MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and other parts of this report contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements can also be identified by words such as "anticipates," "expects," "believes," "plans," "predicts," and similar terms. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and our actual results may differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in the subsections entitled "Forward-Looking Statements and Factors That May Affect Future Results and Financial Condition" and "Risk Factors" below. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto included in this report. Our fiscal year ends December 31. Business Star is an independent oil and natural gas producer involved in the exploration, development, production and sale of gas derived from properties located in Webb County, West Texas. We currently realize production from a total of five oil and gas wells each with a 15% working interest and a 12% net revenue interest. The wells are on five separate parcels of land spread over 425 acres of the Galvan Ranch. Depth of the producing intervals varies from 5,800 to 6,800 ft within the Olmos sand reservoir. The producing interval within the Olmos sand reservoir where Star's wells are located has an average thickness ranging from 75 to 100 feet with an average porosity ranging from 10 to 14%. On March 24, 2006 Star executed a letter of intent to acquire Terrabyte, LLC, an oil and gas exploration company headquartered in Allegan, Michigan. Subsequent to the three month period ended June 30, 2006, Star announced that the parties had not been able to reach a mutually acceptable definitive agreement and had ended all further negotiations. Strategy Star's short term strategy is to sustain a positive net cash flow from operations and debt or equity placements. Net cash flow will then be used to increase proved developed reserves and production. Star intends to focus on implementing improved production practices and recovery techniques in its efforts to sustain net cash flow from operations. Star believes that it can achieve reserve and production growth through the improved exploitation of its existing inventory of wells in Texas and through acquisition. Once Star sustains positive net cash flow, its long term strategy is to pursue selective acquisitions of additional oil or gas properties or exploration projects. Star has considered opportunities located in proximity to its current operations as well as other projects in North America. Star's business development strategy is prone to significant risks and uncertainties certain of which can have an immediate impact on its efforts to sustain a positive net cash flow and deter future prospects of production growth. Historically Star has not been able to generate sufficient cash flow from operations or financing efforts to sustain operations or fund exploration and development costs. Therefore, there can be no assurance that the wells currently producing will provide sufficient cash flows to maintain operations or that additional capital will be available to pursue our current strategy. Should we be unable to generate sufficient cash flow from existing properties or obtaining financing through alternative sources, Star may have to sell its properties or interests in order to remain in operation. 8 Star's financial condition, results of operations and the carrying value of its natural gas properties depends primarily upon the prices it receives for natural gas production and the quantity of that production. Natural gas prices historically have been volatile and are likely to continue to be volatile in the future. This price volatility can immediately affect Star's available cash flow which can in turn impact the availability of net cash flow for operations and future capital expenditures. A drop in oil and natural gas prices could also incur a write down of the carrying value of our properties as can a decrease in production. Star's future success will depend on the level of gas prices and the quantity of its production. Since production leads to the depletion of gas reserves, Star's ability to develop or acquire additional economically recoverable gas reserves is vital to its future success. Unless Star can obtain such additional reserves, its current production will continue to decline which will lead to a significant reduction in revenue. Further, estimates of reserves and of future net revenue may vary substantially depending, in part, on the assumptions made and may be subject to adjustment either up or down in the future. Actual amounts of production, revenue, taxes, development expenditures, operating expenses, and quantities of recoverable oil and gas reserves to be encountered may vary substantially from the engineer's estimates. Oil and gas reserve estimates are necessarily inexact and involve matters of subjective and engineering judgment. If these estimates of quantities, prices and costs prove inaccurate, and Star is unsuccessful in increasing its producing gas wells, and/or declines in and instability of gas prices occurs, then write downs in the capitalized costs associated with its gas assets may be required. While Star believes that the estimated proved gas reserves and estimated future net revenues are reasonable, there is no assurance that certain revisions will not be made in the future. Star believes that the immediate key to its ability to achieve profitably over the near term is an increase in oil and gas production through exploration, development or acquisition. Results of Operations During the six month period ended June 30, 2006, Star was engaged in evaluating the operating efficiencies of the purchased wells, overseeing the operation of its gas assets, and involved in negotiating and drafting the letter of intent and an agreement pertaining to Star's former intention to acquire Terrabyte, LLC. The operation and maintenance of Star's gas operations is wholly dependent on the services provided by Lewis. While the services provided by Lewis have proven adequate, the fact that Star is dependent on the operations of a third party to maintain its operations and produce revenue can restrict its ability to sustain net income. 9

Three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 Gross Revenue Gross revenue for the three month period ended June 30, 2006 was $10,445 as compared to $14,928 for the comparable period ended June 30, 2005, a decrease of 30%. Gross revenue for the six month period ended June 30, 2006 was $25,021 as compared to $25,021 for the comparable period ended June 30, 2005. The decrease in gross revenue over the comparative three month periods can be attributed to a decrease in the prices realized for gas production over the respective periods. Star expects to maintain relatively consistent gross revenues over future periods due to gradual increases in gas prices which Star expects to offset decreases in production. Net Income/Loss Net loss for the three month period ended June 30, 2006 was $44,206 as compared to net loss of $5,168 for the comparable period ended June 30, 2005, an increase of 755%. Net loss for the six month period ended June 30, 2006 was $52,977 as compared to net loss of $9,204 for the comparable period ended June 30, 2005, an increase of 476%. The increase of net loss over the comparative three and six month periods can be primarily attributed to an increase in general and administrative expenses. Star expects to decrease net losses over future periods. 10 Expenses General and administrative expenses for the three month period ended June 30, 2006 increased to $46,394 from $6,051 for the comparable period ended June 30, 2005, an increase of 667%. General and administrative expenses for the six month period ended June 30, 2006 increased to $64,807 from $15,541 for the comparable period ended June 30, 2005, an increase of 317%. The increases in general administrative expenses over the three and six month comparative periods are primarily attributed to costs associated with the intended acquisition of Terrabyte, LLC which included a $25,000 deposit paid to Terrabyte, LLC during the current period. Star anticipates that general and administrative expenses will decrease over future periods. Production costs for the three month period ended June 30, 2006 decreased to $7,373 from $12,937 for the comparable period ended June 30, 2005, a decrease of 43%. Production costs for the six month period ended June 30, 2006 decreased to $11,362 from $16,701 for the comparable period ended June 30, 2005, a decrease of 32%. Direct production expenses include the cost of maintaining the wells, access roads, miscellaneous expenses for soap, solvent, gasoline or electricity and expenses such as those incurred in swabbing, dozer work or rig time. The decrease in production costs over the three and six month comparative periods can be attributed to a decrease in maintenance expenses incurred by Lewis. Star expects that productions costs will remain relatively consistent in future periods. Depletion expenses for the three month periods ended June 30, 2006, and June 30, 2005 were $884 and $1,108 respectively. Depletion expenses for the six month periods ended June 30, 2006 and June 30, 2005 were $1,829 and $1,983 respectively. Income Tax Expense (Benefit) Star has an income tax benefit resulting from operations that will offset any operating profit. Impact of Inflation Star believes that inflation has had a negligible effect on operations over the past three years. Star believes that it can offset inflationary increases in maintenance costs by increasing revenue and improving operating efficiencies. Liquidity and Capital Resources Cash flow used in operations for the six month period ended June 30, 2006 was $40,977 as compared to cash used in operations of $5,666 for the comparable period ended June 30, 2005. The increase in cash flow used in operations over the comparative six month periods is primarily attributed to the increase in net loss due to an increase in general and administrative costs associated with the intended acquisition of Terrabyte, LLC. Star may continue to use cash flow in operations in future periods. Cash flow used in investing activities for the six month period ended June 30, 2006 was $0 as compared to $0 for the six month period ended June 30, 2005. Cash flow provided by financing activities was $30,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2006 as compared to cash flow provided by financing activities of $0 for the six month period ended June 30, 2005. The cash flow provided by financing activities in the current period is attributed to a note payable. 11 Star has a working capital deficit of $28,527 as of June 30, 2006 and has funded its cash needs since inception with revenues generated from operations, debt instruments and private placements. Anticipated cash flow may be sufficient to fund operations in 2006. However there can be no assurance that Star will generate sufficient cash flows to fund operations. Star had no lines of credit or other bank financing arrangements as of June 30, 2006. Since any earnings, if realized, are anticipated to be reinvested in operations, cash dividends are not expected to be paid in the foreseeable future. Commitments for future capital expenditures were not material at year-end. Star has no defined benefit plan or contractual commitment with any of its officers or directors. Star has no current plans for the purchase or sale of any plant or equipment. Star has no current plans to make any changes in the number of employees. Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates Accounting for Oil and Gas Property Costs. As more fully discussed in Note 1 to the Financial Statements included with Star's Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2005, Star (i) follows the successful efforts method of accounting for the costs of its gas properties, (ii) amortizes such costs using the units of production method, and (iii) evaluates its proven properties for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their net book value may not be recoverable. Adverse changes in conditions (primarily gas price declines) could result in permanent write-downs in the carrying value of gas properties as well as non-cash charges to operations that would not affect cash flows. Estimates of Proved Oil and Gas Reserves. An independent petroleum engineer annually estimates Star's proven reserves. Reserve engineering is a subjective process that is dependent upon the quality of available data and the interpretation thereof. In addition, subsequent physical and economic factors such as the results of drilling, testing, production and product prices may justify revision of such estimates. Therefore, actual quantities, production timing, and the value of reserves may differ substantially from estimates. A reduction in proved reserves would result in an increase in depreciation, depletion and amortization expense. Estimates of Asset Retirement Obligations. In accordance with SFAS No 143, Star makes estimates of future costs and the timing thereof in connection with recording its future obligations to plug and abandon wells. Estimated abandonment dates will be revised in the future based on changes to related economic lives, which vary with product prices and production costs. Estimated plugging costs may also be adjusted to reflect changing industry experience. Increases in operating costs and decreases in product prices would increase the estimated amount of the obligation and increase depreciation, depletion and amortization expense. Cash flows would not be affected until costs to plug and abandon were actually incurred. Forward Looking Statements and Factors That May Affect Future Results and Financial Condition The statements contained in sections titled "Management's Discussion and Analysis", with the exception of historical facts, are forward looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which reflect our current expectations and beliefs regarding our future results of operations, performance, and achievements. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties and are based upon assumptions and beliefs that may or may not materialize. These forward looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements concerning: 12 o the sufficiency of existing capital resources; o our ability to raise additional capital to fund cash requirements for future operations; o our ability to maintain sufficient energy reserves to fund and maintain operations; o uncertainties related to Star's future business prospects with possible future acquisitions; o the volatility of the stock market; and o general economic conditions. We wish to caution readers that Star's operating results are subject to various risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those discussed or anticipated in this report. We also wish to advise readers not to place any undue reliance on the forward looking statements contained in this report, which reflect our beliefs and expectations only as of the date of this report. We assume no obligation to update or revise these forward looking statements to reflect new events or circumstances or any changes in our beliefs or expectations, other that is required by law. Risks Related to Our Business Our future operating results are highly uncertain. Before deciding to invest in us or to maintain or increase your investment, you should carefully consider the risks described below, in addition to the other information contained in this annual report. If any of these risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be seriously harmed. In that event, the market price for our common stock could decline and you may lose all or part of your investment. We have a history of significant operating losses and such losses may continue in the future. Since our inception in 1999, our expenses have often exceeded our income, resulting in losses and an accumulated deficit of $39,311 at December 31, 2005, which accumulated deficit increased to $92,288 at June 30, 2006. We may continue to incur operating losses as revenues are likely to decline from depleted gas resources and expenses are likely to increase with aging wells. Our only expectation of future profitability is dependent upon our ability to acquire additional production revenue through exploration, development or acquisition. Star's success in this endeavor can in no way be assured. Natural gas prices are volatile. Any substantial decrease in prices would adversely affect our financial results. Star's future financial condition, results of operations and the carrying value of its natural gas properties depend primarily upon the prices it receives for natural gas production. Natural gas prices historically have been volatile and are likely to continue to be volatile in the future. Star's cash flow from operations is highly dependent on the prices that it receives for natural gas. This price volatility also affects the amount of Star's cash flow available for capital expenditures and its ability to borrow money or raise additional capital. The prices for natural gas are subject to a variety of additional factors that are beyond Star's control. These factors include: - the level of consumer demand for natural gas; - the domestic supply of natural gas; - domestic governmental regulations and taxes; - the price and availability of alternative fuel sources; - weather conditions; - market uncertainty; 13 These factors and the volatility of the energy markets generally make it extremely difficult to predict future natural gas price movements with any certainty. Declines in natural gas prices would not only reduce revenue, but could reduce the amount of natural gas that Star can produce economically and, as a result, could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations and reserves. Should the natural gas industry experience significant price declines, Star may, among other things, be unable to meet its financial obligations. Star's future performance depends on its ability to find or acquire additional oil or natural gas reserves. Unless Star successfully replaces the reserves that it produces, the defined reserves will decline, resulting in a decrease in natural gas production and lower revenues and cash flows from operations. Star has historically obtained reserves through acquisitions. The business of exploring for, developing or acquiring reserves is capital intensive. Star may not be able to obtain the necessary capital to acquire additional oil or natural gas reserves as cash flows from operations are reduced, and access to external sources of capital is unavailable. Should Star not make significant capital expenditures it will not be able to maintain its current production rates and expenses will overtake revenue which may lead to a cessation of operations. The results of our operations are wholly dependent on the production and maintenance efforts of Lewis. The operation and maintenance of Star's natural gas operations is wholly dependent on an independent local operator, Lewis. While the services provided by Lewis in the past have proven adequate for the successful operation of Star's natural gas wells, the fact that Star is dependent on operations of a third party to produce revenue from its natural gas assets could restrict its ability to generate a net profit on operations. The market for our stock is limited and our stock price may be volatile. The market for our common stock has been limited due to low trading volume and the small number of brokerage firms acting as market makers. Because of the limitations of our market and volatility of the market price of our stock, investors may face difficulties in selling shares at attractive prices when they want to. The average daily trading volume for our stock has varied significantly from week to week and from month to month, and the trading volume often varies widely from day to day. We may incur significant expenses as a result of being quoted on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board, which may negatively impact our financial performance. We may incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses as a result of being listed on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as related rules implemented by the Commission has required changes in corporate governance practices of public companies. We expect that compliance with these laws, rules and regulations, including compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 as discussed in the following risk factor, may substantially increase our expenses, including our legal and accounting costs, and make some activities more time-consuming and costly. As a result, there may be a substantial increase in legal, accounting and certain other expenses in the future, which would negatively impact our financial performance and could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. 14 Our internal controls over financial reporting may not be considered effective, which could result in a loss of investor confidence in our financial reports and in turn have an adverse effect on our stock price. Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, beginning with our annual report for the year ending December 31, 2007, we may be required to furnish a report by our management on our internal controls over financial reporting. Such report will contain, among other matters, an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting as of the end of the year, including a statement as to whether or not our internal controls over financial reporting are effective. This assessment must include disclosure of any material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting identified by management. The report will also contain a statement that our independent registered public accounting firm has issued an attestation report on management's assessment of internal controls. If we are unable to assert that our internal controls are effective as of December 31, 2007, or if our independent registered public accounting firm is unable to attest that our management's report is fairly stated or they are unable to express an opinion on our management's evaluation or on the effectiveness of our internal controls, investors could lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which in turn could cause our stock price to decline. ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES Star's chief executive officer and Star's chief financial officer are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures for Star. (a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act"), as of June 30, 2006. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and adequately designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the applicable rules and forms and that such information was accumulated and communicated to our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, in a manner that allowed for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. (b) Changes in Internal Controls During the period ended June 30, 2006, there has been no change in internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
