Glossary of Exploration Terms
=============================
The following terms, when used in this report, have the respective meanings
specified below:
AFE Authority For Expenditure - form used when wells are
drilled by multiple parties to determine the good faith
anticipated cost of the subject well and to specify each
of the partners expected financial contribution to the
drilling and completion costs.
APO After payout - terms of revenue sharing under which the
participants receive the proceeds of the well following
the point where all costs have been reimbursed including
acquisition, drilling and completion.
Back-in The reversionary interest of a farmor, lessor or of an
assignor of a lease whereunder the farmer, lessor or
assignor is to become entitled to a specific share of
the working interest when specified costs have been
recovered from production.
BOE Barrels of oil equivalent; converting volumes of natural
gas to oil equivalent volumes using a ratio of six Mcf
of natural gas to one Bbl of oil. BOPD Barrels of oil
per day.
BPO Before Payout - terms of revenue sharing under which the
participants receive the proceeds of the well up to the
point where all costs have been reimbursed including
acquisition, drilling and completion.
Completion The installation of permanent equipment for the
production of oil or gas.
Development Well A well drilled within the proved area of an oil or gas
reservoir to the depth of a stratigraphic horizon known
to be productive.
Drill Spacing The area prescribed by applicable well spacing
Units (DSUs) regulations for the granting of a permit for the
drilling of a well; the area of land assigned in the
granting of a well permit; the area in which it has been
determined by regulation that one well can efficiently
drain. The size of the DSU may vary from 10 acres in oil
fields to 640 acres (one section) in gas fields.
3
Dry Hole or Dry Well A well found to be incapable of producing hydrocarbons
in sufficient quantities such that proceeds from the
sale of such production exceed production expenses and
taxes.
Exploratory Well A well drilled to find and produce oil or gas
reserves not classified as proved, to find a new
production reservoir in a field previously found to be
productive of oil or gas in another reservoir or to
extend a known reservoir.
Farm-In See Farm-out (following)
Farm-Out An agreement pursuant to which the owner of a working
interest in an oil and gas lease assigns the working
interest or a portion hereof to another party who
desires to drill on the leased acreage. Generally, the
assignee is required to drill one or more wells in order
to earn its interest in the acreage. The assignor
usually retains a royalty or reversionary interest in
the lease. The interest received by an assignee is a
"farm-in" and the assignor issues a "farm-out."
Infill Drilling The drilling of an additional well or wells provided for
by an existing spacing order to more adequately drain a
reservoir.
Mcfg/D Thousand cubic feet of gas per day - the standard unit
for measuring the volume of natural gas from a well or
line; MMcf is one million cubic feet (also Mcf, Bcf
(billion), Tcf (trillion)).
Operator The individual or company responsible for the
exploration, development and production of an oil or gas
well or lease.
PSI Pounds per square inch - an indication of the degree of
pressure.
Reserves Refers to proved reserves only.
RoFeR Right of First Refusal
Royalty An interest in an oil and gas lease that gives the owner
of the interest the right to receive a portion of the
production from the leased acreage (or of the proceeds
of the sale thereof), but generally does not require the
owner to pay any portion of the costs of drilling or
operating the wells on the leased acreage. Royalties may
be either landowner's royalties, which are reserved by
the owner of the leased acreage at the time the lease is
granted, or overriding royalties, which are usually
reserved by an owner of the leasehold in connection with
a transfer to a subsequent owner.
Working Interest An interest in an oil and gas lease that gives the owner
of the interest the right to drill for and produce oil
and gas on the leased acreage and requires the owner to
pay a share of the costs of drilling and production
operations. The share of production to which a working
interest owner is entitled will always be smaller than
the share of costs that the working interest owner is
required to bear, with the balance of the production
accruing to the owners of royalties.

Description of Business
=======================
Overview
========
We were incorporated as Paradigm Enterprises, Inc. in the state of Nevada on
July 15, 2002. On February 7, 2005 we changed our name to Paradigm Oil And Gas,
Inc. On January 28, 2010, Paradigm Oil & Gas Inc. entered into a Share exchange
agreement with the shareholders of Intergrated Oil and Gas Solutions Inc. (the
"Acquired Company") a Texas corporation. The Transaction was considered to be a
reverse acquisition. The acquisition date now becomes the inception date of the
Company.
From July, 2002 to December, 2004, we were in the business of the exploration
and development of a mineral property of approximately 1,236 acres in size in
south-western, British Columbia. The property was without known reserves and our
program was exploratory in nature. The Board of Directors decided to abandon its
interest in this mineral property on August 26, 2005.
We are now engaged in the exploration, development, acquisition and operation of
oil and gas properties. Because oil and gas exploration and development requires
significant capital and our assets and resources are limited, we participate in
the oil and gas industry through the purchase of small interests in either
producing wells or oil and gas exploration and development projects.
From January 28, 2010, the date of the reverse acquisition, the Company now
holds 100% working interests in certain oil and gas leases along with certain
Oil and Gas production equipment in the State of Texas, USA., and is now engaged
in the rework and development of those properties.
Business of Issuer
We are an exploration company focused on developing North American oil and
natural gas reserves. Our current focus is on the exploration of our land
portfolio comprised of working interests in highly prospective acreage in the
State of Texas and in the Southern Alberta Foothills area in Canada; and North
Central Alberta, Canada.
We have not been involved in any bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceeding.
Other than the reverse acquisition on January 28, 2010, when the acquisition
date became the inception date of the Company, there has not been any material
reclassification or merger, consolidation or purchase or sale of a significant
amount of assets not in the ordinary course of business.
OUR CURRENT BUSINESS
--------------------
PETROLEUM EXPLORATION, DEVELOPMENT AND RECOVERY
Effective January 28, 2010, Paradigm Oil & Gas Inc. entered into a Share
exchange agreement with the shareholders of Intergrated Oil and Gas Solutions
Inc. (the "Acquired Company") a Texas corporation, whereby the Company has
issued 42,000,000, US$.001 Par value common shares to unrelated shareholders in
exchange for their one hundred percent (100%) interest in all of the capital
stock of the Acquired company. The Acquired company is now a 100% owned
subsidiary of the Company.
The Acquired Company holds 100% working interests in certain oil and gas leases
along with certain Oil and Gas production equipment. The costs to acquire these
assets have amounted to $541,538.90. These costs have been capitalized on the
acquired company's books at cost as Oil and Gas Properties under Lease.
5
The oil and gas properties are comprised of 4 leases totaling approximately nine
hundred and thirty four (934) net mineral Acres, all located in the State of
Texas, USA. 692 acres in Kaufman County, carry a 80% Net Revenue Interest, 40
acres located in the County of Wood, carry a 80% Net Revenue Interest, 122.37
acres located in the County of Henderson carry a 81.25% Net Revenue Interest and
80 acres in the County of Wichita carry a 75% Net Revenue Interest. Combined
there are a total of 9 existing previously producing wells and available spacing
to support the drilling of approximately 30 new wells in the 3800' to 9000'
range and approximately 50 new wells in the 800' to 1,800' range.
On June 22, 2010 the Company's subsidiary, Intergrated Oil and Gas Solutions
Inc. acquired the Corsicana lease. The cost to acquire this lease amounted to $
20,700 for a 50% working interest in the 80% Net Revenue Interest. The lease has
9 previously producing wells and have spacing over a total of 60 acres to
support the potential of 17 new wells to depths of up to 2000 feet. The
Corsicana lease is located in Navarro County, Texas.
On June 25, 2010 the Company's subsidiary, Intergrated Oil and Gas Solutions
Inc. acquired 2 additional Chilson leases, known as Chilson B. The cost to
acquire these leases amounted to $ 17,977 for a 100% working interest in the 81%
Net Revenue Interest. Combined the 2 leases have 5 previously producing wells
and have spacing over a total of 154 acres to support the potential of 37 new
wells to depths of up to 2000 feet. The new Chilson leases are adjacent to the
existing Chilson lease the Company has which are all located in Wichita County,
Texas.
On May 20, 2010 the Company's subsidiary, Paradigm Integrated Technology
Solutions Inc., entered into a Transfer of Technology and Know How Agreement for
the world wide marketing rights for the Transportable Enhanced Oil Recovery
Platform. Under the terms of the agreement the Company agreed to purchase the
first system which includes the exclusive ownership in the related technology
and know how. $ 50,000 was paid on signing the agreement and $50,000 was to be
paid within thirty days of signing the agreement towards the purchase of the
first system and an additional $ 50,000 on delivery of the equipment. To date
the Company has paid $ 161,471 towards this program and has taken delivery of
the first system. In addition, the purchase of the next 10 systems carry an
additional $ 10,000 charge per system above the list purchase price of the
system for a total of $ 100,000, however the Company is under no obligation to
purchase further systems. The first system was received on September 29, 2010
and has been fully tested and is now commissioned for production use which is
occurring in the 4th quarter.
The Transportable Enhanced Oil Recovery Platform is a portable production system
than can be easily and economically moved from well to well and quickly
installed to remove Oil from the existing well bore. This allows for quick Oil
recovery without the time and expense currently required to implement the
infrastructure need to produce Oil today. By utilizing this system, wells can be
produced from immediately and monitored as to flow rates to determine which
wells are suitable for making additional investment for a more permanent
operational infastructure. The company has begun to utilize this technology on
its existing properties and is in the process to introduce this technology to
the market place.
BUSINESS PRIOR TO ACQUISITION ON JANUARY 28, 2010
Petroleum exploration
---------------------
On December 06, 2004, we entered into two participation proposal agreements with
Win Energy Corporation ("Win"), an arms-length Calgary, Alberta based private
corporation whereby the Corporation could acquire an interest in two oil and gas
drilling projects in Alberta, Canada for the payment of a total of $506,014
(subsequently reduced to $358,756 with the sale of half of the interest back to
Win in June, 2005). On January 25, 2005, the Corporation concluded final
payments and finalized the agreements. In 2007 Win was acquired by Compton
Petroleum Corporation ("Compton"). From hereon all references will be made to
Compton.

HILLSPRINGS PROPERTY
Paradigm paid $207,383 to Compton to acquire a 5% working interest in one
section (640 acres) in the Hillsprings Property (Township 10, Range 34, Section
29 W4), Alberta, Canada. In 2008, due to the low prices for natural gas and the
lack of sustainable production from the property we took an impairment charge
against the Todd Creek property and wrote the value down to 0.
TODD CREEK PROPERTY
Paradigm paid $298,631 to Compton to acquire a 10% working interest in 13.75
sections (8800 acres) in the Todd Creek Property, Alberta, Canada. In June,
2005, we sold 50% of our interest back to Compton for net proceeds of $127,349
(value of the interest less certain unpaid operating expenses) as of the date of
this report, Paradigm holds a 5% in the Todd Creek property and has paid a net
cost of $149,316 to acquire its interest.
During the second quarter of 2005, a well located in Todd Creek property was
drilled to a specifically targeted depth. This well is located in 13-28-9-2W5 in
Alberta, Canada and we will refer to this well as the "13-28 well." The 13-28
well was evaluated and tested. The operator encountered gas reservoirs and
concluded that this well is a potential gas well. This well was tied into a
newly constructed gas processing plant and production commenced in September
2006. To date we have received no revenue from this well due to the fact we owe
Compton drilling costs.
In January 2007, we completed the drilling of a second well in the Todd Creek
Prospect located in 13-33-8-2 in Alberta, Canada and we will refer to this well
as the "13-33 well." Reports by other farmin partners indicate that no economic
hydrocarbons are present. We are delinquent in our payments to Compton. Until we
are current on our payments we will not receive any further information
regarding the property. In 2008, due to the low prices for natural gas and the
lack of sustainable production from the property we took an impairment charge
against the Todd Creek property and wrote the value down to 0.
SAWN LAKE PROJECT
On February 15, 2005 Paradigm entered into a Farmout and Option Agreement with
1132559 Alberta Ltd., a private Alberta corporation whereby Paradigm will farm
in to a 5% interest in a test well at Township 91, Range 13 Section 36 W5M SE ,
and a similar interest in an additional option well at Township 91, Range 12,
Section 29 W5M NW in the Sawn Lake, Alberta oil and gas project. Paradigm will
also have a right of first refusal to participate in each drilling spacing unit
through a farm-in on the lands held by Deep Well Oil and Gas in the Sawn Lake
project in which 1132559 Alberta Ltd has an interest. The final terms of the
option for the additional DSUs are yet to be agreed upon by both parties.
Paradigm will earn 100% of the farmor's interest (an undivided 10% interest in
the drilling spacing unit) before payout (BPO), reverting to 50% of the farmor's
interest (an undivided 5% interest) after payout (APO). Paradigm will have
earned a 5% interest in the remaining wells to be drilled in that drilling
spacing unit.
In order to earn its interest in the initial test well, total costs of the test
well, estimated to be CA $216,489, up to the point of commercial oil sales are
to be borne one hundred percent (100%) by Paradigm. Total costs, estimated to be
CA $216,489, of the option well up to the point of commercial oil sales are also
to be borne one hundred percent (100%) by Paradigm in order to earn its
undivided interest. Payment of the full AFE amount is due upon invoicing of
Paradigm by the operator (1132559 Alberta Ltd.) for each of the test and option
wells. Paradigm is a full participant in the well. 1132559 Alberta Ltd. claims
Paradigm is in default and they are not a participant in the well. Due to the
ongoing dispute the cost of defending the Companies rights to the Sawn Lake
property may cost more than the value of the property. In 2008 the Company took
an impairment charge against the Sawn Lake property and wrote the value down to
0.
Item 1(A) Risk Factors
Market for Our Products and Services
7
Each oil and gas property that we now own and those that we may later acquire a
percentage of interest in, will have an operator who will be responsible for
marketing production.
The availability of a ready market for oil and gas, and the prices of such oil
and gas, depends upon a number of factors, which are beyond our control. These
include, among other things:
o the level of domestic production;
o actions taken by foreign oil and gas producing nations;
o the availability of pipelines with adequate capacity;
o the availability and marketing of other competitive fuels;
o fluctuating and seasonal demand for oil, gas and refined products;
and
o the extent of governmental regulation and taxation (under both
present and future legislation) of the production, importation,
refining, transportation, pricing, use and allocation of oil, gas,
refined products and alternative fuels.
In view of the many uncertainties affecting the supply and demand for crude oil,
gas and refined petroleum products, it is not possible to predict accurately the
prices or marketability of the gas and oil produced for sale.
Competition
The oil producing properties and exploratory drilling prospects, and gas
industry is highly competitive in all its phases. Properties in which we have an
interest will encounter strong competition from many other oil and gas
producers, including many that possess substantial financial resources, in
acquiring economically desirable producing properties and exploratory drilling
prospects, and in obtaining equipment and labor to operate and maintain their
properties.
Patents, Licenses, Trademarks, Franchises, Concessions, Royalty Agreements, or
Labor Contracts
We do not own, either legally or beneficially, any patent or trademark.
Research and Development
We did not incur any research and development expenditures for the period ended
from January 28, 2010 (inception) to December 31, 2010.
Existing and Probable Governmental Regulation
We monitor and comply with current government regulations that affect our
activities, although our operations may be adversely affected by changes in
government policy, regulations or taxation. There can be no assurance that we
will be able to obtain all of the necessary licenses and permits that may be
required to carry out our exploration and development programs. It is not
expected that any of these controls or regulations will affect our operations in
a manner materially different than they would affect other natural gas and oil
companies operating in the areas in which we operate.
8
Canadian Government Regulation and US State of Texas Regulation
The natural gas and oil industry is subject to extensive controls and
regulations imposed by various levels of government. It is not expected that any
of these controls or regulations will affect our operations in a manner
materially different than they would affect other natural gas and oil companies
of similar size.
Pricing and Marketing Natural Gas
In the United States in the State of Texas, we are focused on Oil production.
Oil is sold to refineries at spot prices. In Canada, the price of natural gas
sold in interprovincial and international trade is determined by negotiation
between buyers and sellers. Natural gas exported from Canada is subject to
regulation by the NEB and the Government of Canada. Exporters are free to
negotiate prices and other terms with purchasers, provided that the export
contracts continue to meet certain criteria prescribed by the NEB and the
Government of Canada. Natural gas exports for a term of less than two years or
for a term of two to 20 years (in quantities of not more than 30,000 m3/day),
must be made pursuant to an NEB order. Any natural gas export to be made
pursuant to a contract of longer duration (to a maximum of 25 years) or a larger
quantity requires an exporter to obtain an export license from the NEB and the
issue of such a license requires the approval of the Governor in Council.
The government of Alberta also regulates the volume of natural gas that may be
removed from the province for consumption elsewhere based on such factors as
reserve availability, transportation arrangements and market considerations.
Royalties and Incentives
In addition to federal regulation, each province has legislation and regulations
that govern land tenure, royalties, production rates, environmental protection
and other matters. The royalty regime is a significant factor in the
profitability of natural gas and oil production. Royalties payable on production
from lands other than Crown lands are determined by negotiations between the
mineral owner and the lessee. Crown royalties are determined by government
regulation and are generally calculated as a percentage of the value of the
gross production, and the rate of royalties payable generally depends in part on
prescribed reference prices, well productivity, geographical location, field
discovery date and the type or quality of the petroleum product produced. In the
United States in the State of Texas, mineral rights owners usually have a
royalty paid to them which range from 5-25% of net revenue.
Land Tenure
Crude natural gas and oil located in the western provinces is owned
predominantly by the respective provincial governments. Provincial governments
grant rights to explore for and produce natural gas and oil pursuant to leases,
licenses and permits for varying terms from two years and on conditions set
forth in provincial legislation including requirements to perform specific work
or make payments. Natural gas and oil located in such provinces can also be
privately owned and rights to explore for and produce such natural gas and oil
are granted by lease on such terms and conditions as may be negotiated.
In the United States in the State of Texas, mineral owners sell and lease those
rights to Operators who provide the infrastructure and support to develop and
produce from the property. Leases usually remain in effect as long as work is
being performed on the property or they are held by production.
Compliance with Environmental Laws
We did not incur any costs in connection with the compliance with any federal,
state, or local environmental laws. However, costs could occur at any time
through industrial accident or in connection with a terrorist act or a new
project. Costs could extend into the millions of dollars for which we could be
totally liable. In the event of liability, we would be entitled to contribution
from other owners so that our percentage share of a particular project would be
the percentage share of our liability on that project. However, other owners may
not be willing or able to share in the cost of the liability. Even if liability
is limited to our percentage share, any significant liability would wipe out our
assets and resources.
9
On June 18, 2009 the Canadian government passed the new Environmental
Enforcement Act ("EEA"). The EEA was created to strengthen and amend nine
existing Statutes that relate to the environment and to enact provisions
respecting the enforcement of certain Statutes that relate to the environment.
The EEA amends various enforcement, offence, penalty and sentencing provisions
to deter offenders from committing offences under the EEA by setting minimum and
maximum fines for serious offences. The EEA also gives enforcement officers new
powers to investigate cases and grants courts new sentencing authorities that
ensure penalties reflect the seriousness of the pollution and wildlife offences.
The EEA also expands the authority to deal with environmental offenders by: 1.)
specifying aggravating factors such as causing damage to wildlife or wildlife
habitat, or causing damage that is extensive, persistent or irreparable; 2.)
providing fine ranges higher for corporate offenders than for individuals; 3.)
doubling fine ranges for repeat offenders; 4.) authorizing the suspension and
cancellation of licenses, permits or other authorizations upon conviction; 5.)
requiring corporate offenders to report convictions to shareholders; and 6.)
mandating the reporting of corporate offences on a public registry.
Going Concern
The Company's significant operating losses raise substantial doubt about the
ability to continue as a going concern. Inherent in the Company's business are
various risks and uncertainties, including its limited operating history,
historical operating losses, dependence upon strategic alliances, and the
historical success rate of oil and gas exploration. Management's plan is to
acquire interests in certain oil and gas properties with production and to
rework existing wells to bring them on line for production.
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has incurred a
net loss of $2,491,991 for the period ending December 31, 2010 from January 28,
2010 (inception) through December 31, 2010. The Company has no revenue. The
Company's future success is primarily dependent upon the existence of oil and
gas in quantities which are commercially viable to produce, on properties for
which the Company owns a working interest or an option to acquire an interest
and/or through its successful deployment of the Company's Transportable Enhanced
Oil Recovery Platform (T-EOR) and the Joint Venture Production Program. The
Company's success will also be dependent upon its ability to raise sufficient
capital to fund its rework and exploration programs and, to exploit the
discovery on a timely and cost-effective basis.

support the potential of 17 new wells to depths of up to 2000 feet. The
Corsicana lease is located in Navarro County, Texas.
On June 30, 2010 the Company's subsidiary, Intergrated Oil and Gas Solutions
Inc. acquired 2 additional Chilson leases, known as Chilson B. The cost to
acquire these leases amounted to $ 17,977 for a 100% working interest in the 81%
Net Revenue Interest. Combined the 2 leases have 5 previously producing wells
and have spacing over a total of 154 acres to support the potential of 37 new
wells to depths of up to 2000 feet. The new Chilson leases are adjacent to the
existing Chilson lease the Company has which are all located in Wichita County,
Texas.
PETROLEUM PROPERTIES PRIOR TO JANUARY 28, 2010
----------------------------------------------
HILLSPRINGS
In December 2004, we entered into a participation proposal with Compton
Corporation whereby we could acquire an interest in the Hillsprings exploratory
oil and gas drilling project about 100 miles south of Calgary in the Alberta
foothills for the payment of a total of $207,383 excluding drilling costs. We
acquired a 5% interest in one section (640 acres) of land located at Section 34,
Township 5, Range 29 W4M. In 2008, due to the low prices for natural gas and the
lack of sustainable production from the property we took an impairment charge
against the Todd Creek property and wrote the value down to 0.
TODD
In December 2004, we entered into a second participation proposal with Compton
whereby we could acquire an interest in the Todd exploratory oil and gas
drilling project also about 100 miles south of Calgary in the foothills of the
Rocky Mountains for the payment of a total of $298,631 including drilling costs.
On January 25, 2005, we concluded final payments and finalized the agreements
whereby we acquired a 10% interest in 13.75 sections (8800 acres) of land
located at Section 16, Township 9, Range 2 W5 and an option to December 31, 2006
to earn a 7.5% interest in an additional seven sections 4480 acres) in the
surrounding area by contributing 10% of the drilling costs. Contributions to
each well drilled will earn an interest in two sections. On June 18, 2005, the
Corporation received a net payment of CA $117,442.50 from Compton Corporation
for the sale of 50% of Paradigm's 10% interest in the Todd Creek Oil and Gas
Property to Win, the original vendor. Paradigm now holds a 5% interest in the
Todd Creek 13-28 well.
On June 27, 2005, we announced that drilling of the Todd Creek Well had been
moved into the final completion stage which may take up to 50 days to complete.
The operators have placed the well on "tight hole" status and further news will
be released upon completion of testing. As of the date of this report, that
status continues; we will release further information as it comes available.
"Tight hole" is a petroleum industry term used colloquially in which the
performance data of a well is closely guarded. During this period, all
information about the well - depth, formations, drilling rates, logs and other
pertinent data - is not shared or made public. We have not been given any
further information regarding the Todd Creek property as we are delinquent in
our payments to Compton.
11
A test well drilled in Section 16, Township 9, Range 2 W5 is included in the
transaction, the results of which have not been released. Further details will
be provided once the tight hole status has been lifted. The next proposed well
will likely be drilled at location 13-28-9-2W5 with anticipated production from
two reservoirs. Estimates indicate initial potential daily production could
reach 400 barrels of oil equivalent per day based upon the flow rates from
adjacent and similarly structured wells. It is anticipated that it will require
more than 20 such wells to fully exploit the reservoirs in the project area.
Producing wells in the area typically are of long life with minimal declines.
The gas is sweet with minimal sulfur or CO2 and generally receives excellent
prices. Existing wells on the Todd Creek prospect typically produce at depths
between 1,600 and 1,900 meters.
We are delinquent in our payments to Compton. Until we are current on our
payments we will not receive any further information regarding the property. In
2008, due to the low prices for natural gas and the lack of sustainable
production from the property we took an impairment charge against the Todd Creek
property and wrote the value down to 0.
SAWN LAKE
On February 18, 2005, we announced that we have farmed into a 10% interest in a
major heavy oil exploratory project located the Sawn Lake area of the Peace
River region of Alberta in a project owned by 1132559 Alta. Ltd. The general
terms of the farm-in agreement is that Paradigm will pay 10% to earn the full
10% interest until payout, and will retain 5% interest after payout. Paradigm's
participation in any subsequent wells in that Drilling Spacing Unit (DSU) will
be at 5% to earn an equal 5% interest. The first well will be drilled on DSU
located at Township 91, Range 13 W5M, SE Section 36. Paradigm has also
negotiated participation in another well in Township 91, Range 12 W5M, NW
Section 29 under the same terms. Furthermore, Paradigm will have the option to
participate in all future 1132559 Alta. Ltd.'s interests in Sawn Lake wells
under terms to be negotiated.
Other operators targeting the deeper Slave Point Formation have previously
drilled much of the land. Because of the earlier extensive exploration for
deeper light oil, Sawn Lake project is able to benefit from data collected by
others pertaining to the drilling of 67 wells that penetrated and partially
delineated the Bluesky Formation heavy oil reservoir.
This acquisition is in line and consistent with Paradigm's investment strategy
to acquire small interests in a variety of domestic and international upstream
oil and gas projects to develop a high impact and diversified portfolio. Due to
the ongoing dispute the cost of defending the Companies rights to the Sawn Lake
property may cost more than the value of the property. In 2008 the Company took
an impairment charge against the Sawn Lake property and wrote the value down to
0.
Oil and Gas Reserve Analyses
Currently the leases that have been acquired have not been developed in a way
that allows our Petroleum Engineers to assign estimated net proved oil and gas
reserves and the present value of estimated cash flows from those reserves. The
Company is currently performing work on the Chilson property Lease to provide
the required information of logging each well to provide the information to the
Petroleum Engineers and bringing it back into production. The Company currently
has no proved reserves on the leases. The Company is currently working to
establish reserves.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
We know of no material, active or pending legal proceedings against our company,
nor are we involved as a plaintiff in any material proceeding or pending
litigation. There are no proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or
affiliates, or any registered or beneficial shareholder, is an adverse party or
has a material interest adverse to our interest.

Overview
========
We were incorporated as Paradigm Enterprises, Inc. in the state of Nevada on

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of the period ended from January 28, 2010 (inception) to December 31, 2010,
we have yet to generate any revenues from our business operations.
Since our inception we have used our common stock, and entered into convertible
loan agreements to raise capital for our operational and corporate expenses,
retire debt, lease acquisitions and for the purchase of equipment and other
capital. Net cash provided by financing activities from inception on January 28,
2010 to December 31, 2010 amounted $ 734,918 as a result of proceeds received
loans converted to shares our common stock, $ 36,521 from net advances from an
officer/ shareholder loan and $ 142,500 from a convertible note.
On September 28, 2010 the convertible note in the amount of $734,918 was
converted at $ 0.35 per share for a total of 2,099,768 Common Shares at a par
value of $ 2,100. Additional paid in capital increased by $ 690,823. The share
price was $ 0.33 on the closing of this transaction, as a result a gain of $

and oil and gas properties, were stated at $ 820,295. Our total liabilities
amounted to $ 484,707.
Working capital stood at $ (277,824). Management continues to source additional
financing and analyze Oil production acquisitions to support the Company's cash
requirements during the Company's development phase. There are no assurances
that the Company will be successful with these initiatives.
For the period ended from January 28, 2010 (inception) to December 31, 2010, our
net loss was $ 2,477,707 ($0.05) per share. The loss per share was based on a
period weighted average of 45,956,889 common shares outstanding.
Plan of Operation
=================
For the current fiscal year we will concentrate our efforts on our projects in
the petroleum sector.
The Company will continue to rework the current wells that have been acquired on
the leases the Company controls. Furthermore effort will be spent on marketing
and signing agreements that utilize the Transportable Enhanced Oil Recovery
Portable Platform to generate revenue.
We do not expect any changes or more hiring of employees since contracts will be
given to consultants and sub-contractor specialists in specific fields of
expertise for the exploration work.
Following industry trends and demands, we are also considering the acquisition
of other petroleum properties or an interest in such projects. In either
situation, a new public offering would be needed. We are delinquent in our
payments to Compton and will not receive any further information until full
payment is made.
19
Future Operations
=================
Presently, our revenues are not sufficient to meet operating and capital
expenses. We have incurred operating losses since inception, and this is likely
to continue through fiscal 2011. Management forecasts that we will require
additional capital to fund our ongoing operating expenses and working capital
requirements for the next twelve months.
We plan to raise the additional capital required to meet the balance of our
estimated funding requirements for the next twelve months, primarily through the
private placement of our securities, loans, the sale of interests in successful
projects and/or through cash flows. We do not anticipate that we will be able to
satisfy any of these funding requirements internally until we significantly
increase our revenues.
There can be no assurance that the Company would be successful in raising
additional capital to funds these operations.
Critical Accounting Policies
----------------------------
Our financial statements were prepared in conformity with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles. As such, management is required to make certain
estimates, judgments and assumptions that they believe are reasonable based upon
the information available. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of income and expense during the periods presented. The
significant accounting policies which management believes are the most critical
to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results
include the following:
The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued authoritative guidance
on the FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") and the hierarchy of
generally accepted accounting principles, codified in ASC 105, Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles. The codification was effective for interim or
annual periods ending after September 15, 2009, and impacted the Company's
financial statement disclosures beginning with the year ending December 31, 2009
as all future references to authoritative accounting literature will be
referenced in accordance with the Codification.
The FASB has issued authoritative guidance on Non-controlling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements. The new codification code is ASC 810,
Consolidation. This statement changes the way the consolidated income statement
is presented when non-controlling interests are present. It requires
consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts
attributable to both the parent and the non-controlling interest. The
implementation of this pronouncement did not have a significant impact on the
financial statements of the Company.
The FASB has issued authoritative guidance on Business Combinations. The new
codification code is ASC 805, Business Combinations. This statement retains the
fundamental requirements that the acquisition method of accounting be used, and
applies to all business entities, including mutual entities that previously used
the pooling of interest method of accounting for some business combinations. The
implementation of this pronouncement did not have a significant impact on the
financial statements the Company.
The FASB has issued authoritative guidance on subsequent events, which was
primarily codified into Topic 855, Subsequent Events, in the ASC. The guidance
established general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that
occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or
are available to be issued. The adoption of ASC 855 did not have a material
effect on the Company's financial statements and related disclosures.
20
Going Concern
-------------
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the going concern
basis which assumes that adequate sources of financing will be obtained as
required and that our assets will be realized and liabilities settled in the
ordinary course of business. These consolidated financial statements do not
include any adjustments related to the recoverability of assets and
classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary if we are
unable to continue as a going concern.
In order to continue as a going concern, we require additional financing. There
can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to us when
needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable
terms. If we are not able to continue as a going concern, we would likely be
unable to realize the carrying value of our assets reflected in the balances set
out in the preparation of the financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Paradigm Oil and Gas, Inc.
Gun Barrel City, Texas
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Paradigm Oil and
Gas, Inc. (the "Company") (an exploration stage company) as of December 31, 2010
and January 28, 2010 (inception) and the related consolidated statements of
operations, comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows
for the period from January 28, 2010 (inception) through December 31, 2010.
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated
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 the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about 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 consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well
as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of
Paradigm Oil and Gas, Inc. at December 31, 2010 and January 28, 2010, and the
consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the period
from January 28, 2010 (inception) through December 31, 2010 in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming
that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the
consolidated financial statements, the Company has no revenues and has a working
capital deficiency, both of which raise substantial doubt about its ability to
continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are
also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include
any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period from January 28, 2010 (Inception) through
December 31, 2010
(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Organization
Paradigm Enterprises, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in the state of
Nevada on July 15, 2002 to engage in the acquisition, exploration and
development of oil and gas properties. On February 7, 2005 the Company changed
its name to Paradigm Oil and Gas, Inc. Effective January 28, 2010, Paradigm Oil
& Gas Inc. entered into a share exchange agreement with the shareholders of
Intergrated Oil and Gas Solutions Inc. (the "Acquired Company") a Texas
corporation. The Transaction is considered to be a reverse acquisition. The
acquisition date now becomes the inception date of the Company.
The Company is considered an exploration stage company, as it has not generated
revenues from its operations.
Reverse merger of Intergrated Oil and Gas Solutions Inc.
On January 28, 2010, the Company entered into a Share exchange agreement with
the shareholders of Intergrated Oil and Gas Solutions Inc. (the "Acquired
Company") in exchange for their one hundred percent (100%) interest in all of
the capital stock of the Acquired Company.
Paradigm issued 42,000,000 of its $.001 par value shares common shares
representing 82% of the fully-diluted shares of the Company in exchange for 100%
of the Acquired Company's outstanding shares. The Acquired Company is now a 100%
subsidiary of the Company.
The Acquired Company holds 100% working interests in certain oil and gas leases
along with certain oil and gas production equipment. The total purchase price to
acquire these assets amounted to $541,539. These costs have been capitalized on
the Acquired Company's books at cost as natural gas and oil properties, unproved
properties.
Subsidiary formed: Paradigm Integrated Technology Solutions Inc.
On May 20, 2010 the Company formed Paradigm Integrated Technology Solutions
Inc., as a wholly owned subsidiary to conduct business related to technologies
that enhance secondary oil recovery.
Going Concern
These financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles in the United States of America with the
assumption that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its
liabilities in the normal course of business rather than through a process of
forced liquidation.
The Company's significant operating losses raise substantial doubt about its
ability to continue as a going concern. Inherent in the Company's business are
various risks and uncertainties, including its limited operating history,
historical operating losses, dependence upon strategic alliances, and the
historical success rate of oil and gas exploration. Management's plan is to
acquire interests in certain oil and gas properties with production and to
rework existing wells to bring them on line for production.
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has incurred a
net loss of $2,477,707 for the period from January 28, 2010 (inception) through
December 31, 2010.
The Company has no revenue. The Company's future success is primarily dependent
upon the existence of oil and gas in quantities which are commercially viable to
produce, on properties for which the Company owns a working interest or an
option to acquire an interest and/or through it's successful deployment of the
Company's Transportable Enhanced Oil Recovery Platform (T-EOR) and the Joint
Venture Production Program . The Company's success will also be dependent upon
its ability to raise sufficient capital to fund its rework and exploration
programs and, to exploit the discovery on a timely and cost-effective basis.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period from January 28, 2010 (Inception) through
December 31, 2010
(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Recent accounting pronouncements
During the period ended December 31, 2010, there were several new accounting
pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB). Each
of these pronouncements, as applicable, has been or will be adopted by the
Company. Management does not believe the adoption of any of these accounting
pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on the Company's financial
position or operating results. The Company will monitor these emerging issues to
assess any potential future impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The oil and gas industry is subject, by its nature, to environmental hazards and
clean-up costs. At this time, management knows of no substantial costs from
environmental accidents or events for which the Company may be currently liable.
In addition, the Company's oil and gas business makes it vulnerable to changes
in prices of crude oil and natural gas. Such prices have been volatile in the
past and can be expected to be volatile in the future.
Fair value of financial instruments
In accordance with the reporting requirements of Accounting Standards
Codification ("ASC") Topic No. 825, Financial Instruments, (ASC 825) the Company
calculates the fair value of its assets and liabilities which qualify as
financial instruments under this standard and includes this additional
information in the notes to the consolidated financial statements when the fair
value is different than the carrying value of those financial instruments.
The estimated fair value of employee advances, note receivable, related party
receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and advances from
shareholder approximate their carrying amounts due to the nature and short
maturity of these instruments. The carrying values of the short-term convertible
notes and note payable approximate their fair value since they bear market rates
of interest and other terms.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements for the period from January 28, 2010
(inception) through December 31, 2010 include the accounts of Paradigm Oil and
Gas, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated.
Cash
Cash consists of cash on deposit with high quality major financial institutions,
and to date the Company has not experienced losses on any of its balances. The
carrying amounts approximate fair market value due to the liquidity of these
deposits. For purposes of the balance sheets and statements of cash flows, the
Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months
or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2010 the
Company had $68,644 in cash.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period from January 28, 2010 (Inception) through

(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Inventory
Inventory consists of crude oil held in storage tanks. Inventory is stated at
market based on anticipated selling prices.
Furniture and equipment
Property and equipment are stated at the Company's cost and are depreciated on a
straightline basis over five-seven years. Maintenance and repair costs are
expensed when incurred while major improvements are capitalized. Depreciation
expense amounted to $1,747 for the period from January 28, 2010 (inception)
through December 31, 2010.
Oil and Gas Properties
The Company uses the successful efforts method of accounting for oil and gas
producing activities. Under this method, acquisition costs for proved and
unproved properties are capitalized when incurred. Exploration costs, including
geological and geophysical costs, the costs of carrying and retaining unproved
properties and exploratory dry hole drilling costs are expensed. Costs of
drilling and equipping productive wells, including development dry holes and
related production facilities are capitalized.
Capitalized costs of producing oil and gas properties, after considering
estimated dismantlement and abandonment costs and estimated salvage values are
depreciated and depleted by the unit-of-production method. Support equipment and
other property and equipment are depreciated over their estimated useful lives.
The Company provides for depreciation, depletion and amortization of its
investment in producing oil and gas properties on the unit-of-production method,
based upon independent reserve engineers' estimates of recoverable oil and gas
reserves from the property.
Properties will continue to be carried as an asset pending determination of
whether proved reserves have been found only as long as: i) the property has
found a sufficient quantity of reserves to justify its completion as a producing
property if the required capital expenditure is made and ii) there is enough
geological and engineering evidence that supports a commercially producible
quantity of reserves exist from a previously drilled well on the property. If
the well properties cannot support any of these criteria, the property is
assumed to be impaired, and its costs are charged to expense.
The impairment of unamortized capital costs is measured at a combined lease
level and is reduced to fair value if it is determined that the sum of expected
future net cash flows is less than the net book value. Paradigm determines if
impairment has occurred through either adverse changes or as a result of the
annual review of all the fields combined.
Net loss per Common Share
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss available to
common shareholders (the numerator) for the period by the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding (the denominator) during the period. The
computation of diluted earnings is similar to basic earnings per share, except
that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common
shares that would have been outstanding if potentially dilutive common shares
had been issued. For the period from January 28, 2010 (inception) through
December 31, 2010, basic and fully diluted loss per share are the same since the
calculation of diluted per share amounts would result in an anti-dilutive
calculation.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of the ASC Topic No.
740 , Income Taxes (ASC 740) which requires recognition of deferred tax
liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that
have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this
method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the
difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and
liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the
differences are expected to reverse.

(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company's functional currency is the Canadian dollar; however, the
accompanying financial statements and footnotes refer to United States ("U.S.")
dollars unless Canadian dollars are specifically designated with "CDN".
The accounts of the Company's foreign operations have been translated into
United States dollars. Assets and liabilities of those operations are translated
in U.S. dollars using exchange rates as of the balance sheet date; income and
expenses are translated using the average exchange rates for the reporting
period. Translation adjustments are included in accumulated other comprehensive
loss, a separate component of shareholders' equity.
Stock-based Compensation
The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic No.
718, Compensation - Stock Compensation (ASC 718), using the fair value method.
All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for
the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of
the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued,
whichever is more reliably measurable. Equity instruments issued to employees
and the cost of the services received as consideration are measured and
recognized based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued.
Asset Retirement Obligations
The Company has adopted ASC Topic No. 410 Asset Retirement and Environmental
Obligations (ASC 410), which requires that asset retirement obligations ("ARO")
associated with the retirement of a tangible long-lived asset, including natural
gas and oil properties, be recognized as liabilities in the period in which it
is incurred and becomes determinable, with an offsetting increase in the
carrying amount of the associated assets. The cost of tangible long-lived
assets, including the initially recognized ARO, is depleted, such that the cost
of the ARO is recognized over the useful life of the assets. The ARO is recorded
at fair value, and accretion expense is recognized over time as the discounted
cash flows are accreted to the expected settlement value. The fair value of the
ARO is measured using expected future cash flow, discounted at the Company's
credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate. To date, insufficient information has
been available for management to determine the Company's asset retirement
obligations, which primarily relates to the plugging and abandonment of its
wells. Accordingly, no liabilities have been recorded. The Company is delinquent
in its payments to a joint venture partner. Canadian Association of Petroleum
Landmen rules dictate the Company will not receive payment from producing wells
until the joint venture partner recovers its costs and a penalty. As such,
management believes no obligation should be recorded at this time.
Joint Ventures
All exploration and production activities are conducted jointly with others and,
accordingly, the accounts reflect only the Company's proportionate interest in
such activities.
Environmental Protection and Reclamation Costs
The operations of the Company have been, and may be in the future, affected from
time to time in varying degrees by changes in environmental regulations,
including those for future removal and site restorations costs. Both the
likelihood of new regulations and their overall effect upon the Company may vary
from region to region and are not predictable.
The Company's policy is to meet or, if possible, surpass standards set by
relevant legislation, by application of technically proven and economically
feasible measures. Environmental expenditures that relate to ongoing
environmental and reclamation programs will be charged against statements of
operations as incurred or capitalized and amortized depending upon their future
economic benefits. The Company does not currently anticipate any material
capital expenditures for environmental control facilities because all property
holdings are at early stages of exploration. Therefore, estimated future removal
and site restoration costs are presently considered minimal.

For the period from January 28, 2010 (Inception) through

(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews its long-lived assets to be held and used, including
unproved oil and gas properties accounted for under the successful efforts
method of accounting, whenever events or circumstances indicate that the
carrying value of those assets may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is
indicated if the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than
the carrying amount of the assets. In such circumstances, the Company recognizes
an impairment loss for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset
exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset.
Revenue Recognition
The Company uses the sales method of accounting for natural gas and oil
revenues. Under this method, revenues are recognized upon the passage of title,
net of royalties. Revenues from natural gas production are recorded using the
sales method. When sales volumes exceed the Company's entitled share, an
overproduced imbalance occurs. To the extent the overproduced imbalance exceeds
the Company's share of the remaining estimated proved natural gas reserves for a
given property, the Company records a liability. At December 31, 2010, the
Company had no overproduced imbalances.
Fair Value Measurements
ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC 820), defines fair
value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles, and requires certain disclosures about
fair value measurements. In general, fair values of financial instruments are
based upon quoted market prices, where available. If such quoted market prices
are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed models that
primarily use, as inputs, observable market-based parameters. Valuation
adjustments may be made to ensure that financial instruments are recorded at
fair value. These adjustments may include amounts to reflect counterparty credit
quality and the customer's creditworthiness, among other things, as well as
unobservable parameters. Any such valuation adjustments are applied consistently
over time.
(3) NOTE RECEIVABLE
The Company advanced funds regarding the Corsicana lease acquisition and work
program. The note receivable represents amounts due from the other 50% owner
concerning their share of costs. The amount due is $ 25,050 and is non-interest
bearing.
(4) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
An officer and shareholder of the Company has loaned the Company $76,546. The

A note receivable in the amount of $ 45,807 is due from a shareholder of the
Company at December 31, 2010. The loan is interest free and has no formal terms
of repayment.
(5) BOND RRC
The Company has $ 50,000 on deposit with the Texas Railroad Commission (RRC) to
establish an operators bond. In order to operate wells on properties in Texas,
the RRC requires a bond be established by the operating party. The bond is put
into a fund to cover any liability on a property which an operator fails to
rectify or pay. The deposit is refundable when a operator ceases to be an
operator and leaves the wells and property in a approved condition or transfers
the property and wells to another bonded operator.

The oil and gas properties are comprised of 4 leases totaling approximately nine
hundred and thirty four (934) net mineral Acres, all located in the State of
Texas, USA. 692 acres in Kaufman County, carry a 80% Net Revenue Interest, 40
acres located in the County of Wood, carry a 87.5% Net Revenue Interest, 122.37
acres located in the County of Henderson carry a 81.25% Net Revenue Interest and

Todd Creek Property
-------------------
During January 2005, the Company paid Win $298,631 (less a $50,000 deposit paid
in December 2004) to acquire a 10% interest in the Todd Creek Property
(10-34-5-29W4) located in Alberta, Canada. On June 18, 2005, the Company
received a payment of $ 147,258 from Win for the sale of 50% of the Company's
10% interest in the Todd Creek Property. During the second quarter of 2005, a
well located in Todd Creek property was drilled to a specifically targeted
depth. The well was evaluated and tested. The operator encountered gas
reservoirs and concluded that this well is a potential gas well.
This well was tied into a newly constructed gas processing plant and production
commenced in September 2006. The Company has received no revenue from this well
as the Company has not paid to Win our full share of the costs of drilling or to
tie in the well. To date the Company has received no further information about
the Todd Creek project. The Company does not expect to receive further
information from the operator until the Company has paid all outstanding
invoices in full. Included in accounts payable is an amount of $130,611 owing to
Win/Compton. In 2008, due to the low prices for natural gas and the lack of
sustainable production from the property we took an impairment charge against
the Todd Creek property and wrote the value down to $ 0.
Hillsprings Property
--------------------
During January 2005, the Company acquired a 5% interest in the Hillsprings
Property (10-34-5-29W4) located in Alberta, Canada at a cost of $207,383. The
Company held an option to acquire an additional 5% interest by paying an
additional $207,383 to Win, the option expired on July 1, 2005 unexercised. The
Hillsprings Property currently has no proven reserves.
The Company is currently in default of its payments to Win/Compton. The Company
will have to pay Win/Compton the amounts owed in 2008.To pay the amounts owing
to Win/Compton the Company will need to raise funds. This could potentially be
dilutive to current shareholders. Alternatively the Company could sell the
properties to realize value.
b) Farmout and Option Agreement
Sawn Lake Property
------------------
On February 14, 2005 the Company entered into a farmout and Option Agreement
with a private Alberta corporation for consideration of $152,423. The Company
will farm-in to a 5% interest in a test well, and a similar interest in an
additional option well in the Sawn Lake area located in Alberta, Canada. The
Company will earn 100% of the farmout's interest (an undivided 10% interest in
the drilling spacing unit) before payout, reverting to 50% of the farmout's
interest (an undivided 5% interest) after payout. In order to earn its interest
in the initial test well, total costs of the test well, estimated to be
$173,200, up to the point of commercial oil sales are to be borne 100% by the
Company in order to earn its undivided interest.
In conjunction with the year end audit in 2008 and 2007, 1132559 Alberta Ltd
alleged that the Company was in default of the Sawn Lake Property farmout
agreement over which their note payable (refer to note 8) is secured by 100% of
the first proceeds of production of the Sawn Lake Property. Accordingly 1132559
Alberta Ltd's position is that they own the Sawn Lake Property farmout
agreement. The Company does not believe there has been any default and maintains
its ownership in the Sawn Lake farmout agreement.
Due to the ongoing dispute the cost of defending the Company's rights to the
Sawn Lake Property may cost more than the value of the property. In 2008 the
Company took an impairment charge against the Sawn Lake property and wrote the
value down to $ 0.

(8) SHORT TERM CONVERTIBLE NOTES
The Company has entered into a series of Short Term Convertible Notes bearing
annual interest of 8% which mature 180 days after the issue date (maturity
date). The note plus interest can be converted in whole or in part to common
shares at the holder's option at the later of the maturity date or the default
date. The Conversion price is calculated as 55% of the market price which is
determined by averaging the lowest 3 day closing price over the last 10 trading
day period ending one trading day prior to the day the conversion notice was
sent by facsimile. If the note plus interest is not paid or converted on the
maturity, then default interest begins to accrue on the whole amount bearing
annual interest of 22%.

clause (i) or (ii) is hereinafter referred to as the "Announcement Date"), then
the Conversion Price shall, effective upon the Announcement Date and continuing
through the Adjusted Conversion Price Termination Date (as defined below), be
equal to the lower of (x) the Conversion Price which would have been applicable
for a Conversion occurring on the Announcement Date and (y) the Conversion Price
that would otherwise be in effect. From and after the Adjusted Conversion Price
Termination Date, the Conversion Price shall be determined as set forth above.

liabilities and their respective tax bases. In addition, future tax benefits,
such as those from net operating loss carry forwards, are not recognized to the
extent that realization of such benefits is more likely than not. Deferred tax
assets and liabilities are measured using 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 as set forth below in the period that includes

(14) NATURAL GAS AND OIL EXPLORATION RISK
Exploration Risk
The Company's future financial condition and results of operations will depend
upon prices received for its natural gas and oil production and the cost of
finding, acquiring, developing and producing reserves. Substantially all of its
production is sold under various terms and arrangements at prevailing market
prices. Prices for natural gas and oil are subject to fluctuations in response
to changes in supply, market uncertainty and a variety of other factors beyond
its control. Other factors that have a direct bearing on the Company's prospects
are uncertainties inherent in estimating natural gas and oil reserves and future
hydrocarbon production and cash flows, particularly with respect to wells that
have not been fully tested and with wells having limited production histories;
access to additional capital; changes in the price of natural gas and oil;
availability and cost of services and equipment; and the presence of competitors
with greater financial resources and capacity.

PARADIGM OIL & GAS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period from January 28, 2010 (Inception) through
December 31, 2010
Distribution Risk
The Company is dependent on the operator to market any oil production from its
wells and any subsequent production which may be received from other wells which
may be successfully drilled on the Prospect. It relies on the operator's ability
and expertise in the industry to successfully market the same. Prices at which
the operator sells gas/oil both in intrastate and interstate commerce, will be
subject to the availability of pipelines, demand and other factors beyond the
control of the operator. The Company and the operator believe any oil produced
can be readily sold to a number of buyers.
Foreign Operations Risk
The Company is exposed to foreign currency fluctuations, political risks, price
controls and varying forms of fiscal regimes or changes thereto which may impair
its ability to conduct profitable operations as it operates internationally and
holds foreign denominated cash and other assets.
(15) CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND COMMITMENTS
The Company is in default of its obligation to Compton Petroleum in respect to
the Todd Creek Property, as it has not paid the full share of costs of drilling
or to complete the well. As a result the Company has received no further
information about the Todd Creek project. The Company does not expect to receive
further information from the operator until all outstanding participation costs
have been paid.
In conjunction with the year end audit in 2007 and 2008, 1132559 Alberta Ltd
alleged that the Company was in default of the Sawn Lake Property Lake farmout
agreement over which their note payable (refer to note 9) is secured by 100% of
the first proceeds of production of the Sawn Lake Property. Accordingly 1132559
Alberta Ltd position is that they own the Sawn Lake Property Lake farmout
agreement. The Company does not believe there has been any default and maintains
its ownership in the Sawn Lake farmout agreement.

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under the provisions of FASB
ASC 718-10-55. This statement requires the Company to record an expense
associated with the fair value of stock-based compensation. The Company uses the
Black- Scholes option valuation model to calculate stock-based compensation at
the date of grant. Option pricing models require the input of highly subjective
assumptions, including the expected price volatility. The Company used the
simplified method to determine the expected term of the options due to the lack
of sufficient historical data. Changes in these assumptions can materially
affect the fair value estimate. The total fair value of the options is
recognized as compensation over the vesting period.
(19) EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
The President and CEO Ron Polli has an employment agreement with the Company.
The agreement provides for an annual salary of $ 60,000 per annum based on weeks
worked and a provision to be granted options under a separate option agreement
as disclosed in Note 18. The agreement can be terminated with 30 days notice by
either party.

Item 9. Changes In and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and
Financial Disclosures
On June 17, 2008 the board of directors of the Company replaced STS Partners
with Turner Stone & Company, LLC as our auditors. There have been no
disagreements with our accountants on issues of accounting or financial
disclosures.
Item 9A(T). Controls and Procedures
a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company's management, with the participation of its President and Chief
Executive Officer, who is its principal executive officer, completed an
evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's
disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") as of
the end of the period covered by this Form 10-K. Disclosure controls and
procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by
the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified
by the SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and
communicated to management, including the President and Chief Executive Officer,
as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Based
on that evaluation, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer
concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end
of the fiscal year covered by this Form 10-K - were not effective because of the
late filing of the Company's annual financial statements. Pursuant to the
requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the
registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the
undersigned, thereunto duly authorized.
(b) Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The Company's management is responsible for establishing and maintaining
adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f)
and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act and for assessing the effectiveness of
internal control over financial reporting.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting
may not prevent or detect misstatements. In addition, projections of any
evaluation of effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting 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.
Management has assessed the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2010. In making its assessment of
internal control over financial reporting, management used the criteria
established in Internal Control -- Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee
of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. This assessment included
an evaluation of the design of the Company's internal control over financial
reporting and testing of the operational effectiveness of those controls. Based
on the results of this assessment, management has concluded that the Company's
internal control over financial reporting were not effective because of the late
filing of the Company's annual financial statements as of December 31, 2010.
This Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of the
Company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over
financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the
Company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the SEC that
permit the Company to provide only management's report in this Annual Report on
Form 10-K.
(c) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting
that occurred during the period ended from January 28, 2010 (inception) to
December 31, 2010 that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely
to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

----------------- ----------------------------- ----- -----------------------
Business Experience
===================
The following is a brief account of the education and business experience of
each director, executive officer and key employee, indicating each person's
principal occupation during the period, and the name and principal business of
the organization by which he was employed.
Ron Polli has over 25 years experience in executive management and business
development and has had marketing and sales leadership roles within the
technology industry.
Prior to accepting this new position, Mr. Polli was appointed on May 21, 2010 as
President of the Company's technology subsidiary, Paradigm Integrated Technology
Solutions Inc. Prior to his appointment, Mr. Polli had been consulting with the
Paradigm Oil and Gas management team since September 2009.
Since 2009, Mr. Polli was President of Stripper Solutions LLC, a distributor for
BlackStorm Flexible Tubing Systems, a new and patented product for the
production of oil in shallow wells. Here Mr. Polli developed a distribution
network, recruiting distributors both nationally and internationally, focusing
on new and innovative technologies in the oil recovery industry.
Brian Kennedy has over 30 years of business experience and during his career has
held several CEO and CFO positions with both public and private companies. His
experience spans areas of general management, business planning, accounting and
financial reporting, treasury functions, intellectual property and licensing,
mergers and acquisitions, and Board of Director positions.
Mr. Kennedy is a Chartered Accountant and has a Bachelor of Business
Administration degree from York University.
Previously Mr. Kennedy was CEO of Luxell Technologies, listed on the Toronto
Stock Exchange, where under his leadership grew the company from a $0.25 share
value to over $9.00. Over the last 3 years, Mr. Kennedy worked on numerous oil
and gas recovery projects, whereby utilizing new technologies he successfully
increased the production output of the wells.
Our directors, executive officers and control persons have not been involved in
any of the following events during the past five years:
1. any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which
such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the
time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time;
23
2. any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a
pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other
minor offenses);
3. being subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently
reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent
jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring,
suspending or otherwise limiting his involvement in any type of
business, securities or banking activities; or
4. being found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil
action), the Commission or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission
to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law,
and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended, or vacated.
Paradigm does not have any committees of the board of directors at this time.
The board of directors does not have a nominations committee because there is
one director and shareholder suggestions would be known to the entire board. As
such, the board of directors believes there will be sufficient communication by
shareholders with the board about matters and nominees to be brought to its
attention.
Paradigm's sole director functions as an audit committee and performs some of
the same functions as an audit committee including: (1) selection and oversight
of the Company's independent accountant; (2) establishing procedures for the
receipt, retention and treatment of complaints regarding accounting, internal
controls and auditing matters; and (3) engaging outside advisors. Paradigm's
board of directors has determined that its director is not an "audit committee
financial expert" within the meaning of the rules and regulations of the SEC.
Paradigm's board of directors has determined, however, that its director is able
to read and understand fundamental financial statements and has business
experience that results in that member's financial sophistication. Accordingly,
the board of directors believes that its director has the sufficient knowledge
and experience necessary to fulfill the duties and obligations that an audit
committee would have.
