UNIVERSAL ENERGY CORP.
AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

September 30, 2009

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

Reporting Entity.  Universal Energy Corp. and Subsidiaries (“Universal” or the “Company”) were incorporated in the State of Delaware on January 4, 2002, January 24, 2002 and February 26, 2007, respectively.  The Company is authorized to issue 100,000,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001.  The Company’s office is located in Lake Mary, Florida.  Universal Energy Corp. is an independent energy company engaged in the acquisition and development of crude oil and natural gas leases in the United States. 

Principles of Consolidation. The Company’s consolidated financial statements for the periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, include the accounts of its wholly owned subsidiaries UT Holdings, Inc. and Universal Explorations Corp., both Delaware corporations.  All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN

As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has significant losses from operations, negative cash flows from operations, a substantial stockholders’ deficit and current liabilities which exceed current assets. The Company may not be able to continue as a going concern and fund cash requirements for operations through the next 12 months with current cash reserves. Notwithstanding success in raising capital, there continues to be substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

In view of the matters described in the preceding paragraph, recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets is dependent upon continued operations of the Company, which, in turn, is dependent upon the Company’s ability to continue to raise capital and ultimately generate positive cash flows from operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue its existence.

Management has taken or plans to reduce costs and convert outstanding debt to provide the Company with the ability to continue in existence.  Management anticipates raising additional future capital from its current stockholders, or other financing sources, that will be used to fund any capital shortfalls. The terms of any financing will likely be negotiated based upon current market terms for similar financings. No commitments have been received for additional investment and no assurances can be given that this financing will ultimately be completed.

There are no assurances that the Company will be successful in achieving its goals.  In view of these conditions, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain additional financing or capital sources, to meet its financing requirements, and ultimately to achieve profitable operations.  Management believes that its current and future plans provide an opportunity to continue as a going concern.  The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue as a going concern.

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation.  The Company follows accounting standards set by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). References to GAAP issued by the FASB in these footnotes are to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ sometimes referred to as the Codification or ASC. The FASB finalized the Codification effective for periods ending on or after September 15, 2009. Prior FASB standards are no longer being issued by the FASB.

The accompanying consolidated unaudited financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial statements and with instructions to Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and Article 8-03 if Regulation S-X under the Exchange Act. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) for a fair presentation are included herein. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 are not indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Reclassifications. Certain prior periods’ balances have been reclassified to conform to the current year consolidated financial statement presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on previously reported consolidated results of operations, stockholders’ deficit, or cash flows.

Full Cost Method.  The Company utilizes the full-cost method of accounting for petroleum and natural gas properties. Under this method, the Company capitalizes all costs associated with acquisition, exploration and development of oil and natural gas reserves, including leasehold acquisition costs, geological and geophysical expenditures, lease rentals on undeveloped properties, interest and costs of drilling of productive and non-productive wells into the full cost pool. When the Company obtains proven oil and gas reserves, capitalized costs, including estimated future costs to develop the reserves proved and estimated abandonment costs, net of salvage, will be depleted on the units-of-production method using estimates of proved reserves. The costs of unproved properties are not amortized until it is determined whether or not proved reserves can be assigned to the properties. Until such determination is made, the Company assesses quarterly whether impairment has occurred, and includes in the amortization base drilling exploratory dry holes associated with unproved properties.

All items classified as unproved property are assessed on a quarterly basis for possible impairment or reduction in value. Properties are assessed on an individual basis or as a group if properties are individually insignificant. The assessment includes consideration of the following factors, among others: intent to drill; remaining lease term; geological and geophysical evaluations; drilling results and activity; the assignment of proved reserves; and the economic viability of development if proved reserves are assigned. During any period in which these factors indicate an impairment, the cumulative drilling costs incurred to date for such property and all or a portion of the associated leasehold costs are transferred to the full cost pool and are then subject to amortization.

Revenue RecognitionThe Company derives revenue primarily from the sale of produced natural gas and crude oil.  The Company reports revenue as the net amount received after taking into account royalties. Production taxes and transportation costs are reported as separate expenses.  Each month we record revenue based on the actual sales of crude oil and natural gas.  The estimates we make relate to the average price received throughout the month for those sales.  As the production is relatively steady throughout the month, the estimates for the price received for those sales are relatively accurate as the daily prices for the oil and natural gas sold are readily available. Variances between our estimates and the actual amounts received are recorded in the month payment is received.

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED

Stock Based Compensation. The Company records an expense in its financial statements for the fair value of all stock-based compensation awards. The Company currently utilizes a standard option pricing model (i.e., Black-Scholes) to measure the fair value of stock options granted to employees using the “modified prospective” method. Under the “modified prospective” method, compensation cost is recognized in the financial statements beginning with the effective date, based on certain requirements for all share-based payments granted after that date, and based on other requirements for all unvested awards granted prior to the effective date.

Income (Loss) per Share.  Earnings per share are calculated in accordance with the FASB ASC 260-10, “Earnings Per Share.” The Company presents basic and diluted loss per share on the face of the statement of operations.  Basic and diluted income (loss) per share has been calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.    For the periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, 167,527,863 outstanding options or warrants were excluded from the diluted loss per share computation since their effect is anti-dilutive.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards.  On December 31, 2008, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) adopted major revisions to its rules governing oil and gas company reporting requirements. These include provisions that permit the use of new technologies to determine proved reserves and that allow companies to disclose their probable and possible reserves to investors. The current rules limit disclosure to only proved reserves. The new disclosure requirements also require companies to report the independence and qualifications of the person primarily responsible for the preparation or audit of reserve estimates, and to file reports when a third party is relied upon to prepare or audit reserves estimates. The new rules also require that oil and gas reserves be reported and the full-cost ceiling value calculated using an average price based upon the prior 12-month period. The new oil and gas reporting requirements are effective for annual reports on Form 10-K for fiscal years ending on or after December 31, 2009, with early adoption not permitted. We are in the process of assessing the impact of these new requirements on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and financial disclosures.

In June 2009, the FASB approved the “FASB Accounting Standards Codification” (the “Codification”) as the single source of authoritative nongovernmental U.S. GAAP to be launched on July 1, 2009. The Codification does not change current U.S. GAAP, but is intended to simplify user access to all authoritative U.S. GAAP by providing all the authoritative literature related to a particular topic in one place. All existing accounting standard documents will be superseded and all other accounting literature not included in the Codification will be considered nonauthoritative. The Codification is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Codification is effective for the Company in the interim period ending September 30, 2009 and it does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 4 – OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES, PROVEN

The Company follows the full cost method of accounting for oil and gas operations whereby all costs of exploring for and developing oil and gas reserves are initially capitalized on a country-by-country (cost center) basis. Capitalized costs, less estimated salvage value, are depleted using the units-of-production method whereby historical costs and future development costs are amortized over the total estimated proved reserves. Costs of acquiring and evaluating unproven 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. These costs are assessed periodically to ascertain whether impairment has occurred (i.e., "impairment tests”). All of the Company’s oil and gas properties are located in the United States. The following table summarizes information regarding the Company's proved oil and gas acquisition, exploration and development activities:

In the United States, depletion expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $234,560 (2008 - $0).  During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the carrying value of the Company’s proved properties in the United States exceeded their estimated realizable value which resulted in a $502,530 non-cash impairment loss being recognized.

Natural gas and oil reserves- United States

The following table summarizes the changes in the Company’s proved natural gas and oil reserves for the year ended December 31, 2008 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.  The Company had four producing wells at the beginning of fiscal 2008 that were not assigned proved reserves. The gas and oil reserve quantities owned by the Company were prepared by an independent petroleum engineering firm.

NOTE 4 – OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES, PROVEN, CONTINUED

Asset Retirement Obligations.

Asset retirement obligations associated with producing wells are accrued over the life of the well.  The estimated fair value of the future costs associated with dismantlement, abandonment and restoration of oil and natural gas properties is recorded when a liability is incurred, generally through a lease construction or acquisition or completion of a well.  The current estimated costs are escalated at an inflation rate and discounted to present value at a credit adjusted risk-free rate over the estimated economic life of the properties.  Such costs are capitalized as part of the basis of the related asset and are depleted as part of the applicable full cost pool.  The associated liability is recorded initially as a long-term liability.  Subsequent adjustments to the initial asset and liability are recorded to reflect revisions to estimated future cash flow requirements.  In addition, the liability is adjusted to reflect accretion expense as well as settlements during the period. A reconciliation of the changes in the asset retirement obligations is as follows:

   
September 30, 2009
 
Balance, beginning of year
  $ 2,270  
Liabilities incurred
    -  
Accretion
    6,671  
Total asset retirement obligations
  $ 8,941  

The asset retirement obligations were estimated based on a discount rate of 10%, an inflation rate of 3.0% and settlement period of 3.25 years.

NOTE 6 – PROMISSORY NOTES, MARCH 2008

Promissory Notes - $600,000.   On or about March 13, 2008, the Company issued promissory notes in the amount of $600,000 to certain investors.  Interest accrues on the outstanding principal balance of this note at the rate of 12% per annum.  Interest is calculated on the basis of a 365-day year, and is charged on the principal outstanding for the actual number of days elapsed.  The Company pays each holder all accrued interest on a calendar quarterly basis, commencing at the end of the first calendar quarter following the purchase of this note.  The Company will begin making monthly cash principal payments on the first business day of each calendar month beginning on the first business day of the thirteenth full calendar month following purchase of the note.  The amount of the monthly payment is based on a two-year amortization of the note.  The holder has the right to convert the outstanding principal balance (in whole and not in part) into such number of securities by dividing the outstanding balance by $0.50.

The conversion feature in effect during the time the loan is outstanding, allows the note holder to convert outstanding principal and interest into common stock. The conversion price is subject to the pricing of certain stock offerings. During June 2008, two of the note holders exchanged $200,000 of principal balance of their note into the May 2008 Debenture financing. During November 2008, one of the note holders exchanged $125,000 of principal balance of their note into the October 2008 Debenture financing.

NOTE 7 – CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES – SEPTEMBER 2007

On or about September 13, 2007, the Company consummated a securities purchase agreement (the “September 2007 SPA”) in which the Company received aggregate proceeds of $4,000,000 reflecting a 20% original issue discount to the purchasers. The Senior Debentures were due and payable on August 31, 2009.  The amortization may be effected through cash payments, or at the Company’s option subject to certain conditions, through the issuance of shares of the Company’s common stock, based on a price per share equal to 80% of the lowest three (3) closing bid prices of the common stock over the 20 trading days immediately preceding the date of such payment.

Roswell Capital Partners, LLC, as Collateral Agent; Bridgepointe Master Fund Ltd. vs. Universal Energy Corp. On September 1, 2009, the Company was served with a verified complaint captioned Roswell Capital Partners, LLC, as Collateral Agent; Bridgepointe Master Fund Ltd. vs. Universal Energy Corp.; Universal Explorations Corp.; UT Holdings, Inc.; Universal Energy Services Corp; and John Does 1-10 (the "Complaint"). The Complaint, which was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, relates to the investment made by the plaintiffs (the "Secured Lenders") during 2007 in convertible debentures of the Company (the "Debentures"). The Debentures are secured by certain assets of the Company and its subsidiaries.
 
The lawsuit asserts breaches of the various documents executed by the Company and its subsidiaries in connection with the issuance of the Debentures. In addition to monetary damages, the lawsuit seeks a determination that the Secured Lenders hold a valid lien in certain assets of the Company, seeks an order of foreclosure relating to assets subject to valid lien and the appointment of a receiver.
 
On September 30, 2009, the Company issued 6,279,549,583 shares of common stock for the $746,460 in remaining principal and $51,882 in accrued interest under the debentures.

NOTE 14 – STOCK OPTION PLAN

The 2006 Non-Statutory Stock Option Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors on September 13, 2006. Under this plan, a maximum of 37,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001, were authorized for issue.   The vesting and terms of all of the options are determined by the Board of Directors and may vary by optionee; however, the term may be no longer than 10 years from the date of grant.

In September 2006, the Company awarded 12,500,000 stock options to certain employees, officers, and directors for services rendered. These options were valued at fair value at the date of grant. The fair value of the options issued was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 4.65%; no dividend yields; volatility factors of the expected market price of the Company’s common stock of 71%; an estimated forfeiture rate of 15%; and an expected life of the options of 3 years. This generated a price of $0.39 per option based on a strike price of $0.78 at the date of grant, which was September 15, 2006.

As a result, approximately $1,380,800 of compensation expense and additional paid-in capital was recorded during the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2008 relating to the vesting of 4,166,664 options awarded, respectively.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, approximately $978,085 and $1,035,620 of compensation expense and additional paid-in capital was recorded relating to the vesting of 2,951,394 and 3,124,998 options awarded, respectively.  As of September 30, 2009, there were -0- non-vested shares remained outstanding.  At September 30, 2009, a total of 12,500,000 vested shares remained outstanding with a weighted average price of $0.78 and a weighted average years remaining of 3.125 years.  At September 30, 2009, the aggregate intrinsic value of the stock options issued and vested was $0, as the market value of the underlying stock was below the average exercise price of all options.

Item 2.        Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation.

Certain statements in this Form 10-Q, including, but not limited to, statements made in "Management's Discussion and Analysis," are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are based on management's current expectations and are subject to uncertainty and changes in circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from those included in these statements due to a variety of factors including, but not limited to, those described in Universal Energy Corp.’s 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K under "Risk Factors."

Plan of Operation

We are a small independent energy company engaged in the acquisition and development of crude oil and natural gas leases in the United States.  We pursue oil and gas prospects in partnership with oil and gas companies with exploration, development and production expertise.  Our prospect areas currently consist of land in Louisiana and Texas.

As of September 30, 2009, we have participated in drilling the following wells with the interests and results indicated as follows:

Plugged and abandoned in Dec. 2007
Lone Oak #1
    5.000 %     2.93 %     12,600’  
Plugged and abandoned in July 2008

We plan to grow our business by acquiring (i) low risk in-field oil and gas rights that are primarily developmental in nature that offset existing production and (ii) energy companies that when combined with our management expertise in that area will display strong top line growth and cash flows. As we expand our business we will eventually seek to act as the operator of those properties in which we have an interest.

We believe that we will require additional funds to operate throughout the next 12 months. Furthermore any expansion beyond our current plans, will require additional capital funding. We intend to continue to seek drilling opportunities on the acreage in which we currently have an interest or in other acreage and to consider the possible acquisition of producing properties. We do not have funds to undertake any of these activities and would have to obtain funding from external sources.

We estimate the drilling and completion costs to operate our prospects and our business for the next twelve months are as follows:

Caviar
  $ 200,000  
Amberjack
    125,000  
Lake Campo
    175,000  
Lone Oak #2
    800,000  
General and administrative
    750,000  
Total
  $ 2,050,000  

Since inception, we have funded our operations primarily from private placements of our common stock and debt issuances.  Although we expect that, during the next 12 months, our operating capital needs will be met from our current economic resources and by additional private capital stock transactions, there can be no assurance that funds required will be available on terms acceptable to us or at all. Without additional financing, we do not expect that our current working capital will be able to fund our operations through 2009. If we are unable to raise sufficient funds on terms acceptable to us, we may be unable to complete our business plan. If equity financing is available to us on acceptable terms, it could result in additional dilution to our stockholders.

Daily sales volumes for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 decreased approximately 4 percent and increased 64 percent, respectively.  The increase during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was attributable to the successful completion of the Caviar #1 and Caviar #4 wells that began production in July 2008. In August 2008, the Company’s four producing wells in Louisiana (Caviar #1, Caviar #4, Amberjack and Lake Campo) were shut-in as ordered by the State of Louisiana for storm preparations.  Production facilities at all four wells were damaged during the hurricane.  Caviar #1, Caviar #4 and Amberjack were returned into production in late October 2008.  When Lake Campo was returned to production, excessive water production created disposal well capacity problems and was shut-in after a few days.  A workover on Lake Campo was performed in November 2008 to perforate the Tex W-5 sand which returned the well to production.  Subsequent production volumes after Lake Campo was returned to production were less than before the hurricane which has resulted in a decline from the previous year.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, we recorded $101,331 and $452,791 in gross revenue from sales of natural gas and natural gas liquids compared to $330,226 and $745,231 in the prior year.  The average price received per Mcfe decreased approximately 69 percent and 65 percent for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively, as oil and natural gas prices reached significant highs during June and early July of 2008 and have declined significantly since that time.  Our financial condition and the results of our operations are significantly affected by oil and natural gas commodity prices, which, can fluctuate dramatically.  We experienced a decline in our operating margins in the first quarter of 2009, compared with the same period in 2008, due to a decrease in commodity prices and increases in operating costs.  We anticipate that our margins will continue at these levels until commodity prices remain stable for an extended period of time.

Depletion expense per Mcfe related to oil and gas properties in the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2009 increased as compared with the same period of the prior year as a result of reclassifying our unproven reserves to proven.  Unproven property costs prior to October 1, 2008 were excluded from costs subject to depletion.  The amortization of debt issuance costs relate to the initial fair value of broker warrants issued in connection with certain financings during 2007 and 2008.  These costs were capitalized as debt issuance costs and are were amortized using the effective interest rate method.

Other income (expense) for the three and nine and months ended September 30, 2009 decreased substantially as a result of non-cash adjustments to the fair value of the Company’s derivatives as well as charges relating to the repricing of the 2007 debentures during 2008.  The decrease in excess derivative value and accretion of discounts on convertible debentures in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared to the prior year relate primarily to amortization of remaining debt discounts and deferred financing costs for all of our outstanding debentures. Interest expense was lower in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 than in 2008 due to the lower debt balances during the period.

As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, we have losses from operations, negative cash flows from operations, a substantial stockholders’ deficit and current liabilities that exceed current assets. We may thus not be able to continue as a going concern and fund cash requirements for operations through the next 12 months with current cash reserves. The Company was able to raise additional cash in during 2008 through the sale of the May 2008 Debentures and the October 2008 Debentures.  Notwithstanding success in raising capital, there continues to be substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
 
In view of the matters described in the preceding paragraph, recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet is dependent upon our continued operations, which, in turn, is dependent upon our ability to continue to raise capital and ultimately generate positive cash flows from operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue in existence.

With the exception of 2008, when a decline in the price of our common stock resulted in a substantial increase in non-cash other income, we have incurred substantial net losses each year since inception as a result of drilling costs and general and administrative expenses in support of our operations. We anticipate incurring substantial net losses in the future.
 
Our cash and cash equivalents are limited. In the short term, we will require substantial additional funding prior to March 31, 2010 in order to maintain our current level of operations.  If we are unable to raise additional funding, we will be forced to either substantially scale back our business operations or curtail our business operations entirely.
 
On a longer term basis, we anticipate generating our revenues from the sale of oil and gas products from our proven oil and gas wells in Louisiana.  Our future cash requirements will depend on many factors, including the pace and scope of our drilling programs, the costs involved in replacing depleted reserves, and other costs associated with growing our oil and gas operations. We intend to seek additional funding primarily through public or private financing transactions.  If we are unable to raise additional funds, we will be forced to either scale back our business efforts or curtail our business activities entirely.  We anticipate that our available cash and expected income will be sufficient to finance most of our current activities for at least four months from the date we file these financial statements, although certain of these activities and related personnel may need to be reduced.  We cannot assure you that public or private financing will be available on acceptable terms, if at all.  Several factors will affect our ability to raise additional funding, including, but not limited to, the volatility of our common stock.

Variables and Trends
 
We have a limited operating history with respect to our acquisition and development of oil and gas properties. In the event we are able to obtain the necessary financing to move forward with our business plan, we expect our expenses to increase significantly as we grow our business. Accordingly, the comparison of the financial data for the periods presented may not be a meaningful indicator of our future performance and must be considered in light of these circumstances.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
We are engaged in the exploration, exploitation, development, acquisition, and production of natural gas and crude oil.  Our discussion of financial condition and results of operations is based upon the information reported in our consolidated financial statements.  The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make assumptions and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of our financial statements.  We base our decisions affecting the estimates we use on historical experience and various other sources that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.  Actual results may differ from the estimates we calculate due to changes in business conditions or unexpected circumstances.  Policies we believe are critical to understanding our business operations and results of operations are detailed below.  For additional information on our significant accounting policies refer to Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Note 4 - Oil and Gas Properties of this report.

Oil and gas reserve quantities.  Estimated reserve quantities and the related estimates of future net cash flows are critical estimates for an exploration and production company because they affect the perceived value of our Company, are used in comparative financial analysis ratios and are used as the basis for the most significant accounting estimates in our financial statements.  The significant accounting estimates include the periodic calculations of depletion, depreciation and impairment of our proved oil and gas properties.  Future cash inflows and future production and development costs are determined by applying benchmark prices and costs, including transportation, quality, and basis differentials, in effect at the end of each period to the estimated quantities of oil and gas remaining to be produced as of the end of that period.  Expected cash flows are reduced to present value using a discount rate that depends upon the purpose for which the reserve estimates will be used.  For example, the standardized measure calculation requires a ten percent discount rate to be applied.  Although reserve estimates are inherently imprecise, and estimates of new discoveries and undeveloped locations are more imprecise than those of established producing oil and gas properties, we make a considerable effort in estimating our reserves, including using independent reserve engineering consultants.  We expect that periodic reserve estimates will change in the future as additional information becomes available or as oil and gas prices and operating and capital costs change.  We evaluate and estimate our oil and gas reserves at December 31 of each year.  For purposes of depletion, depreciation, and impairment, reserve quantities are adjusted at all interim periods for the estimated impact of additions and dispositions.  Changes in depletion, depreciation, or impairment calculations caused by changes in reserve quantities or net cash flows are recorded in the period that the reserve estimates change.

Revenue recognition.  Our revenue recognition policy is significant because revenue is anticipated to be a key component of our results of operations and our forward-looking statements contained in our analyses of liquidity and capital resources.  Each month we record revenue based on the actual sales of crude oil and natural gas.  The estimates we make relate to the average price received throughout the month for those sales.  As the production is relatively steady throughout the month, the estimates for the price received for those sales are relatively accurate as the daily prices for the oil and natural gas sold are readily available. Variances between our estimates and the actual amounts received are recorded in the month payment is received. 

Asset retirement obligations.  We are required to recognize an estimated liability for future costs associated with the abandonment of our oil and gas properties.  We base our estimate of the liability on our historical experience in abandoning oil and gas wells projected into the future based on our current understanding of federal and state regulatory requirements.  Our present value calculations require us to estimate the economic lives of our properties, assume what future inflation rates apply to external estimates, and determine what credit adjusted risk-free rate to use.  The impact to the consolidated statement of operations from these estimates is reflected in our depreciation, depletion, and amortization calculations and occurs over the remaining life of our oil and gas properties.

 
22

 

Full Cost Method. Generally accepted accounting principles provide for two alternative methods for the oil and gas industry to use in accounting for oil and gas producing activities.  These two methods are generally known in our industry as the full cost method and the successful efforts method.  Both methods are widely used.  The methods are different enough that in many circumstances the same set of facts will provide materially different financial statement results within a given year.  We have chosen the full cost method of accounting for our oil and gas producing activities, and a detailed description is included in Note 4 – Oil and gas properties of Part I of this report.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards
 
Please see Note 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in Part I, Item 1 of this report for accounting matters.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

Environmental

Universal Energy Corp.’s compliance with applicable environmental regulations has not resulted in any significant capital expenditures or materially adverse effects to our liquidity or results of operations.  We believe we are in substantial compliance with environmental regulations and do not currently foresee that material expenditures will be required in the future.  However, we are unable to predict the impact that future compliance with regulations may have on future capital expenditures, liquidity, and results of operations.

ITEM 4 - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Not applicable.

ITEM 4T - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as of September 30, 2009.  In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

Based on our evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as a result of the material weaknesses described below, our disclosure controls and procedures are not designed at a reasonable assurance level and are ineffective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is not accumulated nor communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The material weaknesses, which relate to internal control over financial reporting, that were identified are:

 
·
We did not have sufficient personnel in our accounting and financial reporting functions.  As a result, we were not able to achieve adequate segregation of duties and were not able to provide for adequate reviewing of the financial statements. This control deficiency, which is pervasive in nature, results in a reasonable possibility that material misstatements of the financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis; and
 
·
We did not maintain sufficient personnel with an appropriate level of technical accounting knowledge, experience, and training in the application of US GAAP commensurate with our complexity and our financial accounting and reporting requirements. This control deficiency is pervasive in nature and specifically resulted in us restating previously filed annual and quarterly financial statements as a result of errors in the accounting for convertible debentures and warrants. Further, there is a reasonable possibility that material misstatements of the consolidated financial statements including disclosures will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis as a result.

Management believes that hiring additional knowledgeable personnel with technical accounting expertise will remedy the material weaknesses. Due to the fact that our accounting staff consists of a Chief Financial Officer and accounting clerk, additional personnel will also ensure the proper segregation of duties and provide more checks and balances within the department. We believe this will greatly decrease any control and procedure issues we may encounter in the future. To compensate for the current limited number of personnel in the accounting and reporting group, we focus on audit committee oversight and the use of external consultants for complex accounting matters. Furthermore, we will continue to engage consultants in the future as necessary in order to ensure proper accounting treatment of complex transactions.
 
Management will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and are committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow. As part of this commitment, we will continue to assess our current personnel resources and technical accounting expertise within the accounting function. As our activities levels increase, we will look to increase our personnel resources to increase segregation of duties and provide in-house non-routine or complex accounting expertise. When funds are available to us and as operations increase, we will hire additional knowledgeable personnel with technical accounting expertise to further support our current accounting personnel, which management estimates could cost approximately $100,000 per annum.

 
24

 

(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting.

We regularly review our system of internal control over financial reporting and make changes to our processes and systems to improve controls and increase efficiency, while ensuring that we maintain an effective internal control environment. Changes may include such activities as implementing new, more efficient systems, consolidating activities, and migrating processes.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.
Legal Proceedings.

On September 1, 2009, the Company was served with a verified complaint captioned Roswell Capital Partners, LLC, as Collateral Agent; Bridgepointe Master Fund Ltd. vs. Universal Energy Corp.; Universal Explorations Corp.; UT Holdings, Inc.; Universal Energy Services Corp; and John Does 1-10 (the "Complaint"). The Complaint, which was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, relates to the investment made by the plaintiffs (the "Secured Lenders") during 2007 in convertible debentures of the Company (the "Debentures"). The Debentures are secured by certain assets of the Company and its subsidiaries.
 
The lawsuit asserts breaches of the various documents executed by the Company and its subsidiaries in connection with the issuance of the Debentures. In addition to monetary damages, the lawsuit seeks a determination that the Secured Lenders hold a valid lien in certain assets of the Company, seeks an order of foreclosure relating to assets subject to valid lien and the appointment of a receiver.
 
While the Company is hopeful that a satisfactory resolution of this matter will be achieved, no assurance can be given at this time that this will occur, in which case, if successful in this lawsuit, the Secured Lenders would materially adversely affect the Company's business.
