NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation, Organization and Business Overview


The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of our management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary to present fairly our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year.

The financial statements included herein as of March 31, 2010, and for the three month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, are unaudited, and in the opinion of management, the information furnished reflects all material adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and of the results for the interim period presented.
 
Premier Energy Corp. fka Premier Nursing Products, Corp. (the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of the State of Florida on December 26, 2006. On September 25, 2008 the Board of Directors and holder of a majority of our issued and outstanding common stock adopted a resolution changing the name of Premier Nursing Products Corp. to Premier Energy Corp. and in connection therewith on September 25, 2008 filed Articles of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of Florida. The effective time of the name change was close of business on October 6, 2008. There were no mandatory exchange of stock certificates. Following the name change, the share certificates which reflected our prior name continue to be valid. Certificates reflecting the corporate new name will be issued in due course as old share certificates are tendered for exchange or transfer to our transfer agent in activities raising capital.

On January 30, 2009, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with Auxerre Trading Ltd., a British Virgin Islands Company (“Auxerre”) pursuant to which the Company acquired 51% of the outstanding securities of Karbon in exchange for 107,406,000 shares of our common stock (the “Karbon Acquisition”). Considering that, following the merger, Auxerre controls the majority of the Company’s outstanding voting common stock and the Company effectively succeeded our otherwise minimal operations to those that are theirs, Karbon is considered the accounting acquirer in this reverse-merger transaction.  A reverse-merger transaction is considered, and accounted for as, a capital transaction in substance; it is equivalent to the issuance of Karbon securities for the Company’s net monetary assets, which are deminimus, accompanied by a recapitalization. Accordingly, the Company (Premier) will not recognize any goodwill or other intangible assets in connection with this reverse merger transaction. Karbon is the surviving and continuing entity and the historical financials following the reverse merger transaction will be those of Karbon.  As a result, of this reverse merger and recapitalization, Karbon’s stockholders’ equity has been restated in terms of Premier’s legal equity for all periods presented in these financial statements. In accordance with Statement of Position 98-5 (“SOP 98-5”), the Company expensed $82,698 representing the excess of liabilities over the assets at January 31, 2009 the date of the transaction as organization costs.

All reference to Common Stock shares and per share amounts have been retroactively restated to effect the reverse acquisition as if the transaction had taken place as of the beginning of the earliest period presented.

Premier was a "shell company" (as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) immediately prior to our a cquisition of 51% of KARBON pursuant to the terms of the share exchange agreement.  As a result of such acquisition, the Company’s operations, in addition to the acquisition, exploration and development, if warranted, of prospective oil and gas properties, will include (i) consulting and working together with KARBON to plan and execute any exploration and development activities they conduct, (ii) reviewing annualized budgets from KARBON, and (iii) approving costs in excess of certain prescribed amounts by KARBON. Consequently, the Company believes that acquisition has caused us to cease to be a shell company as we no longer have nominal operations and also are no longer considered a development stage enterprise as of the effective date of this transaction.
 
On January 30, 2009, prior to the Karbon Acquisition and the issuance of the 107,406,000, ZRV Consulting, Inc., the former majority shareholder of Premier, returned 107,406,000 shares of common stock of Premier for cancellation.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Premier Energy Corp., and its legal subsidiary KARBON, CJSC after eliminating all intercompany transactions. KARBON, CJSC was organized October 16, 2000 as a Closed Joint Stock Company under the Civil Code of the Russian Federation and carries on its principal activity in the territory of the Russian Federation.

In conjunction with the transaction with Karbon, Premier adopted the December 31 year end of Karbon the operating company and the accounting successor.

The registered address of the Karbon is: 1A Ilekskaya Street, 460034, Orenburg Russia.

The principal activity of the Company is the exploration and production of oil and gas within the Russian Federation.

Note 2 - Summary of significant accounting policies

Business and economic environment

The Russian Federation has been experiencing political and economic change, which has affected and will continue to affect the activities of enterprises operating in this environment. Consequently, operations in the Russian Federation involve risks, which do not typically exist in other markets.

The accompanying financial statements reflect management’s assessment of the impact of the business environment in the country in which the Company operates and the financial position of the Company. The future business environments may differ from management’s assessment.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of oil and gas reserves, assets and liabilities, 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.  Estimates of oil and gas reserve quantities provide the basis for calculations of depletion, depreciation, and amortization (“DD&A”) and impairment, each of which represents a significant component of the accompanying financial statements.

Revenue

The Company derives revenue primarily from the sale of produced natural gas and crude oil.  The Company reports revenue as the gross amount received before taking into account production taxes and transportation costs, which are reported as separate expenses.  Revenue is recorded in the month the Company’s production is delivered to the purchaser, but payment is generally received between 30 days after the date of production.  No revenue is recognized unless it is determined that title to the product has transferred to a purchaser.
 
Reporting currency

The Company maintains its accounting records in Russian roubles. The Company’s functional currency is the Russian rouble.

The Company’s reporting currency is United States Dollar ($). The balance sheet is translated into US Dollars at a principal rate of exchange. The statement of income is translated at average principal rate of exchange for the appropriate periods.

The principal rate of exchange used for translating foreign currency balances was following:
 
 as of March 31, 2010
 
$1 = RUB29.36;
 as of December 31, 2009
 
$1 = RUB30.24;
 as of March 31, 2009
 
$1 = RUB34.01;
 as of December 31, 2008
 
$1 = RUB29.38.

Average principal rate used of exchange income and expenses were following:
 
for three months period ended March 31, 2010
 
$1 = RUB29.89;
for year ended December 31, 2009
 
$1 = RUB31.72;
for three months period ended March 31, 2009
 
$1 = RUB33.93;
for year ended December 31, 2008
 
$1 = RUB24.86

Resulting translation adjustments are reflected as a separate component of comprehensive income.

The exchange rate fluctuation of the Russian Rouble against the US Dollar may affect the book value of the Company’s assets and liabilities.

Accordingly, the translation of amounts recorded in this currency into US dollars should not be construed as a representation that such currency amounts have been, could be or will in the future be converted into US dollars at the exchange rate shown or at any other exchange rate.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, deposits held with banks, and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market (net realizable value). The cost of inventories comprises all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.


Accounts and notes receivable

Accounts and notes receivable are recorded at their transaction amounts less provisions for doubtful debts. Provisions for doubtful debts are recorded to the extent that there is a likelihood that any of the amounts due will not be obtained. As of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 the Company did not have any allowances for uncollectible accounts receivable.

Property, plant and equipment

Fixtures and fittings are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the expected economic life of the asset. Gains and losses on the sale of property, plant and equipment are included in other business income. Costs related to repair and maintenance activities are expensed in the period in which they are incurred and significant renewals and improvements are capitalized.
 
Vehicles under capital leases are initially recorded at the present value of minimum lease payments. These assets are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of lease term or the estimated useful life of the asset.

Expected economic life of the assets is summarized as follows:

Office equipment
5 years

Oil and Gas Properties

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") 19, Financial Accounting and Reporting by Oil and Gas Producing Companies, oil and gas properties and the related expenses are recognized under the successful efforts method. This method prescribes that certain exploration costs, including the costs of exploratory dry holes, delay rentals, geological and geophysical costs are charged to expense when incurred.

Exploratory well costs (including costs associated with stratigraphic test wells) are initially capitalized pending determination of whether commercial oil and gas reserves have been discovered by the drilling effort. The length of time necessary for this determination depends on the specific technical or economic difficulties in assessing the recoverability of the reserves. If a determination is made that the well did not encounter oil and gas in economically viable quantities, the well costs are expensed and are reported in "exploration expenses".

Exploratory drilling costs are temporarily capitalized pending determination of whether the well has found proved reserves if both of the following conditions are met:
 
·
The well has found a sufficient quantity of reserves to justify, if appropriate, its completion as a producing well, assuming that the required capital expenditure is made; and
·
Satisfactory progress toward ultimate development of the reserves is being achieved, with the Company making sufficient progress assessing the reserves and the economic and operating viability of the project.

The Company evaluates the progress made on the basis of regular project reviews which take into account the following factors:
·
First, if additional exploratory drilling or other exploratory activities (such as seismic work or other significant studies) are either underway or firmly planned, the Company deems there to be satisfactory progress. For these purposes, exploratory activities are considered firmly planned only if they are included in the Company’s three-year exploration plan/budget.
·
In cases where exploratory activity has been completed, the evaluation of satisfactory progress takes into account indicators such as the fact that costs for development studies are incurred in the current period, or that governmental or other third-party authorizations are pending or that the availability of capacity on an existing transport or processing facility awaits confirmation.

Costs, including "internal" costs relating to drilling and equipping of development wells, including development dry holes, as well as costs required for drilling and equipping of injection wells in the process of oil and gas reserves development, are capitalized. These costs are included in oil and gas properties in the balance sheet.

Depreciation, depletion and amortization of capitalized costs of oil and gas properties is calculated using the unit-of-production method based upon proved reserves for the cost of property acquisitions and proved developed reserves for development costs.
 
Production and related overhead costs are expensed as incurred.
 
Impairment of long-lived assets

Long-lived assets, including blocks with proved oil and gas reserves, are assessed for potential impairment in accordance with SFAS 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.

Oil and gas properties are assessed whenever events or circumstances indicate potential impairment. If the carrying value of oil and gas properties is not recoverable through undiscounted cash flows, impairment is recognized. The impairment is determined on the basis of the estimated fair value of oil and gas properties which, in turn, is measured by discounting future net cash flows. Discounted future cash flows from oil and gas fields are based on the management estimates of future prices that rely on recent actual prices and published prices for forward transactions; such prices are applied to forecast production volumes at particular fields with further discounting for the expected risk level.

Forecast production volumes shall be understood as reserves, including probable reserves that are proposed to be extracted using a known amount of capital expenditures. Production volumes and prices correspond to the internal plans and forecasts, as well as other data in the published financial statements. Assumptions regarding future prices and costs used to assess oil and gas properties for impairment differ from those used in the Standardized measure of proved oil and gas reserves. During the three months period ended March 31, 2010, no property impairments was recorded.

Grouping of assets for the purpose of impairment is performed on the basis of the lowest level of identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows from other groups of assets – as a rule, for oil and gas properties such level is represented by the field. Long-lived assets intended by management for use during a period not exceeding one year are recorded at the lower of depreciated value or fair value, less selling expenses.

Acquisition costs of unproved oil and gas properties are assessed for impairment on a regular basis and any estimated impairment is charged to expense.

Asset retirement obligations

The Company has asset retirement obligations associated with its core business activities. The nature of the assets and potential obligations are as follows:

Exploration and Production – The Company’s exploration, development and production activities involve the use of the following assets: wells, related equipment, operating sites and in-field pipelines.

Generally, licenses and other regulatory acts require that such assets be decommissioned upon the completion of production. According to these requirements, the Company is obliged to decommission wells, dismantle equipment, restore the sites and perform other related activities. The Company’s estimates of these obligations are based on current regulatory or license requirements, as well as actual dismantling and other related costs. Asset retirement obligations are calculated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations.
 
Deferred tax

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the balance sheet liability method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent it is more likely than not that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be applied. Deferred tax is calculated using the tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date and that are expected to apply when the deferred tax asset concerned is realized or the deferred tax liability is settled.
 
Interest-bearing borrowings

The Company’s financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable are carried at cost, which approximates fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. The recorded value of the Company’s credit facility approximates its fair value as it bears interest at a floating rate.

The Company had $658,676 in loans outstanding under its credit agreements as of March 31, 2010 and $522,844 in loans outstanding under its credit agreements as of December 31, 2009.
 
Contingencies

Certain conditions may exist as of the balance sheet date, which may result in losses to the Company but the impact of which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur.

If a Company’s assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability is accrued and charged to the statement of income. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable, but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss, is disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. Loss contingencies considered remote or related to unasserted claims are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the nature of the guarantee is disclosed.
 
Income Taxes

Until January 1, 2009 operations in the Russian Federation were subject to Federal and city income tax rates that total 9.5% and a regional income tax rate that varies from 10.5% to 14.5% at the discretion of the individual regional administration. The combined statutory tax rate in the Russian Federation is 24%.
 
Starting on January 1, 2009, the combined statutory tax is 20% (Federal and city income tax rates that total 2.0% and a regional income tax rate that varies from 13.5% to 18.0%.
 
The U.S. Parent has had only losses from inception and has established a reserve equal to 100% of any benefit for Net Operating Loss Carry Forwards 
 
Stock-based Compensation
 
The Company follows SFAS No. 123R "Share-Based Payment" ("SFAS 123R"), a revision to SFAS No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123.) The company has yet to award any stock compensation, so the adoption of this pronouncement has not had material effect on the financial statements
 
Loss per Share
 
Basic and diluted net loss per common share is computed based upon the weighted average common shares outstanding as defined by Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share." As of March 31, 2010 and 2009, there were no common share equivalents outstanding.
 
Business Segments
 
The Company operates in one segment and therefore segment information is not presented
 
Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities
 
Effective June 1, 2008, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157), which provides a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP. SFAS 157 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. SFAS 157 requires that valuation techniques maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. SFAS 157 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the valuation inputs into three broad levels.
 
There are three general valuation techniques that may be used to measure fair value, as described below:
 
A)  
Market approach – Uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. Prices may be indicated by pricing guides, sale transactions, market trades, or other sources;
 
B)  
Cost approach – Based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost); and
 
C)  
Income approach – Uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount based on current market expectations about the future amounts (includes present value techniques and option-pricing models). Net present value is an income approach where a stream of expected cash flows is discounted at an appropriate market interest rate.
 
 
 
 
11

 
 

 
Financial assets and liabilities are valued using either Level 1 inputs based on unadjusted quoted market prices within active markets or using Level 2 inputs based primarily on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active or inactive markets. For certain long-term debt, fair value is based on present value techniques using inputs derived principally or corroborated from market data. Using Level 3 inputs using management’s assumptions about the assumptions market participants would utilize in pricing the asset or liability. In the Company’s case this entailed assumptions used in pricing models for attached warrant calculations. Valuation techniques utilized to determine fair value are consistently applied.

The Company’s short-term debt is the only item that is subject to ASC 820 in the amounts of $658,676 and $522,844 at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.
 
Recent accounting pronouncements

In February 2010 the FASB issued Update No. 2010-09 “Subsequent Events (Topic 855)” (“2010-09”). 2010-09 clarifies the interaction of Accounting Standards Codification 855 “Subsequent Events” (“Topic 855”) with guidance issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) as well as the intended breadth of the reissuance disclosure provision related to subsequent events found in paragraph 855-10-50-4 in Topic 855. This update is effective for annual or interim periods ending after June 15, 2010. Management is currently evaluating whether these changes will have any material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In February 2010 the FASB issued Update No. 2010-08 “Technical Corrections to Various Topics” (“2010-08”). 2010-08 represents technical corrections to SEC paragraphs within various sections of the Codification. Management is currently evaluating whether these changes will have any material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In January 2010 the FASB issued Update No. 2010-06 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures—Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements” (“2010-06”). 2010-06 requires new disclosures regarding significant transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements, and disclosures regarding purchases, sales, issuances and settlements, on a gross basis, for Level 3 fair value measurements. 2010-06 also calls for further disaggregation of all assets and liabilities based on line items shown in the statement of financial position. This amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating whether adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In January 2010 the FASB issued Update No. 2010-05 “Compensation—Stock Compensation—Escrowed Share Arrangements and Presumption of Compensation” (“2010-05”). 2010-05 re-asserts that the Staff of the Securities Exchange Commission (the “SEC Staff”) has stated the presumption that for certain shareholders escrowed share represent a compensatory arrangement. 2010-05 further clarifies the criteria required to be met to establish a position different from the SEC Staff’s position. The Company does not believe this pronouncement will have any material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In January 2010 the FASB issued Update No. 2010-04 “Accounting for Various Topics—Technical Corrections to SEC Paragraphs” (“2010-04”). 2010-04 represents technical corrections to SEC paragraphs within various sections of the Codification. Management is currently evaluating whether these changes will have any material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In January 2010 the FASB issued Update No. 2010-02 “Accounting and Reporting for Decreases in Ownership of a Subsidiary—a Scope Clarification” (“2010-02”) an update of ASC 810 “Consolidation.” 2010-02 clarifies the scope of ASC 810 with respect to decreases in ownership in a subsidiary to those of a subsidiary or group of assets that are a business or nonprofit, a subsidiary that is transferred to an equity method investee or joint venture, and an exchange of a group of assets that constitutes a business or nonprofit activity to a non-controlling interest including an equity method investee or a joint venture. Management, does not expect adoption of this standard to have any material impact on its financial position, results of operations or operating cash flows. Management does not intend to decrease its ownership in wholly-owned subsidiary.
 
Note 3 - Going concern

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to meet its obligations and continue its operations for the next twelve months. Realization values may be substantially different from carrying values as shown and these financial statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values and classification of assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. At March 31, 2010, the Company had not yet achieved profitable operations giving rise to substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
 
The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon:
(i) raising additional capital to fund operations and to complete the recapitalization,
(ii) the further development of the North-Kopanskoye oilfield and,
(iii) ultimately, the achievement of profitable operations.
 
 
 
12

 
 

 
Management is currently contemplating several additional financing sources to fund operations until profitability can be achieved. However, there can be no assurance that additional financing can be obtained on conditions considered by management to be reasonable and appropriate, if at all. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might arise as a result of this uncertainty.

Note 4 - Concentration of credit risk

Substantially all of the Company's receivables are within the oil and gas industry, primarily from purchasers of oil and gas. Although diversified among many companies, collectability is dependent upon the financial wherewithal of each individual company as well as the general economic conditions of the industry. The receivables are not collateralized. To date the Company has had minimal bad debts.

During the three months period ended March 31, 2010, sales to two unrelated customers represented 65%  and 35% of total revenue (during the three months period ended March 31, 2009 sales to three unrelated customers represented 55.4 %, 42.2% and 2.4% of total revenue).

Note 15 - Commitments, contingencies and operating risks

Capital expenditure, exploration and investment programs

The entity owns and operates the asset (natural gas and crude oil reserves located in the North Kopanskoye Field) under which it has commitments for capital expenditure in relation to its exploration programs. It relates to an existing license agreement in the Russian Federation.

Development plan calls for the implementing of pressure maintenance by water flooding both the Artinsky-1 and Bashkirian A4 Central oil reservoirs. A combination of procedures and injectors totaling 18 wells in Artinsky-1 reservoir and 9 wells in the Bashkirian A4 Central reservoir are scheduled to be active when the water flood development plans are fully implemented. Additionally, two wells are scheduled to be completed in the Bashkirian A4 South reservoir, which will be produced by primary depletion.

The capital commitments to undertake the drilling and oilfield construction activities envisaged by the North Kopanskoye Field exploration and development plan, were assessed and estimated by the management to be in the region of $70,000,000 to $73,000,000. Unless the Company is able to raise sufficient capital, the Company will not be able to meet its license obligations and may not be able to continue as a going concern.

Russian Business Environment

While there have been improvements in the Russian economic situation, such as an increase in gross domestic product and a reduced rate of inflation, Russia continues economic reforms and development of its legal, tax and regulatory frameworks as required by a market economy. The future stability of the Russian economy is largely dependent upon these reforms and developments and the effectiveness of economic, financial and monetary measures undertaken by the government. In addition, laws and regulations, including interpretations, enforcement and judicial processes, continue to evolve in Russia. Other laws and regulations and certain other restrictions have a significant effect on the Company's industry, including, but not limited to the following issues: rights to use subsurface resources, environmental matters, site restoration, transportation and export, corporate governance, taxation, etc.

Political environment

Trading activity and the profit derived there from may be affected by political, statutory, financial and administrative changes, including the changes in environment protection legislation that are currently underway in Russia.

Insurance

During the normal course of business disputes and claims may arise and there can be uncertainties surrounding the ultimate resolution of these matters.

Taxation

The taxation system in the Russian Federation is relatively new and is characterized by frequent changes in legislation, official pronouncements and court decisions, which are often unclear, contradictory and subject to varying interpretation by different tax authorities. Taxes are subject to review and investigation by a number of authorities, which have the authority to impose severe fines, penalties and interest charges. A tax year remains open for review by the tax authorities during the three subsequent calendar years.

Russian transfer pricing rules were introduced in 1999, giving Russian tax authorities the right to make transfer pricing adjustments and impose additional tax liabilities in respect of all “controlled” transactions, provided that the transaction price deviates from the market price by more than 20%. Controlled transactions include transactions between related entities and certain other types of transactions between independent parties, such as foreign trade transactions with significant (by more than 20%) price fluctuations.

The Russian transfer pricing rules are vaguely drafted, leaving wide scope for interpretation by Russian tax authorities and courts. Due to the uncertainties in interpretation of transfer pricing legislation, the tax authorities may challenge the Company’s prices and propose an adjustment. If such price adjustments are upheld by the Russian courts and implemented, the Company’s future financial results could be adversely affected. In addition, the Company could face significant losses associated with the assessment of prior tax underpaid and related interest and penalties, which could have an adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. The Company’s management believes that such transfer pricing related tax contingencies are remote and therefore may not have any significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Environmental liabilities

Potential liabilities that may arise as a result of changes in laws and regulations and settlement of the civil disputes can not be reliably assessed but they may prove to be material. Under existing legislation, management believes that there are no significant unrecorded liabilities which could have a significant adverse effect on the operating results or financial position of the Company.

Environmental protection

Environmental protection liabilities are carried in accounts when they arise and can be reliably measured and when there are probabilities of arising of such liabilities.

Pension Benefits

The Company makes payments to State Pension Fund of Russian Federation. These payments are calculated by the employer as a percentage of salary expense and are expensed as they are incurred.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
 
The following is an executive summary of what Premier Energy Corp. believes are important results as of and during the three months ended March 31, 2010, which should be considered in the context of the additional discussions herein and in conjunction with its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. We believe such highlights are as follows:
 
 
 
Net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2010 increased 58.3% to $0.11 million from $0.07 million in the comparable period in 2009.
 
 
 
Deterioration in current ratio (defined as current assets divided by current liabilities) of 0.38 to 0.47 at March 31, 2010 as compared at December 31, 2009.
 
 
 
Gross profit margin decreased 162.6% points for the three months ended March 31, 2010 to (189.8)% from (27.2)% in the comparable period in 2009, primarily as a result of $119,258 worth of workover activity undertaken for one of the wells (Well 130 Bis) and increase in other relevant oilfield operation costs.

 
 
General and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue were 64.2% and 210.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, which was primarily due to lower level of, among other factors, regulatory compliance expenses to meet PCAOB and SEC requirements.
 
 
 
Marketing and transportation expenses were up by 64.6%, value up from $0.04 million in the three month period ended March 31, 2009 to $0.06 million at March 31, 2010.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. In connection with the preparation of our financial statements, we are required to make assumptions and estimates about future events, and apply judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and the related disclosures. We base our assumptions, estimates and judgments on historical experience, current trends, and other factors that management believes to be relevant at the time our consolidated financial statements are prepared. On a regular basis, management reviews the accounting policies, estimates, assumptions and judgments to ensure that our consolidated financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with GAAP. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from our assumptions and estimates, and such differences could be material.

Our significant accounting policies are discussed in Note Summary of Significant Accounting Policies , of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1. Financial Statements.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In February 2010 the FASB issued Update No. 2010-09 “Subsequent Events (Topic 855)” (“2010-09”). 2010-09 clarifies the interaction of Accounting Standards Codification 855 “Subsequent Events” (“Topic 855”) with guidance issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) as well as the intended breadth of the reissuance disclosure provision related to subsequent events found in paragraph 855-10-50-4 in Topic 855. This update is effective for annual or interim periods ending after June 15, 2010. Management is currently evaluating whether these changes will have any material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In February 2010 the FASB issued Update No. 2010-08 “Technical Corrections to Various Topics” (“2010-08”). 2010-08 represents technical corrections to SEC paragraphs within various sections of the Codification. Management is currently evaluating whether these changes will have any material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In January 2010 the FASB issued Update No. 2010-06 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures—Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements” (“2010-06”). 2010-06 requires new disclosures regarding significant transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements, and disclosures regarding purchases, sales, issuances and settlements, on a gross basis, for Level 3 fair value measurements. 2010-06 also calls for further disaggregation of all assets and liabilities based on line items shown in the statement of financial position. This amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating whether adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In January 2010 the FASB issued Update No. 2010-05 “Compensation—Stock Compensation—Escrowed Share Arrangements and Presumption of Compensation” (“2010-05”). 2010-05 re-asserts that the Staff of the Securities Exchange Commission (the “SEC Staff”) has stated the presumption that for certain shareholders escrowed share represent a compensatory arrangement. 2010-05 further clarifies the criteria required to be met to establish a position different from the SEC Staff’s position. The Company does not believe this pronouncement will have any material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In January 2010 the FASB issued Update No. 2010-04 “Accounting for Various Topics—Technical Corrections to SEC Paragraphs” (“2010-04”). 2010-04 represents technical corrections to SEC paragraphs within various sections of the Codification. Management is currently evaluating whether these changes will have any material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In January 2010 the FASB issued Update No. 2010-02 “Accounting and Reporting for Decreases in Ownership of a Subsidiary—a Scope Clarification” (“2010-02”) an update of ASC 810 “Consolidation.” 2010-02 clarifies the scope of ASC 810 with respect to decreases in ownership in a subsidiary to those of a: subsidiary or group of assets that are a business or nonprofit, a subsidiary that is transferred to an equity method investee or joint venture, and an exchange of a group of assets that constitutes a business or nonprofit activity to a non-controlling interest including an equity method investee or a joint venture. Management does not expect adoption of this standard to have any material impact on its financial position, results of operations or operating cash flows. Management does not intend to decrease its ownership in wholly-owned subsidiary.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended March 31, 2010 and 2009

The following summarizes our operational highlights during three months ended March 31, 2010:

The Company’s oil operations consist of its development and production efforts in the Russian Federation. The following table sets forth its domestic oil operating results for   three months ended March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2009 (in US Dollars):

During three months ended March 31, 2010, the Company’s domestic oil revenues were up by 58.3%, due to decreased oil production by 60.8% and increase of selling price by 118.9%.

The Company’s domestic oil operating expenses increased 46.8%, value increasing from $0.36 million at the prior the three month period ended March 31, 2009 to $0.52 million at March 31, 2010. The increase of marketing and transportation expenses and oil and gas production expense (including additional $119,258 worth of workover activity undertaken for one of the wells) are the primary reason for the overall increase in the operating expenses. Additional workover expenses together with increasing oilfield costs and falling level of production during the period of three months ended March 31, 2010 resulted in significantly higher costs per bbl.

The exploration for, and the acquisition, development, production, and sale of, natural gas and crude oil is highly competitive and capital intensive. As in any commodity business, the market price of the commodity produced and the costs associated with finding, acquiring, extracting, and financing the operation are critical to profitability and long-term value creation for stockholders. Generating reserve and production growth while containing costs represents an ongoing focus for management and is made particularly important in our business by the natural production and reserve decline associated with oil and gas properties. In addition to developing new reserves, we compete to acquire additional reserves, which involve judgments regarding recoverable reserves, future oil and gas prices, operating costs and potential environmental and other liabilities, title issues and other factors.

Since March 31, 2010 there has been no significant material developments.
 
Results of Operations achieved during three months ended March 31, 2010 Compared to three months ended March 31, 2009

We generate all of our revenues in Russian Rubles (RUR). Our revenues have been affected by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.

Records of our Proven Oil and Gas Properties as well as other Property, Plant and Equipment have been also affected by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates in the US GAAP accounts.

We had net loss from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010 of $0.40 million compared to a net loss of $0.37 million for the same period in 2009. Factors contributing to the $0.03 million increase in net loss from three months ended March 31, 2009 to three months ended March 31, 2010 included the following:

·
Oil production net of our interest for three months ended March 31, 2010 was 2,039 Bbls resulting in $108,262 worth of oil sales, at an average wellhead price of $21.28 per Bbls for the three months ended March 31, 2010.
·
In 2009, our net production was 5,199 Bbls resulting in $68,416 worth of oil sales, at an average wellhead price of $9.85.
·
The 46.8% decrease in production volumes resulted from shut-in oil production from Wells 108, 130 and 133 due to operating necessity of workover activities.
·
The 399.4% increase in Oil and gas production expense from $57,837 to $288,847 as a result of $119,258 worth of workover activity undertaken for one of the wells and increase in other relevant oilfield operation costs.

Our marketing and transportation expenses and production taxes (mineral extraction tax) for three months ended March 31, 2010 increased 30.4% to $88,170 from $67,631 in 2009.

General and administrative expenses decreased from $144,246 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 to $69,466 for the three months ended March 31, 2010, due largely to cost control efforts undertaken by the Company.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We have historically met our capital requirements through the issuance of common stock, obtaining contributions of Additional Paid-In Capital from parent and by borrowings. In the future, we anticipate we will be able to provide the necessary liquidity by the revenues generated from the sales of crude oil due to increased production, however, if we do not generate sufficient sales revenues we will continue to finance our operations through equity and/or debt financings.

As the most expeditious way to quickly increase production output, Karbon CJSC has commenced a program of repairs and modernization of the existing wells in the North-Kopanskoye Oilfield in accordance with the approved schedule for work-over of the shut-in oil wells. The exploration wells drilled in 1980s, and subsequently completed and produced, have been shut-in in the meantime due to needed repairs. The current plans call for routine re-work on two shut-in wells by June and full work-over on additional three shut-in wells by March 2011. The aim is to increase production rate in this year from the present 55 bopd to the expected 250 bopd from the existing wells. Local Russian contractor, ARTE, specializing in oil well work-over and modernization, has mobilized the equipment needed and started work at the North-Kopanskoye Oilfield.

Subject to completion of $10,000,000 funding, the current plans also call for other concurrent work in 2010 at the North-Kopanskoye Oilfield, including drilling and completion of two new horizontal production wells by the international drilling company KCA Deutag. Produced oil is presently trucked away after being sold at the wellhead at field-posted prices. With the planned increases in oil production output, the intent is to switch from trucking to more efficient and economic oil export via the adjacent GazpromNeft pipeline system, provided the demand for crude keeps as expected. All needed infrastructure already exists for pipeline export.

Satisfaction of Our Cash Obligations for the Next 12 Months
 
Unless we receive an imminent infusion of cash either through the sale of equity or debt, we will not be adequately capitalized. There is no guarantee that we will be able to obtain funding or if we do obtain funding that will be on adequate terms to meet our drilling commitments and expected general and administrative expenses for the next twelve months. We believe there may be distressed situations that will arise in 2010 that may make the acquisition of assets a viable strategy, and we will evaluate any potential opportunities as they arise. However, there can be no assurance that any additional capital for use in such acquisition will be available to us on favorable terms or at all.
 
Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early stage of operations, particularly companies in the oil and gas exploration industry. Such risks include, but are not limited to, an evolving and unpredictable business model and the management of growth. To address these risks we must, among other things, implement and successfully execute our business and marketing strategy, continue to develop and upgrade technology and products, respond to competitive developments, and attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in addressing such risks, and the failure to do so can have a material adverse effect on our business prospects, financial condition and results of operations.


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not participate in transactions that generate relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships. Such entities are often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities (“SPEs”) or variable interest entities (“VIEs”). SPEs and VIEs can be established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. We were not involved in any unconsolidated SPEs or VIEs at any time during any of the periods presented in this Form 10Q.

From time to time, we enter into contracts that might be construed as off-balance sheet obligations but are normal in the day-to-day course of business in the oil and gas industry. Those contracts could include the contracts discussed directly above under Contractual Obligations. We do not believe we will be affected by these contracts materially differently than other similar companies in the energy industry.


Cash Flows and Capital Expenditures

Our capital budget for 2010 is currently estimated at $10 million for the planned work-over of five existing wells and drilling of two new horizontal wells in the North Kopanskoye Field and for the oil field construction of surface facilities. Our planned 2010 development and exploration expenses could increase if any of the operations associated with our properties experience cost overruns.
 
 
 
 
21

 
 

 
Contractual Obligations

Presently we have no Company hedging policy in place.  Collared hedges have the effect of providing a protective floor while allowing us to share in upward pricing movements to a fixed point. Consequently, while these hedges are designed to decrease our exposure to price decreases, they also have the effect of limiting the benefit of price increases beyond the ceiling. As we need, we may pursue hedging to protect a portion of our production against future pricing fluctuations, or enter into derivative contracts to decrease exposure to commodity price volatility.
 
Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Regulation S-K, the Company is not required to provide information required by this Item.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
Based on an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that 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 (“Exchange Act”) were not effective as of March 31, 2009 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  Our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as the Company did not have the needed accounting personnel to perform required functions.  In order to remediate this weakness, during the second quarter of 2010, the Company engaged an independent consultant to evaluate its needs and provide needed accounting services.
 
 
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2009, which were identified in connection with management’s evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
