EXPLORATION STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
July 31, 2010
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Blackbird Petroleum Corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on October 9, 2006 under the name of Ark Development, Inc. The Company changed its name from Ark Development, Inc. to Blackbird Petroleum Corporation on November 28, 2008 The Company’s activities to date have been limited to organization and capital formation. The Company is “an exploration stage company” and has acquired oil and gas leases and participation interests for exploration and formulated a business plan to investigate the possibilities of a viable mineral deposit The Company has adopted October 31 as its fiscal year end.
These financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and are expressed in US dollars.
The accompanying unaudited financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Item 310(b) of Regulation S-X. They do not include all information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. However, except as disclosed herein, there has been no material change in the information disclosed in the notes to financial statements included in the report on Form 10-K of Ark Development, Inc. for the year ended October 31, 2009. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods have been made and are of a normal, recurring nature. Operating results for the three months ended July 31, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any interim period or the entire year. For further information, these financial statements and the related notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2009 included in the Company’s report on Form 10K.
NOTE 2 – NATURE OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company considers revenue to be recognized at the time the service is performed.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of the Company’s financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
| 6 |
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company’s short-term financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents and accounts payable. The carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate fair value because of their short-term maturities. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash. During the year the Company did not maintain cash deposits at financial institution in excess of the $100,000 limit covered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Company does not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes nor does it hold or issue interest rate or leveraged derivative financial instruments.
EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic Earnings per Share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common stock shares outstanding during the year. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common stock shares outstanding during the year plus potential dilutive instruments such as stock options and warrants. The effect of stock options on diluted EPS is determined through the application of the treasury stock method, whereby proceeds received by the Company based on assumed exercises are hypothetically used to repurchase the Company’s common stock at the average market price during the period. Loss per share is unchanged on a diluted basis as the Company does not have any common stock equivalents outstanding as of July 31, 2010.
INCOME TAXES
The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. This method of accounting requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax basis of certain assets and liabilities. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period, plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
Deferred income taxes may arise from temporary differences resulting from income and expanse items reported for financial accounting and tax purposes in different periods. Deferred taxes are classified as current or non-current, depending on the classification of the assets and liabilities to which they relate. Deferred taxes arising from temporary differences that are not related to an asset or liability are classified as current or non-current depending on the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse.
CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
The Company does not have any concentration of financial credit risk.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The Company does not expect that the adoption of other recent accounting pronouncements will have a material impact to its financial statements.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The Company does not expect that the adoption of other recent accounting pronouncements will have a material impact to its financial statements.
NOTE 3 – OIL AND GAS LEASE AND OIL AND GAS PARTICIPATION INTERESTS
The Company entered into the purchase of an oil & gas lease located in Palo Pinto County, Texas on January 3, 2007. This lease was acquired from a Company engaged in the exploration and development of oil and gas properties. The Company purchased this lease by issuing 1,500,000 shares of common stock valued at $.0033 per share and by payment of cash in the amount of $ 5,000 for a total purchase price of $10,000. After the acquisition of this lease, management performed an impairment test to determine the carrying value of this oil and gas lease. Management determined that there was no reasonable method to value the claims and has impaired the cost of this lease and recorded the expense during the period ended October 31, 2007. This amount has been reflected in the statement of operations as impairment of oil and gas property.
On October 20, 2008, the Company purchased an interest in two participation agreements form the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. The Company issued 30,000,000 shares of its common stock valued at $.006 per share for an aggregate value of $180,000 in exchange for these interests. The interests provide the Company oil and gas drilling rights in the Kahntah area of Northeast British Columbia. Management determined that there was no reasonable method to value these oil and gas participation interests and has impaired the cost of these interests during the year ended October 31, 2008. This amount has been reflected in the statement of operations as an impairment of oil and gas interests. One of the participation agreements requires the Company to make an additional payment of approximately $1,148,000 on or before January 1, 2009 to preserve the drilling rights outlined in the agreement. The Company has not made this required payment.
NOTE 4 – COMMON STOCK
The Company issued 3,000,000 shares of its common stock in October 2006 in exchange for services rendered, valued at $5,000.
During the year ended October 31, 2007 the Company issued 20,700,000 shares of its common stock in exchange for cash. 19,800,000 of these shares were valued at $.001667 and 900,000 of these shares were valued at $.005 for total aggregate cash received of $37,500.
Also, during the year ended October 31, 2007, the Company issued 2,400,000 shares of common stock under stock subscription agreements, at $.006 per share, for an aggregate value of $4,000. These amounts were recorded initially as stock subscription receivables in the financial statements and On December 4, 2007 the Company received $4,000 as payment for a stock subscription issued in the prior period.
| 8 |
On November 5, 2008, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a stock dividend, whereby two shares of common stock of the Company was issued for every one share of common stock. The record date for the stock dividend was established as November 25, 2008 and the stock dividend was issued on December 5, 2008. The stock dividend has been retroactively recorded in the financial statements of the Company as if the stock dividend had occurred at the inception of the Company.
On February 2, 2009, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a stock dividend, whereby on share of common stock of the Company was issued for every one share of common stock.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Statement of Forward-Looking Information
In this quarterly report, references to “Blackbird Petroleum Corporation,” “Blackbird,” “the Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Blackbird Petroleum Corporation.
Except for the historical information contained herein, some of the statements in this Report contain forward- looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. These statements are found in the sections entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations” and “Risk Factors.” They include statements concerning: our business strategy; expectations of market and customer response; liquidity and capital expenditures; future sources of revenues; expansion of our proposed product line; and trends in industry activity generally. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “could,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” “goal,” or “continue” or similar terminology. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including, but not limited to, the risks outlined under “Risk Factors,” that may cause our or our industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. For example, assumptions that could cause actual results to vary materially from future results include, but are not limited to: our ability to successfully develop and market our products to customers; our ability to generate customer demand for our products in our target markets; the development of our target markets and market opportunities; our ability to manufacture suitable products at competitive cost; market pricing for our products and for competing products; the extent of increasing competition; technological developments in our target markets and the development of alternate, competing technologies in them; and sales of shares by existing shareholders. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Unless we are required to do so under federal securities laws or other applicable laws, we do not intend to update or revise any forward-looking statements.
| 10 |
Managements discussion and Plan of Operations
We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on October 9, 2006 under the name Ark Development, Inc. We created a wholly owned corporate subsidiary in Nevada on October 29, 2008. On November 26, 2008 we merged with the subsidiary, Blackbird Petroleum Corporation. The surviving corporation is governed by the by-laws of Ark Development, Inc. We amended the articles of incorporation of the surviving corporation to change our name to Blackbird Petroleum Corporation.
Our Company focuses on exploration, acquisition, development and production of oil and natural gas reserves in Western Canada. Our business strategy is to economically increase reserves, production, and the sale of natural gas and oil from existing and acquired properties in Western Canada in order to maximize shareholders’ return over the long term.
In October 2008, the company entered into an agreement with Antonio Treminio, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, pursuant to which Mr. Treminio sold his interest in two agreements with Black Goose to the Company in exchange for 15,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Kahntah Participation Agreement granted us the right to participate in acquisitions of drilling rights to 13,000 acres in the Kahntah area of Northeast British Columbia for lands in “Redeye”, “Lapp” and “Pedigree”. The South Adsett Participation Agreement granted us the right to participate in drilling in 28,000 acres in the South Adsett area of British Columbia. We are now focused on exploration, acquisition, development and production of oil and natural gas reserves in Western Canada. Our business strategy is to economically increase reserves, production, and the sale of natural gas and oil from existing and acquired properties in Western Canada in order to maximize shareholders’ return over the long term.
We expect to generate long-term reserve and production growth through drilling activities and further acquisitions. Our expansion will include exploration, land acquisition, and production of oil and gas as well as asset and corporate acquisitions. We believe that our management’s experience and expertise will enable us identify, evaluate, and develop oil and natural gas projects. We intend to acquire additional producing oil and gas property rights where we believe significant additional value can be created.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) defines “critical accounting policies” as those that require application of management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Not all of the accounting policies require management to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments or estimates. However, the following policies could be deemed to be critical within the SEC definition.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when products are shipped to customers, net of allowances for anticipated returns. The Company’s revenue-earning activities generally involve delivering products and revenues are considered to be earned when the Company has completed the process by which it is entitled to such revenues. Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, selling price is fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured. The Company defers revenue recognition on products sold directly to the consumer with a fifteen day right of return. Revenue is recognized upon the expiration of the right of return.
| 11 |
The Company also earns revenues from certain R&D activities under both firm fixed-price contracts and cost-type contracts, including some cost-plus-fee contracts. Revenues on firm fixed-price contracts are recognized as costs are incurred (cost-to-cost basis). Revenues on cost-plus-fee contracts include costs incurred plus a portion of estimated fees or profits based on the relationship of costs incurred to total estimated costs. Contract costs include all direct material and labor costs and an allocation of allowable indirect costs as defined by each contract, as periodically adjusted to reflect revised agreed upon rates. These rates are subject to audit by the other party.
Use of Estimates
In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management utilizes certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, short-term investments, accounts payable and debt are shown at cost which approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
| 12 |
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The Company does not expect that the adoption of other accounting pronouncements will have a material impact to its financial statements. The selling, general and administrative expenses in the table for the period ending July 31, 2010 is $5740. These expenses are more than those than the previous quarter.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company will need additional investments in order to continue operations. Additional investments are being sought, but the Company cannot guarantee that it will be able to obtain such investments. Financing transactions may include the issuance of equity or debt securities, obtaining credit facilities, or other financing mechanisms. The recent downturn in the U.S. stock and debt markets could make it more difficult to obtain financing through the issuance of equity or debt securities. Even if the Company is able to raise the funds required, it is possible that it could incur unexpected costs and expenses, fail to collect significant amounts red to it, or experience unexpected cash requirements that would force it to seek alternative financing. Further, if the Company issues additional equity or debt securities, stockholders may experience additional dilution or the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders
Net of fees at the close of the recent equity private placement we had no available cash. We plan to continue to provide for our capital needs by issuing debt or equity securities.
We will require additional financing in order to complete our stated plan of operations for the next twelve months. There can be no assurance, however, that such financing will be available or, if it is available, that we will be able to structure such financing on terms acceptable to us and that it will be sufficient to fund our cash requirements until we can reach a level of profitable operations and positive cash flows. If we are unable to obtain the financing necessary to support our operations, we may be unable to continue as a going concern. We currently have no firm commitments for any additional capital.
Even if we are able to raise the funds required, it is possible that we could incur unexpected costs and expenses, fail to collect significant amount owed to us, or experience unexpected cash requirements that would force us to seek alternative financing. Further, if we issue additional equity or debt securities, stockholders may experience additional dilution or the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of our shares of common stock. If additional financing is not available or is not available on acceptable terms, we will have to curtail our operations.
We presently do not have any available credit, bank financing or other external sources of liquidity. Due to our brief history and historical operating losses, our operations have not been a source of liquidity. We will need to obtain additional capital in order to expand operations and become profitable. In order to obtain capital, we may need to sell additional shares of our common stock or borrow funds from private lenders. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining additional funding.
| 13 |
To date, we have generated no revenues and have incurred operating losses in every quarter. We have stated report that we are an early exploration company and have not generated revenues from operations. These factors among others may raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues, results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures.
ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Market Rate Risk
We are exposed to market risk related to changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchanges rates.
Interest Rate Risk
We hold our assets in cash and cash equivalents. We do not hold derivative financial instruments or equity securities.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
Our revenue and expenses are denominated in U.S. dollars. We have conducted some transactions in foreign currencies and expect to continue to do so; we do not anticipate that foreign exchange gains or losses will be significant. We have not engaged in foreign currency hedging to date.
Our international business is subject to risks typical of international activity, including, but not limited to, differing economic conditions; change in political climates; differing tax structures; and other regulations and restrictions. Accordingly, our future results could be impacted by changes in these or other factors.
Item 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) and pursuant to Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) as of April 30, 2009. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
Based on our evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are designed at a reasonable assurance level and were fully effective as of July 31. 2010 in providing reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission 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.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting.
We regularly review our system of internal control over financial reporting and make changes to our processes and systems to improve controls and increase efficiency, while ensuring that we maintain an effective internal control environment. Changes may include such activities as implementing new, more efficient systems, consolidating activities, and migrating processes.
There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as such term is defined under Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the period covered by this report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
