Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this Report including, without limitation, statements in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in this Report, regarding our financial condition, estimated working capital, business strategy, the plans and objectives of our management for future operations and those statements preceded by, followed by or that otherwise include the words “believe”, “expects”, “anticipates”, “intends”, “estimates”, “projects”, “target”, “goal”, “plans”, “objective”, “should”, or similar expressions or variations on such expressions are forward-looking statements. We can give no assurances that the assumptions upon which the forward-looking statements are based will prove to be correct. Because forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. There are a number of risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements including, but not limited to, our ability to identify and exploit available corporate acquisition, farm-in and/or joint venture opportunities in the energy sector in Colombia and Peru and, more generally, in Latin America, our ability to establish technical and managerial infrastructure, our ability to raise required capital on acceptable terms and conditions, our ability to take advantage of, and successfully participate in such opportunities, our ability to successfully operate, or influence our joint venture partners’ operation of, the projects in which we participate in a cost effective and efficient way; future economic conditions, political and regulatory stability and changes and volatility in energy prices. A description of some of the risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those described by the forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q appears in the section captioned “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 29, 2011 and Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Except as otherwise required by the federal securities laws, we disclaim any obligations or undertaking to publicly release any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to reflect any change in our expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.

Note 1 – Organization and Basis of Presentation

Gulf United Energy, Inc. (“Gulf United” or the “Company”), together with its 100% owned subsidiaries, is an international oil and gas exploration company concentrating on opportunities in South America. The Company currently has limited operations and is a development stage company as defined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards for Development Stage Entities. The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on September 19, 2003. As of June 30, 2012, the Company’s asset portfolio included participation in two hydrocarbon exploration blocks operated by SK Innovation Co. Ltd. (“SK Innovation” – Formerly SK Energy, Ltd.). In August 2012, the Company acquired interests in two additional hydrocarbon blocks operated by SK Innovation. SK Innovation is a subsidiary of SK Innovation Group, one of South Korea’s top five industrial conglomerates. SK Innovation is Korea’s largest petroleum refiner and is currently active in 29 blocks in 16 countries. The Company also has a participating interest in Block XXIV Peru and the Peru TEA operated by Upland Oil and Gas.

On August 30, 2012, the Company’s board of directors changed the Company’s fiscal year end from August 31st to December 31st. This change will better align the Company’s financial reporting with its operational and budgeting cycle and with our operating partners and other industry participants. The Company’s fiscal quarters will now end on the last day of March, June, September and December each year.

Interim Financial Statements

In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are necessary to provide a fair presentation of operating results for the interim periods presented. The Company assumes that the users of the interim financial information herein have read or have access to the audited financial statements for the preceding fiscal year and that the adequacy of additional disclosures needed for a fair presentation may be determined in that context. Certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”), have been condensed or omitted in this Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. These consolidated financial statements should be read in connection with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2011, filed on November 29, 2011. The results of operations presented for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year. Interim financial data presented herein are unaudited.

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Company has incurred losses since inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of $31,487,327 as of June 30, 2012, and further losses are anticipated in the development of our business raising substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the ability of the Company to generate profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. The Company raised substantial equity and debt during the year ended August 31, 2011 and during the current year. Notwithstanding, we do not have any credit facilities available with financial institutions, stockholders or third party investors, and will continue to rely on best efforts debt and equity financings. There is no assurance that we can raise additional debt or equity capital from external sources. The Company has no control over the amount of funds that it may receive in financings and the time frame in which they may be received. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting

The Company maintains its accounts on the accrual method of accounting in accordance GAAP. The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of consolidated financial position and the results of operations have been reflected herein.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk at this time consist principally of cash. The Company places its cash with high credit quality financial institutions. At times, such amounts may exceed FDIC limits; however, these deposits typically may be redeemed upon demand and therefore bear minimal risk. In monitoring this credit risk, the Company periodically evaluates the stability of the financial institutions.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Certain of our more critical accounting policies require the application of significant judgment by management in selecting the appropriate assumptions for calculating financial estimates. By their nature, these judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. These judgments are based on our historical experience, terms of existing contracts, and our observance of trends in the industry and information available from other outside sources, as appropriate. Different, reasonable estimates could have been used in the current period. Additionally, changes in accounting estimates are reasonably likely to occur from period to period. These, and other, factors could have a material impact on the presentation of our financial condition, changes in financial condition or results of operations.

Cash

Cash includes cash in a demand deposit account and a money market account with a Houston bank. In addition, the Company has established a cash account in Bogota, Colombia as required by local regulations. This account is maintained in Colombian pesos.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and debt. It is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest or credit risks arising from these instruments. The fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying values.

The carrying amount of these financial instruments approximates fair value due either to length of maturity or interest and discount rates that approximate prevailing market rates. In determining fair values, there are three levels of inputs used to determine value. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs which include risk inherent in the asset or liability.

Software License and Fixed Assets

The value of the software license and other fixed assets (computer equipment) is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the thirty six-month estimated useful life of the software and other fixed assets.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

Any costs associated with maintenance and upgrades will be charged to expense as incurred. When the asset is retired or otherwise disposed of, the costs and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in income for the period; significant renewals and betterments are capitalized. Deductions are made for retirements resulting from renewals or betterments.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

The Company evaluates impairment when events or circumstances indicate that a long-lived asset’s carrying value may not be recovered. These events include market declines, decisions to sell an asset and adverse changes in the legal or business environment. If events or circumstances indicate that a long-lived asset’s carrying value may not be recoverable, the Company estimates the future undiscounted cash flows from the asset for which the lowest level of separate cash flows may be determined, to determine if the asset is impaired. If the total undiscounted future cash flows are less than the carrying amount for the asset, the Company estimates the fair value of the asset through reference to sales data for similar assets, or by using a discounted cash flow approach. The asset’s carrying value is then adjusted downward to the estimated fair value. These cash flow estimates and assumptions could change significantly either positively or negatively. In June 2012, the Company announced that a determination had been made to cease efforts to test and complete the Tamandua #1 well and to cease efforts to complete the Cachirre #1 well on the CPO-4 prospect in Colombia. As a result of the determination to cease efforts to complete the Tamandua #1 well and Cachirre #1 well, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $8,436,144 to write off costs incurred through June 30, 2012 attributable to the drilling of the two wells on the Company’s CPO-4 block.

Inflation

The Company's results of operations have not been significantly affected by inflation and management does not expect inflation to have a significant effect on its operations in the foreseeable future.

Oil and gas properties

The Company follows the full cost method of accounting for its oil and gas properties, whereby all costs incurred in connection with the acquisition, exploration for and development of petroleum and natural gas reserves, if any, are capitalized. Such costs include costs of acquisition, geological and geophysical activities, rentals on non-producing leases, drilling, completing and equipping of oil and gas wells and administrative costs directly attributable to those activities and asset retirement costs. Disposition of oil and gas properties will be accounted for as a reduction of capitalized costs, with no gain or loss recognized unless such adjustment would significantly alter the relationship between capital costs and proved reserves, if any, of oil and gas, in which case the gain or loss will be recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.

As of June 30, 2012, the Company had oil and gas property investments in the amount of $17,976,060 that are excluded from depletion because reserves have not been proven to be associated with those properties. If any proved reserves are found and when its quantity can be estimated, costs in excess of the present value of estimated future net revenues will be charged to impairment expense. The Company will apply the full cost ceiling test on a quarterly basis on the date of the latest consolidated balance sheet presented. It is not known at this time if any recoverable reserves of oil and gas exist.

In June 2012, the Company announced that a determination had been made to cease efforts to test and complete the Tamandua #1 well and to cease efforts to complete the Cachirre #1 well on the CPO-4 prospect in Colombia. As a result of the determination to cease efforts to complete the Tamandua #1 well and Cachirre #1 well, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $8,436,144 to write off costs incurred through June 30, 2012 attributable to the drilling of the two wells on the Company’s CPO-4 block.

Asset retirement costs will be recognized when an asset is placed in service and will be included in the amortization base and will be amortized over proved reserves, if any, using the units of production method. Depletion of proved oil and gas properties will be calculated on the units-of-production method based upon estimates of proved reserves, if any. Such calculations include the estimated future costs to develop proved reserves, if any. Costs of unproved properties are not included in the costs subject to depletion. These costs will also be assessed quarterly for impairment.

Asset Retirement Obligation

GAAP requires that an asset retirement obligation (ARO) associated with the retirement of a tangible long-lived asset be recognized as a liability in the period in which it is incurred and becomes determinable. Under this method, when liabilities for dismantlement and abandonment costs, excluding salvage values, are initially recorded, the carrying amount of the related oil and natural gas properties is increased.

The fair value of the ARO asset and liability is measured using expected future cash outflows discounted at the Company’s credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate. Accretion of the liability is recognized each period using the interest method of allocation, and the capitalized cost is depleted using the units of production method. Should either the estimated life or the estimated abandonment costs of a property change materially upon the Company’s quarterly review, a new calculation is performed using the same methodology of taking the abandonment cost and inflating it forward to its abandonment date and then discounting it back to the present using the Company’s credit-adjusted, risk-free rate.

The carrying value of the asset retirement obligation is adjusted to the newly calculated value, with a corresponding offsetting adjustment to the asset retirement cost related to oil and gas property accounts. At June 30, 2012, the Company had no material asset retirement obligations.

Basic Loss per Share

The Company is required to provide basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share information. The basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss applicable to common stockholders, adjusted on an "as if converted" basis, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus potential dilutive securities. For the period ended June 30, 2012, there were no potentially dilutive securities issued, therefore, diluted net loss per common share equals basic net loss per share. Common stock subscribed, if any, is not included in diluted earnings per share because the results would be anti-dilutive. In April 2011, the Company issued five-year warrants to purchase up to 1 million shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.30. In addition, in June 2011 the Company adopted the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”) under which the Company may issue stock grants and stock options to Company employees, directors and consultants up to 45,000,000 shares which may not exceed 1,000,000 shares to any individual during any fiscal year. These stock grants and stock options generally vest over a three-year period, beginning on the first anniversary from the date of each grant. As of June 30, 2012, the Company has granted, to employees and independent directors of the Company, a total of 1,950,000 shares in restricted stock grants and stock options to purchase 3,500,000 shares at a weighted average exercise price of $0.14 per share.

Potential dilutive securities as of June 30, 2012 have been considered, but the potential dilutive effect of these securities is not believed to be material and would be anti-dilutive. The Company reported net losses in the six months ended June 30, 2012 as well as a cumulative net loss; accordingly, the effects of any additional shares would be anti-dilutive. The weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding was 495,123,495 and 428,524,200 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Gulf United Energy, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Gulf United Energy del Peru, Ltd., Gulf United Energy Cuenca Trujillo, Ltd. and Gulf United Energy de Colombia, Ltd. as of June 30, 2012. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in the consolidation.

Accounting for Uncertain Tax Positions

GAAP provides detailed guidance for the financial statement recognition, measurement and disclosure of uncertain tax positions recognized in an entity’s financial statements. GAAP requires an entity to recognize the financial statement impact of a tax position when it is more likely that not that the position will be sustained upon examination. The Company believes that all significant tax positions utilized by the Company will more likely than not be sustained upon examination. As of the period ended June 30, 2012, the tax years that remain subject to examination by the major tax jurisdictions under the statute of limitations are from the fiscal year 2008 forward (with limited exceptions). Tax penalties and interest, if any, would be accrued as incurred and would be classified as tax expense in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Stock-Based Compensation Arrangements

GAAP requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be based on their fair values. In accordance with the provisions of GAAP, share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the calculated fair value of the award. The Company recognizes compensation cost net of a forfeiture rate and recognizes the compensation cost for only those awards expected to vest on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the vesting term. The Company estimated the forfeiture rate based on its historical experience and its expectations of future forfeitures. We currently expect no forfeitures. This stock-based compensation is recognized as general and administrative expense over the employee’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity award). We apply the fair value method in accounting for stock option grants using the Black-Scholes Method.

We grant restricted stock and stock options to employees and directors as incentive compensation. The restricted stock and options generally vest over three years, beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date. The vesting of these shares and options is dependent upon the continued service of the grantees with the Company. Upon the occurrence of a change in control, each outstanding share of restricted stock and stock option will immediately vest.

Stock Options

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The following summarizes the assumptions used in the option-pricing model and the method for determining the assumptions for the options issued in June and November 2011:

Ford, Miller, Fluker and Pomerantz ten-year options to purchase up to 1 million shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.08 per share pursuant to their respective employment agreements. Each of the Company’s independent directors, John N. Seitz and Thomas G. Loeffler, were also each awarded ten-year options to purchase up to 1 million shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.08 per share. All of the options awarded described above were made under the Company’s 2011 Stock Incentive Plan, and vest equally over a period of three years beginning on the date of the grant.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS (ASU 2011-04), which amends ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement. ASU 2011-04 does not extend the use of fair value accounting, but provides guidance on how it should be applied where its use is already required or permitted by other standards within U.S. GAAP or International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

ASU 2011-04 changes the wording used to describe many requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. Additionally, ASU 2011-04 clarifies the FASB’s intent about the application of existing fair value measurements. ASU 2011-04 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and is applied prospectively. The Company does not believe the adoption of this change will have any material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)-Presentation of Comprehensive Income. ASU 2011-05 requires that all non-owner changes in stockholders’ equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In both choices, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. ASU 2011-05 is effective retrospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption of this standard is permitted and the Company has adopted this update.

Mexicana de Gas Natural, S.A. de C.V., to sell all of the Company’s shares in Fermaca LNG de Cancun, S.A. de C.V. and Fermaca Gas de Cancun, S.A. de C.V. for a total amount of $1,000,000 of which $50,000 was paid upon entry into the sale agreement, $150,000 of which was paid at the close of the transaction, $120,000 of the next $150,000 was paid as of February 28, 2011 with the remaining $30,000 paid in March, 2011. Because the Company is no longer involved in any downstream oil and gas activities, and because the Company has no further involvement in the joint ventures, the amounts related to the joint ventures have been reclassified to discontinued operations in accordance with GAAP. The next installment of $150,000 was due on May 1, 2011 and the following $150,000 installments were due on August 1, 2011 and November 1, 2011. The final payment of $200,000 was due February 1, 2012. As of the date of this report, none of these installments have been paid.

(Unaudited)

No interest accrues on the installments; however, the contract provides for 7% interest to be paid on late payments. Management is currently negotiating an extended repayment schedule; however, there is no certainty that all or any of the installments will be paid. We have recognized payments as gain on the sale of the joint venture investment as the sales proceeds are received. Because the sale of the joint venture interests ended the Company’s investments in pipeline and LNG infrastructure, the gain from the sale and the impairment losses have been reclassified to discontinued operations. As of June 30, 2012, the unrecorded present value of the $650,000 in installments receivable cannot be determined because the timing of the payments, if any, is uncertain.

Colombia CPO-4

In July 2010, the Company acquired from SK Innovation, subject to regulatory approval, an undivided twelve and one-half percent (12.5%) participating interest in the CPO-4 block located in the Llanos Basin of Colombia. Block CPO-4 consists of 345,592 gross acres (43,200 net) and is located approximately 70 miles southeast of Bogotá. This block is operated by SK Innovation. Approximately 530 square kilometers of 3-D seismic data has been acquired and interpreted in the northern portion of the acreage. Interpretation and study of this seismic data is ongoing. Tamandua-1, the first well drilled on CPO-4, was spudded in July 2010. Due to conditions in the wellbore, the working interest partners’ elected to abandon the bottom section of the well and discontinue testing of the well after inconclusive results in the C-7 and C-9 sands. In April 2012, Tamandua-1 was temporarily abandoned to allow re-entry for future testing and evaluation. The Company and the other working interest owners moved the rig to the Cachirre location and began drilling on May 18, 2012. In June 2012, SK Innovation and the Company elected to abandon the Cachirre #1 well. In September 2012, drilling operations commenced on the Zorro Gris well, the third well on Block CPO-4.

The assignment to the Company of the interest in CPO-4 is conditioned upon the approval by ANH, the National Hydrocarbon Agency of Colombia, and the Republic of Korea. To date, we have not obtained the written approvals from the Republic of Korea or the ANH. The approval from the Republic of Korea will be requested after the Company has received the approval from the ANH. The farmout agreement with SK Innovation, as amended, requires these approvals by October 31, 2012. Pursuant to the existing farmout with SK Innovation, if the Company does not receive the approvals by October 31, 2012, the agreement calls for a thirty day grace period during which the Company and SK Innovation have agreed to meet to discuss possible amendments to the farmout agreement which would facilitate, or avoid the need for, the approvals. As SK Innovation has already extended the arbitrary cut-off date set forth in the farmout agreement three times, including the most recent extension to October 31, 2012, we believe that the Company and SK Innovation have a good working relationship. If the Company and SK Innovation are unable to agree upon any additional amendments during such thirty day grace period, SK Innovation has the right to terminate the farmout agreement. If SK Innovation elects to exercise its termination right as the result of the failure to obtain the written approvals from the ANH or the Republic of Korea, the Company’s interest in Block CPO-4 will be deemed re-assigned back to SK Innovation, and the Company will have the right to have returned any amounts paid under the farmout agreement, without interest ($13,359,003 has been paid through June 30, 2012). In such event, our business would be materially adversely affected.

Impairment

In June 2012, the Company announced that a determination had been made to cease efforts to test and complete the Tamandua #1 and to cease efforts to complete the Cachirre #1 well on the CPO-4 prospect in Colombia. As a result, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $8,436,144 to write off drilling costs attributable to the drilling of the Tamandua #1 and the Cachirre #1 well on the Company’s CPO-4 block.

Peru Z-46

In July 2010, the Company acquired from SK Innovation, subject to regulatory approval, an undivided forty percent (40%) participating interest in Block Z-46, an approximately 2.8 million acre offshore block in Peru. Block Z-46 has over 5,600 km of reprocessed 2-D seismic data and two wells drilled by Repsol in the 1990’s that established the presence of hydrocarbons. On December 30, 2010, we began acquiring approximately 2,900 kilometers of 2-D seismic data to further delineate prospects in anticipation of a focused 3-D seismic data acquisition in the future. During 2011, we acquired an additional 3,134 km of 2D seismic data to further delineate prospects in anticipation of a focused 3D acquisition in the future.

Based on this data, prospective drilling sites would be determined and site prep would begin as the proper environment and other approvals have been obtained. The assignment to the Company of the participation interest in Block Z-46 is conditioned upon the approval of the assignment by Perupetro. On March 13, 2012, the Company received a certificate of qualification from Perupetro, which sets forth Perupetro’s determination that the Company has the legal, technical, economic, and financial capacity to assume the assignment from SK Innovation of the 40% working interest in Block Z-46. The letter of qualification is an important milestone in the approval of the assignment, which is subject to official ratification and issuance of a Supreme Decree by the government of the Republic of Peru. The farmout agreement with SK Innovation required approval from Perupetro by May 30, 2012. The Company and SK Innovation are working to further extend the deadline for approval based on Perupetro’s qualification described above. As SK Innovation has already extended the arbitrary cut-off date set forth in the farmout agreement, including the most recent extension to May 30, 2012, we believe that the Company and SK Innovation have a good working relationship. If the Company and SK Innovation are unable to agree upon any additional amendments during such thirty day grace period, SK Innovation has the right to terminate the agreement. If SK Innovation elects to exercise its termination right, the Company’s interest in Block Z-46 will be deemed re-assigned back to SK Innovation, and the Company will have the right to have returned any amounts paid under the farmout agreement, without interest ($5,586,941 has been paid through June 30, 2012). In such event, our business would be materially adversely affected.

Peru Block XXIV and TEA

The Company has also acquired an undivided 5% working interest in Block XXIV Peru. Under the terms of the amendment, the Company acquired an undivided 5% working interest in Block XXIV and an undivided 2% working interest in the Peru TEAs. The assignment to the Company of the interests in Block XXIV and the Peru TEA are also subject to the approval of Perupetro, along with certain governmental agencies of the Republic of Peru. Until such time as the approvals are received, Upland is holding the Block XXIV and Peru TEA interests in escrow. Upland has begun the process of obtaining the necessary approvals on behalf of the Company.

Block XXIV is located in the Sechura/Talara Basin in Peru. Block XXIV consists of 276,137 gross acres (13,807 net) of which approximately 80,000 are offshore and 196,000 are onshore. The offshore portion of the block is highly prospective. During 2011, Upland acquired 200 km of 2D seismic data on Block XXIV which is currently in processing. Going forward, we understand that Upland will conduct further geologic studies with the goal to determine two onshore seismically defined drilling locations during fiscal year 2012 in seismically defined locations.

Technical Evaluation Areas I, II, III, and IV of the Peru TEA are contiguous blocks that together comprise 40,321,163 gross acres (806,423 net). The Peru TEA runs south on the western flank of the Andes Mountains from the border with Ecuador to near Lima. This greenfield opportunity will require geological evaluation, including the acquisition of aeromagnetic survey and 2-D seismic data, before we evaluate drilling opportunities. During 2011, Upland completed a gravity aeromagnetic and satellite imaging study on the TEA which will be used to narrow the areas of interest for further geologic study.

At June 30, 2012, the Company does not have the cash or other resources to fund all of the costs described above, which are summarized below. At June 30, 2012, the Company’s investment in oil and gas properties and estimated remaining fiscal 2012 commitments are as follows:

	Total Costs at June 30, 2012		Remaining 2012 Commitment

Block XXIV and TEA – Peru	$	4,306,367	$	700,000

Note 5 – Income Taxes

Potential benefits of income tax losses are not recognized in the accounts until realization is more likely than not. The Company has incurred tax net operating losses of approximately $20,176,000 which commence expiring in 2023 if not previously utilized. In accordance with GAAP, the Company is required to compute tax asset benefits for net operating loss carryforwards. The potential benefit of net operating loss carryforwards has been offset by a valuation allowance in these financial statements because the Company cannot be assured it is more likely than not it will utilize the net operating losses carried forward in future years.

The valuations of the tax loss carryforward and the valuation allowance thereon were as follows:

	June 30, 2012			December 31, 2011
Net operating loss carryforward benefit	$	6,859,812		$	5,962,063
Stock-based compensation expense		121,523			73,473

(Unaudited)

At June 30, 2012, the Company had approximately $20,176,000 of federal net operating loss carryforwards for tax reporting purposes available to offset future taxable income. The federal net operating loss carryforwards expire on various dates from 2023 through 2031. Under the Tax Reform Act of 1986, the amounts of and benefits from net operating losses carried forward may be impaired or limited in certain circumstances. Events which may cause limitations in the amount of net operating losses the Company may utilize in any one year include, but are not limited to, a cumulative ownership change of more than 50 percent over a three-year period.

The Company has determined that an ownership change has occurred. Because of ownership change, utilization of the net operating loss carryforwards may be subject to an annual limitation under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, which is determined by first multiplying the value of the Company’s stock at the time of the ownership change by the applicable long-term, tax-exempt rate, and then could be subject to additional adjustments, as required. Any limitation may result in expiration of a portion of the net operating loss carryforwards before utilization. Further, until a study is completed and any limitations known, no amounts are being considered as an uncertain tax position or disclosed as an unrecognized tax benefit. Due to the existence of the valuation allowance, future changes in the Company’s unrecognized tax benefit will not impact its effective tax rate. Any carryforwards that will expire prior to utilization as a result of such limitations will be removed from deferred tax assets with a corresponding reduction of the valuation allowance.

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion highlights the principal factors that have affected our financial condition and results of operations as well as our liquidity and capital resources for the periods described. This discussion contains forward-looking statements. Please see “Forward-Looking Statements” above and “Risk Factors” included in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2011, filed with the SEC on November 29, 2011 (the “2011 Form 10-K”), for a discussion of the uncertainties, risks and assumptions associated with these forward-looking statements.

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting, whereby revenues are recognized when earned, and expenses are recognized when incurred. These consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2012 and 2011, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 are unaudited.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, Cont.

The total measured target depth will be approximately 13,000 feet, with the primary objectives being the Mirador, Guadalupe, and Une formations. The assignment to the Company of the interest in CPO-4 is conditioned upon the approval by ANH, the National Hydrocarbon Agency of Colombia, and the Republic of Korea. To date, we have not obtained the written approvals from the Republic of Korea or the ANH. The approval from the Republic of Korea will be requested after the Company has received the approval from the ANH. The farmout agreement with SK Innovation, as amended, requires these approvals by October 31, 2012. Pursuant to the existing farmout with SK Innovation, if the Company does not receive the approvals by October 31, 2012, the agreement calls for a thirty day grace period during which the Company and SK Innovation have agreed to meet to discuss possible amendments to the farmout agreement which would facilitate, or avoid the need for, the approvals. As SK Innovation has already extended the arbitrary cut-off date set forth in the farmout agreement three times, including the most recent extension to October 31, 2012, we believe that the Company and SK Innovation have a good working relationship. If the Company and SK Innovation are unable to agree upon any additional amendments during such thirty day grace period, SK Innovation has the right to terminate the farmout agreement. If SK Innovation elects to exercise its termination right as the result of the failure to obtain the written approvals from the ANH or the Republic of Korea, the Company’s interest in Block CPO-4 will be deemed re-assigned back to SK Innovation, and the Company will have the right to have returned any amounts paid under the farmout agreement, without interest ($13,359,003 has been paid through June 30, 2012). Pursuant to existing agreements, our current obligation remaining on CPO-4 during 2012 is approximately $3.4 million.

Block Z-46. Block Z-46 is located in the Trujillo Basin offshore Peru. Block Z-46 consists of 2,803,411 gross acres (1,121,411 net) and is located in northern Peru. Water depths on the block range from 50 meters to 1000 meters. This block is operated by SK Innovation. Gulf United and our Block Z-46 partner have reprocessed 5,600 kilometers of 2-D seismic data. On December 31, 2010, we began acquiring an additional 2,904 kilometers of infill 2-D seismic data focused in the southern portion of the block where several 2-D defined Tertiary prospects are stacked with 2-D defined Paleozoic prospects. Based on the results of the new 2-D seismic data, we plan to acquire 3-D seismic data in calendar year 2012 to be used in the selection of drilling locations. No independent engineering estimates have been prepared at this time. In December 2011, the joint venture partners approved the work plan and budget for Z-46. The assignment to the Company of the participation interest in Block Z-46 is conditioned upon the approval of the assignment by Perupetro. On March 13, 2012, the Company received a certificate of qualification from Perupetro, which sets forth Perupetro’s determination that the Company has the legal, technical, economic, and financial capacity to assume the assignment from SK Innovation of the 40% working interest in Block Z-46. The letter of qualification is an important milestone in the approval of the assignment, which is subject to official ratification and issuance of a Supreme Decree by the government of the Republic of Peru. The farmout agreement with SK Innovation required approval from Perupetro by May 30, 2012. The Company and SK Innovation are working to further extend the deadline for approval based on Perupetro’s qualification described above. As SK Innovation has already extended the arbitrary cut-off date set forth in the farmout agreement, including the most recent extension to May 30, 2012, we believe that the Company and SK Innovation have a good working relationship. If the Company and SK Innovation are unable to agree upon any additional amendments during such thirty day grace period, SK Innovation has the right to terminate the agreement. If SK Innovation elects to exercise its termination right, the Company’s interest in Block Z-46 will be deemed re-assigned back to SK Innovation, and the Company will have the right to have returned any amounts paid under the farmout agreement, without interest ($5,586,941 has been paid through June 30, 2012). Pursuant to existing agreements, under the work plan and budget, our current obligation remaining on Z-46 during 2012 is approximately $6.1 million.

Block XXIV. Block XXIV is located in the Sechura/Talara Basin in Peru. Block XXIV consists of 276,137 gross acres (13,807 net) of which approximately 80,000 are offshore and 196,000 are onshore. The offshore portion of the block is highly prospective. During 2011, Upland acquired 200 km of 2D seismic data on Block XXIV which is currently in processing. Going forward, we understand that Upland will conduct further geologic studies to prepare to drill two onshore wells during calendar 2012 in seismically defined locations. Based on information from the operator, our estimated current obligation remaining on Block XXIV during 2012 is approximately $200,000.

TEA I, II, III, IV. Technical Evaluation Areas I, II, III, and IV of the Peru TEA are contiguous blocks that together comprise 40,321,163 gross acres (806,423 net). The Peru TEA runs south on the western flank of the Andes Mountains from the border with Ecuador to near Lima. This greenfield opportunity will require geological evaluation, including the acquisition of aeromagnetic survey and 2-D seismic data, before we evaluate drilling opportunities. During 2011, Upland completed a gravity aeromagnetic and satellite imaging study on the TEA which will be used to narrow the areas of interest for further geologic study. Based on information from the operator, our estimated current obligation remaining on the TEA’s is approximately $500,000.

Results of Operations for Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2012

We have not earned any revenues during the period from inception through June 30, 2012. We have not attained profitable operations and are, therefore, dependent upon obtaining additional debt or equity financing. If we are unable to obtain additional financing, there is substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern.

Set forth below is a summary of our commitments under existing agreements (which excludes funds that may be required for general working capital purposes):

Contractual Obligations	Payments due by period (in thousands)
	Remainder of 2012			2013			2014		Total
Commitments under employment agreements	$	762		$	1,079		$	456	$	2,297
Commitments under consulting contracts		93			182			182		457
Commitments under participation and farmout agreements:
Block CPO-4		3,366	(1)		4,420	(2)		-		7,786
Block Z-46		6,072	(3)		23,835	(4)		-		29,907

Peru TEA		500			-			-		500
Total	$	10,993		$	29,516		$	638	$	41,146

(1)

The current obligation remaining on Block CPO-4 includes drilling cost of approximately $3.1 million for the third well, and an estimated $266,000 for joint operating costs.

(2)

The 2013 obligation includes $2.24 million for 3-D seismic expense and $1.7 million for seismic acquisition costs incurred subsequent to July 31, 2010 owed to Houston American Energy 30 days after ANH approval, and estimated joint operating costs of approximately $480,000.

(3)

The current obligation remaining on Block Z-46 includes $4.5 million for seismic acquisition costs, $882,000 in value added tax and $690,000 in joint operating costs.

(4)

The 2013 estimated obligation on Block Z-46 includes a payment of $2.9 million for past costs due to SK Innovation 30 days after final approval of interest transfer. Based on the current work program, the estimated obligation on Z-46 for calendar 2013 includes an estimated $16.5 million for the 3-D seismic acquisition, an estimated $1.4 million in joint operating costs and an estimated $3.0 million for VAT.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 30, 2012, the Company has current assets of $1,946,490, current liabilities of $282,828, and a resulting working capital of $1,663,662. We currently have no sources of revenue. On April 19 and April 20, 2012, the Company consummated a private offering under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to which it sold to accredited investors 88,250,000 unregistered shares of its common stock at a purchase price of $0.08 per share for gross proceeds of $7,060,000 and net proceeds of $6,761,248.

We also estimated that we would need approximately $11 million to fund our contractual commitments for the remaining portion of 2012 (excluding funds required for general working capital purposes). Moreover, we will require approximately $29.5 million to fund our contractual commitments during 2013 (excluding funds required for general working capital purposes). This will require that we raise approximately $38.8 million during the remaining portion of 2012 and 2013 to fund these expenditures. In August 2012, the Company acquired an undivided fifty percent (50%) participation interest in Block VIM-2, and an undivided forty percent (40%) participation interest in Block SSJN-5. As a result, we estimate that we will need to raise an additional $42.3 million to fund our obligations under these blocks during the periods ending December 31, 2012 and 2013.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, Cont.

Future equity financings may be dilutive to our stockholders, and the terms of future equity financings may include preferences or rights superior to our common stock. Debt financings may involve a pledge of assets and will rank senior to our common stock. We have historically financed our operations through best efforts private debt and equity financing. We do not have any credit or equity facilities available with financial institutions, stockholders or third party investors, and will continue to rely on best efforts financings. There is no assurance that we can raise additional capital from external sources subsequent to this offering. Failure to raise additional capital, on favorable terms or at all, will have a material adverse effect on our operations, could result in the loss of our interests in our exploration projects, and will likely cause us to curtail or cease operations.

Operating Expenses

For the quarter ended June 30, 2012, operating expenses decreased $12,000 as compared to the same quarter in 2011. The decrease occurred primarily due to the $152,000 reduction in professional fees as well as the $252,000 decrease in consulting expense offset by a $370,000 increase in salary and related expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, operating expenses decreased $937,000 as compared to the same six months in 2011. The decrease occurred primarily due to the $381,000 reduction in professional fees and the $552,000 reduction in consulting expense as well as the $644,000 decrease in interest expenses offset by a $544,000 increase in salary and related expenses and a $55,000 increase in travel expense.

Net Loss

The Company incurred a net loss of $10,447,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 which is $8,431,000 more than the net loss of $2,016,000 incurred for the quarter ended June 30, 2011. The increased loss is due almost completely to the recognition of impairment on oil and gas properties offset by the reduction in expenses noted above. For the six months ended June 30, 2012 versus June 30, 2011, there was a $7,658,000 increase in net loss for the reasons noted above as well as the recognition of the $150,000 gain from discontinued operations recognized in 2011.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company's periodic reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. As of the end of the period covered by this report, management carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act).

Based upon the evaluation, the Company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that as of June 30, 2012, its disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. In addition, the Company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that its disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

The Company's management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company's internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance as to the reliability of the Company's financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

In connection with the evaluation of the Company's internal controls during the Company's last fiscal quarter covered by this report required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, the Company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer have determined that as of June 30, 2012, there were no changes to the Company's internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially effect, the Company's internal controls over financial reporting.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed under Item 1 of the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on November 29, 2011. These risk factors should be read in conjunction with those in the Company’s Form 10-K.

We will need to raise capital to fund our fiscal 2012 and 2013 operations and to fund additional acquisitions. Failure to meet our capital requirements in the future will cause us to curtail future growth plans or cut back our operations.

At June 30, 2012, the Company has current assets of $1,946,490, current liabilities of $282,828, and a resulting working capital of $1,663,662. We currently have no sources of revenue. At June 30, 2012, we estimated that we would need approximately $11 million to fund our contractual commitments for the remaining portion of 2012 (excluding funds required for general working capital purposes). Moreover, we will require approximately $29.5 million to fund our contractual commitments during 2013 (excluding funds required for general working capital purposes). This will require that we raise approximately $38.8 million during the remaining portion of 2012 and 2013 to fund these expenditures. In August 2012, the Company acquired an undivided fifty percent (50%) participation interest in Block VIM-2, and an undivided forty percent (40%) participation interest in Block SSJN-5. As a result, we estimate that we will need to raise an additional $42.3 million to fund our obligations under these blocks during the periods ending December 31, 2012 and 2013.

Additionally, a component of our business strategy is to acquire additional oil and gas interests in Colombia and Peru should attractive opportunities become available. If we do identify a potential acquisition, we may need to raise significantly more than noted above to fund the acquisition. Future equity financings may be dilutive to our stockholders, and the terms of future equity financings may include preferences or rights superior to our common stock. Debt financings may involve a pledge of assets and will rank senior to our common stock. We have historically financed our operations through best efforts private debt and equity financing. We do not have any credit or equity facilities available with financial institutions, stockholders or third party investors, and will continue to rely on best efforts financings. There is no assurance that we can raise additional capital from external sources. Failure to raise additional capital, on favorable terms or at all, will have a material adverse effect on our operations, could result in the loss of our interests in our exploration projects, and will likely cause us to curtail or cease operations.

The Company has no other sources of financing and will continue to rely on best efforts for equity, equity equivalent, or debt financings and borrowings from stockholders. There are no additional commitments from or assurances that we will be able to obtain additional capital on terms favorable to the Company or at all. Failure to raise additional capital, on favorable terms or at all, will have a material adverse effect on our operations, could result in the loss of our interests in our exploration projects, and will likely cause us to curtail or cease operations

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

There were no unregistered sales of the Company’s equity securities during the quarter ended June 30, 2012, other than those previously reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K.
