FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS  
 
This Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Reference is made in particular to the description of our plans and objectives for future operations, assumptions underlying such plans and objectives, and other forward-looking statements included in this report. Such statements may be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “believe,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “continue,” or similar terms, variations of such terms or the negative of such terms. Such statements are based on management's current expectations and are subject to a number of factors and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. Such statements address future events and conditions concerning, among others, capital expenditures, earnings, litigation, regulatory matters, liquidity and capital resources and accounting matters. Actual results in each case could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements by reason of factors such as future economic conditions, changes in consumer demand, legislative, regulatory and competitive developments in markets in which we operate, results of litigation and other circumstances affecting anticipated revenues and costs, and the risk factors set forth below under the heading “Risk Factors” and set forth in our Annual report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, filed on April 15, 2008.

As used in this Form 10-Q, “we,” “us” and “our” refer to American Petro-Hunter Inc., which is also sometimes referred to as the “Company.”

YOU SHOULD NOT PLACE UNDUE RELIANCE ON THESE FORWARD LOOKING
STATEMENTS

The forward-looking statements made in this report on Form 10-Q relate only to events or information as of the date on which the statements are made in this report on Form 10-Q. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, after the date on which the statements are made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. You should read this report and the documents that we reference in this report, including documents referenced by incorporation, completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect or hope.

1.
Nature and Continuance of Operations

American Petro-Hunter Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on January 24, 1996 as Wolf Exploration Inc. On March 17, 1997, Wolf Exploration Inc. changed its name to Wolf Industries Inc. On November 21, 2000, Wolf Industries Inc. changed its name to Travelport Systems Inc. On August 17, 2001, Travelport Systems Inc. changed its name to American Petro-Hunter Inc. The Company’s business offices are located in Blaine, Washington, USA.

The Company is evaluating the acquisition of certain natural resource projects with the intent of developing such projects. The Company focus is currently in locating and assessing potential acquisition targets, including real property, oil and gas companies.

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the United States generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company is at development stage and has no revenue, has limited assets and has accumulated deficits and comprehensive losses during the development period of $3,635,805 and requires additional funds to maintain its operations. Management’s plan in this regard is to raise equity financing as required. There can be no assurance that sufficient funding will be obtained. The foregoing matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.

2.
Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies used in the preparation of these financial statements.

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles.

The unaudited interim financial statements do not include all information and footnote disclosures required under United States generally accepted accounting principles. In management’s opinion, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position results of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit and cash flows as of September 30, 2008, and for all periods presented, have been included. Readers of these financial statements should note that interim results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for the fiscal year as a whole.

These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.
 
Foreign currency translation 

The Company’s functional currency is the Canadian dollar and its reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated to U.S. dollars in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 52 “Foreign Currency Translation” using the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at rates approximating exchange rates in effect at the time of the transactions. Certain translation adjustments are reported as a separate component of stockholders’ deficit, whereas gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the results of operations.

Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Income taxes

The Company adopted the SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. Pursuant to SFAS No. 109, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted or substantially enacted tax rates expected to apply to the taxable income in the periods in which those differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

Effective January 1, 2007, we adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. (“FIN”) 48, “Accounting for Uncertainties in Income Taxes”, an interpretation of SFAS No. 109. FIN 48 contains a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”.
 
Potential benefits of net operating losses have not been recognized in the financial statements because the Company cannot be assured that it will utilize the net operating losses carry-forwards in future years.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Stock-based compensation
 
Effective December 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123R, "Share-Based Payment,"("SFAS 123R"), which establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity's equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments.

The Company has not granted stock options in exchange for services during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007.

Net loss per share

The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per share” which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the ace of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. Common stock equivalents were not included in the calculation of diluted loss per share as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

Financial instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, taxes recoverable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, due to related parties, note payable and loan guarantee. Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, or credit risks arising form these financial instruments. The fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying values because of their relatively short-term maturities.

The Company operates outside of the United States of America and is exposed to foreign currency risk due to the fluctuation between the currency in which the Company operates in and the U.S. dollars.

Reclassifications

Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.

3.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The following recent accounting pronouncements are disclosed as they may be applicable to the Company’s operations and could have an impact on the Company’s financial statements:

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“SFAS 162”). SFAS No. 162 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. Prior to the issuance of SFAS 162, GAAP hierarchy was defined in the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”) Statement on Auditing Standards No. 69, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“SAS 69”). SAS 69 has been criticized because it is directed to the auditor rather than the entity. SFAS 162 addresses these issues by establishing that the GAAP hierarchy should be directed to entities because it is the entity, not its auditor, that is responsible for selecting accounting principles for financial statements that are presented in conformity with GAAP. SFAS 162 is effective 60 days following the SEC’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 does not expect SFAS 162 to have a material effect on its financial statements.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 is intended to improve transparency in financial reporting by requiring enhanced disclosures of an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities and their effects on the entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 applies to all derivate instruments within the scope of SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“SFAS 133”). It also applies to non-derivative hedging instruments and all hedged items designated and qualifying as hedges under SFAS 133. SFAS 161 is effective prospectively for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after 15 November 2008, with early application encouraged. The adoption of SFAS 161 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, Establishing the Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Liabilities (“SFAS No. 159”). SFAS No. 159 was to permit all entities to choose to elect, at specified election dates, to measure eligible financial instruments at fair value. An entity shall report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date, and recognize upfront costs and fees related to those items in earnings as incurred and not deferred. SFAS No. 159 applies to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, with early adoption permitted for an equity that has also elected to apply the provisions of SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. An entity is prohibited from retrospectively applying SFAS No. 159, unless it chooses early adoption. SFAS No. 159 also applies to eligible items existing at November 15, 2007 (or early adoption date). The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 159 could have on the Company’s financial statements.

Related Party Transactions

Amounts due to related parties are payable to a director of the Company, a former director of the Company, a company owned by a director of the Company, and a company owned by a former director and officer of the Company. All amounts due to related parties are non-interest bearing, unsecured and payable on demand.

During the nine month period ended September 30, 2008, the Company accrued and or paid management fees of $Nil (September 30, 2007 - $15,000) to a former director.

During the nine month period ended September 30, 2008, the Company paid a total of $27,024 (September 30, 2007 - $12,406) in consulting fees to two companies controlled by a former director and to a director.

In December 2007, the Company entered into a Management and Governance Consultant Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Sound Energy Advisors, LLC, an affiliated entity, whereby it was agreed that the consultant provide the Company with management and consulting services for a monthly fee of $2,500. The agreement was effective on December 1, 2007 and expires on November 30, 2009 and is subject to termination upon 30-day prior written notice by either party.
 
During the nine month period ended September 30, 2008, the Company incurred $22,500 in management and consulting expenses in connection with the Agreement.

During the nine month period ended September 30, 2008, the Company carried out a number of transactions with related parties in the normal course of business.

5.
Note Payable

On October 18, 2006, the Company entered into a promissory note agreement with VCF Capital Corp. (“VCF”) whereby VCF loaned the Company $25,000. The loan bears interest at 12% per annum, is collateralized by a general security arrangement over all of the Company’s assets and was payable in full on May 18, 2007.

This note payable was in default at September 30, 2008. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company accrued $2,259 and $2,811 respectively of interest expense which is included in general and administrative expenses.

Loan Guarantee

In 2004, the Company received a demand for payment from Canadian Western Bank (“CWB”) pursuant to a guarantee provided by the Company in favor of Calgary Chemical, a former subsidiary.

The Company divested itself of Calgary Chemical in 1998 under an agreement with a former president and purchaser. The agreements included an indemnity guarantee from the purchaser of Calgary Chemical, whereby the purchaser would indemnify and save harmless the Company from any and all liability, loss, damage or expenses.

During the nine month period ended September 30, 2008, the Company recorded a foreign exchange loss of $6,987 (September 30, 2007 – $Nil) related to this guarantee.

Upon receipt of the claim, the Company accrued the amount of the claim since in the opinion of legal counsel it is more likely than not that CWB would prevail in this action.

7.
Stockholders' Deficit
 
Common Stock Issued
 
During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company received full payment towards subscription to purchase 1,200,000 units at a price of $0.05 per unit. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2008, the Company issued these 1,200,000 units at a price of $0.05 per unit related to the share subscriptions received during the year ended December 31, 2007. Each unit consisted of one common share and one two-year share purchase warrant exercisable into common shares of the Company at a price of $0.15 per warrant.

In April 2008 the Company issued 600,000 units at a price of $0.05 per unit. Each unit consisted of one common share and one two-year share purchase warrant exercisable into common shares of the Company at a price at $0.15 per warrant.
 
Common Stock to be Issued

During the nine month period ended September 30, 2008, the Company received full payment of $40,000 towards subscriptions to purchase 800,000 units at a price of $0.05 per unit. Each unit consists of one common share and one share purchase warrant. Each whole share purchase warrant entitles the holder to purchase an additional common share at a price of $0.15 during the following three years.
 
As at September 30, 2008 all of the related share purchase warrants remain outstanding.

8.
Income Taxes 

The Company’s operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 resulted in losses, thus no income taxes have been reflected in the accompanying statements of operations.

As of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 the Company had the following deferred tax asset:

Income Taxes (continued)

As of  September 30, 2008, the Company has net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $3,636,000 (December 31, 2007 - $3,586,000) which may be used to reduce future income taxes payable and which expire between 2026 to 2027. Current Federal Tax Law limits the amount of loss available to offset against future taxable income when a substantial change in ownership occurs. Therefore, the amount available to offset future taxable income may be limited.

A valuation allowance has been recorded to reduce the net benefit recorded in the financial statements related to this deferred asset. The valuation allowance is deemed necessary as a result of the uncertainty associated with the ultimate realization of these deferred tax assets. The Company has concluded that it is more likely than not that it will not realize any deferred tax assets.

The provision for income taxes differs from the amount computed by applying the statutory federal income tax rate of 34% (2007 – 34%) to net loss for the year. The sources and tax effect of the differences are as follows:

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this quarterly report. Forward-looking statements are statements not based on historical information and which relate to future operations, strategies, financial results or other developments. Forward-looking statements are based upon estimates, forecasts, and assumptions that are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control and many of which, with respect to future business decisions, are subject to change. These uncertainties and contingencies can affect actual results and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by us, or on our behalf. We disclaim any obligation to update forward-looking statements.

Background

We were formed on January 24, 1996 pursuant to the laws of the State of Nevada under the name Wolf Exploration, Inc. with a business plan to acquire properties for precious metal exploration in the western United States. However, after considering several properties, we determined the properties identified were not suitable to fully implement an exploration and development project in the United States. In August 1996, we changed our management team and developed a new business plan to sell chemical products to the oil and gas industry. In 1998, we sold that business and developed a new business plan for the manufacturing and marketing of a dental color analyzer. Our plans to manufacture and sell the analyzer were delayed pending completion of research and development and by an action brought against us by AEI Trucolor. After settling that action, in August 2001, we changed our name to “American Petro-Hunter Inc.” and our focus to the exploration and eventual exploitation of oil and gas.
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. Having no sources of income, substantial doubt is raised about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Our plan of operations for the remainder of the fiscal year is to seek out potential oil and gas opportunities.  As of the date of this report, our management has evaluated several potential opportunities but deemed them unsuitable. Furthermore, as of the date of this report, there has been no decision to pursue any opportunity nor has any agreement been reached on even principal terms. We intend to continue to investigate the acquisition and development of natural resource projects.
 
Results of Operations

Comparison of Three and Nine month periods ended September 30, 2008 and September 30, 2007

For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008 and September 30, 2007, we incurred a comprehensive loss of $4,802 and $50,288 for 2008, and $48,175 and $138,291 for 2007, respectively. The improvement was largely attributed to more favorable foreign exchange rates.

General and administration expenses for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008, amounted to $21,400 and $79,614 compared to $21,740 and $78,138 in the same period of 2007. Executive compensation for the three and nine month periods is $Nil and $Nil compared to $4,500 and $15,000, respectively, in the same period of 2007.

We had a foreign currency gain of $16,958 and $29,326 during the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2008, respectively, compared to a loss of $21,935 and $45,153 in the same period of 2007. This was a result of more favorable exchange rates in 2008.

Period from inception, January 24, 1996 to September 30, 2008

We had an accumulated deficit during the development stage of $3,575,871.

As a development stage company, we currently have limited operations, principally directed at potential acquisition targets and revenue-generating opportunities.

Our management believes that we will be able to generate sufficient revenue or raise sufficient amounts of working capital through debt or equity offerings, as may be required to meet our short-term and long-term obligations. In order to execute on our business strategy, we will require additional working capital, commensurate with the operational needs of the opportunities we may pursue. Such working capital will most likely be obtained through equity financings until such time as acquired operations are integrated and producing revenue in excess of operating expenses. There are no assurances that we will be able to raise the required working capital on terms favorable, or that such working capital will be available on any terms when needed.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2008, we had cash of $169, and working capital deficiency of $461,412. During the three month period ended September 30, 2008, we funded our operations from the proceeds of private sales of equity and/or convertible notes. We are currently seeking further financing and we believe that will provide sufficient working capital to fund our operations for at least the next 6 months. Changes in our operating plans, increased expenses, acquisitions, or other events, may cause us to seek additional equity or debt financing in the future.

For the nine month period ended September 30, 2008, we used net cash of $105,364 in operations. Net cash from operating activities reflected a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $13,891.

We raised $70,000 during the nine month period ended September 30, 2008 from the issuance of common stock and warrants.

Our current cash requirements are minimal. We expect to continue to use cash to fund operations for at least the remaining of our fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, as we look to increase our operations.

We expect no significant change in the number of our employees.

Off-Balance Sheet Transactions

There are no off-balance sheet items.
 
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

None.
 
Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Our management with the participation and under the supervision of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined by Rule 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e)) of the Exchange Act Rule 13a-15 as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon their evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective and sufficient to ensure that we record, process, summarize, and report information required to be disclosed in the reports we filed under the Exchange Act within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and regulations, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting. We believe that a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within any company have been detected.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Factors That May Affect Our Business, Future Operating Results and Financial Condition

The risks described below are the ones we believe are the most important for you to consider, these risks are not the only ones that we face. If events anticipated by any of the following risks actually occur, our business, operating results or financial condition could suffer and the trading price of our common stock could decline.
 
Risks Relating to Our Business

We have a history of losses which may continue, which may negatively impact our ability to achieve our business objectives.

We have incurred net losses and other comprehensive losses of $3,635,805 for the period from January 24, 1996 (inception) to September 30, 2008. We cannot be assured that we can achieve or sustain profitability on a quarterly or annual basis in the future. Our operations are subject to the risks and competition inherent in the establishment of a business enterprise. There can be no assurance that future operations will be profitable. We may not achieve our business objectives and the failure to achieve such goals would have an adverse impact on us.

If we are unable to obtain additional funding our business operations will be harmed and if we do obtain additional financing our then existing shareholders may suffer substantial dilution.

We will require additional funds to initiate our oil and gas exploration activities, and to take advantage of any available business opportunities. Historically, we have financed our expenditures primarily with proceeds from the sale of debt and equity securities, and bridge loans from our officers and stockholders. In order to meet our obligations or acquire an operating business, we will have to raise additional funds. Obtaining additional financing will be subject to market conditions, industry trends, investor sentiment and investor acceptance of our business plan and management. These factors may make the timing, amount, terms and conditions of additional financing unattractive or unavailable to us. If we are not successful in achieving financing in the amount necessary to further our operations, implementation of our business plan may fail or be delayed.

Our independent auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, which may hinder our ability to obtain future financing.

In their report dated April 3, 2008, our independent auditors stated that our financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 were prepared assuming that we would continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is an issue raised as a result of recurring losses from operations. We continue to experience net operating losses. Our ability to continue as a going concern is subject to our ability to obtain necessary funding from outside sources, including obtaining additional funding from the sale of our securities. Our continued net operating losses increase the difficulty in meeting such goals and there can be no assurances that such methods will prove successful.

We have a limited operating history and if we are not successful in growing our business, then we may have to scale back or even cease our ongoing business operations.

We have yet to generate positive earnings from our current business strategy and there can be no assurance that we will ever operate profitably. Our company has a limited operating history in the business of oil and gas exploration and must be considered in the development stage. Our success is significantly dependent on a successful acquisition of an existing business. Our operations will be subject to all the risks inherent in the establishment of a developing enterprise and the uncertainties arising from the absence of a significant operating history. We may be unable to locate recoverable reserves or operate on a profitable basis. We are in the development stage and potential investors should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by enterprises in the development stage. If our business plan is not successful, and we are not able to operate profitably, investors may lose some or all of their investment in our company.

Our compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and SEC rules concerning internal controls may be time-consuming, difficult and costly for us.

It may be time consuming, difficult and costly for us to maintain, improve and implement our internal controls and reporting procedures policy as required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We may need to hire additional financial reporting, internal controls and other finance staff in order to further develop and implement appropriate internal controls and reporting procedures as we grow our business. If we are unable to comply with the internal controls requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, we may not be able to obtain the independent accountant certifications that the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires publicly-traded companies to obtain, and this would impact our ability to comply with SEC regulations governing public companies.

Risks Related to our Oil and Gas Exploration

If we are unable to successfully recruit qualified managerial and field personnel having experience in oil and gas exploration, we may not be able to execute on our business plan.

In order to successfully implement and manage our business plan, we will be dependent upon, among other things, successfully recruiting qualified managerial and field personnel having experience in the oil and gas exploration business. Competition for qualified individuals is intense. There can be no assurance that we will be able to find, attract and retain existing employees or that we will be able to find, attract and retain qualified personnel on acceptable terms.

Even if we are able to discover and produce oil, the potential profitability of oil and gas ventures depends upon factors beyond the control of our company.

The potential profitability of oil and gas properties is dependent upon many factors beyond our control. For instance, world prices and markets for oil and gas are unpredictable, highly volatile, potentially subject to governmental fixing, pegging, controls or any combination of these and other factors, and respond to changes in domestic, international, political, social and economic environments. Additionally, due to worldwide economic uncertainty, the availability and cost of funds for production and other expenses have become increasingly difficult, if not impossible, to project. These changes and events may materially affect our future financial performance. These factors cannot be accurately predicted and the combination of these factors may result in our company not receiving an adequate return on invested capital.

Competition in the oil and gas industry is highly competitive and there is no assurance that we will be successful in acquiring the leases.

The oil and gas industry is intensely competitive. We compete with numerous individuals and companies, including many major oil and gas companies which have substantially greater technical, financial and operational resources and staffs. Accordingly, there is a high degree of competition for desirable oil and gas leases, suitable properties for drilling operations and necessary drilling equipment, as well as for access to funds. We cannot predict if the necessary funds can be raised or that any projected work will be completed.

The marketability of natural resources will be affected by numerous factors beyond our control which may result in us not receiving an adequate return on invested capital to be profitable or viable.

The marketability of natural resources which may be acquired or discovered by us will be affected by numerous factors beyond our control. These factors include market fluctuations in oil and gas pricing and demand, the proximity and capacity of natural resource markets and processing equipment, governmental regulations, land tenure, land use, regulation concerning the importing and exporting of oil and gas and environmental protection regulations. The exact effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted, but the combination of these factors may result in us not receiving an adequate return on invested capital to be profitable or viable.

Oil and gas operations are subject to comprehensive regulation which may cause substantial delays or require capital outlays in excess of those anticipated causing an adverse effect on our company.

Oil and gas operations are subject to country-specific federal, state, and local laws relating to the protection of the environment, including laws regulating removal of natural resources from the ground and the discharge of materials into the environment. Oil and gas operations are also subject to country-specific federal, state, and local laws and regulations which seek to maintain health and safety standards by regulating the design and use of drilling methods and equipment. Various permits from government bodies are required for drilling operations to be conducted; no assurance can be given that such permits will be received. Environmental standards imposed by federal, state, provincial, or local authorities may be changed and any such changes may have material adverse effects on our activities. Moreover, compliance with such laws may cause substantial delays or require capital outlays in excess of those anticipated, thus causing an adverse effect on us. Additionally, we may be subject to liability for pollution or other environmental damages. To date, we have not been required to spend any material amount on compliance with environmental regulations. However, we may be required to do so in the future and this may affect our ability to expand or maintain our operations.

Exploration and production activities are subject to certain environmental regulations which may prevent or delay the commencement or continuation of our operations.

In general, our future exploration and production activities are subject to certain country-specific federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to environmental quality and pollution control. Such laws and regulations increase the costs of these activities and may prevent or delay the commencement or continuation of a given operation. Compliance with these laws and regulations has not had a material effect on our operations or financial condition to date. Specifically, we will be subject to legislation regarding emissions into the environment, water discharges and storage and disposition of hazardous wastes. In addition, legislation has been enacted which requires well and facility sites to be abandoned and reclaimed to the satisfaction of U.S. state authorities. However, such laws and regulations are frequently changed and we are unable to predict the ultimate cost of compliance. Generally, environmental requirements do not appear to affect us any differently or to any greater or lesser extent than other companies in the industry. We believe that our operations comply, in all material respects, with all applicable environmental regulations.

Our common stock may be subject to the penny stock rules which may make it more difficult to sell our common stock.

The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted regulations which generally define a “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price, as defined, less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities may 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 such as, institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or an individual with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with his or her spouse. For transactions covered by this rule, the broker-dealers must make a special suitability determination for the purchase and receive the purchaser’s written agreement of the transaction prior to the sale. Consequently, the rule may affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and also affect the ability of our stockholders to sell their shares in the secondary market.

Our management and stockholders may lose control of the Company as a result of a merger or acquisition.

We may consider an acquisition in which we would issue as consideration for the business opportunity to be acquired an amount of our authorized but unissued common stock that would, upon issuance, represent the great majority of the voting power and equity of the Company. As a result, the acquiring company's stockholders and management would control the Company, and our current management may be replaced by persons unknown at this time. Such a merger would result in a greatly reduced percentage of ownership of the Company by its current stockholders.

We have historically not paid dividends and do not intend to pay dividends.

We have historically not paid dividends to our stockholders and management does not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock to our stockholders for the foreseeable future. We intend to retain future earnings, if any, for use in the operation and expansion of our business.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

In August 2008, we completed an equity financing for 800,000 units at $0.05 per unit for total proceeds of $40,000 foreign accredited investors. Each unit is comprised of one share of our common stock and a warrant to purchase one share of our common stock at a price per share of $0.15 for a period of 3 years from the date of issuance.  We offered and sold our securities in reliance on Section 506 of Regulation D and/or Regulation S of the Securities Act, and comparable exemptions for sales to “accredited” investors under state securities laws.
