FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements in this quarterly report include, among others, statements regarding our capital needs, business plans and expectations. Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to the following:

  • our need for additional financing;
  • our exploration activities may not result in commercially exploitable quantities of oil and gas on our properties;
  • the risks inherent in the exploration for oil and gas such as weather, accidents, equipment failures and governmental restrictions;
  • our limited operating history;
  • our history of operating losses;
  • the potential for environmental damage;
  • our lack of insurance coverage;
  • the competitive environment in which we operate;
  • the level of government regulation, including environmental regulation;
  • changes in governmental regulation and administrative practices;
  • our dependence on key personnel;
  • conflicts of interest of our directors and officers;
  • our ability to fully implement our business plan;
  • our ability to effectively manage our growth; and
  • other regulatory, legislative and judicial developments.

Forward-looking statements are made, without limitation, in relation to operating plans, property exploration and development, availability of funds, environmental reclamation, operating costs and permit acquisition. Any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical facts may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may", "will", "should", "expect", "plan", "intend", "anticipate", "believe", "estimate", "predict", "potential" or "continue", the negative of such terms or other comparable terminology. Actual events or results may differ materially. In evaluating these statements, you should consider various factors, including the risks outlined in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, and, from time to time, in other reports that we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). These factors may cause our actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking statement. Given these uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.

PARK PLACE ENERGY CORP.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(An Exploration Stage Company)
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
SEPTEMBER 30, 2010
(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 Business 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. On August 31, 2009, the Company affected a forward split of its shares of common stock on a one old share for ten new shares basis on that date and increased the authorized share capital from 1,200,000,000 shares of common stock to 12,000,000,000 shares of common stock. On March 24, 2010, the Company affected a reverse stock split of its common shares on a three hundred old shares for one new share basis, decreasing the authorized share capital from 12,000,000,000 common shares to 40,000,000 common shares. All references to number of shares outstanding, earnings per share, stock options and warrants have been adjusted to reflect the above mentioned stock splits.

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 properties. Park Place Energy Corp. held 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. 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.

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 $12,161,943 as of September 30, 2010. 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.

1.           NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS (cont'd...)




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 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

Recent accounting pronouncements


In February 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update "ASU" 2010-09, Subsequent Events (Topic 855), amending ASC 855. ASU 2010-09 removes the requirement for an SEC filer to disclose a date relating to its subsequent events in both issued and revised financial statements. ASU 2010-09 also eliminates potential conflicts with the SEC's literature. Most of ASU 2010-09 is effective upon issuance of the update. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820), Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements, amending ASC 820. ASU 2010-06 requires entities to provide new disclosures and clarify existing disclosures relating to fair value measurements. The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in Level 3 fair value measurements, which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

During the third quarter of 2009, the Company adopted the FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 105,"Generally Accepted Accounting Principles"(the Codification).  The Codification has become the source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities.  Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants.  Effective with the Company's adoption on July 1, 2009, the Codification has superseded all prior non-SEC accounting and reporting standards.  All other non-grandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification has become non-authoritative.  As the adoption of the Codification only affected how specific references to GAAP literature have been disclosed in the notes to the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements, it did not result in any impact on the Company's results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

In September 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance regarding multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements.  This guidance addresses how to separate deliverables and how to measure and allocate consideration to one or more units of accounting.  Specifically, the guidance requires that consideration be allocated among multiple deliverables based on relative selling prices.  The guidance establishes a selling price hierarchy of (1) vendor-specific objective evidence, (2) third-party evidence and (3) estimated selling price.  This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after June 15, 2010 but may be early adopted as of the beginning of an annual period.  The Company is currently evaluating the effect that this guidance will have on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.

2.           SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd...)




Recent accounting pronouncements (cont'd...)


ASC 855-10-20, "Subsequent Events" establishes accounting and reporting standards for events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued and requires the disclosure of the date through which a company has evaluated subsequent events.  This statement is effective for the Company's third quarter ended September 30, 2009 and the adoption did not have an impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.  See Note 11 for the required disclosures.

In April 2009, the FASB issued ASC 820-10-65 formerly FASB Staff Position FAS 157-4, "Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly" ("FSP 157-4"). This provides significant guidance for determining when a market has become inactive as well as guidance for determining whether transactions are not orderly. It also provides guidance on the use of valuation techniques and the use of broker quotes and pricing services. It reiterates that fair value is based on an exit price and also that fair value is market-driven and not entity-specific. The accounting standard of codification applies to all assets and liabilities within the scope of ASC 820 and is effective for all interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of ASC 820-10-65 did not have a material effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position, and cash flows.

In April 2009, the FASB issued ASC 320-10-65, formerly FASB Staff Position FAS 115-2, FAS 124-2 and EITF 99-20-2, "Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments" ("FSP 115-2"). This accounting standard provides guidance related to determining the amount of an other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) of debt securities and prescribes the method to be used to present information about an OTTI in the financial statements.  It is effective for all interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of ASC 320-10-65 did not have a material effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position, and cash flows.

In April 2009, the FASB issued ASC 825-10-65, formerly FASB Staff Position FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, "Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments" ("FSP 107-1"), which increases the frequency of fair value disclosures to a quarterly basis instead of an annual basis. The guidance relates to fair value disclosures for any financial instruments that are not currently reflected on the balance sheet at fair value. This ASC is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of ASC 825-10-65 did not have a material effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position, and cash flows.

9.           FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Financial instruments, including receivables, exploration advance, prepaids, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are carried at cost, which management believes approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. Unless otherwise noted, it is management's opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. The company's investments are classified as held-for-trading and are marked-to-market at each reporting date with the unrealized gains or losses being recognized in net income.

Under GAAP, fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.  A fair value hierarchy is also established, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.   There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

          Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

          Level 2 - quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable

          Level 3 - inputs that are unobservable (for example cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions)

At September 30, 2010 our cash and investments were measured using level one inputs.

10.         SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

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 nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 should be read in conjunction with our unaudited interim financial statements and related notes for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009. 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 under the heading "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Overview of our Business

We are currently 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 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.

Effective January 15, 2010, we entered into debt settlement agreements with ten offshore investors whereby we issued an aggregate of 374,448,910 shares of common stock, at a deemed price of $0.001 per share (1,248,163 shares at a deemed price of $0.30 per share on a post March 24, 2010 reverse split basis) in settlement of certain debt obligations. As part of the settlement, the Company received a 50% working interest in an exploration oil and gas property covering 80 acres in Saskatchewan, Canada.

On May 11, 2010 the Company entered into an Assignment Agreement with Canadian Rigger Energy Inc. ("Canadian Rigger") whereby the Company assigned one-half of its 50% working interest in this property to Canadian Rigger, bringing the Company's position in the property to a 25% working interest. The portion of the Company's working interest was sold in consideration for an aggregate of 750,000 Canadian Rigger shares at a deemed price of CAD$0.10 per share for an aggregate deemed consideration of approximately CAD$75,000.

Plan of Operations

Overview

Our Plan of Operations for the next 12 months is to develop the land and perform seismic operations on our Farmout Lands property at an estimated expense of $500,000. Further, we expect to spend approximately $150,000 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 $950,000 to pursue our plan of operations over the next 12 months. As at September 30, 2010, we had cash of $5,742 and a working capital deficit of $147,250. 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.

Results of Operations

The following table sets forth our results of operations from inception on May 2, 2006 to September 30, 2010 as well as for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009.
