Summary
Go Energy, Inc.
Prospective investors are urged to read this prospectus in its entirety.
We intend to commence operations in the oil and gas property exploration business. To date, we have not conducted any exploration activities. We have obtained a 25% working interest and a 19.50% net revenue interest in oil and gas leases located in Hood County, Texas. We refer to this oil and gas property as the Hood County Prospect. We may exercise this option by funding 25% of all expenditures necessary to drill a test oil and gas well on the property. We also own a 1% working interest, and corresponding 0.78% net revenue interest, in another property located in Hood County known as the Tolar Property.
Our objective is to conduct oil and gas exploration activities on the Hood County Prospect in order to assess whether it possesses commercially exploitable reserves of oil and/or natural gas. We have not, as yet, identified any commercially exploitable reserves. Our proposed exploration program is designed to search for commercially exploitable reserves.
We were incorporated on May 2, 2001 under the laws of the state of Delaware. Our principal offices are located at 4526 Underwood Avenue, North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
The Offering Securities Being Offered Up to 1,569,893 shares of common stock. Offering Price The selling shareholders will sell our shares at $0.05 per share until our shares are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, and thereafter at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices. We determined this offering price arbitrarily based upon the price of the last sale of our common stock to investors. Terms of the Offering The selling shareholders will determine when and how they will sell the common stock offered in this prospectus. Termination of the Offering The offering will conclude when all of the 1,569,893 shares of common stock have been sold, the shares no longer need to be registered to be sold or we decide to terminate the registration of the shares. Securities Issued And to be Issued 4,319,893 shares of our common stock are issued and outstanding as of the date of this prospectus. Existing shareholders will sell all of the shares of our common stock to be sold under this prospectus. Use of Proceeds We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the common stock by the selling shareholders.

Risk Factors
An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below and the other information in this prospectus before investing in our common stock. If any of the following risks occur, our business, operating results and financial condition could be seriously harmed. The trading price of our common stock could decline due to any of these risks, and you may lose all or part of your investment.
Risks Related To Our Financial Condition And Business Model
IF WE DO NOT OBTAIN ADDITIONAL FINANCING, OUR BUSINESS WILL FAIL.
Our current operating funds are less than necessary to complete the exploration of the optioned mineral claims, and therefore we will need to obtain additional financing in order to complete our business plan. As of December 31, 2002, we had cash in the amount of $19,220. We currently do not have any operations and we have no income. Our business plan calls for expenses in connection with the exploration of the Hood County oil and gas prospect.
The first well to be drilled on the Tolar Property is anticipated to cost $463,547. In order to maintain our 1% working interest in the well, we are required to pay $4,635.47. To maintain our 25% working interest in the Hood County Prospect well, we must pay approximately $116,000, representing 25% of the estimated drilling costs. While we have sufficient funds to maintain our 1% working interest in the Tolar Property well, we will require additional financing in order to maintain our 25% working interest in the Hood County Prospect well. We will also require additional financing if the costs of the exploration of our leased oil and gas prospect are greater than anticipated.
IF EXPLORATION OF OUR CURRENT OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES IS UNSUCCESSFUL, WE WILL NEED TO SECURE ADDITIONAL FINANCING TO CONTINUE BUSINESS OPERATIONS.
We will require additional financing to sustain our business operations if we are not successful in earning revenues once exploration is complete. We do not currently have any arrangements for financing and we can provide no assurance to investors that we will be able to find such financing if required. Obtaining additional financing would be subject to a number of factors, including the market price for oil and natural gas, investor acceptance of our property, and investor sentiment. These factors may make the timing, amount, terms or conditions of additional financing unavailable to us.
The most likely source of future funds presently available to us is through the sale of equity capital. Any sale of share capital will result in dilution to existing shareholders. The only other anticipated alternative for the financing of further exploration would be our sale of an interest in our oil and gas property interests to a third party that would conduct further exploration, which is not presently contemplated.
BECAUSE WE HAVE NOT COMMENCED BUSINESS OPERATIONS, WE FACE A HIGH RISK OF BUSINESS FAILURE.
We have not even begun the initial stages of exploration of our oil and gas property assets, and thus have no way to evaluate the likelihood that we will
be able to operate the business successfully. We were incorporated on May 2, 2001 and to date have been involved primarily in organizational activities and the acquisition of an interest in the Tolar Property and the Hood County Prospect. We have not earned any revenues as of the date of this prospectus. Potential investors should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by new oil and gas exploration companies and the high rate of failure of such enterprises. The likelihood of success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays encountered in connection with the exploration of the Hood County Prospect. These potential problems include, but are not limited to, unanticipated problems relating to exploration, and additional costs and expenses that may exceed current estimates.
Prior to completion of a first well, we anticipate that we will incur increased operating expenses without realizing any revenues. We therefore expect to incur significant losses into the foreseeable future. We recognize that if we are unable to generate significant revenues from the production of oil or gas, we will not be profitable. Our ability to continue operations may be jeopardized.
There is no history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that we will prove successful, and we can provide investors with no assurance that we will generate any operating revenues or ever achieve profitable operations. If we are unsuccessful in addressing these risks, our business will most likely fail.
THERE IS SUBSTANTIAL RISK THAT WE WILL NOT FIND EXPLOITABLE OIL AND GAS RESERVES AND THAT OUR BUSINESS WILL FAIL.
The search for valuable hydrocarbons as a business is extremely risky. We can provide investors with no assurance that the Tolar Property or the Hood County Prospect contain commercially exploitable reserves of oil or gas. Exploration for oil and gas is a speculative venture necessarily involving substantial risk. There is no guarantee that any well we drill on either property will result in the discovery of commercial quantities of oil or natural gas.
THERE ARE INHERENT DANGERS INVOLVED IN OIL AND GAS EXPLORATION. WE MAY INCUR LIABILITY FOR ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE AND OTHER POTENTIAL HAZARDS.
The search for oil and gas involves numerous hazards. As a result, we may become subject to liability for hazards against which we cannot insure or against which we may elect not to insure. The payment of such liabilities may have a material adverse effect on our financial position. We do not intend to seek environmental liability coverage.
EVEN IF WE DISCOVER COMMERCIAL RESERVES OF OIL AND GAS, WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY OBTAIN COMMERCIAL PRODUCTION.
The Tolar Property and the Hood County Prospect do not contain any known reserves of oil or natural gas. If our exploration programs are successful in establishing oil and gas reserves capable of commercial production, we will require additional funds in order to place these properties into commercial production. At this time, we can provide investors with no assurance that we will be able to obtain such financing.
OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN IS QUESTIONABLE.
Our auditors, PKF, Chartered Accountants, indicate in their Report of Independent Chartered Accountants that accompanies our audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2002 that there are a number of factors that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. These include the fact that we have had no operations, have established no source of revenue and need additional financing in order to complete our business plan. If we are unable to continue as a going concern, it is likely investors will lose their investments.
IF WE BECOME SUBJECT TO BURDENSOME GOVERNMENT REGULATION OR OTHER LEGAL UNCERTAINTIES, OUR BUSINESS WILL BE NEGATIVELY AFFECTED.
The legal and regulatory environment that pertains to the exploration of oil and gas is uncertain and may change. Uncertainty and new regulations could increase our costs of doing business and prevent us from exploring for oil and gas reserves. In addition to new laws and regulations being adopted, existing laws maybe applied to the oil and gas industry that have not as yet been applied. These new laws may increase our cost of doing business with the result that our financial condition and operating results may be harmed.
BECAUSE OUR PRESIDENT, MR. STRATO MALAMAS, OWNS 63.46% OF OUR OUTSTANDING COMMON STOCK, HE WILL MAKE AND CONTROL CORPORATE DECISIONS THAT MAY BE DISADVANTAGEOUS TO MINORITY SHAREHOLDERS.
Mr. Strato Malamas, our president and director, owns approximately 63.46% of the outstanding shares of our common stock. Accordingly, he will have a significant influence in determining the outcome of all corporate transactions or other matters, including mergers, consolidations and the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, and also the power to prevent or cause a change in control. The interests of Mr. Malamas may differ from the interests of the other stockholders and thus result in corporate decisions that are disadvantageous to other shareholders.
BECAUSE MANAGEMENT HAS ONLY LIMITED EXPERIENCE IN OIL AND GAS EXPLORATION, THE BUSINESS HAS A HIGHER RISK OF FAILURE.
Our management has only limited experience in oil and gas exploration. As a result of this inexperience, there is a higher risk of our being unable to complete our business plan in the exploration and exploitation of oil and gas properties.
IF A MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK DOES NOT DEVELOP, SHAREHOLDERS MAY BE UNABLE TO SELL THEIR SHARES.
There is currently no market for our common stock and we can provide no assurance that a market will develop. If no market is ever developed for our shares, it will be difficult for shareholders to sell their stock. In such a case, shareholders may find that they are unable to achieve benefits from their investment.
IF A MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK DEVELOPS, OUR STOCK PRICE MAY BE VOLATILE.
If a market for our common stock develops, we anticipate that the market price of our common stock will be subject to wide fluctuations in response to several factors, including:
(1) actual or anticipated variations in our results of operations;
(2) our ability or inability to generate new revenues;
(3) increased competition; and
(4) conditions and trends in the oil and gas industry.
Further, our stock price may be impacted by factors that are unrelated or disproportionate to our operating performance. These market fluctuations, as well as general economic, political and market conditions, such as recessions, interest rates or international currency fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

We use words such as anticipate, believe, plan, expect, future, intend and similar expressions to identify such forward-looking statements. You should not place too much reliance on these forward-looking statements.

The named party beneficially owns and has sole voting and investment power over all shares or rights to these shares. The numbers in this table assume that none of the selling shareholders sells shares of common stock not being offered in this prospectus or purchases additional shares of common stock, and assumes that all shares offered are sold. The percentages are based on 4,319,893 shares of common stock outstanding on March 21, 2003.
None of the selling shareholders:
(1) has had a material relationship with us other than as a shareholder at any time within the past three years; or
(2) has ever been one of our officers or directors.
Plan Of Distribution
The selling shareholders may sell some or all of their common stock in one or more transactions, including block transactions:
1. On such public markets or exchanges as the common stock may from
time to time be trading;
2. In privately negotiated transactions;
3. Through the writing of options on the common stock;
4. In short sales; or
5. In any combination of these methods of distribution.
The sales price to the public may be:
1. The market price prevailing at the time of sale;
2. A price related to such prevailing market price; or
3. Such other price as the selling shareholders determine from
time to time.
The selling shareholders are required to sell our shares at $0.05 per share until our shares are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, and thereafter at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices.
The shares may also be sold in compliance with the Securities and Exchange Commission's Rule 144.
The selling shareholders may also sell their shares directly to market makers acting as principals or brokers or dealers, who may act as agent or acquire the common stock as a principal. Any broker or dealer participating in such transactions as agent may receive a commission from the selling shareholders, or, if they act as agent for the purchaser of such common stock, from such purchaser. The selling shareholders will likely pay the usual and customary brokerage fees for such services. Brokers or dealers may agree with the selling shareholders to sell a specified number of shares at a stipulated price per share and, to the extent such broker or dealer is unable to do so acting as agent for the selling shareholders, to purchase, as principal, any unsold shares at the price required to fulfill the respective broker's or dealer's commitment to the selling shareholders. Brokers or dealers who acquire shares as principals may thereafter resell such shares from time to time in transactions in a market or on an exchange, in negotiated transactions or otherwise, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale or at negotiated prices, and in connection with such re-sales may pay or receive commissions to or from the purchasers of such shares. These transactions may involve cross and block transactions that may involve sales to and through other brokers or dealers. If applicable, the selling shareholders may distribute shares to one or more of their partners who are unaffiliated with us. Such partners may, in turn, distribute such shares as described above. We can provide no assurance that all or any of the common stock offered will be sold by the selling shareholders.
We are bearing all costs relating to the registration of the common stock. The selling shareholders, however, will pay any commissions or other fees payable to brokers or dealers in connection with any sale of the common stock.
The selling shareholders must comply with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act in the offer and sale of the common stock. In particular, during such times as the selling shareholders may be deemed to be engaged in a distribution of the common stock, and therefore be considered to be an underwriter, they must comply with applicable law and may, among other things:
1. Not engage in any stabilization activities in connection with our common stock;
2. Furnish each broker or dealer through which common stock may be offered, such copies of this prospectus, as amended from time to time, as may be required by such broker or dealer; and
3. Not bid for or purchase any of our securities or attempt to induce any person to purchase any of our securities other than as permitted under the Securities Exchange Act.
The Securities and Exchange Commission has also adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other
than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the Nasdaq system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system).
The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the Commission, which:
* contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the
market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary
trading;
* contains a description of the broker's or dealer's duties to the
customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer
with respect to a violation to such duties or other requirements
of Securities' laws;
* contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market,
including "bid" and "ask" prices for penny stocks and the
significance of the spread between the bid and ask price;
* contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on
disciplinary actions;
* defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the
* conduct of trading penny stocks; and
* contains such other information and is in such form (including
* language, type, size, and format) as the Commission shall require
* by rule or regulation;
The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, the customer:
* with bid and offer quotations for the penny stock;
* the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the
transaction;
* the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or
other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity
of the market for such stock; and
* monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny
stock held in the customer's account.
In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those 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 acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement. These disclosure requirements will have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our stock because it will be subject to these penny stock rules. Therefore, stockholders may have difficulty selling those securities.

Disclosure Of Commission Position Of Indemnification For Securities Act Liabilities
Our directors and officers are indemnified as provided by the Delaware Revised Statutes and our Bylaws. We have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act is against public policy as expressed in the Securities act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities is asserted by one of our directors, officers, or controlling persons in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our legal counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit the question of whether such indemnification is against public policy to court of appropriate jurisdiction. We will then be governed by the court's decision.
Organization Within Last Five Years
We were incorporated on May 2, 2001 under the laws of the state of Delaware. On that date, Strato Malamas was appointed as our president, chief executive officer, chief financial officer, secretary, treasurer and sole director.
On February 19, 2002, Stewart Jackson and James Michael Stewart were appointed as our directors.
Description Of Business
In General
We are an exploration stage oil and gas company. We plan to ultimately engage in the acquisition and exploration of oil and gas properties and to exploit oil and gas reserves we discover that demonstrate economic feasibility. We own a 1% working interest, and corresponding 0.78% net revenue interest in an oil and gas lease covering 40 acres located three miles south of Tolar, Hood
County, Texas, known as the Tolar Property. In addition, we have acquired a 25% working interest and corresponding 19.5% net revenue interest in a 111.89-acre lease located in Hood County, known as the Hood County Prospect.
Our plan of operations is to participate in the drilling of exploratory wells on the Tolar Property and Hood County Prospect in order to ascertain whether these properties possess commercially exploitable reserves of oil or natural gas. There can be no assurance that a commercially exploitable oil and gas reserve exists on either property until test wells are drilled on each of them.
Tolar Property
Pursuant to an Assignment of Oil and Gas Lease dated April 18, 2002, we acquired an undivided 1% working interest, and corresponding 0.78% net revenue interest in an oil and gas lease covering 40 acres located three miles south of Tolar, Hood County, Texas for consideration of $7,500 paid to International Oil & Gas, Inc., a private Delaware company. One of our directors, James Michael Stewart, acts as the president of International Oil & Gas, Inc.
In order to maintain our 1% working interest in the property, we are required to fund 1% of all costs associated will the drilling of a test well on the property. The cost of this test well is estimated to be $463,547. Accordingly, our share of these estimated costs will be approximately $ 4,635. It is anticipated that this test well will be drilled in fall of 2003.
If the test well is successful and we encounter sufficient quantities of oil or natural gas, the drilling participants will tie-in the well to nearby pipelines. We would then be entitled to receive 0.78% of all net revenue generated by the well. If the test well does not result in the discovery of commercial quantities of oil or gas, we will abandon our interest in the Tolar Property.
Hood County Prospect
Pursuant to a separate Farmout Agreement dated March 10, 2002, as amended, we paid $17,500 to International Oil & Gas, Inc. in consideration of it granting to us a 25% working interest and corresponding 19.5% net revenue interest in a 111.89 acre land parcel located in Hood County, Texas. One of our directors, James Michael Stewart, acts as president of International Oil & Gas, Inc.
In order to maintain our 25% working interest in the property, we are required to fund 25% of all costs associated with the drilling of a test well on the property. The cost of this test well is estimated to be $464,000. Accordingly, our share of these estimated costs will be approximately $116,000.
Our agreement with International Oil & Gas, Inc. requires us to commence, or cause to be commenced, the drilling of the well by February 15, 2004. Subject to our ability to raise sufficient financing for the test well, it is anticipated that this test well will be drilled in fall of 2003.
If the test well is successful and we encounter sufficient quantities of oil or natural gas, the drilling participants will tie-in the well to nearby
pipelines. We would then be entitled to receive 19.5% of all net revenue generated by the well. If the test well does not result in the discovery of commercial quantities of oil or gas, we will abandon our interest in the Hood County Prospect.
Location and History of Oil and Gas Properties
The Tolar Property and the Hood County Prospect are located approximately three miles south of the town of Tolar in southwestern Hood County, Texas. The area is bound by the Hood County line on the west and Highway 56 on the east. The north line is approximately one mile north of Highway 377 near Tolar, Texas and extends to the town of Paluxy on the south.
The site is located in the Fort Worth Basin that was formed by plate tectonic activity from the southeast as the South American plate pushed against the North American plate. This caused a bending down of the Texas Craton into a trench or basin. The entire region was submerged in water, and shales and limestones were deposited over the entire area. The organic rich fractured shales are a source and storage site for absorbed gas. The Barnett Shale, which underlies the Hood County properties, is the reservoir for continuous gas accumulation.
The Barnett Shale is a proven productive organic rich formation. The Southwest Tolar area is considered to be a probable and favorable Barnett Shale site due to the presence of faults, fractures, structures and good nearby Barnett Shale Zones.
Compliance with Government Regulation
Currently, governmental regulations do not materially restrict the exploration and development of oil and natural gas wells in Texas. However, the legal and regulatory framework that pertains to the Texas oil and gas industry may change. Uncertainty and new regulations could increase our costs of doing business and prevent us from becoming profitable.
The Texas Railroad Commission has enacted rules and regulations relating to plugging, abandonment, removal, disposal and restoration obligations that relate to oil and gas exploration. We will be responsible for our working interest share of these costs, which are included in the estimates of test well drilling expenses outlined above.
We will be required to register with the State of Texas in order to commence business operations in the state. The anticipated cost of the registration is $200.
Employees
We have no employees as of the date of this prospectus other than our three directors. None of our directors receive payment for their services.
Research and Development Expenditures
We have not incurred any research or development expenditures since our incorporation.
Subsidiaries
We do not have any subsidiaries.
Patents and Trademarks
We do not own, either legally or beneficially, any patents or trademarks.
Plan Of Operations
Our current business plan is to drill one test well on each of the Tolar Property and Hood County Prospect. Specifically, we anticipate spending the following over the next twelve months:
* $ 4,635, representing our portion of estimated costs associated with the drilling of a test well on the Tolar Property;
* $ 116,000 representing our portion of estimated costs associated with the drilling of a test well on the Hood County Prospect;
* $10,000 on professional fees, including legal and audit costs we expect to incur in connection with the filing of this registration statement;
* $5,000 on additional administrative expenses, including transfer agent costs, bank fees and office supply costs.
Total expenditures over the next twelve months are therefore expected to be approximately $180,000.
While we currently have sufficient cash on hand to cover our portion of anticipated drilling costs associated with the proposed test well for the Tolar Property, we will not be able to proceed with a test well on the Hood County Prospect without without additional financing.
We plan on proceeding with the Tolar Property and Hood County Prospect test wells in spring of 2003. However, the Hood County Prospect test well will be subject to us raising sufficient financing for our portion of anticipated expenses prior to that time.
Our cash reserves are not sufficient to meet our obligations for the next twelve-month period. As a result, we will need to seek additional funding in the near future. We currently do not have a specific plan of how we will obtain such funding; however, we anticipate that additional funding will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock. We may also seek to obtain a short-term loan from our president, although no such arrangement has, as yet, been made. At this time, we cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funding from the sale of our common stock or through a loan from our president to meet our obligations over the next twelve months. We do not have any arrangements in place for any future equity financing.
If we do not complete the exploration expenditures required under the farm-out agreement for the Hood County Prospect, we will lose all our interest in the property. If we do not secure additional financing to drill the test well, we may consider bringing in a joint venture partner to provide the required funding. We have not undertaken any efforts to locate a joint venture partner. In addition, we cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be
able to locate a joint venture partner who will assist us in funding the exploration of the Hood County Prospect. In such event, we would likely have to transfer or assign part of our interest in the property to the joint venture partner.
Results Of Operations For Period Ended December 31, 2002
We have not earned any revenues, other than nominal bank interest of $83, from our incorporation on May 2, 2001 to December 31, 2002. Our activities have been financed from the proceeds of share subscriptions and from advances from our president totalling $20,000. We do not anticipate earning revenues until such time as we have completed the test wells on the Tolar Property and Hood County Prospect. We can provide no assurance that we will discover commercially exploitable amounts or oil or gas on our properties.
We incurred operating expenses in the amount of $40,207 for the period from inception to December 31, 2002. These operating expenses consisted of cash payment of $12,500 relating to our acquisition of working interests in the Tolar Property and Hood County Prospect, legal and accounting fees totaling $ 7,665, consulting fees of $20,954, transfer agent fees of $1,333, licenses and permit fees of $297, bank charges of $158, oil and gas well operating expenses of $55 and office costs of $42.
We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue exploration activities. For these reasons our auditors stated in their report that they have substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern.
At December 31, 2002, we had assets recorded at $55,938 consisting of cash of $19,220 and a promissory note receivable of $36,718 from our former consultant. The note is a non-interest bearing demand note, which for accounting purposes, was valued using an interest rate of 12% over the expected collection period, estimated to be three years. During the period ended July 31, 2002, the consulting contract was terminated and the consultant agreed to pay back the $49,000 that was originally paid to him. The consultant is required to pay this amount upon demand. The amount due does not bear interest.
Our liabilities at December 31, 2002 totalled $24,500 and consisted of a non-interest bearing, demand loan of $20,000 from Strato Malamas, our president and accounts payable totalling $4,500.
Description Of Property
Our executive offices are located at 4526 Underwood Avenue, North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Mr. Strato Malamas, our president, provides this office space to us free of charge.

carrying more than 10% of the voting rights attached to our

Mr. Strato Malamas, our president and a director, has loaned a total of $20,000 to us for business operations costs. These loans have no fixed terms of repayment and accrue no interest. Mr. Malamas intends to request repayment of these loans when we are in a position to repay them.
Market For Common Equity And Related Stockholder Matters

2. our total assets would be less than the sum of our total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed to satisfy the rights of shareholders who have preferential rights superior to those receiving the distribution.

Indemnification Of Directors And Officers
Our officers and directors are indemnified as provided by the Delaware Revised Statutes and our bylaws.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CHARTERED ACCOUNTANTS
TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
OF GOENERGY, INC.
(A Pre-Exploration Stage Company)
We have audited the balance sheets of GoEnergy, Inc. (A Pre-Exploration Stage Company) as at July 31,2002 and 2001 and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the yearended July 31, 2002 and for the period from inception (May 2, 2001) through July 31, 2001. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinionon these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. 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. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, these financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at July 31, 2002 and 2001 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the periods referred to above in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
These financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.As discussed in note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has had no operations and has no established source of revenue and needs additional financing in order to complete its business plan. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

GOENERGY, INC.
(A Pre-Exploration Stage Company)
1. ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS The Company was incorporated May 2, 2001 in the State of Delaware and is in the pre-exploration stage. The Company has been primarily involved in organizational activities and has obtained an interest in certain oil and gas wells (note 8) and intends to carry out exploration work thereon.
2. GOING CONCERN The Company's financial statements are prepared using the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, the Company's current operating funds are less than necessary to complete the exploration of the optioned oil and gas interest, and therefore will need to obtain additional financing in order to complete its business plan. As of December 31, 2002, the Company had cash in the amount of $19,220.The Company does not have any operations nor does it have any income. Its business plan calls for significant expenses in connection with the exploration of its optioned oil and gas interest (note 8). The Company does not currently have any arrangements for financing and can not provide any assurance it will be able to find such financing if required. An alternative for the financing of further exploration would be the offering of an interest in the Company's oil and gas interest to be earned by another party or parties carrying out further exploration thereof, which is not presently contemplated. If the Company does not complete the required option payments mandated in its option, it will lose its interest in the Hood County, Texas well and its business will fail.
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Pre-exploration expenditures The Company is in the pre-exploration stage. All exploration expenditures are expensed as they are incurred.
(b) Net loss per share Net loss per share computations are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
(c) Financial instruments
The Company's financial instruments consist of cash, promissory note receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and amount due to shareholder. It is management's opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments and the carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate their fair values at the balance sheet dates.
Non-interest bearing notes receivable with no terms of repayment have been recorded in accordance with APB 21, whereby imputed interest is calculated over the expected period of collection of such notes (note 4).
(d) Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and would impact future results of operations and cash flows.
4. PROMISSORY NOTE RECEIVABLE AND COMMITMENT
At July 31, 2001, the Company was committed to pay $85,000 to an independent consultant to take the Company public. As at July 31, 2002, the Company had paid $49,000, of which $14,000 was paid during the year ended July 31, 2002 and $35,000 was paid during the period from inception (May 2, 2001) to July 31, 2001. The contract was terminated during the year ended July 31, 2002 and the consultant agreed to repay the Company $49,000. The $49,000 promissory note receivable is expected to be repaid within 3 years, and accordingly, imputed interest has been calculated at a rate of 12% over 3 years.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 31, July 31, 2002 2002 2001 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (unaudited) Non-interest bearing note $49,000 $49,000 $0 Less: Unamortied discount based on 3 years (12,282) (14,064) 0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
5. COMMON STOCK
In May, 2001, the Company issued 2.75 million shares of common stock at a price of $0.0002 per share to the founder of the Company for proceeds of $550 (note 9).
During the period from inception (May 2, 2001) to July 31, 2001, the Company also arranged a private placement of up to 2.75 million shares of common stock at $0.05 per share.All common stock issued under the private placement are "restricted securities" as defined in Rule 144 of the United States of America Securities Act of 1933. As of July 31, 2001, the Company had issued 1,566,293 common shares for proceeds of $78,315. As part of arranging the private placement, the Company was charged a finder's fee of $7,400 (note 9).
During the year ended July 31, 2002, as part of the private placement above, the Company issued 53,600 shares of common stock for proceeds of $2,680.
6. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
(a) During the year a shareholder, a director and the President of the Company, advanced funds to the Company in the way of a non-interest bearing demand loan for the Company to fulfill its operating obligations. Advances due to the shareholder at July 31, 2002 and December 31, 2002 amount to $20,000.
(b) Office space is provided by the president of the Company, free of charge.
(c) During the year ended July 31, 2002, the Company acquired certain resource interests from a company whose president is also a director of the Company (note 8).
7. INCOME TAXES
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 31, July 31, July 31, 2002 2002 2001 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Deferred tax asset (unaudited) Approximate net operating losses $28,000 $26,000 $35,500 Approximate tax rate 35% 35% 35% ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 9,800 9,100 12,500 Valuation allowance (9,800) (9,100) (12,500) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Deferred tax asset $0 $0 $0 =============================================================================== |
The valuation allowance reflects the Company's estimate that the tax assets, more likely than not, willnot be realized.
The Company has net operating losses of approximately $28,000 which will expire between 2021 and 2022.
8. EXPLORATION EXPENDITURES
(a) During the year ended July 31, 2002, the Company purchased from International Oil & Gas,Inc. ("International"), a Texas company, a 1% working interest and 0.78% net revenue interest in an oil and gas lease in the wellbore and production of the Mesa Wood No. 1 property, Texas. Total consideration was $7,500 and the Company is to bear 1% of the working interest costs.
(b) By letter agreement dated March 10, 2002, the Company acquired an option from International whereby the Company may acquire a 25% working interest and a 19.5% net revenue interest in an oil and gas well to be drilled in Hood County, Texas. Total consideration for this option is $10,000 and the Company is to bear all costs associated with the drilling, testing, completing and equipping of the well. Drilling must commence on or before October 31, 2002 and be completed within 120 days from commencement. The terms of payment of the consideration are as follows:
(i) payment of $2,500 upon signing of the agreement (paid);
(ii) payment of $2,500, on or before May 30, 2002 (paid); and
(iii) payment of $5,000 by the earlier of commencement of drilling and
October 31, 2002 (payment of the $5,000 by October 31, 2002 will
extend the date drilling must commence from October 31, 2002 to on
or before February 15, 2003). By an agreement dated February 13,
2003, between the Company and International, for consideration of
the $5,000 and an additional $2,500 (both amounts were paid February
27, 2003) the date the Company must commence drilling is extended to
February 15, 2004.
9. PRIOR PERIOD ADJUSTMENT
During the year ended July 31, 2002, the Company:
(i) issued, in error, 5.5 million common shares at $0.0001 instead of 2.75
million common shares at $0.0002 as stated in note 5;
(ii) collected $2,500 as consideration for a subscription agreement to issue
50,000 common shares. The common shares were recorded as issued as at
July 31, 2001. The subscription agreement was cancelled during 2001 and
the $2,500 was returned to the subscriber during the year ended July 31,
2002.
The 2.8 million common shares have been cancelled and retroactively restated as unissued shares.

If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto
6. MEANING OF CERTAIN TERMS. As used herein in respect of the right to notice of a meeting of stockholders or a waiver thereof or to participate or vote thereat or to consent or dissent in writing in lieu of a meeting, as the case may be, the term "share" or "shares" or "share of stock" or "shares of stock" or "stockholder" or "stockholders" refers to an outstanding share or shares of stock and to a holder or holders of record of outstanding shares of stock when the corporation is authorized to issue only one class of shares of stock, and said reference is also intended to include any outstanding share or shares of stock and any holder or holders of record of outstanding shares of stock of any class upon which or upon whom the certificate of incorporation confers such rights where there are two or more classes or series of shares of stock or upon which or upon whom the General Corporation Law confers such rights notwithstanding that the certificate of incorporation may provide for more than one class or series of shares of stock, one or more of which are limited or denied such rights thereunder; provided, however, that no such right shall vest in the event of an increase or a decrease in the authorized number of shares of stock of any class or series which is otherwise denied voting rights under the provisions of the certificate of incorporation, except as any provision of law may otherwise require.
7. STOCKHOLDER MEETINGS.
- TIME. The annual meeting shall be held on the date and at the time fixed, from time to time, by the directors, provided, that the first annual meeting shall be held on a date within thirteen months after the organization of the corporation, and each successive annual meeting shall be held on a date within thirteen months after the date of the preceding annual meeting. A special meeting shall be held on the date and at the time fixed by the directors.
- PLACE. Annual meetings and special meetings may be held at such place,
either within or without the State of Delaware, as the directors may, from time
to time, fix. Whenever the directors shall fail to fix such place, the meeting
shall be held at the registered office of the corporation in the State of
Delaware. The board of directors may also, in its sole discretion, determine
that the meeting shall not be held at any place, but may instead be held
solely by means of remote communication as authorized by Section 211(a)(2)
of the Delaware General Corporation Law. If a meeting by remote communication
is authorized by the board of directors in its sole discretion, and subject
to guidelines and procedures as the board of directors may adopt, stockholders
and proxyholders not physically present at a meeting of stockholders may, by
means of remote communication participate in a meeting of stockholders and be
deemed present in person and vote at a meeting of stockholders whether such
meeting is to be held at a designated place or solely by means of remote
communication, provided that (a) the corporation shall implement reasonable
measures to verify that each person deemed present and permitted to vote at
the meeting by means of remote communication is a stockholder or proxyholder,
(b) the corporation shall implement reasonable measures to provide such
stockholders and proxyholders a reasonable opportunity to participate in the
meeting and to vote on matters submitted to the stockholders, including an
opportunity to read or hear the proceedings of the meeting substantially
concurrently with such proceedings, and (c) if any stockholder or proxyholder
votes or takes other action at the meeting by means of remote communication,
a record of such vote or other action shall be maintained by the corporation.
- CALL. Annual meetings and special meetings may be called by the directors or by any officer instructed by the directors to call the meeting.
- NOTICE OR WAIVER OF NOTICE. Written notice of all meetings shall be given, which shall state the place, if any, date, and hour of the meeting, the means of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting, and in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. The notice of an annual meeting shall state that the meeting is called for the election of directors and for the transaction of other business which may properly come before the meeting, and shall (if any other action which could be taken at a special meeting is to be taken at such annual meeting) state the purpose or purposes. The notice of any meeting shall also include, or be accompanied by, any additional statements, information, or documents prescribed by the General Corporation Law. Except as otherwise provided by the General Corporation Law, the written notice of any meeting shall be given not less than ten days nor more than sixty days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting. If mailed, notice is given when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder at such
stockholder=s address as it appears on the records of the corporation. If a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time, place, if any, thereof, and the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such adjourned meeting are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At the adjourned meeting the corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than 30 days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. Whenever notice is required to be given under the Delaware General Corporation Law, certificate of incorporation or bylaws, a written waiver signed by the person entitled to notice, or a waiver by electronic transmission by the person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a stockholder at a meeting of stockholders shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the stockholder attends the meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the stockholders need be specified in any written waiver of notice or any waiver by electronic transmission unless so required by the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws.
- STOCKHOLDER LIST. The officer who has charge of the stock ledger of the corporation shall prepare and make, at least ten days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting for a period of at least ten days prior to the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the informationrequired to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of the meeting or during ordinary business hours at the principal place of business of the corporation. In the event that the corporation determines to make the list available on an electronic network, the corporation may take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is available only to stockholders of the corporation. If the meeting is to be held at a place, then the list shall be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. If the meeting is to be held solely by means of remote communication, then the list shall also be open to the examination of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required to access such list shall be provided with the notice of the meeting. The stock ledger shall be the only evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to examine the stock ledger, the list required by this section or the books of the corporation, or to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of stockholders.
- CONDUCT OF MEETING. Meetings of the stockholders shall be presided over by one of the following officers in the order of seniority and if present and acting - the Chairperson of the Board, if any, the Vice-Chairperson of the Board, if any, the President, a Vice-President, or, if none of the foregoing is in office and present and acting, by a chairperson to be chosen by the stockholders. The Secretary of the corporation, or in such Secretary's absence, an Assistant Secretary, shall act as secretary of every meeting, but if neither the Secretary nor an Assistant
Secretary is present the chairperson of the meeting shall appoint a secretary of the meeting.
- PROXY REPRESENTATION. Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders or to express consent or dissent to corporate action in writing without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by proxy, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after 3 years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. A stockholder may execute a writing authorizing another person or persons to act for such stockholder as proxy. Execution may be accomplished by the stockholder or such stockholder=s authorized officer, director, employee or agent signing such writing or causing such person=s signature to be affixed to such writing by any reasonable means including, but not limited to, by facsimile signature. A stockholder may also authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder as proxy by transmitting or authorizing the transmission of a telegram, cablegram, or other means of electronic transmission to the person who will be the holder of the proxy or to a proxy solicitation firm, proxy support service organization or like agent duly authorized by the person who will be the holder of the proxy to receive such transmission, provided that any such telegram, cablegram or other means of electronic transmission must either set forth or be submitted with information from which it can be determined that the telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission was authorized by the stockholder. If it is determined that such telegrams, cablegrams or other electronic transmissions are valid, the inspectors or, if there are no inspectors, such other persons making the determination shall specify the information upon which they relied. Any copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reliable reproduction of the writing or transmission created pursuant to Section 212(c) of the Delaware General Corporation Law may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing or transmission for any and all purposes for which the original writing or transmission could be used, provided that such copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reproduction shall be a complete reproduction of the entire original writing or transmission. A duly executed proxy shall be irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable and, if, and only as long as, it is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power. A proxy may be made irrevocable regardless of whether the interest with which it is coupled is an interest in the stock itself or an interest in the corporation generally.
- INSPECTORS. The directors, in advance of any meeting, may, but need not, appoint one or more inspectors of election to act at the meeting or any adjournment thereof. If an inspector or inspectors are not appointed, the person presiding at the meeting may, but need not, appoint one or more inspectors. In case any person who may be appointed as an inspector fails to appear or act, the vacancy may be filled by appointment made by the directors in advance of the meeting or at the meeting by the person presiding thereat. Each inspector, if any, before entering upon the discharge of duties of inspector, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector at such meeting with strict impartiality and according to the best of such inspector's ability. The inspectors, if any, shall determine the number of shares of stock outstanding and the voting power of each, the shares of stock represented at the meeting, the existence of a quorum, the validity and effect of proxies, and shall receive votes, ballots, or consents, hear and determine all challenges and questions arising in connection with the right to vote, count and tabulate all votes, ballots, or consents, determine the result, and do such acts as are proper to conduct the election or vote with fairness to all stockholders. On request of the person presiding at the meeting, the inspector or inspectors, if any, shall make a report in writing of any challenge, question, or matter
determined by such inspector or inspectors and execute a certificate of any fact found by such inspector or inspectors. Except as may otherwise be required by subsection (e) of Section 231 of the General Corporation Law, the provisions of that Section shall not apply to the corporation.
- QUORUM. The holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of stock shall constitute a quorum at a meeting of stockholders for the transaction of any business. The stockholders present may adjourn the meeting despite the absence of a quorum.
- VOTING. Each share of stock shall entitle the holder thereof to one vote. Directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors. Any other action shall be authorized by a majority of the votes cast except where the General Corporation Law prescribes a different percentage of votes and/or a different exercise of voting power, and except as may be otherwise prescribed by the provisions of the certificate of incorporation and these Bylaws. In the election of directors, and for any other action, voting need not be by ballot.
8. STOCKHOLDER ACTION WITHOUT MEETINGS. Except as any provision of the General Corporation Law may otherwise require, any action required by the General Corporation Law to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders, or any action which may be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. A telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission consenting to an action to be taken and transmitted by a stockholder or proxyholder, or by a person or persons authorized to act for a stockholder or proxyholder, shall be deemed to be written, signed and dated for the purposes of this section, provided that any such telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission sets forth or is delivered with information from which the corporation can determine that the telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission was transmitted by the stockholder or proxyholder or by a person or persons authorized to act for the stockholder or proxyholder and the date on which such stockholder or proxyholder or authorized person or persons transmitted such telegram, cablegram or electronic transmission. The date on which such telegram, cablegram or electronic transmission is transmitted shall be deemed to be the date on which such consent was signed. No consent given by telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission shall be deemed to have been delivered until such consent is reproduced in paper form and until such paper shall be delivered to the corporation by delivery to its principal place of business or an officer or agent of the corporation having custody of the book in which the proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded, to the extent and in the manner provided by resolution of the board of directors of the corporation.. Any copy, facsimile or other reliable reproduction of a consent in writing may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing for any and all purposes for which the original writing could be used, provided that such copy, facsimile or other reproduction shall be a complete reproduction of the entire original writing. Prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those stockholders who have not consented in writing.

In the event the Lease does not cover a full mineral interest or Farmor does not own all leasehold rights therein, then the carried working interest reserved to Farmor herein shall be proportionately reduced.
6. Wellbore Assignments. It is agreed and understood that Farmee is granted the right to earn an interest in the Lease INSOFAR AND ONLY INSOFAR as the Lease covers depths from the surface to one hundred feet (100') below the deepest depth drilled in each earning wellbore, and further, INSOFAR AND ONLY INSOFAR as the Lease covers and effects production of oil and gas from the applicable earning wellbore in accordance with this Agreement. For greater certainty, it is expressly stated that in the event Farmee is due an assignment from Farmor upon the successful drilling and completion of a well as a producer of oil and/or gas in paying quantities as provided in this Agreement, Farmee is being assigned an interest in the Lease only to the extent that the assignment of the Lease is legally required to facilitate ownership of the production of oil and gas from the applicable wellbore only. It is additionally provided that in the event any Railroad Commission of Texas forms require the Farmee to designate acreage for density, spacing, pro-ration or other purposes, Farmor and Farmee shall mutually agree upon the designation of such acreage which shall then be credited to Farmee for the limited purposes of Railroad Commission of Texas filings, but Farmee shall have no other rights in the Lease irrespective of the designation of same on the Railroad Commission of Texas filings by Farmee. Finally, Farmor and Farmee agree that any designation of acreage out of the Lease for the limited purposes of Railroad Commission of Texas filings shall never exceed forty (40) acres. Irrespective of any Wellbore Assignments made by Farmor to Farmee in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, Farmee shall have the right to independently develop all lands covered by the Lease, SAVE AND EXCEPT for the wellbore, and the oil and gas production therefrom, which are earned by Farmee in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any terms contained in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event of a conflict between the terms contained in this Section 6. and any other terms of the Agreement, the terms of this Section 6. shall prevail and control.
7. Pooling. Farmee may pool or unitize all or any part of the lands covered by the Lease with other lands or leases without the prior written consent of Farmor.
8. Operations. Farmee shall conduct all operations hereunder at Farmee's sole risk, cost and expense. All such operations shall be prosecuted with due diligence, in a good and workmanlike manner and without any unreasonable delay. When any well drilled hereunder reaches its projected total depth and has been adequately tested, Farmee shall either complete same as a producer or plug and abandon same in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations.
9. Assumption of Lease Obligations. Farmee shall commence and conduct all operations contemplated by this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of the Lease. If any well drilled hereunder is plugged and abandoned, Farmee shall

restore the surface of the land to substantially the same condition as before the commencement of operations thereon and to the satisfaction of the surface owner and/or tenant.
10. Failure to Drill. Farmee shall not be liable in damages to Farmor for failure to commence, drill, test, complete or equip Well (or any substitute well) as herein provided, but any such failure shall result in the loss to Farmee of all rights under this Agreement. The foregoing shall not be construed to restrict, preclude or limit any rights Farmor may have, in law or in equity, by virtue of Farmee's negligence or willful misconduct, or for any breach by Farmee of any other obligation under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the obligation to provide information to Farmor and to indemnify Farmor as hereinafter provided.
11. Indemnity. Farmee shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
law, protect, indemnify and hold Farmor harmless, free and clear of and from
all liens, claims, actions, liabilities, expenses and causes of action of every
kind, together with court costs and attorneys' fees, arising out of or in
connection with operations and activities conducted or caused by Farmee under
or pursuant to this Agreement, including all costs, expenses and obligations
of plugging and abandoning any well drilled hereunder; provided, however,
should Farmee become vested with a carried working interest as set forth in
Section 5.c. above, Farmor shall be responsible for its proportionate share
of costs associated with the plugging and abandoning of any such well.
12. Information. Farmor's authorized representatives shall at all times, at their sole risk and expense, have full and free access to the rig floor and to all information concerning any well drilled or reworked hereunder. Farmee shall keep an accurate and detailed log of each well drilled or reworked hereunder. Farmee shall also provide Farmor with a daily drilling report for each well drilled hereunder. Farmee shall also furnish to Farmor at no cost all information and data relating to each well hereunder including, without limitation, well files, logs, cores, samples, tests and production reports. All information relative to any wells drilled hereunder shall be kept confidential by Farmee and shall not be disclosed to any third parties, other than working interest participants therein, without the prior consent of Farmor.
13. Operating Agreement. Prior to the first sales of oil or gas production from the first well to be successfully completed as a producer of oil or gas hereunder, Farmor and Farmee shall enter into a mutually acceptable form of joint operating agreement ("JOA"). In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the JOA, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail and control.
