American Natural Energy Corporation
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
September 30, 2007 and 2006

1	Significant accounting policies
	The accounting policies and methods followed in preparing these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are those used by American Natural Energy Corporation (the “Company”) as described in Note 1 of the notes to consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and do not conform in all respects to the disclosure and information that is required for annual consolidated financial statements. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the most recent annual consolidated financial statements of the Company.
	In the opinion of management, all adjustments, all of which are of a normal recurring nature, considered necessary for fair statement have been included in these interim condensed consolidated financial statements. Operating results for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007 are not indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2007.
	Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation.
	Income tax expense
	SFAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, requires that the Company record a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that a portion or all of its deferred tax asset will not be realized. As a result of such evaluation as of December 31, 2006 and September 30, 2007, the Company concluded that it is more likely than not that no benefit from deferred tax assets will be realized. Therefore, for all periods presented, a full valuation allowance was recorded, causing the effective income tax expense to be zero.
	Interest and financing costs
	Interest expense is recognized in the period incurred, and consists primarily of interest cost associated with the Company’s 8% convertible secured debentures (the “Debentures”) issued in October 2003. Interest cost on the Debentures includes interest expense at the stated rate and the accretion of a discount, which is determined using the effective interest method. The bond discount was fully accreted at the maturity date of September 30, 2006. Discount accretion during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $69,000 and $205,000 respectively.
	A portion of interest cost is capitalized on significant investments in unproved properties that were not being depreciated, depleted or amortized and on which exploration and development activities

7

American Natural Energy Corporation
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
September 30, 2007 and 2006

	were in progress during the reporting period. The amount of interest cost to be capitalized is primarily determined using the weighted average interest rate on outstanding borrowings. No interest was capitalized during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006.
	New pronouncements
	In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation (FIN) No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109. FIN 48 provides guidance for recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions, as defined in SFAS 109. FIN 48 prescribes a threshold condition that a tax position must meet for any of the benefit of the uncertain tax position to be recognized in the financial statements. Guidance is also provided regarding de-recognition, classification and disclosure of these uncertain tax positions. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The implementation of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
	In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities(“ SFAS No. 159”) . SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. SFAS 159 expands the use of fair value measurement and applies to entities that elect the fair value option. SFAS 159 is effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently assessing the impact, if any, the adoption of SFAS 159 will have on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
2	Earnings (loss) per share
	Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income or loss (the numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period (the denominator). The computation of diluted earnings per share is the same as for basic earnings per share except the denominator is increased to include the weighted average additional number of shares that would have been outstanding if previously granted stock options had been exercised, unless they are anti-dilutive.
3	Going Concern, Liquidity and Capital Resources
	The Company currently has a severe shortage of working capital and funds to pay its liabilities. The Company’s debentures in the amount of $10,825,000 which were due on September 30, 2006 have not been repaid or refinanced as of March 17, 2008 and are in default. As of September 30, 2007, interest in the amount of $1,299,000 on the debentures had accrued and was unpaid when due. The Company has no current borrowing capacity with any lender. The Company incurred a net loss of $2,279,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The Company has sustained substantial losses during the year ended December 31, 2006, totaling approximately $2.5 million and has a working capital deficiency and an accumulated deficit at September 30, 2007 which leads to questions concerning the ability of the Company to meet its obligations as they come due. The

8

American Natural Energy Corporation
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
September 30, 2007 and 2006

	Company also has a need for substantial funds to develop its oil and gas properties and repay borrowings as well as to meet its other current liabilities.
	The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. As a result of the losses incurred and current negative working capital, there is no assurance that the carrying amounts of assets will be realized or that liabilities will be liquidated or settled for the amounts recorded. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon adequate sources of capital and the Company’s ability to sustain positive results of operations and cash flows sufficient to continue to explore for and develop its oil and gas reserves and pay its obligations.
	Management’s strategy has been to obtain additional financing or industry partners. Certain covenants included in the 8% convertible secured debentures in the amount of $10,825,000 which were due September 30, 2006, limit the amount of additional indebtedness the Company can incur to $2 million. It is management’s intention to raise additional debt or equity financing to either repay or refinance these debentures and to fund its operations and capital expenditures or to enter into another transaction in order to maximize shareholder value. Failure to obtain additional financing can be expected to adversely affect the Company’s ability to pay its obligations, further the development of its properties, including the ExxonMobil area of mutual interest (the “AMI”), grow revenues, oil and gas reserves and achieve and maintain a significant level of revenues, cash flows, and profitability. There can be no assurance that the Company will obtain this additional financing at the time required, at rates that are favorable to the Company, or at all. Further, any additional equity financing that is obtained may result in material dilution to the current holders of common stock.
4	Notes Payable and Long Term Debt
	8% Convertible secured debentures
	On October 21, 2003 and October 31, 2003, the Company completed financing transactions of $11.695 million and $305,000, respectively, by issuing the Debentures. The Debentures are collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s assets and have covenants limiting unsecured borrowing to $2 million and restricting the payment of dividends and capital distributions. The Debentures were originally repayable on September 30, 2005 with interest payable quarterly commencing December 31, 2003 at 8% per annum. The outstanding principal of the Debentures was originally convertible by the holders into common shares of the Company at any time prior to maturity at a conversion price of $0.45 per share, subject to antidilution adjustment.
	During the third quarter of 2004, the Company completed a Rights Offering. Due to the antidilution adjustment provisions contained in the Debenture Agreement, such transaction changed the conversion price of the debentures from $0.45 to $0.43 per share and as a result changed the related Beneficial Conversion Feature by $858,000. The change in the Beneficial Conversion Feature caused the effective rate of the debentures to increase from 55% to 62%.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
September 30, 2007 and 2006

In June 2005, the Debentures were amended with the approval by approximately 86% of the Debentureholders. The amendments extended the maturity date of the Debentures by one year to September 30, 2006, reduced through the maturity date of the Debentures the per share price at which the principal of the Debentures could be converted into shares of Common Stock to $0.15 per share, and provided for the partial release of the lien collateralizing the Debentures in the event a third party entered into an agreement with the Company pursuant to which the third party is granted the right to drill one or more wells on Company properties and commenced that drilling activity. On June 23, 2005, stockholders of the Company voted to amend the Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company from 100 million to 250 million and adjust par value from $0.01 to $0.001 per share. This increase in authorized shares, along with the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange to the transactions, provided final approval of the Debenture amendments.

The amendments to the Debentures resulted in the extinguishment of debt and recognition of a loss during fiscal year 2005 of $1,147,000. As a result of the extinguishment and recognition of loss, these Debentures were recorded at their fair market value on June 23, 2005 reflecting the present value of future cash flows and the option value of the underlying convertible shares.

Since June 30, 2006, the Company has not made any interest payments due under the Debenture agreement. In addition, the Company failed to repay or redeem the Debentures by the due date of September 30, 2006. Pursuant to the Indenture governing the Debentures, the Trustee may, and upon request in writing from the holders of not less than 25% of the principal amount of the Debentures then outstanding, declare the outstanding principal of and all interest on the Debentures and other moneys outstanding under the Indenture to be immediately due and payable. In addition, the Trustee will have the right to enforce its rights on behalf of the Debenture holders against the collateral for the Debentures which are collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s assets. At September 30, 2007, the Debentures are outstanding in the principal amount of $10,825,000 and accrued and unpaid interest at that date amounts to $1,299,000. As of March 17, 2008, neither the Trustee nor the requisite holders of principal amount of Debentures have declared the Debentures to be immediately due and payable.

The conversion rights expired on September 29, 2006 and were not renewed.

On December 22, 2006, Dune Energy acquired $3.0 million principal amount of the Company’s Debentures held by TransAtlantic Petroleum. In January and February, 2007, Dune Energy acquired from the holders an additional $4,895,000 principal amount of Debentures bringing Dune Energy’s total holdings of the Company’s Debentures outstanding to $7,895,000 principal amount as of March 17, 2008.

Notes payable

On February 2, 2005, the Company entered into a $100,000 unsecured short-term note with a NYP floating interest rate with Citizens Bank of Oklahoma. The note and interest were paid in full on July 6, 2007.

Payments include interest at the rate of 15% per annum. The note was paid in full on December 20, 2007.
5	Note payable — related party
	On May 4, 2006, the Company entered into a note payable with Mike Paulk, an officer of the Company, in the amount of $198,000. On August 9, 2006 Mike Paulk loaned an additional $10,000 to the Company. In November 2006, $12,000 was repaid. Interest will accrue at the rate of 10% per annum.
6	Oil and gas properties
	On October 19, 2005 the Company executed the definitive Exploration and Development Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Dune Energy, Inc. (“Dune Energy”), that provided for the creation of an area of mutual interest covering an area of approximately 31,367 acres in which the Company and Dune Energy agreed to share all rights, title and interest owned or acquired on an equal basis. The area of mutual interest created by the Agreement includes the acreage covered by the Company’s Joint Development Agreement, as amended, with ExxonMobil Corporation that was originally executed in November 2002. On June 26, 2007 Dune Energy agreed to increase its participation to 75% of the Company’s interests under these agreements, excluding the area under the Bayou Couba lease itself, where Dune Energy retains a participation of 50% of the Company’s interest, in return for a payment of $3 million to the Company, which was received in July 2007. On September 1, 2007 Dune Energy was elected successor operator under the joint development agreement and paid the Company

	$500,000. These payments reduced the Company’s unproved oil and gas properties during the periods ended June 30 and September 30, 2007.
7	Taxes Payable
	On January 31, 2005, the Company made application with applicable Canadian authorities to dissolve and terminate Gothic Resources Inc. (“Gothic”). In conjunction with the application for dissolution, the prior tax returns and tax status of Gothic have been reviewed by the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency (“CRA”). The CRA has assessed Gothic $178,000 (Cdn$178,679) in additional taxes based on the review of such returns. At December 31, 2006, the Company had accrued $302,000 for this potential exposure and the corresponding difference of $124,000 reduced selling, general and administrative expense for the periods ended September 30, 2007.
8	Commitments and contingencies
	Citizens Bank of Oklahoma, N.A. has issued an irrevocable standby letter of credit, dated January 12, 2007 and July 12, 2007 in the amount of $125,000 drawn in favor of RLI Insurance Company securing a surety bond in favor of the Louisiana Office of Conservation for plugging and abandonment obligations which may occur as a result of drilling operations in St. Charles Parish, Louisiana. The standby letter of credit was withdrawn and the surety bond released effective with Dune Energy assuming field operations on September 1, 2007.
	With respect to the acquisition of the Company’s Bayou Couba lease acreage, the Company agreed that the Class 7 creditors to the ANEC/Couba Reorganization Plan (“Plan”) would receive a contingent payable from future production of the properties in the amount of approximately $4.9 million. The contingent payable is in the form of a net profits interest (“NPI”). The amount of the NPI, which ranges from 6% to 50%, depends on whether the well existed as of the effective date of the Plan or, if not, where within the acreage the well was drilled. The Company is entitled to recover all capital and operating costs prior to the NPI becoming payable. At a minimum, the Class 7 creditors are to receive an overriding royalty interest that is in payment of the contingent payable. The Company is accounting for any contingent purchase price payments to the Class 7 creditors as additions to the full cost pool as production occurs.
	The Company agreed that, after repayment to the Company of 200% of all costs of bankruptcy, drilling, development and field operations from net revenues of the Bayou Couba Lease and the 23.5 square mile area of mutual interest, including payments made by the Company to all creditors of all classes under the Plan, the former holders of equity securities of Couba will be entitled to a working interest in the wells in the Bayou Couba Lease equal to 25% of the working interest obtained by the Company directly from Couba at the time of confirmation and as a result of the Plan of reorganization of Couba and a 25% interest in the Company’s interest in the 23.5 square mile area of mutual interest held by the Company on the effective date of the Plan.
	The Company is a defendant in a number of legal proceedings which it considers to be routine litigation that is incidental to its business. The Company does not expect to incur any material liability as a consequence of such litigation.

9	Asset retirement obligations
	Effective January 1, 2003, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations (“SFAS 143”). This statement applies to obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction and development of the assets.
	SFAS 143 requires that the fair value of a liability for a retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which the liability is incurred. For oil and gas properties, this is the period in which an oil or gas well is acquired or drilled. The asset retirement obligation, which for the Company consists of the cost of plugging and abandonment of oil and gas properties, is capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the asset at its discounted fair value. The liability is then accreted each period until the liability is settled or the asset is sold, at which time the liability is reversed.
	The components of the change in the Company’s asset retirement obligations for the period ended September 30, 2007 are shown below.

Asset retirement obligations, January 1	1,740,535
Additions and revisions	—
Settlements and disposals	—
Accretion expense	143,941
Asset retirement obligations, September 30, 2007	1,884,476

10	Stock-based compensation
	On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted FAS 123(R), which requires companies to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant date fair value of the award. The Company has elected to use the modified prospective application method such that FAS 123(R) applies to new awards, the unvested portion of existing awards and to awards modified, repurchased or canceled after the effective date. The Company has equity incentive plans that provide for the issuance of stock options. These plans are discussed more fully in the Company’s Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2006. All options expire five years from the date of grant. Generally, stock options granted to employees and directors vest ratably over two years from the grant date. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense over the vesting period of the individual grants.
	Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for its long-term equity incentive plans under the intrinsic value method described in APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and related interpretation. The Company, applying the intrinsic value method, did not

September 30, 2007 and 2006

	record stock-based compensation cost for stock options issued to employees and directors because the exercise price of the stock options equaled the market price of the underlying stock at the date of grant.
	For the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company recognized compensation costs of $469 related to stock options issued prior to January 1, 2006. There is no unrecognized compensation costs related to stock options not yet vested as all stock options are vested at September 30, 2007.
	No new stock options have been granted subsequent to January 1, 2006. At September 30, 2007 there were 1,250,000 options outstanding and exercisable with a weighted average exercise price of $0.50. The weighted average remaining contractual term for these options at September 30, 2007 was 1.5 years. These options had no intrinsic value at September 30, 2007.
11	Subsequent events
	On January 29, 2008, the Company entered into a settlement with Canary Wellhead Equipment whereby the Company settled outstanding invoices and costs of $49,000 with a one time payment of $10,000. The entire amount was unpaid at September 30, 2007.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation

General

     We currently are experiencing a severe shortage of working capital and funds to pay our liabilities. Our debentures in the amount of $10,825,000 which were due on September 30, 2006 have not been repaid or refinanced as of March 17, 2008 and are in default. As of September 30, 2007, interest in the amount of $1,299,000 on the debentures had accrued and was unpaid when due. We have no current borrowing capacity with any lender. We have incurred a net loss of $2,279,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. We have sustained substantial losses during the year ended December 31, 2006, totaling approximately $2.5 million, and we have a working capital deficiency and an accumulated deficit at September 30, 2007 which leads to questions concerning our ability to meet our obligations as they come due. We also have a need for substantial funds to develop our oil and gas properties and repay borrowings as well as to meet our other current liabilities.

     The accompanying financial statements in this Report have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The independent registered public accounting firm’s report on our financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2006 includes an explanatory paragraph which states that we have sustained substantial losses in 2006 and 2005 and have a working capital deficiency and an accumulated deficit at December 31, 2006, that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. As a result of our losses incurred and current negative working capital, there is no assurance that the carrying amounts of assets will be realized or that liabilities will be liquidated or settled for the amounts recorded. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon adequate sources of capital and our ability to sustain positive results of operations and cash flows sufficient to continue to explore for and develop our oil and gas reserves and pay our obligations.

     As described above, we failed to repay the principal on our outstanding 8% Convertible Secured Debentures at their maturity on September 30, 2006 and also failed to meet any of the interest payments due quarterly from June 30, 2006 through March 17, 2008. Accordingly, pursuant to the Indenture governing the Debentures, an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at this time. Under those circumstances, the Trustee may, and upon request in writing from the holders of not less than 25% of the principal amount of the Debentures then outstanding, declare the outstanding principal of and all interest on the Debentures and other moneys outstanding under the Indenture to be immediately due and payable. In addition, the Trustee will have the right to enforce its rights on behalf of the Debenture holders against the collateral for the Debentures which are collateralized by substantially all of our assets.

     On May 1, 2007, the British Columbia Securities Commission issued a cease trade order restricting trading in the Company’s securities by certain of its insiders until the Company files the Annual Financial Statements and related annual filings. Effective July 25, 2007 TSX Venture Exchange suspended trading in the Company’s securities as a result of the Cease Trade Order issued by the British Columbia Securities Commission.

     A Comparison of Operating Results For The Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006

     We incurred a net loss of $2,279,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to a net loss of $2,576,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, our revenues were comprised of oil and gas sales and operations income totaling $992,000 compared with oil and gas sales and operations income of $1,364,000 during the same period of 2006. Our oil and gas sales and operations income for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 were lower as a result of decreased production. Our net average daily production for the nine month period ended September 30, 2007 decreased by 31% over the same period of the prior year, from 339 (70 net) barrels of oil equivalent per day to 249 (48 net) barrels of oil equivalent per day. Oil and gas prices were consistent for the two periods at $65.58 per barrel of oil equivalent for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and $65.09 per barrel of oil equivalent for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Production from our existing wells is subject to fluctuation based upon which zones of wells are in production. Declines in our production were also the consequence of our shortage of capital and the limitations placed on our capital expenditures required to enhance and increase production from new and existing wells.

     Our total expenses were $3.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to total expenses of $3.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Our general and administrative expenses were $876,000 and $1,284,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 respectively. The decrease was primarily due to reduced fees for professional services and a reduction in the estimated Canadian taxes due on the dissolution of Gothic Resources.

     Interest and financing costs decreased from $1,020,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 to $789,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Interest expense decreased in the 2007 period due to the lack of amortization of financing costs related to amending our debentures as these costs were fully amortized by September 2006.

     Lease operating expenses of $202,000, production taxes of $70,000 and depletion, depreciation and amortization of $470,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 changed from $259,000, $82,000, and $795,000, respectively, during the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Lease operating expenses were lower due to a decrease in production and well maintenance. Production taxes decreased as a result of lower production. The decrease in depletion, depreciation and amortization is due to lower production in the first nine months of 2007 compared to the same period of 2006 which results in lower depletion.

     During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we had a foreign exchange loss of $1.7 million, compared to a $500,000 foreign exchange loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Our foreign exchange gains and losses arise out of an inter-company indebtedness we owe to our wholly-owned subsidiary, Gothic, which is payable in Canadian

16

dollars. The foreign exchange loss was caused by the weakening of the US dollar against the Canadian dollar.

     During the third quarter of 2007, the Company settled $1.4 million of debt for a net gain of $837,000. There were no such gains for the same period in 2006.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

     A decline in production from our drilling program has decreased revenues during the year ended December 31, 2006 and the first nine months of 2007. To date, our production has not been sufficient to fund our operations and drilling program. We have funded our capital expenditures and operating activities through a series of private and public debt and equity transactions and through an increase in vendor payables and note payables. At September 30, 2007, we do not have any available borrowing capacity and have negative working capital of approximately $17.4 million. Our current liabilities include $10.8 million of convertible secured debentures originally due on September 30, 2006, but which remain unpaid and outstanding as of March 17, 2008.

     We have substantial needs for funds to develop our oil and gas prospects and opportunities identified in the AMI we share with ExxonMobil Corp. Any capital expenditures we currently intend to make will be funded from our available cash flows. To the extent additional funds are required to fully exploit and develop our unproved properties and the ExxonMobil Corp. AMI, it is management’s plan to seek to raise additional capital through the private or public sale of our equity securities, borrowings, or the sale of interests in our drilling activities or other alternative strategic transactions; however, we currently have no firm commitment from any potential investors and such additional capital may not be available to us in the future.

A Comparison of Cash Flow For The Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006

     Our net cash used by operating activities was $1,076,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $1,101,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, a decrease of $2,177,000. The decrease net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was primarily due to a non-cash gain on settlement of debt and negative changes in accounts payable, partially offset by a larger foreign exchange loss and positive changes in accounts receivable during the period. Changes in working capital items had the effect of decreasing cash flows from operating activities by $632,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 due to a decrease in accounts payable of $633,000, partially offset by a reduction in accounts receivable and prepaid expenses.. Changes in working capital items had the effect of increasing cash flows from operating activities by $2.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 because

17

accounts receivable turnover exceeded that of accounts payable, revenues payable and accrued liabilities.

     We generated $1,706,000 of cash from investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to net cash used of $931,000 in 2006. The 2007 cash provided by investing activities included $2,946,000 in proceeds from the sale of participation rights (which were accounted for as a reduction in unproved properties), partially offset by $1,181,000 for the purchase and development of oil and gas properties. We used $80,000 for the purchase of fixed assets and received proceeds of $22,000 from the sale of fixed assets. The 2006 cash used in investing activities includes $1,084,000 for the purchase and development of oil and gas properties and $9,000 for the purchase of fixed assets. Additionally in the first three quarters of 2006, we had proceeds from the sale of participation rights of $163,000. The expenditures for oil and gas properties in 2007 and 2006 are primarily the result of the development of oil and gas properties acquired in prior periods.

     We used $439,000 of net cash in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to $333,000 of net cash used in financing activities for the same period in 2006. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, net cash outflows from financing activities were primarily a result of payments against outstanding notes and bank overdrafts.

     We have no other commitments to expend additional funds for drilling activities for the rest of 2007.

How We Have Financed Our Activities

     Our activities since 2002 have been financed primarily from sales of debt and equity securities and drilling participations. Beginning in 2005, we have also financed our activities through notes and accounts payable.

     On October 21, 2003 and October 31, 2003, we completed financing transactions of $11.695 million and $305,000, respectively, by issuing our Convertible Secured Debentures (the “Debentures”). Initially, the Debentures were repayable on September 30, 2005 with interest payable quarterly commencing December 31, 2003 at 8% per annum. At the dates of issuance, the outstanding principal of the Debentures was convertible by the holders into our common shares at any time prior to maturity at a conversion price of $0.45 per share, subject to antidilution adjustment. The Debentures are collateralized by substantially all of our assets. The Debentures have covenants limiting unsecured borrowings to $2 million and restricting the payment of dividends and capital distributions.

     In June 2005, the Debentures were amended with approval by approximately 86% of the Debentureholders. The amendments extended the maturity date of the Debentures by one year to September 30, 2006, reduced through the maturity date of the Debentures the per share price at which the principal of the Debentures could be converted into shares of common stock to $0.15 per share, and provided for the partial release of the lien collateralizing the Debentures in the

18

event a third party entered into an agreement with us pursuant to which the third party is granted the right to drill one or more wells on our properties and commenced that drilling activity. The conversion rights expired on September 29, 2006 and were not renewed. On June 23, 2005, our stockholders voted to amend our Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of shares of common stock we are authorized to issue from 100 million shares to 250 million shares and reduced the par value from $0.01 to $0.001 per share. This increase in authorized shares, along with the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange to the transactions, provided final approval of the Debenture amendments. As of March 17, 2008, the Debentures have not been repaid or refinanced and are in default.

     Out of the proceeds from the sale of the Debentures in 2003, we used approximately $5.9 million for the repayment of secured debt, approximately $2.1 million for the payment of accounts payable and used the balance primarily for exploration and development of our Bayou Couba oil and gas leases within the ExxonMobil Joint Development Project in St. Charles Parish, Louisiana. In addition, we paid out of the proceeds a $1.7 million production payment owing to TransAtlantic. TransAtlantic retained a 10% participation right in our AMI with ExxonMobil which we granted in March 2003 as partial consideration for the $2.0 million financing entered into at that time. On both October 21 and 31, 2003, the dates the transaction was completed, the closing sale prices for our shares were $0.70 on the TSX Venture Exchange.

     Purchasers of the Debentures included TransAtlantic, $3.0 million principal amount, and Quest Capital Corp., $500,000 principal amount. Mr. Brian Bayley, who has been a Director of our company since June 2001, is also President and Chief Executive Officer of Quest Capital Corp. and a Director of TransAtlantic. Quest Capital Corp. is engaged in merchant banking activities in Canada and elsewhere which includes providing financial services to small and mid-cap companies operating primarily in North America. Quest Investment Corporation is a predecessor company of Quest Capital Corp.

     On December 22, 2006, Dune Energy Inc. (“Dune Energy”) acquired $3.0 million principal amount of our 8% Convertible Subordinated Debentures held by Trans Atlantic. During the first quarter of 2007, Dune Energy acquired from the holders an additional $4,895,000 principal amount of Debentures bringing Dune Energy’s total holdings of our Debentures outstanding to $7,895,000 principal amount as of March 17, 2008.

     In connection with the Debenture financing and under the terms of the transaction, two persons were designated to serve as Directors of our company. Pursuant to these terms, Mr. Jules Poscente, Chairman and Director of Eurogas Corp. of Calgary, Alberta and Gerry Curtis of Bermuda were elected to our Board of Directors. Mr. Poscente resigned November 28, 2006, and Mr. Curtis died March 24, 2006. Successor directors have not been named.

     In August 2004, we completed the sale, pursuant to the issuance of stock purchase rights to all our stockholders, of 6,941,414 shares of our common stock for gross proceeds of $1,665,939. After deducting the expenses of the offering, $1,433,287 of the net proceeds was applied to our oil and natural gas well drilling activities, including the re-drilling of the ExxonMobil Fee 2 well.

19

     During the third quarter of 2005, we completed a private sale of 12,193,333 shares of our common stock for gross proceeds of $1,463,000 ($1,428,000 net). Additionally, 2,170,000 shares were issued as payment for professional services in the amount of $250,000 relating to restructuring of our Debentures. The net proceeds were used for working capital and the drilling of 3 wells.

     In September 2005, we entered into a Participation Agreement with Dune Energy. Pursuant to the Agreement, Dune Energy acquired certain exploration and development rights in our ExxonMobil Corp. joint development agreement. The agreement also creates an area of mutual interest in the ExxonMobil Corp. lands as well as certain additional lands including the Bayou Couba Lease lands. A prospect fee of $1.0 million was paid under the terms of the agreement. The agreement provides Dune Energy with the right to participate in 50% of our development rights in the Bayou Couba lease. Dune Energy also has the right to participate in the exploration rights in the ExxonMobil Corp. acreage, which it received in exchange for the commitment to pay an additional $500,000. The $500,000 was waived as a result of the March 8, 2006 seismic agreement whereby Dune Energy agreed to pay 100% of the costs of an expanded 3D seismic survey over the Bayou Couba area. On June 26, 2007 Dune Energy increased its participation to 75% of our interest under these agreements, excluding the area under the Bayou Couba lease itself where it retains a participation of 50% of our interest, with the payment of $3 million. On September 1, 2007 Dune Energy was elected successor operator under the joint development agreement and Dune Energy paid the Company an additional $500,000. Each party will pay their respective share of drilling, completion and operations costs. .

     The area of mutual interest created by the Agreement, in which we have agreed with Dune Energy to share all rights, title and interest owned or acquired on an equal basis, includes our Bayou Cuba lease acreage of approximately 1,319 acres, the acreage covered by our development agreement with ExxonMobil of approximately 11,486 acres included in the 31,367 acre area, as well as any additional acreage offered to us or Dune Energy by ExxonMobil as the result of the acquisition of additional 3-D seismic data by the parties under the terms of the Agreement. If either party acquires any interests in lands included in the area of mutual interest created by the Agreement, the acquiring party is required to notify the non-acquiring party which will have the opportunity to participate in the acquisition by paying its proportionate share of the price for such properties.

     Under the terms of the Agreement, we agreed to share with Dune Energy our 3-D seismic data covering an area of approximately 23.138 square miles within the area of mutual interest. The Agreement provides that either party can propose drilling prospects with the non-proposing party given the right to participate in the drilling prospect and pay its proportionate share of all drilling and completion costs. The Agreement will remain in effect so long as our development agreement with ExxonMobil remains in effect. Our agreement with ExxonMobil currently will expire on November 2009. The Agreement excludes certain specified existing wells which we own, certain of our litigation rights, and our production facility and equipment and personal property. Our interest in the area of mutual interest created by the Agreement is subject to the terms of other agreements to which we are a party.

20

     During the years ended December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2006, we converted an aggregate of approximately $2.1 million of accounts payable and other current obligations into notes payable. At September 30, 2007, $107,000 principal amount of such notes were outstanding of which $75,000 is past due and $32,000 is due on various dates through December 2007.

Future Capital Requirements and Resources

     Since 2001, we have funded our capital expenditures and operating activities through a series of debt and equity capital-raising transactions, drilling participations and, during the last two quarters of 2004 and all of 2005 and 2006, through an increase in vendor payables and notes payable. At September 30, 2007, we do not have any available borrowing capacity under existing credit facilities and our current assets are $782,000 compared with current liabilities of $18.1 million. Our current liabilities include approximately $10.8 million of secured indebtedness which were due in September 2006. As of March 17, 2008, this secured indebtedness has not been repaid or refinanced and is in default. Also included in current liabilities are accounts payable, revenues payable, notes payable, and other current obligations aggregating to approximately $7.3 million. In July 2007 and September 2007, we received $3 million and $500,000, respectively from Dune Energy related to their increased participation and election as successor operator under the joint development agreement and these funds have been used to reduce outstanding obligations; however we still have substantial needs for funds to pay our outstanding payables and debt during 2007. In addition, we have substantial need for capital to develop our oil and gas prospects and opportunities identified in our ExxonMobil AMI. We expect any capital expenditures for drilling purposes will be funded from the sale of drilling participations and equity capital. It is management’s plan to raise additional capital through the sale of interests in our drilling activities or other strategic transactions; however, we currently have no firm commitment from any potential investors and such additional capital may not be available to us in the future.

     We have no commitments for additional capital to fund drilling activities during 2007. Any capital expenditures will be funded from monies raised through industry participations, or, if available, borrowings or equity capital. We currently have no borrowing capacity with any lender and no firm commitment from any potential investors and such additional capital may not be available to us in the future.

     In order for us to pursue our business strategy we must obtain additional financing and our failure to do so can be expected to adversely affect our ability to further the development of our ExxonMobil AMI, grow our revenues, oil and gas reserves and achieve and maintain a significant level of revenues and profitability. There can be no assurance we will obtain this additional funding. Such funding may be obtained through the sale of drilling participations, joint ventures, equity securities or by incurring additional indebtedness or other strategic transaction. Without such funding or other transaction, our revenues will continue to be limited, and it can be expected that our operations will not be profitable and our ability to meet our current obligations will be doubtful. In addition, any additional equity funding that we obtain may result in material dilution to the current holders of our common stock.

     New Accounting Standards

     In February 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments — an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140 (“SFAS No. 155”). SFAS No. 155 permits fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation and clarifies several other related issues. The provisions of SFAS No. 155 are effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued in the first fiscal year beginning after September 15, 2006. The implementation of SFAS No. 155 did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

     In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation (FIN) No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109. FIN 48 provides guidance for recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions, as defined in SFAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 prescribes a threshold condition that a tax position must meet for any of the benefit of the uncertain tax position to be recognized in the financial statements. Guidance is also provided regarding de-recognition, classification and disclosure of these uncertain tax positions. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The implementation of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

     In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities(“ SFAS No. 159”) . SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. SFAS 159 expands the use of fair value measurement and applies to entities that elect the fair value option. The fair value option established by SFAS 159 permits all entities to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at specified election dates. SFAS 159 is effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. We are currently assessing the impact, if any, the adoption of SFAS 159 will have on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Cautionary Statement for Purposes of the “Safe Harbor” Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995

     With the exception of historical matters, the matters we discussed below and elsewhere in this Report are “forward-looking statements” as defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended that involve risks and uncertainties. The forward-looking statements appear in various places including under the headings Item 1. Financial Information and Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation. These risks and uncertainties relate to

• our ability to repay or extend the maturity of our Debentures which were due in September 2006 and as of March 17, 2008 are in default,

22

• our ability to raise capital and fund our oil and gas well drilling and development plans,

• our ability to fund the repayment of our current liabilities,

• our ability to negotiate and enter into any agreement relating to a merger or sale of all or substantially all our assets or enter into a restructuring or refinancing transaction relating to our outstanding debentures and the terms of such a transaction and the price we are able to realize in such a transaction, and

• the likelihood that the Trustee under our outstanding Debentures or the requisite holders of principal amount of Debentures will demand immediate payment of the Debentures and seek to foreclose on our assets as a consequence of our existing default in the payment of interest and redemption of the Debentures which were due on September 30, 2006 and remain in default as of March 17, 2008.

These risks and uncertainties also relate to our ability to attain and maintain profitability and cash flow and continue as a going concern, our ability to increase our reserves of oil and gas through successful drilling activities and acquisitions, our ability to enhance and maintain production from existing wells and successfully develop additional producing wells, our access to debt and equity capital and the availability of joint venture development arrangements, our ability to remain in compliance with the terms of any agreements pursuant to which we borrow money and to repay the principal and interest when due, our estimates as to our needs for additional capital and the times at which additional capital will be required, our expectations as to our sources for this capital and funds, our ability to successfully implement our business strategy, our ability to maintain compliance with covenants of our loan documents and other agreements pursuant to which we issue securities or borrow funds and to obtain waivers and amendments when and as required, our ability to borrow funds or maintain levels of borrowing availability under our borrowing arrangements, our ability to meet our intended capital expenditures, our statements and estimates about quantities of production of oil and gas as it implies continuing production rates at those levels, proved reserves or borrowing availability based on proved reserves and our future net cash flows and their present value.

     Readers are cautioned that the risk factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2006 and other reports filed with the Commission, as well as those described elsewhere in this Report, in some cases have affected, and in the future could affect, our business plans and actual results of operations and could cause our actual consolidated results during 2007 and beyond, to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by or on our behalf.

     Our common shares have no trading market in the United States, and there can be no assurance as to the liquidity of any markets that may develop for our common shares, the ability of the holders of common shares to sell their common shares in the United States or the price at which holders would be able to sell their common shares. Any future trading prices of the common shares will depend on many factors, including, among others, our operating results and the market for similar securities.

ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls

     Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including Michael K. Paulk, our President and Chief Executive Officer, and Steven P. Ensz, our Vice President, Finance and Chief Financial Officer, we undertook an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure (a) that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms and (b) that information required to be disclosed is accumulated and communicated to management to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.

Changes in Internal Controls

     No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act) occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2007 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.

     We failed to meet the interest payments due quarterly since June 30, 2006 on our outstanding 8% Convertible Secured Debentures due September 30, 2006. In addition, we failed to repay or redeem the Debentures by the due date of September 30, 2006. Accordingly, pursuant to the Indenture governing the Debentures, an Event of Default pursuant to section 7.1(b) of the Trust Indenture has occurred and is continuing at the time. Under those circumstances, the Trustee may, and upon request in writing from the holders of not less than 25% of the principal amount of the Debentures then outstanding, shall declare the outstanding principal of and all interest on the Debentures and other moneys outstanding under the Indenture to be immediately due and payable. In addition, the Trustee will have the right to enforce its rights on behalf of the Debenture holders against the collateral for the Debentures. The Debentures are collateralized by substantially all of our assets. At September 30, 2007, the Debentures are outstanding in the principal amount of $10,825,000 and accrued and unpaid interest at that date amounts to $1,299,000. Subsequent to March 17, 2008, neither the Trustee nor the requisite holders of principal amount of Debentures have declared the Debentures to be immediately due and payable.
