      expected in the upcoming quarter.

 - 100,000 common shares were issued during the quarter to one officer of the Company,

      upon meeting the required vesting schedule.

 - During the current quarter, the Company cancelled 22,500 common shares to correct an

EARTH ENERGY RESERVES, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


September 30, 2011

(Unaudited)


On May 3, 2011, the Company entered into a letter of intent with an energy company to purchase various interests in producing oil and gas leases located in the state of Louisiana, internally known as the “NOLA-A” Project.  Until the definitive purchase agreement is executed by both companies, either company may terminate the negotiations regarding this proposed transaction, with or without cause.  The estimated purchase price is $1,050,000, subject to customary closing settlement adjustments. The Company anticipates signing the binding Purchase and Sale Agreement with the Seller on or about November 21, 2011, with closing anticipated at December 31, 2011.


On July 26, 2011 the Company entered into a letter of intent with a large mineral owner to enter an oil and gas lease of 71,900 acres in northern Louisiana for exploration and production of coal bed methane reservoirs, known internally as the “NOLA-B” Project. The Company anticipates consummating the lease by December 31, 2011, with drilling to be initiated as soon as practical, but no later than one year from the lease date. An initial lease bonus payment of $719,000 will be paid by the Company upon signing of the lease.


On July 15, 2011, the Company engaged the services of Heritage Fincorp to act as Managing Broker Dealer in the raising of $15 million (with optional extension to a $30 million offering) in equity, via private placement. The July 1, 2011 Private Placement Memorandum offers the Company’s Series 3 Units, consisting of one common share of the Company’s stock and two warrants to purchase shares of stock. Series 3 Units are priced at $1.50 each, with an initial 10 million Units offered, with optional extension to 20 million Units.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Trends and Uncertainties.   We intend to be an independent oil and natural gas company engaged in the acquisition, drilling and production of oil and natural gas in the United States.  Our future operations may be adversely affected by our competitors, fluctuating oil prices, changing foreign political environments, and any prolonged recessionary periods.  


Capital and Source of Liquidity.  We are evaluating and pursuing several acquisitions in conventional oil and gas reservoirs, with the intent to maintain diversification in our asset portfolio.  


We believe that there will be sufficient capital from recent equity financing and the proposed equity and debt financing to conduct operations for the next twelve months.  


Presently, proceeds of Earth Energy's equity financing and cash comprise all of the total cash necessary to conduct operations.  Any proposed acquisitions will determine the amount of additional financing necessary to continue operations.  


We are currently pursuing equity financing.  The board of directors shall determine the amount and type of any additional financing necessary as our financial situation dictates.  


Investing Activities.  For the three months ended September 30, 2011 the registrant placed $40,000 in good faith deposits toward the acquisition of the “NOLA-B” leasehold, pursuant to the corresponding July 26, 2011 Letter of Intent. For the three months ended September 30, 2010 the registrant did not pursue any investing activities.


Financing Activities.  For the three months ended September 30, 2011, no common stock was sold, although $237,500 in prior “subscriptions receivable” was received for prior stock sales.  As a result, we had net cash flows from financing activities of $237,500 for the three months ended September 30, 2011.


For the three months ended September 30, 2010, we sold common stock for $62,000, and $800,000 in prior “subscriptions receivable” was received for prior stock sales.  We re-purchased and retired Series A Preferred Stock of $44,547.  As a result, we had net cash flows from financing activities of $817,453 for the three months ended September 30, 2010.


11



Results of Operations.   We have had only minimal revenue since inception.  Until completion of our recent private offering, most of our expenses have been paid by Galaxy Partners Ltd. Corp, a company controlled by James Hogue, an officer, director and principal shareholder of Earth Energy and through the sale of our common stock.  For the three months ended September 30, 2011 and the three months ended September 30, 2010, Earth Energy received no revenues.  


For the three months ended September 30, 2011, the registrant had general and administrative expenses of $245,957 compared to $270,407 for the three months ended September 30, 2010.


The expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 consisted of salaries, stock based compensation, and the expense of engineering and geological consultants, as well as customary legal, accounting, auditing and general office overhead expenses.  


Plan of Operation.  We have developed an operating strategy that is based on acquiring underdeveloped oil and gas properties that include or are adjacent to existing active production, and are thus, lower risk but with attractive rates of return on the development potential.  We have elected directors and appointed and hired officers and consultants with substantial experience in unconventional gas production, including coal bed methane reservoirs, plus the expertise in horizontal wellbore drilling, and we have correspondingly pursued several acquisitions in this arena.  We are also evaluating and pursuing several acquisitions in conventional oil and gas reservoirs, with the intent to maintain diversification in our asset portfolio.  We have a bias towards desiring to be the operator of the properties we are acquiring but are not exclusively against acquiring non-operated positions in oil and gas assets.  


Earth Energy may experience problems, delays, expenses, and difficulties sometimes encountered by an enterprise in Earth Energy's stage, many of which are beyond Earth Energy's control.  These include, but are not limited to, unanticipated problems relating to additional costs and expenses that may exceed current estimates and competition.  


Earth Energy is not delinquent in any of its obligations even though Earth Energy has generated no operating revenues.  Earth Energy intends to pursue our business plan utilizing cash made available from the private sale of our securities and future operations.  Our management is of the opinion that the proceeds of the sales of its securities and future revenues will be sufficient to pay our expenses for the next twelve months.  


Earth Energy is pursuing financing for its operations and seeking additional private investments.  In addition, Earth Energy is seeking to expand its revenue base.  Failure to secure such financing or to raise additional equity capital and to expand its revenue base may result in the Corporation not being able pay its obligations.


12



ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK  


We do not consider the effects of interest rate movements to be a material risk to our financial condition.  We do not hold any derivative instruments and do not engage in any hedging activities.   


ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES  


During the three months ended March 31, 2011, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a- 15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.  


Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures  


Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of March 31, 2011.  Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief principal financial officer have concluded such controls and procedures to be effective as of March 31, 2011 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms and to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
