PART I

ITEM 1.     DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

We were incorporated in Delaware on December 15, 1999. On December 22, 1999 we merged with Island Critical Care Corp., an inactive Florida corporation. The purpose of this merger was to effect a change in the domicile of the Florida Corporation to Delaware. Island Critical Care Corp. (a Florida corporation), was originally incorporated on March 15, 1996 under the name 9974 Holdings Inc., and subsequently changed its name from 9974 Holdings Inc. to Ontario Midwestern Railway Co. Inc, and finally the Florida Corporation's name was changed to Midwestern Railway Co. Inc. All three changes in name of the Florida Corporation were completed prior to its merger with the Delaware Corporation. On January 13, 2000, we merged with Island Critical Care Corporation, an Ontario Corporation. On December 27, 2004 we changed our name from Island Critical Care to Kodiak Energy, Inc ("Kodiak").

On February 5, 2003 the Company filed a petition for bankruptcy in the District of Prince Edward Island, Division No. 01-Prince Edward Island Court No. 1713, Estate No. 51-104460. The Company emerged from Bankruptcy pursuant to a court order on April 7, 2004 with no assets and no liabilities. Upon emergence from bankruptcy the company adopted Fresh Start Accounting pursuant to SOP 90-7 "Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy Code."

BUSINESS

The Company is an exploration stage oil and gas company that devotes most of its efforts in exploring for natural resources. The Company has no oil and gas reserves or production.

The Company has three wholly-owned subsidiaries, Kodiak Petroleum ULC, an Alberta corporation; Kodiak Petroleum (Montana), Inc., a Delaware corporation, in which the Company is conducting its Montana and New Mexico activities and Kodiak Petroleum (Utah), Inc., a Delaware corporation.

Since 2005, the Company has been active in Canada and the United States in acquiring properties that are prospective for petroleum and natural gas and related hydrocarbons. The Company has or is participating in five areas in Canada and two in the United States. Following are descriptions of the Company's current projects.

Canada

Manyberries – Southeast Alberta

In 2006, the Corporation farmed into these lands which comprised nine sections (5,760 acres) of contiguous, undeveloped Petroleum and Natural Gas (P&NG”) rights in southeast Alberta. The Corporation drilled and tested two wells and recompleted and tested one other well in March of 2006 on this property, which earned the Corporation a 66 2/3% interest in the lands. After further evaluation during 2007, the Corporation allowed the leases to expire and relinquished its interest in the project.

Province/Granlea – Southeast Alberta

The Corporation purchased a 50% working interest in two sections (1280 acres gross -640 net) of P&NG rights at a provincial land sale on September 22, 2005. In 2005, a 2D seismic program was completed on the property and in 2006, a well was drilled and completed; surface facilities were installed and a pipeline tie-in was completed. Production commenced in September, 2006. The well produced for a short period until excess water rates occurred and in October, 2006 the well was shut in. After the well bore was evaluated as having no current economic production potential, the well was abandoned. The Corporation intends to sell the surface facilities and consider additional internal geological reviews of the prospect to determine if any further drilling is warranted.

Fort McMurray – Northern Alberta

The Corporation, jointly with two partners, acquired two blocks of P&NG licenses over sixty-four sections of land near Fort McMurray in northeastern Alberta. The licenses are for all P&NG Rights from the base of the Woodbend formation to fifteen meters into the top of the Precambrian subject to a 2.5% gross overriding royalty reserved for the Seller in the subject lands. The Corporation had an initial 50 % working interest, but in 2007 increased it to 100% by acquiring the other partners’ interests. A farmout to have a seismic and drilling program carried out for 2008 may be considered or the Corporation may dispose of its interest.

Lucy – Northern British Columbia

The Corporation initially had a 10% working interest in the Lucy/Highwood lands (BC P&NG Lease #44104) consisting of approximately three square miles (799 hectares) located in the North Yoyo Otter Park shale basin in northeastern Britsh Columbia. A well was drilled in December 2006. After some difficult drilling conditions, the lower zones in this well were abandoned.

The Corporation recently initiated an independent operations drilling program on the Lucy prospect and operated the drilling of Kodiak et al Gunnell Creek a-79-A/94-P-4 with the Corporation having an interest of 57%. After penetrating and testing the Keg River zone, which proved unsuccessful, attention has shifted to the uphole Muskwa and Evie shale gas zones. The Muskwa formation had elevated gas readings and well logs indicate a pay zone of up to sixty meters.  Based on these results, Kodiak has increased its interest in the property to 80% and will seek approval for a continuation of the lease. Further evaluation work will be undertaken during the next drilling season. Other major industry participants are acquiring large land positions in this part of British Columbia which are prospective for this type of play.

Little Chicago – Northwest Territories

The Corporation is the operator of approximately 200,000 acres under an original Farm-out agreement with the two 50% working interest owners of the 200,000 acre Exploration License 413 (“EL 413”) in the Mackenzie River Valley centered along the planned Mackenzie Valley Pipeline. The Corporation reprocessed 50 km of existing seismic data in Q4 of 2006 and during the 2006-07 winter work season, the Corporation expended approximately $5,500,000 to acquire 2D seismic data on the farm-out Lands, thus earning a 12.5% working interest in the property. In September, 2007, the Corporation acquired Thunder River Energy, Inc.’s (“Thunder”) 43.75% in the property giving the Corporation a 56.25% interest in EL 413. A 2007-08 seismic program is being undertaken on the property with tentative plans for drilling in 2008-09.

United States

New Mexico

Through its acquisition of Thunder, the Corporation has acquired a 100% interest in approximately 55,000 acres of property located in northeast New Mexico. Recent land acquisitions have increased the Corporation’s land position to 57,000 acres and offers tendered to private holders of additional rights, if successful, will further increase the Corporation’s land position by approximately 25%. These lands have potential for natural gas and CO2 and oil and helium resources at shallow depths. The Corporation is currently conducting a seismic program and a 3-4 well drilling program which includes a re-entry of the existing Roxana well at Sofia and drilling test wells on the other Sofia and Spear Draw anticlines. Depending on the success of the seismic and drilling programs and financing, a major development of this project could be commenced later in 2008.

Montana

During 2006, the Corporation, under a joint venture farmout agreement, expended $540,000 on a seismic program and a 2-3 well drilling program to earn a 50% non-operating working interest in the wells and well spacing, as well as the right to participate on a 50% basis going forward on this prospect in the Hill County area of Montana. The Operator of the project has 100,000 contiguous undeveloped acres of P&NG rights in the area, as well as some excess capacity in facilities and pipelines. Two wells were drilled in the third quarter of 2006; one is cased for subsequent evaluation of the multiple zones found and one was abandoned. A third well is licensed and will be drilled depending upon the results of testing on the first well.


ITEM 1A ..   RISK FACTORS

Going Concern Uncertainty

There is uncertainty that the Company will continue as a going concern, which presumes the realization of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company has not generated positive cash flow since inception and has incurred operating losses and will need additional working capital for its future planned activities. The recent financing, described in Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements, will provide sufficient working capital to fund the Company’s operations until mid 2008 when additional financing will be required unless sufficient cash flow is being obtained from the Company’s properties that comprise its near term capital programs. The success of these programs is yet to be determined. These conditions raise doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon obtaining sufficient working capital to finance ongoing operations. The Company’s strategy to address this uncertainty, includes additional equity and debt financing; however, there are no assurances that any such financings can be obtained on favorable terms, if at all. These financial statements do not reflect the adjustments or reclassification of assets and liabilities that would be necessary if the Company were unable to continue its operations.

The Oil & Gas Industry is Highly Competitive

The oil & gas industry is highly competitive. We compete with oil and natural gas companies and other individual producers and operators, many of which have longer operating histories and substantially greater financial and other resources than we do. We compete with companies in other industries supplying energy, fuel and other needs to consumers. Many of these companies not only explore for and produce crude oil and natural gas, but also carry on refining operations and market petroleum and other products on a worldwide basis. Our larger competitors, by reason of their size and relative financial strength, can more easily access capital markets than we can and may enjoy a competitive advantage in the recruitment of qualified personnel. They may be able to absorb the burden of any changes in laws and regulation in the jurisdictions in which we do business and handle longer periods of reduced prices of gas and oil more easily than we can. Our competitors may be able to pay more for productive oil and natural gas properties and may be able to define, evaluate, bid for and purchase a greater number of properties and prospects than we can. Our ability to acquire additional properties in the future will depend upon our ability to conduct efficient operations, evaluate and select suitable properties, implement advanced technologies and consummate transactions in a highly competitive environment.

Government and Environmental Regulation

Our business is governed by numerous laws and regulations at various levels of government. These laws and regulations govern the operation and maintenance of our facilities, the discharge of materials into the environment and other environmental protection issues. The laws and regulations may, among other potential consequences, require that we acquire permits before commencing drilling, restrict the substances that can be released into the environment with drilling and production activities, limit or prohibit drilling activities on protected areas such as wetlands or wilderness areas, require that reclamation measures be taken to prevent pollution from former operations, require remedial measures to mitigate pollution from former operations, such as plugging abandoned wells and remediation of contaminated soil and groundwater, and require remedial measures to be taken with respect to property designated as a contaminated site.

 
4

 
 
Under these laws and regulations, we could be liable for personal injury, clean-up costs and other environmental and property damages, as well as administrative, civil and criminal penalties. We maintain limited insurance coverage for sudden and accidental environmental damages as well as environmental damage that occurs over time. However, we do not believe that insurance coverage for the full potential liability of environmental damages is available at a reasonable cost. Accordingly, we could be liable, or could be required to cease production on properties, if environmental damage occurs.

The costs of complying with environmental laws and regulations in the future may harm our business. Furthermore, future changes in environmental laws and regulations could occur that may result in stricter standards and enforcement, larger fines and liability, and increased capital expenditures and operating costs, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

The Successful Implementation of Our Business Plan is Subject to Risks Inherent in The Oil & Gas Business

Our oil and gas operations are subject to the economic risks typically associated with exploration, development and production activities, including the necessity of significant expenditures to locate and acquire properties and to drill exploratory wells. In addition, the cost and timing of drilling, completing and operating wells is often uncertain. In conducting exploration and development activities, the presence of unanticipated pressure or irregularities in formations, miscalculations or accidents may cause our exploration, development and production activities to be unsuccessful. This could result in a total loss of our investment in a particular property. If exploration efforts are unsuccessful in establishing proved reserves and exploration activities cease, the amounts accumulated as unproved costs will be charged against earnings as impairments.

We Expect Our Operating Expenses to Increase Substantially in The Future and May Need to Raise Additional Funds 

We have a history of net losses and expect that our operating expenses will continue to increase over the next 12 months as we continue to implement our business plan. In addition, we may experience a material decrease in liquidity due to unforeseen expenses or other events and uncertainties. As a result, we may need to raise additional funds, and such funds may not be available on favourable terms, if at all. If we cannot raise funds on acceptable terms, we may not be able to execute on our business plan, take advantage of future opportunities or respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated requirements. This may seriously harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We are An Exploration Stage Company Implementing a New Business Plan

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, and we have just begun to implement our business plan. Since our inception, we have suffered recurring losses from operations and have been dependent on new investment to sustain our operations. During the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, we reported losses of $2,775,663, 2,867,374 and 1,133,790 respectively. In addition, our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 contained a going concern qualification and we cannot give any assurances that we can achieve profits from operations.

Our Ability to Produce Sufficient Quantities of Oil & Gas from Our Properties May Be Adversely Affected by a Number of Factors Outside of Our Control

The business of exploring for and producing oil and gas involves a substantial risk of investment loss. Drilling oil wells involves the risk that the wells may be unproductive or that, although productive, that the wells may not produce oil or gas in economic quantities. Other hazards, such as unusual or unexpected geological formations, pressures, fires, blowouts, loss of circulation of drilling fluids or other conditions may substantially delay or prevent completion of any well. Adverse weather conditions can also hinder drilling operations. A productive well may become uneconomic due to pressure depletion, water encroachment, mechanical difficulties, etc, which impair or prevent the production of oil and/or gas from the well.

There can be no assurance that oil and gas will be produced from the properties in which we have interests. In addition, the marketability of any oil and gas that we acquire or discover may be influenced by numerous factors beyond our control. These factors include the proximity and capacity of oil and gas pipelines and processing equipment, market fluctuations of prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, allowable production and environmental protection. We cannot predict how these factors may affect our business.

In addition, the success of our business is dependent upon the efforts of various third parties that we do not control. We rely upon various companies to assist us in identifying desirable oil and gas prospects to acquire and to provide us with technical assistance and services. We also rely upon the services of geologists, geophysicists, chemists, engineers and other scientists to explore and analyze oil prospects to determine a method in which the oil prospects may be developed in a cost-effective manner. In addition, we rely upon the owners and operators of oil drilling equipment to drill and develop our prospects to production. Although we have developed relationships with a number of third-party service providers, we cannot assure that we will be able to continue to rely on such persons. If any of these relationships with third-party service providers are terminated or are unavailable on commercially acceptable terms, we may not be able to execute our business plan.

Market Fluctuations in the Prices of Oil & Gas Could Adversely Affect Our Business

Prices for oil and natural gas tend to fluctuate significantly in response to factors beyond our control. These factors include, but are not limited to actions of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and its maintenance of production constraints, the U.S. economic environment, weather conditions, the availability of alternate fuel sources, transportation interruption, the impact of drilling levels on crude oil and natural gas supply, and the environmental and access issues that could limit future drilling activities for the industry.

Changes in commodity prices may significantly affect our capital resources, liquidity and expected operating results. Price changes directly affect revenues and can indirectly impact expected production by changing the amount of funds available to reinvest in exploration and development activities. Reductions in oil and gas prices not only reduce revenues and profits, but could also reduce the quantities of reserves that are commercially recoverable. Significant declines in prices could result in charges to earnings due to impairment.

Changes in commodity prices may also significantly affect our ability to estimate the value of producing properties for acquisition and divestiture and often cause disruption in the market for oil producing properties, as buyers and sellers have difficulty agreeing on the value of the properties. Price volatility also makes it difficult to budget for and project the return on acquisitions and development and exploitation of projects. We expect that commodity prices will continue to fluctuate significantly in the future.

Risks of Penny Stock Investing

The Company's common stock is considered to be a "penny stock" because it meets one or more of the definitions in the Exchange Act Rule 3a51-1, a Rule made effective on July 15, 1992. These include but are not limited to the following:(i) the stock trades at a price less than five dollars ($5.00) per share; (ii) it is NOT traded on a "recognized" national exchange; (iii) it is NOT quoted on the NASD's automated quotation system (NASDAQ), or even if so, has a price less than five dollars ($5.00) per share; OR (iv) is issued by a company with net tangible assets less than $2,000,000, if in business more than three years continuously, or $5,000,000, if in business less than a continuous three years, or with average revenues of less than $6,000,000 for the past three years. The principal result or effect of being designated a "penny stock" is that securities broker-dealers cannot recommend the stock but must trade in it on an unsolicited basis.

Risks Related to Broker-Dealer Requirements Involving Penny Stocks / Risks Affecting Trading and Liquidity

Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 15g-2 promulgated there under by the Commission require broker-dealers dealing in penny stocks to provide potential investors with a document disclosing the risks of penny stocks and to obtain a manually signed and dated written receipt of the document before effecting any transaction in a penny stock for the investor's account. These rules may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market, if and when one develops.

Potential investors in the Company's common stock are urged to obtain and read such disclosure carefully before purchasing any shares that are deemed to be "penny stock." Moreover, Commission Rule 15g-9 requires broker-dealers in penny stocks to approve the account of any investor for transactions in such stocks before selling any penny stock to that investor. This procedure requires the broker-dealer to (i) obtain from the investor information concerning his or her financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives; (ii) reasonably determine, based on that information, that transactions in penny stocks are suitable for the investor and that the investor has sufficient knowledge and experience as to be reasonably capable of evaluating the risks of penny stock transactions; (iii) provide the investor with a written statement setting forth the basis on which the broker-dealer made the determination in (ii) above; and (iv) receive a signed and dated copy of such statement from the investor, confirming that it accurately reflects the investor's financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives. Pursuant to the Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990, broker-dealers are further obligated to provide customers with monthly account statements. Compliance with the foregoing requirements may make it more difficult for investors in the Company's stock to resell their shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of them in the market or otherwise.


ITEM 1B.  UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

On November 13, 2007, the Company filed with the Commission an SB-2 registration statement pertaining to the common shares of the Company issued in connection with the private placement financings in September, October and November, 2007 and the September, 2007 Thunder property acquisition. The Commission responded to the Company with certain comments and questions regarding the SB-2 registration statement and other comments and questions relating to the Company’s December 31, 2006 Annual Form 10-KSB and Quarterly Forms 10-QSB for the periods ended March 31, 2007 and June 30, 2007. Since that time and in an effort to resolve all outstanding comments, the Company and Commission have exchanged additional correspondence. During the process, the Company has withdrawn its SB-2 registration statement and the Commission has had additional comments and questions relating to the Company’s September 30, 2007 Quarterly Report 10-QSB, December 31, 2007 Annual Report 10-K and its Quarterly Forms 10-Q for March 31, June 30 and September 30, 2008. The Company believes that with the restatements reflected in this Form 10-K report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, amended Form 10-Q SB report for the period ended September 30, 2007 and the filing of the Form 10-K report for the year ended December 31, 2008, it has resolved all of the staff comments except one matter relating to certain 2006 shares issued for services.
 
In addition to the above correspondence, the Company has received a letter dated March 23, 2009 from the Commission with certain comments and questions relating to the Company’s March 17, 2009 Form 8-K. The Company is in process of drafting responses to the Commission’s letters of March 13 and 23.
 
At this time, the Company cannot determine if there are any additional comments or if the outstanding comments will be resolved.

Oil and Gas Properties

The Corporation currently has four properties in Canada and two in the United States comprising undeveloped land holdings on which it is carrying out exploration activities. A description of each property and its current activities follows :

Canada

Manyberries – Southeast Alberta

In 2006, the Corporation farmed into these lands which comprised nine sections (5,760 acres) of contiguous, undeveloped Petroleum and Natural Gas (P&NG”) rights in southeast Alberta. The Corporation drilled two wells and recompleted one other well in March of 2006 on this property, which earned the Corporation a 66 2/3% interest in the lands. After further evaluation during 2007, the Corporation allowed the leases to expire and relinquished its interest in the project.

Province/Granlea – Southeast Alberta

The Corporation purchased a 50% working interest in two sections (1280 acres gross -640 net) of P&NG rights at a provincial land sale on September 22, 2005. In 2005, a 2D seismic program was completed on the property and in 2006, a well was drilled and completed; surface facilities were installed and a pipeline tie-in was completed. Production commenced in September, 2006. The well produced for a short period until excess water rates occurred and in October, 2006 the well was shut in. After the well bore was evaluated as having no current economic production potential, the well was abandoned. The Corporation intends to sell the surface facilities and consider additional internal geological reviews of the prospect to determine if any further drilling is warranted.

Fort McMurray – Northern Alberta

The Corporation, jointly with two partners, acquired two blocks of P&NG licenses over sixty-four sections of land near Fort McMurray in northeastern Alberta. The licenses are for all P&NG Rights from the base of the Woodbend formation to fifteen meters into the top of the Precambrian subject to a 2.5% gross overriding royalty reserved for the Seller in the subject lands. The Corporation had an initial 50 % working interest, but in 2007 increased it to 100% by acquiring the other partners’ interests. A farmout to have a seismic and drilling program carried out for 2008 may be considered or the Corporation may dispose of its interest.

Lucy – Northern British Columbia

The Corporation initially had a 10% working interest in the Lucy/Highwood lands (BC P&NG Lease #44104) consisting of approximately three square miles (799 hectares) located in the North Yoyo Otter Park shale basin in northeastern Britsh Columbia. A well was drilled in December 2006. After some difficult drilling conditions, the lower zones in this well were abandoned.

The Corporation recently initiated an independent operations drilling program on the Lucy prospect and operated the drilling of Kodiak et al Gunnell Creek a-79-A/94-P-4 with the Corporation having an interest of 57%. After penetrating and testing the Keg River zone, which proved unsuccessful, attention has shifted to the uphole Muskwa and Evie shale gas zones. The Muskwa formation had elevated gas readings and well logs indicate a pay zone of up to sixty meters.  Based on these results, Kodiak has increased its interest in the property to 80% and will seek approval for a continuation of the lease. Further evaluation work will be undertaken during the next drilling season. Other major industry participants are acquiring large land positions in this part of British Columbia which are prospective for this type of play.
 
Little Chicago – Northwest Territories
 
The Corporation is the operator of approximately 200,000 acres under an original Farm-out agreement with the two 50% working interest owners of the 200,000 acre Exploration License 413 (“EL 413”) in the Mackenzie River Valley centered along the planned Mackenzie Valley Pipeline. The Corporation reprocessed 50 km of existing seismic data in Q4 of 2006 and during the 2006-07 winter work season, the Corporation expended approximately $5,500,000 to acquire 2D seismic data on the farm-out Lands, thus earning a 12.5% working interest in the property. In September, 2007, the Corporation acquired Thunder River Energy, Inc.’s (“Thunder”) 43.75% in the property giving the Corporation a 55.75% interest in EL 413. A 2007-08 seismic program is being undertaken on the property with tentative plans for drilling in 2008-09.

United States

New Mexico

Through its acquisition of Thunder, the Corporation has acquired a 100% interest in 55,000 acres of property located in northeast New Mexico. Additional land acquisitions have increased the Corporation’s land position to 57,000 acres and offers tendered to private holders of additional rights, if successful, will further increase the Corporation’s land position by approximately 25%. These lands have potential for natural gas and CO2 and oil and helium resources at shallow depths. The Corporation is currently conducting a seismic program and a 3-4 well drilling program which includes a re-entry of the existing Roxana well at Sofia and drilling test wells on the other Sofia and Spear Draw anticlines. Depending on the success of the seismic and drilling programs and financing, a major development of this project could be commenced later in 2008.

Montana

During 2006, the Corporation, under a joint venture farmout agreement, expended $540,000 on a seismic program and a 2-3 well drilling program to earn a 50% non-operating working interest in the wells and well spacing, as well as the right to participate on a 50% basis going forward on this prospect in the Hill County area of Montana. The Operator of the project has 100,000 contiguous undeveloped acres of P&NG rights in the area, as well as some excess capacity in facilities and pipelines. Two wells were drilled in the third quarter of 2006; one is cased for subsequent evaluation of the multiple zones found and one was abandoned. A third well is licensed and will be drilled depending upon the results of testing on the first well.

A developed acre is considered to mean those acres spaced or assignable to productive wells, a gross acre is an acre in which a working interest is owned, and a net acre is the result that is obtained when fractional ownership working interest is multiplied by gross acres. The number of net acres is the sum of the factional working interests owned in gross acres expressed as whole numbers and fractions thereof.

Undeveloped acreage is considered to be those lease acres on which wells have not been drilled or completed to a point that would permit the production of commercial quantities of oil or natural gas, regardless of whether or not that acreage contains proved reserves, but does not include undrilled acreage held by production under the terms of a lease. As is customary in the oil and gas industry, we can generally retain our interest in undeveloped acreage by drilling activity that establishes commercial production sufficient to maintain the leases or by paying delay rentals during the remaining primary term of such a lease. The oil and natural gas leases in which we have an interest are for varying primary terms, and if production continues from our developed lease acreage beyond the primary term, we are entitled to hold the lease for as long as oil or natural gas is produced.

Employees

Up to December 31, 2007, the Company utilized full-time and/or part-time consultants as its personnel to conduct its business and carry out its business plan and as at that date, four full-time and eight part-time consultants were engaged by the Company. As at January 1, 2008, three of the Company’s full-time consultants were hired as full-time employees.

ITEM 7.     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

Forward Looking Statements

From time to time, we or our representatives have made or may make forward-looking statements, orally or in writing. Such forward-looking statements may be included in, but not limited to, press releases, oral statements made with the approval of an authorized executive officer or in various filings made by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Words or phrases "will likely result", "are expected to", "will continue", "is anticipated", "estimate", "project or projected", or similar expressions are intended to identify "forward-looking statements". Such statements are qualified in their entirety by reference to and are accompanied by the above discussion of certain important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from such forward-looking statements.

Management is currently unaware of any trends or conditions other than those previously mentioned in this management's discussion and analysis that could have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, future results of operations, or liquidity. However, investors should also be aware of factors that could have a negative impact on the Company's prospects and the consistency of progress in the areas of revenue generation, liquidity, and generation of capital resources. These include: (i) variations in revenue, (ii) possible inability to attract investors for its equity securities or otherwise raise adequate funds from any source should the Company seek to do so, (iii) increased governmental regulation, (iv) increased competition, (v) unfavorable outcomes to litigation involving the Company or to which the Company may become a party in the future and, (vi) a very competitive and rapidly changing operating environment. The risks identified here are not all inclusive. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all of such risk factors, nor can it assess the impact of all such risk factors on the Company's business or the extent to which any factor or combination of factors may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Accordingly, forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as a prediction of actual results.

Restatement

In March, 2009, we determined that it was necessary to restate our financial statements as at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2007. The purpose of the restatements is to correct an error in measurement and an error in the application of US GAAP in the course of recording certain September, 2007 transactions as described in Note 2. Certain amounts and comments in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis have been restated and/or updated to reflect the impact of the restatement adjustments. For a full discussion of current operations relating to our properties, please see our current Annual Form 10-K for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2008.

The financial information set forth in the following discussion should be read with the financial statements of Kodiak Energy, Inc. included elsewhere herein.
 
Plan of Operation

The Corporation is a petroleum and natural gas exploration stage company whose primary objective is to identify, acquire and develop working interests in underdeveloped petroleum and natural gas prospects. We are focused on prospects located in Canada and the United States. The prospects we hold are generally under leases and include partial and full working interests. In some instances, Kodiak is the operator and in others it is obligated to perform certain seismic and exploratory well drilling for its interests. In some instances, additional seismic and drilling activity will result in additional working interests or is required to maintain the current percentage interests. The prospects are subject to varying royalties due to the state, province or federal governments and, in some instances, to
the other royalty owners in the prospect.

The Corporation plans to engage in seismic data collection and well drilling programs on a number of prospects in which it has an interest or right to acquire percentage interests over the next two years. Drilling programs will be conducted where the seismic data supports the effort and expense and further drilling will be based on the results of initially drilled wells. A number of the prospects are located in the vicinity of petroleum and natural gas infrastructure, most importantly the ability to tie-in to existing or planned pipelines. This will be important in lowering the overall cost of development and selling any natural resources located in a prospect.

The Corporation currently has no petroleum or natural gas reserves or production.

The Corporation has carried out the following activities during the period from 2005 until December 31, 2007, and during the next twelve months, the Corporation plans to aggressively pursue the development of its asset base.

Canada

Manyberries – Southeast Alberta

In 2006, the Corporation farmed into these lands which comprised nine sections (5,760 acres) of contiguous, undeveloped Petroleum and Natural Gas (P&NG”) rights in southeast Alberta. The Corporation drilled two wells and recompleted one other well in March of 2006 on this property, which earned the Corporation a 66 2/3% interest in the lands. After further evaluation during 2007, the Corporation allowed the leases to expire and relinquished its interest in the project.

Province/Granlea – Southeast Alberta

The Corporation purchased a 50% working interest in two sections (1280 acres gross -640 net) of P&NG rights at a provincial land sale on September 22, 2005. In 2005, a 2D seismic program was completed on the property and in 2006, a well was drilled and completed; surface facilities were installed and a pipeline tie-in was completed. Production commenced in September, 2006. The well produced for a short period until excess water rates occurred and in October, 2006 the well was shut in. After the well bore was evaluated as having no current economic production potential, the well was abandoned. The Corporation intends to sell the surface facilities and consider additional internal geological reviews of the prospect to determine if any further drilling is warranted.

Fort McMurray – Northern Alberta

The Corporation, jointly with two partners, acquired two blocks of P&NG licenses over sixty-four sections of land near Fort McMurray in northeastern Alberta. The licenses are for all P&NG Rights from the base of the Woodbend formation to fifteen meters into the top of the Precambrian subject to a 2.5% gross overriding royalty reserved for the Seller in the subject lands. The Corporation had an initial 50 % working interest, but in 2007 increased it to 100% by acquiring the other partners’ interests. A farmout to have a seismic and drilling program carried out for 2008 may be considered or the Corporation may dispose of its interest.

 
11

 

Lucy – Northern British Columbia

The Corporation initially had a 10% working interest in the Lucy/Highwood lands (BC P&NG Lease #44104) consisting of approximately three square miles (799 hectares) located in the North Yoyo Otter Park shale basin in northeastern Britsh Columbia. A well was drilled in December 2006. After some difficult drilling conditions, the lower zones in this well were abandoned.

The Corporation recently initiated an independent operations drilling program on the Lucy prospect and operated the drilling of Kodiak et al Gunnell Creek a-79-A/94-P-4 with the Corporation having an interest of 57%. After penetrating and testing the Keg River zone, which proved unsuccessful, attention has shifted to the uphole Muskwa and Evie shale gas zones. The Muskwa formation had elevated gas readings and well logs indicate a pay zone of up to sixty meters.  Based on these results, Kodiak has increased its interest in the property to 80% and will seek approval for a continuation of the lease. Further evaluation work will be undertaken during the next drilling season. Other major industry participants are acquiring large land positions in this part of British Columbia which are prospective for this type of play.

Little Chicago – Northwest Territories

The Corporation is the operator of approximately 200,000 acres under an original Farm-out agreement with the two 50% working interest owners of the 200,000 acre Exploration License 413 (“EL 413”) in the Mackenzie River Valley centered along the planned Mackenzie Valley Pipeline. The Corporation reprocessed 50 km of existing seismic data in Q4 of 2006 and during the 2006-07 winter work season, the Corporation expended approximately $5,500,000 to acquire 2D seismic data on the farm-out Lands, thus earning a 12.5% working interest in the property. In September, 2007, the Corporation acquired Thunder River Energy, Inc.’s (“Thunder”) 43.75% in the property giving the Corporation a 55.75% interest in EL 413. A 2007-08 seismic program is being undertaken on the property with tentative plans for drilling in 2008-09.
 
United States

New Mexico

Through its acquisition of Thunder, the Corporation has acquired a 100% interest in 55,000 acres of property located in northeast New Mexico. Additional land acquisitions have increased the Corporation’s land position to 57,000 acres and offers tendered to private holders of additional rights, if successful, will further increase the Corporation’s land position by approximately 25%. These lands have potential for natural gas and CO2 and oil and helium resources at shallow depths. The Corporation is currently conducting a seismic program and a 3-4 well drilling program which includes a re-entry of the existing Roxana well at Sofia and drilling test wells on the other Sofia and Spear Draw anticlines. Depending on the success of the seismic and drilling programs and financing, a major development of this project could be commenced later in 2008.

Montana

During 2006, the Corporation, under a joint venture farmout agreement, expended $540,000 on a seismic program and a 2-3 well drilling program to earn a 50% non-operating working interest in the wells and well spacing, as well as the right to participate on a 50% basis going forward on this prospect in the Hill County area of Montana. The Operator of the project has 100,000 contiguous undeveloped acres of P&NG rights in the area, as well as some excess capacity in facilities and pipelines. Two wells were drilled in the third quarter of 2006; one is cased for subsequent evaluation of the multiple zones found and one was abandoned. A third well is licensed and will be drilled depending upon the results of testing on the first well.

Financial Condition and Changes in Financial Condition

As a result of the brokered private placement financings and the property acquisitions completed in late 2007, the Corporation’s balance sheet was significantly strengthened. With its strong working capital position, the Corporation is now well positioned to initiate its 2008 capital expenditure programs.

The Corporation’s total assets have increased to $38,190,768 as at December 31, 2007 from $2,707,075 at the end of 2006 and $556,330 at the end of 2005. These increases resulted from the increased capital expenditure programs under taken by the Corporation in 2007 and 2006, as well as the acquisition described under “Property Acquisition” and the financings described under “Liquidity and Capital Resources”. Total assets consist of cash and other current assets of $10,288,410 (December 31, 2006 - $1,331,159); oil and gas properties and equipment of $27,543,005 (December 31, 2006 - $1,326,056); and other assets of $359,353 (December 31, 2006 - $49,860). Our total current liabilities were $3,281,390 (December 31, 2006 - $859,103) and consisted of accounts payable and accrued liabilities relating to capital activities and general and administrative costs incurred and a Flow-through Share Premium Liability relating to Canadian flow-through shares issued during the year. We had long term liabilities of $110,955 (December 31, 2006 - $ Nil) and asset retirement obligations of $110,955 (December 31, 2006 - $90,911) Shareholders’ equity amounted to $34,646,609 (December 31, 2006 - $1,757,061), net of an accumulated deficit of $6,635,439 (2006 - $4,063,776).

Overall Operating Results (All dollar values are expressed in United States dollars unless otherwise stated):

In 2007, the Company had income during the evaluation period of $225 (2006 - $27,134; 2005 - $ Nil) and operating costs of $20,543 (2006 - $13,572; 2005 - $ Nil) relating to production from its Granlea, Alberta project. The well watered out and was deemed uneconomic. Other than that production, the Company remains in the exploratory and development stage.

Net Loss for the year ended December 31, 2007 totalled $2,571,663 (2006 - $2,867,374; 2005 - $1,133,790) These losses include general and administrative expenses of $2,470,230 (2006 - $1,377,489; 2005 - $323,744) which includes stock-based compensation expense amounting to $643,934 (2006 - $69,169; 2005 $ Nil); interest expense of $94,083 (2006 - $Nil; 2005 - $808,811) and depletion, depreciation and accretion including ceiling test impairment write-downs of $ 218,841 (2006 - $1507,021; 2005 - $1,235).

General and administrative expenses include the cost of consulting personnel and others who provided investor relations services, public company costs for SEC reporting compliance, accounting, audit and legal fees and other general and administrative office expenses. General and administrative expense also includes stock-based compensation relating to the cost of stock options granted to directors, officers and other personnel of $643,934 in 2007 (2006 - $69,169; 2005 - $ Nil).  General and administrative costs have been increasing as the scope of the company’s activities have increased and we believe substantial amounts will continue to be spent on such costs in the near term as we progress with the  evaluation of our oil and gas prospects. A tenfold increase in our shareholder base from 1,000 to approximately 10,000 shareholders during the past year has also contributed to our increased general and administrative costs.

Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $94,083 (2006 - $ Nil; 2005 - $808,811). Most of the 2007 interest expense was incurred relative to the 9-1/2% Notes Payable that were outstanding during the second and third quarters. The 2005 interest arose from the beneficial conversion feature on convertible debt of $41,189 representing the difference between the conversion price and the fair value of the common stock at the commitment date.

Depletion, depreciation and accretion including ceiling test impairment write-downs includes the cost of depletion and depreciation relating to production from producing properties in 2006, ceiling test impairment write-downs for 2007 and 2006 and the cost of depreciation relating to office furniture and equipment in 2007, 2006 and 2005. At December 31, 2007 and 2006, the carrying values of the Company’s unproved properties in its Canadian and United States cost centers were assessed by management and costs attributable to certain Canadian cost center properties were determined to be unsupportable. As a result, ceiling test write-downs of $174,380 for 2007 and $1,419,946 for 2006 relating to the Company’s Canadian cost center were recorded and included in this expense. The remaining capitalized costs relating to Canadian and United States unproven properties have been excluded from the depletable cost pools for ceiling test purposes.

Land acquisition and carrying costs includes $11,163,205 relative to the acquisition of Thunder’s interest in the EL 413 Little Chicago property in the Northwest Territories of Canada and $7,400,000 relative to the acquisition of Thunder’s New Mexico interests. See “Property Acquisition”. Geological and geophysical costs include the 2007 portion of the cost of the 2006-07 Seismic program carried out on the EL 413 Little Chicago project.

Property Acquisition:

On September 28, 2007 the Corporation purchased from Thunder and CIMA under the terms of the Thunder Agreement, 100% of Thunder’s interest in EL 413 and 100% of CIMA’s interest in the Sophia Prospect in consideration for $1 million cash and 7 million Kodiak Shares valued at $14,000,000 ($2.00 per Kodiak Share) and a commitment to issue in the future an additional 11,000,000 Kodiak Shares upon the achievement of certain milestones in connection with the acquired properties. All acquired properties are unproved. For accounting purposes, the 7 million common shares issued to Thunder were recorded at a value of $17,500,000 or $2.50 per common share, being the same price per share at which the September 28, 2007 private placement financing of 2,756,000 non-flow-through common shares were issued. (See Note 12). Of the cash consideration, $100,000 was paid as a deposit on July 11, 2007, and the balance of $900,000 was paid at closing on September 28, 2007. Of the common share consideration, 7 million shares were issued to Thunder at closing on September 28, 2007. An additional 6 million shares will be issued to Thunder if, as, and when certain performance milestones are achieved, including 2 million shares upon completion of a 2007/08 seismic program by June 30, 2008; 1 million shares upon the spudding of a shallow depth well (1,500 meters TD) by March 31, 2009; 1.5 million shares upon the spudding of a medium depth well (2,500 meters TD) before lease expiry in 2009; and 1.5 million shares upon conversion of any part of EL 413 to a Significant Discovery Lease. If, as a result of the Corporation’s exploration and development activities on the acquired properties, reserves in place exceed 100 million barrels, then, for each excess 10 million barrels in place, 100,000 additional shares could be issued, up to a maximum of 5 million additional shares.

Liquidity and Capital Resources:

Since inception to December 31, 2007, the company’s operations have been financed from the sale of securities and loans from shareholders. Working capital at December 31, 2007 amounted to $7,007,020 (2006 - $472,056).

During the second and third quarters of 2007, the Corporation obtained $3,300,000 in unsecured 9½% notes payable from a European lender. On September 28, 2007, the lender was repaid $2,567,500 by way of 1,027,000 Kodiak Shares issued as part of the financing described in Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. On October 1, 2007, the balance was repaid in full in cash with accrued interest. The September, October and November 2007 brokered private placement financings of $17,145,010 gross proceeds ($15,645,000 net of share issue costs) will provide sufficient funds to allow the Corporation to carry on operations into mid 2008. Additional financing may then be required.

During 2007, the Corporation raised $33,303,427 (2006 - $4,467,688), net of share issue costs, in private placement financing proceeds. These financings together with the proceeds of the notes payable have enabled the Corporation to finance its on-going capital expenditures and general and administrative expenses. The Corporation currently has no long term debt obligations. The Corporation is in the process of securing agreements with contractors who will provide services in the ordinary course of business in connection with the Corporation’s planned capital expenditure programs for 2008.

The Corporation currently has the capital resources to implement and carry out a substantial portion of its 2008 capital programs. However, we expect to raise additional capital, either through debt, equity or a combination thereof to finance the balance of our 2008 program. In addition, we may require funds for additional acquisitions. In the event that additional capital is raised at some time in the future, existing shareholders will experience dilution of their interest in the Corporation.

 
14

 

There is uncertainty that the Company will continue as a going concern, which presumes the realization of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company has not generated positive cash flow since inception and has incurred operating losses and will need additional working capital for its future planned activities. The recent financing, described in Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements, will provide sufficient working capital to fund the Company’s operations until mid 2008 when additional financing will be required unless sufficient cash flow is being obtained from the Company’s properties that comprise its near term capital programs. The success of these programs is yet to be determined. These conditions raise doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon obtaining sufficient working capital to finance ongoing operations. The Company’s strategy to address this uncertainty, includes additional equity and debt financing; however, there are no assurances that any such financings can be obtained on favorable terms, if at all. These financial statements do not reflect the adjustments or reclassification of assets and liabilities that would be necessary if the Company were unable to continue its operations.

ITEM 7A.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company is exposed to market risk from changes petroleum and natural gas and related hydrocarbon prices, foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates.

Petroleum and Natural gas and Related Hydrocarbon Prices

The Corporation currently has no petroleum and natural gas and related hydrocarbon reserves or production so the Corporation therefore has no current exposure related to the instability of prices of such commodities. However; the prices of these commodities are unstable and are subject to fluctuation, due to factors outside of the Corporation’s control, including war, weather, the availability of alternate fuel and transportation interruption and any material decline in these commodity prices could have an adverse impact on the economic viability of the Corporation’s exploration projects.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rates

The Corporation, operating in both the United States and Canada, faces exposure to adverse movements in foreign currency exchange rates. These exposures may change over time as business practices evolve and could materially impact the Corporation’s financial results in the future. To the extent revenues and expenditures denominated in other currencies vary from their U. S. dollar equivalents, the Corporation is exposed to exchange rate risk. The Corporation can also be exposed to the extent revenues in one currency do not equal expenditures in the same currency. The Corporation is not currently using exchange rate derivatives to manage exchange rate risks.

Interest Rates

The Corporation’s interest income and interest expense, in part, is sensitive to the general level of interest rates in North America. The Corporation is not currently using interest rate derivatives to manage interest rate risks.

ITEM 8.     FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
OPINION ON THE AUDIT OVER INTERNAL CONTROLS
 
 
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
 
 
Kodiak Energy Inc.:
 
We have audited Kodiak Energy Inc’s. (Kodiak)   internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).  Kodiak’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting (Item 9Ac). Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the company’s internal control over financial reporting 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 effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.  Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit includes performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s 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 generally accepted accounting principles.  A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

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.

A material weakness is a deficiency or a combination of deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

 
16

 
 
The following deficiencies which we believe to be material weaknesses have been identified and included in management’s assessment:
 
 
·
Kodiak was not adequately staffed with accounting personnel possessing an adequate level of technical expertise and did not maintain effective segregation of duties over automated and manual transactions leading to ineffective monitoring, supervision and reviews. This material weakness affects all significant accounts.

 
·
Kodiak did not maintain effective policies and procedures regarding access controls for critical financial systems. The lack of segregation impacted the financial reporting process, including limited evidence of review of reconciliations and account analysis by individuals with appropriate levels of experience. This deficiency results in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company's annual or interim consolidated financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Specific issues noted as a result of the deficiencies mentioned above are as follows:

 
·
Kodiak did not maintain effective policies and procedures, or personnel with sufficient technical expertise, to ensure proper accounting and disclosure for its oil and gas properties. Specifically, the Company's policies and procedures did not provide for appropriate segregation of duties or supervisory review of depletion, depreciation and accretion, general and administrative expenses capitalization and capital acquisitions to ensure that they were properly reflected and disclosed in the Company's financial statements. As a result, misstatements were identified in the petroleum and natural gas properties account in Kodiak's 2007 consolidated financial statements. This deficiency results in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company's annual or interim consolidated financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

 
·
Kodiak did not maintain effective policies and procedures, or personnel with sufficient technical expertise, to ensure proper accounting and disclosure for income taxes. Specifically, the Company's policies and procedures did not provide for appropriate segregation of duties or supervisory review of deferred taxes to ensure that they were properly reflected and disclosed in the Company's financial statements. This deficiency results in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company's annual or interim consolidated financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

These material weaknesses were considered in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the 2007 financial statements, and this report does not affect our report dated February 27, 2008 on those financial statements.

In our opinion, because of the effect of the material weaknesses described above on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, Kodiak has not maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

 
17

 

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations, stockholder’s equity and cash flows of Kodiak and our report dated February 27, 2008 expressed an unqualified opinion modified for going concern uncertainties.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
OPINION ON THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

To the Board of Directors and the Stockholders of
Kodiak Energy, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Kodiak Energy, Inc. (The “Company and subsidiaries”) as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 and the consolidated statements of operations, stockholder’s equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007.  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 audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluation of the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides 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 the Company and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007 in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

As discussed more fully in Note 2, the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2007 have been restated to reflect changes resulting from a correction of the treatment of flow through shares issued during the year ended December 31, 2007 and a change to the value ascribed to shares issued by the Company for the acquisition of certain petroleum and natural gas assets of Thunder River Energy.

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on obtaining sufficient working capital to fund future operations.  Management’s plan in regard to these matters is also described in Note 1.  These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

KODIAK ENERGY, INC.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Years Ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005
Stated in US dollars

1.   ORGANIZATION, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTY

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Kodiak Energy Inc. and subsidiaries (collectively “Kodiak”, the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”) as at December 31, 2007  and December 31, 2006 and for the cumulative period from April 7, 2004 (inception)until December 31, 2007, and are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U. S. GAAP”).

The Company was incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware on December 15, 1999 under the name “Island Critical Care, Corp.” with authorized common stock of 50,000,000 shares with a par value of $0.001. On December 30, 2004 the name was changed to “Kodiak Energy, Inc.” and the authorized common stock was increased to 100,000,000 shares with the same par value. On January 17, 2005 the Company affected a reverse split of 100 outstanding shares for one share. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared showing post split shares from inception. The Company was engaged in the development of the manufacture and distribution of medical instrumentation and it became inactive after the bankruptcy outlined below. During 2006, the Company increased its authorized capital to 300,000,000 common shares.

The Company is in the exploration stage and its efforts have been principally devoted to the raising of capital, organizational infrastructure development and the acquisition of oil and gas properties for the purpose of future extraction of resources.

Bankruptcy

On February 5, 2003 the Company filed a petition for bankruptcy in the District of Prince Edward Island, Division No. 01-Prince Edward Island Court No. 1713, Estate No. 51-104460, titled “Island Critical Care Corp.”. The Company emerged from bankruptcy pursuant to a Bankruptcy Court Order entered on April 7, 2004 with no remaining assets or liabilities and adopted Fresh Start Accounting.

The terms of the bankruptcy settlement included the authorization for the issuance of 150,000 post split restricted common shares in exchange for $25,000, which was paid into the bankruptcy court by the recipient of the shares.

The Company emerged from bankruptcy as an exploration stage company.

Going Concern Uncertainty

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which presumes the realization of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company has not generated positive cash flow since inception and has incurred operating losses and will need additional working capital for its future planned activities. The recent financing described in Note 12 will provide sufficient working capital to fund the Company’s operations until mid 2008 when additional financing will be required unless sufficient cash flow is being obtained from the Company’s properties that comprise its near term capital programs. The success of these programs is yet to be determined. These conditions raise doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon obtaining sufficient working capital to finance ongoing operations. The Company’s strategy to address this uncertainty, includes additional equity and debt financing; however, there are no assurances that any such financings can be obtained on favorable terms, if at all. These financial statements do not reflect the adjustments or reclassification of assets and liabilities that would be necessary if the Company were unable to continue its operations.

2.   RESTATEMENTS

2007 Restatement

In March, 2009, we determined that it was necessary to restate our financial statements as at December 31, 2007. The purpose of the restatements is to correct an error in measurement and an error in the application of US GAAP in the course of recording the following 2007 transactions:
 
Issue of common shares of the Company in consideration for the acquisition of properties.
 
On September 28, 2007, the Company issued to Thunder River Energy, Inc. (“Thunder”) 7,000,000 common shares of the Company as partial consideration for the acquisition of certain unproved properties. The shares issued were recorded at a price per share of US$2.00 or $14,000,000 which was the negotiated valuation. In the course of a review by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) of the Company’s Form 10-Q for the Fiscal Quarter Ended September 30, 2007 and Form 10-K for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2007, the SEC questioned the measurement date and consequently the $2.00 per share value at which the transaction was recorded. Following an exchange of correspondence and discussions between the Company and the SEC during 2008 and 2009 regarding this issue, the Company has determined that the acquisition should have been recorded at a value per share of $2.50 or $17,500,000, which represents the fair value of exactly comparable common shares issued at the same $2.50 price per share as a private placement financing for 2,756,000 common shares which closed on September 28, 2007, the same date that the Thunder transaction closed. Management believes that the $2.50 Kodiak share price to be the most reliable measurement for the fair value of the shares issued and that September 28, 2008 to be the appropriate measurement date because that was the date when the parties’ closing conditions were satisfied and Thunder’s (the counterparty’s) performance was complete. The result of the restatement adjustment was an increase of $3,500,000 in the recorded acquisition cost and related issuance of common shares.
 
Issue of flow-through common shares of the Company at a premium.
 
On September 28, 2007, October 3, 2007 and October 30, 2007, the Company issued on a Canadian flow-through share basis 2,251,670 common shares of the Company at US$3.00 per share or $6,755,010, which represented a premium of $.50 per share or $1,125,835 when compared to other non-flow through shares issued. At the time of the transactions, the issues of the flow through common shares were recorded as appropriate credits to par value of common shares and additional paid in capital. Following recent discussions with the Company’s tax consultant, the Company has determined that the $1,125,835 premium on flow-through common shares issued should have, in accordance with US GAAP, been recorded as a liability at the time the shares were issued rather than as additional paid in capital. During the period October 1, 2007 to December 31, 2007, flow-through eligible expenditures amounting to $879,922 were incurred by the Company, resulting in a pro rata $147,000 reduction of the premium liability and a corresponding increase to deferred tax recovery.

Effects of the restatement by line item follow:

2005 Restatement

In November, 2006, it was determined that it was necessary to restate the financial results for the year ended December 31, 2005 and for the periods ended March 31, 2006 and June 30, 2006. The purpose of the restatements is to correct errors found in accounting for transactions resulting from a lack of adequate procedures necessary to insure that records were maintained in reasonable detail to fairly reflect the transactions of the Company in the start up phase of operations. More specifically the errors found are outlined as follows:

Ÿ   Capitalization of items which should have been expensed under the successful efforts method of accounting for oil and gas property
            Ÿ   Not recognizing the beneficial conversion feature of debt payable in common shares of the Company
            Ÿ   Certain expenses paid after year end not being accrued for at period end
            Ÿ   Expensing costs relating to issuance of common shares
            Ÿ   Calculation errors made in the translation of Canadian operations to U.S. dollars

The Company's quarterly reporting in 2005 was not affected as the operations of the Company commenced in the fourth quarter.
 
In addition to the above noted errors, the Company changed its policy of accounting for oil and gas properties. The Company adopted the full cost method of accounting to better reflect its assets on a country-by-country basis and to make the financial presentation of its assets more comparable to its peers in the oil and gas industry.
 
Effects of the restatement by line item follow:

3.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Kodiak Petroleum ULC, Kodiak Petroleum (Montana), Inc., and Kodiak Petroleum (Utah), Inc. In British Columbia, Canada, the Company operates under the assumed name of Kodiak Bear Energy, Inc. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U. S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Although these estimates are based on the knowledge of current events and actions the Company may undertake in the future, they may ultimately differ from actual results. Included in these estimates are assumptions about allowances for valuation of deferred tax assets. Accounts receivable are stated after evaluation as to their collectability and an appropriate allowance for doubtful accounts is provided where considered necessary. The provision for asset retirement obligation, depletion, as well as management’s impairment assessment on its oil and gas properties and other long lived assets are based on estimates and by their nature, these estimates are subject to measurement uncertainty and the effect on the financial statements of changes in these estimates, in future periods, could be significant. These estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically and, as adjustments become necessary, they are reported in earnings in the periods in which they become known.

Joint Venture Operations

In instances where the Company’s oil and gas activities are conducted jointly with others, the Company’s accounts reflect only its proportionate interest in such activities.

Cash and Short-term Deposits

Cash consists of balances with financial institutions and investments in money market instruments, which have terms to maturity of three months or less at time of purchase.

Oil and Gas Properties

Under the full cost method of accounting for oil and gas operations all costs associated with the exploration for and development of oil and gas reserves are capitalized on a country-by-country basis. Such costs include land acquisition costs, geological and geophysical expenses, carrying charges on non-producing properties, costs of drilling both productive and non-productive wells, production equipment and overhead charges directly related to acquisition, exploration and development activities. Proceeds from the sale of oil and gas properties are applied against capitalized costs with no gain or loss recognized, unless such a sale would significantly alter the rate of depletion and depreciation in a particular country, in which case a gain or loss on disposal is recorded.

Capitalized costs within each country are depleted and depreciated on the unit-of-production method based on the estimated gross proved reserves as determined by independent petroleum engineers. Oil and gas reserves and production are converted into equivalent units on the basis of 6,000 cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel of oil. Depletion and depreciation is calculated using the capitalized costs, including estimated asset retirement costs, plus the estimated future costs to be incurred in developing proved reserves, net of estimated salvage value.

An impairment loss is recognized in net earnings if the carrying amount of a cost center exceeds the “cost center ceiling”. The carrying amount of the cost center includes the capitalized costs of proved oil and natural gas properties, net of accumulated depletion and deferred income taxes and the cost center ceiling is the present value of the estimated future net cash flows, using yearend unescalated prices, from proved oil and natural gas reserves discounted at ten percent (net of related tax effects) plus the lower of cost or fair value of unproved properties included in the costs being amortized (and/or the costs of unproved properties that have been subject to a separate impairment test and contain no probable reserves).

Costs of acquiring and evaluating unproved properties and major development projects are initially excluded from the depletion and depreciation calculation until it is determined whether or not proved reserves can be assigned to such properties. Costs of unproved properties and major development projects are transferred to depletable costs based on the percentage of reserves assigned to each project over the expected total reserves when the project was initiated. These costs are assessed periodically to ascertain whether impairment has occurred.

 
29

 

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation of assets is provided by use of a declining balance method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Expenditures for replacements, renewals, and betterments are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.

Asset Retirement Obligations

The Company recognizes a liability for asset retirement obligations in the period in which they are incurred and in which a reasonable estimate of such costs can be made. Asset retirement obligations include those legal obligations where the Company will be required to retire tangible long-lived assets such as producing well sites. The asset retirement obligation is measured at fair value and recorded as a liability and capitalized as part of the cost of the related long-lived asset as an asset retirement cost. The asset retirement obligation accretes until the time the asset retirement obligation is expected to settle while the asset retirement costs included in oil and gas properties are amortized using the unit-of-production method.

Amortization of asset retirement costs and accretion of the asset retirement obligation are included in depletion, depreciation and accretion. Actual asset retirement costs are recorded against the obligation when incurred. Any difference between the recorded asset retirement obligations and the actual retirement costs incurred is recorded in depletion, depreciation and accretion.

Environmental

Oil and gas activities are subject to extensive federal, provincial, state and local environmental laws and regulations. These laws, which are constantly changing, regulate the discharge of materials into the environment and may require the Company to remove or mitigate the environmental effects of the disposal or release of petroleum or chemical substances at various sites.

Environmental expenditures are expensed or capitalized depending on their future economic benefit. Expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations and that have no future economic benefits are expensed. Liabilities for expenditures of a non-capital nature are recorded when environmental assessment and/or remediation is probable, and the costs can be reasonably estimated. To date, the Company has not recognized any environmental obligations as production has been insignificant and we have not actively produced since October, 2006.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are determined using the liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the period that includes the enactment date. In addition, a valuation allowance is established to reduce any deferred tax asset for which it is determined that it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

Per FASB Interpretation (FIN 48) (See Note 4) under the liability method, it is the Company’s policy to provide for uncertain tax positions and the related interest and penalties based upon management’s assessment of whether a tax benefit is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. At December 31, 2007, the Company believes it has appropriately accounted for any unrecognized tax benefits. To the extent the Company prevails in matters for which a liability for an unrecognized benefit is established or is required to pay amounts in excess of the liability, the Company’s effective tax rate in a given financial statement period may be affected. Interest and penalties associated with the Company’s tax positions are recorded as Interest Expense.

 
30

 
 
Flow-through Shares

The Company finances a portion of its Canadian exploration programs with flow-through common shares issued pursuant to certain provisions of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “Act”). Under the Act, where the proceeds are used for eligible expenditures, the related income tax deductions may be renounced to subscribers. Accordingly, the tax credits associated with the renunciation of such expenditures are recorded as an increase to deferred income tax liabilities. Any premium received from subscribers on the sale of such flow-through common shares is recorded initially as a current liability and then discharged and recognized as a reduction of deferred income taxes when the flow-through eligible expenditures relating to the flow-through premium are incurred by the Company.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company records compensation expense for share based payments using the fair value method pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement (“FASB”) No. 123R. The fair value of share-based compensation to employees will be determined using an option pricing model at the time of grant. Fair value for common shares issued for goods or services rendered by non-employees are measured based on the fair value of the goods or services received. Stock-based compensation expense is included in general and administrative expense with a corresponding increase to Additional Paid in Capital. Upon the exercise of the stock options, consideration paid together with the previously recognized Additional Paid in Capital is recorded as an increase in share capital.

Foreign Currency Translation

The functional currency for the Company’s foreign operations is the Canadian dollar. The translation from the applicable foreign currencies to U.S. dollars is performed for assets and liabilities accounts using current exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, while income, expenses and cash flows are translated at the average exchange rates for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a component of other comprehensive income. Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in other income/expenses.

Revenue Recognition

Revenues from the sale of petroleum and natural gas are recorded when title passes from the Company to its petroleum and/or natural gas purchaser and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company will begin recording revenue once it is determined there are proved reserves resulting in production.

Loss Per Common Share

Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per common share is computed after giving effect to all dilutive potential common shares that were outstanding during the period. Dilutive potential common shares consist of incremental shares issuable upon exercise of stock options and warrants, contingent stock, conversion of debentures and preferred stock outstanding. The dilutive effect of potential common shares is not considered in the EPS calculations for these periods if the impact would have been anti-dilutive.


4.   RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

FASB Interpretation (FIN) 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48). In July 2006, the FASB issued FIN 48, which provides guidance on accounting for income tax positions about which the Company has concluded there is a level of uncertainty with respect to the recognition of a tax benefit in the Company’s financial statements. FIN 48 describes the minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet. Tax positions are defined very broadly and include not only tax deductions and credits but also decisions not to file in a particular jurisdiction, as well as the taxability of certain transactions.

Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. There was not a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations as a result of the adoption of the provisions of FIN 48. At December 31, 2007, the Company had no significant unrecognized tax positions and the Company does not believe there will be any material changes in its unrecognized tax positions over the next twelve months.

The Company’s tax positions are subject to examination by tax authorities. As at December 31, 2007, the Company’s tax years 2005 to present are open for United States – Federal and State jurisdictions and Canada – Federal and Provincial jurisdictions.

The following new accounting standards have been issued, but have not yet been adopted by the Company:

In November, 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combination. FAS 141(R) will change how business acquisitions are accounted for and will impact financial statements both on the acquisition date and in subsequent periods. FAS 141(R) is effective for both public and private companies for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. FAS 141(R) will be applied prospectively. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company has not yet determined this pronouncement’s potential impact.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS No. 157). In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 157, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No 157 does not require any new fair value measurements. However, in some cases, the application of SFAS No. 157 may change the Company’s current practice for measuring and disclosing fair values under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. For the Company, SFAS No. 157 will be effective as of January 1, 2008 and must be applied prospectively except in certain cases. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS NO. 157, and cannot currently estimate the impact of SFAS No. 157 on its consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (SFAS No. 159). In February 2007, the FSAB issued SFAS No. 159, which permits entities to choose to measure many new financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. For the Company, SFAS No. 159 will be effective as of January 1, 2008 and will have no impact on amounts presented for periods prior to the effective date. The Company cannot currently estimate the impact of SFAS No. 159 on its consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial position and has not yet determined whether or not it will choose to measure items subject to SFAS No. 159 at fair value.

Drilling programs are being planned for 2008-2009 for our North West Territories and British Columbia properties in Canada and a drilling program is currently underway on our New Mexico property in the United States. It is estimated by management that the unproved property costs associated with these three properties, which in the aggregate constitutes approximately $26,500,000 of our total unproved property costs as at December 31, 2007, will be included in our costs subject to depletion in the future.
 
Ceiling Test

The Company has performed ceiling tests for unproved properties in its Canadian and United States geographical cost centers. As at December 31, 2007 and 2006, the carrying values of the Company’s unproved properties in its Canadian and United States cost centers were assessed by management and costs attributable to certain Canadian cost center properties were determined to be unsupportable. Consequently, ceiling test impairment write-downs of $174,380 (2006 - $1,419,946) were recorded and included in depletion, depreciation and accretion.  It was determined that no impairment existed in its United States cost center as at December 31, 2007 or 2006.

Property Acquisition

On September 28, 2007 the Company purchased from Thunder Energy, Inc. (“Thunder”)and CIMA Holdings, Inc.(“CIMA”), a subsidiary of Thunder, 100% of Thunder’s interest in its EL 413 Exploration License in the Northwest Territories and 100% of CIMA’s interest in their New Mexico properties in consideration for $1 million cash and 7,000,000 common shares of the Company valued at $14,000,000 ($2.00 per common share) and a commitment to issue in the future an additional 11,000,000 common shares of the Company upon the achievement of certain milestones in connection with the acquired properties. All acquired properties are unproved. For accounting purposes, the 7 million common shares issued to Thunder were recorded at a value of $17,500,000 or $2.50 per common share, being the same price per share at which the September 28, 2007 private placement financing of 2,756,000 non-flow-through common shares were issued. (See Notes 2 and 12).

Of the cash consideration, $100,000 was paid as a deposit on July 11, 2007, and the balance of $900,000 was paid at closing on September 28, 2007. Of the common shares consideration, 7 million shares were issued to Thunder at closing on September 28, 2007. An additional 6 million shares will be issued to Thunder if, as, and when certain performance milestones are achieved, including 2 million shares upon completion of a 2007/08 seismic program by June 30, 2008; 1 million shares upon the spudding of a shallow depth well (1,500 meters TD) by March 31, 2009; 1.5 million shares upon the spudding of a medium depth well (2,500 meters TD) before lease expiry in 2009 and 1.5 million shares upon conversion of any part of EL 413 to a Significant Discovery Lease. If, as a result of the Company’s exploration and development activities on the acquired properties, reserves in place exceed 100 million barrels, then, for each excess 10 million barrels in place, 100,000 additional shares could be issued, up to a maximum of 5 million additional shares.


9.   LONG TERM LIABILITIES

As at December 31, 2007, the Company held $110,955 (2006 - $ Nil) in funds advanced by partners for their share of a drilling deposit required to be lodged by the Company with the British Columbia Oil and Gas Commission (see Note 7) as security for future well abandonment and site restoration activities.

Notes Payable

During the second and third quarters of 2007, the Company received $3,300,000 in advances from a European lender which bore interest at 9½% per annum and were unsecured. On September 28, 2007, the lender was repaid $2,567,500 in 1,027,000 common shares issued as part of the financing described in Note 12. On October 1, 2007, the balance of $732,500 was repaid in full in cash with accrued interest of $94,055. The Company had no borrowings in 2006 and 2005.

Convertible Debt

Debt of $41,189 as at December 31, 2005 was non-interest bearing and convertible to common shares of the Company pursuant to the stock for services compensation plan. A beneficial conversion feature of $808,811 was calculated on the debt for the year ended December 31, 2005 representing the difference between the conversion price and the fair value of the common stock at the commitment date. This amount is recorded as interest expense and an increase in additional paid in capital. The Company issued 1,000,000 shares in January, 2006 to settle this debt pursuant to the stock for services compensation plan. Debt was reduced by $41,189 and Shares Issued increased by $1,000 and Additional Paid-in Capital increased by $40,189.


10. ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS

At December 31, 2007, the estimated total undiscounted amount required to settle the asset retirement obligations was $ 213,880 (2006 - $126,307; 2005 - $ Nil). These obligations will be settled at the end of the useful lives of the underlying assets, which currently extends up to 8 years into the future. This amount has been discounted using a credit adjusted risk-free interest rate of 7.5% and a rate of inflation of 2.5%.

11.  INCOME TAXES
 
As at December 31, 2007, the Company's deferred tax asset is attributable to its net operating loss carry forward of approximately $2,000,000 (2006 - $647,000; 2005 - $153,000), which will expire if not utilized in the years 2024, 2025, 2026 and 2027. Of this amount, approximately $402,000 (2006 - $397,000; 2005 - $139,000) is attributable to the Company's Canadian operations. As reflected below, this benefit has been fully offset by a valuation allowance based on management's determination that it is not more likely than not that some or all of this benefit will be realized.
 
For the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006, 2005 and for the period from date of inception, April 7, 2004 to December 31, 2007, a reconciliation of income tax benefit at the U.S. federal statutory rate to income tax benefit at the Company's effective tax rates is as follows.

In September and October of 2007, the Company issued flow-through shares in Canada at a $1,125,835 premium to the then market price in recognition of the Canadian tax benefits accruing to subscribers. In accordance with US GAAP, the premium has been recorded as a current liability and then was drawn down as a reduction of deferred tax expense as the exploration expenditures were incurred. In 2007, expenditures of $879,922 were incurred resulting in a deferred tax credit of $147,000 pertaining to the flow-through share premium relating to those expenditures. The flow-through share premium at December 31, 2007 amounting to $978,835 is shown as a current liability.

Deferred tax assets (liabilities) at December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 are comprised of the following:

13.  STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Stock Options

In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement (“FASB”) No. 123R, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing method to determine the fair value of each option granted and the amount is recognized as additional expense in the statement of earnings over the vesting period of the option. The fair value of each option granted has been estimated using the following average assumptions:

   
2007
 
2006
 
2005
             
Risk free interest rate
 
3.65-4.57%

The fair value of options granted during the year ended December 31, 2007 totaled $1,166,060 (2006 - $ 1,082,000; 2005 $ Nil). The amount of share-based compensation expense recorded during the year ended December 31, 2007 is $ 643,934 (2006 – $ 69,169; 2005 - $ Nil) and has been included in General and Administrative Expense with a corresponding credit to additional paid in capital. The balance of the fair value of the options to be expensed in future periods is $1,536,957 (2006 - $1,012,831; 2005 - $ Nil) over a vesting period of three years.

The weighted average number of shares outstanding for 2005 and 2006 have been adjusted retroactively for the two 2:1 stock splits that occurred in 2006.

Of the contingent shares related to the property acquisition described in note 8, only 4.5 million shares of the 11 million total contingent shares are assumed to be issued for purposes of the 2007 diluted loss per share calculation. The 7.5 million shares relating to the significant discovery and production milestones have been excluded because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.


15.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Thunder Acquisition Commitments

On September 28, 2007 the Company purchased from Thunder certain unproved properties in Canada and the United States in consideration for cash and common shares of the Company as set out more fully in Note 8. As part of the transaction, the Company has committed to issue in the future up to 11 million additional common shares of the Company upon the achievement of certain milestones in connection with the acquired properties, including 6 million shares to be issued as follows: 2 million shares upon completion of a 2007/08 seismic program by June 30, 2008; 1 million shares upon the spudding of a shallow depth well (1,500 meters TD) by March 31, 2009; 1.5 million shares upon the spudding of a medium depth well (2,500 meters TD) before lease expiry in 2009 and 1.5 million shares upon conversion of any part of EL 413 to a Significant Discovery Lease. If, as a result of the Company’s exploration and development activities on the acquired properties, reserves in place exceed 100 million barrels, then, for each excess 10 million barrels in place, 100,000 additional shares could be issued, up to a maximum of 5 million additional shares.

Canadian Flow-through Share Commitments

Of the private placement shares sold in the September and October, 2007 financings, 2,251,670 were sold at a purchase price of $3.00 for gross proceeds of $6,755,010 and on the basis that the Company would provide the purchaser a Canadian tax flow through deduction. In order to provide such flow through share tax deduction benefits to the investors, the Company has committed to expend the proceeds on eligible capital expenditures in Canada prior to December 31, 2008 and renounce such expenditures to the flow through share investors. In January, 2008, these expenditures were renounced effective December 31, 2007. As at December 31, 2007, the Company had incurred $879,922 in eligible capital expenditures and therefore has a balance of $5,875,088 to spend prior to December 31, 2008. Failure to incur such expenditures prior to December 31, 2008 could result in a liability of the Company for any Canadian tax consequences to the investors.

Potential Litigation

There is a threatened litigation matter which comprises a potential claim by a partner against the Company regarding the terms of the EL 413 North West Territory farm-out agreement entered into in 2006. The potential outcome and loss to the Company is unknown; however, in the opinion of management, this matter is not expected to result in any material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position.

16.  FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company, as part of its operations, carries a number of financial instruments. It is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, credit or currency risks arising from these financial instruments except as otherwise disclosed.

20.  SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On February 8, 2008, the Company purchased an additional interest in the Lucy, B.C. property for cash consideration of approximately $417,000.


ITEM 9.     CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
A.           2005 Restatement

During the process of preparing the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB for the Fiscal Quarter Ended September 30, 2006, the Company’s CFO, at that time, identified errors in the accounting records that originated in the fourth quarter of 2005, the first quarter ended March 31, 2006 and the second quarter ended June 30, 2006. The errors arose as a result of a lack of adequate procedures and documentation necessary to ensure that records were maintained in reasonable detail to fairly reflect the transactions of the Company in the start up phase of operations.
 
After discussing these matters with management, the CFO, at that time, recommended to the Audit Committee that previously reported financial results be restated to reflect correction of these errors. The Audit Committee agreed with this recommendation. Pursuant to the recommendation of the Audit Committee, the Board of Directors determined at its meeting on November 3, 2006, that previously reported results for the Company be restated. On December 14, 2006, amended consolidated financial statements for the above noted periods were filed.

B.           2007 Restatement
 
During the process of preparing the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2008, it was determined that it was necessary to restate our consolidated financial statements for the Fiscal Quarter Ended September 30, 2007 and the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2007. The restatements were required to correct for an error in measurement and an error in the application of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”) in recording two September, 2007 transactions as described in Note 2 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements.
 
After discussing these matters with other management, the CFO recommended to the Audit Committee that previously reported financial results be restated to reflect correction of these errors. The Audit Committee agreed with this recommendation. Pursuant to the recommendation of the Audit Committee, the Board of Directors determined at its meeting on March 13, 2009, that previously reported results for the Company be restated. On March 27, 2009, amended consolidated financial statements for the above noted periods were filed.
 
These errors resulted from the Company not seeking appropriate external advice regarding the recording of certain transactions that were complex and not subject to routine accounting principles. One error was in measuring the appropriate date at which common shares of the Company were issued in consideration for the acquisition of unproved oil and gas properties, an arm’s length transaction that was negotiated over a period of several months during 2007 but not finally closed until September 28, 2007, at which date the common shares were issued. The second error was in the application of US GAAP in the accounting for the complexities involved relating to premium proceeds received on the issue of Canadian flow-through shares, a Canadian income tax concept not in practice in the United States. These errors demonstrated a material weakness relating to the segregation of duties among financial and accounting personnel and a need to engage additional personnel or seek outside advice where appropriate to strengthen internal controls over financial reporting.
 
C.           Remediation of Material Weakness in Internal Control over Disclosure Controls and Procedures

During December, 2006 and the first half of 2007, the company hired a Controller, a new CFO and a Vice-President Operations and additional qualified personnel. The new staff and existing management have implemented new procedures and controls for many areas of the Company’s activities. During 2007, the Company initiated a review of its corporate policies and procedures with the assistance of an outside consulting firm, with a goal of having the Company become fully SOX compliant by year end 2007. Additional policies and procedures have been implemented and others strengthened. Testing of such policies and procedures was completed in late 2007 and early 2008.

In addition to the strengthening of internal control over disclosure controls and procedures as discussed above, the Company endeavored to engage outside consulting assistance to ensure the proper accounting for non-routine accounting transactions and adherence to US GAAP. Beginning in 2008, the Company engaged an outside consulting firm to assist in income tax planning and compliance and beginning with our fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, to review our Canadian and U.S. income tax provisions.

As at December 31, 2008, the Company continues to have a material weakness relating to the segregation of duties among certain personnel and as of that date, management believes that without engaging additional personnel, estimated to cost a minimum of approximately $150,000 per annum, we cannot remedy such material weakness. Management believes such expenditures cannot be justified at this time when the Company is still in the exploratory stage of operations and has no proved reserves, production or cash flow. When sufficient cash flow is being generated, management will review its position. Management believes its controls and procedures related to its financial and corporate information systems are appropriate for a company of its size and mandate and due to its internal expertise, it is not dependent upon the inherent risks in external third party management of such systems.

D.           Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

During the third quarter of 2006, the CFO, at that time, evaluated the disclosure controls and procedures and identified a lack of sufficient procedures, documentation and qualified personnel to ensure the records fairly reflected the transactions of the Company resulting in a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Solely as a result of the material weakness, management concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2005, March 31, 2006 or June 30, 2006.

In the first quarter of 2009, our CEO and CFO evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15-d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. They concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not adequate and effective in ensuring that material information relating to the Company would be made known to them by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which this report was being prepared.

Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and in reaching a reasonable level of assurance, management necessarily is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

REVISED MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f)). Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer (CEO) and principal financial officer (CFO), we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the financial statements will not be prevented or detected.  Management identified the following material weaknesses during its assessment of our internal control over financial reporting as at December 31, 2007.
 
(a)           Segregation of Duties and Access to Critical Accounting Systems
 
As at December 31, 2007, management believes the Company’s Internal Control over Financial Reporting does not meet the definition of adequate control, based on criteria established by Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Management identified a material weakness relating to the segregation of duties among certain personnel who had incompatible responsibilities within all significant processes affecting financial reporting. We also had a material weakness resulting from our failure to implement adequate controls to restrict access to financially significant systems or to monitor access to those systems, which resulted in conflicting access and/or inappropriate segregation of duties. As a result of these material weaknesses, management has concluded that the Internal Controls over Financial Reporting were not effective as at December 31, 2007.
 
(b)           Need for External Consultants in Specialist Areas
 
The Company needs to engage outside consulting assistance to ensure the proper accounting for non-routine accounting transactions and adherence to US GAAP, to assist in income tax planning and compliance and beginning with our fiscal year end, and to review our Canadian and U.S. income tax provisions.
 
Our management has discussed the material weaknesses described above and other deficiencies with our Audit Committee.  And we have documented this assessment and made this assessment available to our independent registered Chartered Accountants. We recognize that all internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
 
Our management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, originally set forth in this report, was audited by Meyers Norris Penny LLP, independent registered Chartered Accountants, as stated in their report which is on page 16 of this Form 10-K. Meyers Norris Penny LLP also audited our Financial Statements as stated in their report which is on page 19 of this Form 10-K.
 
CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROLS
 
During 2007, the Company initiated a review of its corporate policies and procedures with the assistance of an outside consulting firm, with a goal of having the Company become fully SOX compliant by year end 2007. Additional policies and procedures have been implemented and others strengthened. Testing of such policies and procedures was completed in late 2007 and early 2008. Management believes these improvements in our overall internal control will strengthen the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, additional changes are required for the future, and the company will undertake to make additional changes as stated in this Item.

COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(a) OF THE EXCHANGE ACT

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company's directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than 10% of the outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock, to file initial reports of beneficial ownership and reports of changes in beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock with the Commission. Such persons are required by Commission regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

Based solely upon a review of Forms 3 and 4 and amendments thereto furnished to the Company during the year ended December 31, 2007, and upon a review of Forms 5 and amendments thereto furnished to the Company with respect to the year ended December 31, 2007, or upon written representations received by the Company from certain reporting persons that no Forms 5 were required for those persons.

AUDIT COMMITTEE AND FINANCIAL EXPERT

During the year end December 31, 2007, the audit committee met five times. The audit committee’s role is financial oversight. Our management is responsible for the preparation of our financial statements and our independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for auditing those financial statements. The audit committee is not providing any special assurance as to our financial statements or any professional certification as to the registered independent accounting firm’s work.

The audit committee is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of Kodiak’s independent registered accounting firm. The committee, among other things, also reviews and discusses Kodiak’s audited financial statements with management.

Our audit committee is comprised of three directors: Peter Schriber and Marvin Jones, who are independent and Glenn Watt. Our board has determined Peter Schriber, our Audit Committee Chairman, qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” within the definition established by the SEC and he is an independent director.
 
CODE OF ETHICS

A code of ethics relates to written standards that are reasonably designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote:
1)   Honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships.
2)   Full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that are filed with, or submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission and in other public communications made by the Company.
3)   Compliance with applicable government laws, rules and regulations
4)   The prompt internal reporting of violations of the code to an appropriate person or persons identified in the code; and
5)   Accountability for adherence to the code.

In October, 2007, the Company adopted a formal code of business conduct. The board of directors evaluated the business of the Company and its personnel and has determined that its business operations are operated by a growing number of persons, some of who are also officers, directors and employees of the Company and others who are independent contractors. Although general rules of fiduciary duty and federal, state and provincial criminal, business conduct and securities laws are adequate ethical guidelines, a formal written code of business conduct would provide additional ethical standards of conduct to which the Company’s personnel should comply.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Overview of Compensation Program and Philosophy

The Company has three executive officers, two of whom are the Company’s directors.  The Board of Directors serves as the Company’s compensation committee, initiates and approves most compensation decisions.  Annual bonuses for executives are determined by the Board of Directors.

The goal of the compensation program is to adequately reward the efforts and achievements of executive officers for the management of the Company.  The Company has no pension plan and no deferred compensation arrangements. The Company has not used a compensation consultant in any capacity.

We have formal consulting contracts with Mr. William Tighe, Mr. Mark Hlady, Mr. Glenn Watt and Mr. William Brimacombe or their consulting companies. During 2007, Sicamous Oil and Gas Consultants Ltd., a company owned by Mr. William Tighe was paid Cdn $8,000 to $10,000 per month and MHC Corporation, a company owned by Mr. Hlady, was paid Cdn $5,000 per month for the period January to November, 2007. Harbour Oilfield Consulting Ltd., a company owned by Mr. Watt, was paid $Cdn $10,000 per month for the period April to December, 2007. Mr. William Brimacombe was paid Cdn. $85 per hour for the period January to June, 2007 and Cdn. $100 per hour for the period July to December, 2007. On January 3, 2007, Mr. Brimacombe was granted an option to purchase 280,000 common shares of the Company in accordance with the terms of the stock option plan. His option vests 1/3 in each of the first three years of its five year term. No other options were granted to executive officers during the year.

Compensation of Directors

Directors of the corporation are not paid any cash compensation. We reimburse each of our directors for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses that they incur in connection with attending board or committee meetings.

On January 4, 2006, the Company adopted a stock-based compensation plan, under which each director of Kodiak would receive 120,000 options upon becoming a director and an additional 80,000 options in the second year and 200,000 options in the third year for each year or part of a year served as a director. On July 19, 2006 the stock option plan was approved by the shareholders of the Company. On October 23, 2006, options granted to directors were adjusted to 200,000 shares per director. The exercise price of such options is the market price per share on the date of grant.

No stock options were granted to any directors during the year. No named directors or executive officers exercised any stock options during fiscal 2007, 2006 or 2005.
