that proceeds from the sale of such production
exceed production expenses and taxes.
Exploratory Well
A well drilled to find and produce oil
or gas reserves not classified as proved, to find a new production reservoir
in a field previously found to be productive of oil or gas in another
reservoir or to extend a known reservoir.
Farm-In
See Farm-out (following)
Farm-Out
An agreement pursuant to which the owner
of a working interest in an oil and gas lease assigns the working interest
or a portion hereof to another party who desires to drill on the leased
acreage. Generally, he assignee is required to drill one or more wells
in order to earn its interest in the acreage. The assignor usually retains
a royalty or reversionary interest in the lease. The interest received
by an assignee is a "farm- in" and the assignor issues a "farm-out."
Infill Drilling
The drilling of an additional well or
wells provided for by an existing spacing order to more adequately drain
a reservoir.
Mcfg/D
Thousand cubic feet of gas per day - the
standard unit for measuring the volume of natural gas from a well or line;
MMcf is one million cubic feet (also Mcf, Bcf (billion), Tcf (trillion)).
Operator

for the exploration, development and production of an oil or gas well
or lease.
PSI

Right of First Refusal
Royalty
An interest in an oil and gas lease that
gives the owner of the interest the right to receive a portion of the
production from the leased acreage (or of the proceeds of the sale thereof),
but generally does not require the owner to pay any portion of the costs
of drilling or operating the wells on the leased acreage. Royalties may
be either landowner's royalties, which are reserved by the owner of the
leased acreage at the time the lease is granted, or overriding royalties,
which are usually reserved by an owner of the leasehold in connection
with a transfer to a subsequent owner.
Working Interest
An interest in an oil and gas lease that
gives the owner of the interest the right to drill for and produce oil
and gas on the leased acreage and requires the owner to pay a share of
the costs of drilling and production operations. The share of production
to which a working interest owner is entitled will always be smaller than
the share of costs that the working interest owner is required to bear,
with the balance of the production accruing to the owners of royalties.

Business Development During Last Three Years
Overview
We were incorporated as Paradigm Enterprises, Inc. in the state
of Nevada on July 15, 2002 and established a year end of December 31. On
February 7, 2005 the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation through the
implementation of a 1.5:1 forward split of the Companys common stock and a name
change from Paradigm Enterprises, Inc. to Paradigm Oil And Gas, Inc. based on a
resolution of the Directors dated January 17, 2005 and a consent resolution of
the shareholders dated January 17, 2005 signed by the holders of greater than
51% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company.
From July, 2002 to December, 2004, we were in the business of
the exploration and development of a mineral property of approximately 1,236
acres in size in south-western, British Columbia. The property was without known
reserves and our program was exploratory in nature. As of September 30, 2005,
the Company had made option payments totalling $3,180 and exploration
expenditure totalling $38,442. Following the receipt of an engineering report
discussing the first phase of the planned three-phase exploration program which
recommended moving forward with phase II at a cost of $200,000, the Board of
Directors decided to abandon its interest in this mineral property and on August
26, 2005 notified the optionor of the Companys intention to terminate the
option which was confirmed by the optionor, without protest, on August 29, 2005.
We have not spent anything on research and development activities.
On December 06, 2004, we entered into two participation proposals
with Win Energy Corporation, an arms length Calgary, Alberta based private corporation
and on January 25, 2005, based on the recommendation of the Board of Directors
and the Boards Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, we finalized
the two agreements whereby we have acquired an interest in two exploratory oil
and gas drilling projects in Alberta, Canada for the payment of a total of $358,756
(which includes the return on the sale of 50% of our interest back to Win).
Paradigm paid $207,383 to Win to acquire a 10% working interest in the Hillsprings
Property (10-34-5-29W4) and paid $298,631 to Win to acquire a 10% working interest
in the Todd Creek Property; On June 18, 2005, the Company received a payment
of $147,258 from Win for the sale of 50% of the Companys 10% interest
in the Todd Creek Property and currently holds a 5% interest in the project.
The Todd Creek well has been drilled and completed and remains in the testing
stage. The operators have the well on "tight hole" status. Further news will
be released upon the tight hole status being removed by the operator which will
not likely occur until the entire field has been completed.
On February 15, 2005, Paradigm entered into a Farmout and
Option Agreement with 1132559 Alberta Ltd., a private Alberta corporation
whereby Paradigm will farm in to a 5% interest in a test well at Township 91,
Range 13 W5M, SE Section 36, and a similar interest in an additional option well
at Township 91, Range 12 W5M, NW Section 29 in the Sawn Lake, Alberta, oil and
gas project. Paradigm will also have a right of first refusal to participate in
each drilling spacing unit through a farm in on the lands held by Deep Well Oil
and Gas, Inc. in the Sawn Lake project in which 1132559 Alberta Ltd. has an
interest. The final terms of the option for the additional DSUs are yet to be
agreed upon by the parties. Paradigm will earn 100% of the farmors interest (an
undivided 10% interest in the drilling spacing unit) before payout (BPO),
reverting to 50% of the farmors interest (an undivided 5% interest) after
payout (APO). Paradigm will have then earned a 5% interest in the remaining
wells to be drilled in that drilling spacing unit. In order to earn its interest
in the initial test well, total costs of the test well, estimated to be
$173,200, up to the point of commercial oil sales are to be borne one hundred
percent (100%) by Paradigm in
order to earn its undivided interest. Total costs, estimated to
be $173,200, of the option well up to the point of commercial oil sales are also
to be borne one hundred percent (100%) by Paradigm in order to earn its
undivided interest. Subsequent to year end, the Corporation received an AFE for
the expenditure required to place a separator in the well to separate the gas
and the petroleum fluids being produced by the completed well. It will take some
months to gain any results from the separator operation.
We have not been involved in any bankruptcy, receivership or
similar proceeding nor has there been any material reclassification or merger,
consolidation or purchase or sale of a significant amount of assets not in the
ordinary course of business
Our Current Business
We were incorporated as Paradigm Enterprises, Inc. in the State
of Nevada on July 15, 2002 and established a fiscal year end of December 31. On
February 07, 2005, our name was changed to Paradigm Oil And Gas, Inc. and a
forward split of the common stock was effected on a one and one-half new shares
for one old share basis (1:1.5) . We are a start-up, exploration stage company
engaged in the search for oil and gas deposits; we have not yet generated or
realized any revenues from our business operations. Our statutory registered
agent's office is located at 251 Jeanell Drive, No. 3, Carson City, Nevada 89703
and our business office is located at Number 983, 105 -150 Crowfoot Crescent,
Calgary, Alberta Canada T3G 3T2. The telephone number of our office is (403)
816-6745.
Our office facilities are currently provided to us by Wiktor
Musial, our director and President, without charge, but such arrangement may be
cancelled at anytime without notice. As our business activities continue, we
anticipate that we will be required to pay a pro rata share of the rent incurred
for the facilities that we occupy. Specific direct expenses incurred such as
telephone and secretarial services are charged back to Paradigm at cost on a
quarterly basis.
MINERAL EXPLORATION
On October 30, 2003, Brian C. Doutaz, our then President and a
member of the board of directors, acting as trustee on our behalf, optioned a
mineral property containing one mining claim in British Columbia, Canada by
entering into an Option To Purchase And Royalty Agreement and Amendment thereof
dated October 17, 2004 with Kester E. Tomkies, the beneficial owner of the
claim, a private arms-length British Columbia individual, to acquire the claim
by making certain expenditures and carrying out certain exploration work on the
claim. A Trust Agreement and Amendment thereof between Paradigm and Mr. Doutaz
was established to avoid having to pay additional fees and establish a local
subsidiary at this early stage of our corporate development.
To date we have spent $54,132 on mineral interest acquisition
and exploration costs but have not spent anything on research and development
activities.
We engaged the services of Mr. R. T. Heard, P. Eng., author of
the initial report, to perform the phase I work on the claim. Mr. Heard is a
registered Professional Engineer in good standing in the Association of
Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of British Columbia. He is a graduate
of Haileybury School of Mines, (1958) and of the Montana College of Mineral
Science and Technology, Butte, Montana. He holds a B. Sc. in Geological
Engineering, (1971) and has practiced his profession as an Exploration Geologist
for over 40 years and as a Professional Engineer for the past 28 years.
His report on the first phase of the exploration program was
received and reviewed during the mid portion of 2005. The report recommended
that based upon the relative success of the evaluation of the work program that
additional claims be acquired adjacent to the existing claims and that further
work be carried out on the claims in 2006. The anticipated cost of the 2006
program would be approximately $200,000.
As a result of the Board of Directors mandate to continue in
the petroleum exploration industry, Paradigm decided to abandon its interest in
this mineral property and on August 26, 2005 notified the optionor of the
Companys intention to terminate the option which was confirmed by the optionor,
without protest, on August 29, 2005.
PETROLEUM EXPLORATION
On December 06, 2004, we entered into two participation
proposal agreements with Win Energy Corporation, an arms-length Calgary, Alberta
based private corporation whereby the Corporation could acquire an interest in
two oil and gas drilling projects in Alberta, Canada for the payment of a total
of $506,014 (subsequently reduced to $358,756 with the sale of half of the
interest back to Win in June, 2005). On January 25, 2005, based on the
recommendation of the Board of Directors and the Boards Nominating and
Corporate Governance Committee, the Corporation concluded final payments and
finalized the agreements.
HILLSPRINGS PROPERTY
Paradigm paid $207,383 to Win to
acquire a 5% working interest in one section (640 acres) in the Hillsprings
Property (Township 10, Range 34, Section 29 W4), Alberta, Canada;
TODD CREEK PROPERTY
Paradigm paid $298,631 to Win to
acquire a 10% working interest in 13.75 sections (8800 acres) in the Todd Creek
Property, Alberta, Canada. In June, 2005, we sold 50% of our interest back to
Win for net proceeds of $127,348; as of the date of this report, Paradigm holds
a 5% in the Todd Creek property and has paid a net cost of $127,348 to acquire
its interest.
SAWN LAKE PROJECT
On February 15, 2005 Paradigm entered
into a Farmout and Option Agreement with 1132559 Alberta Ltd., a private Alberta
corporation whereby Paradigm will farm in to a 5% interest in a test well at
Township 91, Range 13 Section 36 W5M SE , and a similar interest in an
additional option well at Township 91, Range 12, Section 29 W5M NW in the Sawn
Lake, Alberta oil and gas project. Paradigm will also have a right of first
refusal to participate in each drilling spacing unit through a farm-in on the
lands held by Deep Well Oil and Gas in the Sawn Lake project in which 1132559
Alberta Ltd has an interest. The final terms of the option for the additional
DSUs are yet to be agreed upon by both parties.
Paradigm will earn 100% of the farmors
interest (an undivided 10% interest in the drilling spacing unit) before payout
(BPO), reverting to 50% of the farmors interest (an undivided 5% interest)
after payout (APO). Paradigm will have earned a 5% interest in the remaining
wells to be drilled in that drilling spacing unit.
In order to earn its interest in the
initial test well, total costs of the test well, estimated to be CA $216,489, up
to the point of commercial oil sales are to be borne one hundred percent (100%)
by Paradigm. Total costs, estimated to be CA $216,489, of the option well up to
the point of commercial oil sales are also to be borne one hundred percent
(100%) by Paradigm in order to earn its undivided interest. Payment of the full
AFE amount is due upon invoicing of Paradigm by the operator (1132559 Alberta
Ltd.) for each of the test and option wells. Paradigm is now a full participant
in the well which is currently under testing and has commenced negotiations with
the operator as to the availability of additional DSUs and other opportunities
to participate in other wells to be drilled by the operator in the area.
