Corporate Overview
The address of our principal executive office is Suite 9595 Six Pines Drive, Suite 8210, Building 8, Level 2, The Woodlands, Texas 77380. Our telephone number is (832) 631-6061.
Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol "CYPE".
We do not have any subsidiaries.
Corporate History
We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on December 13, 2004 under the name SOM Resources Inc. On August 9, 2006, we changed our name to Century Petroleum Corp. and effected a seven (7) for one (1) forward stock split of our authorized capital and outstanding common stock. As a result, our authorized capital increased from 69,000,000 shares of common stock with a par vale of $0.001 and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.001 to 483,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 and 7,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.001.
Other than as set out herein, we have not been involved in any bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceedings, nor have we been a party to any material reclassification, merger, consolidation or purchase or sale of a significant amount of assets not in the ordinary course of our business.
Our Current Business
We are an exploration stage company. We are engaged in the acquisition and exploration of oil and gas properties with a view to exploiting any oil and gas reserves we discover.
|
- 4 - |
To date, we have only conducted initial exploration on the Hermosa Property located in Nevada. During the last quarter of the financial year ended 30 April 2007, we disposed of our 100% beneficial interest in the Hermosa Property as it no longer fits our corporate focus on petroleum exploration.
We intend to focus our efforts on our current property interests for the next twelve months.
On June 15, 2006, we acquired a 100% working interest and 75% net revenue interest in certain oil and gas properties, located in Beauregard Parish, Louisiana, from Site Drilling Force Limited (BVI). To date, we have only conducted preliminary geological and geophysical studies on the Beauregard Parish leases.
On August 10, 2006, through an Assignment Agreement with Falcon Natural Gas Corporation, we acquired most of Falcon Natural Gas right, title and interest to any future leases on a property located in DeWitt County, Texas. Falcon Natural Gas obtained its interest in the property under a Participation Agreement with Southern Resource Company, dated September 1, 2005. Pursuant to our Assignment Agreement with Falcon Natural Gas Corporation, Falcon Natural Gas reserves 2% of the working interest on the property for itself. In consideration for this assignment of interest, we agreed to pay a total of $512,750. On October 25, 2006, upon drilling the first well to target depth, it was determined by management that the working interest did not have any future value and we allowed the lease to terminate, resulting in an impairment charge of $528,756.
On November 1, 2006, we entered into an agreement whereby we have acquired from Kossic Oil & Gas LP, a 4% working interest in the Thunder Stud Prospect, located in southern Louisiana. As consideration for the acquisition, we have made a payment of $222,552 which included prospect fees and estimated property expenses. Drilling on the property began in late January 2007 and operations are being carried out by Sterling Energy plc. Target depth was reached in May 2007 and petrophysical analysis suggests that multiple pay horizons were encountered. The well is awaiting a production test to be conducted on the second half of 2007,
On February 16, 2007, we entered into a letter of intent with Houston Energy, Inc. and Red Willow Offshore, LLC. wherein we have agreed to purchase an undivided 8.92353% before casing point and 7.585% after casing point interest on the Shadyside Prospect located in St. Mary Parish, Louisiana. The final participation agreement and joint operating agreement for the prospect were signed in May 2007 and drilling operations started in July 2007. Red Willow Offshore LLC is the operator of this well.
On May 8, 2007, we entered into a letter of intent with CTC Minerals, Inc. wherein we have agreed to purchase a 10% interest in the Alligator Bayou Prospect located in Matagorda and Brazoria Counties, Texas. On July 12, 2007 we entered into a purchase and sale agreement with CTC Minerals. Under the agreement, we agreed to pay to CTC Minerals $800,000. On July 12, 2007 we paid to CTC Minerals the $800,000. We completed a purchase and sale agreement with CTC Minerals on July 12, 2007. The effective date of the conveyance of the property was May 1, 2007.
Our plan of operation is to conduct exploration work on our properties and prospects in order to ascertain whether they possess economic quantities of minerals and/or hydrocarbons in accordance with available funds. There can be no assurance that an economic mineral deposit or reserve exists on any of our prospects until appropriate exploration work is completed.
Resource exploration is typically conducted in phases. Each subsequent phase of exploration work is recommended by a geologist based on the results from the most recent phase of exploration. We have only recently commenced the initial phase of exploration on some of our prospects. Once we have completed each phase of exploration, we will make a decision as to whether or not we proceed with each successive phase based upon the analysis of the results of that program. Even if we complete our proposed exploration programs on our properties, and we are successful in identifying an oil, gas and/or mineral deposit or reserve, we will have to spend substantial funds on further drilling and engineering studies before we will know if we have a commercially viable oil, gas and/or mineral deposit or reserve.
There is no assurance that commercially viable oil, gas and/or mineral deposits or reserves exist on any of our properties; further exploration is required before we can evaluate whether any exist and, if so, whether it would be economically and legally feasible to develop or exploit those resources. Even if we complete an exploration program

and we are successful in identifying an oil, gas and/or mineral deposit or reserve, we would be required to spend substantial funds on further drilling and engineering studies before we could know whether such deposit or reserve would constitute a commercially viable oil, gas and/or mineral deposit or reserve. Please refer to the section entitled Risk Factors, beginning at page 6 of this annual report on Form 10-KSB, for additional information about the risks of resource exploration.
On December 15, 2006 we entered into a share issuance agreement with E&P Investments GMbH wherein E&P Investments has agreed to advance up to $5,000,000 to our company. Each advance shall be in an aggregate of not less than $500,000 and in integral multiples of $500,000. In consideration for the advances, we agreed to issue to E&P Investments units of our company, each unit consisting of one shares and one share purchase warrant. Each warrant shall entitle E&P Investments to purchase one additional share at an exercise price equal to 150% of the unit price at which the unit containing the warrant being exercised was issued, for a period of three years from the date such warrant is issued. The following advances have been made pursuant to our agreement with E&P Investments:

Employees
As of July 12, 2007, we had no employees other than our directors and officers.
We engage directors and contractors from time to time to supply work on specific corporate business and exploration programs.
On October 1, 2006, we entered into an agreement with Mr. Hersch, our President and Chief Executive Officer, wherein we have agreed to pay Mr. Hersch a monthly fee of US$10,000 and we have agreed to issue to Mr. Hersch 3,000,000 restricted shares of common stock issuable on October 1, 2006. On January 11, 2007 we entered into an amendment agreement with Mr. Hersch. Under the amendment agreement, we have agreed to pay Mr. Hersch a monthly fee of US$11,000 and we have agreed to issue 5,000,000 restricted shares of common stock issuable on October 1, 2006. The shares shall be held in escrow and 250,000 shares shall vest at the end of each three-month period immediately following October 1, 2006. As of July 12, 2007, all of the 5,000,000 shares have been issued,
|
- 6 - |
750,000 of these shares have been delivered to Mr. Hersch pursuant to the amendment agreement and the remaining shares are being held in escrow.
Consultants are retained on the basis of ability and experience. Except as set forth above, there is no preliminary agreement or understanding existing or under contemplation by us (or any person acting on our behalf) concerning any aspect of our operations pursuant to which any person would be hired, compensated or paid a finders fee.
Competition
The resource industry is intensely competitive. Despite competition amongst resource producers, there is a strong market for any gold, silver, zinc, copper, oil or gas that may be removed from our properties. While it is unlikely that we will discover a mineral deposit or reserve on our properties, if we do, the value of such properties will be influenced by the market price for gold, silver, zinc, copper, oil and/or gas. These prices, to some degree, are influenced by the amount of gold, silver, zinc, copper, oil and/or gas sold by advanced resource companies.
In the resource exploration sector, our competitive position is insignificant. There are numerous resource exploration companies with substantially more capital and resources that are able to secure ownership of resource properties with a greater potential to host economic mineralization. We are not able to compete with such companies. Instead, we will focus on developing the Hermosa property and the Louisiana prospects in the hope that sufficient resources will be found to justify our expenditures.
Compliance with Government Regulation
We are committed to complying and, to our knowledge, are in compliance with all governmental and environmental regulations. Permits from a variety of regulatory authorities are required for many aspects of mining and drilling operations and reclamation. We do not currently own or operate any mines nor operate any wells and are not required to comply with the requirements of these regulatory authorities. We cannot predict the extent to which these requirements will affect our company or our property if we identify the existence of resources in commercially exploitable quantities. In addition, future legislation and regulation could cause additional expense, capital expenditures, restrictions, and delays in the exploration of our property.
We are prepared to engage professionals, if necessary, to ensure regulatory compliance but in the near term expect our activities to require minimal regulatory oversight. If we expand the scope of our activities in the future it is reasonable to expect expenditures on compliance to rise.
Intellectual Property
We do not own, either legally or beneficially, any patent or trademark.
RISK FACTORS
Our common shares are considered speculative. Prospective investors should consider carefully the risk factors set out below.
Risks Associated With Our Business
We have a limited operating history and as a result there is no assurance we can operate on a profitable basis.
We have a limited operating history and must be considered in the exploration stage. Our company's operations will be subject to all the risks inherent in the establishment of an exploration stage enterprise and the uncertainties arising from the absence of a significant operating history. Potential investors should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by resource exploration companies and the high rate of failure of such enterprises. The likelihood of success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays encountered in connection with the exploration of the properties that we plan to undertake. These potential problems include, but are not limited to, unanticipated problems relating to exploration, and additional costs and expenses that may exceed current estimates. The expenditures to be made by us in the exploration of our properties may not result in the
|
- 7 - |
discovery of mineral deposits or reserves. Problems such as unusual or unexpected formations of rock or land and other conditions are involved in resource exploration and often result in unsuccessful exploration efforts. If the results of our exploration do not reveal viable commercial mineral deposits or reserves, we may decide to abandon our claims and acquire new claims for new exploration or cease operations. The acquisition of additional claims will be dependent upon us possessing capital resources at the time in order to purchase such claims. If no funding is available, we may be forced to abandon our operations. There can be no assurance that we will be able to operate on a profitable basis.
If we do not obtain additional financing, our business will fail and our investors could lose their investment.
We had cash in the amount of $978,654 and working capital of $815,440 as of our year ended April 30, 2007. We currently do not generate revenues from our operations. Our business plan calls for substantial investment and cost in connection with the acquisition and exploration of our properties currently under lease and option. Any direct acquisition of the claim under lease or option is subject to our ability to obtain the financing necessary for us to fund and carry out exploration programs on the properties. The requirements are substantial. While we have arranged for advances of up to $5,000,000 from E&P Investments GmbH by way of a share issuance agreement entered into on December 15, 2006, and while we have received advances for $2,000,000 during the year ended April 30, 2007, there can be no assurances that we will receive any further funds from E&P Investments. Obtaining additional financing would be subject to a number of factors, including market prices for resources, investor acceptance of our properties and investor sentiment. These factors may negatively affect the timing, amount, terms or conditions of any additional financing available to us. The most likely source of future funds presently available to us is through the sale of equity capital and loans. Any sale of share capital will result in dilution to existing shareholders.
Because there is no assurance that we will generate revenues, we face a high risk of business failure.
We have not earned any revenues as of the date of this annual report and have never been profitable. We do not have an interest in any revenue generating properties. We were incorporated in December 2004 and to date have been involved primarily in organizational activities and limited exploration activities. Before we are able to generate revenue, we will incur substantial operating and exploration expenditures. We therefore expect to incur significant losses into the foreseeable future. We have limited operating history upon which an evaluation of our future success or failure can be made. Our net loss from inception to April 30, 2007 is $2,068,589. We recognize that if we are unable to generate significant revenues from our activities, we will not be able to earn profits or continue operations. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in raising capital to fund these operating losses or generate revenues in the future. We can provide investors with no assurance that we will generate any operating revenues or ever achieve profitable operations. If we are unsuccessful in addressing these risks, our business will most likely fail and our investors could lose their investment.
Because of the speculative nature of the exploration of natural resource properties, there is substantial risk that this business will fail.
There is no assurance that any of the claims we explore or acquire will contain commercially exploitable mineral deposits or reserves. Exploration for natural resources is a speculative venture involving substantial risk. Hazards such as unusual or unexpected geological formations and other conditions often result in unsuccessful exploration efforts. We may also become subject to significant liability for pollution, cave-ins, blow-outs, leakage, fires or hazards, which we cannot insure or which we may elect not to insure. The payment of such liabilities may have a material adverse effect on our financial position.
If we cannot compete successfully for financing and for qualified managerial and technical employees, our exploration program may suffer.
Our competition in the resource industry includes large established companies with substantial capabilities and with greater financial and technical resources than we have. As a result of this competition, we may be unable to acquire additional financing on terms we consider acceptable. We also compete with other mining companies in the recruitment and retention of qualified managerial and technical employees. If we are unable to successfully compete for financing or for qualified employees, our exploration program may be slowed down or suspended.
|
- 8 - |
We cannot guarantee that we will find any commercial quantities of mineral deposits or reserves.
There can be no assurance that any of the properties we are exploring contain commercial quantities of any mineral deposits or reserves. Even if we identify commercial quantities of mineral deposits or reserves in any of our properties, there can be no assurance that we will be able to exploit such mineral deposits or reserves or, if we are able to exploit them, that we will do so on a profitable basis.
If we are unable to hire and retain key personnel, we may not be able to implement our business plan.
Our success is largely dependent on our ability to hire highly qualified personnel. This is particularly true in highly technical businesses such as resource exploration. These individuals are in high demand and we may not be able to attract the personnel we need. In addition, we may not be able to afford the high salaries and fees demanded by qualified personnel, or may lose such employees after they are hired. Failure to hire key personnel when needed, or on acceptable terms, would have a significant negative effect on our business.
Our independent certified public accounting firm, in the Notes to the audited financial statements for the year ended April 30, 2007 states that there is a substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern.
Our independent certified public accounting firm, Webb & Company P.A., state in the Notes to the audited financial statements for the year ended April 30, 2007 that we have experienced significant losses since inception. Failure to arrange adequate financing on acceptable terms and to achieve profitability would have an adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, cash flows and prospects. Accordingly, there is substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern.
Because the probability of a property ever having reserves is extremely remote, any funds spent on exploration will probably be lost.
The probability of a property ever having reserves is extremely remote. It is very likely that our properties do not contain any reserves. As such, any funds spent on exploration will probably be lost which will result in a loss of your investment.
We are subject to various government regulations and environmental concerns.
We are subject to various government and environmental regulations. Permits from a variety of regulatory authorities are required for many aspects of exploration, mining and drilling operations and reclamation. We cannot predict the extent to which future legislation and regulation could cause additional expense, capital expenditures, restrictions and delays in the development of our properties, including those with respect to unpatented mining claims and oil and gas wells.
Our activities are not only subject to extensive federal, state and local regulations controlling the exploration and mining and drilling operations with respect to our properties, but also the possible effects of such activities upon the environment. Future environmental legislation and regulations could cause additional expense, capital expenditures, restrictions and delays in the development of our properties, the extent of which cannot be predicted. Also, as discussed above, permits from a variety of regulatory authorities are required for many aspects of mining and drilling operations and reclamation. In connection with environmental permitting, including the approval of reclamation plans, we must comply with known standards, existing laws and regulations that may entail greater or lesser costs and delays, depending on the nature of the activity to be permitted and how stringently the regulations are implemented
|
- 9 - |
by the permitting authority. We are not presently aware of any specific material environmental constraint affecting our properties that would preclude the economic development or operation of any specific property.
If we become more active on our properties, it is reasonable to expect that compliance with environmental regulations will increase our costs. Such compliance may include feasibility studies on the surface impact of the our proposed operations, costs associated with minimizing surface impact, water treatment and protection, reclamation activities, including rehabilitation of various sites, on-going efforts at alleviating the impact of exploration activities on wildlife, and permits or bonds as may be required to ensure our compliance with applicable regulations. It is possible that the costs and delays associated with such compliance could become so prohibitive that we may decide to not proceed with exploration, development, mining and/or drilling operations on any of our properties.
Risks Associated with Our Common Stock
Trading on the OTC Bulletin Board may be volatile and sporadic, which could depress the market price of our common stock and make it difficult for our stockholders to resell their shares.
Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board service of the National Association of Securities Dealers. Trading in stock quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board is often thin and characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices, due to many factors that may have little to do with our operations or business prospects. This volatility could depress the market price of our common stock for reasons unrelated to operating performance. Moreover, the OTC Bulletin Board is not a stock exchange, and trading of securities on the OTC Bulletin Board is often more sporadic than the trading of securities listed on a quotation system like Nasdaq or a stock exchange like Amex. Accordingly, shareholders may have difficulty reselling any of the shares.
Our stock is a penny stock. Trading of our stock may be restricted by the SECs penny stock regulations and the NADSDs sales practice requirements, which may limit a stockholders ability to buy and sell our stock.
Our stock is a penny stock. The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which generally defines penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. The term accredited investor refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customers account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customers confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchasers written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of our common stock.
In addition to the penny stock rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the NASD has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customers financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, the NASD believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities

will not be suitable for at least some customers. The NASD requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock.
Other Risks
Trends, Risks and Uncertainties
We have sought to identify what we believe to be the most significant risks to our business, but we cannot predict whether, or to what extent, any such risks may be realized nor can we guarantee that we have identified all possible risks that might arise. Investors should carefully consider all of the risk factors before making an investment decision with respect to our common stock.

Description of Property. |
Executive Offices
Our principal offices are located at 9595 Six Pines Drive, Suite 8210, Building 8, Level 2, The Woodlands, Texas 77380. Our telephone number at our principal office is (832) 631-6061. Our fax number is (832) 631-6059. We lease our office space at this location on a month-to-month basis at a rental rate of approximately $1,000 per month. We believe that our office space and facilities are sufficient to meet our present needs and do not anticipate any difficulty securing alternative or additional space, as needed, on terms acceptable to us.
Properties
There is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral deposit or reserve exists on our properties, or that we will be able to identify any mineral deposit or reserve on our properties that can be developed profitably. Even if we do discover commercially exploitable levels of minerals or reserves on our properties, which is unlikely, there can be no assurance that we will be able to enter into commercial production of our properties.
We have not found any other properties either for staking or purchasing but will seek such properties during the next year to diversify our holdings. Any staking and/or purchasing of properties may involve the issuance of substantial blocks of our shares.
Thunder Stud Prospect, Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana
On November 1, 2006, we entered into an agreement whereby we have acquired from Kossic Oil & Gas LP, a 4% working interest in the Thunder Stud Prospect, located in southern Louisiana. As consideration for the acquisition, we made a payment of $222,552 which included prospect fees and estimated property expenses. Drilling on the property began in late January 2007 and operations are being carried out by Sterling Energy plc. Target depth was reached in May 2007 and petrophysical analysis suggests that multiple pay horizons were encountered. The well is awaiting a production test to be conducted on the second half of 2007.
Shadyside Farm Prospect, St. Mary Parish, Louisiana
On February 16, 2007, we entered into a letter of intent with Houston Energy, Inc. and Red Willow Offshore, LLC. wherein we have agreed to purchase an undivided 8.92353% before casing point and 7.585% after casing point interest on the Shadyside Prospect located in St. Mary Parish, Louisiana. The final participation agreement and joint operating agreement for the prospect were signed in May 2007 and drilling operations started in July 2007. Red Willow Offshore LLC is the operator of this well.
Alligator Bayou Prospect, Matagorda and Brazoria Counties, Texas
On May 8, 2007, we entered into a letter of intent with CTC Minerals, Inc. wherein we have agreed to purchase a 10% interest in the Alligator Bayou Prospect located in Matagorda and Brazoria Counties, Texas. On July 12, 2007 we entered into a purchase and sale agreement with CTC Minerals. Under the agreement, we agreed to pay to CTC Minerals $800,000. The first well on this prospect is expected to be drilled on the first quarter of 2008.

Wilcox 105 and Miocene 101 Prospects, Beauregard Parish, Louisiana
Acquisition and Location
On June 15, 2006, we acquired a 100% working interest and 75% net revenue interest in certain oil and gas properties, located in Beauregard Parish, Louisiana, from Site Drilling Force Limited (BVI). The purchase price was $2,000,000 in cash. The purchase involved the acquisition of two prospects, namely the Wilcox Prospect 105 and the Miocene Prospect 101. These prospects are comprised of 32 leases totalling 1,224 gross acres (1,209 net acres). The leases all have three-year terms, with the expiration dates ranging from November of 2008 to March of 2009.
Miocene Prospect 101
The Miocene Prospect 101 is a simple 263-acre shallow Miocene bright spot found on a recently acquired 65 square mile 3D seismic program. The prospect target depth is only 2,750 feet. The Miocene at this depth is at the transition between fresh and salt water. According to a report by Kevin B. Hill of Hill Geophysical Consulting, many fields have been found on similar bright spots in the Miocene along the upper Gulf Coast basin. The recent discoveries have analogous seismic signatures to the bright spot seen on the 3D seismic data set of this prospect. This area of Beauregard Parish has numerous pipelines to transport gas.
Wilcox Prospect 105,
The Wilcox Prospect 105 was found using 65 square miles of 3D seismic data. According to Kevin B. Hill of Hill Geophysical Consulting, the potential structural trap coupled with the amplitude response makes this a moderate risk prospect that is very attractive. One-and-a-half miles to the east of the prospect is a Wilcox well drilled prior to the 3D seismic data which has multiple sands in the upper Wilcox formation. Sand quality is good, and oil shows from log analysis were found in the sands. Attempts to make an economic completion of that well were unsuccessful. The 3D seismic data clearly shows that the well is on the flank and just outside of a 3-way, faulted structural closure. The proposed drilling location should encounter the prospective sands over 250 feet higher than the show well. The Wilcox Prospect 105 is analogous to the nearby production from the Wilcox sand interval. There are numerous gas pipelines in the area that can take any gas product that this well may produce.

Equity Compensation Plan Information
We currently do not have an equity compensation plan.
Item 6. |
Plan of Operation. |
Overview
You should read the following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations together with the consolidated audited financial statements and the notes to consolidated audited financial statements included
|
- 14 - |
elsewhere in this filing prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.
We are an exploration stage company that has not generated or realized any revenues from our business operations.
We are an exploration company and we will be structuring our acquisitions of resource rights so that individual properties can be optioned for exploration and subsequently acquired at reasonable cost if justified by exploration results. Properties which we determine do not warrant further exploration or development expenditures are divested, typically without further financial obligation to us. Although we believe that our exploration properties may contain significant mineral deposits and reserves, our analysis of most of these properties is at a preliminary stage and some or all of the properties may not advance to a development stage. The activities performed to date at these properties often have involved the analysis of data from previous exploration efforts by others, supplemented by our own exploration programs.
There is no assurance that a commercially viable petroleum reserve exists on any of our properties, or that we will be able to identify any petroleum reserves on any of these properties that can be developed profitably. Even if we do discover commercially exploitable levels of petroleum reserves on any of our properties, there can be no assurance that we will be able to enter into commercial production of our properties.
Purchase of Significant Equipment
We do not anticipate the purchase or sale of any plant or significant equipment during the next twelve-month period.
Personnel Plan
We do not anticipate any significant changes in the number of employees during the next twelve-month period.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
There are 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 is material to investors.
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal capital resources have been through the issuance of common stock, although we may use shareholder loans, advances from related parties, or borrowing in the future.
At April 30, 2007, we had a working capital of $878,883 compared to working deficit of $2,933 as at April 30, 2006.
At April 30, 2007, our total current assets were $1,079,194, which consist of cash, accounts receivable and prepared expenses, compared to total current assets of $372 as at April 30, 2006.
At April 30, 2007, our total current liabilities were $200,311 compared to total current liabilities of $3,305 as at April 30, 2006.
At April 30, 2007, we had cash on hand of $978,654 compared to $372 as at April 30, 2006.
For the year ended April 30, 2007, we posted a net loss of $2,012,036 compared to a loss of $51,365 for the period from inception to April 30, 2006. Since incorporation, we have posted a net loss of $2,068,589. The principal components of the loss for the year ended April 30, 2007 were consulting, impairment of mineral property costs, impairment of oil and gas properties, general and administrative and professional fees.
For the year ended April 30, 2007, we incurred operating expenses of $2,024,674 compared to $51,365 for the period from incorporation to April 30, 2006.

Cash Requirements
We will require additional funds to implement our growth strategy in exploration operations. These funds may be raised through equity financing, debt financing, or other sources, which may result in further dilution in the equity ownership of our shares. There is still no assurance that we will be able to maintain operations at a level sufficient for an investor to obtain a return on his investment in our common stock. Further, we may continue to be unprofitable.
Going Concern
Due to our being an exploration stage company and not having generated revenues, in the Audit Report by our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm for the year ended April 30, 2007, our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph regarding concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern.
We have historically incurred losses, and through April 30, 2007 have incurred losses of $2,068,589 since our inception. Because of these historical losses, we will require additional working capital to develop our business operations. We intend to raise additional working capital through private placements, public offerings, bank financing and/or advances from related parties or shareholder loans.
The continuation of our business is dependent upon obtaining further financing and achieving a break even or profitable level of operations. The issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current or future stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.
There are no assurances that we will be able to either (i) achieve a level of revenues adequate to generate sufficient cash flow from operations; or (ii) obtain additional financing through either private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing necessary to support our working capital requirements. To the extent that funds generated from operations and any private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing are insufficient, we will have to raise additional working capital. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available, or if available, will be on terms acceptable to us. If adequate working capital is not available we may not increase our operations.
These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by managements application of accounting policies. We believe that understanding the basis and nature of the estimates and assumptions involved with the following aspects of our financial statements is critical to an understanding of our financials.
In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Translation of Foreign Currency
The functional currency and the reporting currency is the United States Dollar. We have gains arising as a result of translations of the Canadian funds deposits into US dollars. These gains were included in operations.

Mining Properties and Exploration Costs
Pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141 and SFAS No. 142, as amended by EITF 04-02, mineral interest associated with other than owned properties are classified as tangible assets. As of April 30, 2007, we had capitalized $nil related to the mineral property interest. The mineral property interest will be amortized using the units-of-production method when production at each project commences.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
SFAS No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets, SFAS No. 155 Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments, SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3 SFAS No. 151, Inventory Costs an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4 SFAS No. 152, Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing Transactions - an amendment of FASB Statements No. 66 and 67, SFAS No. 153, Exchanges of Non-monetary Assets an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29, and SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, were recently issued. SFAS No. 151, 152, 153, 154, 155 and 123 (revised 2004) have no current applicability to our company and have no effect on the financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors of:
Century Petroleum Corp. (f/k/a Som Resources, Inc.)
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Century Petroleum Corp. (f/k/a Som Resources, Inc.) (An exploration Stage Company) as of April 30, 2007, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders equity and cash flows for the two years ended April 30, 2007 and for the period from December 13, 2004 (inception) to April 30, 2007. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly in all material respects, the financial position of Century Petroleum Corp. (f/k/a Som Resources, Inc.) (An exploration Stage Company) as of April 30, 2007 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the two years ended April 30, 2007 and for the period from December 13, 2004 (inception) to April 30, 2007 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 8 to the financial statements, the Company is in the exploration stage with no revenue, has an accumulated deficit during the exploration stage of $2,068,589 from incorporation and used cash in operations of $435,877. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 8. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Century Petroleum Corp.
(Formerly Som Resources Inc.)
(An Exploration Stage Company)
Notes to the Financial Statements
(Expressed in US dollars)
1. |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Organization |
|
a) |
Organization |
The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on December 13, 2004 as Som Resources Inc. On August 9, 2006, the Company changed its name to Century Petroleum Corp. The Company is a natural resource exploration company with the objective of acquiring, exploring and, if warranted and feasible, developing natural resource properties. The Company is an Exploration Stage Company, as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 7 Accounting and Reporting for Development Stage Enterprises . Activities during the exploration stage include developing the business plan and raising capital.
|
b) |
Use of Estimates |
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses in the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to stock-based compensation expense, deferred income tax asset valuations and loss contingencies. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes 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 the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Companys estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.
|
c) |
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.
|
d) |
Mineral Property Interests |
The Company has been in the exploration stage since its inception and has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations. Pursuant to SFAS No. 141 and SFAS No. 142, as amended by EITF 04-02, Whether Mineral Rights Are Tangible or Intangible Assets , mineral interests associated with other than owned properties are classified as tangible assets. Mineral property interests will be amortized using the units-of-production method when production at each project commences. If mineral properties are subsequently abandoned or impaired, any capitalized costs will be charged to operations.
|
e) |
Oil and Gas Interests |
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 on a country by country basis. As of April 30, 2007, the Companys property has unproven 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 annually whether impairment has occurred, and includes in the amortization base drilling exploratory dry holes associated with unproved properties.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Organization (continued) |
|
e) |
Oil and Gas Interests (continued) |
The Company applies a ceiling test to the capitalized cost in the full cost pool. The ceiling test limits such cost to the estimated present value, using a ten percent discount rate, of the future net revenue from proved reserves, based on current economic and operating conditions. Specifically, the Company computes the ceiling test so that capitalized cost, less accumulated depletion and related deferred income tax, do not exceed an amount (the ceiling) equal to the sum of: (A) The present value of estimated future net revenue computed by applying current prices of oil and gas reserves (with consideration of price changes only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements) to estimated future production of proved oil and gas reserves as of the date of the latest balance sheet presented, less estimated future expenditures (based on current cost) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved reserves computed using a discount factor of ten percent and assuming continuation of existing economic conditions; plus (B) the cost of property not being amortized; plus (C) the lower of cost or estimated fair value of unproven properties included in the costs being amortized; less (D) income tax effects related to differences between the book and tax basis of the property.
For unproven properties, the Company excludes from capitalized costs subject to depletion, all costs directly associated with the acquisition and evaluation of the unproved property until it is determined whether or not proved reserves can be assigned to the property. Until such a determination is made, the Company assesses the property at least annually to ascertain whether impairment has occurred. In assessing impairment the Company considers factors such as historical experience and other data such as primary lease terms of the property, average holding periods of unproved property, and geographic and geologic data. The Company adds the amount of impairment assessed to the cost to be amortized subject to the ceiling test. As at April 30, 2007, the Company had no properties with proven reserves.
|
f) |
Property and Equipment |
Property and equipment consists of computer equipments, is recorded at cost and is being amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated life of three years.
|
g) |
Website Development Costs |
The Company recognizes the costs associated with developing a website in accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Statement of Position (SOP) No. 98-1, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use. Relating to website development costs the Company follows the guidance pursuant to the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) No. 00-2, Accounting for Website Development Costs.
Costs associated with the website consist primarily of web site design costs. These capitalized costs are amortized based on their estimated useful life of three years. Payroll and related costs have not been capitalized, as the amounts principally relate to maintenance. Internal costs related to the development of website content will be charged to operations as incurred.
|
h) |
Long-lived Assets |
In accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, the Company tests long-lived assets or asset groups for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of the asset; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and current expectation that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed significantly before the end of its estimated useful life.
Recoverability is assessed based on the carrying amount of the asset and its fair value which is generally determined based on the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and the eventual disposal of the asset, as well as specific appraisal in certain instances. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount is not recoverable and exceeds fair value.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Organization (continued) |
|
i) |
Income Taxes |
The Company accounts for income taxes under SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes . Under SFAS No. 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. 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. Under SFAS No. 109, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. As of April 30, 2007, the Company had a net operating loss carryforward of approximately $965,000 available to offset future taxable income through 2026. The valuation allowance at April 30, 2007 was approximately $337,800. The net change in the valuation allowance for the period ended April 30, 2007 was an increase of $318,000.
|
j) |
Loss Per Share |
Basic and diluted net loss per common share is computed based upon the weighted average common shares outstanding as defined by Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings Per Share. As of April 30, 2007, the effect of 6,622,705 (2006 0) stock purchase warrants was anti dilutive and not included in the calculation of dilutive net loss.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, " Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments-an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140 ", to simplify and make more consistent the accounting for certain financial instruments. SFAS No. 155 amends SFAS No. 133, " Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities ", to permit fair value re-measurement for any hybrid financial instrument with an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation, provided that the whole instrument is accounted for on a fair value basis. SFAS No. 155 amends SFAS No. 140, " Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets ", to allow a qualifying special-purpose entity to hold a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. SFAS No. 155 applies to all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006, with earlier application allowed. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's future reported financial position or results of operations.
In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, " Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities ". This statement requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities be initially measured at fair value, if practicable, and permits for subsequent measurement using either fair value measurement with changes in fair value reflected in earnings or the amortization and impairment requirements of Statement No. 140. The subsequent measurement of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities at fair value eliminates the necessity for entities that manage the risks inherent in servicing assets and servicing liabilities with derivatives to qualify for hedge accounting treatment and eliminates the characterization of declines in fair value as impairments or direct write-downs. SFAS No. 156 is effective for an entity's first fiscal year beginning after September 15, 2006. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's future reported financial position or results of operations.
In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statements No. 109 . FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by prescribing a two-step method of first evaluating whether a tax position has met a more likely than not recognition threshold and second, measuring that tax position to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 provides guidance on the presentation of such positions within a classified statement of financial position as well as on derecognition, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's future reported financial position or results of operations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued) |
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements . The objective of SFAS 157 is to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and to expand disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and does not require any new fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are effective for fair value measurements made in fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's future reported financial position or results of operations.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R) . This statement requires employers to recognize the over-funded or under-funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income of a business entity or changes in unrestricted net assets of a not-for-profit organization. This statement also requires an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position, with limited exceptions. The provisions of SFAS No. 158 are effective for employers with publicly traded equity securities as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.
In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements . SAB No. 108 addresses how the effects of prior year uncorrected misstatements should be considered when quantifying misstatements in current year financial statements. SAB No. 108 requires companies to quantify misstatements using a balance sheet and income statement approach and to evaluate whether either approach results in quantifying an error that is material in light of relevant quantitative an qualitative factors. SAB No. 108 is effective for periods ending after November 15, 2006. The adoption of SAB No. 108 did not have a material effect on the Companys financial statements.
In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 . This statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Most of the provisions of SFAS No. 159 apply only to entities that elect the fair value option. However, the amendment to SFAS No. 115 Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities applies to all entities with available-for-sale and trading securities. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entitys first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provision of SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

Going Concern |
As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company is in the Exploration stage with no operations, has a deficit accumulated during the exploration stage of $2,068,589 from inception and used cash from Operations of $435,877 for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2007. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Companys ability to raise additional capital and implement its business plan. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
Management believes that actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding and implement its strategic plans provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.

Since 1996 Mr. Hersch has held various positions with Anadarko Petroleum Corporation, including Exploration Manager, Project Geologist and most recently as Project Manager.

- 19 - |
Johannes T. Petersen Secretary, Treasurer and Director
Mr. Petersen was appointed as President, Treasurer, Secretary and a director on May 15, 2006. On October 1, 2006, Mr. Petersen resigned as President of our company.
Mr. Petersen holds a BSc. in Economics from Universidad del Pacifico (Peru) and an MBA degree from the London Business School (UK). He has gained experience from multiple managerial and directorship positions with a diverse group of public and private companies. Since completing his business school studies, Mr. Petersen gained business development and business planning experience with an emphasis in the resources industry. He has worked in business planning for diamond, gold and oil and gas exploration projects and has also covered several functions within the financial services industry, ranging from fixed income to currency trading.
Mr. Petersen currently sits on the board of directors of Reflection Oil & Gas Partners Ltd, a private UK company of which he was a founder, Century Petroleum Corp., a private U.S. company of which he was a founder, and Hainan Mining Corporation Ltd., a private UK company of which he was a founder.
Mr. Petersen formerly worked in Lima, Peru for the following companies: Peru Scan Trading, Credibolsa SAB, Banco de Credito del Peru and CONASEV (Peruvian equivalent of the SEC).
Audit Committee and Audit Committee Financial Expert
We do not have an Audit Committee, our board of directors performs the functions of an Audit Committee. The current size of our board of directors does not facilitate the establishment of a separate committee.
Our board of directors has determined that it does not have a member of the audit committee that qualifies as an audit committee financial expert as defined in Item 401(e) of Regulation S-B.
We believe that our board of directors is capable of analyzing and evaluating financial statements that present a breadth and level of complexity of accounting issues that are generally comparable to the breadth and complexity of the issues reasonably expected to be raised by our company. In addition, we believe that retaining an independent director who would qualify as an audit committee financial expert would be overly costly and burdensome and is not warranted in our circumstances given the early stages of our development and the fact that we have not generated revenues to date.
Other Committees of the Board
Compensation Committee
We do not have a compensation committee.
Nominating Committee
We do not have a Nominating Committee, our entire board of directors perform the functions of a Nominating Committee and oversee the process by which individuals may be nominated to our board of directors.
The current size of our board of directors does not facilitate the establishment of a separate committee. We hope to establish a separate Nominating Committee consisting of independent directors, if the number of our directors is expanded.
Family Relationships
There are no family relationships between any director or executive officer.
Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
None of our directors, executive officers, promoters or control persons have been involved in any of the following events during the past five years:
|
- 20 - |
1. any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time;
2. any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offences);
3. being subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities; or
4. being found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the Commission or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended, or vacated.
Code of Ethics
On July 25, 2007, our board of directors confirmed the adoption of our Code of Ethics and Business Conduct that applies to, among other persons, our company's chief executive officer, president and chief financial officer (being our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer), as well as persons performing similar functions. As adopted, our Code of Ethics and Business Conduct sets forth written standards that are designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote:
1. honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;
2. full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that we file with, or submit to, the Securities and Exchange Commission and in other public communications made by us;
3. |
compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations; |
4. the prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code of Ethics and Business Conduct to an appropriate person or persons identified in the Code of Ethics and Business Conduct; and
5. |
accountability for adherence to the Code of Ethics and Business Conduct. |
Our Code of Ethics and Business Conduct requires, among other things, that all of our company's senior officers commit to timely, accurate and consistent disclosure of information; that they maintain confidential information; and that they act with honesty and integrity.
In addition, our Code of Ethics and Business Conduct emphasizes that all employees have a responsibility for maintaining financial integrity within our company, consistent with generally accepted accounting principles, and federal and state securities laws. Any employee who becomes aware of any incidents involving financial or accounting manipulation or other irregularities, whether by witnessing the incident or being told of it, must report it to our company. Any failure to report such inappropriate or irregular conduct of others is to be treated as a severe disciplinary matter. It is against our company policy to retaliate against any individual who reports in good faith the violation or potential violation of our company's Code of Ethics and Business Conduct by another.
Our Code of Ethics and Business Conduct is being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as Exhibit 14.1 to this annual report on Form 10-KSB. We will provide a copy of the Code of Ethics and Business Conduct to any person without charge, upon request. Requests can be sent to: Century Petroleum Corp., 9595 Six Pines Drive, Suite 8210, Building 8, Level 2, The Woodlands, TX 77380.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10% of our common stock, to file reports regarding ownership of, and transactions in, our securities with the Securities and Exchange Commission and to provide us with copies of those filings. Based solely on our review of the copies of such forms received by us, or written representations from certain reporting persons, we believe that during fiscal year ended April 30, 2007, all filing requirements applicable to its officers, directors and greater than ten percent beneficial owners were complied with.

Audit Fees. Consist of fees billed for professional services rendered for the audits of our financial statements, reviews of our interim consolidated financial statements included in quarterly reports, services performed in connection with filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and related comfort letters and other services that are normally provided by Webb Company, P.A. for the fiscal years ended April 2007 and 2006 in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements.
Tax Fees. Consist of fees billed for professional services for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning. These services include assistance regarding federal, state and local tax compliance and consultation in connection with various transactions and acquisitions.
We do not use Webb & Company, P.A. for financial information system design and implementation. These services, which include designing or implementing a system that aggregates source data underlying the financial statements or generates information that is significant to our financial statements, are provided internally or by other service providers. We do not engage Webb & Company, P.A to provide compliance outsourcing services.
Effective May 6, 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted rules that require that before Webb & Company, P.A. is engaged by us to render any auditing or permitted non-audit related service, the engagement be:
|
|
approved by our audit committee (the functions of which are performed by our entire board of directors); or |
|
|
entered into pursuant to pre-approval policies and procedures established by the board of directors, provided the policies and procedures are detailed as to the particular service, the board of directors is informed of each service, and such policies and procedures do not include delegation of the board of directors' responsibilities to management. |
Our board of directors pre-approve all services provided by our independent auditors. All of the above services and fees were reviewed and approved by our board of directors either before or after the respective services were rendered.
Our board of directors have considered the nature and amount of fees billed by Webb & Company, P.A. and believe that the provision of services for activities unrelated to the audit is compatible with maintaining Webb & Company, P.A.s independence.
