PART I

ITEM 1.   DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Company Background
 
Our company was incorporated in the State of Delaware on January 4, 2002, under the name of "Universal Tanning Ventures, Inc." On May 21, 2006, we changed our name to "Universal Energy Corp." and became a company focused on the acquisition and development of oil and natural gas properties.
 
Our common stock is quoted for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol UVSE. Our principal executive offices are located at 30 Skyline Drive, Lake Mary, Florida 32746. Our telephone number is (800) 975-2076. Our fax number is (800) 805-4561. We maintain a website at www.universalenergycorp.info .

Operations Strategy
 
Our primary objective is to build stockholder value by creating a well-capitalized growth platform that provides an underlying base of assets and cash flow. A disciplined approach of investing in lower risk development drilling with exposure to higher return exploration opportunities combined with our acquisition strategy will allow us to cost effectively manage our growth and to create the largest return to our stockholders.

In pursuing our operations strategy, we focus on the following:
 
Strategic Acquisitions . We continually review opportunities to acquire (i) producing properties in our target areas that contain proved reserve value as well as meaningful exploitation and exploration upside potential and (ii) small to mid-size energy companies that, along with our current management expertise, would display profitability, strong revenue growth and significant cash flows.
 
Exploration Activities . We intend to conduct exploration and development programs to grow proven reserves, production and cash flow. We participate by acquiring working interests in our projects and we continually review opportunities generated by industry partners.
 
Maintenance of Financial Flexibility . We intend to manage and optimize our capital structure to maintain financial flexibility. A significant component involves hedging a portion of our expected production to manage our exposure to commodity price and cash flow volatility. We believe that with an expanded base of internally generated cash flow and access to improved capital markets, we can continue to pursue strategic acquisitions and generate additional projects.

We have developed an operating strategy that is based on our participation in exploration prospects as a non-operator. Based on this strategy, our plan of operations over the next 12 months and beyond is to acquire additional oil and natural gas interests and the additional working capital necessary to acquire and development such properties. We intend to pursue the acquisition of oil and natural gas interests; including prospects, leases, wells, mineral rights, working interests, royalty interests, overriding royalty interests, net profits interests, production payments, farm-ins, drill to earn arrangements, partnerships, easements, rights of way, licenses and permits, in the United States and Canada. As a non-operator, we intend to pursue prospects in partnership with other companies with exploration, development and production expertise. We will also pursue alliances with partners in the areas of geological and geophysical services and prospect generation, evaluation and prospect leasing.
 
1


The business of oil and gas acquisition, drilling and development is capital intensive and the level of operations attainable by an oil and gas company is directly linked to and limited by the amount of available capital. Therefore, a principal part of our plan of operations is to acquire the additional capital required to finance the acquisition of such properties and our share of the development costs.
 
We intend to use the services of independent consultants and contractors to perform various professional services, including reservoir engineering, land, legal, environmental and tax services. As a non-operator working interest owner, we intend to rely on outside operators to drill, produce and market our natural gas and oil. We believe that by limiting our management and employee costs, we may be able to better control total costs and retain flexibility in terms of project management.

Seasonality

The exploration for oil and natural gas reserves depends on access to areas where operations are to be conducted.  Seasonal weather variations, including freeze-up and break-up affect access in certain circumstances.  Natural gas is used principally as a heating fuel and for power generation.  Accordingly, seasonal variations in weather patterns affect the demand for natural gas.  Depending on prevailing conditions, the prices received for sales of natural gas are generally higher in winter than summer months, while prices are generally higher in summer than spring and fall months.

Our Properties

We have working interests ranging from 7.5% to 95.00% (net revenue interests ranging from 4.11% to 47.5%) in the various prospects in which we are a participant. A “working interest” is a percentage of ownership in an oil and gas lease granting its owner the right to explore, drill, and produce oil and gas from a tract of property. Working interest owners are obligated to pay a corresponding percentage of the cost of leasing, drilling, producing, and operating a well or unit. After royalties are paid, the working interest also entitles its owner to share in production revenues with other working interest owners based on the percentage of working interest owned. A “net revenue interest” is a share of production after all burdens, such as royalties, have been deducted from the working interest. It is the percentage of production that each party actually receives.

We began generating revenues from our oil and gas operations during the last few days of December 2007. We have not completed an engineering evaluation of our interests to establish proved reserves and cannot forecast when we will do so. “Proved reserves” are estimated quantities of crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, we participated in drilling the following wells with the interests and results indicated:

We do not act as the operator of any of the properties in which we have a working interest. Rather, we contract out such activities to third parties and accordingly we rely on such third parties, to implement our exploration programs, increase production and establish reserves. Under our agreements with our operators, we typically agree to bear an agreed amount of the costs of drilling a designated well plus an additional fixed amount for costs of well completion, if warranted, in consideration of assignment of an agreed percentage of the working interest in the well, and join in an industry standard joint operating agreement with all other working interest owners. The operator typically agrees to obtain necessary permits to conduct proposed operations, contract with a third-party driller, log and test the well, provide us with specified drilling and test result reports, and assign the agreed working interest percentage upon our satisfaction of our covenants. Generally, we pay approximately one third of the working interest cost of drilling and completing a well for each one quarter of working interest earned.

Competition

The oil and natural gas industry is highly competitive in all its phases. These phases include, but are not limited to:

·
acquiring economically desirable producing properties
·
acquiring exploratory drilling prospects, and
·
obtaining equipment and labor to operate and maintain their properties

Properties in which we may acquire an interest will encounter strong competition from other oil and gas producers, including many that will possess substantially greater financial resources than us. Competition could reduce the availability of properties of merit or increase the cost of acquiring the properties.
 
We will be competing with other junior oil and gas exploration companies for financing from a limited number of investors that are prepared to make investments in junior oil and gas exploration companies. The presence of competing junior oil and gas exploration companies may impact our ability to raise the necessary capital to fund the acquisition and exploration programs if investors view investments in competitors as more attractive based on the merit of the oil and gas properties and the price of the investment offered to investors.

Governmental Regulations
 
Our operations are subject to regulation under a wide range of state and federal statutes, rules, orders and regulations. State and federal statutes and regulations govern, among other matters, the amounts and types of substances and materials that may be released into the environment, the discharge and disposition of waste materials, the reclamation and abandonment of wells and facility sites and remediation of contaminated sites. They also require permits for drilling operations, drilling bonds and reports concerning operations.

The region where we own property and conduct exploration activities, and other localities where we may acquire properties, may have regulations governing conservation matters, including provisions for the unitization or pooling of oil and natural gas properties, the establishment of maximum rates of production from oil and natural gas wells and the regulation of the spacing, plugging and abandonment of wells. The effect of these regulations is to limit the amount of oil and natural gas we can produce from our wells, if any, and to limit the number of wells or the locations at which we can drill. Moreover, each governmental agency generally imposes an ad valorem, production or severance tax with respect to the production and sale of crude oil, natural gas and gas liquids within its jurisdiction.

Environmental Regulations
 
Our exploration, production and marketing operations are regulated extensively at the federal, state and local levels. These regulations affect the costs, manner and feasibility of our operations. As an owner of oil and gas properties, we are subject to federal, state and local regulation regarding the discharge of materials into, and protection of, the environment. We have no material outstanding site restoration or other environmental liabilities, and we do not anticipate that we will incur any material environmental liabilities with respect to our properties in the future. We believe we utilize operating practices that are environmentally responsible and meet, or exceed, regulatory requirements with respect to environmental and safety matters. Despite the above, however, we may be required to make significant expenditures in our efforts to comply with the requirements of these environmental regulations, which may impose liability on us for the cost of pollution clean-up resulting from operations, subject us to liability for pollution damages and require suspension or cessation of operations in affected areas. Changes in or additions to regulations regarding the protection of the environment could increase our compliance costs and might adversely affect our business.
 
3

 
We are subject to state and local regulations that impose permitting, reclamation, land use, conservation and other restrictions on our ability to drill and produce. These laws and regulations can require well and facility sites to be closed and reclaimed.
 
We did not incur any material costs relating to our compliance with federal, state or local laws during the year ended December 31, 2007.

RISK FACTORS
 
Risks Specific to Our Company
 
WE HAVE LIMITED OPERATING FUNDS, AND OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN IS DEPENDENT UPON OUR ABILITY TO OBTAIN ADDITIONAL CAPITAL TO OPERATE THE BUSINESS.
 
The Company has experienced net losses since January 4, 2002 (date of inception), which losses have caused an accumulated deficit of approximately $15,418,500 as of December 31, 2007. In addition, the Company has consumed cash in its operating activities of approximately $2,653,800 and $337,900 for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. We will require additional funds to execute our business plan. Our lack of sufficient financing to fully implement our business plan, and our expectation to continue operating losses for the foreseeable future raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
 
OUR INDEPENDENT AUDITORS HAVE EXPRESSED SUBSTANTIAL DOUBT ABOUT OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN, WHICH MAY HINDER OUR ABILITY TO OBTAIN FUTURE FINANCING.

Our independent registered certified public accounting firm has issued its report, which includes an explanatory paragraph for going concern uncertainty on our financial statements as of December 31, 2007. Our ability to continue as a going concern is heavily dependent upon our ability to obtain additional capital to sustain operations. Currently, we have no commitments to obtain additional capital, and there can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all.
 
SINCE WE ARE IN THE EARLY STAGE OF DEVELOPMENT AND HAVE A LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY, IT MAY BE DIFFICULT FOR YOU TO ASSESS OUR BUSINESS AND FUTURE PROSPECTS.
 
We have a limited history of revenues from oil and natural gas operations. We have yet to generate positive earnings and there can be no assurance that we will ever operate profitably. With this limited operating history our company must be considered in the exploration stage. Our success is significantly dependent on a successful acquisition, drilling, completion and production program. Our operations will be subject to all the risks inherent in the establishment of a developing enterprise and the uncertainties arising from the absence of a significant operating history. We may be unable to locate recoverable reserves or operate on a profitable basis. We are in the exploration stage and potential investors should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by enterprises in the exploration stage. If our business plan is not successful, and we are not able to operate profitably, investors may lose some or all of their investment in our company.
 
WE WILL NEED ADDITIONAL CAPITAL, THE AVAILABILITY OF WHICH IS UNCERTAIN, TO FUND OUR BUSINESS AND COMPLETE THE IMPLEMENTATION OF OUR BUSINESS PLAN.

We will require additional financing in order to carry out our business plan. Such financing may take the form of the issuance of common or preferred stock or debt securities, or may involve bank financing. There can be no assurance that we will obtain such additional capital on a timely basis, on favorable terms, or at all. If we are unable to generate the required amount of additional capital, our ability to meet our financial obligations and to implement our business plan may be adversely affected.
 
BECAUSE WE ARE SMALL AND DO NOT HAVE MUCH CAPITAL, WE MAY HAVE TO LIMIT OUR EXPLORATION ACTIVITY WHICH MAY RESULT IN A LOSS OF YOUR INVESTMENT.  

Because we are small and do not have much capital, we must limit our exploration activity. As such we may not be able to complete an exploration program that is as thorough as we would like. In that event, existing reserves may go undiscovered. Without finding reserves, we cannot generate revenues and you will lose your investment.
 
5


AS OUR PROPERTIES ARE IN THE EXPLORATION STAGE, THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE THAT WE WILL ESTABLISH COMMERCIAL DISCOVERIES ON OUR PROPERTIES.

Exploration for economic reserves of oil and gas is subject to a number of risk factors. Few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing oil and/or gas wells. Our properties are in the exploration stage only and are without proven reserves of oil and gas. We may not establish commercial discoveries on any of our properties.

THE POTENTIAL PROFITABILITY OF OIL AND GAS VENTURES DEPENDS UPON FACTORS BEYOND THE CONTROL OF OUR COMPANY.
 
The potential profitability of oil and gas properties is dependent upon many factors beyond our control. For instance, world prices and markets for oil and gas are unpredictable, highly volatile, potentially subject to governmental fixing, pegging, controls, or any combination of these and other factors, and respond to changes in domestic, international, political, social, and economic environments. Additionally, due to worldwide economic uncertainty, the availability and cost of funds for production and other expenses have become increasingly difficult, if not impossible, to project. In addition, adverse weather conditions can also hinder drilling operations. These changes and events may materially affect our financial performance. These factors cannot be accurately predicted and the combination of these factors may result in our company not receiving an adequate return on invested capital.
 
THE OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY IS HIGHLY COMPETITIVE AND THERE IS NO ASSURANCE THAT WE WILL BE SUCCESSFUL IN ACQUIRING LEASES.
 
The oil and gas industry is intensely competitive. We compete with numerous individuals and companies, including many major oil and gas companies, which may have substantially greater technical, financial and operational resources and staffs. Accordingly, there is a high degree of competition for desirable oil and gas leases, suitable properties for drilling operations and necessary drilling equipment, as well as for access to funds. We cannot predict if the necessary funds can be raised or that any projected work will be completed. Our budget anticipates our acquisition of additional land the Alberta area. This acreage may not become available or if it is available for leasing, that we may not be successful in acquiring these leases.

Risks Specific to Our Industry
 
THE MARKETABILITY OF NATURAL RESOURCES WILL BE AFFECTED BY NUMEROUS FACTORS BEYOND OUR CONTROL.
 
The marketability of natural resources which may be acquired or discovered by us will be affected by numerous factors beyond our control. These factors include market fluctuations in oil and gas pricing and demand, the proximity and capacity of natural resource markets and processing equipment, governmental regulations, land tenure, land use, regulation concerning the importing and exporting of oil and gas and environmental protection regulations. The exact effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted, but the combination of these factors may result in us not receiving an adequate return on invested capital to be profitable or viable.
 
OIL AND GAS OPERATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO COMPREHENSIVE REGULATION WHICH MAY CAUSE SUBSTANTIAL DELAYS OR REQUIRE CAPITAL OUTLAYS IN EXCESS OF THOSE ANTICIPATED CAUSING AN ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR COMPANY.
 
Oil and gas operations are subject to federal, state, and local laws relating to the protection of the environment, including laws regulating removal of natural resources from the ground and the discharge of materials into the environment. Oil and gas operations are also subject to federal, state, and local laws and regulations which seek to maintain health and safety standards by regulating the design and use of drilling methods and equipment. Various permits from government bodies are required for drilling operations to be conducted; no assurance can be given that such permits will be received. Environmental standards imposed by federal, provincial, or local authorities may be changed and any such changes may have material adverse effects on our activities. Moreover, compliance with such laws may cause substantial delays or require capital outlays in excess of those anticipated, thus causing an adverse effect on us. Additionally, we may be subject to liability for pollution or other environmental damages. To date we have not been required to spend any material amount on compliance with environmental regulations. However, we may be required to do so in future and this may affect our ability to expand or maintain our operations.
 
6

 
EXPLORATION AND PRODUCTION ACTIVITIES ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS WHICH MAY PREVENT OR DELAY THE COMMENCEMENT OR CONTINUANCE OF OUR OPERATIONS.
 
In general, our exploration and production activities are subject to certain federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to environmental quality and pollution control. Such laws and regulations increase the costs of these activities and may prevent or delay the commencement or continuance of a given operation. Compliance with these laws and regulations has not had a material effect on our operations or financial condition to date. Specifically, we are subject to legislation regarding emissions into the environment, water discharges and storage and disposition of hazardous wastes. In addition, legislation has been enacted which requires well and facility sites to be abandoned and reclaimed to the satisfaction of state authorities. However, such laws and regulations are frequently changed and we are unable to predict the ultimate cost of compliance. Generally, environmental requirements do not appear to affect us any differently or to any greater or lesser extent than other companies in the industry. We believe that our operations comply, in all material respects, with all applicable environmental regulations. Our operating partners maintain insurance coverage customary to the industry; however, we are not fully insured against all possible environmental risks.
 
EXPLORATORY DRILLING INVOLVES MANY RISKS AND WE MAY BECOME LIABLE FOR POLLUTION OR OTHER LIABILITIES WHICH MAY HAVE AN ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR FINANCIAL POSITION.
 
Drilling operations generally involve a high degree of risk. Hazards such as unusual or unexpected geological formations, power outages, labor disruptions, blow-outs, sour gas leakage, fire, inability to obtain suitable or adequate machinery, equipment or labor, and other risks are involved. We may become subject to liability for pollution or hazards against which it cannot adequately insure or which it may elect not to insure. Incurring any such liability may have a material adverse effect on our financial position and operations.
 
Risks Related to Our Securities
 
IF WE ARE REQUIRED FOR ANY REASON TO REPAY OUR OUTSTANDING DEBENTURES WE WOULD BE REQUIRED TO DEPLETE OUR WORKING CAPITAL, IF AVAILABLE, OR RAISE ADDITIONAL FUNDS. OUR FAILURE TO REPAY THE DEBENTURES, IF REQUIRED, COULD RESULT IN LEGAL ACTION AGAINST US, WHICH COULD REQUIRE THE SALE OF SUBSTANTIAL ASSETS.    

We have outstanding, as of December 31, 2007, $6,852,941 aggregate original principal amount of our Debentures. The Debentures bear interest at the rate of 8% per annum.

Unless deferred by the holders of the Senior Debentures, we are required to redeem the Senior Debentures on a monthly basis commencing on September 1, 2008, by payment, at our option, in cash or in shares of our common stock, one-twelfth of the aggregate original principal amount of the Senior Debentures or approximately $425,900 plus interest on the outstanding balance. Similarly, we are required to redeem the Junior Debentures on a monthly basis commencing on November 1, 2008, by payment, at our option, in cash or in shares of our common stock, one-twelfth of the aggregate original principal amount of the Junior Debentures or approximately $145,200 plus interest on the outstanding balance.

The Senior Debentures and the Junior Debentures are due and payable on September 1, 2009 and October 31, 2009, respectively, unless sooner converted into shares of our common stock. Any event of default could require the early repayment of the Debentures, including the accruing of interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Debentures if the default is not cured with the specified grace period. We anticipate that the full amount of the Debentures will be converted into shares of our common stock, in accordance with the terms of the Debentures; however no assurance can be provided that any amount of Debentures will be converted. If, prior to the maturity date, we are required to repay the Debentures in full, we would be required to use our limited working capital and raise additional funds. If we were unable to repay the notes when required, the Debenture holders could commence legal action against us to recover the amounts due. Any such action could require us to curtail or cease operations.

·   
G Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 2,178,309 of shares at $1.00 per share for a period of five years from the closing date of the November 2007 Financing.

The sales of the shares of our common stock underlying theses Debentures and Warrants in the public market could adversely affect the market price for our common stock and make it more difficult for you to sell shares of our common stock at times and prices that you feel are appropriate.

THERE IS AN INCREASED POTENTIAL FOR SHORT SALES OF OUR COMMON STOCK DUE TO THE SALES OF SHARES ISSUED TO THE HOLDERS IN CONNECTION WITH THE SENIOR DEBENTURES AND A WARRANTS, WHICH COULD MATERIALLY AFFECT THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR STOCK.

Downward pressure on the market price of our common stock that likely will result from sales of our common stock by the Holders issued in connection with exercises of the A Warrants and conversions of the Senior Debentures could encourage short sales of common stock by the Purchasers or others.  A "short sale" is defined as the sale of stock by an investor that the investor does not own.  Typically, investors who sell short believe that the price of the stock will fall, and anticipate selling at a price higher than the price at which they will buy the stock.  Significant amounts of such short selling could place further downward pressure on the market price of our common stock, which could make it more difficult for existing shareholders to sell their shares.

THE ISSUANCE OF SHARES UPON CONVERSION OF THE DEBENTURES AND EXERCISE OF OUTSTANDING WARRANTS WILL CAUSE IMMEDIATE AND SUBSTANTIAL DILUTION TO OUR EXISTING STOCKHOLDERS.    

The issuance of shares upon conversion of the Debentures and exercise of warrants will result in substantial dilution to the interests of other stockholders since the purchasers may ultimately convert and sell the full amount issuable on conversion or exercise as the case may be. Although no single purchaser may convert its Debentures and/or exercise its warrants if such conversion or exercise would cause it to own more than 4.99% of our outstanding common stock, this restriction does not prevent each purchaser from converting and/or exercising some of its holdings and then converting the rest of its holdings. In this way, each purchaer could sell more than this limit while never holding more than this limit. There is no upper limit on the number of shares that may be issued which will have the effect of further diluting the proportionate equity interest and voting power of holders of our common stock, including investors in this offering. In addition, the issuance of the Debentures and the warrants triggered certain anti-dilution rights for certain third parties currently holding our securities resulting in substantial dilution to the interests of other stockholders.

PAYMENT OF MANDATORY MONTHLY REDEMPTIONS IN SHARES OF COMMON STOCK WILL RESULT IN SUBSTANTIAL DILUTION.    

To the extent that the Debentures are not converted and the holders do not defer the monthly redemption provisions of the Debentures, we expect to satisfy all or a significant portion of our obligation to redeem one-twelfth of the aggregate original principal amount of Debentures per month through issuance of additional shares of our common stock.

This may result in substantial dilution to the interests of other stockholders because the redemption price is 80% of the average of the three (3) lowest closing bid prices of the common stock over the twenty (20) trading day period ending on the trading day immediately preceding the applicable monthly redemption date, but not more than $0.80 per share, thus possibly requiring the issuance of more shares than would have been issued upon conversion.

In addition, we have previously contractually granted certain investors anti-dilution protections that will result in further dilution in the event the conversion, exercise or redemption prices associated with the monthly redemptions, as the case may be, are below $0.80 per share of our common stock.

IF WE FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE DEBENTURES, WARRANTS, THE REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENTS, OR THE SECURITIES AGREEMENT, WE MAY BE OBLIGATED TO PAY THE PURCHASERS OF THE DEBENTURES DAMAGES.   

We have various obligations to file and obtain the effectiveness of certain registration statements which include certain outstanding common stock and common stock underlying outstanding Debentures and common stock underlying the warrants. If we fail to meet any obligations we have to have effective and current registration statements available (including the current registration statement related to the common stock underlying our Debentures and warrants), we may become obligated to pay damages to investors to the extent they may be entitled to such damages. In addition, to the filing of registration statements in connection with both the September 2007 and November 2007 Debentures and the Related Registration Rights Agreements and the Securities Agreement we may be required to file additional registration statements at various times in the future. We are initially seeking to register a number of shares which exceeds 33 percent of our currently issued and outstanding shares of common stock. Because of the Securities and Exchange Commission's recent interpretation of Rule 415, we cannot offer any assurances that we will be able to obtain the effectiveness of any registration statements or post-effective amendments to existing registration that we may file.

BOTH THE SEPTEMBER 2007 FINANCING AND THE NOVEMBER 2007 FINANCING IMPOSES CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON HOW WE CONDUCT OUR BUSINESS. IN ADDITION, ALL OF OUR ASSETS, INCLUDING OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, ARE PLEDGED TO SECURE THIS INDEBTEDNESS. IF WE FAIL TO MEET OUR OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE SENIOR DEBENTURES, OUR PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS MAY BE ACCELERATED AND THE COLLATERAL SECURING THE DEBT MAY BE SOLD TO SATISFY THESE OBLIGATIONS.

The financing documents relating to each of the September 2007 Financing and November 2007 Financing contains various provisions that restrict our operating flexibility. Pursuant to the agreement, we may not directly or indirectly, among other things:

·  
pay, declare or set apart for such payment, any dividend or other distribution (whether in cash, property or other securities) on shares of capital stock or make any other payment or distribution in respect of our capital stock;
·  
redeem, repay, repurchase or otherwise acquire (whether for cash or in exchange for property or other securities or otherwise) any shares of our capital stock;
·  
by amendment of our charter documents, or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of the Debentures;
·  
enter into, create, incur, assume, guarantee or suffer to exist any indebtedness for borrowed money of any kind, including but not limited to, a guarantee, on or with respect to any of its property or assets now owned or hereafter acquired or any interest therein or any income or profits therefrom;
·  
other than permitted liens, enter into, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any mortgage, lien, pledge, charge, security interest or other encumbrance upon or in any property or assets (including accounts and contract rights) owned by us or any of our subsidiaries;
·  
enter into any transaction with any of our affiliates;
·  
redeem, defease, repurchase, repay or make any payments in respect of, by the payment of cash or cash equivalents (in whole or in part, whether by way of open market purchases, tender offers, private transactions or otherwise), all or any portion of any indebtedness; or
·  
effect any type of variable price financing.

These provisions could have important consequences for us, including (i) making it more difficult for us to obtain additional debt or equity financing from another lender, or obtain new debt financing on terms favorable to us, and or (ii) causing us to use a portion of our available cash for debt repayment and service rather than other corporate purposes.

IT MAY BE MORE DIFFICULT FOR US TO RAISE FUNDS IN SUBSEQUENT STOCK OFFERINGS AS A RESULT OF THE SALES OF OUR COMMON STOCK BY THE HOLDERS IN CONNECTION WITH THE A WARRANTS AND THE SENIOR DEBENTURES.

As noted above, sales by the Holders likely will result in substantial dilution to the holdings and interest of current and new shareholders.  Additionally, as noted above, the volume of shares sold by the Holders could depress the market price of our stock.  These factors could make it more difficult for us to raise additional capital through subsequent offerings of our common stock, which could have a material adverse effect on our operations.

OUR OBLIGATIONS, UNDER THE SENIOR DEBENTURES AND THE SEPTEMBER SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT, ARE SECURED BY SUBSTANTIALLY ALL OF OUR ASSETS.    

In connection with the September 2007 Financing we entered into a security agreement pursuant to which we granted a security interest in and to substantially all of our assets for the purpose of securing our obligations under the Senior Debentures and the September Securities Purchase Agreement. Consequently, if we default under the terms of the, Senior Debentures or the September Securities Purchase Agreement, the agent (as defined in the Security Agreement), on behalf of the Debenture holders, may foreclose on the security interest and sell and liquidate all of our assets. This would require us to cease operations.

OUR COMMON STOCK IS SUBJECT TO THE “PENNY STOCK” RULES OF THE SEC AND THE TRADING MARKET IN OUR SECURITIES IS LIMITED, WHICH MAKES TRANSACTIONS IN OUR STOCK CUMBERSOME AND MAY REDUCE THE VALUE OF AN INVESTMENT IN OUR STOCK.
 
10

 
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes the definition of a “penny stock,” for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require:

·
that a broker or dealer approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks; and
·
the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased.

In order to approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must:

·
obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person; and
·
make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks.
 
The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the Commission relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form:

·
sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and
·
that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction.
 
Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the “penny stock” rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our stock.
 
Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.

FUTURE SALES OF SHARES MAY ADVERSELY IMPACT THE VALUE OF OUR STOCK.
 
We will seek to raise additional capital through the sale of our common stock. Future sales of our common stock could cause the market price of our common stock to decline.
 
IF A MARKET WERE TO DEVELOP FOR OUR SHARES, THE SHARE PRICES MAY BE HIGHLY VOLATILE.
 
The market prices of equity securities of small companies have experienced extreme price volatility in recent years not necessarily related to the individual performance of specific companies. Factors such as announcements by us, or our competitors concerning products, technology, governmental regulatory actions, other events affecting energy companies generally and general market conditions may have a significant impact on the market price of our shares and could cause it to fluctuate substantially.
 
POSSIBLE ISSUANCE OF ADDITIONAL SHARES MAY IMPACT THE PRICE OF OUR STOCK SHOULD A PUBLIC TRADING MARKET EVER DEVELOP.
 
Our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of 250,000,000 shares of common stock. Approximately 88% of our authorized common stock remains un-issued. Our Board of Directors has the power to issue any or all of such additional common stock without stockholder approval. Investors should be aware that any stock issuances might result in a reduction of the book value or market price, if any, of the then outstanding common stock. If we were to issue additional common stock, such issuance will reduce proportionate ownership and voting power of the other stockholders. Also, any new issuance of common stock may result in a change of control.
 
11

 
THE VALUE AND TRANSFERABILITY OF OUR SHARES MAY BE ADVERSELY IMPACTED BY THE LACK OF A TRADING MARKET FOR OUR SHARES AND THE PENNY STOCK RULES SHOULD SUCH A MARKET DEVELOP.
 
There is no current trading market for our shares and there can be no assurance that a trading market will develop, or, if such trading market does develop, that it will be sustained. To the extent that a market develops for our shares at all, they will likely appear in what is customarily known as the “pink sheets” or, assuming we are able to satisfy the requisite criteria, on the OTC Bulletin Board, which may limit their marketability and liquidity.

Nisku Reef Prospect – Alberta, Canada
 
In September 2006, we acquired a working interest in the Nisku Reef project which is situated in the Pembina oil field. We have an agreement to earn a 95% working interest in 480 acres of leased lands by drilling a test well to the base of the Nisku formation, subject to a convertible 15.0% GORR (gross overriding royalty) to the lease holder. The allowable 160 acre spacing does permit for up to three wells to be drilled on this prospect.
 
We have performed 3-D seismic programs and magneto telluric programs on our prospect during the 4th quarter of 2006 and the first quarter of 2007. We do not have any arrangements with any third party regarding the drilling program on this property. As of December 31, 2007, management has considered this prospect as impaired and has included an impairment charge of approximately $141,200 during the twelve months ended 2007.
 
Caviar Prospects – Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana
 
In March 2007, we signed a participation agreement that expanded our oil and gas exploration and production activities into Southeastern Louisiana. The agreement allowed us to earn a 10% working interest before casing point and a 7.5% interest after casing point based on the participation in the drilling of a test well. If we satisfy our obligation, we then have the right to participate in three remaining wells to be drilled within the prospect. This prospect, named Caviar, lies in the prolific Middle Miocene Trend, which stretches across most of Southeastern Louisiana. Drilling on the first well was completed in September 2007 and the subsequent election was made by well participants to complete the well. Production casing has been set and the well is expected to start production in the second quarter of 2008, as soon as the gas pipeline is installed to the prospect.
 
Amberjack Prospect – Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana
 
In May 2007, we signed a participation agreement that continued the expansion of our oil and gas exploration and production activities into Southeastern Louisiana. The agreement allowed us to earn a 7.5% working interest before casing point and a 5.625% interest after casing point based on the participation in the drilling of a test well. This prospect, known as the Amberjack Prospect, is amplitude supported, 10500’, normal pressured, drilling venture located in inland waters of Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana.  The project targeted multiple Middle Miocene (Tex-W, Big-H) sands on a well defined structural closure. The prospect was successfully drilled in June 2007 and began production in the last few days of December 2007. 
 
East OMG Prospect – Cameron Parish, Louisiana
 
We signed a participation agreement in August 2007 that gives us the right to earn a 17.5% working interest before casing point and a 13.125% interest after casing point based on the participation in the drilling of a well on the East OMG Prospect. Wells adjacent to the East OMG Prospect such as Chalkley Miogyp field and S. Lake Arthur, have cumulative production of 500 billion BCFE and 800 billion BCFE, respectively; however, you should note that proximity of these fields to our property provides no assurance that we will establish any reserves on our property.
 
Production from the adjacent wells listed above is from the same Upper Miogyp sandstones that are the main objective of the East OMG Prospect. The combined reserve potential of the four principal objective sandstones that comprise the East OMG prospect is estimated to be greater than 59 BCFE. The project began drilling in October 2007 and is concluded in December 2007. After review of the well logs, it was determined the best course of action was to plug and abandon the well. As of December 31, 2007, management has considered this prospect as impaired and has included an impairment charge of approximately $2,164,100 during the twelve months ended 2007.
 
Lake Campo Prospect – Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana
 
We have a 9.375% interest after casing point in the Lake Campo Prospect; this prospect is an established productive structure that produces gas from water drive sands down-dip to the proposed drill location. Lake Campo also lies in the prolific Middle Miocene Trend. Drilling was completed on the test well in October 2007 and the election was made to complete the well. This well began production in January 2008.
 
14

 
W. Rosedale Prospect –Ibervile Parish, Louisiana
 
We have the right to earn a 15.0% working interest before casing point and a 12.0% interest after casing point based on the participation in the drilling of a test well. This prospect, named W. Rosedale, is 3-D and sub-surface supported multiple objectives, 10,150’ normal pressured drilling prospect located 20 miles west of Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Drilling on the prospect began in October 2007 and the prospect was plugged and abandoned in November 2007. As of December 31, 2007, management has considered this prospect as impaired and has included an impairment charge of approximately $396,900 during the twelve months ended 2007.
 
Lone Oak Prospect – Galveston Bay, Texas
 
We have the right to earn a 12.5% working interest before casing point and a 9.375% interest after casing point based on the participation in the drilling of a test well. This prospect, named Lone Oak, is a 3,526 acre prospect located in the inland waters of Galveston Bay, Texas. Drilling of this 13,000 foot well is scheduled to begin in May 2008.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

Our November 2007 Financing . On or about November 29, 2007 we consummated a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “November SPA”) in which we received aggregate proceeds of $1,350,000 reflecting a 20% original issue discount to the purchasers. Pursuant to the November SPA, we issued:

·
An aggregate of $1,742,647 of Junior Debentures convertible into shares of our common stock at $0.80 per share;
·
D Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 2,178,309 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.88 per share, for a period of 5 years from the closing date of the November 2007 Financing;
·
E Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 2,178,309 units, each unit consisting of a share of our common stock and one F Warrant, at exercise price of $0.80 per unit, for a period of 1 year from the effective date of the initial registration statement of which this prospectus is part; the F Warrants permit the holders thereof to purchase one share of our common stock at a price of $0.88 per share.
·
G Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 2,178,309 shares at $1.00 per share for a period of five years from the closing date of the November 2007 financing.

The outstanding principal balances of the Junior Debentures are due and payable on October 31, 2009, and will begin to amortize monthly commencing on November 1, 2008. The Junior Debentures bear interest at a rate of 8 percent per annum. The amortization may be effected through cash payments, or at our option subject to certain conditions, through the issuance of shares of our common stock, based on a price per share equal to 80% of the lowest three (3) closing bid prices of the common stock over the 20 trading days immediately preceding the date of such payment.

Until the maturity date of the Junior Debentures, the purchasers have the right to convert the Junior Debentures, in whole or in part, into shares of our common stock at a price $0.80 (subsequently adjusted to $0.50), or 2,178,309 (subsequently adjusted to 3,485,294) shares in the aggregate. The conversion price may be adjusted downward under circumstances set forth in the Junior Debentures. If so adjusted, the aggregate number of shares issuable, upon conversion in full, will increase.

The Junior Debentures include customary default provisions and an event of default includes, among other things, a change of control, the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, the failure to file and have a registration statement declared effective on or before the deadlines set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement, or the lapse of the effectiveness of registration statements for more than 20 consecutive trading days or 30 non-consecutive days during any 12-month period (with certain exceptions) which results in such indebtedness being accelerated. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, each Debenture may become immediately due and payable, either automatically or by declaration of the holder of such Debenture. The aggregate amount payable upon an acceleration by reason of an event of default shall be equal to the greater of 125% of the principal amount of the Junior Debentures to be prepaid or the principal amount of the Junior Debentures to be prepaid, divided by the conversion price on the date specified in the Debenture, multiplied by the closing price on the date set forth in the Debenture. Since a registration statement was not filed timely, the debentures are in technical default and have therefore been recorded as a current liability.

The purchasers also received D Warrants to purchase 2,178,309 (subsequently adjusted to 3,833,824) additional shares of common stock at a price of $0.88 per share (subsequently adjusted to $0.50) exercisable for five (5) years. The investors also received E Warrants to purchase 2,178,309 (subsequently adjusted to 3,485,294) additional shares of common stock at a price of $0.80 per share (subsequently adjusted to $0.50) exercisable for one year after the registration statement is declared effective. The investors will also receive a F Warrant with the exercise of the E Warrant that will allow the investors to purchase 2,178,309 (subsequently adjusted to 3,833,824) additional shares of common stock at a price of $0.88 per share (subsequently adjusted to $0.50) exercisable for a period of five (5) years. The Purchases also received a G Warrants that will allow the purchase of up 2,178,309 (subsequently adjusted to 4,356,618) of additional shares of common stock at a price of $1.00 per share (subsequently adjusted to $0.50). All warrants vest immediately upon issuance. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the holder of the warrant can demand payment for their warrants at fair value.

The debenture agreements also have certain milestones that the Company has agreed to that if not met, results in the repricing of the conversion rate and warrant exercise price. One such milestone was a revenue target to be achieved by March 31, 2008. This milestone was not met. However, the conversion rates and exercise prices had been previously adjusted due to a subsequent rights offering in conjunction with a financing transaction to a price below the market value of the common stock at March 31, 2008.

The Junior Debentures and the warrants contain anti-dilution provisions.

In connection with this transaction, each purchaser has contractually agreed to restrict its ability to convert the Junior Debentures, exercise the warrants and additional investment rights and receive shares of our common stock such that the number of shares of our common stock held by them and their affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed 4.99% of the number of shares of our common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion or exercise.

The fair values as of November 29, 2007, the date of issuance, of the debentures and related derivative instruments were valued using the Black-Scholes model, resulting in an initial fair value of approximately $3,234,400. The effects of interactions between embedded derivatives are calculated and accounted for in arriving at the overall fair value of the financial instruments. The excess of the fair value over the transaction price of the Debentures was recorded through the results of operations as a debit of approximately $1,884,400 to Charges Related to Issuance of November 2007 Convertible Debentures and Warrants.
 
The November 2007 Convertible Debentures and related derivatives outstanding at December 31, 2007 were again valued at fair value using a combination of Binomial and Black Scholes models, resulting in a increase in the fair value of the liability of approximately $409,400, which was recorded through the results of operations as a credit to adjustments to fair value of derivatives.
 
In connection with this financing, we paid cash fees to a broker-dealer of $94,500 and issued a warrant to purchase 135,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.88 per share. The initial fair value of the warrant was estimated at approximately $73,100 using the Black Scholes pricing model. The assumptions used in the Black Scholes model are as follows: (1) dividend yield of 0%, (2) expected volatility of 145.14%, (3) risk-free interest rate of 5.09%, and (4) expected life of 1 year. Cash fees paid, and the initial fair value of the warrant, have been capitalized as debt issuance costs and are being amortized over 24 months using the effective interest rate method.

An aggregate of $5,110,294 of Senior Debentures, convertible into shares of our common stock at $0.80 per share;
·
A Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 6,387,868 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.88 per share, for a period of 5 years from the closing date of the 2007 Financing;
·
B Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 6,387,868 units, each unit consisting of a share of our common stock and one C Warrant, at exercise price of $0.80 per unit, for a period of 1 year from the effective date of the initial registration statement of which this prospectus is part; the C Warrants permit the holders thereof to purchase one share of our common stock at a price of $0.88 per share.
 
18

 
The Senior Debentures are due and payable on August 31, 2009, and will begin to amortize monthly commencing on September 1, 2008. The Senior Debentures bear interest at a rate of eight percent per annum. The amortization may be effected through cash payments, or at our option subject to certain conditions, through the issuance of shares of our common stock, based on a price per share equal to 80% of the lowest three (3) closing bid prices of the common stock over the 20 trading days immediately preceding the date of such payment.

Until the maturity date of the Senior Debentures, the purchasers have the right to convert the Senior Debentures, in whole or in part, into shares of our common stock at a price $0.80, which was subsequently adjusted downward to $0.50. The conversion price may be adjusted downward under circumstances set forth in the Senior Debentures. If so adjusted, the aggregate number of shares issuable, upon conversion in full, will increase.

The Senior Debentures include customary default provisions and an event of default includes, among other things, a change of control, the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, the failure to file and have a registration statement declared effective on or before the deadlines set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement, or the lapse of the effectiveness of registration statements for more than 20 consecutive trading days or 30 non-consecutive days during any 12-month period (with certain exceptions) which results in such indebtedness being accelerated. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, each Debenture may become immediately due and payable, either automatically or by declaration of the holder of such Debenture. The aggregate amount payable upon an acceleration by reason of an event of default shall be equal to the greater of 125% of the principal amount of the Senior Debentures to be prepaid or the principal amount of the Senior Debentures to be prepaid, divided by the conversion price on the date specified in the Debenture, multiplied by the closing price on the date set forth in the Debenture. Since a registration statement was not filed timely, the debentures are in technical default and have therefore been recorded as a current liability.

The purchasers also received A Warrants to purchase 6,387,868 (subsequently adjusted to 11,242,647) additional shares of common stock at a price of $0.88 per share (subsequently adjusted to $0.50) exercisable for five (5) years. The investors also received B Warrants to purchase 6,387,868 (subsequently adjusted to 10,220,588) additional shares of common stock at a price of $0.80 (subsequently adjusted to $0.50) per share exercisable for one year after the registration statement is declared effective. The investors will also receive a C Warrant with the exercise of the B Warrant that will allow the investors to purchase 6,387,868 (subsequently adjusted to 11,242,647) additional shares of common stock at a price of $0.88 per share (subsequently adjusted to $0.50) exercisable for a period of five (5) years. The exercise price of the warrants may be adjusted downward under the circumstances set forth in the warrants. All warrants vest immediately upon issuance. If so adjusted, the aggregate number of shares issuable, upon exercise in full, will be increased so that the total aggregate cash exercise price remains constant. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the holder of the warrant can demand payment for their warrants at fair value.

The debenture agreements also have certain milestones that the Company has agreed to that if not met, results in the repricing of the conversion rate and warrant exercise price. One such milestone was a revenue target to be achieved by March 31, 2008. This milestone was not met. However, the conversion rates and exercise prices had been previously adjusted due to a subsequent rights offering in conjunction with a financing transaction to a price below the market value of the common stock at March 31, 2008.

Our obligations to the Holders in the September 2007 Financing are secured by a senior security interest and lien granted upon all of our assets pursuant to the terms of a Security Agreement entered into in connection with the closing.   The Senior Debentures and the September 2007 Warrants contain anti-dilution provisions.

In connection with this transaction, each purchaser has contractually agreed to restrict its ability to convert the Senior Debentures, exercise the warrants and additional investment rights and receive shares of our common stock such that the number of shares of our common stock held by them and their affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed 4.99% of the number of shares of our common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion or exercise.

The fair values as of September 13, 2007, the date of issuance, of the debentures and related derivative instruments were valued using the Black-Scholes model, resulting in an initial fair value of approximately $8,621,400. The effects of interactions between embedded derivatives are calculated and accounted for in arriving at the overall fair value of the financial instruments. The excess of the fair value over the transaction price of the Debentures was recorded through the results of operations as a debit of approximately $4,621,400 to Charges Related to Issuance of September 2007 Convertible Debentures and Warrants.
 
The 2007 Convertible Debentures and related derivatives outstanding at December 31, 2007 were again valued at fair value using a combination of Binomial and Black Scholes models, resulting in a decrease in the fair value of the liability of approximately $1,349,400, which was recorded through the results of operations as a debit to adjustments to fair value of derivatives.
 
In connection with this financing, we paid cash fees to a broker-dealer of $120,000 and issued a warrant to purchase 280,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.88 per share. The initial fair value of the warrant was estimated at approximately $147,900 using the Black Scholes pricing model. The assumptions used in the Black Scholes model are as follows: (1) dividend yield of 0%, (2) expected volatility of 64.45%, (3) risk-free interest rate of 5.09%, and (4) expected life of 2 years. Cash fees paid, and the initial fair value of the warrant, have been capitalized as debt issuance costs and are being amortized over 24 months using the effective interest rate method.

2006 Financings

On October 6, 2006, the Company entered into a two-year employment agreement with Mr. Kevin Tattersall to be its chief exploration officer. As part of his compensation and pursuant to the agreement, we issued Mr. Tattersall 812,500 shares of common stock in the company. As of December 31, 2006, a total of 94,792 shares vested under the employment agreement.

On or about December 11, 2006, we sold 5,000 restricted shares of our common stock for total net proceeds of $1,325. The securities were exempt from registration pursuant to Regulation S and Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Beginning in October and ending in December 2006, we sold 3,442,540 restricted shares of our common stock for total net proceeds of $608,822 to accredited investors. The securities were exempt from registration pursuant to Rule 506 of Regulation D and Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

2006 Non-Statutory Stock Option Plan

The 2006 Non-Statutory Stock Option Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors on September 13, 2006. The plan was intended to advance the interests of the Company by encouraging and enabling eligible employees, non-employee directors, consultants and advisors to acquire proprietary interests in the Company, and by providing the participating employees, non-employee directors, consultants, and advisors with an additional incentive to promote the success of the Company. Under this plan, a maximum of 37,500,000 shares of our common stock, par value $0.0001, were authorized for issue. The vesting and terms of all of the options are determined by the Board of Directors and may vary by optionee; however, the term may be no longer than 10 years from the date of grant.

ITEM 6.   MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

The following discussion of our plan of operation, financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements, and notes thereto, included elsewhere herein. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors including, but not limited to, those discussed in this Annual Report.

Corporate History

We were incorporated in the State of Delaware on January 4, 2002, under the name of "Universal Tanning Ventures, Inc." From inception until 2006, we owned and operated a single indoor tanning salon business that offered a full range of indoor tanning products and services to our customers. On May 21, 2006, we changed our name to "Universal Energy Corp." and focused our operations on the acquisition and development of oil and natural gas properties.

Plan of Operation

We are a small independent energy company engaged in the acquisition and development of crude oil and natural gas leases in the United States and Canada.  We pursue oil and gas prospects in partnership with oil and gas companies with exploration, development and production expertise. Our prospect areas currently consist of land in Alberta, Canada, Louisiana and Texas.

As of December 31, 2007, we have acquired interests in oil and gas properties and have participated in the drilling of 6 wells. We currently have working interests in ranging from 7.5% to 95%, see “Description of Property.” We continue to be considered an exploration-stage company due to the absence of significant revenue.

We plan to grow our business by acquiring (i) low risk in-field oil and gas rights that are primarily developmental in nature that offset existing production and (ii) energy companies that when combined with our management expertise in that area will display strong top line growth and cash flows. As we expand our business we will eventually seek to act as the operator of those properties in which we have an interest.

Since inception, we have funded our operations primarily from private placements of our common stock and debt issuances. Although we expect that, during the next 12 months, our operating capital needs will be met from our current economic resources and by additional private capital stock transactions, there can be no assurance that funds required will be available on terms acceptable to us or at all. Without additional financing, we do not expect that our current working capital will be able to fund our operations through 2008. If we are unable to raise sufficient funds on terms acceptable to us, we may be unable to complete our business plan. If equity financing is available to us on acceptable terms, it could result in additional dilution to our stockholders.

We have no proven reserves as of December 31, 2007, and we have generated minimal revenues from operations of our oil and gas activities. From inception to December 31, 2007, we have accumulated losses of approximately $15,418,500 and expect to incur further losses in the development of our business, all of which casts doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate future profitable operations and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet our obligations and repay our liabilities arising from normal business operations when they become due.

To the extent that we are successful in finding and producing oil and gas, of which there is no assurance, proceeds from that activity would be added to our working capital reserves and be available to fund future exploration.

                We believe that we will require additional funds to operate throughout the next 12 months. Furthermore any expansion beyond our current plans, will require additional capital funding. We intend to continue to seek drilling opportunities on the acreage in which we currently have an interest or in other acreage and to consider the possible acquisition of producing properties. We do not have funds to undertake any of these activities and would have to obtain funding from external sources. We believe that additional capital funding is available through private or public equity financing or perhaps bank financing. Success in the field will enhance our opportunities to obtaining financing, but we will probably need to obtain reserve reports and have sufficient length of production to obtain favorable financing arrangements. Furthermore, outside events such as the price of oil, the condition of the stock market, and interest rate levels could affect our ability to obtain financing. Our ability to obtain financing may also be affected by antidilution provisions contained in the warrants we have issued, as described in detail under “Risk Factors.” At this time, we have no financing arrangements in place.

Comparison of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006.

Revenues . Revenues for the twelve months ended December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 were $1,100 and $0 respectively. These amounts relate primarily to successful drilling and completion of our Amberjack prospect that began production on December 29, 2007.

Impairment of oil and gas properties . During 2007, we expensed approximately $2,702,100 relating to charges associated with unsuccessful drilling operations at our East OMG and W. Rosedale prospects along with a charge relating to an impairment of our Pembina Nisku Reef prospect.

Investor awareness/public relations expense . Investor/public relations expenses for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 increased $1,672,500 to approximately $1,672,500 from $0 for the same period in 2006. The increase was primarily attributable to investor/public awareness campaigns to help develop a brand name for the Company.
 
23

 
Selling, General and Administrative . Selling, general and administrative expenses for the twelve months ended December 31, 2007 increased $2,046,900 (or 269%) to approximately $2,809,000 from approximately $762,100 for the same period in 2006. Approximately $1,377,400 of the increase was attributable to increased stock based compensation expense for 2007 relating to option awards, stock grants and stock given to our advisory board members. The remainder of the increase was due to wages, travel and other acquisition costs associated with changing the direction of the Company to pursue oil and gas prospects. Additionally,
 
Other expenses . Loss from other expenses for the twelve months ended December 31, 2007 increased $6,828,600 to $6,828,600 from $0 for the same period in 2006. The increase was attributable to accounting charges associated with the valuation of the debentures and warrants that were issued during 2007. Additionally, the increase was related to the increased debt of the company and the interest charges associated with that debt.
 
Discontinued Operations . Loss from discontinued operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2007 increased $22,900 to $33,600 from $10,700 for the same period in 2006. The increase was attributable to costs associated with winding down the operations of the tanning business. As of December 31, 2007, there were no further operations of the discontinued operations.
 
Net Loss. Net loss for 2007 was approximately $14,044,900 compared to $772,800 for 2006. The increase in our net loss was due to the reasons described herein above.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Net cash used by operating activities totaled approximately $2,653,800 during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, compared to net cash used of approximately $337,900 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. The increase in cash used in operating activities is a result of additional losses incurred with changing the direction of the company to pursue oil and gas prospects.
 
Net cash used in discontinued operating activities totaled approximately $42,600 during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, compared to net provided by discontinued operation of approximately $61,600 for the same period in 2006.
 
Cash used in investing activities from totaled $4,855,700 and approximately $106,900 during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Capital expenditures in 2006 and 2007 were primarily comprised of acquisition and developmental expenditures relating to our oil and gas prospects. We have no material commitments for capital expenditures.

Net cash provided by financing activities totaled approximately $7,328,600 and $834,100 during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. During 2006, financing activities consisted of proceeds from the sale of our common stock, promissory notes and proceeds from the issuance of debentures.
 
At December 31, 2007 we had cash balances in the amount of approximately $235,000. Our principal source of funds has been cash generated from financing activities.

We have been unable to generate significant liquidity or cash flow from our current operations. We anticipate that cash flows from operations will be insufficient to fund our business operations for the full year 2008 and that we must continue attempting to raise additional capital to fund our operations and implement our business plan.
 
Variables and Trends
 
We have no operating history with respect to our acquisition and development of oil and gas properties. In the event we are able to obtain the necessary financing to move forward with our business plan, we expect our expenses to increase significantly as we grow our business. Accordingly, the comparison of the financial data for the periods presented may not be a meaningful indicator of our future performance and must be considered in light these circumstances.

Critical Accounting Policies
 
We prepare our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. As such, we are required to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that we believe are reasonable based upon the information available to us. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. The significant accounting policies that we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results include the following:  
 
Revenue recognition .  Our revenue recognition policy is significant because revenue is anticipated to be a key component of our results of operations and our forward-looking statements contained in our analyses of liquidity and capital resources.  We derive our revenue primarily from the sale of produced natural gas and crude oil.  We report revenue as the gross amounts we receive before taking into account production taxes and transportation costs, which are reported as separate expenses.  Revenue is recorded in the month our production is delivered to the purchaser, but payment is generally received between 30 and 90 days after the date of production.  No revenue is recognized unless it is determined that title to the product has transferred to a purchaser.  At the end of each month we make estimates of the amount of production delivered to the purchaser and the price we will receive.  We use our knowledge of our properties, their historical performance, NYMEX and local spot market prices, and other factors as the basis for these estimates.  Variances between our estimates and the actual amounts received are recorded in the month payment is received. 

Accounts Receivable.   We have receivables for sales of oil, gas and natural gas liquids. Management has established an allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance is evaluated by management and is based on management’s periodic review of the collectibility of the receivables in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the receivables, and other subjective factors.

Stock-Based Compensation . During the first quarter of 2006, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123R, "Share-Based Payment" using the modified prospective method of transition. Under SFAS No. 123R, the estimated fair value of stock options or restricted stock granted under our Stock Option Plan is recognized as expense. The estimated fair value of stock options is expensed on a straight-line basis over the expected service period of the option.

The estimated fair value of each option grant is determined on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Black-Scholes model is dependent upon key inputs estimated by management, including the expected term of an option and the expected volatility of our common stock price over the expected term. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield on zero-coupon U.S. treasury securities at the time of grant for a period commensurate with the expected term. The expected volatility is calculated based on the historic monthly closing prices for a period commensurate with the expected term, which is the same method used both prior and subsequent to the adoption of SFAS 123R. Changes in the subjective assumptions could materially affect the estimated fair value of an option and consequently the amount of stock option expense recognized in the Company's results of operations.

Full Cost Method. The Company utilizes the full-cost method of accounting for petroleum and natural gas properties. Under this method, the Company capitalizes all costs associated with acquisition, exploration and development of oil and natural gas reserves, including leasehold acquisition costs, geological and geophysical expenditures, lease rentals on undeveloped properties and costs of drilling of productive and non-productive wells into the full cost pool. As of December 31, 2007, the Company had no properties with proven reserves. When the Company obtains proven oil and gas reserves, capitalized costs, including estimated future costs to develop the reserves proved and estimated abandonment costs, net of salvage, will be depleted on the units-of-production method using estimates of proved reserves. The costs of unproved properties are not amortized until it is determined whether or not proved reserves can be assigned to the properties. Until such determination is made, the Company assesses quarterly whether impairment has occurred, and includes in the amortization base drilling exploratory dry holes associated with unproved properties.
 
25


Derivative Liabilities . We record derivatives at their fair values on the date that they meet the requirements of a derivative instrument and at each subsequent balance sheet date. Any change in fair value will be recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense at each reporting date.
 
Use of Estimates . The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires us 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. We regularly evaluate estimates and assumptions related to useful life and recoverability of long-lived assets, asset retirement obligations, stock-based compensation and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. We base our estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by us may differ materially and adversely from our estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

Net operating loss carryforwards. We have not recognized the benefit in our financial statements with respect to the approximately $9,014,000 net operating loss carryforward for federal income tax purposes as of December 31, 2007. This benefit was not recognized due to the possibility that the net operating loss carryforward would not be utilized, for various reasons; including the potential that we might not have sufficient profits to use the carryforward or that the carryforward may be limited as a result of changes in our equity ownership. We intend to use this carryforward to offset our future taxable income. If we were to use any of this net operating loss carryforward to reduce our future taxable income and the Internal Revenue Service were to then successfully assert that our carryforward is subject to limitation as a result of capital transactions occurring in 2007 or otherwise, we may be liable for back taxes, interest and, possibly, penalties prospectively. The Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows were not impacted by the adoption of FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertain Tax Positions.”

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" (“SFAS No. 157”), which establishes a formal framework for measuring fair value under GAAP. SFAS No. 157 defines and codifies the many definitions of fair value included among various other authoritative literature, clarifies and, in some instances, expands on the guidance for implementing fair value measurements, and increases the level of disclosure required for fair value measurements.
 
Although SFAS No. 157 applies to and amends the provisions of existing FASB and AICPA pronouncements, it does not, of itself, require any new fair value measurements, nor does it establish valuation standards. SFAS No. 157 applies to all other accounting pronouncements requiring or permitting fair value measurements, except for: SFAS No. 123(R), share-based payment and related pronouncements, the practicability exceptions to fair value determinations allowed by various other authoritative pronouncements, and AICPA Statements of Position 97-2 and 98-9 that deal with software revenue recognition. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We do not expect that SFAS 157 will have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or liquidity.
 
In February 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“FAS 159”).   FAS 159, which becomes effective for the company on January 1, 2008, permits companies to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value and report unrealized gains and losses in earnings. Such accounting is optional and is generally to be applied instrument by instrument. The company does not anticipate that election, if any, of this fair-value option will have a material effect on its (consolidated) financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.

In December 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 141 (R), “Business Combinations” (FAS 141(R)), which establishes accounting principles and disclosure requirements for all transactions in which a company obtains control over another business. Statement 141 (R) applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. We do not expect that SFAS 141 (R) will have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or liquidity.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51”. SFAS No. 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards that require that the ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent be clearly identified, labeled, and presented in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity, but separate from the parent’s equity; the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statement of income; and changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest in its subsidiary be accounted for consistently. SFAS No. 160 also requires that any retained noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary be initially measured at fair value when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. SFAS No. 160 also sets forth the disclosure requirements to identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. SFAS No. 160 applies to all entities that prepare consolidated financial statements, except not-for-profit organizations, but will affect only those entities that have an outstanding noncontrolling interest in one or more subsidiaries or that deconsolidate a subsidiary. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. SFAS No. 160 must be applied prospectively as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which it is initially applied, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements. The presentation and disclosure requirements are applied retrospectively for all periods presented. We do not expect that SFAS 160 will have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or liquidity.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”. SFAS 161 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. SFAS 161 achieves these improvements by requiring disclosure of the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses in a tabular format. It also provides more information about an entity’s liquidity by requiring disclosure of derivative features that are credit risk-related. Finally, it requires cross-referencing within footnotes to enable financial statement users to locate important information about derivative instruments. SFAS 161 will be effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, will be adopted by the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2009. The Company does not expect there to be any significant impact of adopting SFAS 161 on its financial position, cash flows and results of operations.
 
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

ITEM 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The financial statements required to be filed hereunder are set forth on pages F-1 through F-27 and are incorporated herein by this reference.

ITEM 8. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

On November 5, 2007, Universal Energy Corp. (the "Company") was notified by Tedder, James, Worden & Associates, P.A. in a letter dated October 31, 2007, that they had been recently acquired and therefore would be resigning as the independent registered auditor for the Company. Cross, Fernandez, Riley, LLP was appointed as the Company's new auditor on November 26, 2007. The audit reports of Tedder, James, Worden & Associates, P.A. on the consolidated financial statements of Universal Energy Corp. and subsidiary as of and for the years ended December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles; however, the report contained a modification paragraph that expressed substantial doubt about Universal Energy Corp.'s ability to continue as a going concern.

Other than this change, there were no other changes in or disagreements with our accountants on accounting and financial disclosure during the last two fiscal years.

ITEM 8A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file pursuant to the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Principal Accounting Officer ("PAO") as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide a reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and in reaching a reasonable level of assurance, management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Management designed the disclosure controls and procedures to provide reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.
 
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our CEO and PAO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report. As a result of the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting discussed below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2007.
 
We believe our financial statements fairly present, in all material respects, the financial position results of operations and cash flows for the interim and annual periods presented in our annual report on Form 10-KSB and quarterly reports on Form 10-QSB. The unqualified opinion of our independent registered public accounting firm on our financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2007 is included in this Form 10-KSB.
 
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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Internal control over financial reporting refers to the process designed by, or under the supervision of, our CEO and PAO, and effected by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and includes those policies and procedures that:
 
 

 
 
(1)  
pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;
(2)  
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with the authorization of our management and directors; and
(3)  
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
 
Based on our assessment, and because of the material weakness described below, management has concluded that internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007 was not effective based on the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework.
 
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
 
Reporting of the Valuation of Derivative Instruments         
As of December 31, 2007, we have determined that a material weakness in our internal control over the reporting of the valuation of our September and November debentures existed during the third and fourth quarter of 2007. A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. The control deficiency resulted from the lack of effective detective and monitoring controls within internal control over financial reporting over these accounts.  In addition, as previously disclosed, the Company only has two employees and therefore, an adequate segregation of duties is difficult.  Solely as a result of this material weakness, we concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2007.
 
Management's Remediation Effort Remediation of Valuation of Derivative Instruments  
We have taken and will take the following actions to enhance our internal controls: retain additional specialized staff in the preparation of annual and interim financial statements and implement a system of segregation of duties in the processing of transactions within the recording cycle.
 
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Except as noted above, there have been no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act) during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Granted under the terms of our 2006 Non-Statutory Stock Option Plan. The amounts in this column represent the dollar amounts recognized for financial statement reporting purposes in fiscal 2007 with respect to option grants made in 2006, in accordance with SFAS 123R.
 
(3)
We used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of all 2006 option grants.
 
(4)
Mr. Tattersall’s employment contract was terminated on December 14, 2007. Pursuant to the contract, Mr. Tattersall was paid a $5,000 severance.

Messrs. Watford and Raley were granted stock options on September 14, 2006 and September 15, 2006, respectively, which vest and therefore become exercisable on a pro rata basis monthly over three years from the date of grant, commencing on their date of hire. We valued the stock grant based on the following assumptions:

Dividend Yield (per share)
 
$
0.00
 
Volatility (%)
   
71.3
%
Risk-free Interest Rate (%)
   
4.625
%
Expected Life
   
3.0 years
 
Forfeiture Rate
   
15
%

Accordingly, the weighted average fair value per option at the grant date was $0.39.

Mr. Tattersall was granted a stock award as part of his employment agreement on October 6, 2006. The restricted shares vest pro rata basis monthly over three years from the date of grant, commencing on their date of hire. We valued the stock grant based on the closing price of our stock on the date of hire.

Accordingly, the fair value per share was $0.66.

Directors Compensation
 
Currently there is no compensation package for our board. While we expect to create a compensation package for our board members during the next 12 months, we do not currently have any preliminary agreements or understandings with respect to such compensation packages.
 
The terms of each of the directors expires at the next annual meeting of the stockholders, the date for which has not been set by the Board of Directors. The officers serve at the pleasure of the Board of Directors.

All directors hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors have been duly elected and qualified. Directors will be elected at the annual meetings to serve for one-year terms. The Company does not know of any agreements with respect to the election of directors. The Company has not compensated its directors for service on the Board of Directors of Universal or any of its subsidiaries or any committee thereof. Any non-employee director of Universal or its subsidiaries is reimbursed for expenses incurred for attendance at meetings of the Board of Directors and any committee of the Board of Directors, although no such committee has been established. Each executive officer of Universal is appointed by and serves at the discretion of the Board of Directors.

None of the officers or directors of Universal is currently an officer or director of a company required to file reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission, other than Universal.

ITEM 12.   CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

On October 4, 2007, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note in the amount of $200,000 to Billy Raley, the Company’s CEO and Director. Interest accrues on the outstanding principal balance from and after October 4, 2007 at a rate of 11 percent per annum. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year, and shall be charged on the principal outstanding from time to time for the actual number of days elapsed. The Company shall pay the Holder all accrued interest and the outstanding principal on the maturity date. The maturity date of the note was April 4, 2008. The note was not paid at maturity and is therefore in default.

On October 4, 2007, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note in the amount of $150,000 to Dyron M. Watford, the Company’s CFO and Chairman.

Report of Independent Registered Certified Public Accounting Firm
 
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
UNIVERSAL ENERGY CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES:
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of UNIVERSAL ENERGY CORP. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficiency, and cash flows for the year then ended. 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 audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require 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 provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of UNIVERSAL ENERGY CORP. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then period ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred net losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception. These factors, and the need for additional financing in order for the Company to meet its business plans, raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

UNIVERSAL ENERGY CORP.
AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
 
December 31, 2007

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

Reporting Entity. Universal Energy Corp. and Subsidiaries (“Universal” or the “Company”) were incorporated in the State of Delaware on January 4, 2002, January 24, 2002 and February 26, 2007, respectively. The Company is authorized to issue 250,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001. The Company’s office is located in Lake Mary, Florida. Universal Energy Corp. is an independent energy company engaged in the acquisition and development of crude oil and natural gas leases in the United States and Canada. 

Principles of Consolidation. The Company’s consolidated financial statements for the periods ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, include the accounts of its wholly owned subsidiaries UT Holdings, Inc. and Universal Explorations Corp., both Delaware corporations. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Discontinued Operations. Due to our inability to expand our tanning operations, on May 21, 2006, the Board of Directors approved changing the business direction from operating our single tanning salon to fully pursuing plans to acquire and develop oil and natural gas properties. The Company sold the assets of its tanning business in February 2007 for $7,600. The results of operations from the tanning salon are included in discontinued operations on the consolidated statements of operations.

Name Change. On May 21, 2006 a majority of the stockholders approved changing the name of the Company from “Universal Tanning Ventures, Inc.” to “Universal Energy Corp.” and increasing the number of shares of our capital stock we are authorized to issue to 250,000,000 shares, of which all 250,000,000 shares will be Common Stock.

Stock-Split. On February 20, 2007, the Company declared a two and one-half-for-one stock split in the form of a stock dividend, payable March 14, 2007 to stockholders of record as of March 13, 2007. The Company retained the current par value of $0.0001 for all shares of common stock. Stockholders’ equity has been restated to give retroactive recognition to the stock split in prior periods by reclassifying from additional paid-in-capital to common stock the par value of the 11,347,500 shares arising from the split. Except where and as otherwise stated to the contrary in this annual report, all share and prices per share have been adjusted to give retroactive effect to the change in the price per share of the common stock resulting from the two and one-half-for-one forward split of the common stock that took effect on March 14, 2007.

NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has experienced net losses since January 4, 2002 (date of inception), which losses have caused an accumulated deficit of approximately $15,418,500 as of December 31, 2007. In addition, the Company has consumed cash in its continuing operating activities of approximately $2,653,800 and $337,900 for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Management has been able, thus far, to finance the losses, as well as the growth of the business, mostly through private placements of our common stock and debt offerings. The Company is continuing to seek other sources of financing and attempting to increase production of their prospects that have been drilled and completed. Conversely, the ongoing development of our petroleum and natural gas prospects in Louisiana and Texas will likely result in operating losses for the foreseeable future.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION, CONTINUED

There are no assurances that the Company will be successful in achieving its goals. In view of these conditions, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain additional financing or capital sources, to meet its financing requirements, and ultimately to achieve profitable operations. Management believes that its current and future plans provide an opportunity to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue as a going concern.

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Revenue Recognition . The Company derives revenue primarily from the sale of produced natural gas and crude oil.  The Company reports revenue as the gross amount received before taking into account production taxes and transportation costs, which are reported as separate expenses.  Revenue is recorded in the month the Company’s production is delivered to the purchaser, but payment is generally received between 30 and 90 days after the date of production.  No revenue is recognized unless it is determined that title to the product has transferred to a purchaser.  At the end of each month, the Company estimates the amount of production delivered to the purchaser and the price the Company will receive.  The Company uses its knowledge of its properties, their historical performance, the anticipated effect of weather conditions during the month of production, New York Mercantile Exchange (“NYMEX”) and local spot market prices, and other factors as the basis for these estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents. The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.

Concentration of Credit Risk. Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with high credit quality financial institutions.

Accounts Receivable.   We have receivables for sales of oil, gas and natural gas liquids. Management has established an allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance is evaluated by management and is based on management’s periodic review of the collectibility of the receivables in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the receivables, and other subjective factors.

Debt Issue Costs . In accordance with the Accounting Principles Board Opinion 21 “Interest on Receivables and Payables”, the Company recognizes debt issue costs on the balance sheet as deferred charges, and amortizes the balance over the term of the related debt. The Company follows the guidance in the EITF 95-13 “Classification of Debt Issue Costs in the Statement of Cash Flows” and classifies cash payments for debt issue costs as a financing activity.

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED

Income Taxes. The Company accounts for income taxes utilizing the asset and liability method. This approach requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enacted date. The Company has net operating loss carryforwards that may be offset against future taxable income. Due to the uncertainty regarding the success of future operations, management has valued the deferred tax asset allowance at 100% of the related deferred tax assets. T he Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows were not impacted by the adoption of FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertain Tax Positions.” The Company has not recognized a liability as a result of the implementation of FIN 48. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits has not been provided since there is no unrecognized benefit as of the date of adoption. The Company has not recognized interest expense or penalty as a result of the implementation of FIN 48.

Loss per Share. The Company utilizes Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 128, “Earnings Per Share.” Statement No. 128 requires the presentation of basic and diluted loss per share on the face of the statement of operations. Basic loss per share has been calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The Company's common stock warrants, options and shares underlying certain debt instruments have been excluded from the diluted loss per share computation since their effect is anti-dilutive.

Full Cost Method. The Company utilizes the full-cost method of accounting for petroleum and natural gas properties. Under this method, the Company capitalizes all costs associated with acquisition, exploration and development of oil and natural gas reserves, including leasehold acquisition costs, geological and geophysical expenditures, lease rentals on undeveloped properties, interest and costs of drilling of productive and non-productive wells into the full cost pool. When the Company obtains proven oil and gas reserves, capitalized costs, including estimated future costs to develop the reserves proved and estimated abandonment costs, net of salvage, will be depleted on the units-of-production method using estimates of proved reserves. The costs of unproved properties are not amortized until it is determined whether or not proved reserves can be assigned to the properties. Until such determination is made, the Company assesses quarterly whether impairment has occurred, and includes in the amortization base drilling exploratory dry holes associated with unproved properties.

All items classified as unproved property are assessed on a quarterly basis for possible impairment or reduction in value. Properties are assessed on an individual basis or as a group if properties are individually insignificant. The assessment includes consideration of the following factors, among others: intent to drill; remaining lease term; geological and geophysical evaluations; drilling results and activity; the assignment of proved reserves; and the economic viability of development if proved reserves are assigned. During any period in which these factors indicate an impairment, the cumulative drilling costs incurred to date for such property and all or a portion of the associated leasehold costs are transferred to the full cost pool and are then subject to amortization.

Stock Based Compensation.   Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment,” which requires the Company to record as an expense in its financial statements the fair value of all stock-based compensation awards. The Company currently utilizes a standard option pricing model (i.e., Black-Scholes) to measure the fair value of stock options granted to employees using the “modified prospective” method. Under the “modified prospective” method, compensation cost is recognized in the financial statements beginning with the effective date, based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123(R) for all share-based payments granted after that date, and based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123(R) for all unvested awards granted prior to the effective date of SFAS No. 123(R).

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED

Use of Estimates.    The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The carrying amount of accounts payable, accrued expenses and debt approximates fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments.

Valuation of Derivative Instruments . FAS 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" requires bifurcation of embedded derivative instruments and measurement of fair value for accounting purposes. In determining the appropriate fair value, the Company used a Black Scholes model. Derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each period end, with any increase or decrease in the fair value being recorded in results of operations as Change in Fair Value of Derivatives. The effects of interactions between embedded derivatives are calculated and accounted for in arriving at the overall fair value of the financial instruments. In addition, the fair values of freestanding derivative instruments such as warrant derivatives are valued using Black Scholes models.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" (“SFAS No. 157”), which establishes a formal framework for measuring fair value under GAAP. SFAS No. 157 defines and codifies the many definitions of fair value included among various other authoritative literature, clarifies and, in some instances, expands on the guidance for implementing fair value measurements, and increases the level of disclosure required for fair value measurements.
 
Although SFAS No. 157 applies to and amends the provisions of existing FASB and AICPA pronouncements, it does not, of itself, require any new fair value measurements, nor does it establish valuation standards. SFAS No. 157 applies to all other accounting pronouncements requiring or permitting fair value measurements, except for: SFAS No. 123(R), share-based payment and related pronouncements, the practicability exceptions to fair value determinations allowed by various other authoritative pronouncements, and AICPA Statements of Position 97-2 and 98-9 that deal with software revenue recognition. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We do not expect that SFAS 157 will have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or liquidity.
 
In February 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“FAS 159”).   FAS 159, which becomes effective for the company on January 1, 2008, permits companies to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value and report unrealized gains and losses in earnings. Such accounting is optional and is generally to be applied instrument by instrument. The company does not anticipate that election, if any, of this fair-value option will have a material effect on its (consolidated) financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.

In December 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 141 (R), “Business Combinations” (FAS 141(R)), which establishes accounting principles and disclosure requirements for all transactions in which a company obtains control over another business. Statement 141 (R) applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. We do not expect that SFAS 141 (R) will have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or liquidity.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51”. SFAS No. 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards that require that the ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent be clearly identified, labeled, and presented in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity, but separate from the parent’s equity; the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statement of income; and changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest in its subsidiary be accounted for consistently. SFAS No. 160 also requires that any retained noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary be initially measured at fair value when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. SFAS No. 160 also sets forth the disclosure requirements to identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. SFAS No. 160 applies to all entities that prepare consolidated financial statements, except not-for-profit organizations, but will affect only those entities that have an outstanding noncontrolling interest in one or more subsidiaries or that deconsolidate a subsidiary. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. SFAS No. 160 must be applied prospectively as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which it is initially applied, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements. The presentation and disclosure requirements are applied retrospectively for all periods presented. We do not expect that SFAS 160 will have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or liquidity.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”. SFAS 161 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. SFAS 161 achieves these improvements by requiring disclosure of the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses in a tabular format. It also provides more information about an entity’s liquidity by requiring disclosure of derivative features that are credit risk-related. Finally, it requires cross-referencing within footnotes to enable financial statement users to locate important information about derivative instruments. SFAS 161 will be effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, will be adopted by the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2009. The Company does not expect there to be any significant impact of adopting SFAS 161 on its financial position, cash flows and results of operations.

Under full cost accounting, total capitalized costs of natural gas and oil properties (net of accumulated depreciation, depletion and amortization) less related deferred income taxes may not exceed an amount equal to the present value of future net revenues from proved reserves, discounted at 10% per annum, plus the lower of cost or fair value of unevaluated properties, plus estimated salvage value, less income tax effects (the “ceiling limitation”). A ceiling limitation calculation is performed at the end of each quarter. If total capitalized costs (net of accumulated depreciation, depletion and amortization) less related deferred taxes are greater than the ceiling limitation, a write-down or impairment of the full cost pool is required. A write-down of the carrying value of the full cost pool is a non-cash charge that reduces earnings and impacts stockholders’ deficiency in the period of occurrence and typically results in lower depreciation, depletion and amortization expense in future periods. Once incurred, a write-down is not reversible at a later date.

At December 31, 2007, all of the Company’s oil and gas properties are unproven and are located in Alberta, Canada, Louisiana and Texas. In accordance with SFAS 143, asset retirement obligations associated with producing wells will be accrued over the life of the well. Such costs related to impaired properties have been expensed in 2007.

NOTE 6 – ADVANCES FROM STOCKHOLDER

Dyron Watford, a CFO, Chairman and Director of the Company, advanced $11,880 to the Company for purposes of meeting general and administrative expenses during the year ended December 31, 2006. During 2006, the Company repaid $34,880 of these and prior advances from Mr. Watford. The advances bore no interest and were payable upon demand. As of December 31, 2007, no amounts are due to Mr. Watford.

NOTE 7 – PROMISSORY NOTES

Promissory Note with Stockholder - $250,000 . On June 12, 2007, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note in the amount of $250,000 to a stockholder. Interest accrues on the outstanding principal balance from and after June 12, 2007 at a rate of 11 percent per annum. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year, and shall be charged on the principal outstanding from time to time for the actual number of days elapsed. The Company shall pay the Holder all accrued interest and the outstanding principal on the maturity date. The maturity date of the note is December 12, 2007. The note was not paid on maturity and is therefore in default.

NOTE 7 – PROMISSORY NOTES, CONTINUED

Promissory Notes - $750,000 . On or about June 12, 2007, the Company issued unsecured promissory notes in the amount of $750,000 to certain investors. Interest accrues on the outstanding principal balance from and after June 12, 2007 at a rate of 11 percent per annum. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year, and shall be charged on the principal outstanding from time to time for the actual number of days elapsed. The Company shall pay the Holder all accrued interest and the outstanding principal on the maturity date. The maturity date of the note is December 12, 2007. The note was not paid on maturity and is therefore in default.

Contemporaneous with the issuance of the promissory notes, a total of 750,000 warrants were issued at an exercise price of $1.25. The warrants vest immediately and have a 5 year term from the date of the promissory note. If at any time after one year from the Initial Exercise Date there is no effective registration statement (“Registration Statement”) registering, or no current prospectus available for, the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder, then this Warrant may also be exercised at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a certificate for the number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where (A) = the Volume Weighted Average Price (“VWAP”) on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of such election; (B) = the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted; and (X) = the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.

The fair value of the warrants issued was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 5.13%; no dividend yields; volatility factors of the expected market price of our common stock of 23.12%; an estimated forfeiture rate of 15%; and an expected life of the warrants of 5 years. This generates a price of $0.39 per warrant based on a strike price of $1.25 at the date of grant, which was June 12, 2007. As a result, approximately $187,500 of discount on promissory notes and additional paid-in capital was recorded during the twelve month period ended December 31, 2007 relating to the issuance of the warrants.

Promissory Note - $200,000 . On October 4, 2007, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note in the amount of $200,000 to Billy Raley, the Company’s CEO and Director. Interest accrues on the outstanding principal balance from and after October 4, 2007 at a rate of 11 percent per annum. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year, and shall be charged on the principal outstanding from time to time for the actual number of days elapsed. The Company shall pay the Holder all accrued interest and the outstanding principal on the maturity date. The maturity date of the note is April 4, 2008. The note was not paid on maturity and is therefore in default.

Promissory Note - $150,000. On October 4, 2007, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note in the amount of $150,000 to Dyron M. Watford, the Company’s CFO and Chairman. Interest accrues on the outstanding principal balance from and after October 4, 2007 at a rate of 11 percent per annum. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year, and shall be charged on the principal outstanding from time to time for the actual number of days elapsed. The Company shall pay the Holder all accrued interest and the outstanding principal on the maturity date. The maturity date of the note is April 4, 2008.

NOTE 7 – PROMISSORY NOTES, CONTINUED

Contemporaneous with the issuance of the promissory notes, a total of 350,000 warrants were issued at an exercise price of $1.05. The warrants vest immediately and have a 5 year term from the date of the promissory note. If at any time after one year from the Initial Exercise Date there is no effective registration statement (“Registration Statement”) registering, or no current prospectus available for, the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder, then this Warrant may also be exercised at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a certificate for the number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where (A) = the Volume Weighted Average Price (“VWAP”) on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of such election; (B) = the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted; and (X) = the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.

The fair value of the warrants issued was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 4.75%; no dividend yields; volatility factors of the expected market price of our common stock of 105.91%; an estimated forfeiture rate of 0%; and an expected life of the warrant of 5 years. This generates a price of $0.81 per warrant based on a strike price of $1.05 at the date of grant, which was October 4, 2007. As a result, approximately $156,800 of discount on promissory notes and additional paid-in capital was recorded during the twelve month period ended December 31, 2007 relating to the issuance of promissory notes.

NOTE 8 – CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES – SEPTEMBER 2007

On or about September 13, 2007, we consummated a securities purchase agreement (the “September 2007 SPA”) in which we received aggregate proceeds of $4,000,000 reflecting a 20% original issue discount to the purchasers. Pursuant to the September 2007 SPA, we issued:

·    
An aggregate of $5,110,294 of Senior Debentures, convertible into shares of our common stock at $0.80 per share;
·    
A Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 6,387,868 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.88 per share, for a period of 5 years from the closing date of the 2007 Financing;
·    
B Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 6,387,868 units, each unit consisting of a share of our common stock and one C Warrant, at exercise price of $0.80 per unit, for a period of 1 year from the effective date of the initial registration statement of which this prospectus is part; the C Warrants permit the holders thereof to purchase one share of our common stock at a price of $0.88 per share.

The Senior Debentures are due and payable on August 31, 2009, and will begin to amortize monthly commencing on September 1, 2008. The Senior Debentures bear interest at a rate of eight percent per annum. The amortization may be effected through cash payments, or at our option subject to certain conditions, through the issuance of shares of our common stock, based on a price per share equal to 80% of the lowest three (3) closing bid prices of the common stock over the 20 trading days immediately preceding the date of such payment.

Until the maturity date of the Senior Debentures, the purchasers have the right to convert the Senior Debentures, in whole or in part, into shares of our common stock at a price $0.80, which was subsequently adjusted downward to $0.50. The conversion price may be adjusted downward under circumstances set forth in the Senior Debentures. If so adjusted, the aggregate number of shares issuable, upon conversion in full, will increase.

NOTE 8 – CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES – SEPTEMBER 2007, CONTINUED

The Senior Debentures include customary default provisions and an event of default includes, among other things, a change of control, the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, the failure to file and have a registration statement declared effective on or before the deadlines set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement, or the lapse of the effectiveness of registration statements for more than 20 consecutive trading days or 30 non-consecutive days during any 12-month period (with certain exceptions) which results in such indebtedness being accelerated. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, each Debenture may become immediately due and payable, either automatically or by declaration of the holder of such Debenture. The aggregate amount payable upon an acceleration by reason of an event of default shall be equal to the greater of 125% of the principal amount of the Senior Debentures to be prepaid or the principal amount of the Senior Debentures to be prepaid, divided by the conversion price on the date specified in the Debenture, multiplied by the closing price on the date set forth in the Debenture. Since a registration statement was not filed timely, the debentures are in technical default and have therefore been recorded as a current liability.

The purchasers also received A Warrants to purchase 6,387,868 (subsequently adjusted to 11,242,647) additional shares of common stock at a price of $0.88 per share (subsequently adjusted to $0.50) exercisable for five (5) years. The investors also received B Warrants to purchase 6,387,868 (subsequently adjusted to 10,220,588) additional shares of common stock at a price of $0.80 (subsequently adjusted to $0.50) per share exercisable for one year after the registration statement is declared effective. The investors will also receive a C Warrant with the exercise of the B Warrant that will allow the investors to purchase 6,387,868 (subsequently adjusted to 11,242,647) additional shares of common stock at a price of $0.88 per share (subsequently adjusted to $0.50) exercisable for a period of five (5) years. The exercise price of the warrants may be adjusted downward under the circumstances set forth in the warrants. All warrants vest immediately upon issuance. If so adjusted, the aggregate number of shares issuable, upon exercise in full, will be increased so that the total aggregate cash exercise price remains constant. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the holder of the warrant can demand payment for their warrants at fair value.

The debenture agreements also have certain milestones that the Company has agreed to that if not met, results in the repricing of the conversion rate and warrant exercise price. One such milestone was a revenue target to be achieved by March 31, 2008. This milestone was not met. However, the conversion rates and exercise prices had been previously adjusted due to a subsequent rights offering in conjunction with a financing transaction to a price below the market value of the common stock at March 31, 2008.

Our obligations to the Holders in the September 2007 Financing are secured by a senior security interest and lien granted upon all of our assets pursuant to the terms of a Security Agreement entered into in connection with the closing.   The Senior Debentures and the September 2007 Warrants contain anti-dilution provisions.

In connection with this transaction, each purchaser has contractually agreed to restrict its ability to convert the Senior Debentures, exercise the warrants and additional investment rights and receive shares of our common stock such that the number of shares of our common stock held by them and their affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed 4.99% of the number of shares of our common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion or exercise.

The fair values of the debentures and related derivative instruments were valued as of September 13, 2007, the date of issuance using the Black-Scholes model, resulting in an initial fair value of approximately $8,621,400. The effects of interactions between embedded derivatives are calculated and accounted for in arriving at the overall fair value of the financial instruments. The excess of the fair value over the transaction price of the Debentures was recorded through the results of operations as a debit of approximately $4,621,400 to Charges Related to Issuance of September 2007 Convertible Debentures and Warrants.
 
The 2007 Convertible Debentures and related derivatives outstanding at December 31, 2007 were again valued at fair value using a combination of Binomial and Black Scholes models, resulting in a decrease in the fair value of the liability of approximately $1,349,400, which was recorded through the results of operations as a debit to adjustments to fair value of derivatives.
 
In connection with this financing, we paid cash fees to a broker-dealer of $120,000 and issued a warrant to purchase 280,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.88 per share. The initial fair value of the warrant was estimated at approximately $147,900 using the Black Scholes pricing model. The assumptions used in the Black Scholes model are as follows: (1) dividend yield of 0%, (2) expected volatility of 64.45%, (3) risk-free interest rate of 5.09%, and (4) expected life of 2 years. Cash fees paid, and the initial fair value of the warrant, have been capitalized as debt issuance costs and are being amortized over 24 months using the effective interest rate method.

NOTE 9 – CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES – NOVEMBER 2007

On or about November 29, 2007 we consummated a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “November SPA”) in which we received aggregate proceeds of $1,350,000 reflecting a 20% original issue discount to the purchasers. Pursuant to the November SPA, we issued:

 
·
An aggregate of $1,742,647 of Junior Debentures convertible into shares of our common stock at $0.80 per share;
 
·
D Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 2,178,309 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.88 per share, for a period of 5 years from the closing date of the November 2007 Financing;
 
·
E Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 2,178,309 units, each unit consisting of a share of our common stock and one F Warrant, at exercise price of $0.80 per unit, for a period of 1 year from the effective date of the initial registration statement of which this prospectus is part; the F Warrants permit the holders thereof to purchase one share of our common stock at a price of $0.88 per share.
 
·
G Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 2,178,309 shares at $1.00 per share for a period of five years from the closing date of the November 2007 financing.

The outstanding principal balances of the Junior Debentures are due and payable on October 31, 2009, and will begin to amortize monthly commencing on November 1, 2008. The Junior Debentures bear interest at a rate of 8 percent per annum. The amortization may be effected through cash payments, or at our option subject to certain conditions, through the issuance of shares of our common stock, based on a price per share equal to 80% of the lowest three (3) closing bid prices of the common stock over the 20 trading days immediately preceding the date of such payment.

Until the maturity date of the Junior Debentures, the purchasers have the right to convert the Junior Debentures, in whole or in part, into shares of our common stock at a price $0.80 (subsequently adjusted to $0.50), or 2,178,309 (subsequently adjusted to 3,485,294) shares in the aggregate. The conversion price may be adjusted downward under circumstances set forth in the Junior Debentures. If so adjusted, the aggregate number of shares issuable, upon conversion in full, will increase.

The Junior Debentures include customary default provisions and an event of default includes, among other things, a change of control, the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, the failure to file and have a registration statement declared effective on or before the deadlines set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement, or the lapse of the effectiveness of registration statements for more than 20 consecutive trading days or 30 non-consecutive days during any 12-month period (with certain exceptions) which results in such indebtedness being accelerated. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, each Debenture may become immediately due and payable, either automatically or by declaration of the holder of such Debenture. The aggregate amount payable upon an acceleration by reason of an event of default shall be equal to the greater of 125% of the principal amount of the Junior Debentures to be prepaid or the principal amount of the Junior Debentures to be prepaid, divided by the conversion price on the date specified in the Debenture, multiplied by the closing price on the date set forth in the Debenture. Since a registration statement was not filed timely, the debentures are in technical default and have therefore been recorded as a current liability.

NOTE 10 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

As described more fully in Notes 8 - Convertible Debentures - September 2007 and Note 9 – Convertible Debentures – November 2007, the provisions of our convertible debenture financing completed in September 2007 and November 2007, respectively, permit the Company to make its monthly redemption in shares of the Company’s common stock rather than cash upon satisfaction of certain conditions. Under the terms of the debenture agreements, the price per share is variable dependent upon the actual closing price of the Company’s common stock. Accordingly, the total number of shares to retire outstanding principal is variable and the Company can not be assured that there are adequate authorized shares to settle all contractual obligations under the debenture agreement, and other option and warrant agreements outstanding.
 
In accordance with the provisions of SFAS 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments” and EITF 00-19, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to and Potentially Settled in a Company’s Own Stock” the Company has reviewed all instruments previously recorded as permanent equity under this literature. Additionally, the November 2007 debenture offering contains derivative instruments that were recorded as liabilities.
 
The following table summarizes the components of the Adjustment to Fair Value of Derivatives which were recorded as charges to results of operations in the year ended December 31, 2007. The table summarizes by category of derivative liability the impact from market changes during the year. For these calculations, the conversion price of the debentures and the exercise price of the warrants were adjusted to $0.50 per share along with the aggregate number of shares issuable due to a subsequent financing transaction.

NOTE 11 – STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIENCY

NOTE 12 – STOCK OPTION PLAN

The 2006 Non-Statutory Stock Option Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors on September 13, 2006. Under this plan, a maximum of 37,500,000 shares of our common stock, par value $0.0001, were authorized for issue. The vesting and terms of all of the options are determined by the Board of Directors and may vary by optionee; however, the term may be no longer than 10 years from the date of grant.

In September 2006, the Company awarded 12,500,000 stock options to certain employees, officers, and directors for services rendered. Under FASB Statement No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment,” these options were valued at fair value at the date of grant. The fair value of the options issued was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 4.65%; no dividend yields; volatility factors of the expected market price of our common stock of 0.71; an estimated forfeiture rate of 15%; and an expected life of the options of 3 years. This generates a price of $0.39 per option based on a strike price of $0.78 at the date of grant, which was September 15, 2006. As a result, approximately $1,380,800 of compensation expense and additional paid-in capital was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2007 relating to the vesting of 4,166,664 options awarded. As of December 31, 2007, a total of 7,118,058 non-vested shares remained outstanding with a weighted average price of $0.78 and a grant date value of $0.39 per share. At December 31, 2007, a total of 5,381,942 vested shares remained outstanding with a weighted average price of $0.78 and a weighted average years remaining of 4.375 years. At December 31, 2007, the aggregate intrinsic value of the stock options issued and vested was $0 and $0, respectively, as the market value of the underlying stock was below the average exercise price of all options.

NOTE 14 – MATERIAL ADJUSTMENTS

During the course of the audit, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer discussed the accounting for the September debenture financing with Cross, Fernandez & Riley, LLP. As a result the Company determined that the accounting for the September debenture was incorrect and  that the effect of such misstatements was material. As a result, the Company decided it will restate its previously filed quarterly report on Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended September 30, 2007. The restatements are required to properly reflect the Company’s financial results for certain non-cash and non-operational related charges or credits to earnings associated with both embedded and freestanding derivative liabilities.

Historically, the Company recorded the fair value of the warrants and intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion features of these convertible debentures as a credit to equity with a corresponding discount to the notes payable. The Company reviewed its compliance with the SEC’s interpretation of EITF 00-19 as it relates to these convertible securities, detachable warrants and registration rights. The Company has determined that it should have recorded a derivative liability equal to the fair value of both the detachable warrants and the embedded convertible feature for certain debentures and then marked to market these derivative liabilities at the end of each quarter and fiscal period. The effect of the quarterly financial statements will be to increase the net loss by approximately $2,808,000 and increase total liabilities by $6,060,800 at September 30, 2007.

NOTE 15 - INCOME TAXES

No provision for foreign, federal or state income taxes has been recorded, as the Company incurred net operating losses for all periods presented for all jurisdictions in which it operates. The Company has U.S. federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $9,014,000 at December 31, 2007 to reduce future federal income taxes, if any. These carryforwards expire through 2027 and are subject to review and possible adjustment by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
 
The approximate tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the Company's deferred tax assets primarily relate to net operating loss carryforwards, stock based compensation and derivatives. This amounts to approximately $10,900,000 as of December 31, 2007. It is the Company's objective to become a profitable enterprise and to realize the benefits of its deferred tax assets. However, in evaluating the reliability of these deferred tax assets, management has considered the Company's short operating history, the volatility of the market in which it competes and the operating losses incurred to date, and believes that, given the significance of this evidence, a full valuation reserve against its deferred tax assets is required as of December 31, 2007.

NOTE 16 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In April 2008, the Company notified its debenture holders of a subsequent financing transaction. This convertible promissory note offering resulted in the lowering of the conversion prices of the debentures and associated warrants to $0.50. This three year note bears interest at a rate of 12 percent per annum. As of March 13, 2008, the Company has received proceeds from this offering of $600,000.
