PARK PLACE ENERGY CORP.
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. which was renamed to Park Place Energy (Canada) Inc. (
"Park Place Canada") 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 Canada 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.On November 22, 2007 a new private company, Park Place Energy (International) Inc. (
"Park Place International") 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.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(An Exploration Stage Company)
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
MARCH 31, 2009
(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 $10,186,025 as of March 31, 2009. 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. Failure to obtain the ongoing support of its stockholders and creditors may make the going concern basis of accounting inappropriate, in which case the Company's assets and liabilities would need to be recognized at their liquidation values. These financial st atements 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
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 SFAS 157-2. The adoption of FAS 157 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
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.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd...)
Recent accounting pronouncements (cont'd...)
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. FAS 161 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after November 15, 2007. 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.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion of our financial condition, changes in financial condition and results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 should be read in conjunction with our unaudited interim financial statements and related notes for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including, but not limited to, those set forth below under the heading "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Overview of our Business
We are an exploration stage company engaged in exploring for conventional oil and natural gas. In the projects in which we hold interests, another party typically acts as the operator of the project. With respect to the projects that we participate in, we provide to the operator timely funding for our proportionate share of costs as well as technical input on how best to develop the property. As a way to keep our overhead down, we engage the services of consultants who have technical expertise to best represent our interests. We currently have interests in oil and gas properties in the Canadian provinces of British Columbia and Alberta and in Morgan County, Tennessee. Revenues from our Eight Mile Gas Property in north-east British Columbia commenced in April 2008. We continue to work on developing our other properties as well identifying new properties for acquisition.
For more information regarding our business, see our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2009.
Plan of Operations
Overview
Our Plan of Operations for the next 12 months is to concentrate on core projects: developing our Eight Mile Property in British Columbia, Canada for production, and to mature the 100 % interest in 2 sections of land in Alberta, Canada. Over the next 12 months, we plan to conduct the following: (i) on the Eight Mile Property in British Columbia, we expect to drill one more well at an estimated net expense of $450,000; (ii) on our Alberta land sections we plan to develop the land and perform seismic operations at an estimated expense of $450,000. Further, we expect to spend approximately $250,000 in the next 12 months in office and general expenses, as well as approximately $300,000 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 $1,450,000 to pursue our plan of operations over the next 12 months. As at March 31, 2009, we had cash of $7,777 and a working capital deficit of $378,444. 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.
