DISCLAIMER REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB which are not statements of historical fact are what are known as "forward-looking statements," which are basically statements about the future. For that reason, these statements involve risk and uncertainty since no one can accurately predict the future. Words such as "plans," "intends," "hopes," "seeks," "anticipates," "expects," and the like, often identify such forward looking statements, but are not the only indication that a statement is a forward-looking statement. Such forward-looking statements include statements concerning our plans and objectives with respect to our present and future operations, and statements which express or imply that such present and future operations will or may produce revenues, income or profits. In evaluating these forward-looking statements, you should consider various factors, including those described in this report under the heading "Risk Factors" beginning on page  6 . These and other factors may cause our actual results to differ materially from any forward- looking statement. We caution you not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Although we base these forward-looking statements on our expectations, assumptions, and projections about future events, actual events and results may differ materially, and our expectations, assumptions, and projections may prove to be inaccurate. The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date hereof, and we expressly disclaim any obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this filing.

Forward-looking statements reflect the current view of management with respect to future events and are subject to numerous risks, uncertainties and assumptions. We can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. Should any one or more of such risks or uncertainties materialize or should any underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results are likely to vary materially from those described in this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. There can be no assurance that the projected results will occur, that these judgments or assumptions will prove correct or that unforeseen developments will not occur. We are under no duty to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB.

PART I
 
ITEM 1.   DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
 
Background
 
We were formed on February 21, 2001 under the laws of the State of Delaware.
 
On May 10, 2001, we entered into a letter of intent with Tri-Corp. Enterprises Ltd., or Tri-Corp, a privately-held corporation located in British Columbia, Canada, to jointly develop Gateway Falls R.V. Estates, a recreational vehicle community located on Shuswap Lake near Lee Creek, British Columbia, Canada. Under the terms of the agreement with Tri-Corp, we agreed to forward CDN$1,500,000.00 to the joint venture for the purpose of providing clear title to the development property and for use in the development of property infrastructure. We abandoned this business plan in 2001 due to the British Columbia Financial Institutions Commission's issuance of an order preventing the sale of the recreational vehicle sites.
 
On March 6, 2002, we entered into an option agreement to acquire an interest in the Manchester South Property, a mineral claim located in the Sudbury Mining Division of Ontario, Canada. The agreement, as amended on October 8, 2003, was between us and Terry Loney, doing business as Klondike Bay Resources. Our objective was to conduct mineral exploration activities on the Manchester South Property in order to assess whether the claim possessed commercially exploitable reserves of copper and/or nickel.
 
Under the terms of the option agreement, we would have been deemed to have exercised the option to acquire a 90% interest in the Manchester South Property when we had:
 
·
paid Klondike Bay Resources $7,500 (paid upon the execution of the option agreement); and
 
·
incurred an aggregate of $200,000 of property exploration expenditures on the Manchester South Property within the following periods:
 
·
$25,000 on or before December 31, 2004; and
 
·
a further $175,000 on or before December 31, 2005.
 
Due to our inability to raise sufficient funds to meet the exploration expenditure requirements of the option agreement with Klondike Bay Resources, we were unable to exercise the option and our right to acquire an interest in the Manchester South Property was terminated.
 
On December 29, 2006, we entered into a reorganization agreement with Thatcher Mining Pte Ltd., or Thatcher, a privately-held corporation formed on June 6, 2006 under the laws of Singapore. Thatcher was formed to conduct mining, quarrying and prospecting services and to engage in wholesale and retail sales of certain commodities.
 
Under the terms of the reorganization agreement, we agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Thatcher in exchange for 32,000,000 shares of our common stock. Upon closing the transactions contemplated by the reorganization agreement, we also agreed to make a cash payment of $10,000 to the former shareholders of Thatcher and to execute a royalty agreement pursuant to which we agreed to pay the former shareholders of Thatcher a royalty of $0.40 per metric ton of coal sold by us. We completed the transactions contemplated by the reorganization agreement on February 9, 2007 and, thereafter, Thatcher became our wholly-owned subsidiary.
 
4

 
We formed PT Kubar Resources, or Kubar, a limited liability foreign investment (PMA) company under the laws of the Republic of Indonesia on April 12, 2007, and completed its registration on June 6, 2007. Kubar will be our operating company for Indonesia.
 
On September 12, 2007, we acquired Finchley Resources Pte. Ltd., or Finchley, by assuming its liabilities and expenses, via a transfer of stock from its sole owner. Finchley is a corporation that was formed under the laws of the Republic of Singapore on August 13, 2007. The only expenditures incurred by Finchley were those in association with its formation. We assumed a total of $209 in liabilities from this transaction.
 
We now carry on the business of Thatcher as our sole line of business and all of our operations are conducted by and through Thatcher or its subsidiaries. All references to the “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” for periods prior to the closing of the reorganization transaction refer to KAL Energy, and references to the “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” for periods subsequent to the closing of the reorganization transaction refer to the KAL Energy and its subsidiaries.
 
Current Activities
 
Our business plan is to engage in the exploration, extraction and distribution of coal. We are currently considered to be an exploration stage corporation because we are engaged in the search for coal deposits and are not engaged in the exploitation of a coal deposit. We have not engaged in the preparation of an established commercially mineable coal deposit for extraction or in the exploitation of a coal deposit. We will be in the exploration stage until we discover commercially viable coal deposits on one of our properties, if ever. In an exploration stage company, management devotes most of its activities to acquiring and exploring mineral properties.
 
We have the rights to two large coal concessions situated near the Mahakam River in North Eastern Kalimantan, Indonesia. Further exploration will be required before a final evaluation as to the economic feasibility of coal extraction on these properties can be determined. We have completed phase 1 drilling and obtained a Joint Ore Reserves Committee, or JORC, compliant resource measurement on one of the properties and require additional work to determine the economic viability of the deposit. The result of the programme is an inferred resource of 204 million tons of thermal coal. See item 2 for a further description of the results of the phase I programme.
 
There is no assurance that a commercially viable coal deposit exists on the unexplored portion of either of our current properties. Furthermore, there is no assurance that we will be able to successfully develop our current properties or identify, acquire or develop other coal properties that would allow us to profitably extract and distribute coal and to emerge from the exploration stage.
 
Products
 
Coal is a combustible, sedimentary, organic rock, which is composed mainly of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Coal goes through the process of coalification as it matures, affecting its chemical and physical properties. There are various grades of coal, ranging from low rank coals ( lignite & sub -bituminous) to hard coals ( bituminous & anthracite). Bituminous coal is used as either thermal coal or coking coal, depending on its properties. The properties of the coal determine its value in the market, and include but are not limited to calorific value, sulphur, moisture and ash content.
 
In the event that our coal concessions are found to contain commercially viable coal deposits, they are expected to yield thermal coal , which is primarily used for power generation and industrial uses. According to the World Coal Institute, or the WCI, coal accounts for approximately 39% of the world’s electricity production. Coal is a lower cost fossil fuel, helping it maintain this sizable share of energy consumption. Coal is also used for iron, steel and cement manufacture.
 
International Coal Market
 
According to the WCI, the international coal market is led by the world’s top five national producers: China, United States, India, Russia and Australia, and 16% of global hard coal production, or approximately 775 million tons , is traded internationally. The WCI also estimates that the amount of seaborne traded steam coal has increased by an average of approximately 7% per year over the past 20 years and, according to the WCI, the Pacific Rim market currently accounts for approximately 57% of the total amount of steam coal traded annually. Thermal coal is the largest contributor of this trade and Indonesia is currently the number two world exporter of thermal coal.

According to the WCI, Asia is the largest consumer of coal, accounting for approximately 54% of the total global consumption of coal , and China is the leading user of coal in the region. The Energy Information Association, or the EIA , estimates that the world coal trade should reach approximately 901 million tons by 2015, and 1,122 million tons by 2030. EIA estimates that world coal consumption will grow 74% from 2004 to 2030 and that coal’s share of energy consumption will grow from 24% to 28% from 2004 to 2030. During that period, the EIA estimates that China’s coal consumption will double from 2004 to 2015 and triple from 2004 to 2030, with 50%-60% used in electricity production and close to 40% in industrial uses. The EIA further estimates that total coal imports in Asia should increase from under 200 million tons in 2004 to approximately 500 million tons in   2030. According to Platts, the energy information division of McGraw-Hill, power generation is expected to increase in China and India, with the addition of 562 and 213 coal fired power plants from 2004-2012, respectively.
 
The WCI estimates that global coal demand is expected to grow by 60% through 2030, pushing electrification rates from 66% in 2002 to 78% in 2030. The WCI further estimates that coal supplies 49% to 72% of the energy production in Asian markets. The price of coal as compared to natural gas and oil drives that increased use in the region.
 
Employees
 
As of May 31, 2008, we employed 32 people, each on a full-time basis. To the best of our knowledge, we are compliant with local prevailing wage, contractor licensing and insurance regulations, and have good relations with our employees.
 
Filing Status
 
We file periodic reports, current reports, proxy and information statements and other information with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the Commission. We make available free of charge on our website, www.kalenergyinc.com , our annual reports on Form 10-KSB, quarterly reports on Form 10-QSB, current reports on Form 8-K, proxy and information statements and amendments to those reports and statements as soon as reasonably practicable after we electronically file such materials with or furnish them to the Commission. You may read and copy any materials we file with the Commission at its Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, NE, Washington, D.C. 20549. You may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the Commission at 1-800-SEC-0330. In addition, the Commission maintains an Internet website, www.sec.gov, that contains our periodic reports, current reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding us that we file electronically with the Commission.
 
Risk Factors
 
The following risks could affect our business, financial results and results of operations. These risk factors should be considered in connection with evaluating the forward-looking statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB because these factors could cause the actual results and conditions to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements.
 
Risks Related to Us
 
We are in the exploration stage and have yet to establish our mining operations, which makes it difficult to evaluate our business. There can be no assurance that we will ever generate revenues from operations or ever operate profitably.
 
We are currently in the exploration stage and have yet to establish our mining operations. Our limited history makes it difficult for potential investors to evaluate our business. We need to complete a drilling program and obtain feasibility studies on the properties in which we have an interest in order to establish the existence of commercially viable coal deposits and proven and probable reserves on such properties. Therefore, our proposed operations are subject to all of the risks inherent in the unforeseen costs and expenses, challenges, complications and delays frequently encountered in connection with the formation of any new business, as well as those risks that are specific to the coal industry in general. Despite our best efforts, we may never overcome these obstacles to financial success. There can be no assurance that our efforts will be successful or result in revenue or profit, or that investors will not lose their entire investment.

If we do not obtain financing when needed, our business will fail .
 
As of May 31, 2008, we had approximately $1,944,567 in cash and cash equivalents in our accounts. We estimate that we will need approximately US$5,000,000 in working capital to fund capital and operational costs required to get us through the exploration phase and will need additional working capital following the exploration phase to complete all feasibility and pre production costs to get us to early production. We had subscription agreements for $9,103,010 which were expected to close on a rolling basis through June 15, 2008. We refer to this financing as the June 2008 Financing. We collected $5,803,010 through June 15, 2008. One investor in the June 2008 Financing initially subscribed to purchase 26,666,667 shares of common stock at $0.15 per share for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $4,000,000. Such investor had previously advanced $700,000 to us as part of the outstanding balance for its subscribed shares. We informed such investor that the deadline for payment of the remaining balance of $3,300,000 would be June 13, 2008. On June 13, 2008, such investor informed us that it would be unable to tender payment of the remaining balance on that date. On June 17, 2008, we and the investor amended such investor’s subscription agreement to reduce the number of subscribed shares from 26,666,667 to 4,666,667 for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $700,000. We accepted such investor’s amended subscription for the reduced number of shares and agreed to reduce the total size of the June 2008 Financing from 60,686,732 offered shares to 38,686,732 offered shares for total gross proceeds to us of approximately $5,803,010. We closed the March 2008 Financing on June 17, 2008. We do not have any arrangements for additional financing and we may not be able to obtain financing when required. Obtaining additional financing would be subject to a number of factors, including the market prices for our products, production costs, the availability of credit, prevailing interest rates and the market price for our common stock.
 
Future sales of our equity securities will dilute existing stockholders .
 
To fully execute our long-term business plan, we may need to raise additional working capital through future sales of our equity securities. Any such future sales of our equity securities, when and if issued, would result in dilution to our existing stockholders at the time of issuance.
 
We face numerous uncertainties in confirming the existence of economically recoverable coal reserves and in estimating the size of such reserves, and inaccuracies in our estimates could result in lower than expected revenues, higher than expected costs or failure to achieve profitability.
 
We have not established the existence of a commercially viable coal deposit on the properties in which we have an interest. Further exploration will be required in order to establish the existence of economically recoverable coal reserves and in estimating the size of those reserves. However, estimates of the economically recoverable quantities and qualities attributable to any particular group of properties, classifications of reserves based on risk of recovery and estimates of net cash flows expected from particular reserves prepared by different engineers or by the same engineers at different times may vary substantially. Actual coal tonnage recovered from identified reserve areas or properties and revenues and expenditures with respect to such reserves may vary materially from estimates. Inaccuracies in any estimates related to our reserves could materially affect our ability to successfully commence profitable mining operations.  
 
 
Our future success depends upon our ability to acquire and develop coal reserves that are economically recoverable and to raise the capital necessary to fund mining operations.
 
Our future success depends upon our conducting successful exploration and development activities and acquiring properties containing economically recoverable coal deposits. In addition, we must also generate enough capital, either through our operations or through outside financing, to mine these reserves. Our current strategy includes completion of exploration activities on our current properties and, in the event we are able to establish the existence of commercially viable coal deposits on such properties, continuing to develop our existing properties. Our ability to develop our existing properties and to commence mining operations will depend on our ability to obtain sufficient working capital through financing activities.  
 
Our ability to implement our planned development and exploration projects is dependent on many factors, including the ability to receive various governmental permits.
 
In the event our planned exploration activities confirm the existence of significant coal deposits on our properties, we will then be required to renew our rights in the properties in order to continue with development and mining operations. This may include renewing the existing exploration Kuasa Pertambangan, or KP, on each property, or applying for exploitation KP’s in order to have the right to commence mining operations. We currently intend to maintain interests in the properties described herein by making timely application for renewal of the existing KP’s or by filing applications to obtain the required forms of KP to commence exploitation of the properties. Although we believe that absent unusual circumstances, such as failure to pay rent or fees or the existence of excessive environmental damage, it is common practice for the Indonesian government to approve requests for issuance or renewal of KP’s, there can be no assurance that our applications will be approved. In the event our applications are not approved, we will no longer have any interest in the properties and will be unable to continue with exploration, development or exploitation of those properties.  We would be required to resubmit applications or look for other properties to explore, involving additional time and capital. Additionally, the GPK property requires an additional permit from the Forestry department before Phase II can proceed. We are in the process of obtaining this permit.
We do not own a direct interest in the mining concessions in which we claim to have an interest. Our interests are based upon contractual arrangements which give us rights in the properties without any direct ownership. If it is determined that the contractual arrangements we have established do not satisfy legal requirements or do not give us necessary rights in the properties, we may be unable to proceed with exploration, development or exploitation activities on the properties described herein.
 
Indonesian mining regulations do not currently permit KP’s to be held by non-Indonesian companies or by Indonesian companies which are wholly or partly owned by non-Indonesian persons or entities. Therefore, in order for a non-Indonesian entity such as us to have mining rights on properties in Indonesia, it is necessary to establish special contractual arrangements. We believe that the contractual arrangements we have established, which involve selecting and entering into agreements with Indonesian individuals who act as our nominees in acquiring ownership interests in the KP’s, represent a well established and accepted shed procedure which has been used by many other foreign companies which are currently conducting mining operations in Indonesia. However, there is no assurance that the contractual arrangements we have established are adequate to give us rights to explore, develop and exploit the properties or that our rights in such properties would be upheld in the event of a legal challenge by governmental officials or by a third party. Any challenge to the contractual arrangements we have established could delay the exploration or development of the properties and could ultimately result in the loss of any right or interest in such properties.    
 
Due to variability in coal prices and in our cost of producing coal, as well as certain contractual commitments, we may be unable to sell coal at a profit.
 
In the event we are able to commence coal production from our properties, we will plan to sell any coal we produce for a specified tonnage amount and at a negotiated price pursuant to short-term and long-term contracts. Price adjustment, "price reopener" and other similar provisions in long-term supply agreements may reduce the protection from short-term coal price volatility traditionally provided by such contracts. Any adjustment or renegotiation leading to a significantly lower contract price would result in decreased revenues and lower our gross margins. Coal supply agreements also typically contain force majeure provisions allowing temporary suspension of performance by us or our customers during the duration of specified events beyond the control of the affected party. Most coal supply agreements contain provisions requiring us to deliver coal meeting quality thresholds for certain characteristics such as Btu, sulfur content, ash content, hardness and ash fusion temperature. Failure to meet these specifications could result in economic penalties, including price adjustments, the rejection of deliveries or, in the extreme, termination of the contracts. Consequently, due to the risks mentioned above with respect to long-term supply agreements, we may not achieve the revenue or profit we expect to achieve from any such future sales commitments. In addition, we may not be able to successfully convert these future sales commitments into long-term supply agreements.
 
 
The coal industry is highly competitive and includes many large national and international resource companies. There is no assurance that we will be able to effectively compete in this industry and our failure to compete effectively could cause our business to fail or could reduce our revenue and margins and prevent us from achieving profitability.
 
In the event we are able to produce coal, we will be in competition for sale of our coal with numerous large producers and hundreds of small producers who operate globally. The markets in which we may seek to sell our coal are highly competitive and are affected by factors beyond our control. There is no assurance of demand for any coal we are able to produce, and the prices that we may be able to obtain will depend primarily on global coal consumption patterns, which in turn are affected by the demand for electricity, coal transportation costs, environmental and other governmental regulations and orders, technological developments and the availability and price of competing alternative energy sources such as oil, natural gas, nuclear energy and hydroelectric energy. In addition, during the mid-1970s and early 1980s, a growing coal market and increased demand for coal attracted new investors to the coal industry and spurred the development of new mines and added production capacity throughout the industry. Although demand for coal has grown over the recent past, the industry has since been faced with overcapacity, which in turn has increased competition and lowered prevailing coal prices. Moreover, because of greater competition for electricity and increased pressure from customers and regulators to lower electricity prices, public utilities are lowering fuel costs and requiring competitive prices on their purchases of coal. Accordingly, there is no assurance that we will be able to produce coal at competitive prices or that we will be able to sell any coal we produce for a profit. Our inability to compete effectively in the global market for coal would cause our business to fail.
 
Our inability to diversify our operations may subject us to economic fluctuations within our industry.
 
Our limited financial resources reduce the likelihood that we will be able to diversify our operations. Our probable inability to diversify our activities into more than one business area will subject us to economic fluctuations within the coal industry and therefore increase the risks associated with our operations.
 
We rely heavily on our senior management, the loss of which could have a material adverse effect on our business.
 
Our future success is dependent on having capable seasoned executives with the necessary business knowledge and relationships to execute our business plan. Accordingly, the services of our management team, specifically, William Bloking, our President and the Chairman of our board of directors, and Jorge Nigaglioni, our Chief Financial Officer, who serves pursuant to an employment agreement, and our board of directors are deemed essential to maintaining the continuity of our operations. If we were to lose their services, our business could be materially adversely affected. Our performance will also depend on our ability to find, hire, train, motivate and retain other executive officers and key employees, of which there can be no assurance.

Because our assets and operations are located outside the United States and a majority of our officers and directors are non-United States citizens living outside of the United States, investors may experience difficulties in attempting to enforce judgments based upon United States federal securities laws against us and our directors. United States laws and/or judgments might not be enforced against us in foreign jurisdictions.
 
All of our operations are conducted through a subsidiary corporation organized and located outside of the United States, and all of the assets of such subsidiary corporation are located outside the United States. In addition, all of our officers and directors, other than William Bloking, our President and Chairman of our board of directors and Jorge Nigaglioni, our Chief Financial Officer, are foreign citizens. As a result, it may be difficult or impossible for United States investors to enforce judgments of United States courts for civil liabilities against us or against any of our individual directors or officers. In addition, United States investors should not assume that courts in the countries in which our subsidiary is incorporated or where the assets of our subsidiary are located would enforce judgments of United States courts obtained in actions against us or our subsidiary based upon the civil liability provisions of applicable United States federal and state securities laws or would enforce, in original actions, liabilities against us or our subsidiary based upon these laws.
 
Risks Related to the Coal Business
 
The international coal industry is highly cyclical, which will subject us to fluctuations in prices for any coal we produce.
 
In the event we are able to produce coal, we will be exposed to swings in the demand for coal, which will have an impact on the prices for our coal. The demand for coal products and, thus, the financial condition and results of operations of companies in the coal industry, including us, are generally affected by macroeconomic fluctuations in the world economy and the domestic and international demand for energy. In recent years, the price of coal has been at historically high levels, but these price levels may not continue. Any material decrease in demand for coal could have a material adverse effect on our operations and profitability.
 
The price of coal is driven by the global market. It is affected by changing requirements of customers based on their needs and the price of alternative sources of energy such as natural gas and oil .
 
In the event that we are able to begin producing coal, our success will depend upon maintaining a consistent margin on our coal sales to pay our costs of mining and capital expenditures. We intend to seek to control our costs of operations, but pressures by government policies and the price of substitutes could drive the price of coal down to make it unprofitable for us. The price of coal is controlled by the global market and we will be dependent on both economic and government policies to maintain the price above our future cost structure.
 
Logistics costs could increase and limit our ability to sell coal to end customers economically .
 
Logistics costs represent a significant portion of the total cost of coal and, as a result, the cost of transportation is a critical factor in a customer’s purchasing decision. Increases in transportation costs could make coal a less competitive source of energy or could make some of our operations less competitive than other sources of coal. Our future coal production, if any, will depend upon barge, trucking, pipeline and ocean-going vessels to deliver coal to markets. While coal customers typically arrange and pay for transportation of coal from the mine or port to the point of use, disruption of these transportation services because of weather-related problems, infrastructure damage, capacity restraints, strikes, lock-outs, lack of fuel or maintenance items, transportation delays or other events could temporarily impair our ability to supply coal to our customers and thus could adversely affect our results of operations.  
 
Operating a mine has hazardous risks that can delay and increase the costs of production .
 
Our mining operations, if any, will be subject to conditions that can impact the safety of the workforce, or delay production and deliveries or increase the full cost of mining. These conditions include fires and explosions from methane gas or coal dust; accidental discharges; weather, flooding and natural disasters; unexpected maintenance problems; key equipment failures; variations in coal seam thickness; variations in the amount of rock and soil overlying the coal deposit; variations in rock and other natural materials and variations in geologic conditions. Despite our efforts, once operational, significant mine accidents could occur and have a substantial impact.

A shortage of skilled labor in the mining industry could pose a risk to achieving optimal labor productivity and competitive costs, which could adversely affect our profitability.
 
Efficient coal mining using modern techniques and equipment requires skilled laborers, preferably with at least a year of experience and proficiency in multiple mining tasks. In order to support our planned production opportunities, we intend to sponsor both in-house and vocational coal mining programs at the local level in order to train additional skilled laborers. In the event the shortage of experienced labor continues or worsens or we are unable to train the necessary amount of skilled laborers, there could be an adverse impact on our future labor productivity and costs and our ability to commence production and therefore have a material adverse effect on our earnings.
 
The coal industry could have overcapacity which would affect the price of coal and in turn, would impact our ability to realize a profit from future coal sales.
 
Current prices of alternative fuels such as oil are at high levels, spurring demand and investment in coal. This can lead to over investment and over capacity in the sector, dropping the price of coal to unprofitable levels. Such an occurrence would adversely affect our ability to commence mining operations or to realize a profit from any future coal sales we may seek to make.
 
Environmental pressures could increase and accelerate requirements for cleaner coal or coal processing.
 
Environmental pressures could drive potential purchasers of coal to either push the price of coal down in order to compete in the energy market or move to alternative energy supplies therefore reducing demand for coal. Requirements to have cleaner mining operations could lead to higher costs for us which could hamper our ability to make future sales at a profitable level. Coal plants emit carbon dioxide, sulfur and nitrate particles to the air. Various countries have imposed cleaner air legislations in order to minimize those emissions. Some technologies are available to do so, but also increase the price of energy derived by coal. Such an increase will drive customers to make a choice on whether or not to use coal as their driver for energy production.
   
Risks Related to Doing Business in Indonesia
 
We face the risk that changes in the policies of the Indonesian government could have a significant impact upon the business we may be able to conduct in Indonesia and the profitability of such business .
 
Indonesia’s economy as it relates to coal is in a transition. Indonesia has recently reduced taxation on the import of mining equipment and on the export of coal. Those changes make doing business in Indonesia more favorable, but such regulations can change in the future, and could have the effect of limiting the financial viability of our operations. Other-in country regulations could increase costs of operations, limit export quotas or net trade.
 
Inflation in Indonesia could negatively affect our profitability and growth .
 
Indonesia’s rapid climb amongst the world exporters of coal can drive increased competition and access to resources can lead to higher costs. Indonesia has kept inflation in the 6% range per annum, but constant interest rate cuts by the central bank to spur investment can lead to quicker inflation hikes. We will monitor inflation and adjust cost structures as necessary, but market pressures on resources could possibly result in operating delays.
 
11

 
We may experience currency fluctuation and longer exchange rate payment cycles .
 
The local currencies in the countries in which we intend to seek to sell our products may fluctuate in value in relation to other currencies. Such fluctuations may affect the cost of our product sold and the value of our local currency profits. While we are not conducting any operations in countries other than Indonesia at the present time, we may expand to other countries and may then have an increased risk of exposure of our business to currency fluctuation.
 
Terrorist threats and civil unrest in Indonesia may negatively affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
Our business is affected by general economic conditions, fluctuations in consumer confidence and spending, and market liquidity, which can decline as a result of numerous factors outside of our control,  such as terrorist attacks and acts of war. Our business also may be affected by civil unrest and individuals who engage in activities intended to disrupt our business operations. Future terrorist attacks against Indonesia or the interests of the United Kingdom or other Western nations in Indonesia, rumors or threats of war, actual conflicts involving Indonesia, the United Kingdom, or their allies, or military or trade disruptions affecting our customers may materially adversely affect our operations. As a result, there could be delays or losses in future transportation and deliveries of coal to our customers, decreased future sales of our coal and extension of time for payment of accounts receivable from our customers. Strategic targets such as energy-related assets may be at greater risk of future terrorist attacks than other targets in Indonesia. In addition, disruption or significant increases in energy prices could result in government-imposed price controls. It is possible that any, or a combination, of these occurrences could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
Environmental disasters like earthquakes and tsunamis in Indonesia may negatively affect our business, financial condition and results of operations .
 
The coal concessions which we intend to operate in Indonesia are subject to natural disasters that can delay our drilling efforts to get certified measurements of the properties coal reserves, destroy infrastructure required for production and create delays in delivering product to our end customers. These impacts will require us to adjust our operations and may be financially detrimental to our success.
 
Risks Relating to Public Company Compliance Requirements
 
Public company compliance may make it more difficult to attract and retain officers and directors .
 
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and rules subsequently implemented by the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the Commission, have required changes in corporate governance practices of public companies. As a public entity, we expect these new rules and regulations to increase compliance costs and to make certain activities more time consuming and costly. As a public entity, we also expect that these rules and regulations may make it more difficult and expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance in the future and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve as directors or as executive officers.
 
12

 
Risks Relating to Our Common Stock
 
Our stock price may be volatile .
 
The market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could fluctuate widely in price in response to various factors, many of which are beyond our control, including the following:
 
 
·
technological innovations or new products and services by us or our competitors;
 
 
·
additions or departures of key personnel;
 
 
·
limited “public float” following the reorganization transaction, in the hands of a small number of persons whose sales or lack of sales could result in positive or negative pricing pressure on the market price for the common stock;
 
 
·
our ability to execute our business plan;
 
 
·
operating results that fall below expectations;
 
 
·
loss of any strategic relationship;
 
 
·
industry developments;
 
 
·
economic and other external factors; and
 
 
·
period-to-period fluctuations in our financial results.  
 
In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
 
There is currently no liquid trading market for our common stock and we cannot ensure that one will ever develop or be sustained .
 
Our common stock is currently approved for quotation on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board maintained by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., or the OTC Bulletin Board, trading under the symbol “KALG.OB.” However, there is limited trading activity and not currently a liquid trading market. There is no assurance as to when or whether a liquid trading market will develop, and if such a market does develop, there is no assurance that it will be maintained. Furthermore, for companies whose securities are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, it is more difficult to obtain accurate quotations, to obtain coverage for significant news events because major wire services generally do not publish press releases about such companies, and to obtain needed capital. As a result, purchasers of our common stock may have difficulty selling their shares in the public market, and the market price may be subject to significant volatility.
 
Offers or availability for sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock may cause the price of our common stock to decline or could affect our ability to raise additional working capital .  
 
If our current stockholders seek to sell substantial amounts of common stock in the public market either upon expiration of any required holding period under Rule 144 or pursuant to an effective registration statement, it could create a circumstance commonly referred to as “overhang,” in anticipation of which the market price of our common stock could fall substantially. The existence of an overhang, whether or not sales have occurred or are occurring, also could make it more difficult for us to raise additional financing in the future through sale of securities at a time and price that we deem acceptable.
 
13

 
Our common stock is currently deemed to be “penny stock”, which makes it more difficult for investors to sell their shares .
 
Our common stock is currently subject to the “penny stock” rules adopted under Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act or 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. The penny stock rules apply to companies whose common stock is not listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market or other national securities exchange and trades at less than $5.00 per share or that have tangible net worth of less than $5,000,000 ($2,000,000 if the company has been operating for three or more years). These rules require, among other things, that brokers who trade penny stock to persons other than “established customers” complete certain documentation, make suitability inquiries of investors and provide investors with certain information concerning trading in the security, including a risk disclosure document and quote information under certain circumstances. Many brokers have decided not to trade penny stocks because of the requirements of the penny stock rules and, as a result, the number of broker-dealers willing to act as market makers in such securities is limited. If we remain subject to the penny stock rules for any significant period, it could have an adverse effect on the market, if any, for our securities. If our securities are subject to the penny stock rules, investors will find it more difficult to dispose of our securities.
 
The elimination of monetary liability against our directors, officers and employees under Delaware law and the existence of indemnification rights to our directors, officers and employees may result in substantial expenditures by us and may discourage lawsuits against our directors, officers and employees .
 
Our certificate of incorporation, as amended, does not contain any specific provisions that eliminate the liability of our directors for monetary damages to us and our stockholders. However, we are prepared to give such indemnification to our directors and officers to the fullest extent provided by Delaware law. We may also have contractual indemnification obligations under its employment agreements with its executive officers. The foregoing indemnification obligations could result in us incurring substantial expenditures to cover the cost of settlement or damage awards against directors and officers, which we may be unable to recoup. These provisions and resultant costs may also discourage us from bringing a lawsuit against directors and officers for breaches of their fiduciary duties and may similarly discourage the filing of derivative litigation by our stockholders against our directors and officers even though such actions, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our stockholders.
 
ITEM 2.   DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
 
Property Location and Access
 
We have rights to two coal concessions located near the Mahakam River in North Eastern Kalimantan, on the Indonesian island of Borneo. The following map illustrates the location of the properties:
 
14

 
 
15

 
The area of interest is in the vicinity of Melak, close to Senadawar, the capital of the district of Kutai Barat in the province of East Kalimantan. Melak is located approximately 100 miles northwest of the city of Balikpapan. Block 16 is approximately 6 miles southeast of Melak. Block 24 is approximately 22 miles northwest of Melak. The rivers provide the principal means of transport to bring in goods and heavy equipment and export coal and timber. The road network in Kutai Barat varies from metalled to unmade and generally requires constant repair. Access into concession areas is by four-wheel drive vehicles or trail bikes on the old logging roads or by motorized boat. The blocks lie close to the Mahakam River. Each block is10,000 hectares, approximately 24,700 acres.

Claim Status
 
Indonesia’s natural resources are controlled by the Indonesian Government. As a result, there is no title to particular mineral deposits granted by the Indonesian government to private companies or individuals, but rather the Indonesian government will only grant the right to exploit and sell the mineral deposits. Domestic investment in mining is conducted through a KP, a license issued by the Head of Regency, the regional governor and the Indonesian Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources, depending on the location of the mining area. There are several types of KPs, which may be issued depending on the stage of development of the mining area itself, including a General Survey KP, an Exploration KP, an Exploitation KP, a Transportation and Selling KP and a Processing and Refining KP.
 
Indonesian mining regulations do not permit KPs to be held by non-Indonesian companies or by Indonesian companies, which are wholly or partly owned by non-Indonesian persons or entities. We have established a series of contractual arrangements, which give us an economic benefit in relation to certain mining properties in Indonesia, as further described below.
 
The KPs for the two properties in which we have economic rights are held by limited liability companies formed under the laws of Indonesia. PT Graha Panca Karsa, or GPK, holds an Exploration KP on Kampung Tukul Kecamatan Tering in the Kutai Barat district of East Kalimantan, and PT Bunyut Bara Mandiri, or BBM, holds an Exploration KP on Kecamatan Melak and Kecamatan Muara Lawa in the Kutai Barat district of East Kalimantan. The KPs are extendable by the company under agreement and obligations and both currently run until September 14th, 2008 unless and until extended. Applications for the extensions of the KP's have been submitted and await approval by the Regency.
 
Pursuant to share purchase agreements dated September 14, 2006, as amended, Thatcher agreed, in the name of its designated purchasers, to purchase all of the issued and paid up share capital of GPK for a purchase price of $175,000 and BBM for a purchase price of $150,000. The transactions contemplated by the share purchase agreements were completed on December 4, 2006, and at the closing of such transactions, two Indonesian citizens selected by Thatcher to acquire the shares in BBM and GPK, purchased all of the issued shares of both GPK and BBM.
 
Contemporaneously with the closing of the transactions contemplated by the share purchase agreements, (i) GPK and BBM and the shareholders of GPK and BBM executed a cooperation and investment agreement with Thatcher pursuant to which Thatcher agreed to provide all required funding and certain services in relation to the exploration work, development, construction and operation necessary to develop the mining properties and in return GPK and BBM agreed to pay Thatcher all of the net proceeds from coal sales, and (ii) GPK and BBM executed a power of attorney in favor of Thatcher giving Thatcher the authority to sign any and all documents relating to mining operations on behalf of GPK and BBM.
 
In addition, the shareholders of GPK and BBM executed (i) a loan agreement with Thatcher to record the terms upon which Thatcher loaned them the funds needed to purchase the shares of GPK and BBM, (ii) a share pledge agreement issued to Thatcher pledging their shares as collateral security for their obligations under their respective loan agreements, cooperation and investment agreements, and any related agreements, and (iii) a power of attorney in favor of Thatcher giving Thatcher the power to vote the shares in GPK and BBM. We have included the results of GPK and BBM in our financial statements as of May 31, 2008, as a variable interest entity, as we currently stand to absorb the majority of the variable interest entity’s expected losses. We have  commenced a change in the ownership of GPK and BBM in accordance with the terms of the aforementioned agreements. Article 127 of Company Law requires that any change of more than 50% shareholding requires a newspaper announcement, with closing to occur no earlier than 30 days following the announcement. We expect to complete these transactions in the next 45 days.
 
In the event that coal is produced and delivered to customers from either of these properties, we will be obligated to pay production sharing fees under production share agreements dated as of December 4, 2006 as follows:
 
·
a share of the proceeds of production totaling $0.45 per ton pursuant to production share agreements entered into among GPK, Ferdinandus Hanye, Eko Purwanto, Rudiansyah and Laurensius Hajang, and between GPK and Laurensius Hajang, for production under the KP held by GPK. This share of production proceeds will be paid to the recipients in return for providing assistance to GPK relating to the development of the mining project (particularly in the area of local community relations); and
 
19

 
 
·
a share of the proceeds of production totaling $0.45 per ton pursuant to production share agreements entered into among BBM, Kristiana Neny, Eko Purwanto and Laurensius Hajang, and between BBM and Laurensius Hajang, for production under the KP held by BBM. This share of production proceeds will be paid to the recipients in return for providing assistance to BBM relating to the development of the mining project (particularly in the area of local community relations).
 
Depending on the quality of the coal delivered, royalties of between 3% and 7% will be paid to the Indonesian government.
 
In addition to the production sharing fees described above, we will be obligated to pay a royalty of $0.40 per ton to the former shareholders of Thatcher pursuant to a royalty agreement dated December 29, 2006, entered into between the us, Thatcher and the former shareholders of Thatcher, which include Essendon Capital Ltd., a privately-held company incorporated under the laws of Samoa, Carlton Corp., a privately-held company incorporated under the laws of the Republic of the Seychelles, and Concord International, Inc., a privately-held company incorporated under the laws of the Bahamas.
 
Pursuant to the terms of a cooperation and investment agreement, GPK and BBM are required to maintain their respective KPs in full force and effect, and to apply for any extensions or renewals of their respective KPs at our direction. We have instructed GPK and BBM to apply for extensions of their respective KPs prior to their expiration. The applications have been submitted and are awaiting approval by the Regency. Although we anticipate that the KPs will be renewed prior to their expiration, there is no assurance that the governing body will grant such renewal. Additionally, the GPK property requires an additional permit from the Forestry department before Phase II can proceed. We are in the process of obtaining this permit.
 
History
 
We are not aware of any previous mining activities, which have taken place on either of the properties in which we have rights. However, there have been logging operations in the area.
 
Geology
 
A field exploration program was conducted on Block 16 and Block 24 in July 2006. Based on that study, the following information is available:
 
The rocks of Kutai Barat are mostly contained within the Kutai Basin. A summary of the stratigraphy in the Kutai Basin is given in the Table below.

The regional structural trend of fold axes and major faulting is northeast-east northeast, a trend easily picked out on the satellite images. Other important structural features trend approximately north-south. The area can be divided into three areas based on the topography and the underlying geology.
 
20

 
The floodplain of the Mahakam River and its tributaries
 
The area is characterized by very low relief and dominated by swamps. Solid geology outcrops of the coal bearing sediments are rare, the area being mostly covered by late Holocene/Quaternary alluvium.
 
Intermediate ground
 
This is underlain by the main coal bearing strata of the Pamalauan, Palau Balang and Balikpapan Formations. These formations are of mixed facies with sandstone, siltstones and mudstones/clays with coal seams. These formations form low, undulating hills that have been eroded to form numerous small, V-shaped gullies and valleys.
 
High ground
 
Mostly located 200m above sea level, these areas contain the volcanic rocks, andesites and tuffs of the Maragoh Formation and, in the northwest, small areas of the quartzitic Haloq Sandstone Formation of the neighboring basin.
 
In Block 24, coal seams up to 8 m thick have been recorded. Some 92% of the outcrops recorded in the block have dips under 10 degrees. Gently rolling topography combined with shallow dips (dip-slope) will ensure favorable stripping ratios. The program yielded a collection of coal samples that were analyzed for moisture, ash, sulphur and calorific values of the coal in the property.
 
Infrastructure
 
There are approximately 130 kilometers of unsealed roads on the properties, which were built by legacy logging operators operating on the properties. Both of the properties are situated close to the Mahakan River, which is used for barge transportation. In addition, both properties are situated near Melak, a small rural town, which provides a logistic base for operations.
 
Coal
 
We completed our Phase I Drilling Programme and obtained a JORC, code compliant resource statement for the GPK site on June 11, 2007. The competent persons reported Inferred Resources of 204 million tons of thermal coal. The coal properties are as below:

ITEM 6.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
 
Plan of Operation
 
Our plan of operation for the twelve months following the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB is to:
 
·
Complete the Phase I exploration of the Bunyut concession. This evaluation will lead to a Phase II programme which is designed to be the initial step towards completing a mine plan with feasibility studies and environmental review. We anticipate this current phase will require $300,000 to $400,000.
 
·
Complete the Phase II exploration of the Graha concession. This phase will yield the economic viability of the concession. This will provide a mine plan and the capital requirements for the establishment of mining operations. We anticipate this phase will require $2,000,000 to $3,000,000, depending on the coverage of the phase.
 
As of May 31, 2008, we had $1,944,567 in cash in our account. We can operate into the fourth quarter of the 2008 calendar year with the cash on hand, but will be looking to raise funds to move to Phase II drilling shortly after the completion and review of the Phase I Programme. We plan to raise $5,000,000 to accommodate the exploration programmes and subsequent activities.
 
We will require equipment for drilling and earth moving activities. We currently contract for equipment on a short term basis as needed, but we will reevaluate the amount of equipment to purchase as the Phase II Programme concludes and the ensuing mine planning activity shows the volume and scope of equipment necessary. At this point, we will continue to use short term rentals to satisfy our needs.
 
We plan to grow our employee base as we move past the Phase II programme. We currently use third party suppliers for most of our exploration personnel.
 
Results Of Operations
 
References in the discussion below to 2008 are to our current fiscal year ended May 31, 2008, while references to 2007 are to our fiscal year ended May 31, 2007.
 
Year ended May 31, 2008 compared to the year ended May 31, 2007
 
Revenue
 
We have not earned any revenue from operations from our incorporation on February 21, 2001 to May 31, 2008. Our activities have been financed from the proceeds of private placement offerings of our common stock. We do not anticipate earning any revenue until such time as we complete the property exploration and complete activities relating to the preparation of coal extraction, of which there is no assurance.
 
Expenses
 
Exploration Expenses
 
During our fiscal year ended May 31, 2008, we incurred $3,140,838 of exploration expenses, as compared to $1,228,807 of exploration expenses for the year ended May 31, 2007. This increase in exploration expense is due primarily to the work performed on the Graha concession to bring it to a JORC Compliant inferred resource of 204 million tons in June 2007, the exploration of a coal concession in Mongolia and the follow up work in the southwest and eastern blocks of the Graha Concession to further define the resource, including its coal quality and resource mineability.

We incurred significant manpower expense of approximately $1,552,421 for the year ended May 31, 2008 versus $500,325 for the year ended May 31, 2007. This increase in manpower expense is due primarily to the difference in months under exploration of twelve in 2008 as compared to four in 2007. Site expenses incurred were approximately $816,333 for the year ended May 31, 2008 as compared to $407,740 for the year ended May 31, 2007. These include on site facilities, catering, paving and telecommunications. Equipment expense of approximately $481,205 was incurred for the year ended May 31, 2008 as compared to $178,899 for the year ended May 31, 2007. We incurred travel expense of approximately $290,879 for the year ended May 31, 2008 as compared to $141,843 for the year ended May 31, 2007. This includes the travel to and within Kalimantan, Indonesia, as well as travel to Mongolia and other prospective properties under evaluation.

We spent $2,768,948 in coal concessions in Indonesia and $371,890 in due diligence exploration in Mongolia. These expenses were related to the coal concessions in Indonesia under exploration that started after the reorganization transaction. These expenses were part of our Phase I drilling programme to establish a JORC-compliant inferred resource. This included equipment rentals, fuel costs, third party manpower and site maintenance costs.
 
Stock Based Compensation Expense
 
We incurred stock based compensation expense of $4,883,059 for the year ended May 31, 2008 as compared to $1,301,372 for the year ended May 31, 2007. This increase resulted from operating under the 2007 Stock Incentive Plan for a full year versus one month in 2007. We reduced the number of our employees and consultants as part of our ongoing efforts to reduce operating costs during the last two quarters of 2008. Those efforts resulted in a reduction of stock based compensation. A one time reduction of $1,115,798 was recorded in the fourth quarter to reflect the impact of the grant cancellations. The net fourth quarter expense of $330,788 is not indicative of the ongoing expense. The recurring expense in the fourth quarter was $1,243,713.

General and Administrative Expenses
 
We incurred general and administrative expense of $1,980,357 for the year ended May 31, 2008 as compared to $552,025 for the year ended May 31, 2007, with the increase resulting from a full year of operations in 2008 as compared to four months of operations in 2007. The primary expense was related to salaries and fees for our officers and directors. We also leased offices in London, Singapore and Jakarta during the year ended May 31, 2008. The expense also covers the amortization of intangible assets of $88,571 per quarter. Travel also contributed to the high run rate, although we curtailed travel in the later quarters of 2008 as part of our cost controls.

Professional Expenses
 
Professional and consulting fees for the year ended May 31, 2008 increased to $732,921, as compared to $642,835 for the year ended May 31, 2007. This increase in professional fees reflects our operations over the course of an entire year as compared to four months in 2007. We use the services of legal counsel and accountants in all the countries in which we operate to ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulatory filings. We also used the services of Mining House Ltd during the year ended May 31, 2008.

Loss
 
Net loss for the year ended May 31, 2008 increased to $10, 647,276 , as compared to $3,693,152 for the year ended May 31, 2007. The increased loss was due to an increase in expenses, as discussed above. We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining additional financing to move from our exploration activities to our initial production.
 
Capital Resources
 
At May 31, 2008, we had assets recorded at $8,757,144 consisting of cash of $1,944,567, accounts receivable of 75,945, prepaid expense and other current assets of $123,307 and an intangible asset of $6,613,326. We are dependent upon obtaining additional financing to fund our activities to move from our exploration activities to our initial production.
 
Cash Used In Operating Activities

Our net cash used in operating activities decreased by $ 2,880,145 to $ 4,911,598 in our fiscal year ended May 31, 2008, as compared to $2,031,453 used in operating activities during our fiscal year ended May 31, 2007. This increase use of $2,880,145 resulted primarily from the increase in exploration, general and administrative expenses discussed above.
 
Cash Provided By Investing Activities
 
Our net cash provided by investing decreased by $462,941 to $50,000   in our fiscal year ended May 31, 2008, as compared to $ 512,941 used in investing activities during our fiscal year ended May 31, 2007. This decrease of $ 462,941 resulted primarily from the advance on notes receivable during the year ended May 31, 2008.
 
Cash Provided By Financing Activities

Our net cash provided by financing activities increased by $ 2,904,359 to $6,176,539 in our fiscal year ended May 31, 2008, as compared to $ 3,272,180 provided by financing activities during our fiscal year ended May 31, 2007. This increase of $ 2,904,359 resulted primarily from the capital raise of the June 2008 Financing.
 
Liabilities
 
Our liabilities at May 31, 2008 totaled $1,297,459 and consisted of various payables to our service providers as well as $700,000 of shares to be issued to certain of our investors.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Kal Energy, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Kal Energy, Inc. as of May 31, 2008, and the related statements of operations, stockholders' deficit, and cash flows for the years ended May 31, 2008 and 2007. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards required that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of May 31, 2008, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended May 31, 2008 and 2007, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America .

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company had incurred cumulative losses of $14,418,100 and net losses of $10,647,276 for the year ended May 31, 2008. In addition, the Company s right to exploit its mining interest expires on September 14, 2008, there is no assurance that a renewal will occur. These factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 1. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

KAL ENERGY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
 (An Exploration Stage Company)
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED   FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1.   NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

a)  Organization and Change of Name

Kal Energy, Inc. (formerly, Patriarch, Inc.) (“the Company” or “We”) was incorporated on February 21, 2001 in the State of Delaware. On November 14, 2006, the Company’s stockholders voted to amend the Company’s Articles of incorporation to change the Company’s name to KAL Energy, Inc. This amendment took effect on December 20, 2006. The Company was formed for the purpose of acquiring and developing exploration stage natural resource properties. The Company is in the exploration stage. The Company’s operations are carried out by its wholly owned subsidiary, Thatcher Mining Pte. Ltd, a corporation formed under the laws of the Republic of Singapore on June 8, 2006 (“Thatcher”) and acquired by the Company on February 9, 2007. The Company formed PT Kubar Resources (“Kubar”), a limited liability foreign investment (PMA) company corporation under the laws of the Republic of Indonesia on April 12, 2007, and completed its registration on June 6, 2007. Kubar is owned 99% by Thatcher and 1% by the Company, making it a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Company acquired Finchley Resources Pte. Ltd. (Finchley), a corporation formed under the laws of the Republic of Singapore on September 12, 2007.

b)  Exploration Activities

The Company has been in the exploration stage since its formation and has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations.  The Company is currently seeking opportunities for profitable operations. Costs related to locating coal deposits and determining the extractive feasibility of such deposits are expensed as incurred until a defined reserve is obtained.

c) Going Concern

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplate the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company had incurred cumulative losses of $14,418,100 and net losses of $10,647,276 for the year ended May 31, 2008. In addition, the right to exploit its mining interest expire on September 14, 2008, there is no assurance that a renewal is assured. These factors raise substantial doubt about Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty or recoverability and classification of recorded assets amounts, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
 
Management has taken the following steps to revise its operating and financial requirements, which it believes are sufficient to provide the Company with the ability to continue as a going concern. Management devoted considerable effort from inception through the year ended May 31, 2008, towards (i) obtaining additional equity (ii) management of accrued expenses and accounts payable (iii) searching for a suitable strategic partner. Management believes that the above actions will allow the Company to continue operations through the next fiscal year. The management has initiated the process to renew the license.

2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES  

Basis of presentation

The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with rules set forth in Regulation SB promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, these statements do not include all disclosures required under generally accepted accounting principles and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in the Company's Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2008. In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring accruals have been made to the financial statements.

Principles of consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Kal Energy, Inc. the accounts of its wholly owned subsidiaries, Thatcher, PT Kubar and Finchley, and the accounts of the variable interest entities, PT. Bunyut Bara Mandiri and PT. Graha Panca Karsa (Note 11), collectively “the Company”. All significant inter-company transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements is in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles which 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.

Basic and diluted net loss per share

Net loss per share is calculated in accordance with the Statement of financial accounting standards No. 128 (SFAS No. 128), "Earnings per share". SFAS No. 128 superseded Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.15 (APB 15). Net loss per share for all periods presented has been restated to reflect the adoption of SFAS No. 128. Basic net loss per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per share is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period.
 
Intangible Assets
 
The Company evaluates intangible assets, goodwill and other long-lived assets for impairment, at least on an annual basis and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable from its estimated future cash flows. Recoverability of intangible assets, other long-lived assets and, goodwill is measured by comparing their net book value to the related projected undiscounted cash flows from these assets, considering a number of factors including past operating results, budgets, economic projections, market trends and product development cycles. If the net book value of the asset exceeds the related undiscounted cash flows, the asset is considered impaired, and a second test is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss. Potential impairment of goodwill after July 1, 2002 is being evaluated in accordance with SFAS No. 142. The SFAS No. 142 is applicable to the financial statements of the Company beginning July 1, 2002.

Recent pronouncements
 
In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS 157 ‘Fair Value Measurements’. This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the Board having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, this Statement does not require any new fair value measurements. However, for some entities, the application of this Statement will change current practice. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The management is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on financial statements.
 
In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS 158 ‘Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)’ This Statement improves financial reporting by requiring an employer to recognize the over funded or under funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income of a business entity or changes in unrestricted net assets of a not-for-profit organization. This Statement also improves financial reporting by requiring an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position, with limited exceptions. An employer with publicly traded equity securities is required to initially recognize the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan and to provide the required disclosures as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006. An employer without publicly traded equity securities is required to recognize the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan and to provide the required disclosures as of the end of the fiscal year ending after June 15, 2007. However, an employer without publicly traded equity securities is required to disclose the following information in the notes to financial statements for a fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006, but before June 16, 2007, unless it has applied the recognition provisions of this Statement in preparing those financial statements:
 
a.   A brief description of the provisions of this Statement
b.   The date that adoption is required
c.   The date the employer plans to adopt the recognition provisions of this Statement, if earlier.
 
The requirement to measure plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date of the employer’s fiscal year-end statement of financial position is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. The management is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on financial statements.
 
In February 2007, FASB issued FASB Statement No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. FAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted subject to specific requirements outlined in the new Statement. Therefore, calendar-year companies may be able to adopt FAS 159 for their first quarter 2007 financial statements.

The new Statement allows entities to choose, at specified election dates, to measure eligible financial assets and liabilities at fair value that are not otherwise required to be measured at fair value. If a company elects the fair value option for an eligible item, changes in that item's fair value in subsequent reporting periods must be recognized in current earnings. FAS 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to draw comparison between entities that elect different measurement attributes for similar assets and liabilities. The management is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements”. This Statement amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling (minority) interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. SFAS No. 160 is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning October 1, 2009. Management is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on financial statements.

In March 2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. The new standard is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The new standard also improves transparency about the location and amounts of derivative instruments in an entity’s financial statements; how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133; and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Management is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations”. This Statement replaces SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. This Statement retains the fundamental requirements in Statement 141 that the acquisition method of accounting (which Statement 141 called the purchase method) be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. This Statement also establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer: a) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree; b) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase and c) determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No. 141(R) will apply prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after Company’s fiscal year beginning October 1, 2009. While the Company has not yet evaluated this statement for the impact, if any, that SFAS No. 141(R) will have on its consolidated financial statements, the Company will be required to expense costs related to any acquisitions after September 30, 2009. The management is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on financial statements.

In May of 2008, FASB issued SFASB No.162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. The pronouncement mandates the GAAP hierarchy reside in the accounting literature as opposed to the audit literature. This has the practical impact of elevating FASB Statements of Financial Accounting Concepts in the GAAP hierarchy. This pronouncement will become effective 60 days following SEC approval. The Company does not believe this pronouncement will impact its financial statements.

 
In May of 2008, FASB issued SFASB No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts-an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60”. The scope of the statement is limited to financial guarantee insurance (and reinsurance) contracts. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2008. The Company does not believe this pronouncement will impact its financial statements.

4.   NOTES RECEIVABLE

As of May 31, 2008, the Company has two note receivables of $150,000 and $175,000 from two unrelated parties. The note receivables are both pledged by the shares to be purchased by the notes, with an interest rate of twelve month LIBOR plus 5%, and due on demand. The Company has accrued $37,656 of interest against this loan. Subsequent to the fiscal year end, the Company has not received confirmation from the holders of the notes. As such, the Company has commenced a change in the ownership of GPK and BBM in accordance with the terms of the share pledge agreements. The Company is in the process of selling the notes to third parties. Article 127 of Company Law requires that any change of more than 50% shareholding requires a newspaper announcement, with closing to occur no earlier than 30 days post-the announcement. The Company expects to complete these transactions in the next 45 days. Up until the time the notes are transferred, the Company is placing a reserve against the entire balance of the notes. Once the transfer is completed and the notes are assumed by new parties, the Company will reevaluate the value of the notes and the carrying amount of the reserve, if any. (see note 16) As at May 31, 2008, the Company based upon its evaluation of the notes, has provided an allowance for bad debts against the Notes receivable amounting to $362,656.

10.   BUSINESS COMBINATION

On September 12, 2007, the Company acquired the operations of Finchley. The transaction was transfer from the shareholder of Finchley to the Company at a nominal value. Finchley had no assets and only had expenses from its incorporation. The entity was acquired for the purpose of conducting exploration in Mongolia. No separate pro-forma financial information is presented as the amounts involved were immaterial.
 
On December 29, 2006, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Reorganization Agreement”) with Thatcher. Upon the closing under the Reorganization Agreement on February 9, 2007, the shareholders of Thatcher delivered all of their equity interests in Thatcher to the Company in exchange for shares of common stock in the Company, as a result of which Thatcher became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Reorganization”).
 
Pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement, at the closing, shareholders of Thatcher received 4,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for each issued and outstanding common share of Thatcher. As a result, at the closing , the Company issued 32,000,000 shares of its common stock to the former shareholders of Thatcher.

39


The Company converted the loan advanced to Thatcher of $615,000 into investment on the closing of the transaction and also paid $10,000 in cash to the shareholders of Thatcher . The Company also executed a royalty agreement pursuant to which the Company agreed to pay the former shareholders of Thatcher a royalty of $0.40 per metric ton of coal sold by the Company. In addition, simultaneously with closing under the Reorganization Agreement, the Company completed a private placement offering of a total of 17,615,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for aggregate proceeds to the Company of $3,523,000 (the “Private Placement”). As of May 31, 2007, 17,615,000 shares were issued and $ 3,523,000 cash was received. In conjunction with completion of the Private Placement offering , the Company paid legal expenses of $20,000 in cash.
 
The acquisition was accounted for using the  purchase method of accounting. The results of the Company include the results of Thatcher as of February 9, 2007, through the closing of the Reorganization Agreement. The cost of the acquisition was $ 7,025,000 and a gross intangible asset of $7,085,706  is recorded.

( 5,632,462

The Company has reduced the recorded value of the intangible assets acquired, by the negative goodwill of $5,632,462. The purchase price allocation for Thatcher acquisition is based on the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Immediately after the execution of the definitive agreement, the Company obtained effective control over Thatcher. Accordingly, the operating results of Thatcher have been consolidated with those of the Company starting February 9, 2007.

In accordance with paragraph 44 of SFAS 142, any excess of cost over net assets acquired shall be allocated as a pro rata reduction of the amounts that otherwise would have been assigned to all of the acquired assets except financial assets other then investments accounted for by the equity method, assets to be disposed of by sale, deferred tax assets, prepaid assets relating to pension or other postretirement benefit plans and any other current assets.

The value of the shares issued by the Company in connection with this acquisition exceeded the fair market value of the net assets acquired. Thus, “negative goodwill” generated was allocated to reduce the cost of the non-current assets acquired.
 
The pro forma information below shows the impact of Thatcher’s operations on the Company’s results as if it had been combined at the beginning of the year ended May 31, 2008 and 2007 and the period from inception to May 31, 2007, respectively.

11.     VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITY

The Company has adopted FASB Interpretation No. 46R "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" ("FIN 46R"), an Interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51. FIN 46R requires a Variable Interest Entity (VIE) to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss for the VIE or is entitled to receive a majority of the VIE's residual returns. VIEs are those entities in which the Company, through contractual arrangements, bears the risks of, and enjoys the rewards normally associated with ownership of the entities, and therefore the company is the primary beneficiary of these entities. Acquisitions of subsidiaries or variable interest entities are accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The results of subsidiaries or variable interest entities acquired during the year are included in the consolidated income statements from the effective date of acquisition.

ACCOUNTING AFTER INITIAL MEASUREMENT OF VIE - Subsequent accounting for the assets, liabilities, and non-controlling interest of a consolidated variable interest entity are accounted for as if the entity were consolidated based on voting interests and the usual accounting rules for which the VIE operates are applied as they would to a consolidated subsidiary as follows:

· carrying amounts of the VIE are consolidated into the financial statements of the Company as the primary beneficiary (referred as "Primary Beneficiary" or "PB");

· inter-company transactions and balances, such as revenues and costs, receivables and payables between or among the Primary Beneficiary and the VIE(s) are eliminated in their entirety; and

· because there is no direct ownership interest by the Primary Beneficiary in the VIE, equity of the VIE is eliminated with an offsetting credit to minority interest.

41


INITIAL MEASUREMENT OF VIE- The Company initially measures the assets, liabilities, and non-controlling interests of the VIEs at their fair values at the date of the acquisitions.

At May 31, 2007, the company provided funds to two individuals for their purchase of 1,000,000 or 100% of the 1,000,000 outstanding shares of PT Graha Panca Karsa (“PT GPK”) and 1,000,000 or 100% of the 1,000,000 outstanding shares of PT Bunyut Bara Mandiri (“PT BBM”), exploration stage companies involved in the exploration of coal concessions in East Kalimantan, Indonesia.   The Company has been the sole source of funding to the shareholders of PT GPK since 2006 to acquire the shares in PT GPK through advances made under a loan agreement.  Such advances totaled $175,000 for the shareholders of PT GPK and $150,000 for the shareholders of PT BBM, at May 31, 2008. These advance were part of notes receivable (See note 4) and fully provided for as there is uncertainty about the recoverability of these advances. The Company is considered the primary beneficiary as it stands to absorb the majority of the VIE’s expected losses.

 
As of May 31, 2008, the Company has consolidated PT GPK and PT BBM’s financial statements for the year then ended in the accompanying financial statements. PT GPK and PT BBM did not have any operations through May 31, 2008.

12.     STOCK BASED COMPENSATION EXPENSE
 
Description of Stock-Based Compensation Plan
 
Stock Incentive Plan (SIP) Effective April 27, 2007, we adopted the SIP. Under the provisions of the SIP, the company may grant stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units and stock awards to our officers, directors and key employees, as well as to consultants and other persons who provide services to us. The SIP has a maximum contractual term of ten years. As of May 31, 2008, securities authorized and available for issuance in connection with our SIP were 9,558,333. Under the terms of the SIP, in no event shall the number of shares authorized for issuance in connection with the SIP exceed 12 million shares.
 
Valuation Assumptions
 
For all periods presented, the fair value of stock-based compensation made under the SIP was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
 
The weighted average assumptions used for options granted, ESPP purchases and the LTPP in 2008 and 2007 was as follows:

   
2008
 
2007
 
Stock Option Plan

Volatility

%
Expected life

We used a historical volatility assumption to derive our expected volatility assumption. We also considered that this is an exploration phase enterprise and as such, the expected volatility should be higher than that of established mining companies. The same applies to our assumption regarding the expected life of our options. The early stage of our Company makes us assume a conservative position that it will take longer for the options to achieve their value.

13.     EXPLORATION EXPENDITURES
 
In 2006, Thatcher commenced exploration in properties in Kalimantan, Indonesia. Exploration expenses were performed by outside contractors, who billed all resources used individually between manpower, travel, equipment rentals, phone and other expenses. The bulk of all expenditures was manpower, including the chief geologist, operations manager, site manager and site personnel from various contractors, who were utilized to make preliminary assessments of the properties providing mining services for initial property assessment and preparing for the phase I drilling program. The initial measurements of the quantity and quality of coal seams were made on two properties in East Kalimantan, Indonesia and a study of the logistics for processing the coal in site and delivering it to customers was completed. Site expenses include all site maintenance costs as well as operating costs such as fuel and camps.

14.   INCOME TAXES
 
The Company is registered in the State of Delaware and has operations in primarily two tax jurisdictions - the Singapore and the United States. For operations in the United States of America and the Singapore, the Company has incurred net accumulated operating losses for income tax purposes The Company believes that it is more likely than not that these net accumulated operating losses will not be utilized in the future. Therefore, the Company has provided full valuation allowance for the deferred tax assets arising from the losses at these locations as of May 31, 2008. Accordingly, the Company has no net deferred tax assets.

United States of America  

As of May 31, 2008, the Company’s subsidiary in the United States of America had approximately $4,637,000 in net operating loss carry forwards available to offset future taxable income. Federal net operating losses can generally be carried forward 20 years. The Tax Reform Act of 1986 limits the use of net operating loss and tax credit carry forwards in certain situations when changes occur in the stock ownership of a company. In the event the Company has a change in ownership, utilization of carry forwards could be restricted. The deferred tax assets for the United States entity at May 31, 2008 consists mainly of net operating loss carry forwards and were fully reserved as the management believes it is more likely than not that these assets will not be realized in the future.

The Company is subject to legal proceedings, claims, and litigation arising in the normal course of business. While the outcome of these matters is currently not determinable, the Company does not expect the resolutions of any such matters to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

The Company had previously accrued the entire subscription from the placement of $750,000 as accrued litigation until this matter is resolved. The Company has settled this matter in June 16, 2008 and has presented the financial statements as if the litigation was settled as of May 31, 2008. See subsequent event description on note 16 .
 
As of May 31, 2008, there is no other pending litigation involving the Company.

RIGHT TO EXPLOIT
 
Indonesia’s natural resources are controlled by the Indonesian Government. As a result, there is no title to particular mineral deposits granted by the Indonesian government to private companies or individuals, but rather the Indonesian government will only grant the right to exploit and sell the mineral deposits. Domestic investment in mining is conducted through a KP, a license issued by the Head of Regency, the regional governor and the Indonesian Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources, depending on the location of the mining area. There are several types of KPs, which may be issued depending on the stage of development of the mining area itself, including a General Survey KP, an Exploration KP, an Exploitation KP, a Transportation and Selling KP and a Processing and Refining KP.
 
Indonesian mining regulations do not permit KPs to be held by non-Indonesian companies or by Indonesian companies, which are wholly or partly owned by non-Indonesian persons or entities. We have established a series of contractual arrangements, which give us an economic benefit in relation to certain mining properties in Indonesia, as further described below.
 
The KPs for the two properties in which we have economic rights are held by limited liability companies formed under the laws of Indonesia. PT Graha Panca Karsa, or GPK, holds an Exploration KP on Kampung Tukul Kecamatan Tering in the Kutai Barat district of East Kalimantan, and PT Bunyut Bara Mandiri, or BBM, holds an Exploration KP on Kecamatan Melak and Kecamatan Muara Lawa in the Kutai Barat district of East Kalimantan. The KPs are extendable by the company under agreement and obligations and both currently run until September 14th, 2008 unless and until extended. T here is no assurance that a KP will be renewed.
 
16.   SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
As previously reported, on June 10, 2007 KAL Energy, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into Subscription Agreements (the “Prior Agreements”) with 3 investors (the “Investors”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell an aggregate of 937,500 shares of its common stock to the Investors at a purchase price of $0.80 per share, resulting in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $750,000 (the “June 2007 Financing”). The Company also agreed to issue the Investors warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 937,500 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $1.428 per share. The closing of the June 2007 Financing occurred on June 10, 2007.
 
Subsequent to the closing of the June 2007 financing, a dispute arose between the Company and the Investors as a result of administrative non-conformance relating to the Prior Agreements (the “Dispute”). On June 17, 2008, the Company’s board of directors agreed to resolve the Dispute by restructuring the terms of the June 2007 Financing and entering into an Amended and Restated Subscription Agreement (the “Restated Agreement”) with the Investors (the “Restructuring”). The Company entered into the Restated Agreement with the Investors on June 26, 2008. Pursuant to the Restructuring, the Company reduced the purchase price for the shares of common stock issued in the June 2007 financing to $0.15 per share and issued an aggregate of 4,062,500 additional shares of common stock to the Investors, resulting in the sale and issuance of an aggregate total of 5,000,000 shares of common stock to the Investors. In addition, the Company and the Investors agreed to cancel and terminate the Warrants, which were not previously issued by the Company to the Investors. The Restructuring will not change the gross proceeds received by the Company from the June 2007 financing, which remain approximately $750,000.

Subsequent to the fiscal year end, the Company has not received confirmation from the holders of the notes. As such, the Company has commenced a change in the ownership of GPK and BBM in accordance with the terms of the share pledge agreements. The Company is in the process of selling the notes to third parties. Article 127 of Company Law requires that any change of more than 50% shareholding requires a newspaper announcement, with closing to occur no earlier than 30 days post-the announcement. The Company expects to complete these transactions in the next 45 days. Up until the time the notes are transferred, the Company is placing a reserve against the entire balance of the notes. Once the transfer is completed and the notes are assumed by new parties, the Company will reevaluate the value of the notes and the carrying amount of the reserve, if any. (see note 4)

ITEM 8.   CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
 
On February 22, 2007, Morgan & Company, or Morgan, notified us that they would resign as our principal independent registered public accounting firm, effective upon our appointment of a successor firm.
 
On March 6, 2007, our board of directors engaged Kabani & Company, Inc., or Kabani, to serve as our principal independent registered public accounting firm, effective as of such date.
 
The audit reports of Morgan on our financial statements for the fiscal years ended May 31, 2006 and 2005 contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except as follows: the audit report dated August 4, 2006 for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2006 contained a qualification as to uncertainty.
 
During the period from June 1, 2005 to the date hereof, there have been no disagreements between us and Morgan on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedures which, if not resolved to Morgan’s satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports.
 
We provided Morgan with a copy of these disclosures and requested that Morgan furnish us with a letter addressed to the Commission stating whether Morgan agreed with the statements that we made. The letter from Morgan is attached as Exhibit 16.1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on March 12, 2007.
 
As part of its engagement as our independent registered public accounting firm, Kabani conducted a review of our balance sheet for the period ended February 28, 2007, and the related statements of operations and cash flows for the nine-month period ending February 28, 2007.
 
During the period from June 1, 2005 to the date of Kabani’s engagement, neither we, nor anyone acting on our behalf, consulted with Kabani regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our financial statements, or (ii) any of the matters or events set forth in Item 304(a)(2)(ii) of Regulation S−B.
 
ITEM 8A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of the financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. This process includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.
 
48

 
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to risk that the internal control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate.
 
Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on our assessment, we have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB, our internal control over financial reporting was effective based on those criteria.
 
This Annual Report on Form 10-KSB does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB.
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls
 
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the 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 disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any system of controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, as ours are designed to do, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
 
Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. Based upon their evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms, and to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) that occurred during our fourth fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 12.   CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
 
We entered into a loan agreement with Concord International, or Concord, on September 28, 2007, for $50,000. The loan carried no interest and was payable in full upon demand by Concord. We repaid the loan in full on February 14, 2008.
 
We entered into a loan agreement with Laith Reynolds, our former chairman of the board, on November 28, 2007, for $25,000. The loan carried no interest and was payable in full upon demand by Mr. Reynolds, after our receipt of the first US$ 3,000,000 from a private placement offering. We repaid the loan in full on December 30, 2007.
 
We entered into a royalty agreement with Concord, Essendon Capital and Carlton Corp., the former shareholders of Thatcher, or their nominees, pursuant to which we are required to pay a royalty of $0.40 per metric ton of coal sold by us or our affiliates. Under the royalty agreement, we are required to make royalty payments in exchange for the assignment of certain mining permits. Prior to entering into the royalty agreement, the former Thatcher shareholders presented us with an option to pay cash for such permits or to pay a combination of a reduced initial cash payment and royalties for such permits. As an early stage company, we are particularly concerned with cash conservation, and we determined that in order to preserve cash a royalty agreement would provide us with the flexibility to enter into this transaction. If successful, this will result in a reduction in margin only. As no coal has yet been sold by us, no amounts have been paid under the royalty agreement.
 
We use the services of Mining House Ltd., or Mining House, for information technology and administrative services. These services also include expense reimbursements for travel and other administrative expenses. Three of our directors and two of our former presidents and chief executive officers, one of whom is the sole shareholder of Mining House, are directors of Mining House. Our payments to Mining House for such services for the years ended May 31, 2008 and 2007 were $388,249 and $54,789, respectively. The terms of this agreement are consistent with other third party service agreements, as we are obtaining a share of office space, information technology support, administrative services, company registration services and management consulting services for the equivalent of two full time employees. In addition, two of our former presidents and chief executive officers resided in London and worked out of Mining House’s London office, requiring a level of administrative support. With the departure of Mr. Hurley, our former president and chief executive officer, on May 20, 2008, we no longer have any executive presence in London, we do not require the use of Mining House’s office space in London and we will localize the support closer to our management in Asia. As a result, we have terminated the services agreement on August 31, 2008.
 
We have a rental and services agreement with PB Commodities, or PBC, for office space and the use of certain personnel in Singapore. PBC is owned by Concord, one of our principal stockholders. Rental and service payments made under this agreement for the years ended May 31, 2008 and 2007 were $137,807 and $18,036, respectively . The terms of this agreement are consistent with other third party services agreements. The primary cost under this agreement is the use of office space. As part of the restructuring of our management and administrative functions, we will be moving our offices to Jakarta, Indonesia and will not require a large presence in Singapore. We have terminated the rental and service agreement as of July 31, 2008, the end of the current rental term.
 
57

 
We used Asia Consultancy Group Pte Ltd., or ACG, for exploration consulting services. These services included expense reimbursements for travel and other administrative expenses. ACG is owned by Concord, one of our principal stockholders. Total payments made for the years ended May 31, 2008 and 2007 were $465,013 and $281,187, respectively . The terms of this agreement were consistent with other third party services agreements. ACG provided the services of key personnel and operating costs while we had the flexibility to not use such resources full time. We terminated this agreement in November 2007 following our decision to hire certain key personnel on a full time basis and remove other costs from the organization.
 
The above referenced agreements with Mining House, PBC and ACG were in place with Thatcher prior to our acquisition of Thatcher. We amended the Mining House and PBC agreements for changes in the use of service and office space. For all new agreements and amendments, we evaluate the transactions against other vendors. We request of all of our directors and officers to disclose any related party transactions as proposals are discussed.
