Item 1.
This annual report contains forward-looking statements. These statements relate to future events or our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as may, should, expects, plans, anticipates, believes, estimates, predicts, potential or continue or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including the risks in the section entitled Risk Factors, that may cause our or our industrys actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.
Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.
Our financial statements are stated in United States Dollars (US$) and are prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
In this annual report, unless otherwise specified, all dollar amounts are expressed in United States Dollars and all references to common shares refer to the common shares in our capital stock.
Except as otherwise indicated by the context, references in this report to we, us our and our company are references to Mokita Ventures, Inc.
General Overview
Our company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on April 21, 2009, under the name Mokita Exploration, Ltd. Our company originally intended to develop its business as a mineral exploration company, however, due to the low supply of potentially profitable mining properties, our company abandoned its original plan and restructured its business strategy. We then focused our efforts on developing a business as a provider of credit card payment services for Canadian customers. To reflect our companys new focus, on February 5, 2010, we filed a Certificate of Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation changing our name to Mokita, Inc.
Our company is no longer working to develop a business as a provider of credit card payment services and we have changed our business direction towards the acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas properties. We decided to enter the oil and gas industry because we were seeking out viable options to create value for our shareholders. After conducting independent research on the feasibility of discovering and exploiting commercially recoverable amounts of oil and gas, we determined that an investment in oil and gas properties would be an excellent long term strategy that could potentially lead to lucrative business opportunities. On July 20, 2011, we filed a Certificate of Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation changing our name to Mokita Ventures, Inc., to reflect our companys new business plan.
Our Business
We are currently an exploration stage company focused on the acquisition, development and production of oil and gas properties. As of the date of this Report, we have entered into two Participation Agreements, as discussed below in greater detail, for a percentage working interest in two oil and gas properties. If the properties are viable and can be developed, we will receive a pro-rata share of any revenues generated from the properties, equivalent to our percentage working interests in the properties. There are leases underlying the wells in which we own working interests; however we are not the holder of these leases and therefore we are not responsible for the payment or evaluation of any obligations under such leases. The leaseholder of the properties is responsible for paying and maintaining the leases. If we are successful in generating revenues from our working interests in these oil and gas properties, we intend to acquire working interests in additional wells in the project area, subject to obtaining additional financing. Our business strategy also includes seeking opportunities for mergers or acquisitions with other companies or entities.
Although we are currently focused on projects located in certain geographic regions, we continually evaluate attractive resource opportunities in other geographic areas. Our current focus is on acquiring working interests in oil and/or gas wells in the state of Oklahoma. The oil and gas properties in which we have working interests do have proven reserves of oil or gas, but have been limited in nature. We have a limited operating income and as a result, we depend upon funding from various sources to continue operations and to implement our growth strategy.
4
To date, we have earned revenues of $4,317, have cash on hand of $191 and have incurred a net loss of $281,604 since inception to the year ended February 29, 2012. We do not anticipate earning substantial revenues until such time as the oil and gas properties in which we have working interests enter into commercial production. These factors raise substantial doubt about our companys ability to continue as a going concern. The continuation of our company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from our shareholders, the ability of our company to obtain necessary equity financing to achieve our operating objectives, and the attainment of profitable operations from our working interests in our oil and gas properties.
On March 15, 2012, we amended the terms of the amounts due to Exchequer Finance Inc. Under the amended terms, the amount owing of US$170,500 is now unsecured, bears interest at 10% per annum, and is due on March 15, 2014. In addition, the loan is convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price set at 75% of the average closing prices for the ten trading days immediately preceding the conversion date.
REPORTS TO SECURITY HOLDERS
We are required to file annual, quarterly and current reports, proxy statements and other information with the Securities and Exchange Commission and our filings are available to the public over the internet at the Securities and Exchange Commissions website at http://www.sec.gov. The public may read and copy any materials filed by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission at the Securities and Exchange Commissions Public Reference Room at 100 F Street N.E. Washington D.C. 20549. The public may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the Securities and Exchange Commission at 1-800-732-0330. The SEC also maintains an Internet site that contains reports, proxy and formation statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC, at http://www.sec.gov.
Item 1A.
Risk Factors
Risks Associated with our Company
We are an exploration stage company with a limited operating history and working interests in wells having no proven reserves; thus, we may not be able to develop commercial operations.
We are an exploration stage company with only a limited operating history upon which to base an evaluation of our current business and future prospects. The wells in which we currently own working interests have not been shown to contain any reserves. If oil or gas reserves in commercially exploitable quantities are discovered on any of the oil and gas properties in which we hold working interests, we will be required to expend a portion of the costs needed to establish the extent of the resource, extract the resource, and develop and process the resources. If a major reserve is discovered, there can be no assurance that such a reserve will be large enough to justify our operations in which case our business may fail.
We currently do not generate revenues, and as a result, we face a high risk of business failure.
Since changing our business plan to focus on the acquisition, development and production of oil and gas properties, we have primarily focused our efforts on the location and acquisition of our working interests in oil and gas properties. In order to generate revenues, we will have to incur a portion of the operators expenses in the evaluation and development of the oil and gas properties. There is no history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that we will generate any operating revenues from our working interests. Further, we recognize that if we are unable to generate significant revenues, our entire business may fail.
Our lack of diversification increases the risk of an investment in our company, and our financial condition and results of operations may deteriorate if we fail to diversify.
We lack diversification, in terms of both the nature and geographic scope of our business. The business of our company is focused solely on the acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas properties and to that end we have acquired small percentage working interests in only two wells located in Oklahoma. As a result, we will likely be impacted more acutely by factors affecting our industry or the regions in which we operate than we would if our business were more diversified.
We may not effectively manage the growth necessary to execute our business plan.
Our business plan anticipates an increase in the number of our oil and gas interests and in strategic business partnerships. This growth will place significant strain on our personnel, systems and resources. We expect that we will be required to hire qualified employees to help us manage our growth effectively. We believe that we will also be required to improve our management, technical, information and accounting systems, and controls and procedures. We may not be able to maintain the quality of our operations, control our costs and expand our internal management, technical information and accounting systems to support our desired growth. If we fail to manage our anticipated growth effectively, our business could be adversely affected.
5
Our Articles of Incorporation exculpate our officers and directors from any liability to our Company or our stockholders.
Our Articles of Incorporation contain a provision limiting the liability of our officers and directors for their acts or failures to act, except for acts involving intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law. This limitation on liability may reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against our officers and directors and may discourage or deter our stockholders from suing our officers and directors based upon breaches of their duties to our company.
The loss of key management personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business.
Our ability to develop our business depends in large part, on our ability to attract and maintain qualified key personnel. Competition for such personnel is intense, and we cannot assure you that we will be able to attract and retain them. Our development now and in the future will depend on the efforts of key management figures, such as, Douglas E. Forest, our president, chief executive officer, chief financial officer, treasurer and director and Irma N. Colón-Alonso, our secretary and director. The loss of these key people could have a material adverse effect on our business. We do not currently maintain life insurance on any of our key employees.
Since our executive officers have very little or no direct experience in the oil and gas industry, our company may never be successful in implementing its business strategy.
Douglas E. Forest, our president, chief executive officer, chief financial officer, treasurer and director and Irma N. Colón-Alonso, our secretary and director, have very little or no direct experience in the development of a business focused on the acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas properties. As a result, our management may not be fully aware of many of the specific requirements related to the successful operation thereof. Managements decisions and choices may not accurately account for the prevailing factors guiding others in the industry in their decision making processes. Consequently our operations, earnings and ultimate financial success could suffer irreparable harm due to managements lack of experience. As a result, we may have to suspend or cease operations.
As our companys management has other outside business activities, they are not devoting all of their time to our company, which may result in periodic interruptions or business failure.
Douglas E. Forest, our president, chief executive officer, chief financial officer, treasurer and director and Irma N. Colón-Alonso, our secretary and director, have other outside business activities. Mr. Forest currently devotes approximately 5 hours per week to our company and its operations, and Ms. Colón-Alonso, devotes approximately 5 hours per week to our company and its operations. Our operations may be sporadic and occur at times which are not convenient to either Mr. Forest or Ms. Colón-Alonso, which may result in periodic interruptions or suspensions of our business plan. If the demands of our companys business require their full business time, they are prepared to adjust their timetables to devote more time to our companys business. However, they may not be able to devote sufficient time to the management of our companys business, which may result in periodic interruptions in implementing our companys plans in a timely manner. Such delays could have a significant negative effect on the success of the business.
Risks Associated with our Business
The nature of oil and gas exploration makes the estimates of costs uncertain, and our operations may be adversely affected if we underestimate such costs.
We will share a portion of the ongoing costs of exploration and development of the oil and gas properties in which we have working interests, in a proportion equal to our working interests. It is difficult to project the operating costs associated with an exploratory drilling program. Complicating factors include the inherent uncertainties of drilling in unknown formations, the costs associated with encountering various drilling conditions, such as over-pressured zones and tools lost in the hole, and changes in drilling plans and locations as a result of prior exploratory wells. If the operators of our oil and gas interests underestimate the costs or potential challenges of such programs, we may be required to seek additional funding or abandon our interests.
Oil and gas operations are subject to comprehensive regulation, which may cause substantial delays or require capital outlays in excess of those anticipated causing an adverse effect on our company.
Oil and gas operations are subject to federal, state, and local laws relating to the protection of the environment, including laws regulating removal of natural resources from the ground and the discharge of materials into the environment. Oil and gas operations are also subject to federal, state, and local laws and regulations, which seek to maintain health and safety standards by regulating the design and use of drilling methods and equipment. Various permits from government bodies are required for drilling operations to be conducted; no assurance can be given that such permits will be received. Environmental standards imposed by federal, provincial, or local authorities may be changed and any such changes may have material adverse effects on our activities. Moreover, compliance with such laws may cause substantial delays or require capital outlays in excess of those anticipated, thus causing an adverse effect on us. Additionally, we may be subject to liability for pollution or other environmental damages, which it may elect not to insure against due to prohibitive premium costs and other reasons. To date we have not been required to spend any material amount on compliance with environmental regulations. However, we may be required to do so in the future and this may affect our ability to expand or maintain our operations.
6
Exploration and production activities are subject to certain environmental regulations, which may prevent or delay the commencement or continuance of our operations.
In general, our exploration and production activities are subject to certain federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to environmental quality and pollution control. Such laws and regulations increase the costs of these activities and may prevent or delay the commencement or continuance of a given operation. Compliance with these laws and regulations has not had a material effect on our operations or financial condition to date. Specifically, we are subject to legislation regarding emissions into the environment, water discharges and storage and disposition of hazardous wastes. In addition, legislation has been enacted which requires well and facility sites to be abandoned and reclaimed to the satisfaction of state authorities. However, such laws and regulations are frequently changed and we are unable to predict the ultimate cost of compliance. Generally, environmental requirements do not appear to affect us any differently or to any greater or lesser extent than other companies in the industry.
Prices and markets for oil and gas are unpredictable and tend to fluctuate significantly, which could reduce profitability, growth and the value of our business.
Our revenues and earnings, if any, will be highly sensitive to the prices of oil and gas. Prices for oil and gas are subject to large fluctuations in response to relatively minor changes in the supply and demand for oil and gas, market uncertainty and a variety of additional factors beyond our control. These factors include, without limitation, governmental fixing, pegging, controls or any combination of these and other factors, changes in domestic, international, political, social and economic environments, worldwide economic uncertainty, the availability and cost of funds for exploration and production, the actions of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, governmental regulations, political stability in the Middle East and elsewhere, war, or the threat of war, in oil producing regions, the foreign supply of oil, the price of foreign imports and the availability of alternate fuel sources. Significant changes in long-term price outlooks for crude oil or natural gas could have a material adverse effect on revenues as well as the value of our interests in the wells.
Any change to government regulation/administrative practices may have a negative impact on our ability to operate and our profitability.
The laws, regulations, policies or current administrative practices of any government body, organization or regulatory agency in the United States, or any other jurisdiction, may be changed, applied or interpreted in a manner which will fundamentally alter the ability of our company to carry on our business.
The actions, policies or regulations, or changes thereto, of any government body or regulatory agency, or other special interest groups, may have a detrimental effect on us. Any or all of these situations may have a negative impact on our ability to operate and/or our profitability.
Our business could be impaired if the leaseholders and operators of our oil and gas interests fail to comply with applicable regulations.
Failure to comply with government regulations could subject the leaseholders and operators of our oil and gas interests to civil and criminal penalties and require them to forfeit property rights or licenses, which in effect could cause us to lose our working interests. They may also be required to take corrective actions for failure to comply with applicable regulations which could require substantial capital expenditures, a portion of which we would be required to bear. As a result, our business operations and profitability could deteriorate due to regulatory constraints.
We may be unable to establish or maintain strategic relationships with industry participants, which may diminish our ability to conduct our operations.
Our potential to enter into strategic commercial arrangements or partnerships to obtain additional working interests in oil and gas properties and to grow our business depends upon our ability to develop and maintain close working relationships with industry participants and government officials. We may not be able to establish these strategic relationships, or if established, we may not be able to maintain them due to several factors including the inexperience of our management in the oil and gas industry, our limited number of working interests in oil and gas properties and the limited number of hours our management currently devotes to our business. In addition, the dynamics of our relationships with strategic partners may require us to incur expenses or undertake activities that we would not otherwise be inclined to undertake. If strategic relationships are not established or maintained, our business prospects may be limited, which could diminish our ability to conduct our operations.

Risks Associated with our Common Stock
There is no active trading market for our common stock and if a market for our common stock does not develop, our investors will be unable to sell their shares.
There is currently no active trading market for our common stock and such a market may not develop or be sustained. If a public market for our common stock does not develop, then investors may not be able to resell the shares of our common stock that they have purchased and may lose all of their investment. If we establish a trading market for our common stock, the market price of our common stock may be significantly affected by factors such as actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operation results, general market conditions and other factors. In addition, the stock market has from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have particularly affected the market prices for the shares of exploration stage companies, which may affect the market price of our common stock in a materially adverse manner.
We do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.
We do not intend to declare dividends for the foreseeable future, as we anticipate that we will reinvest any future earnings in the development and growth of our business. Therefore, investors will not receive any funds unless they sell their common stock, and stockholders may be unable to sell their shares on favorable terms or at all. We cannot assure you of a positive return on investment or that you will not lose the entire amount of your investment in our common stock.
We may in the future issue additional shares of our common stock which would reduce investors ownership interests in our company and which may dilute our share value.
Our Articles of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share. The future issuance of all or part of our remaining authorized common stock may result in substantial dilution in the percentage of our common stock held by our then existing stockholders. We may value any common stock issued in the future on an arbitrary basis. The issuance of common stock for future services or acquisitions or other corporate actions may have the effect of diluting the value of the shares held by our investors, and might have an adverse effect on any trading market for our common stock.
Our stock is a penny stock. Trading of our stock may be restricted by the Securities and Exchange Commissions penny stock regulations which may limit a stockholders ability to buy and sell our stock.
Our stock is a penny stock. The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which generally defines penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. The term accredited investor refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customers account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customers confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchasers written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of our common stock.
FINRA sales practice requirements may limit a stockholders ability to buy and sell our stock.
The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) has adopted rules that relate to the application of the SECs penny stock rules in trading our securities and require that a broker/dealer have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer, prior to recommending the investment. Prior to recommending speculative, low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker/dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customers financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information.
Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative, low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRAs requirements make it more difficult for broker/dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity and liquidity of our common stock. Further, many brokers charge higher transactional fees for penny stock transactions. As a result, fewer broker/dealers may be willing to make a market in our common stock, reducing a shareholders ability to resell shares of our common stock.

Properties
Our property consists of office space located at 7695 SW 104th St., Suite 210, Miami, FL 33156. We use such space for no charge to our company from Irma Colon-Alonso. Currently, this space is sufficient to meet our needs; however, once we expand our business to a significant degree, we will have to find a larger space. We do not currently own any real estate.
On May 12, 2011, our company entered into a Participation Agreement (the "Buckeye Participation Agreement") with Buckeye Exploration Company ("Buckeye"). Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Buckeye Participation Agreement, our company purchased a six percent (6%) working interest (the Helen Working Interest) in that certain well, known as the Helen Morrison #1 Well, which is located in the Southwest Otoe Prospect in Noble County, Oklahoma. In exchange for the Helen Working Interest, our company paid a purchase price of thirty two thousand six hundred seventy dollars ($32,670) to Buckeye.
On May 31, 2011, our company, entered into a Participation Agreement (the "Premier Participation Agreement") with Premier Operating Company ("Premier").

Buckeyes Geological Report dated July 12, 2011 Drilling Summary of Helen Well
Buckeye prepared a Geological Report, dated July 12, 2011, of the drilling activities on the Helen Well, summarized as follows:
The Helen Well was drilled over a ten (10) day period that consisted of very hot and dry weather. The actual drilling, along with all phases of the operation, went relatively smooth without any unforeseen surprises. The results of Buckeyes findings from the drilling were generally consistent with their original predictions.

Most notably, the highly anticipated Mississippi Reef formation inside of the Helen Well was present in its entirety in the expected structural position. Buckeye anticipates perforating the entire forty-four (44) feet of gross thickness of the Mississippi in which all of the best samples of oil shows occurred. The bottom thirty (30) feet of the formation appeared to have the best porosity and permeability. The bottom section is expected to produce the most oil, due to those findings. Water saturation for the entire forty-four (44) feet of the zone was surprisingly low.
The Avant Lime, found at (3,189) feet below the surface, and the Middle Oswego Lime formation, drilled in at (4,186) feet below the surface, each have a history of natural gas production in the immediate East Polo Field area. However, these natural gas zones, which are secondary in nature to the Mississippi, were not tested at that time. Buckeye intends to explore the oil rich zones for production now while the oil prices are at such a premium and natural gas prices are consistently lagging behind. Further, Buckeye intends to promptly begin the completion process on the Mississippi Reef (4,742 to 4,786) below surface, with forty four (44) net feet of perforations.

Future Oil and Gas Interests
If we are successful in generating revenues from our current working interests in oil and gas properties, we intend to acquire working interests in additional wells within the same project area, subject to obtaining additional financing. Our search for oil and gas leases or working interests in leases will be directed towards small and medium-sized oil and natural gas production companies and properties.
We are looking for low risk interests and properties which have the following qualities:
·
At least developmental drilling in proven producing areas;
·
High performance of other wells in the area;
·
Good geological and engineering reports;
·
Diversified package of wells to be drilled (at least two wells in the project);
·
Significant additional production capacity through developmental drilling, recompletions and workovers;
·
Further developmental potential; and
·
In some cases, ability to assume operatorship or appointment of a known operator with relevant experience in the area.
The Oil and Gas Industry
The United States ranks as the third highest oil producing country in the world and ranks first as the country with the highest consumption of oil. The United States ranks as the second highest natural gas producing country in the world and ranks first as the country with the highest consumption of natural gas. (U.S. Energy Information Administration. 2009. Retrieved on July 22, 2011 from and publicly available at: http://www.eia.gov/countries/index.cfm?view=production).
Currently, oil and natural gas fuel more than 97 percent of Americas vehicles, whether on land, sea, or in the air. Oil and natural gas are also key components in the vast majority of all manufactured goods. Whether its surgical equipment, fertilizers, phones, CDs, paints or fuels, the oil and natural gas industry supports our day-to-day safety, mobility, health and lifestyle. (Energy Tomorrow. Retrieved on July 22, 2011 from and publicly available at: http://energytomorrow.org/issues/oil-and-gas-101/petroleum-products/).
Further, the demand for oil and gas is expected to significantly rise. The U.S. will require 21 percent more energy in 2035 than in 2009 with more than half of the energy demand expected to be met by oil and natural gas. Today, oil accounts for 37 percent of our energy use with the lions share of it fueling 94 percent of our transportation energy needs. Although ethanol and other biofuels are expected to grow rapidly in the future and steadily displace some oil use, the U.S. Energy Information Administration forecasts oil will continue to account for the largest share of our energy needs filling 33 percent of total energy demand and 85 percent of our transportation needs in 2035.

Globally, the demand for energy has also hit all time highs and countries such as China and India are driving this demand. India and China will account for 45 percent of the increase in global primary energy demand by 2030, with both countries more than doubling their energy use over that period (The Worlds 10 Biggest Oil Consumers. Rediff Business. March 12, 2010. Retrieved on July 22, 2011 from and publicly available at: http://business.rediff.com/slide-show/2010/mar/12/slide-show-1-worlds-10-biggest-oil-consumers.htm#contentTop). As the population density increases, the demand for oil and gas will rise. Of course, the price history of oil and gas is not one of constant increase, and every investor should be aware of this.
Recent forecasts by the U.S. Energy Information Administration estimate that sustaining a 3.2 percent rate of annual growth in the global economy from 2007 to 2035 (measured in purchasing power parity) will require an expansion of about 24.5 million barrels per day in global oil supplies. That is an increase equivalent to nearly doubling the current consumption of North America. The growth in demand for natural gas worldwide is expected to be even larger, increasing by 45 percent from 2007 to 2035. Despite significant growth of renewables and improvements in energy efficiency, more than half of the worlds energy demand will be met in 2035 by oil and natural gas, as is the case today.

There are significant risks associated with direct investing in oil and gas projects. However, we believe that direct investments in oil & gas can provide high potential returns and cash flow. There have been many new discoveries in oil and gas developmental technology, including faster drilling speeds, greater access to resources, better completion techniques and even turn-key drilling commitments for drilling deeper than 20,000 feet. Oil and gas prices are now sufficiently high enough to warrant drilling deeper and spending more money to do it. Ten or more years ago, oil drilling was very risky, largely due to the probability of hitting a dry well. However, technology has come a long way since then. The latest techniques include the use of satellite mapping and horizontal drilling. This enables producers to locate and drill more effectively, thus reducing cost.
Significant oil and gas discoveries that are announced today often result from investments begun by companies as far back as a decade or more ago. Since the year 2000, our industry invested over 2 trillion dollars in U.S. capital projects to meet the growing demand for oil and natural gas. The worldwide economic downturn, along with lower oil and natural gas prices and tight credit markets, caused some oil and natural gas producers to cut their capital budget plans in 2009. However, investments have since rebounded. (Energizing America. Facts for Addressing Energy Policy. energyAPI. May 2, 2011.

Competition
The oil and gas industry is highly competitive. We compete with other companies for financing and for the acquisition of new interests in oil and gas properties. Almost all of the companies with whom we compete have greater financial and technical resources than those available to us. Accordingly, these competitors may be able to spend greater amounts on acquiring interests in oil and gas properties of merit. In addition, they may be able to afford more geological and other technical expertise in the targeting of new oil and gas interests. This competition could result in competitors having working interests in oil and gas properties of greater quality and production potential.
Governmental Regulation
General
The production and sale of oil and gas is subject to regulation by federal, state, and local authorities. In most areas there are statutory provisions regulating the production of oil and natural gas, pursuant to which administrative agencies may promulgate rules in connection with the operation and production of wells, ascertain and determine the reasonable market demand of oil and gas, and adjust allowable rates of production with respect thereto.
The sale of liquid hydrocarbons was subject to federal regulation under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975, which amended various acts, including the Emergency Petroleum Allocation Act of 1973. These regulations and controls included mandatory restrictions upon the prices at which most domestic crude oil and various petroleum products could be sold. All price controls and restrictions on the sale of crude oil at the wellhead have been withdrawn. It is possible, however, that such controls may be reimposed in the future but when, if ever, such re-imposition might occur and the effect thereof cannot be predicted.
The sale of certain categories of natural gas in interstate commerce is subject to regulation under the Natural Gas Act and the Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978 (NGPA). Under the NGPA, a comprehensive set of statutory ceiling prices applies to all first sales of natural gas unless the gas is specifically exempt from regulation (i.e., unless the gas is deregulated). Administration and enforcement of the NGPA ceiling prices are delegated to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). In June 1986, FERC issued Order No. 451, which, in general, is designed to provide a higher NGPA ceiling price for certain vintages of old gas. It is possible that the leaseholders of our oil and gas properties may in the future acquire significant amounts of natural gas subject to NGPA price regulations and/or FERC Order No. 451.
Legislation affecting the oil and natural gas industry is under constant review for amendment and expansion. Many departments and agencies, both federal and state, are authorized by statute to issue and have issued rules and regulations binding on the oil and natural gas industry and its individual participants. The failure to comply with such rules and regulations can result in large penalties.
The regulatory burden on this industry could increase the operating expenses of the operators of the oil and gas properties in which we have working interests and therefore, affect our profitability. However, we do not believe that these regulations will have a significant negative impact on our limited operations with respect to our oil and gas interests.
Regulation of Drilling and Production
The drilling and production operations of the oil and gas properties in which we have working interests are subject to regulation under a wide range of state and federal statutes, rules, orders and regulations. Among other matters, these statutes and regulations govern:
·
the amounts and types of substances and materials that may be released into the environment;
·
the discharge and disposition of waste materials;
·
the reclamation and abandonment of wells and facility sites; and
·
the remediation of contaminated sites.
In order to comply with these statutes and regulations, the leaseholders of the oil and gas properties in which we hold working interests were required to obtain permits for drilling operations, drilling bonds, and reports concerning operations. Failure to comply with these statutes and regulations could result in substantial fines or penalties being imposed upon the leaseholders, which in turn could negatively affect our profitability.
14
Environmental Regulations
The drilling and production operations of oil and gas properties are affected by various federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations, including the Oil Pollution Act of 1990, Federal Water Pollution Control Act, and Toxic Substances Control Act. The Comprehensive Environmental, Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) and comparable state statutes impose strict, joint and several liability on owners and operators of sites and on persons who dispose of or arrange for the disposal of hazardous substances found at such sites. It is not uncommon for neighboring land owners and other third parties to file claims for personal injury and property damage allegedly caused by hazardous substances released into the environment. The Federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) and comparable state statutes govern the disposal of solid waste and hazardous waste and authorize the imposition of substantial fines and penalties for noncompliance. Although CERCLA currently excludes petroleum from its definition of hazardous substance, state laws affecting our operations may impose clean-up liability relating to petroleum and petroleum related products. In addition, although RCRA classifies certain oil field wastes as non-hazardous, such exploration and production wastes could be reclassified as hazardous wastes thereby making such wastes subject to more stringent handling and disposal requirements.
Generally, environmental laws and regulations govern the discharge of materials into the environment or the disposal of waste materials, or otherwise relate to the protection of the environment. In particular, the following activities are subject to stringent environmental regulations:
·
drilling;
·
development and production operations;
·
activities in connection with storage and transportation of oil and other liquid hydrocarbons; and
·
use of facilities for treating, processing or otherwise handling hydrocarbons and wastes.
Violations are subject to reporting requirements, civil penalties and criminal sanctions. Compliance with existing regulations increases the overall costs of business for the leaseholders and operators of the oil and gas properties as well as for us, as we bear a portion of these expenses. The increased costs cannot be easily determined. Such areas affected include:
·
unit production expenses primarily related to the control and limitation of air emissions and the disposal of produced water;
·
capital costs to drill exploration and development wells resulting from expenses primarily related to the management and disposal of drilling fluids and other oil and natural gas exploration wastes; and
·
capital costs to construct, maintain and upgrade equipment and facilities and remediate, plug, and abandon inactive well sites and pits.
Environmental regulations historically have been subject to frequent change by regulatory authorities. Therefore, we are unable to predict the ongoing cost of compliance with these laws and regulations or the future impact of such regulations. However, we do not believe that changes to these regulations will have a significant negative effect upon our oil and gas interests.

Supplemental Information on Oil Producing Properties (Unaudited)
Supplemental Reserve Information
The information set forth below on our proved oil reserves is presented pursuant to the disclosure requirements of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 932 Extractive Activities Oil and Gas (ASC 932). The Company emphasizes that reserve estimates are inherently imprecise. Our reserve estimates were generally based upon extrapolation of historical production trends, analogy to similar properties and volumetric calculations. Accordingly, these estimates are expected to change and such changes could be material and occur in the near term as future information becomes available.
The Company retained the service of an independent petroleum consultant Ramsey Property Management, LLC, to estimate its proved oil reserves at February 29, 2012.
The following table sets forth a summary of changes in estimated reserves for 2012 and 2011:

Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flow Relating to Proved Oil Reserves
The following information has been developed utilizing procedures prescribed by ASC 932 and based on oil reserve and production volumes estimated by the Companys independent reserve engineers. It may be useful for certain comparison purposes but should not be solely relied upon in evaluating the Company or its performance. Further, information contained in the following table should not be considered as representative of realistic assessments of future cash flows nor should the Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows be viewed as representative of the current value of the Company.
The future cash flows presented below are computed by applying the average prices for the first day of the twelve months ended February 29, 2012 to year-end quantities of proved oil reserves. Future production and development costs are computed by estimating the expenditures to be incurred in producing the Companys proved reserves based on year-end costs and assuming continuation of existing economic conditions. It is expected that material revisions to some estimates of oil and natural gas reserves may occur in the future, development and production of the reserves may occur in periods other than those assumed, and actual prices realized and costs incurred may vary significantly from those used.
Management does not rely upon the following information in making investment and operating decisions. Such decision are based upon a wide range of factors, including estimates of proved reserves, and varying price and cost assumptions are considered more representative of a range of possible economic conditions that may be anticipated.

During the year ended February 29, 2012, our company recorded oil and gas production revenue of $4,317 compared with $nil for the year ended February 28, 2011. The increase is due to the fact that our company acquired interests in two oil and gas properties during the year, which began producing revenue.
20
Operating Expenses and Net Loss
Operating expenses for the year ended February 29, 2012 was $220,069 compared with $50,382 for the year ended February 28, 2011. The increase of $169,687 is attributed to production costs related to the oil and gas property, as well as overhead and general costs relating to the due diligence and acquisition of the properties. Furthermore, our company incurred an impairment loss of $61,026 for oil and gas properties, and an increase of $18,399 in professional fees for legal, accounting, and audit costs relating to the acquisition of the properties and increase in time and costs due to an overall increase in operations.
Overall, net loss for the year ended February 29, 2012 was $228,609 or $0.03 loss per share compared with a net loss of $50,382 and a loss per share of $0.02 for the year ended February 28, 2011.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As at February 29 2012, our company had a cash balance of $191 compared with $1,141 at February 28, 2011. The decrease in cash was attributed to net cash received and used during the year as our company raised financing and obtaining cash from operations, but also incurred significant production costs and general operating costs. The total asset balance as at February 29, 2012 was $23,949 compared to $2,141 at February 28, 2011. The increase in total assets was attributed to increase in oil and gas properties of $21,594 which included the acquisition costs of the two oil and gas properties net of depreciation, depletion, amortization, and impairment costs that were recognized during the year.
As at February 29, 2012, our company had total liabilities of $194,196 compared with $7,136 at February 28, 2011. The increase in total liabilities was attributed to an increase in a note payable of $150,000, an increase of $31,801 in accounts payable and accrued liabilities for overall increase in operating costs and the lack of sufficient cash flow to settle outstanding obligations as they come due, and $1,259 for asset retirement costs related to future estimated completion costs for restoration and rehabilitation of oil and gas properties after full completion of production.
Cashflow from Operating Activities
During the year ended February 29, 2012, our company used $93,280 of cash for operating activities compared to the use of $48,859 of cash for operating activities during the year ended February 28, 2011. The increase in cash used for operating activities was attributed to an overall increase in production costs relating to the production of the two oil and gas properties for our company.
Cashflow from Investing Activities
During the year ended February 29, 2012, our company incurred $49,500 of cash for investing activities related to the acquisition costs of the oil and gas properties. During the year ended February 28, 2011, our company did not have any investing activities.
Cashflow from Financing Activities
During the year ended February 29, 2012, our company received a net amount of $141,830 of cash from financing activities related to borrowings from a non-related party which is unsecured, non-interest bearing, and due on demand. During the year ended February 28, 2011, our company received proceeds of $50,000 including $45,500 from the issuance of common shares, and $4,500 from a related party.
Going Concern
We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue any extensive acquisitions and activities. For these reasons, our auditors stated in their report on our audited financial statements that they have substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern without further financing.
Future Financings
We will continue to rely on equity sales of our common shares in order to continue to fund our business operations. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to existing stockholders. There is no assurance that we will achieve any additional sales of the equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund planned acquisitions and exploration activities.
21
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to stockholders.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
We regularly evaluate the accounting policies and estimates that we use to prepare our financial statements. A complete summary of these policies is included in the notes to our financial statements. In general, management's estimates are based on historical experience, on information from third party professionals, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the facts and circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Our company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. Our company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by our company may differ materially and adversely from our companys estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.
Cash and cash equivalents
Our company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.
Foreign Currency Translation
Our companys functional currency is the United States dollar and its reporting currency is the United States dollar. Foreign currency transactions are translated to United States dollars in accordance with ASC 830, Foreign Currency Translation Matters, using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Gains and losses arising on translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income. Foreign currency transactions are primarily undertaken in Canadian dollars.
Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share
Our company computes net loss per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti dilutive.
22
Financial Instruments
Pursuant to ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, an entity is required to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instruments categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 - Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.
Level 3 - Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
Our companys financial instruments consist principally of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, note payable, and amounts due to related parties. Pursuant to ASC 820, the fair value of our cash is determined based on Level 1 inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. We believe that the recorded values of all of our other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective maturity dates or durations.
Comprehensive Loss
ASC 220, Comprehensive Income, establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the financial statements. As at February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011, our company has no items that represent a comprehensive loss and, therefore, has not included a schedule of comprehensive loss in the financial statements.
Oil and Gas Properties
Our company utilizes the full-cost method of accounting for petroleum and natural gas properties. Under this method, our company capitalizes all costs associated with acquisition, exploration and development of oil and natural gas reserves, including leasehold acquisition costs, geological and geophysical expenditures, lease rentals on undeveloped properties and costs of drilling of productive and non-productive wells into the full cost pool on a country by country basis. When our company obtains proven oil and gas reserves, capitalized costs, including estimated future costs to develop the reserves proved and estimated abandonment costs, net of salvage, will be depleted on the units-of-production method using estimates of proved reserves. The costs of unproved properties are not amortized until it is determined whether or not proved reserves can be assigned to the properties. Until such determination is made our company assesses annually whether impairment has occurred, and includes in the amortization base drilling exploratory dry holes associated with unproved properties.
Our company applies a ceiling test to the capitalized cost in the full cost pool. The ceiling test limits such cost to the estimated present value, using a ten percent discount rate, of the future net revenue from proved reserves, based on current economic and operating conditions. Specifically, our company computes the ceiling test so that capitalized cost, less accumulated depletion and related deferred income tax, do not exceed an amount (the ceiling) equal to the sum of: (a) The present value of estimated future net revenue computed by applying constant prices of oil and gas reserves based on an average of prices during the year (with consideration of price changes only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements) to estimated future production of proved oil and gas reserves as of the date of the latest balance sheet presented, less estimated future expenditures (based on current cost) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved reserves computed using a discount factor of ten percent and assuming continuation of existing economic conditions; plus (b) the cost of property not being amortized; plus (c) the lower of cost or estimated fair value of unproven properties included in the costs being amortized; less (d) income tax effects related to differences between the book and tax basis of the property.
Managements assumptions used in calculating oil and gas reserves or regarding the future net cash flows or fair value of our companys properties are subject to change in the future. Any change, such as changes in reserves or commodity price forecasts, could cause changes in the fair value estimates of the properties or impairment expense to be recorded, impacting net income or loss of our company. Any change in reserves directly impacts future cash flows and fair values of the properties.
23
Asset Retirement Obligations
Our company follows the provisions of ASC 410, Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations, which establishes standards for the initial measurement and subsequent accounting for obligations associated with the sale, abandonment or other disposal of long-lived tangible assets arising from the acquisition, construction or development and for normal operations of such assets.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Our company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and our company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations
Contractual Obligations
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide tabular disclosure obligations.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors
Mokita Ventures , Inc.
(An Exploration Stage Company)
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Mokita, Inc. (an exploration stage company) as of February 29, 2012, and the related statement of operations, changes in stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the year then ended. The financial statements for the year ended February 28, 2011 were audited by other auditors whose report expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements. The financial statements for the period from April 21, 2009 (inception) to February 29, 2012, insofar as it relates to amounts for prior periods through February 28, 2011, is based solely on the report of other auditors. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Mokita Ventures , Inc. as of February 29, 2012, and the results of its operations, changes in stockholders' deficit and cash flows for the period described above in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has very little operations to date, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans regarding those matters also are described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to the Financial Statements
1.
Nature of Operations and Continuance of Business
Mokita Ventures, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on April 21, 2009. The Company is a development stage company, as defined by Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 915, Development Stage Entities. The Companys principal operations were to provide credit card payment systems. In May 2011, the Company acquired working interests in oil and gas properties and changed its principal operations to the acquisition and development of oil and gas properties.
Going Concern
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies that the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. As at February 29, 2012, the Company has recognized only nominal revenues from its oil and gas production, has a working capital deficit of $190,582 and an accumulated deficit of $281,604. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its management, and its ability to identify future investment opportunities and obtain the necessary debt or equity financing, and generating profitable operations from the Companys future operations. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
a)
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (US GAAP) and are expressed in U.S. dollars. The Companys fiscal year end is February 28.
b)
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Companys estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.
c)
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents. As at February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011, the Company had no cash equivalents.
d)
Foreign Currency Translation
The Companys functional currency is the United States dollar and its reporting currency is the United States dollar. Foreign exchange items are translated to United States dollars in accordance with ASC 830, Foreign Currency Translation Matters, using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Gains and losses arising on translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income. Foreign currency transactions are primarily undertaken in Canadian dollars.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
e)
Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share
The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti dilutive.

Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.
Level 3
Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The Companys financial instruments consist principally of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, note payable, and amounts due to related parties. Pursuant to ASC 820, the fair value of our cash is determined based on Level 1 inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. We believe that the recorded values of all of our other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective maturity dates or durations.
g)
Comprehensive Loss
ASC 220, Comprehensive Income, establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the financial statements. As at February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011, the Company has no items that represent a comprehensive loss and, therefore, has not included a schedule of comprehensive loss in the financial statements.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
h)
Oil and Gas Properties
The Company utilizes the full-cost method of accounting for petroleum and natural gas properties. Under this method, the Company capitalizes all costs associated with acquisition, exploration and development of oil and natural gas reserves, including leasehold acquisition costs, geological and geophysical expenditures, lease rentals on undeveloped properties and costs of drilling of productive and non-productive wells into the full cost pool on a country by country basis. When the Company obtains proven oil and gas reserves, capitalized costs, including estimated future costs to develop the reserves proved and estimated abandonment costs, net of salvage, will be depleted on the units-of-production method using estimates of proved reserves. The costs of unproved properties are not amortized until it is determined whether or not proved reserves can be assigned to the properties. Until such determination is made the Company assesses annually whether impairment has occurred, and includes in the amortization base drilling exploratory dry holes associated with unproved properties.
The Company applies a ceiling test to the capitalized cost in the full cost pool. The ceiling test limits such cost to the estimated present value, using a ten percent discount rate, of the future net revenue from proved reserves, based on current economic and operating conditions. Specifically, the Company computes the ceiling test so that capitalized cost, less accumulated depletion and related deferred income tax, do not exceed an amount (the ceiling) equal to the sum of: (a) The present value of estimated future net revenue computed by applying constant prices of oil and gas reserves based on an average of prices during the year (with consideration of price changes only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements) to estimated future production of proved oil and gas reserves as of the date of the latest balance sheet presented, less estimated future expenditures (based on current cost) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved reserves computed using a discount factor of ten percent and assuming continuation of existing economic conditions; plus (b) the cost of property not being amortized; plus (c) the lower of cost or estimated fair value of unproven properties included in the costs being amortized; less (d) income tax effects related to differences between the book and tax basis of the property.
Managements assumptions used in calculating oil and gas reserves or regarding the future net cash flows or fair value of the Companys properties are subject to change in the future. Any change, such as changes in reserves or commodity price forecasts, could cause changes in the fair value estimates of the properties or impairment expense to be recorded, impacting net income or loss of the Company. Any change in reserves directly impacts future cash flows and fair values of the properties.
During the year ended February 29, 2012, the Company recorded depreciation, depletion, and amortization expense of $720 and recognized an impairment of oil & gas properties of $61,026.
i)
Asset Retirement Obligations
The Company follows the provisions of ASC 410, Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations, which establishes standards for the initial measurement and subsequent accounting for obligations associated with the sale, abandonment or other disposal of long-lived tangible assets arising from the acquisition, construction or development and for normal operations of such assets. As at February 29, 2012, the Company recorded asset retirement obligations of $1,259. The Company assumed $1,170 in asset retirement obligations with their asset acquisitions and recognized $89 of accretion expense during the year ended February 29, 2012.
j)
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations

Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
On June 21, 2011, M&K CPAS, PLLC (M&K) was engaged as the registered independent public accountant for our company and Child, Van Wagoner & Bradshaw PLLC (CVWB) was dismissed as the registered independent public accountant for our company. The decisions to appoint M&K and dismiss CVWB were approved by the board of directors of our company on June 21, 2011.
Other than the disclosure of uncertainty regarding the ability for us to continue as a going concern which was included in our accountants report on the financial statements for the years ended February 28, 2011 and 2010, CVWBs reports on the financial statements of our company for the years ended February 28, 2011 and 2010 or subsequent interim period did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.
There were no disagreements with our accountants related to accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, internal controls or auditing scope or procedure during the two fiscal years and subsequent interim periods.
Item 9A.
Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer (our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer), as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer (our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of February 29, 2012. Based on the evaluation of these disclosure controls and procedures, and in light of the material weaknesses found in our internal controls over financial reporting, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer (our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer) concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
Managements Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Our companys internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer (our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer), our company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our companys internal control over financial reporting as of February 29, 2012 using the criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO").
A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our companys annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of February 29, 2012, our company determined that there were control deficiencies that constituted material weaknesses, as described below.
1.
We do not have an Audit Committee While not being legally obligated to have an audit committee, it is the managements view that such a committee, including a financial expert member, is an utmost important entity level control over our companys financial statement. Currently the Board of Directors acts in the capacity of the Audit Committee, and does not include a member that is considered to be independent of management to provide the necessary oversight over managements activities.
25
2.
We did not maintain appropriate cash controls As of February 29, 2012, our company has not maintained sufficient internal controls over financial reporting for the cash process, including failure to segregate cash handling and accounting functions, and did not require dual signature on our companys bank accounts. Alternatively, the effects of poor cash controls were mitigated by the fact that our company had limited transactions in their bank accounts.
3.
We did not implement appropriate information technology controls As at February 29, 2012, our company retains copies of all financial data and material agreements; however there is no formal procedure or evidence of normal backup of our companys data or off-site storage of the data in the event of theft, misplacement, or loss due to unmitigated factors.
Accordingly, our company concluded that these control deficiencies resulted in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by our companys internal controls.
As a result of the material weaknesses described above, management has concluded that our company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of February 29, 2012 based on criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by COSO.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with our evaluation we conducted of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of February 29, 2012, that occurred during our fourth fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our companys registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Managements report was not subject to attestation by our companys registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the SEC that permit our company to provide only managements report in this annual report.
Continuing Remediation Efforts to address deficiencies in our Companys Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Once our company is engaged in a business of merit and has sufficient personnel available, then our board of Directors, in particular and in connection with the aforementioned deficiencies, will establish the following remediation measures:

Identification of Significant Employees
We have no significant employees, other than Irma N. Colón-Alonso, our secretary and director and Douglas E Forest our president, chief executive officer, chief financial officer, treasurer and director.
Family Relationship
There are no family relationships between any of our directors, executive officers and proposed directors or executive officers.
Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
To the best of our knowledge, none of our directors or executive officers has, during the past ten years:
1.
been convicted in a criminal proceeding or been subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offences);
2.
had any bankruptcy petition filed by or against the business or property of the person, or of any partnership, corporation or business association of which he was a general partner or executive officer, either at the time of the bankruptcy filing or within two years prior to that time;
3.
been subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction or federal or state authority, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting, his involvement in any type of business, securities, futures, commodities, investment, banking, savings and loan, or insurance activities, or to be associated with persons engaged in any such activity;
4.
been found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a civil action or by the SEC or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended, or vacated;
5.
been the subject of, or a party to, any federal or state judicial or administrative order, judgment, decree, or finding, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated (not including any settlement of a civil proceeding among private litigants), relating to an alleged violation of any federal or state securities or commodities law or regulation, any law or regulation respecting financial institutions or insurance companies including, but not limited to, a temporary or permanent injunction, order of disgorgement or restitution, civil money penalty or temporary or permanent cease-and-desist order, or removal or prohibition order, or any law or regulation prohibiting mail or wire fraud or fraud in connection with any business entity; or
6.
been the subject of, or a party to, any sanction or order, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any self-regulatory organization (as defined in Section 3(a)(26) of the Exchange Act (15 U.S.C. 78c(a)(26)), any registered entity (as defined in Section 1(a)(29) of the Commodity Exchange Act (7 U.S.C. 1(a)(29)), or any equivalent exchange, association, entity or organization that has disciplinary authority over its members or persons associated with a member.
Audit Committee and Audit Committee Financial Expert
Our board of directors has determined that it does not have a member of its audit committee that qualifies as an "audit committee financial expert" as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K, and is "independent" as the term is used in Item 7(d)(3)(iv) of Schedule 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
We believe that members of our board of directors are capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. We believe that retaining an independent director who would qualify as an "audit committee financial expert" would be overly costly and burdensome and is not warranted in our circumstances given the early stages of our development and the fact that we have not generated any material revenues to date. In addition, we currently do not have nominating, compensation or audit committees or committees performing similar functions nor do we have a written nominating, compensation or audit committee charter. Our directors do not believe that it is necessary to have such committees because they believe the functions of such committees can be adequately performed by the members of our board of directors.
Code of Ethics
Our board of directors has not adopted a code of ethics due to the fact that we presently only have two directors and we are in the development stage of our operations. We anticipate that we will adopt a code of ethics when we increase either the number of our directors and officers or the number of our employees.
28
Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
Our common stock is not registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). Accordingly, our officers, directors, and principal stockholders are not subject to the beneficial ownership reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence
Related Party Transactions
Except as disclosed herein, no director, executive officer, shareholder holding at least 5% of shares of our common stock, or any family member thereof, had any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction, or proposed transaction since the year ended February 29, 2012, in which the amount involved in the transaction exceeded or exceeds the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of our total assets at the year-end for the last three completed fiscal years.
Director Independence
We currently act with two directors, consisting of Irma N. Colón-Alonso and Douglas E. Forest. We have determined that our directors are not independent directors as defined in NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4200(a)(15).
We do not have a standing audit, compensation or nominating committee, but our entire board of directors acts in such capacities. We believe that our members of our board of directors are capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. The board of directors of our company does not believe that it is necessary to have an audit committee because we believe that the functions of an audit committee can be adequately performed by the board of directors. In addition, we believe that retaining an independent director who would qualify as an audit committee financial expert would be overly costly and burdensome and is not warranted in our circumstances given the early stages of our development.

Our board of directors pre-approves all services provided by our independent auditors. All of the above services and fees were reviewed and approved by the board of directors either before or after the respective services were rendered.
Our board of directors has considered the nature and amount of fees billed by our independent auditors and believes that the provision of services for activities unrelated to the audit is compatible with maintaining our independent auditors independence.
