DEEP WELL OIL & GAS, INC. (AND SUBSIDIARIES)
(Exploration Stage Company)
(naudited)
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2006
 

 
1. Nature of Business and Going Concern

Nature of Business

Deep Well Oil & Gas, Inc. (“Deep Well”) and its former subsidiaries were engaged in the manufacture and distribution of standard and custom precision mechanical assemblies and components throughout the United States.

On February 19, 2003, Deep Well filed a petition for bankruptcy in the United States Bankruptcy Court under Chapter 11 in the Eastern District of New York titled "Allied Devices Corporation, Case No. 03-80962-511." The Company emerged from bankruptcy pursuant to a Bankruptcy Court Order entered on September 10, 2003, with no remaining assets or liabilities.

The terms of the bankruptcy settlement included: (1) a reverse common stock split of 30 shares of outstanding stock for 1 share; (2) increasing the authorized common capital stock from 25,000,000 to 50,000,000 shares with a par value of $0.001; (3) a change in the name of the Company from "Allied Devices Corporation" to "Deep Well Oil & Gas, Inc.", and (4) the authorization for the issuance of 2,000,000 post split restricted common shares and 4,000,000 post split common shares in exchange for $50,000, which was paid into the bankruptcy court by the recipients of the shares.

Restated and amended articles of incorporation completing the terms of the bankruptcy have been filed in the state of Nevada.

Upon emergence from Chapter 11 proceedings, Deep Well adopted fresh-start reporting in accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 90-7, Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy Code (SOP 90-7). In connection with the adoption of fresh-start reporting, a new entity was deemed created for financial reporting purposes. For financial reporting purposes, Deep Well adopted the provisions of fresh-start reporting effective September 10, 2003. All periods presented prior to September 10, 2003, including the financial information contained in these financial statements, reflect the predecessor company. In adopting the requirements of fresh-start reporting as of September 10, 2003, the company was required to value its assets and liabilities at fair value and eliminate any accumulated deficit as of September 10, 2003. Deep Well emerged from Chapter 11 proceedings with no assets and liabilities pursuant to the Bankruptcy Order. Because the current business, heavy oil and gas exploration, has no relevance to the predecessor company, there is no basis for financial comparisons between Deep Well's current operations and the predecessor company.

This report has been prepared showing the name "Deep Well Oil & Gas, Inc. (and Subsidiar)" (“the Company”) and the post split common stock, with $0.001 par value, from inception. The accumulated deficit has been restated to zero and dated September 10, 2003, with the statement of operations to begin on that date.

Going Concern

The accompanying audited financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which anticipates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities during the normal course of operations. However, as shown in these consolidated financial statements, the Company during the period ended June 30, 2006, incurred a net loss of $1,459,724, although as of that date the Company’s total assets exceeded its total liabilities by $3,864,593. In addition, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $3,298,027. These factors raise doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern if changes in operations are not forthcoming.
 
8


 
The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern will depend on management’s ability to successfully implement a business plan which will produce revenues, control costs, and obtain additional forms of debt and/or equity financing. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Management is of the opinion that the equity funds raised by the Company in its current Public Offering (see Note 11 below) will be sufficient to finance its operations until the end of 2008.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The interim financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate so as to make the information presented not misleading.

These interim financial statements follow the same significant accounting policies and methods of application as the Company's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2005.

These statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the information contained therein. However, the results of operations for the interim periods may not be indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-KSB for the year ended September 30, 2005.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Deep Well Oil & Gas, Inc. and it’s subsidiaries Northern Alberta Oil Ltd. and Deep Well Oil & Gas (Alberta) Ltd. All significant intercompany accounts have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Accounting Methods

The Company recognizes income and expenses based on the accrual method of accounting.

Dividend Policy

The Company has not yet adopted a policy regarding payment of dividends.

Financial and Concentrations Risk

The Company does not have any concentration or related financial credit risk except that cash is maintained in banks over the insured amounts of $100,000, however, the amounts are maintained in banks of high quality.

Equipment

Equipment is stated at cost. Amortization expense is computed using the declining balance method over the estimated useful life of the asset. The following is a summary of the estimated useful life used in computing amortization expense.

Equipment - 30%

Expenditures for major repairs and renewals that extend the useful life of the asset are capitalized. Minor repair expenditures are charged to expense as incurred.

Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews for the impairment of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized when estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition is less than its carrying amount.
 
9

 
Income Taxes

The Company utilizes the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between financial reporting and the tax bases of the assets and liabilities, and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. An allowance against deferred tax assets is recorded when it is more likely than not that such tax benefits will not be realized.

Revenue Recognition

The Company is in the business of exploring for, developing, producing and selling crude oil and natural gas. Crude oil revenue is recognized when the product is taken from the storage tanks on the lease and delivered to the purchaser. Natural gas revenues are recognized when the product is delivered into a third party pipeline downstream of the lease. Occasionally the Company may sell specific leases and the gain or loss associated with these transactions will be shown separately from the profit or loss from the operations or sales of oil and gas products.

Advertising and Market Development

The Company expenses advertising and market development costs as incurred.

Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share

Basic net income (loss) per share amounts are computed based on the weighted average number of shares actually outstanding. Diluted net income (loss) per share amounts are computed using the weighted average number of common shares and common equivalent shares outstanding as if shares had been issued on the exercise of the common share rights, unless the exercise becomes antidilutive and then only the basic per share amounts are shown in the report.

Financial Instruments

Fair Values

The fair values of the Company's accounts receivables, loan receivable - related parties, accounts payable, accounts payable - related parties, note and accrued interest payable, convertible debenture and accrued interest, and loan payable, approximate their carrying values due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments.

Interest Rate Price Risk

The interest rate price risk is due to fixed interest rates on the convertible debenture and loan payable.

Foreign Currency Translation

The functional currency of the Canadian subsidiaries is the United States dollar, however the Canadian subsidiaries transact in Canadian dollars. Consequently, monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured into United States dollars a the exchange rate on the balance sheet date and non-monetary items are remeasured at the rate of exchange in effect when the assets are acquired or obligations incurred. Revenues and expenses are remeasured at the average exchange rate prevailing during the period. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in results of operations.

Environmental Requirements

At the report date environmental requirements related to the mineral claims acquired are unknown and therefore an estimate of any future cost cannot be made.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company does not expect that the adoption of other recent accounting pronouncements will have a material impact on its financial statements.
 
10

 
Estimates and Assumptions

Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of the assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses. Actual results could vary from the estimates that were assumed in preparing these financial statements.

3. Oil and Gas Properties

The Company has acquired an 80% interest in certain oil and gas properties which, after a farmout agreement entered into on February 25, 2005, the Company's interestwas reduced to 40% on 12 sections as described below in the November 26, 2007 settlement. These certain properties are located in North Central Alberta, Canada with a life of 15 years for $5,315,252. The terms include certain commitments related to oil sand leases which require the payments of rents as long as the leases are non-producing. As of now, the payments due in Canadian dollars under this commitment are as follows:

The Government of Alberta owns this land and the Company has acquired the rights to perform oil and gas activities on these lands. These leases are for 15 years and if the Company meets the conditions of the 15-year leases the Company will then be permitted to drill on and produce oil from the land into perpetuity. These conditions give the Company until the expiration of the leases to meet the following requirements:

a)  
drill 1 well within each of the 63 sections; or

b)  
drill 38 wells within the 63 sections with the balance of the undrilled sections having acquired 3.2 km of seismic on each undrilled section.

The Company plans to meet at least the second of these conditions.

The Company follows the successful efforts method of accounting for costs of oil and gas properties. Under this method, acquisition costs of oil and gas properties and costs of drilling and equipping development wells are capitalized. Costs of drilling exploratory wells are initially capitalized and, if subsequently determined to be unsuccessful, are charged to expenses. All other exploration costs, including geological and geophysical costs and carrying and maintenance costs, are charged to exploration expenses when incurred. Producing properties, non-producing and unproven properties are assessed annually, or more frequently as economic events indicate, for potential impairment.

This consists of comparing the carrying value of the asset with the asset's expected future undiscounted cash flows without interest costs. Estimates of expected future cash flows represent management's best estimate based on reasonable and supportable assumptions. Proven oil and gas properties are reviewed for impairment on a field-by-field basis. In addition, management evaluates the carrying value of non-producing properties and may deem them impaired for lack of drilling activities. No impairment losses were recognized for the nine months ended June 30, 2006 (2005 - $nil).

Capitalized costs of proven oil and gas properties are depleted using the unit-of-production method when the property is placed in production.

Substantially all of the Company's oil and gas activities are conducted jointly with others. The accounts reflect only the Company's proportionate interest in such activities.

On November 15, 2005, the Company’s subsidiary received an additional 6.5 sections which consist of a five year oil sand permit rights and Petroleum & Natural Gas licenses (P&NG) which were part of the subsidiaries original purchase agreement.

On November 15, 2005, the Company and its subsidiary entered into an agreement to amend a farmout agreement with Signet Energy Inc. (“Signet”), a private company owned by Surge Global Energy, Inc. (“Surge”). Under this new amended farmout agreement, Signet Energy Inc., as operator, assumed the farmout obligations, including completing, at its expense, the drilling of 10 wells to earn up to a 40% working interest in the Sawn Lake Oil Sands Project.
 
11

 
On November 15, 2005, as part of the settlement of a legal action, the Company, and its subsidiary, and Surge, agreed to amend a farmout agreement signed on February 25, 2005, between the Company, and Surge that had previously been terminated by the Company (disclosed on Form 8-K on September 29, 2005). The amendments to the agreement provided that: (1) all conditions of the farmout agreement will be deemed to have been satisfied on September 25, 2005; (2) the earning period (i.e. the period during which Signet has to drill 10 wells) under the agreement will be extended until February 25, 2008; (3) Signet will have until September 25, 2006 to drill an option well; (4) an additional 6.5 sections of land will be added to the land subject to the agreement; (5) Signet will pay the Company $1,000,000 on November 15, 2005, in satisfaction of the prospect fee outstanding instead of after drilling the second well as stated in the farmout agreement; and (6) no shares of Surge will be issued to the Company. Instead, the Company or its subsidiaries will receive 7,550,000 common shares of Signet Energy Inc.

The Company currently owns an 80% working interest in 51 contiguous sections of oil sands development leases and 6.5 sections of oil sands permits in the Sawn lake heavy oil area in North Central Alberta. The Company has an additional 40% working interest in another 12 sections of oil sands development leases of which Signet has earned 40% from the Company.

On November 26, 2007, the Company entered into a settlement with Signet and Andora Energy Corporation and resolved their differences and certain collateral matters. The settlement includes but is not limited to:

a)  
The Farmout Agreement dated February 25, 2005, being effectively terminated concurrently with the execution of the settlement in regards to the Settlement Agreement;

b)  
Signet being regarded as having earned an 40% working interest in a total of twelve sections;

c)  
Signet will reconvey registered title to 57.5 unearned sections of the Farmout Lands, as defined in the Farmout Agreement, back to the Company.

A $1,000,000 unsecured convertible debenture was issued during the fiscal 2004 year. The convertible debenture bears interest at 8.5% per annum and is due on September 6, 2007. The debenture is convertible at the option of the debenture holder into fully paid, conversion shares which consist of one common share and one common stock purchase warrant.

Each warrant is convertible to one common share. The common shares have a par value of $0.001 and the warrants are convertible as follows:

- October 6, 2004 to September 6, 2005 at $1.00 per warrant
- September 7, 2005 to September 6, 2006 at $1.50 per warrant
- September 7, 2006 to September 6, 2007 at $2.00 per warrant

If at any time during the term of the debenture the average bid and ask price of the Company's common shares is three dollars ($3.00) per share or more for thirty (30) consecutive calendar days, the Company will have the option to convert the outstanding debenture into common stock at the price set forth above.

No value has been recognized on the conversion rights because the market rate of Deep Well shares was less then the conversion rate. The convertible debenture was fully paid in October 2005.

7. Significant Transactions With Related Parties

Accounts payable - related parties of $322,664 (2005 - $224,247) results from directors’ fees and expenses paid for by the Company. Account payable - related parties are unsecured, non-interest bearing and have no fixed terms of repayment.

Officers, directors, their families, and their controlled entities have acquired 6.7% of the Company's outstanding common capital stock.

8. Loan Payable

Loan payable consists of an amount due to a former director of the Company and a company controlled by the former director. This amount is currently in dispute and is not expected to be repaid. The amount is unsecured, bears no interest and has no fixed terms of repayment.

9. Share Capital

On March 10, 2005, the Company closed on a transaction pursuant to a certain Securities Purchase Agreement (“SPA”), with two accredited investors for an aggregate purchase price of $750,000 pursuant to which the Company sold an aggregate of: (1) 1,875,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, at a purchase price of $0.40 per share; and (2) 750,000 warrants, of which each of the warrants is exercisable from March 10, 2005 until March 9, 2010, at an exercise price equal to $0.50 per share. The Company issued the aforementioned securities to the investors pursuant to Rule 506 of Regulation D as promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and/or Section 4(2) of the Act. In connection with the SPA, a finder’s fee of $75,000 was paid and 37,500 warrants were issued. The exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events, as provided in the warrants, and as a result of the issuance of common stock on May 25, 2007 and pursuant to the SPA and Form of Warrant dated March 10, 2005, entered into by and among the Company and the investors (the “Warrant Holders”), the Company issued an adjustment to the Warrant Holders. The original warrant dated March 10, 2005, contained a price adjustment if the Company sells, issues or grants additional shares of its common stock at a price per share less than the exercise price. In the event of a price adjustment, the number of shares exercisable under the warrant would also increase. Therefore, the exercise price of the original warrant has been adjusted from $0.50 to $0.40 per common share. The Company has granted the Warrant Holders new warrants to purchase an additional 196,875 common shares for a total of 984,375 shares of the Company’s common stock at an adjusted exercise price of $0.40 per share under the same terms as the original warrant. The Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (“RRA”) with the investors dated as of March 10, 2005, pursuant to which the Company was obligated to prepare and file a registration statement no later than 45 days after the closing date registering the number of shares of the Company’s common stock which is at least equal to: (1) the aggregate number of shares of common stock issued under the SPA; and (2) 125% of the aggregate number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants. The Company must use its reasonable best efforts to cause the registration statement to become effective as soon as practicable following the filing, but in no event later than 120 days after the closing date. If the registration statement is not filed within 45 days after the closing date or declared effective within the time specified in the preceding paragraph, the Company was required to make payments to the investors equal to 2% of the purchase price and an additional 2% of the purchase price for each subsequent 30-day period as to which the registration statement was not filed or declared effective. Effective on January 22. 2007, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement and Release of All Claims (the “Settlement Agreement”) with the investors who were in receipt of the above issued shares with respect to allegations made by the investors that the Company had breached the SPA and RRA.

The Settlement Agreement provides, without any party acknowledging any liability, for:

- the amendment of the SPA to delete certain restrictions on the Company's ability to enter into any future financing;
- the termination of the RRA;

12. Stock Options

On November 28, 2005, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Deep Well adopted the Deep Well Oil & Gas, Inc. Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan, which will be administered by the Board, permits options to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Shares”) to be granted to directors, senior officers and employees of the Company and its subsidiaries, as well as certain consultants and other persons providing services to the Company or its subsidiaries.

The maximum number of shares which may be reserved for issuance under the Plan may not exceed 10% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Shares, subject to adjustment as contemplated by the Plan. The aggregate number of Common Shares with respect to which options may be granted to any one person (together with their associates) in any one year, together with will all other incentive plans of the Company, may not exceed 500,000 Common Shares and in total may not exceed 2% of the total number of Common Shares outstanding.

On November 28, 2005, the Company granted its directors Donald E. H. Jones and Cyrus Spaulding options to purchase 375,000 shares each of common stock at an exercise price of $0.71 per share, 75,000 vesting immediately and the remaining vesting one-third on June 29, 2006, one-third on June 29, 2007 and one-third on June 29, 2008, with a five-year life.

On November 28, 2005, the Company granted its directors Horst A. Schmid and Curtis Sparrow options to purchase 375,000 shares each of common stock at an exercise price of $0.71 per share 175,000 vesting immediately and the remaining vesting one-half on February 6, 2006, and one-half on February 6, 2007, with a five-year life.

On November 28, 2005, the Company granted a director of a subsidiary of the Company, Moses Ling, options to purchase 187,500 shares each of common stock at an exercise price of $0.71 per share 37,500 vesting immediately and the remaining vesting one-third on June 6, 2006, one-third on June 6, 2007 and one-third on June 6, 2008, with a five-year life.

On November 28, 2005, the Company granted Trebax Projects Ltd., a corporation providing consulting services to the Company or its subsidiary and wholly owned by a director, options to purchase 390,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.71 per share, vesting one-third on September 1, 2006, one-third on September 1, 2007 and one-third on September 1, 2008, with a five-year life.

On November 28, 2005, the Company granted Portwest Investments Ltd., a corporation providing consulting services to the Company or its subsidiary and wholly owned by a director, options to purchase 390,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.71 per share, vesting one-third on July 1, 2006, one-third on July 1, 2007 and one-third on July 1, 2008, with a five-year life.

There were no stock options granted in 2005 and therefore no share based compensation expenses were recorded in 2005. For the period ended June 30, 2006, the Company recorded $495,076 of compensation expense based on its use of the Black Scholes model to estimate the grant-date fair value of these unit option awards. No options were exercised during the period ended June 30, 2006, therefore, the intrinsic value of the options exercised during the period, October 1, 2005 to June 30, 2006 is nil. As of June 30, 2006, there was a total of $281,760 of unrecognized compensation cost related to the non-vested portion of these unit option awards. At June 30, 2006, this cost was expected to recognize over a weighted-average period of 4.41 years. Compensation expense is based upon straight-line amortization of the grant-date fair value over the vesting period of the underlying unit option. Since the Company is a relatively new public company and has minimal trading history, it has used an estimated volatility of approximately 162% for the period June 30, 2006, based on the trading history available.

15. Legal Actions

I.G.M. Resources Corp vs. Deep Well Oil & Gas, Inc., et al

On March 10, 2005, I.G.M. Resources Corp. ("the Plaintiff") filed against Classic Energy Inc., 979708 Alberta Ltd., Deep Well Oil & Gas, Inc., Nearshore Petroleum Corporation, Mr. Steven P. Gawne, Rebekah Gawne, Gawne Family Trust, 1089144 Alberta Ltd., John F. Brown, Diane Lynn McClaflin, Cassandra Doreen Brown, Elissa Alexandra Brown, Brown Family Trust, Priority Exploration Ltd., Northern Alberta Oil Ltd. and Gordon Skulmoski (the “Defendant”) a Statement of Claim in the Court of Queen's Bench of Alberta Judicial District of Calgary. This suit is a part of a series of lawsuits or actions undertaken by the Plaintiff against some of the other above defendants.

The Plaintiff was and still is a minority shareholder of 979708 Alberta Ltd. ("979708"). 979708 was in the business of discovering, assembling and acquiring oil and gas prospects. In 2002 and 2003, 979708 acquired oil and gas prospects in the Sawn Lake area of Alberta. On or about the 14th of July, 2003, all or substantially all the assets of 979708 were sold to Classic Energy Inc. The Plaintiff claims the value of the assets sold was far in excess of the value paid for those assets. On April 23, 2004, Northern Alberta Oil Ltd. purchased Classic Energy Inc.'s assets, some of which are under dispute by the Plaintiff. On June 7, 2005, Deep Well acquired all of the common shares of Northern thereby giving Deep Well an indirect beneficial interest in the assets the Plaintiff is claiming an interest in.

The Plaintiff seeks an order setting aside the transaction and returning the assets to 979708, compensation in the amount of $15,000,000 Cdn, a declaration of trust declaring that Northern and Deep Well hold all of the assets acquired from 979708 and any property acquired by use of such assets, or confidential information of 979708, in trust for the Plaintiff.
 
18

 
This lawsuit has been stayed pending the out come of the other litigation by the Plaintiff against some of the above defendants other than Deep Well and Northern. The Company believes the claims are without merit and will vigorously defend against them.

Hardie & Kelly vs. Brown et al

On June 2, 2006, Hardie and Kelly (the “Plaintiff”), Trustee of the Estate of John Forbes Brown, filed against John Forbes Brown, a bankrupt, Diane Lynn McClaflin, 1089144 Alberta Ltd., and Deep Well (the “Defendants”) an Amended Statement of Claim in the Court of Queen's Bench of Alberta Judicial District of Calgary. John Forbes Brown was a former officer and then sub-contractor of Deep Well before and during the time he was assigned into bankruptcy on July 12, 2004. The Plaintiff claims, in addition to other issues unrelated to Deep Well, that John Forbes Brown received 4,812,500 Deep Well shares as a result of his employment in Deep Well and that John Forbes Brown improperly assigned these shares to the numbered company as a ruse entered into on the eve of insolvency by John Forbes Brown in order to facilitate the hiding of assets from his creditors and the trustee of his bankruptcy. The Plaintiff further claims that on August 23, 2004, John Forbes Brown advised the Plaintiff that he in fact owned the above shares and did not disclose this ownership in his filed bankruptcy statement of affairs. The Plaintiff further claims that John Forbes Brown would lodge the said shares with his lawyer until such time as these shares could be transferred to the Plaintiff. The Plaintiff further claims that unbeknownst to them John Forbes Brown surreptitiously removed the shares from his lawyer's office and delivered them to Deep Well so that Deep Well could cancel them. The Plaintiff claims that Deep Well conspired with John Forbes Brown to defraud the creditors of John Forbes Brown by taking receipt and cancelling the said shares. The Plaintiff claims that consideration paid by Deep Well for the said shares was invested in the home owned by John Forbes Brown and his wife. The Plaintiff seeks: (1) an accounting of the proceeds and benefits derived by the dealings of the shares; (2) the home owned by John Forbes Brown and his wife, to be held in trust on behalf of the Plaintiff and an accounting of proceeds related to this trust; (3) damages from the Defendants because of their actions; (4) a judgement for $15,612,645 Cdn; (5) an order to sell John Forbes Brown's home; and (6) interest and costs.

Deep Well believes it did not conspire with John Forbes Brown to defraud John Forbes Brown's creditors and further Deep Well did not receive nor give John Forbes Brown any consideration in regards to the cancelling of said shares. Deep Well plans to vigorously defend itself against the Plaintiff's claims.

Menno Wiebe and Jacobean Resource International vs. Deep Well Oil & Gas, Inc., et al

On October 23, 2006, Menno Wiebe and Jacobean Resources International (the “Plaintiff”) served Deep Well (the “Defendant”), Doe individuals and Roe Corporations with a Complaint and Summons filed in the United States of America, District Court of Clark County, Nevada. The Complaint alleges a breach of contract in which the Plaintiffs are seeking monetary damages in excess of $10,000 plus an order directing Defendants to issue 56,500 shares of Deep Well stock to Plaintiffs. Deep Well believes that it has meritorious defenses to the Plaintiff's claims and intends to enter into mediation, as called for in the contract with Menno Wiebe.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS

You should read the following discussion and analysis in conjunction with our Company’s financial statements and related notes. For the purpose of this discussion, unless the context indicates another meaning, the terms the “Company”, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to Deep Well Oil & Gas, Inc. and its subsidiaries. This discussion includes forward-looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance and that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors including risks discussed in "Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations - Forward-Looking Statements" below and elsewhere in this report, and under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended September 30, 2005.

Our financial statements and information are reported in U.S. dollars and are prepared based upon US American generally accepted accounting principles.

General Overview

We are an emerging independent junior oil and gas exploration and development company headquartered in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Our Company’s immediate corporate focus is to develop the existing land base that it presently controls in the Peace River Oil Sands area in North Central Alberta. Our principal office is located at 510 Royal Bank Building, 10117 Jasper Avenue, Edmonton, Alberta T5J 1W8, our telephone number is (780) 409-8144 and our fax number is (780) 409-8146. Our Company also has an exploration office in Calgary, Alberta. Deep Well Oil & Gas, Inc. is a Nevada corporation and trades on the pink sheets under the symbol DWOG. We maintain a website at www.deepwelloil.com.

Operations

On February 25, 2005, we entered into a Farmout Agreement with Signet Energy Inc. (“Signet” now known as 1350826 Alberta Ltd., a subsidiary company of Andora Energy Corporation) covering 69.5 sections within the Sawn Lake project. This agreement allowed Signet to earn up to 40% working interest in the farmout lands (50% of our Company’s share). Among other things the agreement called for Signet to drill 10 wells, pay our Company a $2,000,000 prospect fee and grant us 33.33% of the outstanding shares of Surge on the day the agreement was signed. On November 15, 2005, our Company and Signet amended the Farmout Agreement and further agreed to acknowledge the original Farmout Agreement. In accordance with the Farmout Agreement, Signet was to drill 10 wells, based on a rolling option to drill, prior to February 25, 2008, at no cost to our Company, to fully earn its 40% working interest in the project. In addition, our Company owned 7,550,000 common shares of Signet. Under the Farmout Agreement, notice to our Company of Signet’s intent to drill the next option well was due by December 16, 2006, and accordingly, since such notice was not provided, Signet’s right to earn additional interest in the Sawn Lake acreage from our Company had expired. In December 2006, our Company notified Signet that it was disputing Signet earning an additional 12 sections as a result of drilling the second and third wells due to Signet’s failure to properly complete the wells by not conducting the production testing as reasonably required under the Farmout Agreement. The Farmout Agreement stated that the sustained production test must be of sufficient duration to establish to the Farmor’s (therefore Deep Well’s) reasonable satisfaction the initial productivity of the earning well. Signet’s view was that it had earned the 12 sections pursuant to the terms of the Farmout Agreement. These 12 sections were subject to selection in accordance with the provisions of the Farmout Agreement. On November 26, 2007, our Company entered into mediation with Signet and resolved their differences on this and certain collateral matters. The settlement included, but is not limited to:

·
the Farmout Agreement dated February 25, 2005, being effectively terminated concurrently with the execution of the settlement agreement; and
·
Signet being regarded as having earned the two sections on which the option wells were drilled and 4 additional sections as set out in the settlement; and
·
Signet being required to reconvey registered title to 57.5 unearned sections of the Farmout Lands, as defined in the Farmout Agreement, back to our Company; and
·
our Company having the right to retest, at no cost to Signet, the option wells previously drilled.

On April 2, 2008, our Company successfully bid on 1 Petroleum and Natural Gas Rights parcel for a total of 6 sections in the Ochre area covering 3,795 gross acres (1,536 gross hectares) with a working interest of 100%, increasing our land holdings in the Peace River area by 8%. Our Company currently owns an 80% working interest in 51 contiguous sections of oil sands development leases, a 40% working interest in an additional 12 sections of oil sands development leases, an 80% working interest in 6.5 sections of oil sands permits and a 100% working interest in the recently acquired 6 sections of a Petroleum and Natural Gas License in the Sawn Lake heavy oil area in North Central Alberta, bringing our total land holdings to 75.5 sections covering 47,759 gross acres or 19,328 gross hectares.

Plan of Operations over the next 12 Months

Our Company’s current and near term development plan is to use the funds recently acquired to execute our Company’s plan of development for the Sawn Lake Project. The first stage of the plan will include updated well evaluation testing and project re-analysis and engineering study. To accomplish this, our Company recently purchased and interpreted seismic data for certain sections of the Sawn Lake project. This recent seismic acquisition and reprocessing is in addition to and focuses on different areas than the seismic previously acquired and reprocessed by Signet, the results of which, and in addition to the aeromagnetic data, is now available to our Company by virtue of the November 26, 2007 settlement with Signet. Based on this newly acquired data log analyses and information obtained from external public resources, our Company’s exploration team selected 6 locations to be drilled over the next 12 months. Our Company has completed surveying of these 6 locations along with their respective environmental field reports. On September 10, 2008, the Energy Resources Conservation Board granted us 6 well licences and our Company has secured a drilling contract with Precision Drilling. We plan to drill the first well on or about November 1, 2008, weathering permitting. Our Company expects to drill and production test 6 wells and possibly an optional 7th well over the next 12 months. To assist in defining the Sawn Lake project these 6 locations have been selected to evaluate more of the reservoir than previously drilled under the Farmout Agreement. As operator for these leases, our Company will also test to its satisfaction the wells for cold flow capability. Currently our Company, as operator, is re-testing the first well drilled in September 2005 under our former Farmout Agreement. The focus of our Company’s drilling program is to further define the heavy oil reservoir to establish reserves and to determine the best technology under which oil can be produced from the Sawn Lake project in order to initiate production to generate an early positive cash flow.

Reorganization and Raising Capital

On February 19, 2003, our Company filed a Petition for Relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court in and for the Eastern District of New York titled In re: Allied Devices Corporation, et al., Chapter 11, Case No. 03-80962-511 “the Bankruptcy Action”. On September 10, 2003, after notice to all creditors and a formal hearing, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Melanie L. Cyganowski issued an “Order Confirming Liquidating Plan of Reorganization” in the Bankruptcy Action. In conjunction with that Bankruptcy Order, our Company’s liabilities, among other things, were paid off and extinguished.

During the fiscal years 2005, 2006 and 2007, we financed our business operations through a loan, private offerings of our common stock and the exercise of certain warrants realizing gross proceeds of $9,570,800. In these offerings we sold units comprised of common stock and warrants to purchase additional common stock and as a result we had an aggregate of 15,752,841 outstanding warrants from these offerings with exercise prices ranging from $0.40 to $2.25, as at September 30, 2007. If all of the warrants sold in the offerings are exercised per their terms, we may realize aggregate proceeds of approximately $12,595,559. However, the warrant holders have complete discretion as to when or if the warrants are exercised before they expire and we cannot guarantee that the warrant holders will exercise any of the warrants.

On August 14, 2008 our Company successfully raised $5,000,000 through a private placement offering for 10,638,297 common shares of our Company to one investor and we raised an additional $5,000,000 for another 12,500,000 additional common shares of our Company, which closed on October 31, 2008 with the same investor. With this private placement our Company has the funds anticipated to complete its near term business plan. For our long term operations we anticipate that, among other options, we will raise funds during the next twenty-four months through private placements of our common stock under exemptions from the registration requirements provided by Canadian, United States and state and provincial securities laws. The purchasers and manner of issuance will be determined according to our financial needs and the available exemptions. We also note that if we issue more shares of our common stock, our stockholders may experience dilution in the percentage of their ownership of common stock. We may not be able to raise sufficient funding from stock sales for long term operations and if so, we may be forced to delay our business plans until adequate funding is obtained. We believe debt financing will not be an alternative for funding in the exploration stage of our Company due to the risky nature of business. The lack of tangible assets places debt financing for our Company beyond the credit-worthiness required by most lenders.

Significant Changes in Number of Employees

Our Company currently has two full time employees, three part time office staff and five prime subcontractors. For further information on subcontractors see “Compensation Arrangements for Executive Officers” under item 10 “Executive Compensation” described in this report. We expect to hire from time to time more employees, independent consultants and contractors during the stages of implementing our plans.

Mr. Cyrus James Spaulding was an independent contractor under his consulting company, Trebax Projects Ltd. (“Trebax”). He resigned from his position as Chief Operating Officer of our Company, effective September 21, 2007. As of the effective date Trebax’s existing consulting agreement has been terminated.

Effective September 20, 2007, our Company entered into a Consulting Agreement with R.N. Dell Energy Ltd. whose primary consultant is Mr. Edward A. Howard, to assist our Company in the further exploitation and development of Deep Well’s Sawn Lake project. Mr. Howard is a Geologist and Palynologist with over 40 years of heavy oil experience. Most recently Mr. Howard was Vice President of Exploration and Development for Signet (recently acquired by Andora). Signet was the Farmee which had the right to earn acreage from Deep Well. Signet’s rights under the Farmout Agreement to drill to earn more acreage, has since expired and as of November 26, 2007, the Farmout Agreement has been terminated. At Signet Mr. Howard was responsible for the planning and execution of the Sawn Lake drilling program. Mr. Howard has also worked with several companies in the heavy oil sector including Sceptre Resources (since taken over by CNRL) at their Tangleflags field and Shell Canada at their Peace River Project. Mr. Howard was credited with the discovery and early development of the first successful Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (“SAGD”) heavy oil extraction project for Sceptre at the Tangleflags field. While at Shell from 1967 to 1977 Mr. Howard was instrumental in developing Shell’s Peace River strategy from the early inception through to the pilot plant stage. This project continues to be one of the most successful in situ oil sands producers. Also, Mr. Howard has implemented noteworthy Cyclical Stream Simulation (“CSS”) projects in Alberta. Some of these projects have proven to increase recovery rates between/from 50% - 60%. Mr. Howard’s extensive experience with the primary and secondary recovery of heavy oil as well as his direct knowledge of the Peace River oil sands area, specifically the Sawn Lake project, will be of great benefit to Deep Well.

Effective October 15, 2007, our Company entered into a Consulting Agreement with Picoplat Consulting Inc. whose primary consultant is Mr. Ferdinand Brathwaite, to assist our Company in the exploitation and development of Deep Well’s Sawn Lake project.

I.G.M. Resources Corp. vs. Deep Well Oil & Gas, Inc. et al

hereinafter referred to as “979708”), Deep Well Oil & Gas, Inc., Nearshore, Steven P. Gawne, Rebekah Gawne, Gawne Family Trust, 1089144 Alberta Ltd., John F. Brown, Diane Lynn McClaflin, Cassandra Doreen Brown, Elissa Alexandra Brown, Brown Family Trust, Priority Exploration Ltd., Northern Alberta Oil Ltd. and Gordon Skulmoski (the “Defendants”) a Statement of Claim in the Court of Queen’s Bench of Alberta Judicial District of Calgary. This suit is part of a series of lawsuits or actions undertaken by the Plaintiff against some of the other above-named Defendants.

The Plaintiff was and still is a minority shareholder of 979708. 979708 was purportedly in the business of discovering, assembling and acquiring oil & gas prospects. In 2002 and 2003, 979708 acquired oil and gas prospects in the Sawn Lake area of Alberta. On or about the 14th of July 2003, all or substantially all the assets of 979708 were sold to Classic. The Plaintiff claims the value of the assets sold was far in excess of the value paid for those assets. On April 23, 2004, Northern purchased some of Classic’s assets, that are under dispute by the Plaintiff. On June 7, 2005, Deep Well acquired all of the common shares of Northern thereby giving Deep Well an indirect beneficial interest in the assets the Plaintiff is claiming an interest in.

The Plaintiff seeks an order setting aside the transaction and returning the assets to 979708, compensation in the amount of $15,000,000 Cdn, and a declaration of trust declaring that Northern and Deep Well hold all of the assets acquired from 979708 and any property acquired by use of such assets or confidential information of 979708, in trust for the Plaintiff.

This lawsuit has been stayed pending the outcome of the other litigation by the Plaintiff against the other defendants. We believe the claims and demands against us are without merit and will vigorously defend against them.

Hardie & Kelly vs. Brown et al

On June 2, 2006, Hardie and Kelly (the “Plaintiff”), Trustee of the Estate of John Forbes Brown, filed against John Forbes Brown, a bankrupt, Diane Lynn McClaflin, 1089144 Alberta Ltd., and Deep Well (the “Defendants”) an Amended Statement of Claim filed in the Court of Queen’s Bench of Alberta Judicial District of Calgary. John Forbes Brown was a former officer and then sub-contractor of Deep Well before and at the time he was assigned into bankruptcy on into July 12, 2004. The Plaintiff claims, in addition to other issues unrelated to Deep Well, that John Forbes Brown received 4,812,500 Deep Well shares as a result of his employment in Deep Well and that John Forbes Brown improperly assigned these shares to the numbered company as a ruse entered into on the eve of insolvency by John Forbes Brown in order to facilitate the hiding of assets from his creditors and the trustee of his bankruptcy. The Plaintiff further claims that on August 23, 2004, John Forbes Brown advised the Plaintiff that he in fact owned the above shares and did not disclose this ownership in his filed bankruptcy statement of affairs. The Plaintiff further claims that John Forbes Brown would lodge the said shares with his lawyer until such time as these shares could be transferred to the Plaintiff. The Plaintiff further claims that unbeknownst to them John Forbes Brown surreptitiously removed the shares from his lawyer’s office and delivered them to Deep Well so that Deep Well could cancel them. The Plaintiff claims that Deep Well conspired with John Forbes Brown to defraud the creditors of John Forbes Brown by taking receipt and canceling the said shares. The Plaintiff claims that consideration paid by Deep Well for the said shares was invested in the home owned by John Forbes Brown and his wife. The Plaintiff seeks: 1.) an accounting of the proceeds and benefits derived by the dealings of the shares; 2.) the home owned by John Forbes Brown and his wife, to be held in trust on behalf of the Plaintiff and an accounting of proceeds related to this trust; 3.) damages from the Defendants because of their actions; 4.) a judgment for $15,612,645 Cdn; 5.) an order to sell John Forbes Brown’s home; and 6.) interest and costs.

We plan to vigorously defend ourselves against the Plaintiff’s claims.

In connection with the private placement a finder’s fee of $7,680 was paid, resulting in total net proceeds to our Company from the private placement of $69,120.

On February 23, 2006, pursuant to an exercised option agreement our Company entered into on June 7, 2005, our Company issued 4,707,750 Deep Well common shares in exchange for 156,925 of the outstanding preferred shares of Northern.

Each unit consisted of one common share and one common share purchase warrant and another twelve one-hundredths common share purchase warrant (“Special Warrant”).

The units were issued pursuant to Regulation S under the 1933 Act, as amended.

In September 2007, our Company issued an adjustment to three existing warrant holders. The original warrants dated March 10, 2005, contained a price adjustment in the event that our Company sold, issued or granted additional shares of its common stock at a price per share less than the exercise price of the warrant. In the event of a price adjustment, the number of shares exercisable under the warrant would also increase. Therefore, the exercise price of the original warrant has been adjusted from $0.50 to $0.40 per common share. Our Company has granted the warrant holders new warrants to purchase an additional 196,875 common shares for a total of 984,375 shares of our Company's common stock at an adjusted exercise price of $0.40 per share under the same terms as the original warrant. The warrants were issued pursuant to Section 4(2) of the 1933 Act.

Each unit is comprised of one common share, one common share purchase warrant (“Whole Warrant”) and 0.188000015 of one common share purchase warrant (“Additional Fractional Warrant”). Each Whole Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one common share at a price of $0.71 per common share for a period of three years from the date of closing. Each Additional Fractional Warrant entitles the holder to purchase 0.188000015 of one common share at a price of $0.95 for a period of three years from the date of closing. The Whole Warrants and the Additional Fractional Warrants expire on August 14, 2011. The units were issued pursuant to Regulation S under the 1933 Act, as amended. In connection with the First Tranche, the same investor has agreed to purchase additional securities of our Company (the “Second Tranche”) for gross proceeds of another $5,000,000. Such securities are expected to consist of units that will be substantially similar to the Units above, except that the purchase price of the securities to be issued in the Second Tranche is expected to be the lesser of (i) $0.75 per unit and (ii) the 30-day volume weighted average closing trading price of our common shares, measured as of the close of trading on October 30, 2008, less a 10% discount provided that the purchase price for such securities shall not be less than $0.40 per unit. Each full warrant issued as part of the Second Tranche is expected to be exercisable at a price that is 1.5 times the price at which the units will be issued in the Second Tranche, and each additional fractional warrant is expected to be exercisable at a price per whole Common Share that is 2 times the price at which the units will be issued in the Second Tranche.

On October 31, 2008, pursuant to a subscription agreement dated August 14, 2008 and effective October 31, 2008, we closed the second tranche of a private placement (the “Second Tranche”) to one investor (the “Subscriber”) of an aggregate of 12,500,000 units (“Units”) at a price of US$0.40 per Unit, for total gross proceeds of US$5,000,000. Each Unit is comprised of one (1) common share (“Common Share”), one (1) Common Share purchase warrant (“Whole Warrant”) and 0.16 of one Common Share purchase warrant (“Additional Fractional Warrant”). Each Whole Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one (1) Common Share at a price of US$0.60 per Common Share for a period of three years from the date of closing. Each Additional Fractional Warrant entitles the holder to purchase 0.16 of one Common Share at a price of US$0.80 for a period of three years from the date of closing. The Whole Warrants and the Additional Fractional Warrants expire on October 31, 2011. The units were issued pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
