Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Board of Directors and Stockholders

Big Sky Energy Corporation

Almaty, Kazakhstan

We have reviewed the condensed consolidated balance sheet of Big Sky Energy Corporation as of March 31, 2005, and the related condensed consolidated statements of operations and deficit, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the three-month period ended March 31, 2005, included in the accompanying Securities and Exchange Commission Form 10-QSB/A1 for the period ended March 31, 2005.  We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters.  It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole.  Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

As discussed in Notes 26, 27 to the condensed consolidated financial statements the interim financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2005 have been restated to correct errors in accounting for certain liabilities (Note 26) and stock – based compensation (Note 27).

PART I

Big Sky Energy Corporation (“Big Sky” or the “Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 3 to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB/A for the year ended March 31, 2005 (this “Amendment”) to reflect the amendment and restatement of its Consolidated Financial Statements for the interim period ended March 31, 2005 to reflect adjustments determined to be necessary as a result of an error in the calculation of compensation expense relating to certain shares of common stock issued to the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer under the Stock Awards Plan .

The Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB for the period ended March 31, 2005, Amendment No.1 on Form 10-QSB/A and Amendment No.2 on Form 10-QSB/A were initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 23, 2005, November 15, 2005 and December 2, 2005 respectively. This Amendment No. 3 on Form 10-QSB/A is being filed to reflect restatements of the following financial statements:

•

Consolidated balance sheets as at March 31, 2005:

•

Consolidated statements of operations and deficit for the period ended March 31, 2005;

•

Consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity for the period ended March 31, 2005;

•

Consolidated statements of cash flows for the period ended March 31, 2005;

•

and to make certain conforming changes.

Big Sky Energy Corporation is filing this amendment to its Form 10-QSB of March 31, 2005 - for the following reason:

Subsequent to the issuance of the Company’s unaudited March, 31 2005 financial statements Amendment No.1 on Form 10-QSB/A, the Company’s management determined that its calculation of the compensation cost for the 750,000 shares of common stock issued on March 9, 2005 under the Stock Awards Plan to the Chief Executive Officer (500,000 shares) and the Chief Financial Officer (250,000 shares) at a deemed price of $0.50 per share for net compensation costs of $375,000 was incorrect and that the shares of common stock should have been issued at $1.10, which was the market rate at the date of grant, for net compensation costs of $825,000. Issuing the shares at a price $0.60 below the market value at the date of grant resulted in an understatement of compensation costs and therefore an understatement of net loss and loss per share reported on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Deficit for the period ended March 31, 2005 inclu ded in the March 31, 2005 Form 10-QSB Amendment No. 1 in the amounts of $450,000 and $0.01 respectively.  The error also resulted in an understatement of the “Additional Paid-in Capital” and the Deficit Accumulated During the Development Stage” accounts on the Consolidated Statements of Stockholder’s Equity and the Consolidated Balance Sheets included in the March 31, 2005 Form 10-QSB Amendment No. 1 in the amounts of $450,000. The error described above also resulted in an understatement of the “Net Loss from Continuing Operations” and the “Non-Cash Stock Compensation” accounts on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the period ended March 31, 2005 included in the March 31, 2005 Form 10-QSB Amendment No. 1 in the amount of $450,000.  The relating statements and disclosures have been adjusted to correct these misstatements.

The Form 10-QSB as initially filed on May 23, 2005 was not reviewed by either our former or current independent registered public accounting firms.  This amendment has been submitted for review to our current independent registered public accounting firm and review letter evidencing such review is included herewith.

(Expressed in United States Dollars)

1.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The condensed consolidated amended and restated financial statements included herein have been prepared by Big Sky Energy Corporation  (the “Corporation”) without audit in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.  These amended and restated financial statements are condensed and do not include all disclosures required for annual financial statements and accordingly, these amended and restated financial statements and the notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2004.  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  In the opinion of management, these amended and restated financial statements reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary to present fairly the Corporation’s condensed financial position at March 31, 2005 and the condensed consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004.

NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Late in 2003, the Corporation began investing in oil and gas assets in addition to its Internet service business in China, a transition which concluded December 9, 2004 from selling Big Sky Network Canada Ltd., to become an oil and gas exploration and production company. The Corporation acquired KoZhaN and Vector Energy West.  By acquiring these companies the Corporation gained a significant acreage position in the prolific pre-Caspian basin of western Kazakhstan, located close to infrastructure and transportation.   

In the fourth quarter of 2004, the Corporation spudded its first well, Morskoe # 10. The drilling completion and the testing of Morskoe #10 will be followed by the drilling or working over of additional wells offsetting Morskoe #10.

The Corporation is also intent on farming out selected high risk exploration targets.  Initially, the Corporation focused its partnership initiatives on China’s major national oil and gas production and service companies and since has expanded its farm out discussions to include established multinational energy companies.

The Corporation believes that these activities will lead to a sustainable platform on which to build the Corporation in Kazakhstan. In addition to building a base in Kazakhstan, the Corporation is trying to secure additional licenses in other countries, using the diverse expertise of its officers and consultants.

The Corporation raised over US$12 million of new common equity in 2004 and an additional $13.7 million in February 2005. While access to the capital markets is always subjective, the current levels of energy prices support investor interest in financing new projects. The Corporation is basing its growth strategies on attaining a sustainable level of cash flow from low risk energy development of existing licenses while securing additional licenses subject to available financing on economic terms.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Accounting policies as disclosed in the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2004 have not changed.

Basis of Presentation

These consolidated amended and restated financial statements include the accounts of the Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Big Sky Energy Kazakhstan (BSEK) and Big Sky Energy Atyrau (BSEA).

12

The equity method of accounting is used for companies in which the Corporation has significant influence, which generally means common stock ownership of at least 20% and not more than 50%. The Corporation used the equity method to account for its joint venture investments in the Shekou JV (which was sold in 2002) and the Chengdu JV (sold in 2004). Big Sky Network Canada Ltd. (BSN) was accounted for as a majority-controlled subsidiary until April 25, 2000. For the period April 26, 2000 to September 28, 2000, while the Corporation owned 50% of BSN, BSN was accounted for using the equity method.  For the period since September 29, 2000, BSN has been accounted for as a wholly owned subsidiary and all material inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated. On December 9, 2004 BSN was sold.

Stock-based compensation

The Corporation applies the intrinsic value method allowed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees ("APB 25") in accounting for its stock option plans. Under APB 25, compensation expense resulting from awards under variable plans is measured at each reporting period as the difference between the quoted market price and the exercise price; the cost is recognized over the period the employee performs related services.

The following table illustrates the effect on net loss and loss per share if the Corporation had applied the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to stock-based employee compensation.

		Three Months Ended March 31,
		2005	2004
		$	$
Net loss, as reported		(2,485,476)	806,959
Add: Stock-based employee compensation
	expense included in reported net loss,
	net of related tax effects	825,000	152,103
Deduct: Total stock-based employee
	compensation expense determined under fair
	value-based method for all awards, net of
	related tax effects	(825,000)	(13,421)
Pro-forma net loss		(2,485,476)	668,277
Net loss per share:
	Basic and diluted – as reported	(0.03)	(0.02)
	Basic and diluted – pro forma	(0.03)	(0.02)

The fair value of stock options used in computing the pro forma net loss and basic loss per common share was estimated at grant date, determined by the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

	2005	2004
Dividend yield	0%	0%
Expected volatility	387%	190%
Risk free interest rate	3.5%	3.93%
Expected option life	3 years	5 years

Net loss per share

Basic loss per share ("EPS") excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock (warrants to purchase common stock and common stock options) were exercised or converted into common stock, using the treasury stock method.

13

Potential shares of common stock in the diluted EPS computation are excluded in net loss periods, as their effect would be anti-dilutive. In 2005, 16,317,995 options and warrants were excluded in the calculation of net loss per share. In 2004, 7,267,315 options and warrants were excluded from the diluted EPS calculation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates could include the allowance for potentially uncollectible accounts receivable and a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Impact of Recent and Pending Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2004, the FASB issued an exposure draft of a proposed statement, “Fair Value Measurements” to provide guidance on how to measure the fair value of financial and non-financial assets and liabilities when required by other authoritative accounting pronouncements. The proposed statement attempts to address concerns about the ability to develop reliable estimates of fair value and inconsistencies in fair value guidance provided by current U.S. GAAP, by creating a framework that clarifies the fair value objective and its application in GAAP. In addition, the proposal expands disclosures required about the use of fair value to re-measure assets and liabilities. The standard would be effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The Corporation is reviewing The Exposure Draft to determine the potential impact, if any, on its consolidated financial statements.

In November 2004, the EITF ratified Issue No. 03-13, “Applying the Conditions in Paragraph 42 of FASB Statement No.144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, in Determining Whether to Report Discontinued Operations”. The EITF reached a consensus that classification of a disposed of or held-for-sale component as a discontinued operation is only appropriate if the ongoing entity (i) expects to have no continuing “direct” cash flows, and (ii) does not retain or expect to retain an interest, contract or other arrangement sufficient to enable it to exert significant influence over the disposed component’s operating and financial policies after the disposal transaction. Application of this consensus did not have a material impact on the Corporation’s consolidated amended and restated financial statements.

In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, “Inventory Costs”, to clarify that abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and wasted materials (spoilage) should be recognized as current-period charges, and to require the allocation of fixed production overheads to inventory based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. The guidance is effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. Earlier application is permitted. The Corporation does not believe there will be a material impact on it’s financial position, results of operations or cash flow from operations.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment”, that will require compensation costs related to share-based payment transactions to be recognized in financial statements. With limited exceptions, the amount of compensation cost will be measured based on the grant-date fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. In addition, liability awards will be re-measured each reporting period. Compensation cost will be recognized over the period that an employee provides service in exchange for the award. The standard replaces SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”. It is effective for small business issuers for the first interim or annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2005, meaning that the Corporation will apply the guidance to all employee awards of share-b ased payment granted, modified or settled in the first quarter of 2006. The Corporation is reviewing the standard to determine the potential impact, if any, on its consolidated amended and restated financial statements.

In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement 153, Exchanges of Non-monetary Assets, an amendment of APB Opinion 29, Accounting for Non-monetary Transactions. This amendment eliminates the exception for non-monetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of non-monetary assets that do not have commercial substance. Under Statement 153, if a non-monetary exchange of similar productive assets meets a commercial-substance criterion and fair value is determinable, the transaction must be accounted for at fair value resulting in recognition of any gain or loss. This statement is effective for non-monetary transactions in fiscal periods that begin after June 15, 2005. The Corporation is reviewing the guidance to determine the potential impact, if any, on its consolidated amended and restated financial statements.

CONTINUING OPERATIONS

These consolidated amended and restated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Corporation has acquired an oil and gas business and must make certain capital expenditures during the course of the next year and future years (see Note 24). The Corporation's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate profitable operations in the future and to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with any certainty at this time. These consolidated amended and restated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should the Corporation be unable to continue as a going concern.

During 2004, the Corporation utilized cash for management and corporate administrative activities of approximately $200,000 per month. In 2005, corporate and administrative costs will be higher due to increased business activity in Kazakhstan. Taking into account prepaid lease rentals for office space, monthly expenditures for corporate and administrative costs are estimated at $400,000 per month. Management anticipates that the Corporation currently has sufficient working capital to fund this level of operations through December 2006. Current cash resources are not anticipated to be sufficient to fund the next phase of the Corporation’s development, including its expansion in the oil and gas business, and it will consider seeking additional private equity or debt financing. There can be no assurances that any such funds will be available, and if funds are raised, that they will be sufficient to achieve the Corporation&# 146;s objective, or result in commercial success. The Corporation cannot assure you that it will be able to obtain sufficient capital to satisfy all of its obligations or that its operating subsidiaries will be commercially successful.

The ability of the Corporation to survive will depend on its ability to finance, acquire, explore for and produce oil and natural gas on a profitable basis.

The Corporation's operations may also be adversely affected by significant political, economic and social uncertainties in Kazakhstan and in other countries in which it may acquire oil and gas operations. Kazakhstan has emerged from the former Soviet Union with a viable, independent economy and is open to foreign investment. Kazakhstan is rich in a variety of minerals and raw materials. The economy is evolving from centrally planned towards a free market. Government policies favoring foreign investment may change, commodity prices may decline and political disruptions may occur in the region. These factors may impact the Corporation’s ability to conduct its business, the results of its operations and its financial condition and its right to pay dividends.

Big Sky Energy Kazakhstan Ltd.

On January 12, 2004, the Corporation acquired   100% of the issued and outstanding share capital of BSEK.  The Corporation issued 8,000,000 shares of common stock at a deemed price of $0.286 per share, being the trading price of the Corporation’s shares at the date of announcing the transaction, for total consideration including transaction costs of $2,288,000. Among the sellers of the BSEK shares, was a company which held 80% of those shares and which was wholly-owned by Kai Yang, the brother of the Corporation’s President, and of which Matthew Heysel, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation, and Daming Yang, President of the Corporation, were directors and senior officers of BSEK at the time.  BSEK holds a 90% interest in KoZhaN, which holds the rights to explore for and produce oil and natural gas from three properties in the Republic of Kazakhstan.  The acquired net assets of BSEK and consideration given were as follows:

Oil and gas properties	$	6,341,710
Other capital assets		3,424

15

Results of operations of BSEK have been included in the consolidated statement of operations of the Corporation from the period January 12, 2004 to March 31, 2004.

On January 30, 2004, BSEK entered into a subscription and escrow agreement with a third-party to issue common shares from treasury to this third-party.  The shares were being held in escrow pending receipt of the full amount of the subscription proceeds totaling $2,300,000.  On June 28, 2004, the subscription agreement was cancelled and the $250,000 deposit, which had been received in the third quarter of 2003, was refunded.  

Royalty Interest

On March 4, 2004, the Corporation issued 681,475 shares of common stock to IbrizOil Inc. (“Ibriz”), an Alberta corporation, as consideration for the purchase of a royalty interest in the net revenues of BSEK at a cost of $415,700. These shares were valued at $415,700 based on an average closing price of $0.61 from February 20 – 26, 2004. The purchase price was determined based on the results of the valuation report performed by an independent, third party petroleum engineering company. The royalty interest amounts to 5% of BSEK’s net share of the earnings of its 90%-held subsidiary company, KoZhaN. At the time of this transaction, Mr. Van Doorne, who is a director and the Chief Executive Officer of Ibriz, was also our Executive Vice President and the Managing Director of BSEK.  The acquisition of the royalty interest has been accounted for as an increase in oil and gas property.

Vector Energy West LLP

SHORT-TERM INTEREST FREE LOAN FROM ABT LTD

On October 12, 2004, KoZhaN entered into two (2) agreements with ABT Ltd. LLP – an Agreement on Partial Transfer of the Subsoil Use Right (the “Transfer Agreement”) and Agreement No. 1. (“Agreement No. 1”). These two (2) agreements set the terms and conditions of the transfer by KoZhaN of forty-five percent (45%) of its interest in the subsoil use right in the Morskoe oil field (the “Interest”).

17

Pursuant to Agreement No. 1, ABT is providing consideration for the Interest that consists of performance of certain construction works and up to 50% of the costs incurred in connection with Well No. 10 in the Morskoe oil field that are not deemed to be associated with the “drilling works” of such well.

Also pursuant to Agreement No. 1, ABT agreed to provide a loan of up to $550,000 for the drilling works associated with Well No. 10. “Drilling works” was defined as all costs associated with the drilling, completing, equipping, coring, logging, perforating and test of Well No. 10. This loan is required to be repaid only in the case of discovery of oil and production from the Morskoe oil field.

The transfer of the Interest is subject to approval by the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources of Kazakhstan (the “MEMR”), which has not yet been received.

The Company has recorded the amount of $840,423 paid by ABT in performance of the construction works and the amount of $86,160 paid by ABT as its 50% portion of costs incurred in connection with Well No. 10 that are not deemed to be drilling works, as an amounts loaned to the Company by ABT. In the event that the transfer of the Interest is approved by the MEMR, these amounts will be converted into amounts received as consideration for the Interest transferred to ABT.

The amounts received from ABT towards the drilling works, which as of December 31, 2004, equaled $500,000, have been recorded by the Company as a loan, to be repaid from production. In the event that no oil is discovered or produced by the Company from the Morskoe oil field, this loan will be removed from the Company’s records as a forgiven loan pursuant to the terms of Agreement No. 1. The Company has the obligation to repay the amount of $500,000 to ABT Ltd. should the farm out agreement not be approved by the Ministry.

As at March 31, 2005 the short-term interest free loan due to ABT consisted of the following:

OBLIGATIONS ON SOCIAL SPHERE DEVELOPMENT

In accordance with the Subsurface Use Contracts, the Corporation is committed to contribute to social sphere development of Astana and Atyrau cities in the total amount of $3,030,000 for all oilfields during the exploration phase.  All Subsurface Use Contracts establish the exploration phase as 6 years from 2003 to 2009, and the production phase as 25 years from 2009 to 2034. During the term ended, March 31, 2005, the Corporation had not made any payments. These payments are due over the period from 2003 to 2008.  Management believes that the Corporation will meet this obligation within the exploration phase and payment delay will not terminate or deteriorate terms of the Subsurface Use Contracts.

18

Payment of these obligations is to be made according to a payment schedule agreed to between the Corporation and the Government. The non-current portion of these obligations is discounted at 15% being the estimated credit-adjusted risk free discount rate, giving a total discounted obligation of $2,700,961. The accretion expense for the three months ended March 31, 2005 was $44,636 (2004 - $21,451).

In accordance with the Subsurface Use Contracts, the Corporation is obliged to finance professional training of Kazakhstani personnel recruited for the Subsurface Use Contract’s operations at the rate of not less than 1% of the total amount of minimal investments. Under the Subsurface Use Contracts, the total amount of minimal investments was established at $53,900,000 during their exploration phase.

These obligations are discounted at 15%, being the estimated credit-adjusted risk free discount rate.  The accretion expense for the year ended March 31, 2005 was $8,902 (2004 - $Nil) was expensed.

13.

OBLIGATIONS FOR ACQUISITION OF THE RIGHT FOR THE GEOLOGICAL INFORMATION USE

In accordance with the Agreements on acquisition of the right on the geological information use # 710 and # 711 dated January 21, 2002, the Corporation is obliged to pay an additional amount for the right of geological information use if KoZhaN attracts foreign investors.

On May 11, 2004, BSEA acquired 100% of the shares in Vector’s charter fund. Accordingly, Vector recognized additional obligations on acquisition of the right on the geological information use as at March 31, 2005 in the amount of $758,265 (December 31, 2004, $758,265).

14.

OBLIGATIONS FOR HISTORICAL COSTS REIMBURSEMENT

The Corporation through its purchase of Vector is unavoidably obliged to reimburse $7,784,034, which represents historical costs incurred by the Republic of Kazakhstan for the Liman-2 oilfield pursuant to the terms of the Subsurface Use Contract # 1076 dated December 28, 2002 and the Agreement on acquisition of the right on the geological information use # 711 dated January 21, 2002. Payment of these obligations should be made according to a payment schedule agreed between Vector and the Government. These payments are due from 2012 to 2027 and should be paid quarterly in equal installments.

These obligations are discounted at 15%, being the estimated credit-adjusted risk free discount rate, giving a present value of obligation of $1,014,386 as at March 31, 2005.  The accretion expense for the three months ended March 31, 2005 was $32,712 (2004 - $Nil).

SIGNATURE BONUSES AND PENALTY PAYABLE

In accordance with the Subsurface Use Contracts there was an obligation to pay signature bonuses in total of $1,000,000 for acquiring the subsurface use rights for all three fields. These bonuses were due for payment within 30 days after signing the Subsurface Use Contracts.

Penalties accrued on delaying the payment of the signature bonuses for those oilfields amounted to $61,739. These penalties were paid as at March 31, 2005.

16.

ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATION

Management determined that an asset retirement obligation should be recognized for future abandonment costs of 93 wells drilled at Morskoe, Liman -2 and Atyrau  fields  before the Corporation signed the Subsurface Use Contracts, but which, in management’s opinion were not properly abandoned. Management believes that this obligation is likely to be settled at the end of the exploration phase.

As at December 31, 2004, undiscounted future cash flows that will be required to satisfy the Corporation’s liability by 2009 and 2028 for the Liman-2 field is $930,000. After application of a 15% credit-adjusted risk free discount rate, the present value of the Corporation’s liability at March 31, 2005 is $451,551.  During the three months ended March 31, 2005, the Corporation recorded an accretion expense of $15,683(2004 - $704).

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

As at March 31, 2005 the fair value, the related method of determining fair value and carrying value of the Corporation’s financial instruments were as follows: the fair value of current assets and current liabilities approximates their carrying amounts due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. The Corporation is exposed to market, credit and currency risks arises in the normal course of the Corporation’s business. Derivative financial instruments are not used to reduce exposure to the above risks.

Concentration of credit risk – Financial instruments that potentially expose the Corporation to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalent. Management of the Corporation believes the likelihood of incurring material losses due to concentration of credit risk is remote.

Interest rate risk – The Corporations potential interest rate risk is minimal and management considers the risk insignificant.

Foreign currency risk – The Corporation undertakes transactions denominated in foreign currencies. Accordingly, these activities may result in foreign currency exposure. The Corporation does not hedge it’s foreign currency risk.

24.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

	$
2005	237,300
2006	115,800
2007	19,300
	372,400

The Corporation is subject to potential litigation in the normal course of operations.  There are no claims currently pending that management considers would materially affect the Corporation’s financial position or results of operations.

Operating environment – The Corporation’s principal business activities are within the Republic of Kazakhstan. Laws and regulations affecting businesses operating in the Republic of Kazakhstan are subject to rapid changes and KoZhaN’s assets and operations could be at risk due to negative changes in the political and business environment.

Taxation – The taxation system in the Republic of Kazakhstan is constantly changing and subject to inconsistent application, interpretation and enforcement. There have been many new tax and foreign currency laws and related regulations introduced in recent years, which are not always clearly written and whose interpretation and application is subject to the opinions of the local tax authorities. Non-compliance with Kazakhstan laws and regulations can potentially lead to the imposition of penalties and fines, the amounts of which can be significant.

Environmental matters – The Corporation believes it is currently in compliance with all existing Kazakhstan environmental laws and regulations. However, Kazakhstan environmental laws and regulations may change in the future. The Corporation is unable to predict the timing or extent to which these environmental laws and regulations may change. Such change, if it occurs, may require KoZhaN to modernize technology to meet more stringent standards.

Financial Commitments and Contingencies – KoZhaN

The Corporation, through its interest in KoZhaN, has the following commitments and contingencies.  As these commitments and contingencies are subject to the commencement of commercial production and the Corporation can not determine at this time when it will commence commercial oil and gas production operations, the likelihood of payment of the following commitments and contingencies is currently indeterminable. Consequently no amounts have been recorded as provisions in these amended and restated financial statements for the following commitments and contingencies:

a) Commitment to repay historical costs of the Government – In accordance with the Subsurface Use Contracts the Corporation is obliged to reimburse to the Government for historical costs incurred during preparation of certain geological information on the Morskoe, Karatal and Dauletaly oilfields.  The total amount reimbursable is $3,756,422. Of this amount, $116,178 was paid in 2002-2003. The remaining amount of $3,640,244 is expected to be settled by equal quarterly installments during 20 years after the Corporation enters into the production phase on these oilfields. If commercial production does not commence no further payments become due in this respect.

24

b)	Commitments to contribute to social development of Astana and Atyrau – In accordance with the Subsurface Use Contracts, the Corporation is obliged to invest an equivalent of $850,000 during the production phase for the development of the social sector of Atyrau and Astana cities in the Republic of Kazakhstan.

Although the Corporation has not yet carried out major exploration activities to date, the Corporation has recorded an asset retirement obligation for certain wells in these amended and restated financial statements. Upon achieving an agreement with the Government, this asset retirement obligation may be considered as part of the contractually required liquidation fund.
	-	Upon awarding of a new tender for subsurface use rights, KoZhaN shall pay a $0.05 bonus based on total oilfield reserves as defined in the State Balance of Reserves (Oil) of Kazakhstan as of January 1, 2000, equivalent to proven recoverable reserves.
e)	Contingencies related to purchase of geological information from the Government – In accordance with the Purchase Agreements concluded with the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources of the Republic of Kazakhstan on July 10, 2002, the Corporation may incur a penalty for delaying payment for the geological information purchases from the Government relating to the Morskoe, Karatal and Dauletaly oilfields at a rate of 10% per annum. Payments for the geological information purchase for the Karatal and Dauletaly oilfields were made by the Corporation with a significant delay. Management believes that the obligation for the penalty is not probable and thus no provision has been recognized in the amended and restated financial statements for this amount.
f)	Commitment to make payments based on production – Arising from BSEK’s acquisition of KoZhaN interest, the Corporation is committed to make the following payments to the non-controlling partners of KoZhaN, as a group, upon achieving the following production milestones, where production is calculated after deducting the government’s share of production, if any, and where one tonne equals seven barrels of oil:

g)	Investment commitments – In accordance with the Subsurface Use Contracts KoZhaN is obliged to invest a minimum of $69,000,000 over the period covered by the Subsurface Use Contracts. An amount of $14,000,000 should be invested during the exploration phase. All three Subsurface Use Contracts establish the exploration phase as 6 years from 2003 to 2009, and the production phase as 25 years from 2009 to 2034.  The governments’ objective in setting minimum work commitments is to ensure certain types of exploratory work is carried out by the license holder, including drilling new wells and seismic activity. The government will measure the degree to which the Corporation has met its commitments in terms of work completed. The government estimates the work commitment in terms of expected spending amounts. The government measures the performance of the Corporation towards meeting its work commitment by evalu ating the actual work performed in comparison with the agreed requirements. Actual spending is not a performance measure.
h)	Commercial discovery bonus – In accordance with the Subsurface Use Contracts, the Corporation is obliged to pay to the Government a commercial discovery bonus in the amount of 0.1% of the value of proved reserves using the market price of the hydrocarbons. This amount is due within 30 days after the hydrocarbon reserves are approved by the State Committee on Reserves of the Republic of Kazakhstan.  As at March 31, 2005, a commercial discovery has not been made as so no accrual for any bonus has been made in these amended and restated financial statements.
i)	Commitments related to transfer of 45% share in Morskoe oil field –

Other Contingencies

a)

Non-compliance with the Subsurface Use Contracts – The Government has the right to suspend these contracts or even cancel them if the Corporation is in material breach of obligations and commitments under the Subsurface Use Contracts. In accordance with the Subsurface Use Contracts signed on February 17, 2003 the Corporation was obliged to commence exploration activities within 60 days after signing the Contracts. However, as at March 31, 2005, the Corporation had not started exploration activities on the Karatal and Dauletaly oilfields. In the case of failure to remedy such violations, these Subsurface Use Contracts can be terminated by the Government, which may affect recoverability of capitalized costs of approximately $1.2 million related to Dauletaly and Karatal oilfields. The corporation expects to conduct new exploration activities in the two license areas in 2005, and may farmout portions of these licenses to third parties in 2005, in order to fulfill its obligations under the Subsurface Use Contracts.

b)

Commitment to sell produced oil in Kazakhstan – In accordance with the Subsurface Use Contracts, the Corporation is obliged to sell 100% of oil produced during the exploration stage, and 20% of oil produced during the production stage, to oil refineries located in Kazakhstan.

The Corporation, through its interest in Vector, has the following commitments and contingencies.  As these commitments and contingencies are subject to the commencement of commercial production and the Corporation can not determine at this time when it will commence commercial oil and gas production operations, the likelihood of payment of the following commitments and contingencies is currently indeterminable.

a)	Non-compliance with the Subsurface Use Contracts – The Government has the right to suspend or cancel these Subsurface Use Contracts if KoZhaN is in material breach of the obligations and commitments under the Subsurface Use Contracts.

	As at May 5, 2005, Management has discharged part of commitments and is continuing remediation of certain violations of the Subsurface Use Contracts:

b)	Investment commitments – In accordance with the Subsurface Use Contracts, the Corporation is obliged to invest a minimum of $53,900,000 over the period covered by the Subsurface Use Contracts.

The Subsurface Use Contract # 1077 dated December 28, 2002 establishes the exploration phase as 5 years from 2003 to 2007 and the production phase as 20 years from 2008 to 2028.  The governments’ objective in setting minimum work commitments is to ensure certain types of exploratory work is carried out by the licence holder, including drilling new wells and seismic activity. The government will measure the degree to which the Corporation has met its commitments in terms of work completed. The government estimates the work commitment in terms of expected spending amounts.

Actual spending is not a performance measure.
c)	Commitment to reimburse historical costs of the Government – In accordance with the Subsurface Use Contract, the Corporation is obliged to reimburse to the Government for historical costs incurred at the expense of the Government on the Atyrau oilfield. The total amount reimbursable is $22,507,380. From this amount, $112,537 was paid to the Government in 2003. The remaining amount of $22,394,843 is expected to be settled according to a payment schedule to be agreed between the Corporation and the Government not later than 120 days after approval of the hydrocarbon reserves.

RESTATEMENT #1

Subsequent to the issuance of the Company’s unaudited March, 31 2005 financial statements, the Company’s management determined that its belief that no obligation would exist to repay ABT Ltd. for costs they incurred or advanced to KoZhan LLP in relation to the Morskoe oil field under the farm-out agreement signed October 12, 2004 (see Note 10), should Ministry approval not be received on the transfer of 45% of the subsurface rights of the Morskoe licence to ABT Ltd., was incorrect, and that in fact an obligation would exist to repay ABT Ltd. for all costs incurred or advanced by them relating to the Morskoe oil field should Ministry approval not be received.  As a result, the “Short-Term Interest Free Loan from ABT Ltd” liability account, the “Oil and Gas Properties” asset account and the “Other Current Asset” account were understated in the amounts of $1,174,423, $1,088,263, and $86,160 respect ively as previously reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as at December 31, 2004 included in the March 31, 2005 Form 10-QSB. Also, the “Short-Term Interest Free Loan to ABT Ltd” liability account and the “Oil and Gas Properties” asset account were understated in the amount of $1,260,583 as previously reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as at March 31, 2005 included in the March 31, 2005 Form 10-QSB. The error described above also resulted in an understatement in cash flow from financing activities in the amount of $334,000 and an overstatement in cash flow from investing activities in the amount of $334,000 in the Cumulative Period from Date of Inception column on the

RESTATEMENT #2

Subsequent to the issuance of the Company’s unaudited March, 31 2005 financial statements Amendment No.2 on Form 10-QSB/A, the Company’s management determined that its calculation of the compensation cost for the 750,000 shares of common stock issued on March 9, 2005 under the Stock Awards Plan to the Chief Executive Officer (500,000 shares) and the Chief Financial Officer (250,000 shares) at a deemed price of $0.50 per share for net compensation costs of $375,000 was incorrect and that the shares of common stock should have been issued at $1.10, which was the market rate at the date of grant, for net compensation costs of $825,000. Issuing the shares at a price $0.60 below the market value at the date of grant resulted in an understatement of compensation costs and therefore an understatement of net loss and loss per share reported on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Deficit for the period ended March 31, 2005 inclu ded in the March 31, 2005 Form 10-QSB Amendment No. 1 in the amounts of $450,000 and $0.01 respectively.  The error also resulted in an understatement of the “Additional Paid-in Capital” and the Deficit Accumulated During the Development Stage” accounts on the Consolidated Statements of Stockholder’s Equity and the Consolidated Balance Sheets included in the March 31, 2005 Form 10-QSB Amendment No. 1 in the amounts of

30

$450,000. The error described above also resulted in an understatement of the “Net Loss from Continuing Operations” and the “Non-Cash Stock Compensation” accounts on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the period ended March 31, 2005 included in the March 31, 2005 Form 10-QSB Amendment No. 1 in the amount of $450,000.  The relating statements and disclosures have been adjusted to correct these misstatements.

The changes to the Consolidated Balance Sheets, the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Deficit, the Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity and the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as at and for the period ended March 31, 2005 can be summarized as follows:

Therefore, you should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement or statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the forward-looking statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all such factors. Further, we cannot assess the impact of each such factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

The following financial data should be read in conjunction with "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and the consolidated financial statements and notes to such consolidated amended and restated financial statements included in this report.  We have derived the statements of operations data and the information as at and for the three month period ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 from unaudited condensed consolidated amended and restated financial statements and from our audited consolidated amended and restated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004.

NATURE OF OPERATIONS

In 2004, Big Sky began investing in oil and gas assets with the stated intention becoming an oil and gas exploration and production company.   This transition was concluded December 9, 2004 with the sale of Big Sky Network Canada Ltd.  In early 2004, we acquired KoZhaN LLP (“KoZhaN”) and Vector Energy West LLP (“Vector) which acquisitions gained Big Sky a significant acreage position in the prolific pre-Caspian basin of western Kazakhstan, located close to infrastructure and transportation.   

In the fourth quarter of 2004, Big Sky spudded its first well, Morskoe # 10 and during the first three months of 2005, we achieved our near term objectives which included the completion of drilling and testing of Morskoe #10.  The next phase of work, the drilling or working over of additional wells offsetting Morskoe #10 is currently underway.  

We are also intent on farming out selected high risk exploration targets and we are currently undertaking farm out discussions with established multinational energy companies.   We believe that these activities will lead to a sustainable platform on which to build Big Sky in Kazakhstan and enable Big Sky to secure additional licenses in other countries, using the diverse expertise of its officers and consultants.

On April 19, 2005, Big Sky executed a Letter of Intent with Sun Drilling LLP wherein Sun Drilling LLP agreed to provide turnkey drilling services for a minimum of two wells in the Morskoe Field on behalf of KoZhaN and a minimum of 10 wells in the Atyrau Block for Vector.  The drilling schedule for Morskoe is set to commence in approximately May 2005 with the Atryau block drilling schedule projected to start in July/August 2005.

Big Sky raised over $13.7 million in equity capital in the first three months of 2005.  During 2004, Big Sky raised US$12 million of new common equity.  While access to the capital markets is always subjective, the current levels of energy prices support investor interest in financing new projects. Big Sky is basing its growth strategies on attaining a sustainable level of cash flow from energy development of existing licenses while securing additional licenses subject to available financing on economic terms.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Revenues

For the first three months of 2005 and during all of 2004, Big Sky did not earn revenues. We have added oil and gas properties through the acquisition of KoZhaN and Vector; however these properties are currently undeveloped and consequently did not provide revenue during the period.

Expenses

During the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, we incurred operating expenses of $2,093,336 and $766,532 respectively.  The following table provides a breakdown of operating expenses by category.

General Operating Expenses

	THREE MONTH PERIOD ENDED MARCH 31, 2005 (As Restated)	THREE MONTH PERIOD ENDED MARCH 31, 2004	PERIOD FROM FEBRUARY 1, 2000 TO MARCH 31, 2005 (As Restated)
Office Costs	2,360,429	$629,361	$15,913,753
Professional Services	100,763	$75,138	$2,825,213
Investor Relations	82,144	$62,033	$1,497,000
Extinguishment of debt	$-	-	($1,422,225)
Miscellaneous	$-	-	$212,114
TOTAL	2,543,336	$766,532	$19,025,855

Office costs include the costs of executive management and administrative consultants, rent, insurance, travel, and general office costs associated with maintaining business offices in China, Canada and Kazakhstan.  For the three months ended March 31, 2005, office costs have increased over the same period in 2004 due to additional consulting costs relating to the acquisition of additional subsidiaries during the year, the increase in Kazakhstan operations and additional costs of management.

Professional services include accounting, audit and legal advisory costs.  Professional costs have increased in the first quarter of 2005 compared to the same period in 2004.  This increase is primarily due to an increase in corporate activity.

Amortization and depreciation expense recorded during the first quarter of 2005 and 2004 resulted from the depreciation of office equipment and leasehold improvements.  No depletion was recorded on oil and gas assets, and oil and gas related accretion expenses were incurred.

We record the fluctuations in the fair value of certain unexercised stock options as a deferred compensation asset (reported as a reduction of stockholders’ equity on the balance sheet). This asset is amortized over the life of the stock options as non-cash compensation expense. The non-cash compensation expense in the first quarter of 2005 was $5,050 (2004 - $191,721). The first quarter expense for 2004 reflects a recovery of previously deferred compensation expenses of $132,500 and amortization of $324,221 of the deferred compensation asset.

Summary of Non-cash Compensation Expense:

	Expense	Unamortized Deferred Compensation
Options
Options granted April 2003	1,150	3,444
Options granted June 2004	3,900	19,432
Options granted February 2005	0	5,564,910
Total	$5,050	$5,587,786

Losses

Since we are in the development stage, all losses accumulated since inception is considered as part of our development stage activities.

Discontinued Operations

In December 2004, we sold our 100% shareholding in Big Sky Network Canada Ltd., which held our remaining assets in China, Big Sky Chengdu Technology Services Ltd, 100% owned, and our interest in the Sichuan Huayu Big Sky Network Ltd. joint venture, 50% owned. With this sale, we exited the Internet business in China. The sale of Big Sky Network Canada is presented as a discontinued operation in our amended and restated financial statements.

CAPITAL EXPENDITURES AND INVESTMENTS

Material Commitments for Capital Expenditures

As a result of the acquisition of KoZhaN and Vector, we have acquired significant commitments for future capital expenditure. The majority or these commitments are not required to be settled until we are in the production phase, at which time we expect to have sufficient cash-flows from production to meet these commitments and will rely primarily on production cash-flows to meet future capital expenditures. If the future cash flows from production are insufficient to meet these commitments, we will likely have to rely on additional equity financing.  

Certain commitments relating to KoZhaN require capital expenditure prior to the production phase. These include investment commitments of $16.43 million.  We anticipate we will be able to meet these capital costs through a number of financing alternatives. The investment commitment of $16.43 million is required to be spent in exploration phase in the Republic of Kazakhstan during the exploration phase, which is expected to last until approximately 2009.  We plan to finance this commitment through a combination of the sale of exploration related production and future equity financing.   The government’s objective in setting minimum work commitments is to ensure certain types of exploratory work is carried out by the license holder, including drilling new wells and seismic activity. The government will measure the degree to which Big Sky has met its commitments in terms of work completed. The government estimates the work commitment in terms of expected spending amounts. The government measures the performance of Big Sky towards meeting its work commitment by evaluating the actual work performed in comparison with the agreed requirements. Actual spending is not a performance measure.

Commercial discovery bonuses will be equal to 0.1% of the value of proved reserves if found.  We anticipate that any commercial discovery bonus will be small enough to be financed out of our working capital.

The Vector and KoZhaN work commitments are measured by actual work undertaken and completed. The cost to complete the work can be lower, or higher, than the estimated cost. Actual cost is not the determining factor in meeting work commitment obligations. As the undertaken work commitments in 2005 are higher than those defined in the Hydrocarbon Contracts, Vector and KoZhaN expects to apply to the government to amend the commitment to the lesser amounts defined in the Hydrocarbon Contracts.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During 2004, Big Sky utilized cash for management and corporate administrative activities of approximately $200,000 per month. Management anticipates that Big Sky currently has sufficient working capital to fund this minimum level of operations through December 2006. However, Big Sky may require additional financing to continue as a going concern beyond December. Current cash resources are not anticipated to be sufficient to fund the work commitment for existing licenses, acquire producing properties or additional licenses. It will consider seeking additional private equity or debt financing. There can be no assurances that any such funds will be available, and if funds are raised, that they will be sufficient to achieve Big Sky’s objective, or result in commercial success. In February 2005, we raised an additional $13.7 million of common equity from institutional investors and accredited private investors in Europe, Rus sia, USA and Canada

As of March 31, 2005, we had cash and cash equivalents of $11,312,037 that were included in the working capital surplus of $8,119,559.  This compared to a working capital deficit of $2,793,503 at December  31, 2004.

35

In February 2005, Big Sky closed on a private placement which raised $13,625,000.  Big Sky issued 27,250,000 shares of common stock at a price of $0.50 per share.   We paid a finders fee of 6% in cash and warrants equal to 6% of the shares of common stock issued for a total cost of $817,140.  1,634,280 Warrants to purchase 1,634,280 shares of common stock at $0.50 per share were also issued.

On a consolidated basis, our minimum cash requirement for maintenance of operations, without conducting a drilling program or acquisitions of other potential fields, is estimated at approximately $400,000 per month in 2005.  With the acquisition of KoZhaN and Vector and our diversification into oil and natural gas exploration and production, we anticipate that we will be required to raise additional capital to fund future exploration and development programs or farm out some of our interest in various higher risk/cost projects to third parties.  Such farm-outs would be intended to cover up to 100% of project costs in return for a percentage interest in the project.

On October 12, 2004, KoZhaN entered into two (2) agreements with ABT Ltd. LLP – an Agreement on Partial Transfer of the Subsoil Use Right (the “Transfer Agreement”) and Agreement No. 1. (“Agreement No. 1”). These two (2) agreements set the terms and conditions of the transfer by KoZhaN of forty-five percent (45%) of its interest in the subsoil use right in the Morskoe oil field (the “Interest”).

Pursuant to Agreement No. 1, ABT is providing consideration for the Interest that consists of performance of certain construction works and up to 50% of the costs incurred in connection with Well No. 10 in the Morskoe oil field that are not deemed to be associated with the “drilling works” of such well.

Also pursuant to Agreement No. 1, ABT agreed to provide a loan of up to $550,000 for the drilling works associated with Well No. 10. “Drilling works” was defined as all costs associated with the drilling, completing, equipping, coring, logging, perforating and test of Well No. 10. This loan is required to be repaid only in the case of discovery of oil and production from the Morskoe oil field.

The transfer of the Interest is subject to approval by the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources of Kazakhstan (the “MEMR”), which has not yet been received.

The Company has recorded the amount of $840,423 paid by ABT in performance of the construction works and the amount of $86,160 paid by ABT as its 50% portion of costs incurred in connection with Well No. 10 that are not deemed to be drilling works, as an amounts loaned to the Company by ABT. In the event that the transfer of the Interest is approved by the MEMR, these amounts will be converted into amounts received as consideration for the Interest transferred to ABT.

The amounts received from ABT towards the drilling works, which as of December 31, 2004, equaled $500,000, have been recorded by the Company as a loan, to be repaid from production. In the event that no oil is discovered or produced by the Company from the Morskoe oil field, this loan will be removed from the Company’s records as a forgiven loan pursuant to the terms of Agreement No. 1. The Company has the obligation to repay the amount of $500,000 to ABT Ltd. should the farm out agreement not be approved by the Ministry.

Cash Requirements

The following aggregated information about our contractual obligations and other commitments aim to provide insight into our short and long-term liquidity and capital resource need and demands as at March 31, 2005.   Unless otherwise indicated, the majority of these contractual obligations and commitments are contingent upon our selling production.

* As disclosed in Note 24 (g) to the consolidated amended and restated financial statements, we are obliged to spend $14,000,000 during the exploration phase, which is expected to end in 2009. As we are entitled to make these payments at any point over the exploration period, the timing of payments presented in the table reflects management’s estimate as to when these expenditures will be incurred by us.

The following commitments have been excluded based on the inability to estimate the timing

* As disclosed in Note 24 to the consolidated amended and restated financial statements, we are obliged to spend $16.43 million during the exploration phase, which is expected to end in 2009. As we are entitled to make these payments at any point over the exploration period, the timing of payments presented in the table reflects management’s estimate as to when these expenditures will be incurred by us.

The following commitments have been excluded based on the inability to estimate the timing of payment and or the dollar amount of the future payments:

1.

Quarterly payments to the non-controlling partners in KoZhaN – these payments will be charged based net sales of oil, in accordance with the following schedule:

- $0.35 per barrel if the price of oil is equal to or less than $14.00;

- $0.75 per barrel if the price of oil is greater than $14.00 and less than or equal to $18.00;

- $1.00 per barrel if the price of oil is greater than $18.00 and less than or equal to $22.00; or

- $1.50 per barrel if the price of oil is greater than $22.00

2.

Commercial discovery bonus – these payments to the government are required within 30 days of the approval by the State Committee of Kazakhstan of proved commercial hydrocarbon reserves. Payments amounts are currently set at 0.1% of the value assigned to the proved commercial reserves.

3.

A royalty of $1 per barrel for oil produced and sold form the Atyrau and Liman 2 licences.

PLAN OF OPERATION

Currently, our management expects that we have sufficient working capital surplus to fund our operations through December 2006, without including the costs of a drilling program or acquisitions of other potential fields,.  As at March 31, 2005, after raising an additional $13.7 million in new common equity, we had sufficient working capital to fund our operations and carry out a significant portion of our annual work commitments.

37

Meeting our future financing requirements will be dependent on our ability to develop oil and gas farm outs or joint venture partnerships on favorable terms, our ability to access equity capital markets and, after achieving or acquiring sustainable production, our ability to maintain credit facilities from institutional lenders. We may not be able to raise additional equity when required, or we may raise the equity on terms that are dilutive to existing shareholders.

Big Sky follows the successful efforts method of accounting for its oil and gas operations, whereby expenditures for property acquisitions and all development costs (including development dry holes) and support equipment and facilities are capitalized. The costs of unsuccessful exploratory wells are charged to expense at the time the wells or other exploration activities are determined to be non-productive. Production costs, overheads and all exploration costs other than exploratory drilling are expensed as incurred.

Costs incurred for acquisition of rights to explore and develop the Morskoe, Karatal, Dauletaly, Atyrau and Liman-2 oilfields, including but not limited to payment for geological information use, payment to participate in tender, signature bonuses, obligations on professional training of personnel, obligations on social programs and programs on infrastructure development are capitalized and classified as a right to subsurface use. Payroll and related costs incurred during the acquisition and exploration phases and directly related to oil and gas operations are capitalized as part of oil and gas properties.

Impairment of Oil and Gas Properties

Big Sky evaluates its long-lived assets, including oil and gas properties, for possible impairment by comparing the carrying values with the undiscounted future net before-tax cash flows. Among other things, this might be caused by falling oil and gas prices, a significant revision to reserve estimates, adverse changes in operating costs, tax or political environment. Asset impairment may occur if a field discovers lower than anticipated reserves, write downs of proved reserves based on field performance, significant changes in commodity prices, significant decreases in the market value of an asset, and significant change in the extent or manner of use or physical change in an asset. Impaired assets will be written down to their estimated fair values, generally their discounted future net before-tax cash flows. For proved oil and gas properties, Big Sky performs the impairment test on an individual field basis. Unproved properties are revi ewed periodically to determine if there has been impairment of the carrying value with any such impairment charged to expense in the current period. We assessed our oil and gas properties for impairment at the end of 2004 and found no impairments were required based on our assumptions.

Stock Based Compensation

We account for stock-based awards to employees using the intrinsic method in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion (“APB”) No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”.  Under APB 25, compensation expense is accounted for in accordance with the intrinsic method where the expense is recognized upon exercise of the option as being the difference between the quoted market price and the exercise price, or if resulting from awards under variable plans, the expense is measured at each reporting period as the difference between the quoted market price and the exercise price.  We account for stock-based awards to non-employees in accordance with the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”.  SFAS No. 123 requires that stock options awarded to non-employees be valued at fair value on the date of the award.  Manage ment estimates the fair value of the stock options using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and makes assumptions for the applicable interest rates, volatility and dividend yield.  In all cases, the calculated compensation is recognized as an expense over the period that the employee performs the related services.  For the three month period ended March 31, 2005, an amount of $5,050 was recorded as non-cash stock compensation expense in respect of employee and non-employee-stock based compensation (2004 - $191,721)

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On May 10, 2005, the Board of Directors of Big Sky accepted Mr. Mathew Heysel’s resignation from the position of Chief Executive Officer.  Mr. Heysel now holds the position of Executive Chairman of the Board at the terms and conditions of the existing service contract between Big Sky and M.H. Financial Management Ltd.

Concurrently, on May 10, 2005, the Board of Directors of Big Sky appointed Mr. Selami Ahmet Sehsuvaroglu, then President of Big Sky to the role of Chief Executive Officer.

On May 10, 2005, the Board of Directors of Big Sky voted to appoint two new independent directors to its Board of Directors.  Dr. Servet Harunoglu and another party were approached to take these seats.  As of May 20, 2005, Dr Harunoglu had consented to take his seat on the Board, discussions are continuing with the other prospective director.

See Note 25 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.   

Subsequent to the discovery of the accounting error which was the causation of our current restatement, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management and Audit Committee, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-14.  Based upon the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures while designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports the Corporation files and submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required, were lacking in rigor and application and disclosure controls were not functioning.  It was therefore the conclusion of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the periods covered by our Form 10-KSB/A as of December 31, 2004 and Forms 10-QSB/A for the periods March 31, 2005, June 30, 2005 and September 30, 2005 were not effective.

The Corporation has adopted a policy that all contracts drafted in a foreign language must be translated into English and then reviewed and approved by the Corporation’s legal counsel prior to execution.  Management believes that this will ensure that specificity and clarity will be included in every contract executed by the Corporation and its subsidiaries and prevent the misinterpretation that occurred in the contracts referenced above.   These measures are to address the defect noted in the lack of a review process for translated material prior to insertion into or reflection in the accounting records of the company.

As a first step in addressing a lack of sufficient personnel with appropriate knowledge, experience and training in US GAAP, the Audit Committee conducted a recruitment exercise which culminated in the employment of a senior accounting professional with a background in managing the accounting function within public reporting companies.  

39

To address the lack of clear accountability structure within the accounting function and throughout the organization, our Chief Financial Officer has engaged with our Corporate Governance and Compliance Consultant to devise and implement a sub-certification program throughout the accounting function with the long-term goal of extending this program to all business processes.  It is the current intention of the Company to complete this program in the first quarter of 2006.

In conjunction with external service providers, we will continue to identify, develop and implement remedial measures to address these inadequacies and failures and implement best practice in our internal controls over financial reporting.

Changes in Internal Controls

The Company’s internal controls over financial reporting have changed as disclosed above.

ITEM 2.  UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

a)  Sales of Unregistered Securities

In February 2005, Big Sky raised additional common equity in a series of private placement transactions, which raised $13,625,000. Big Sky issued 27, 250,000 shares of common stock at a price of $0.50 per share.  Big Sky paid a finders fee of 6% in cash and warrants equal to 6% of the shares of common stock issued. Finder’s fees of $817,140 were paid and 1,634,280 Warrants to purchase 1,634,280 shares of common stock at $0.50 per share were issued.

In April 2005, Big Sky issued 150,000 shares to an option holder, who exercised options previously granted and fully vested at an exercise price of $0.05 per common share for proceeds of $7,500.

On May 5, 2005, Big Sky signed a convertible debenture to secure a US$17.5 million facility from Sun Drilling LLP ("Sun Drilling") to finance the 2005 drilling program of its two subsidiaries, KoZhaN and Vector. KoZhaN plans to drill two wells in its Morskoe field, and Vector plans to drill ten wells in its Atyrau block in 2005, commencing approximately in May and July respectively. Sun Drilling has agreed to provide full well construction services for these wells on a turnkey basis, specified under formal drilling contracts, finalized on May 5th. The Company’s operating subsidiaries, KoZhaN and Vector, will pay 20% of Sun Drilling's pre-agreed well construction cost in cash as each well is completed and the 80% balance within one year carrying an interest charge of LIBOR plus 4% per annum.  The payment of the 80% balance is secured by convertible debentures.  Sun Drilling will have the right to convert to the Comp any's shares of common stock after 365 days from issue of each invoice, with the conversion price not to exceed two dollars per share.  There is an additional optional conversion clause that permits Sun Drilling LLP, upon 30 days notice, on or before the Maturity Date, to redeem the convertible debentures, in whole or from time to time in part at the option of Sun Drilling LLP, at a redemption price equal to the Conversion Price plus accrued and unpaid interest.

Each of the foregoing issuances of securities was exempt from registration due to the exemption found in Regulation S promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933. These sales were offshore transactions since all of the offerees were not in the United States and the purchasers were outside the United States at the time of the purchase. Moreover, there were no directed selling efforts of any kind made in the Untied States neither by us nor by any affiliate or any person acting on our behalf in connection with any of these offerings. All offering materials and documents used in connection with the offers and sales of the securities included statements to the effect that the securities have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to U.S. persons unless the securities are registered under the Act or an exemption therefrom is available and that no hedging transactions involving those securities may not be conducted unless in compliance with the Act. Each purchaser under Regulation S certified that it is not a U.S. person and is not acquiring the securities for the account or benefit of any U.S. person and agreed to resell such securities only in accordance with the provisions of Regulation S, pursuant to registration under the Act or pursuant to an available exemption from registration. The shares sold are restricted securities and the certificates representing these shares have been affixed with a standard restrictive legend, which states that the securities cannot be sold without registration under the Securities Act of 1933 or an exemption there from and we are required to refuse to register any transfer that does not comply with such requirements.

In March 2005 Big Sky issued 1,785,000 restricted shares of common stock to four option holders who exercised their options under Big Sky’s 2000 Stock Award Plan.

41

Each of the foregoing issuances of securities were exempt from registration pursuant to Rule 506 of Regulation D. Neither we nor any person acting on our behalf offered or sold these securities by any form of general solicitation or general advertising. The shares sold are restricted securities and the certificates representing these shares have been affixed with a standard restrictive legend, which states that the securities cannot be sold without registration under the Securities Act of 1933 or an exemption therefrom. Each purchaser represented to us that he was purchasing the securities for his own account and not for the account of any other persons. Each purchaser was provided with written disclosure that the securities have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and therefore cannot be sold without registration under the Securities Act of 1933 or an exemption therefrom.
