NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
1. OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
INTERIM REPORTING
The financial statements of the Registrant included herein have been prepared, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Although certain information normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States has been omitted, the Registrant believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Form 10-K of the Registrant for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 and subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The financial statements included herein reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of trends or of results to be expected for a full year.
2. GOING CONCERN
The Company’s financial statements have been presented on the basis that the Company is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The independent registered public accounting firm’s report on our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 included an explanatory paragraph that stated that we have experienced recurring losses from operations and that our limited capital resources raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. For the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 the Company’s statement of operations reflects a net loss from continued operations of $175,000 and $1,464,000, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 the Company’s statement of operations reflects a net income from continued operations in 2009 of $360,000 and a net loss from continued operations in 2008 of $48,000.
The Company’s ability to meet future cash and liquidity requirements is dependent on a variety of factors, including its ability to raise more capital, continues success of a newly producing well, the Sien #1, successfully negotiating extended payment terms and discounts with its creditors and successfully implementing its plans of restructuring for the Company. The presence of the going concern note may have an adverse impact on the Company’s relationship with third parties such as potential investors. If the Company is unable to continue as a going concern it would have to liquidate its remaining assets, if any.
3. SALE OF PROPERTY:
In February, 2008, the Company was successful in selling its McAllen West Prospect and received $358,000. The Company had costs of $300,000 associated with this prospect previously included in property and equipment on the Company’s balance sheet resulting in a $58,000 gain on sale of assets recognized in the Company’s statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2008.
On June 30, 2008, the Company sold its remaining furniture, computers, and equipment located in its Houston office space to Gulf Coast Drilling Company (“Gulf Coast”), an affiliate of BR Group for $50,000 in a non-cash transaction. This agreed sales price was applied to the Company’s liability to Gulf Coast for the excess of drilling advances received for the King Unit #1 well in 2006 over the actual amount of Gulf Coast’s participation for the costs attributable to the King Unit #1 well.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL OPERATIONS
Bayou City Exploration, Inc., (the “Company”), a Nevada corporation, was organized in November 1994, as Gem Source, Incorporated (“Gem Source”), and subsequently changed the name to Blue Ridge Energy, Inc. in May 1996. In September 2005, the Company changed its name to Bayou City Exploration, Inc.
The Company is engaged in the oil and gas business primarily in the gulf coast of Texas, east Texas, south Texas, and Louisiana. The Company develops oil and gas prospects for the drilling of oil and gas wells and attempts to sell the prospects to oil and gas exploration companies under terms that provide the participating company will provide the funds necessary to drill and complete a well on the prospect, reimburse the Company for any leasehold or exploration costs associated with the prospect, pay the Company a prospect fee for developing the oil and gas prospect, and allow the Company to retain a carried interest in the well to be drilled. The wells drilled by the Company included both exploratory and development wells.
The Company’s corporate headquarters are located at 632 Adams Street, Suite 700, Bowling Green, Kentucky 42101. Since April 3, 2007 Robert D. Burr has been the sole officer of the Company and has served as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company without compensation.
The Company seeks to sell a portion of the interest in each prospect it generates to an operator that will be responsible for the drilling and operating of the oil and gas properties. Currently, all the Company’s ownership in oil and gas wells is through non-operated royalty interests.
The Company’s financial statements have been presented on the basis that we are a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The independent registered public accounting firms’ report on our financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2008 includes an explanatory paragraph that states the Company has experienced recurring losses from operations and its limited capital resources raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
The Company plans to pursue other sources of capital through either the issuance of debt or equity securities. The Company also owns a royalty interest in the Sien #1 well which went into production in November of 2008 and is currently producing cash flows sufficient to cover its ongoing operations.
At the end of February, 2008, the Company reduced its exploration budget by terminating its monthly contract payment arrangement with the two remaining contract geological staff located in Houston, Texas. With the Sien #1 well cash flow, the Company is currently looking to reorganize its business plan and negotiate settlements with its creditors in order to produce a long term business model.
The Company’s office lease in Houston Texas expired June 30, 2008 which completed the Company’s move from the Houston office space to the new corporate headquarters in Bowling Green, Kentucky. The Company sold its remaining furniture, computers, and equipment located in the Houston office space to Gulf Coast Drilling Company (“Gulf Coast”), an affiliate of BR Group for $50,000 in a non-cash transaction. This agreed sales price was applied to the Company’s liability to Gulf Coast for the excess of drilling advances received for the King Unit #1 well in 2006 over the actual amount of Gulf Coast’s participation for the costs attributable to the King Unit #1 well.
During the First quarter of 2009, the Company was successful in reaching settlement or payout arrangements with many of its vendors. Negotiations are still in progress with several other vendors in an attempt to reach terms of settlement or a payout plan regarding the Company’s current accounts payable. A gain of $166,000 was recognized in the first quarter of 2009 due to these negotiations.

Table of Contents

In prior years the Company has financed much of its operations through the sale of securities. For the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 the Company sold no shares of common stock and no warrants or options were exercised.
As of March 31, 2009, the Company had total assets of $183,000, total liabilities of $901,000 and a stockholders’ equity deficit of $718,000. The Company had a net income of $360,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and net loss of $48,000 for the same period in 2008. The net income per common share was $0.01 per share during the three months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to a net loss of $0.00 during the same period in 2008. All per share data in this report has been adjusted to give effect to applicable stock issues and conversions.
All of the Company’s periodic report filings with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, are available through the SEC web site located at www.sec.gov, including our annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and any amendments to those reports. The Company will also make available to any stockholder, without charge, copies of its Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC and a copy of its Code of Ethics. For copies of this, or any other filings, please contact: Robert D. Burr at Bayou City Exploration, Inc., 632 Adams Street — Suite 700, Bowling Green, KY 42101 or call (800)-798-3389.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTIES
During the three months ended March 31, 2009 one of the Company’s two producing wells, the Pedigo #1, went dry and will be plugged and abandoned in the second quarter of 2009. No new wells were drilled by the Company in the first quarter of 2009. During 2008, the Company did not participate in the drilling of any new wells.
The following are the primary properties held by the Company as of March 31, 2009:
Key Developed Properties:
Sien #1: The Company owns an 8.1% royalty interest in 1 well located in Arkansas County, Texas which began producing in the third quarter of 2008. The well produces approximately 7000 Mcf per and 135 Bbls of oil per day.
Key Undeveloped Properties:
At this time the Company has no undeveloped properties under lease.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2009 AND 2008
The Company had a net income of $360,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to a net loss of $48,000 for the same period in 2008. The income per common share was $0.01 per share during the first quarter of 2009 compared to a loss of $0.00 per share during the first quarter of 2008. The increase in the income per share was a result of the Sien #1 well production commencing in the last quarter of 2008.
OPERATING REVENUES
Operating revenues from oil and gas sales were $283,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to $5,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2008 due to the much higher production of the Sien #1 well as compared to the Pedigo #1 well from last year.
DIRECT OPERATING COSTS
Direct operating costs are reflected as lease operating expenses and production taxes on the company’s statement of operations and were $24,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to $6,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2008. The increase is simply a result of the increased production in the first quarter of 2009.

Table of Contents

EXPLORATION COSTS
Exploration costs during the first quarter of 2009 were $-0- as compared to $13,000 in the first quarter of 2008. At the end of February, 2008, the Company reduced its exploration budget by terminating its monthly contract payment arrangement with the two remaining contract geological staff located in Houston, Texas. The Company continued a consulting agreement arrangement with one of the independent geological staff contract persons which allowed the consultant to use its Houston office space as long as it was available. Thereafter the consultant is responsible for providing his work space at his own expense. The Houston office lease expired and was vacated by the Company as of June 30, 2008. The Company continues to furnish geophysical data under its Eco Geophysical license to the independent contract geologist for the development of prospects; however the contract geologist will be paid a prospect fee only for each prospect accepted by the Company.
OTHER OPERATING EXPENSES
The Company’s general and administrative expenses decreased to $53,000 for the first quarter 2009 as compared to $67,000 for the first quarter of 2008. The decrease is a result of the decision by management to move the headquarters to Bowling Green Kentucky and close down the Houston office on June 30, 2008.
INCOME TAX PROVISION
Consistent with the prior period, the Company did not record a provision for income taxes due to the sufficient net operating loss carry forwards available via the federal income tax carry forward provisions. A valuation allowance continues to be recorded due to the uncertainty regarding the Company’s ability to utilize the deferred tax assets.
CAPITAL RESOURCES AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
The Company’s current ratio (current assets / current liabilities) was .21 to 1 as of March 31, 2009 compared to .17 to 1 as of December 31, 2008. This slight increase is mainly the result of the Companies ability to settle many of its outstanding liabilities at a substantial discount during the first quarter of 2009.
The Company’s primary source of cash during the first three months of 2009 was from the production of the Sien #1 well. At this point it is unclear as to the total potential reserves of this well, therefore future cash flows and duration of those cash flows cannot be know with any degree of certainty.
Our financial statements have been presented on the basis that we are a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The independent registered public accounting firms’ report on our financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2008 includes an explanatory paragraph that states the Company has experienced recurring losses from operations and its limited capital resources raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
The Company’s ability to meet future cash and liquidity requirements is dependent on a variety of factors, including our ability to raise more capital, successfully negotiate extended payment terms with our creditors and implement our plans of restructuring as described above. The presence of the going concern note may have an adverse impact on our relationship with third parties such as potential investors. If we are unable to continue as a going concern we would have to liquidate our remaining assets, if any.

ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15 (e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act) promulgated thereunder, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Acting Chief Financial Officer (ACFO) evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2009 (the “Evaluation Date”).

We did not effect any change in our internal controls over financial reporting as of March 31, 2009 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
