,
including an impairment test on undeveloped properties. The recovery of costs is
tested by comparing the carrying amount of the oil and natural gas assets to the
reserves report. If the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount, then
impairment would be recognized on the amount by which the carrying amount of the
assets exceeds the present value of expected cash flows using proved plus
probable reserves and expected future prices and costs. No write-down was
required for the period ended August 31, 2008.
Foreign
Currencies
Assets
and liabilities denominated in currencies other than Canadian dollars are
translated at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenue and
expense items are translated at the average rates of exchange for the year.
Exchange gains and losses are included in the determination of net income for
the year.
Financial
Instruments
The
Company's financial instruments consist of certain instruments with short term
maturities. It is management's opinion that the Company is not
exposed to any significant interest rate or credit risks arising from these
financial instruments. The fair value of short term financial
instruments approximates the carrying value. All of the Company's
cash is held at one major financial institution.
Accounting
Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with Canadian generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates
include the determination of environmental obligations, AROs, rates for
amortization, the impairment of oil and gas interest, determination of accrued
liabilities, valuation allowance of future tax assets and determination of the
variables used in the calculation of stock-based compensation. While management
believes the estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ from those
estimates and could impact future results of operations and cash
flows.

Income
Taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability
method. Under this method, future income tax assets and liabilities
are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences
between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and
available loss carry forwards and are measured using the substantively enacted
tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to
be reversed. A valuation allowance is established to reduce tax
assets if it is more likely than not that all or some portions of such tax
assets will not be realized.
Non-Monetary
Transactions
Transactions
in which shares or other non-cash consideration are exchanged for assets or
services are measured at the fair value of the assets or services involved in
accordance with Section 3830 (“Non-monetary Transactions”) of the Canadian
Institute of Chartered Accountants Handbook (“CICA Handbook”).
Earnings
Per Share
Basic
loss per share is calculated by dividing the loss for the year by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted loss per
share is computed using the treasury stock method. Under this method, the
diluted weighted average number of shares is calculated assuming the proceeds
that arise from the exercise of stock options and other dilutive instruments are
used to repurchase the Company’s shares at their weighted average market price
for the period.
Future
Accounting Changes
The CICA
issued a new accounting standard, Section 3064, “Goodwill and Intangible
Assets”. This section replaces Section 3062, “Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets” and Section 3450, “Research and Development Costs”. Various changes have
made to other sections of the CICA Handbook for consistency purposes. Section
3064 establishes standards for the recognition, measurement, presentation and
disclosure of goodwill subsequent to its initial recognition and of intangible
assets by profit-oriented enterprises. Standards concerning goodwill are
unchanged from the standards included in the previous Section 3062. The new
section will be applicable to financial statements relating to fiscal years
beginning on or after January 1, 2009. Accordingly, the Company will adopt the
new standards for its fiscal year beginning September 1, 2009. The Company is
currently assessing the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on
its financial statements.
The CICA
has amended Section 1400, “General Standard of Financial Statement Presentation”
which is effective for annual and interim financial periods beginning on or
after January 1, 2008, specifically September 1, 2008 for this company to
include requirements to assess and disclose the Company’s ability to continue as
a going concern. The Company is currently assessing the impact that the adoption
of this standard will have on its financial statements.
In
January 2009, the CICA issued Section 1582 “Business Combinations”. This section
is effective January 1, 2011 and applies prospectively to business combinations
for which the acquisition date is on or after the first annual reporting period
of the Company beginning on or after January 1, 2011 specifically September 1,
2011 for this company. Early adoption is permitted. This section replaces
Section 1581 “Business Combination” and harmonizes the Canadian standards with
international financial reporting standards (IFRS). The Company does not
anticipate that the adoption of this standard will impact its financial
results.

Future
Accounting Changes (cont’d)
CICA
Section 1601, “Consolidated Financial Statements” and Section 1602,
“Non-Controlling Interest” replaces CICA Section 1600, “Consolidated Financial
Statements”. Section 1601 establishes standards for the preparation of
consolidated financial Statements. Section 1602 establishes standards for
accounting for a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary in consolidated
financial statements subsequent to a business combination. Section 1602 is
equivalent to the corresponding provisions of International Financial Reporting
Standard IAS 27, Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements. These standards
are effective for the Company for interim and annual financial statements
beginning on or after January 1, 2011, specifically September 1, 2011 for this
company. The Company has not yet determined the impact of the adoption of these
changes on its Financial Statements.
Effective
September 1, 2008, the Company will adopted CICA Handbook Section 3031,
Inventories which replaced Section 3030 and establishes new standards for the
measurement and disclosure of inventories. The main features of the new Section
are as follows:
|
|
Measurement
of inventories at the lower of cost and net realizable
value
|
|
|
Consistent
use of either first-in, first-out or a weighted average cost formula to
measure cost
|
|
|
Reversal
of previous write-down to net realizable value when there is a subsequent
increase to the value of
inventories.
|
The
adoption of Section 3031 is not expected to have an impact on these financial
statements.
CICA
Handbook Section 1535, Capital Disclosures, requires disclosure of an entity’s
objectives, policies and processes for managing capital, quantitative data about
what the entity regards as capital and whether the entity has complied with any
capital requirements and, if it has not complied, the consequences of such
noncompliance. This standard is effective for interim and annual financial
statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after October 1, 2007. There
is no significant impact of the adoption of this standard on the Company’s
results of operations; additional applicable disclosures have been made in these
financial statements
Effective
October 3, 2007, the Company adopted the recommendations of CICA Handbook
Section 3855 Financial Instruments-Recognition and Measurement, Section 3861
Financial Instruments-Disclosure and Presentation, Section 1530, Comprehensive
Income, and Section 3251, Equity, Section 3865, Hedges, Section 3862, Financial
Instrument Disclosure and Section 3863, Financial Instrument
Presentation.
Section
3855 establishes standards for recognizing and measuring financial assets,
financial liabilities and non-financial derivatives. Upon adoption,
all existing and new financial assets and financial liabilities of an enterprise
must be classified as either held for trading, held to maturity, or available
for sale with each classification having a different accounting treatment after
the initial recognition of the asset or liability. All financial
assets and financial liabilities must be measured at fair value upon initial
recognition.
After
initial recognition, the financial assets are measured according to the
following guidelines. Financial assets that are classified as
available for sale or held for trading must be measured at fair
value. Any gain or loss on a financial asset held for trading is
recorded in the financial statements of operations and comprehensive income
(loss) in the period in which it occurs. Any gain or loss on a
financial asset that is available for sale is recorded in other comprehensive
income (loss) until the financial assets is derecognized at which point the
cumulative gain or loss is recognized in net income (loss). Financial
assets that are classified as held to maturity should be measured at amortized
cost using the effective interest method.
After
initial recognition, all financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost
using the effective interest rate method.

The
standard also addresses the appropriate accounting for non-financial contracts
with embedded derivatives. The Company does not have any contracts
with embedded derivatives.
Sections
3862 and 3863 establishes standards for disclosure and presentation of financial
instruments and non-financial derivatives, and identifies the information that
should be disclosed about them. Additional disclosures, if required,
have been added for the current period upon adoption of this new
standard.
Section
1530 sets the standard for reporting and displaying of comprehensive income
(loss). It does not address issues of recognition or measurement for
comprehensive income (loss) or its components. The standard requires
that comprehensive income (loss) and its individual components be presented in
the Company’s financial statements. The adoption of this policy did
not have a material impact on the Company financial results for the
year.
Section
3251 establishes the standards for presentation of equity and changes in equity
during the reporting period. The application of this standard did not
materially change the Company’s statement of shareholders equity.
In
February 2008, the Accounting Standards Board “(AcSB)” confirmed that the use of
IFRS will be required in 2011 for publicly accountable enterprises in Canada. In
April 2008, the AcSB issued an IFRS Omnibus Exposure Draft proposing that
publicly accountable enterprises be required to apply IFRS, in full and without
modification, for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2011. The
adoption date of September 1, 2011 for this company will require the
restatement, for comparative purposes, of amounts reported by the Company for
its year ended August 31, 2011, and of the opening balance sheet as at September
1, 2010. The AcSB proposes that CICA Handbook Section,
Accounting Changes
, paragraph
1506.30, which would require an entity to disclose information relating to a new
primary source of GAAP that has been issued but is not yet effective and that
the entity has not applied, not be applied with respect to the IFRS Omnibus
Exposure Draft. The Company is continuing to assess the financial reporting
impacts of the adoption of IFRS and, at this time, the impact on future
financial position and results of operations is not reasonably determinable or
estimable. The Company does anticipate a significant increase in disclosure
resulting from the adoption of IFRS and is continuing to assess the level of
disclosure required, as well as system changes that may be necessary to gather
and process the required information.

The
Company’s asset retirement obligations result from net ownership interests in
natural gas assets including well sites, gathering systems and processing
facilities. The Company estimates the total undiscounted amount of cash flows
required to settle its asset retirement obligations at August 31, 2008 was
approximately $9,114, which will be incurred between 2009 and 2026. A
credit-adjusted risk-free rate of 7 percent and an annual inflation rate of 5
percent were used to calculate the future asset retirement
obligation.

States

The
Company's accounting policies do not differ materially from accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States ("US GAAP") except for the
following:
Recently
Issued United States Accounting Standards:
In
September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements." SFAS
No. 157 clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the
assumptions market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability and
establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to
develop those assumptions. Under the standard, fair value measurements would be
separately disclosed by level within the fair value hierarchy. SFAS No. 157 is
effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early
adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 157 to
materially impact its consolidated financial statements.

In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined
Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans – an amendment of FASB Statements
No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)”. This statement requires employers to recognize the
overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other
than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its statement of
financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in
which the changes occur through comprehensive income of a business entity or
changes in unrestricted net assets of a not-for-profit organization. This
statement also requires an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of
the date of its year-end statement of financial position, with limited
exceptions. The provisions of SFAS No. 158 are effective for employers with
publicly traded equity securities as of the end of the fiscal year ending after
December 15, 2006. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a
material effect on the Company’s future reported financial position or results
of operations.
In
September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin No.
108
(Topic 1N), “Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements”
(“SAB No. 108”). SAB No.108 addresses how the effect of prior year uncorrected
misstatements should be considered when quantifying misstatements in current
year financial statements. SAB No. 108 requires SEC registrants (i) to quantify
misstatements using a combined approach which considers both the balance sheet
and income statement approaches; (ii) to evaluate whether either approach
results in quantifying an error that is material in light of relevant
quantitative and qualitative factors; and (iii) to adjust their financial
statements if the new combined approach results in a conclusion that an error is
material. SAB No. 108 addresses the mechanics of correcting misstatements that
include effects from prior years. It indicates that the current year correction
of a material error that includes prior year effects may result in the need to
correct prior year financial statements even if the misstatement in the prior
year of years is considered immaterial.
Any prior
year financial statements found to be materially misstated in years subsequent
to the issuance of SAB No. 108 would be restated in accordance with SFAS No.
154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections”. Because the combined approach
represents a change in practice, the SEC staff will not require registrants that
followed an acceptable approach in the past to restate prior years’ historical
financial statements. Rather, these registrants can report the cumulative effect
of adopting the new approach as an adjustment to the current year’s beginning
balance of retained earnings. If the new approach is adopted in a quarter other
than the first quarter, financial statements for prior interim periods within
the year of adoption may need to be restated. SAB No. 108 is effective for
fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006, which for the Company would be its
fiscal year beginning April 1, 2007. The implementation of SAB No. 108 is not
expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations and
financial condition.
In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 (“SFAS 159”) – the fair value option
for financial assets and liabilities including an amendment of SFAS 115. This
Statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and
certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial
reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in
reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently
without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. This statement is
expected to expand the use of fair value measurement objectives for accounting
for financial instruments. This statement is effective as of the beginning of an
entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007, and interim
periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted as of the
beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided
the entity also elects to apply the provisions of FASB Statement No. 157, “Fair
Value Measures”. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 159
on its consolidated financial statements.

In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160,
"Non-controlling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements-An Amendment of ARB No. 51" ("SFAS
160")
. SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for the
non-controlling interest in a subsidiary (previously referred to as minority
interests). SFAS 160 also requires that a retained non-controlling interest upon
the deconsolidation of a subsidiary be initially measured at its fair value.
Upon adoption of SFAS 160, the Company would be required to report any
non-controlling interests as a separate component of stockholders'
equity.
The
Company would also be required to present any net income allocable to non-
controlling interests and net income attributable to the stockholders of the
Company separately in its consolidated statements of operations. SFAS 160 is
effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company does
not believe the adoption of FAS 160 will have a material impact on its
consolidated operating results, financial position or cash flows.
In March
2008, the FASB issued FAS No. 161,
“Disclosure about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities”
(“FAS 161”). FAS 161 changes the
disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities by
requiring enhanced disclosures about how and why an entity uses derivatives
instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an
entity’s operating results,
financial
position, and cash flows. FAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued
for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. Early
adoption is permitted. The Company is currently reviewing the provisions of FAS
161. However, as the provisions of FAS 161 are only related to disclosure of
derivative and hedging activities, the Company does not believe the adoption of
FAS 161 will have a material impact on its operating results, financial position
or cash flows.
May 2008,
the FASB issued
SFAS No. 162,
The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("SFAS No.
162")
. The new standard is intended to improve financial reporting by
identifying a consistent framework, or hierarchy, for selecting accounting
principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are presented in
conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for
nongovernmental
entities.
SFAS No. 162 is effective 60 days following the Securities and Exchange
Commission’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Auditing
amendment to AU Section 411, the Meaning of
Present
Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The Company
is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of SFAS No. 162 but does not
expect adoption to have a material impact on results of operations, cash flows
or financial position.
In May
2008, the FASB issued
SFAS No.
163, Accounting for Finance Guarantee Insurance Contracts – an interpretation of
FASB Statement No. 60
.
The premium revenue
recognition approach for a financial guarantee insurance contract links premium
revenue recognition to the amount of insurance protection and the period in
which it is provided. For purposes of this statement, the amount of insurance
protection provided is assumed to be a function of the insured principal amount
outstanding, since the premium received requires the insurance enterprise to
stand ready to protect holders of an insured financial obligation from loss due
to default over the period of the insured financial obligation. This Statement
is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2008. The Company does not believe the adoption of FAS 163 will
have a material impact on its operating results, financial position or cash
flows.
There are
no material differences between the balance sheets prepared using the Canadian
GAAP and the U.S. GAAP.

Financial
Instruments and Risk Factors
|
The
Company is exposed to financial risk, in a range of financial instruments
including cash, other receivables and accounts payable and advances payable. The
Company manages its exposure to financial risks by operating in a manner that
minimizes its exposure to the extent practical. The main financial risks
affecting the Company are discussed below:

Credit
risk arises when a failure by counter parties to discharge their obligations
could reduce the amount of future cash inflows from financial assets on hand at
the balance sheet date. Receivables from natural gas marketers are collected on
the 25
th
day of
each month following production. The Company’s policy to mitigate credit risk
associated with these balances is to establish relationships with credit-worthy
marketers. There are no other material accounts receivable at August 31, 2008
that the Company deemed uncollectible.
|
(h)
|
Foreign
Exchange Risk
|
The
prices received by the Company for the production of natural gas and natural gas
liquids are primarily determined in reference to U.S. dollars but are settled
with the Company in Canadian dollars. The Company’s cash flow for commodity
sales will therefore be impacted by fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. The
Company considers this risk to be limited.
Interest
rate risk refers to the risk that the value of a financial instrument or cash
flows associated with the instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market
interest rates. The Company is not exposed to interest rate risk.
Based on
management's knowledge and experience of the financial markets, the Company
believes that the movements in interest rates that are reasonably possible over
the next twelve month period will not have a significant impact on the
Company.
The
Company considers this risk to be limited.

Financial
Instruments and Risk
Factors (cont’d)
|
Liquidity
risk includes the risk that, as a result of our operational liquidity
requirements:
|
·
|
The
Company will not have sufficient funds to settle transaction on the due
date;
|
|
·
|
The
Company will be forced to sell financial assets at a value which is less
than what they are worth; or
|
|
·
|
The
Company may be unable to settle or recover a financial asset at
all.
|
Commodity
price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows will fluctuate
as a result of changes in commodity prices. Commodity prices for petroleum and
natural gas are impacted by world economic events that dictate the levels of
supply and demand.
The
Company believes that movement in commodity prices that are reasonably possible
over the next twelve month period will not have a significant impact on the
Company.

Commodity
Price Sensitivity

The
following table summarizes the sensitivity of the fair value of the Company’s
risk management position as at August 31, 2008 to fluctuations in natural gas
prices, with all other variables held constant. When assessing the potential
impact of these price changes, the Company believes that 10 percent volatility
is a reasonable measure. Fluctuations in natural gas prices potentially could
have resulted in unrealized gains

impacting net income as follows:

The
Company’s objectives when managing capital is to safeguard the entity’s ability
to continue as a going concern. The Company sets the amount of capital in
proportion to risk. The Company manages the capital structure and makes
adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk
characteristics of any underlying assets. The board of directors does not
establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather
relies on the expertise of the Company's management to sustain future
development of the business.
Currently,
the Company does not have any operational cash requirements other than
administrative expenditures. The Company’s revenue producing properties are
fully developed and there are no further outlays or expenses projected to
develop these properties at this time.
Management
reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that
this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is
reasonable.
There
were no changes in the Company’s capital management during the period ended
August 31, 2008.
The
Company is not subjected to any externally imposed capital
requirements.

the date specified for redemption in such notice, whichever is the later, the
Preference Shares in respect whereof such deposit shall have been mace shall be
redeemed and the rights of the holders thereof after such deposit or such
redemption date, as the case may be, shall be limited to receiving without
interest their proportionate part of the total redemption price so deposited

of the Preference Shares outstanding from time to time from the holders thereof,
