(Unaudited)
1. NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS
Park Place Energy Corp., formerly ST Online Corp. (the "Company"), was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on August 27, 2004. On June 22, 2007, the Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement with Park Place Energy Inc., a private company incorporated under the laws of the Province of Alberta, Canada, and 0794403 B.C. Ltd., a British Columbia corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
On July 6, 2007, the Company affected a forward split of its shares of common stock on the basis of eight new shares of common stock for each one share of common stock outstanding on that date and increased the authorized share capital from 100,000,000 shares of common stock to 800,000,000 shares of common stock. At the same time, the Company merged with a wholly-owned subsidiary, Park Place Energy Corp. which incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada in contemplation of the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Park Place Energy Inc. and the name of the Company was then changed to Park Place Energy Corp. On July 23, 2007, the Company effected a forward split of its shares of common stock on the basis of one and one-half new shares of common stock for each one share of common stock outstanding on that date and increased authorized share capital from 800,000,000 shares of common stock to 1,200,000,000 shares of common stock. Pursuant to the terms of the Busin ess Combination Agreement, the Company issued to each shareholder of record of Park Place Energy Inc. at the time of the acquisition one share of our common stock for every two shares they held of Park Place Energy Inc. As a result, the Company issued 8,995,662 shares of common stock to the former shareholders of Park Place Energy Inc.
On July 30, 2007, the Company acquired Park Place Energy Inc. Park Place Energy Inc. was renamed to Park Place Energy (Canada) Inc. on September 14, 2007. The business of the Company is now the acquisition and exploration of oil and gas. Park Place Energy Corp. holds exploration interests in a property in Tennessee, USA. Park Place Energy (Canada) Inc. holds the exploration interests in three properties in the provinces of British Columbia and Alberta, in Canada. The Company has completed test drilling at certain of the properties in which it holds interests. The Company has developed certain properties for production. For accounting purposes, the merger was treated as a recapitalization with Park Place Energy Inc. being the accounting acquirer and the go-forward financial statements reflect the history of Park Place Energy Inc. from its inception on May 4, 2006. The fiscal year-end of Park Place Energy Corp. was changed to December 31 from September 30, consequently the c urrent periods presented are for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and the comparative figures presented are for the period from inception on May 4, 2006 to September 30, 2008 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007.
On November 22, 2007 a new private company, Park Place Energy (International) Inc. was incorporated under the laws of British Columbia, Canada. This company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Park Place Energy Corp.
On July 24, 2008, the Company acquired the interest in certain 5 Year Northern Petroleum and Natural Gas Leases located in Alberta, Canada.

(Unaudited)
1. NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS (cont'd...)
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has had a history of negative cash flows from operating activities. In addition, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $8,569,541 as of September 30, 2008. These considerations raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Accordingly, the Company will require continued financial support from its shareholders and creditors until it is able to generate sufficient cash flow from operations on a sustained basis. Although there is doubt that the Company will be successful at achieving these results, during the period ended September 30, 2008 the Company raised a total of $1,919,674 in new equity. Failure to obtain the ongoing support of its stockholders and creditors may make the going concern basis of accounting inappropriate, in which case the Compan y's assets and liabilities would need to be recognized at their liquidation values. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might arise from this uncertainty.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared by the Company in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to interim financial information and with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed, or omitted, pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim financial statements include all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature, except as otherwise noted below. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2007, included in the Company's Form 10-KSB, filed April 15, 2008, with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for any other interim period or for a full fiscal year.
Recent accounting pronouncements
FASB Staff Position 157-2 ("FSP FAS 157-2") delayed the effective date of FAS 157 until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years, for all non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). The Company adopted FAS 157 on January 1, 2008, and unutilized the one year deferral for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities that was granted by FAP FAS 157-2. The adoption of FAS 157 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In February, 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities". SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earning. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The adoption on FAS 159 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd...)
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141(R), which replaces SFAS 141 and retains the fundamental requirements in SFAS 141, including that the purchase method be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. This standard defines the acquirer as the entity that obtains control of one or more businesses in the business combination and establishes the acquisition date as the date that the acquirer achieves control instead of the date that the consideration is transferred. SFAS 141(R) requires an acquirer in a business combination, including business combinations achieved in stages (step acquisition), to recognize the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date, with limited exceptions. It also requires the recognition of assets acquired and liabilities assumed arising from certain contractual contingencies as of the acquisi tion date, measured at their acquisition-date fair values. SFAS 141(R) becomes effective for the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Management has determined that the adoption of SFAS 141(R) will not have a material impact on the Financial Statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued FAS No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("FAS 161"). FAS 161 changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures about how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under FAS 133, and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity's operating results, financial position, and cash flows. The Company is currently reviewing the provision of FAS 161 and has not yet adopted the statement. However, as the provision of FAS 161 are only related to disclosure of derivative and hedging activities, the Company does not believe the adoption of FAS 161 will have a material impact on its consolidated operating results, financial position or cash flows.
In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 142-3, "Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets," (FSP FAS 142-3). FSP FAS 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under FASB Statement No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," (SFAS 142) in order to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS 141(R) and other GAAP. FSP FAS 142-3 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Management has determined that the adoption of FSP FAS 142-3 will not have an impact on the Financial Statements.
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, "The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles". SFAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. It is effective 60 days following the SEC's approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, "The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles". The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.
In June 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. EITF 03-6-1, "Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities," (FSP EITF 03-6-1). FSP EITF 03-6-1 states that unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. FSP EITF 03-6-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Management has determined that the adoption of FSP EITF 03-6-1 will not have an impact on the Financial Statements.

Overview
General
Prior to our acquisition of Park Place Energy Inc. ("Park Place Canada") in July 2007, we operated an e-commerce website. However, this business did not progress as anticipated and we determined to pursue other opportunities.
On July 30, 2007, we completed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Park Place Canada, which was engaged in the exploration for oil and natural gas. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the acquisition, we disposed of our interest in and to the e-commerce website and acquired the shares of our common stock held by certain former officers and directors of our company.
For more information relating to the acquisition and related reorganization, see our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007 filed with the SEC on April 15, 2008.
The closing of the acquisition of Park Place Canada represented a change in control of our Company. For accounting purposes, this change in control constitutes a re-capitalization of the Company, and the acquisition has been accounted for as a reverse merger whereby we, as the legal acquirer, are treated as the acquired entity, and Park Place Canada, as the legal subsidiary, is treated as the acquiring company with the continuing operations.
Our Business
As a result of the acquisition, we are an exploration stage company engaged in the exploration for conventional oil and natural gas. In the projects in which we hold interests, another party typically acts as the operator of the project and we provide to the operator timely funding for our proportionate share of costs, as well as technical input on best developing the related property. To control our overhead, we engage the services of consultants who have technical expertise to best represent our interests. We currently hold interests in oil and gas properties in the Provinces of British Columbia and Alberta, Canada and in Morgan County, Tennessee.
In March 2008, we acquired a 51% interest in six diamond concessions in Central Brazil in exchange for the payment of $262,184. On July 10, 2008, we divested our entire 51% interest in these concessions for $385,000 by way of a promissory note.
Revenues are currently being generated from our Eight Mile Gas Property in Northeast British Columbia. We continue to work on developing our other properties as well identifying new properties for acquisition.
Recent Events
On July 24, 2008, Park Place Energy (Canada) Inc. (a subsidiary of Park Place Energy Corp.) acquired an interest in certain 5 Year Northern Petroleum and Natural Gas Leases located in Alberta, Canada.
On September 22, 2008, Park Place Energy (Canada) Inc. disposed of its right, title and interest in these 5 Year Northern Petroleum and Natural Gas Leases to Fifth Avenue Diversified Inc. In exchange for its interest, Park Place Energy (Canada) Inc. received total consideration of $200,000, which was paid by way of a promissory note and issue to Park Place Energy (Canada) Inc. of 200,000 common shares of Fifth Avenue Diversified Inc. at a deemed price of $0.25 per share.
For more information regarding our business, see our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB filed with the SEC on April 15, 2008.
Plan Of Operations
Overview
Our Plan Of Operations for the next 12 months is to concentrate on two core projects: developing our Eight Mile Property in British Columbia, Canada for production; and completing test wells on our Tennessee property.
Over the next 12 months, we plan to conduct the following: (i) on the Eight Mile Property in British Columbia, we expect to drill two to four more wells at an estimated net expense of $900,000 per well and (ii) on the Morgan Highpoint Project in Tennessee, we expect to complete wells at an estimated net expense of $250,000. Further, we expect to spend approximately $250,000 in the next 12 months in office and general expenses, as well as approximately $800,000 in professional, consulting and management fees.
Estimated Capital Costs
Based on our current plan of operations as set forth above, we estimate that we will require approximately $4,900,000 to pursue our plan of operations over the next 12 months. As at September 30, 2008, we had cash of $50,782 and a working capital deficit of $81,912. Consequently, we will require additional financing to pursue our plan of operations over the next 12 months. There can be no assurance that we will obtain any additional financing in the amounts required or on terms favorable to us. If we are unable to obtain additional financing, we may have to re-evaluate or abandon our business activities and revise our plan of operations.
We believe that debt financing will not be an alternative for funding as we do not have any significant tangible assets to secure any debt financing. We anticipate that additional funding will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock. However, we cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funding from the sale of our common stock to fund our plan of operations going forward. In the absence of such financing, our business plan will fail. Even if we are successful in obtaining equity financing, there is no assurance that we will obtain the funding necessary to pursue our business plan. If we do not continue to obtain additional financing going forward, we will be forced to re-evaluate or abandon our plan of operations.

Office and General Expenses

Foreign Exchange Gain
In the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we realized a foreign exchange gain of $2,799, compared to a foreign exchange loss of $99,986 for the prior period of 2007. This increase is the result of currency fluctuations among the Canadian dollar and the United States dollar.

Investor Relations Expenses
Our investor relations expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 increased to $415,249 compared to $333,623 for the prior period of 2007, due to growth of our investor base.

Stock-Based Compensation Expenses
Our stock-based compensation expenses decreased to $312,997 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 from $903,244 for the prior period of 2007 as a result of decreased stock-based compensation to our consultants.
Net Loss
As a result of the above, our net loss before other items and taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $2,083,113, compared to $2,081,828 for the prior period of 2007. Our comprehensive loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $3,928,124, compared to $1,880,186 for the prior period of 2007.

We anticipate that we will require approximately $4,900,000 to pursue our plan of operations over the next 12 months. As at September 30, 2008, we had cash of $50,782 and a working capital deficit of $81,912. Consequently, we will require additional financing to pursue our plan of operations over the next 12 months. There can be no assurance that we will obtain any additional financing in the amounts required or on terms favorable to us. If we are unable to obtain additional financing, we may have to re-evaluate or abandon our business activities and plan of operations.
Cash Used in Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 decreased to $694,537 from $1,092,172 in the prior period of 2007, primarily as a result of our recording of an impairment of oil and gas of $1,849,284 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2008 as compared to $nil for the prior period of 2007.
Cash Used In Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $1,338,465, compared to $1,930,145 in the prior period of 2007. These represent investments in our oil and gas properties and loans to another oil and gas exploration company.
Cash Provided By Financing Activities
We have funded our business to date primarily from sales of our common stock. In the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we received cash of $1,919,674 as a result of proceeds from the sale of our capital stock, compared to $4,015,168 in the prior period of 2007.
Going Concern
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, we have incurred significant losses since inception and have not generated any revenues to date. The future of our company is dependent upon our ability to obtain sufficient financing and upon achieving future profitable operations. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our company's ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Future Financings
We anticipate continuing to rely on equity sales of our common shares in order to continue to fund our business operations. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to our existing shareholders. There is no assurance that we will achieve any additional sales of our equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund our business plan.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our financial statements are impacted by the accounting policies used and the estimates and assumptions made by management during their preparation. A complete summary of these policies is included in Note 2 of the notes to our historical financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk
Not Applicable.
Item 4. Controls And Procedures
As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2008, being the date of our most recently completed quarter. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the rules and forms of the SEC.
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Principal Executive Officer and our Principal Accounting Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. However, a control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.
During the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2008, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
