EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A (the “Amendment”) amends the quarterly report of Capital City Energy Group, Inc. (the “Company”) on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 14, 2008. The Purpose of the Amendment is to amend for omission related to preferred stock dividends in the statement of operations, financial statement disclosures stating that conditions exist which raise doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and other typographical changes. Additionally, disclosures concerning management's discussion and analysis of operations with respect to the three months ended September 30, 2008 and the corresponding three months in the preceding fiscal year were unintentionally omitted from the Form 10-Q filed November 14, 2008. In addition, the three month analysis contained in the Management Discussion and Analysis was inadvertently omitted from the original filed version of Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2008.  For the convenience of the reader, this Amendment No. 1 sets forth the Original Filing in its entirety.

On September 30, 2003, Marketing changed its name to Capital City Petroleum, LLC (the “Company”).  On September 28, 2006, the Company was merged with Capital City Petroleum, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. The main purpose of the Company was to form and manage the oil and gas interests of various Capital City Energy Funds (the “Funds”). On October 18, 2007, the Company was converted into Capital City Petroleum, Inc., a Delaware corporation.

At September 30, 2008, Capital City managed oil and gas investments for three energy funds (Capital City Energy Fund XIV, LLC, Capital City Energy Fund XVI, LP and Capital City Energy fund XVIII, LP) for which a management fee is earned. These investments consisted of non-operating oil and gas working interests in wells in Louisiana, Ohio, Texas, Pennsylvania, Alabama, Nebraska, Colorado, Oklahoma and Arkansas with net revenue interests ranging from 50.00% to 0.0013%.

The Company’s results of operations are dependent on four sources of revenue within our Triad Business Model.

The Fund Management Division has two sources of income. The first being the 2% annual management fees earned for managing the Capital City Energy Funds and the second being the difference between the prices received by the Company for its natural gas and crude oil products and the cost to find, develop, produce and market such resources.

The Strategic Acquisition Division contains the third source of revenue the Company receives through consulting fees earned by Eastern Well Services, LLC a wholly subsidiary.  Eastern Well Services is an oilfield service company which is transitioning from receiving consulting fees from oil & gas operating companies to becoming a full service oilfield service company and charging for services such as wireline, logging, testing and other well completion services.

The Principal Investment Division contains our primary and fourth source of revenue which accounts for 90% of revenue earned in the first nine months which is the oil and natural gas revenue received from the ownership interests in more than 110 energy properties located in 12 different states.

The first nine months was a transition period for the Company as we moved from receiving the majority of revenue from the Fund Management Division of the Company in 2007 and previous years to receiving the majority of revenue from the direct ownership of interests in energy properties. We acquired Avanti Energy Partners during the first six months of the year which is managing the Capital City Energy Funds and will transition to a full service oil and natural gas operating company before the end of 2008. We completed a second acquisition in the first six months in the oilfield service sector, The company acquired was Eastern Well Services,  LLC and began operations through consulting oil and natural gas operating companies on their well completion in the continental United States and internationally.

We moved our accounting offices to North Canton, Ohio which affords the Company greater opportunity to employ quality oil and gas professionals from the large pool of oil and gas professionals without the added cost of relocating them to Columbus, Ohio, our corporate offices. We also leased a facility situated on 30 acres in Burbank, Ohio for the headquarters of Eastern Well Services. This facility will allow Eastern to service oil and gas operating companies for their well completion in the Northeastern Ohio area, Northwestern Pennsylvania area and Northwestern New York as they move to become a full service oilfield service company.

Note 3.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Capital City's consolidated financial statements are based on a number of significant estimates, including oil and gas reserve quantities which are the basis for the calculation of depreciation, depletion and impairment of oil and gas properties, and timing and costs associated with its retirement obligations.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in banks and financial instruments which mature within three months of the date of purchase.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject Capital City to concentration of credit risk consist of cash. At September 30, 2008, Capital City had approximately $144,412 in cash in excess of federally insured limits (the FDIC insured deposits have been temporarily increased to $250,000).  Capital City maintains cash accounts only at large high quality financial institutions and Capital City believes the credit risk associated with cash held in banks is remote.

Capital City's receivables primarily consist of accounts receivable from oil and gas sales. Accounts receivable are recorded at invoiced amount and generally do not bear interest. Any allowance for doubtful accounts is based on management's estimate of the amount of probable losses due to the inability to collect from customers. As of September 30, 2008, no allowance for doubtful accounts has been recorded and none of the accounts receivable have been collateralized.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

As of September 30, 2008, the fair value of cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable, including amounts due to and from related parties, if any, approximate carrying values because of the short-term maturity of these instruments.

Property and Equipment

The cost of leasehold improvement and office equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from three to five years.

Oil and Gas Properties, Successful Efforts Method

Capital City uses the successful efforts method of accounting for oil and gas producing activities. Under the successful efforts method, costs to acquire mineral interests in oil and gas properties, to drill and equip exploratory wells that find proved reserves, and to drill and equip development wells are capitalized. Costs to drill exploratory wells that do not find proved reserves, geological and geophysical costs, and costs of carrying and retaining unproved properties are expensed as incurred.

Unproved oil and gas properties that are individually significant are periodically assessed for impairment of value, and a loss is recognized at the time of impairment by providing an impairment allowance. Other unproved properties are amortized based on Capital City's experience of successful drilling and average holding period. Capitalized costs of producing oil and gas properties, after considering estimated dismantlement and abandonment costs and estimated salvage values, are depreciated and depleted by the unit-of-production method. Support equipment and other property and equipment are depreciated over their estimated useful lives.

On the sale or retirement of a complete unit of a proved property, the cost and related accumulated depreciation, depletion, and amortization are eliminated from the property accounts, and the resultant gain or loss is recognized. On the retirement or sale of a partial unit of proved property, the cost is charged to accumulated depreciation, depletion, and amortization with a resulting gain or loss recognized in income. On the sale of an entire interest in an unproved property for cash or cash equivalent, gain or loss on the sale is recognized, taking into consideration the amount of any recorded impairment if the property had been assessed individually.

If a partial interest in an unproved property is sold, the amount received is treated as a reduction of the cost of the interest retained.

Note 3.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)
 
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities

The Company evaluates and consolidates where appropriate its less than majority-owned investments pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 46,   Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51   (FIN 46).  A variable interest entity (VIE) is a corporation, partnership, trust, or any other legal structure used for business purposes that does not have equity investors with proportionate voting rights or has equity investors that do not provide sufficient financial resources for the entity to support its activities.  FIN 46 requires a VIE to be consolidated by a company if that company is the primary beneficiary of the VIE.  The primary beneficiary of a VIE is an entity that is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the VIE’s activities or entitled to receive a majority of the entity’s residual returns, or both. The Company has determined that the Capital City Energy Funds qualify as VIEs, however, they have determined that the Company is not the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, the Company has not consolidated the Capital City Energy Funds.

Asset Retirement Obligations

Capital City follows the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations” (SFAS No. 143). The fair value of an asset retirement obligation is recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The present value of the estimated asset retirement costs is capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset. For Capital City, asset retirement obligations relate to the abandonment of oil and gas producing facilities. The amounts recognized are based upon numerous estimates and assumptions, including future retirement costs, future recoverable quantities of oil and gas, future inflation rates and the credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate.

Income Taxes

Capital City accounts for income taxes pursuant to SFAS No 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," which requires recognition of deferred income tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our financial statements or tax returns. Deferred taxes are provided on temporary differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets using the enacted tax rates that are expected to apply to taxable income when the temporary differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

In July 2006, the FASB issued "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes," an interpretation of FAS 109 ("FIN 48"), effective for years beginning after December 15, 2006. FIN 48 establishes a more-likely-than-not threshold for recognizing the benefits of tax return positions in the financial statements. Also, FIN 48 implements a process for measuring those tax positions which meet the recognition threshold of being ultimately sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities. The adoption of FIN 48 had no material impact to the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

Capital City recognizes oil and natural gas revenue under the sales method of accounting for its interests in producing wells as oil and natural gas is produced and sold from those wells. Oil and natural gas sold by Capital City is not significantly different from Capital City’s share of production.  Revenues from management fees are recognized in the preceding month at end of each calendar quarter and paid in arrears.

Income (Loss) per Share of Common Stock

Basic and diluted net income per share calculations are presented in accordance with SFAS No. 128 and are calculated on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Common stock equivalents are excluded from the calculation when a loss is incurred as their effect would be anti-dilutive. The basic income per share of common stock is based on the weighted average number of shares issued and outstanding at the date of the financial statements. Capital City had 3,030,300 warrants at September 30, 2008 that were out of the money and are therefore anti-dilutive.

Share-Based Compensation

The Company adopted SFAS No. 123-R "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Revised" effective January 1, 2006, using the modified prospective method. Under FASB Statement 123(R), the Company estimates the fair value of each stock option award at the grant date by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

No recently issued accounting pronouncements are expected to have a significant effect on Capital City’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Reclassification

Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

Note 4.   Going Concern

The Company’s financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.  The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations.  Capital City has incurred cumulative operating losses through September 30, 2008 of $953,668 and had a working capital deficit of $900,741 at September 30, 2008.  Revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 were not sufficient to cover our operating costs and we continue to generate negative cash flows from operations.  There can be no assurance that Capital City can or will be able to generate sufficient revenue or complete any debt or equity financing that might be needed to support operations in the future.

In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management’s plan is to obtain such resources for the Company by obtaining capital from management and significant shareholders sufficient to meet its minimal operating expenses and seeking equity and/or debt financing. However management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.  Capital City is in the process of raising additional capital through a related party private fund management company.

Note 5.   Oil and Gas Properties

Oil and gas properties are stated at cost. Depletion expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 amounted to $565,508, and $0, respectively.

Note 6.   Participating Interest Financing Arrangement

The Company entered into a series of financing agreements for aggregate proceeds of $1,500,000 whereby participating revenue interests were conveyed to individual lenders in certain oil and gas properties owned by the Company. The principal terms of the agreements provided for a production payment from the net revenue interests in certain wells in which the Company owns a working interest; provides a minimum return on investment of 12% in the first year only; and provides a put option to the holders in Month 13. The put option provides the holder the sole right to put the participating revenue interest to the Company for the original principal amount. The put options expire during the period March to May of 2009. The Company determined that these transactions were financings as the put option creates a debt obligation until such option expires, at which time, the transactions will be recorded as a sale. Any gain or loss on the sale of the properties would then be recognized in the statements of operations.

Note 7.   Stockholders’ Equity

On July 29, 2008, pursuant to an exempt offering under Reg.

MANAGEMENT’S ANALYSIS OF OPERATIONS

Our Business Plan

Capital City Energy Group, Inc., through its consolidated operations, is an independent oil and natural gas company currently focused on the execution of its Triad business model.  The Triad business model includes our Fund Management Division, Principal Investment Division and Strategic Acquisition Division.

We have continued to build the foundations of the company for the benefit of our shareholders in order to grow the Company into a vertically integrated oil and gas company by investing in our three separate Divisions.  We have accomplished this by investing in people that are well seasoned in the oil and gas industry.  We can only become the best by hiring the best.

Doug Crawford joined the organization during the past quarter as our Chief Accounting Officer to oversee our Accounting Group located in our North Canton, Ohio office.  He was formerly CFO and a Director of Ports Petroleum Corporation in Wooster, Ohio; a $750,000,000 wholesaler of gasoline which operates 80 Fuel Marts in 15 States.  He will remain on the Board of Directors of Ports Petroleum Corporation and has no relationship to the CEO of Capital City.

Chuck Kendall joined the organization in the past quarter as Director of Business Development and Land Management.  He has more than 30 years of oil and gas experience to the Company. His expertise lies in supervising land leasing, right-of-way acquisitions, drill site surveying and permitting of new wells and large lease-acquisitions programs which included an 80,000-acre program for Belden & Blake Corp. in Eastern Ohio.  He owned Petroleum Land Services, which later became PetroSearch, Inc. which provided land-related services to oil and gas companies throughout the Appalachian basin. Prior clients included Great Lakes Energy Partners, Mason-Dixon Energy, Schreiner Oil & Gas Inc., GonzOil Inc. and Cardinal Oil Company

The Fund Management Division is overseen by our wholly owned subsidiary, Avanti Energy Partners, LLC (“Avanti”).  This Division has historically marketed direct participation programs to regional broker-dealers, called the “Capital City Energy Funds.” We have focused on expanding our distribution channels for these funds through the first 9 months of 2008 and have grown the distribution from one broker-dealer with 30 brokers at the beginning of 2008 to more than 8 broker-dealers with over 1,200 brokers. The focus for distribution of the Capital City Energy Funds through-out the remainder of 2008 will target financial planning firms, Certified Public Accounting firms and small family offices.

The reason for this shift in distribution channels signals our growth strategy into becoming a fully integrated oil and natural gas company. Avanti has now become an oil and gas operating company, operating our own wells and not just partnering with other oil and gas operators.

We closed our most recent fund, Capital City Energy Fund XVII LP, on November 7, 2008, which will be our last fund structured as a limited partnership. We began a new chapter for our highly successful Capital City Energy Funds on November 10, 2008 due to the overwhelming demand from high net worth individuals and institutions to invest alongside Avanti in oil and gas ventures. This structure has a higher minimum investment, allowing us to reduce the distribution costs significantly, while providing the qualified investors higher first year tax write-offs, quicker return of their contributed capital and direct ownership in the oil or natural gas wells.

The first “fund” of this type began accepting partners on November 10, 2008 and we believe it will be warmly received by investors.  This project is called “Capital City Energy Fund – Homer Prospect 1.” The Homer Prospect is a 10 well drilling program located in Medina and Ashland County, Ohio targeting the Clinton Sandstone formation with total well depths ranging from 2,700’ to 3,000’. This project is surrounded by other wells currently in operation that have produced an average of approximately 35 million cubic feet of natural gas per well during their first year of production. Overall, the cumulative life of each well is expected to produce approximately 175 million cubic feet of natural gas.

These wells will be operated and primarily owned by Avanti.  We have targeted five wells to be drilled before the end of the year and the balance to be drilled before March 31, 2009.  We anticipate our wholly owned subsidiary Eastern Well Services, LLC ("Eastern") will perform some of the well completion services.  Securities offered will not be or have not been registered under the Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements

The Principal Investment Division is also overseen by our wholly owned subsidiary, Avanti.  We now currently own more than 110 fractional interests in various energy properties located in 12 different states and operated by some of the largest oil and natural gas companies in the country.  These energy properties include deep oil wells in Northwest Texas, Oklahoma and Louisiana, natural gas wells in the Barnett and Fayetteville Shale of Texas, coal-bed methane wells in the Dakotas and pipelines in the Gulf Coast.  The Powder River Basin continues to be a strong producing region for the Principal Investment Division. Our key well in Niobrara County, Wyoming, produced net revenue of $289,803 on an investment of $179,682 in the third quarter. Avanti will continue to seek prospects yielding this type of return.

However, holding true to our statements announced in the second quarter of this year our focus has shifted to our own backyard in the Appalachian Basin and Oklahoma area where we will have the ability to operate our own wells through our wholly owned subsidiary Avanti and also perform our own well completion through another wholly owned subsidiary Eastern thus increasing our overall net margins.  We have acquired numerous acreage positions in the Appalachian Basin that will be drilled and completed in the current quarter with the expectation to bring these new wells online and generating revenue for the company before the end of the year.

The Strategic Acquisition Division continues to make significant strides through Eastern, a wholly owned subsidiary.  Eastern opened its Corporate Headquarters in Burbank, Ohio in the past quarter. Situated on 30 acres, this facility is completing construction of three additional bays for a total of six bays to house wireline trucks and equipment and anticipates being fully operational with wireline services late in 2008.  Eastern recently opened an office in Hominy, Oklahoma with three fulltime employees and has targeted numerous oilfield service companies to acquire over the next several months.

Our Mission

To maximize both ethically and responsibly the total returns to the owners of the Company --- our shareholders.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2008:

REVENUES

On a consolidated basis oil and gas revenues increased to $760,850 and our net loss was $450,614 during the three month ended September 30, 2008, compared to oil and gas revenue of $28,818 and a net loss of $243,641 recorded during the same period for 2007.

Management revenues decreased to $22,702 over the three months ended September 30, 2008, compared to $65,882 for same period in 2007.

LEASE OPERATING EXPENSES AND DRY HOLE EXPENSE

For the quarter ended September 30, 2008, lease operating expenses (LOE) increased to $184,567 compared to $6,729 during the same quarter ended September 30, 2007 due to our direct ownership of the energy properties acquired in fourth quarter of 2007 from the Capital City Energy Funds, instead of just managing the Funds.

Typical LOE expenses include operating labor, field supervision, water hauling and disposal fees, communications, fuel, leased vehicles, environmental and safety compliance.

DEPRECIATION AND DEPLETION

Depreciation and depletion expenses totaled $215,425 for the quarter ended September 30, 2008, compared to $0 for the quarter ended September 30, 2007. This increase was expected due to the $11,700,000 acquisition of the oil and gas properties owned by Capital City Energy Funds V through XII completed in the fourth quarter of 2007.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

For the three month period ending September 30, 2008, the general and administrative expenses totaled $889,361 which was an increase over expenses of $283,612 posted during the same time period in 2007.  The increase in operating expenses was driven by significant one-time costs as we continued to accelerate the execution of our Triad model business plan, the costs associated with the $11,700,000 acquisition of the oil and gas properties owned by Capital City Energy Funds V through XII, the cost associated with the reverse merger in the first quarter of 2008, the one-time start-up expenses associated with the establishment of our North Canton accounting office and headquarters of Eastern Well Services in Burbank, Ohio, stock options granted to Directors and various stock incentive bonuses given to key employees.

INTEREST EXPENSE

For this quarter ended September 30, 2008, interest expense of $140,447, up substantially from its level of $3,299 recorded for the same quarter, 2007.  Interest in 2008 is attributed to the $1,500,000 participation financing arrangement added in early 2008.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE

We had an income tax benefit of $194,129 for the three months ended September 30, 2008.  For the three months ended September 30, 2007, the Company was operated as a LLC and did not accrue for income tax expenses.

NET LOSS

Net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was $450,614 compared to a net loss of $246,940 for the same period in 2007.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of September 30, 2008, we had total current assets of $1,179,253. The current assets consisted mainly of cash in the amount of $394,412, prepaid expenses in the amount of $14,518 and accounts receivable and accrued revenues in the amount of $650,384.

Our total current liabilities as of September 30, 2008 were $2,079,994. The current liabilities consist of accounts payable and accrued expenses in the amount of $388,579, notes payable-current portion in the amount of $1,621,251 and $70,164 of debt related to a participating interest financing arrangement. In addition, we had $6,578,366 in stockholder’s equity as of September 30, 2008.
 
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations.  Capital City has incurred cumulative operating losses through September 30, 2008 of $953,668 and had a working capital deficit of $900,741 at September 30, 2008.  Revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 were not sufficient to cover our operating costs and we continue to generate negative cash flows from operations.  There can be no assurance that Capital City can or will be able to generate sufficient revenue or complete any debt or equity financing that might be needed to support operations in the future.

In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management’s plan is to obtain such resources for the Company by obtaining capital from management and significant shareholders sufficient to meet its minimal operating expenses and seeking equity and/or debt financing. However management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.
An acceleration of acquisitions or our planned investments in energy properties and continued expansion of our various divisions over the next twelve months may require additional expenditures. Additional financing through partnering, public or private equity financings, lease transactions or other financing sources may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all. An initial equity financing could result in significant dilution to our shareholders.

Additional financing through partnering, public or private equity financings, lease transactions or other financing sources may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all. An initial equity financing could result in significant dilution to our shareholders.

GOING CONCERN

Capital City requires additional financing to grow its business and fund its operations.  The Company’s unaudited interim consolidated financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. Capital City has incurred cumulative operating losses through September 30, 2008 of $953,668 and had a working capital deficit of $884,411 at September 30, 2008.  Revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 were not sufficient to cover our operating costs and we continue to generate negative cash flows from operations. The Company continues to analyze its monthly cost structure to reduce the overall cash expenditures until additional capital is raised or cash flows from operations are generated. There can be no assurance that Capital City can or will be able to generate sufficient revenue or complete any debt or equity financing that might be needed to support operations in the future. Capital City is in the process of raising additional capital through a related party private fund management company.

CASH FLOW FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES

For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008, net cash used in operating activities was $876,141 versus net cash provided by operating activities of $681,561 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007.

CASH FLOW FROM INVESTING ACTIVITIES

For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008, net cash provided by investing activities was $645,730 primarily attributed to our lease acquisition and continued rework program. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2007 net cash provided by investing was $318,860. Our investing activities were funded from the use of cash from operations and financing.

CASH FLOW FROM FINANCING ACTIVITIES

For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008, net cash provided in financing activities was $1,715,832 versus net cash used in financing activities of $874,647 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2007.  Financing activities principally consisted of $678,500 proceeds from exercise of warrants and $1,500,000 of proceeds related to our participation interest financing.

HEDGING

We did not hedge any of our oil or natural gas production during 2008 and have not entered into any such hedges from September 30, 2008 through the date of this filing.

RESERVES

The present value of the proved developed producing reserves, discounted at 10% (PV-10) per year, stood at $7,030,938 as of July 1, 2008, and represented a 12% increase in PV-10 present value of the portfolio from June 1, 2007. This is due to a much stronger commodity price environment for both crude oil and natural gas during this same period.

As of July 1, 2008, net proved developed producing oil reserves stood at 168,950 barrels, which was a 51% increase over the period ending June 1, 2007. In addition, net proved developed producing gas reserves stood at 385,675 MCF (thousand cubic feet), which represented a 2% decrease over the period ending June 1, 2007.

The reserve report for the Company was completed by James Engineering, Inc. located in Marietta, Ohio for the period ending July 1, 2008.  Previously, a reserve report was completed by Netherland, Sewell & Associates of Houston, Texas for the period ending June 1, 2007.  The reserve estimates were prepared in accordance with generally accepted petroleum engineering and evaluation principles as set forth in the Standards Pertaining to the Estimating and Auditing of Oil and Gas Reserves promulgated by the Society of Petroleum Engineers.
 
 
The Society of Petroleum Engineers and the Securities and Exchange Commission generally define proved reserves as those oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids which upon analysis of geological and engineering data appear with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in the future from known oil and gas reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions.  Proved developed reserves are proved reserves that are expected to be recovered from existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods.  Proved developed producing reserves are proved developed reserves to be produced from completion intervals open to production in existing wells.
 
CONTRACTUAL COMMITMENTS

None.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

As of September 30, 2008, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

On August 11, 2008, Mr. Timothy W. Crawford, our CEO issued a letter to our Board of Directors stating that effective immediately and retroactively, he elected to perform his duties as CEO without compensation for the 2008 calendar year.

These former directors surrendered an aggregate of 500,000 Stock Options that had previously been granted to them. None of the options had vested in any amount.

Mr. Crawford and Joseph Smith, both members of our Board of Directors are greater than 10% Members in CCSSM Capital Partners, LLC, which manages the Opportunity Fund, LLC. On July 29, The Opportunity Fund, an Ohio LLC managed by Timothy W. Crawford, our CEO and Chairman of the Board of Directors; Mr. Joseph Smith, Director; Mr. Todd Crawford, Former Director/Beneficial Owner; Gary Sturtz, Beneficial Owner and Mr. Michael McKenzie, Beneficial Owner purchased one Unit pursuant to a Rule 506 private placement memorandum that we have in effect at this time.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Critical Accounting Policies

Oil and Gas Properties, Successful Efforts Method

Capital City uses the successful efforts method of accounting for oil and gas producing activities. Under the successful efforts method, costs to acquire mineral interests in oil and gas properties, to drill and equip exploratory wells that find proved reserves, and to drill and equip development wells are capitalized. Costs to drill exploratory wells that do not find proved reserves, geological and geophysical costs, and costs of carrying and retaining unproved properties are expensed as incurred.

- 22 -


Unproved oil and gas properties that are individually significant are periodically assessed for impairment of value, and a loss is recognized at the time of impairment by providing an impairment allowance. Other unproved properties are amortized based on Capital City's experience of successful drilling and average holding period. Capitalized costs of producing oil and gas properties, after considering estimated dismantlement and abandonment costs and estimated salvage values, are depreciated and depleted by the unit-of-production method. Support equipment and other property and equipment are depreciated over their estimated useful lives.
 
On the sale or retirement of a complete unit of a proved property, the cost and related accumulated depreciation, depletion, and amortization are eliminated from the property accounts, and the resultant gain or loss is recognized. On the retirement or sale of a partial unit of proved property, the cost is charged to accumulated depreciation, depletion, and amortization with a resulting gain or loss recognized in income. On the sale of an entire interest in an unproved property for cash or cash equivalent, gain or loss on the sale is recognized, taking into consideration the amount of any recorded impairment if the property had been assessed individually.

If a partial interest in an unproved property is sold, the amount received is treated as a reduction of the cost of the interest retained.

In April 2005, the FASB issued Staff Interpretation No. 19-1 ("FSP 19-1") Accounting for Suspended Well Costs, which provides guidance on the accounting for exploratory well costs and proposes an amendment to FASB -35- Statement No. 19 ("FASB 19"), Financial Accounting and Reporting by Oil and Gas Producing Companies. The guidance in FSP 19-1 applies to enterprises that use the successful efforts method of accounting as described in FASB 19. The guidance in FSP 19-1 did not have a material impact our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. Capital City had no capitalized exploratory well costs at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007.

Asset Retirement Obligations

Capital City follows the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations” (SFAS No. 143). The fair value of an asset retirement obligation is recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The present value of the estimated asset retirement costs is capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset. For Capital City, asset retirement obligations relate to the abandonment of oil and gas producing facilities. The amounts recognized are based upon numerous estimates and assumptions, including future retirement costs, future recoverable quantities of oil and gas, future inflation rates and the credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate.

Income Taxes

Capital City accounts for income taxes pursuant to SFAS No 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," which requires recognition of deferred income tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our financial statements or tax returns. Deferred taxes are provided on temporary differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets using the enacted tax rates that are expected to apply to taxable income when the temporary differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

In July 2006, the FASB issued "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes," an interpretation of FAS 109 ("FIN 48"), effective for years beginning after December 15, 2006. FIN 48 establishes a more-likely-than-not threshold for recognizing the benefits of tax return positions in the financial statements. Also, FIN 48 implements a process for measuring those tax positions which meet the recognition threshold of being ultimately sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities. The adoption of FIN 48 had no material impact to the Company's consolidated financial statements. The Company files tax returns in the United States and states in which it has operations and is subject to taxation. Tax years subsequent to 2004 remain open to examination by U.S. federal and state tax jurisdictions.

Revenue Recognition

Capital City recognizes oil and natural gas revenue under the sales method of accounting for its interests in producing wells as oil and natural gas is produced and sold from those wells. Oil and natural gas sold by Capital City is not significantly different from Capital City’s share of production.
 
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices. We are exposed to risks related to increases in the prices of fuel and raw materials consumed in exploration, development and production. We do not engage in commodity price hedging activities.

ITEM 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

MANAGEMENT'S EVALUATION ON THE EFFECTIVENESS OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have reviewed and continue to evaluate the effectiveness of our controls and procedures over financial reporting and disclosure (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act") Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. The term "disclosure controls and procedures" is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. This term refers to the controls and procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In designing and evaluating our controls and procedures over financial reporting and disclosure, our management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives and our management necessarily is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief accounting officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2008. Based on that evaluation, our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2008.

The principal reasons that our disclosure and procedure controls were determined to be ineffective was due principally to the number of adjustments identified by our auditors in their review of the quarterly financial statements. Our assessment considered the recent increase in disclosure and procedure controls following our reverse merger into a public company. We concluded that we need to implement additional disclosure controls and procedures related to the evaluation of accounting policies and procedures used in our accounting records particularly related to oil and gas accounting matters and increased training of personnel in SEC reporting requirements. Management is developing a plan to enhance controls in these areas to ensure the accurate and timely filing of its SEC reports.

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL

The Company has engaged various consultants to evaluate, document and assist management in the implementation of controls and procedures over financial reporting and disclosure.
