Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.

Our financial statements are stated in United States dollars (US$) and are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles.

In this annual report, unless otherwise specified, all references to “common shares” refer to the common shares of our capital stock.

As used in this annual report, the terms “we”, “us” and “our” mean Century Petroleum Corp., unless otherwise indicated.

Corporate Overview

The address of our principal executive office is Suite 9595 Six Pines Drive, Suite 8210, Building 8, Level 2, The Woodlands, TX 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 value 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 oil and gas exploration and production 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. We are generating revenue from one of our properties and we intend to focus our efforts on our current exploratory 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. As of April 30, 2008, the Company had capitalized $2,071,275 of costs related to its interest. During the year ended April 30, 2008, the Company decided not to pursue the development of this property. As a result, $2,071,275 was added to the full cost pool.

On November 1, 2006, we entered into an agreement whereby we acquired from Kossic Oil & Gas LP, a 4% working interest in the Thunder Stud Prospect, located in southern Louisiana. On October 25, 2007 we increased our working interest in certain geologic objectives of well No. 1 to 5.44% . Drilling on the property began in late January 2007 and operations were carried out by Sterling Energy plc. Target depth for well No. 1 was reached in May 2007 and petrophysical analysis suggests that multiple pay horizons were encountered. Testing operations of Well No. 1 were carried out in two intervals of the Yegua formation. One of these intervals was deemed to be noncommercial, whilst the other interval flowed oil and gas at a gross rate of 1,057 MCFD and 456BOPD. Working interest partners are expected to drill Thunder Stud #2 confirmation well in 2008. The second well will target a geologic structure interpreted to be up-dip of the existing well control. At the close of the year ended April 30, 2008, we had spent $1,749,634.91 on the acquisition of the project, lease renewals, drilling, completion and testing costs for this well.

On February 16, 2007, we entered into a letter of intent with Houston Energy, Inc. and Red Willow Offshore, LLC. wherein we 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 on the Shadyside 1 well started in July 2007. Target depth was reached in September 2007. At that time, we increased our working interest after casing point to 15.17% . On December 2007, a production test was successfully completed and on January 7, 2008, hydrocarbons production started. At the close of the year ended April 30, 2008, we had spent $1,299,643.26 on the acquisition of the project, lease renewals, drilling, completion, testing and development costs for this well. In September 2007, Neumin Production Company replaced Red Willow Offshore LLC as the operator of this well.

On May 8, 2007, we entered into a letter of intent with CTC Minerals, Inc. wherein we 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 final purchase and sale agreement with CTC Minerals. Drilling operations of the Alligator Bayou 1 well began in late April 2008 and El Paso Corporation is the operator of the well. At the close of the year ended April 30, 2008, we had spent $1,231,942.74 on the acquisition of the project, lease rentals and geological studies related to this prospect. On April 20, 2008, the Company agreed to sell a 4% working interest in the property to three separate parties.

Our plan of operation is to conduct exploration work on our properties and prospects in order to ascertain whether they possess economic quantities of hydrocarbons in accordance with available funds. There can be no assurance that an economic hydrocarbon reserve exists on any of our exploration prospects until appropriate exploration work is completed. Our only source of revenue is the production of the Shadyside #1 well. 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.

Oil and gas 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 the presence of hydrocarbons, we will have to spend substantial funds on further drilling and engineering studies before we will know if we have a commercially viable oil and gas deposit or reserve.

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 share 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:

Competition

The oil and gas industry is intensely competitive. Despite competition amongst oil and gas producers, there is a strong market for any oil or gas that may be extracted from our properties. If we discover a reserve on our exploration properties, the value of such properties will be influenced by the market price for hydrocarbons. These prices, to some degree, are influenced by the amount of oil and/or gas sold by advanced oil and gas companies in the world.

In the oil and gas exploration sector, our competitive position is insignificant. There are numerous oil and gas exploration and production companies with substantially more capital and resources that are able to secure ownership of oil and gas properties with a greater potential to host economic reserves. We are not able to compete with such companies. Instead, we will focus on developing our current portfolio of prospects in the hope that sufficient oil and gas 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 drilling operations, abandonment and restoration. We do not currently 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.

Employees

As of April 30, 2008, we had no employees other than our directors and officers.

5


We engage directors, consultants 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 consulting agreement with Mr. Hersch, under which, 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 are held in escrow and 250,000 shares vest at the end of each three-month period immediately following October 1, 2006. As of April 30, 2008, all of the 5,000,000 shares have been issued, 1,500,000 of these shares have been delivered to Mr. Hersch pursuant to the amendment consulting agreement and the remaining shares are being held in escrow. From January 1, 2008, we agreed to increase Mr. Hersch’s compensation to $15,000 per month.

On May 24, 2007, we entered into an agreement to appoint Michael Cochran as a member of our advisory team. Mr. Cochran agreed to provide advisory services to our company for an indefinite period, or until terminated by either party, in consideration for 37,500 restricted shares of common stock at the end of every financial quarter in which he serves as a member of our company’s advisory team.

On June 1, 2007, we entered into an agreement to appoint John Seitz as a member of our company’s advisory team. Mr. Seitz agreed to provide advisory services to our company for an indefinite period, or until terminated by either party, in consideration for 37,500 restricted shares of common stock at the end of every financial quarter in which he serves as a member of our company’s advisory team.

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 finder’s fee.

RISK FACTORS

Much of the information included in this annual report includes or is based upon estimates, projections or other “forward looking statements”. Such forward looking statements include any projections and estimates made by us and our management in connection with our business operations. While these forward-looking statements, and any assumptions upon which they are based, are made in good faith and reflect our current judgment regarding the direction of our business, actual results will almost always vary, sometimes materially, from any estimates, predictions, projections, assumptions or other future performance suggested herein.

Such estimates, projections or other “forward looking statements” involve various risks and uncertainties as outlined below. We caution the reader that important factors in some cases have affected and, in the future, could materially affect actual results and cause actual results to differ materially from the results expressed in any such estimates, projections or other “forward looking statements”.

Risks Associated With Our Business

We are an early stage exploration and production company with a limited operating history implementing a new business plan. If we are unable to successfully implement our business plan, our shareholders may lose some or all of their investment.

We are an early stage exploration and production company with only a limited operating history upon which to base an evaluation of our current business and future prospects, and we have just begun to implement our business plan, having started in the oil and gas exploration and development industry in June of 2006. 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. If we cannot successfully implement our business plan and we are not able to operate profitably, you could lose some or all of your investment in our company.

There can be no assurance that we will identify and acquire additional oil and natural gas exploration properties. Even if we do acquire one or more of such properties, there can be no assurance that we will discover oil or natural gas in any commercial quantity thereon.

Exploration for economic reserves of oil and natural gas is subject to a number of risks. Even if we are able to acquire an oil and natural gas exploration property, few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing oil and/or natural gas wells. If we cannot acquire one or more oil and natural gas exploration properties and discover oil or natural gas in any commercial quantity thereon, our business will fail.

Even if we acquire an oil and natural gas exploration property and establish that it contains oil or natural gas in commercially exploitable quantities, the potential profitability of oil and natural gas ventures depends upon factors beyond the control of our company.

The potential profitability of oil and natural gas properties is dependent upon many factors beyond our control. For instance, world prices and markets for oil and natural 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 hinder drilling operations. These changes and events may materially affect our future 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.

In addition, a productive well may become uneconomic in the event water or other deleterious substances are encountered which impair or prevent the production of oil and/or natural gas from the well. Production from any well may be unmarketable if it is impregnated with water or other deleterious substances. Also, the marketability of oil and natural gas which may be acquired or discovered will be affected by numerous related factors, including the proximity and capacity of oil and natural gas pipelines and processing equipment, market fluctuations of prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, allowable production and environmental protection, all of which could result in greater expenses than revenue generated by the well.

The marketability of hydrocarbons will be affected by numerous factors beyond our control which may result in us not receiving an adequate return on invested capital to be profitable or viable.

The marketability of hydrocarbons 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 natural gas pricing and demand, the proximity and capacity of hydrocarbon markets and processing equipment, governmental regulations, land tenure, land use, regulation concerning the importing and exporting of oil and natural 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 natural 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 natural gas operations are subject to federal, state, and local laws relating to the protection of the environment, including laws regulating removal of hydrocarbons from the ground and the discharge of materials into the environment. Oil and natural 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 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 the future and this may affect our ability to expand or maintain our operations.

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 natural 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.

As of April 30, 2008, only one of our properties has proven reserves. On our other exploratory properties, we have not yet established any reserves and resources and we cannot assure you that we will ever establish any reserve or resources on them.

There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of oil and natural gas resources, including many factors beyond our control, and no assurance can be given that the recovery of oil and natural gas resources will be realized. In general, estimates of recoverable oil and natural gas resources are based upon a number of factors and assumptions made as of the date on which the resource estimates were determined, such as geological and engineering estimates which have inherent uncertainties and the assumed effects of regulation by governmental agencies and estimates of future commodity prices and operating costs, all of which may vary considerably from actual results. All such estimates are, to some degree, uncertain and classifications of oil and natural gas resources are only attempts to define the degree of uncertainty involved. For these reasons, estimates of the recoverable oil and natural gas resources, the classification of oil and natural gas resources based on risk of recovery, prepared by different engineers or by the same engineers at different times, may vary substantially.

Any change to government regulation/administrative practices may have a negative impact on our ability to operate and our profitability.

The business of oil and natural gas exploration and development is subject to substantial regulation under various countries laws relating to the exploration for, and the development, upgrading, marketing, pricing, taxation, and transportation of oil and natural gas and related products and other matters. Amendments to current laws and regulations governing operations and activities of oil and natural gas exploration and development operations could have a material adverse impact on our business. In addition, there can be no assurance that income tax laws, royalty regulations and government incentive programs related to the properties subject to our farm-out agreements and the oil and natural gas industry generally will not be changed in a manner which may adversely affect our progress and cause delays, inability to explore and develop or abandonment of these interests.

Permits, leases, licenses, and approvals are required from a variety of regulatory authorities at various stages of exploration and development. There can be no assurance that the various government permits, leases, licenses and approvals sought will be granted in respect of our activities or, if granted, will not be cancelled or will be renewed upon expiry. There is no assurance that such permits, leases, licenses, and approvals will not contain terms and provisions which may adversely affect our exploration and development activities.

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 $128,672 and working capital of $463,671 as at April 30, 2008. We have had limited income from operations during the last quarter of our financial year ended April 30, 2008. 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 $4,350,000 from the date of the share issuance agreement to April 30, 2008, 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

8


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 profitable operations, we face a high risk of business failure.

Despite having earned revenues of $301,337 during the last quarter of the year ended April 30, 2008, we have never been profitable. 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 significant additional 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, 2008 is $5,949,137. We recognize that if we are unable to generate significant additional 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 significant additional revenues in the future. We can provide investors with no assurance that we will 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.

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 oil and gas 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, 2008 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., has stated in the Notes to the audited financial statements for the year ended April 30, 2008 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.

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 Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). 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 SEC’s penny stock regulations and the NASD’s sales practice requirements, which may limit a stockholder’s 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 customer’s 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 customer’s 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 purchaser’s 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, FINRA 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 customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA 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.

ITEM 2.           DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY.

Executive Offices

Our principal offices are located at 9595 Six Pines Drive, Suite 8210, Building 8, Level 2, The Woodlands, TX 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

As of April 30, 2008, only one of our properties has proven reserves. On our other exploratory properties, there is no assurance that a commercially viable hydrocarbon reserve exists properties, or that we will be able to identify any hydrocarbons on our exploratory properties that can be developed profitably. Even if we do discover commercially exploitable levels of hydrocarbons on our properties, there can be no assurance that we will be able to enter into commercial production of our properties.

10


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. On October 25, 2007 we increased our working interest in certain geologic objectives of well No. 1 to 5.44% . Drilling on the property began in late January 2007 and operations were carried out by Sterling Energy plc. Target depth for well No. 1 was reached in May 2007 and petrophysical analysis suggests that multiple pay horizons were encountered. Testing operations of Well No. 1 were carried out in two intervals of the Yegua formation. One of these intervals was deemed to be noncommercial, whilst the other interval flowed oil and gas at a gross rate of 1,057 MCFD and 456BOPD. At the close of the year ended April 30, 2008, we had spent $1,749,634.91, on the acquisition of the project, lease renewals, drilling, completion and testing costs for this project. Operations on well No.1 are awaiting results of a confirmation well, currently under planning by our working interest partners. The second well will target a geologic structure interpreted to be up-dip of the existing well control.

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, drilling operations started in July 2007 and production began on January 7, 2008. At the close of the year ended April 30, 2008, we had spent $1,299,643.26 on the acquisition of the project, lease renewals, drilling, completion, testing and development costs for this well. We currently hold a 15.17% working interest on this well. Neumin Production Company is the operator of this well. The well is currently producing.

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% working interest in the Alligator Bayou Prospect located in Matagorda and Brazoria Counties, Texas. On July 12, 2007 we entered into a final purchase and sale agreement with CTC Minerals. On April 20, 2008, the Company agreed to sell a 4% interest in the property to three separate parties in consideration for $490,332, which represents 40% of estimated expenses incurred by our company on the property up to April 10, 2008.

Drilling operations began in late April 2008 and El Paso Corporation is the operator of the well. At the close of the year ended April 30, 2008, we had spent $1,231,942.74 on the acquisition of the project, lease rentals and geological studies related to this prospect. As of August 08, 2008, drilling operations continue on this prospect.

El Grande and Hickory Branch Prospects, Beauregard Parish, Louisiana

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. The purchase involved the acquisition of two prospects, namely the El Grande (formerly known as Wilcox 105) and the Hickory Branch (formerly known as the Miocene 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.

We conducted preliminary geological and geophysical studies on the Beauregard Parish leases. As of April 30, 2008, we had capitalized $2,071,275 of costs related to its interest. During the year ended April 30, 2008, we decided not to pursue the development of this property. $2,071,275 was added to the full cost pool. As a result of a ceiling test of the carrying value of the full cost pool we recorded an impairment charge of $1,034,151.

Equity Compensation Plan Information

We currently do not have any stock option or equity compensation plans or arrangements.

Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers

We did not purchase any of our shares of common stock or other securities during our fiscal year ended April 30, 2008.

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

The following is a discussion and analysis of our plan of operation for the next year ended April 30, 2008, and the factors that could affect our future financial condition and plan of operation.

This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this annual report. Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles. All references to dollar amounts in this section are in United States dollars unless expressly stated otherwise. Please see our “Note on Forward Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” for a list of our risk factors.

Cash Requirements

Despite having earned revenues of $301,337 during the last quarter of the year ended April 30, 2008, we have never been profitable. We require additional funds of approximately $2,000,000 at a minimum to proceed with our plan of operation over the next twelve months, exclusive of any acquisition or exploration costs. As we do not have the funds necessary to cover our projected operating expenses for the next twelve month period, we will be required to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity securities, through loans or through debt financing. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising the required capital or that actual cash requirements will not exceed our estimates.

Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion for the year ended April 30, 2008. This means that there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an on-going business for the next twelve months unless we obtain additional capital to pay our bills. This is because we have not generated any significant revenues and no significant revenues are anticipated until production on our properties increase. As we had cash in the amount of $128,672 and a working capital in the amount of $463,671 as of April 30, 2008, we do not have sufficient working capital to enable us to carry out our stated plan of operation for the next twelve months. 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. We currently do not have any arrangements in place for the completion of any debt financings or private placement financings and there is no assurance that we will be successful in completing any debt financing or private placement financing.

Estimated Net Expenditures During the Next Twelve Months

General and administrative $  400,000  
Exploration Expenses $  1,600,000  
Total $   2,000,000  

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of the date of this annual report, we have generated revenues of $301,337 from our business activities.

14


During the year ended April 30, 2008, we received $2,850,000 from E&P Investment s GMBH and issued 5,280,319 units to E&P Investments. Each unit consists of one common share and one common share purchase warrant.

As of April 30, 2008, our total current assets were $1,019,024 and our total current liabilities were $555,353 and we had a working capital of $463,671. Our financial statements report a net loss of $3,880,548 for the year ended April 30, 2008, and a net loss of $5,949,137 for the period from December 13, 2004 (date of incorporation) to April 30, 2008. Our net loss from operations increased to $3,880,548 for the year ended April 30, 2008, as compared to $2,012,036 for the year ended April 30, 2007. Our losses have increased primarily as a result of impairment of oil & gas properties, consulting fees, general and administrative fees and production expenses.

We have suffered recurring losses from operations. The continuation of our company is dependent upon our company attaining and maintaining profitable operations and raising additional capital as needed. In this regard we have raised additional capital through the equity offerings and loan transactions noted above.

The continuation of our business is dependent upon obtaining further financing, a successful program of exploration, and, finally, achieving a 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 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 obtain further funds required for our continued operations. As noted herein, we are pursuing various financing alternatives to meet our immediate and long-term financial requirements. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain the additional financing on a timely basis, we will be unable to conduct our operations as planned, and we will not be able to meet our other obligations as they become due. In such event, we will be forced to scale down or perhaps even cease our operations.

Product Research and Development

We are conducting research in the form of exploration of our properties.

Purchase of Significant Equipment

We do not intend to purchase any significant equipment over the twelve months ending April 30, 2009.

Employees

Currently our only employees are our directors, officers, and advisory team members. We do not expect any material changes in the number of employees over the next 12 month period. We do and will continue to outsource contract employment as needed.

Going Concern

We have suffered recurring losses from operations. The continuation of our company as a going concern is dependent upon our company attaining and maintaining profitable operations and raising additional capital. The financial statements do not include any adjustment relating to the recovery and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should our company discontinue operations.

Due to the uncertainty of our ability to meet our current operating expenses and the capital expenses noted above, in their report on the annual financial statements for the year ended April 30, 2008, our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph regarding the substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements contain additional note disclosures describing the circumstances that lead to this disclosure by our independent auditors.

15


The continuation of our business is dependent upon us raising additional financial support. The issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.

Recent accounting pronouncements

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“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 our future reported financial position or results of operations.

In February 2007, the 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 entity’s 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 our financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of ARB No. 51”. This statement improves the relevance, comparability, and transparency of the financial information that a reporting entity provides in its consolidated financial statements by establishing accounting and reporting standards that require; the ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent and 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, changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest in its subsidiary be accounted for consistently, when a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary be initially measured at fair value, entities provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. SFAS No. 160 affects 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. Early adoption is prohibited. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on our financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, “Business Combinations”. This statement replaces SFAS 141 and defines the acquirer in a business combination as the entity that obtains control of one or more businesses in a business combination and establishes the acquisition date as the date that the acquirer achieves control. SFAS 141R requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date. SFAS 141R also requires the acquirer to recognize contingent consideration at the acquisition date, measured at its fair value at that date. This statement is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on our financial statements.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – an amendment to FASB Statement No. 133”. SFAS No. 161 is intended to improve financial standards for 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. Entities are required

16


to provide enhanced disclosures about: (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments; (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations; and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, with early adoption encouraged. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 161 on its financial statements, and the adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on our financial statements.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. SFAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. It is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on our financial statements.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts – An interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60”. SFAS 163 requires that an insurance enterprise recognize a claim liability prior to an event of default when there is evidence that credit deterioration has occurred in an insured financial obligation. It also clarifies how Statement 60 applies to financial guarantee insurance contracts, including the recognition and measurement to be used to account for premium revenue and claim liabilities, and requires expanded disclosures about financial guarantee insurance contracts. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, except for some disclosures about the insurance enterprise’s risk-management activities. SFAS 163 requires that disclosures about the risk-management activities of the insurance enterprise be effective for the first period beginning after issuance. Except for those disclosures, earlier application is not permitted. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on our financial statements.

ITEM 7.           FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.

Our financial statements are stated in United States dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles.

It is the opinion of management that the audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2008 include all adjustments necessary in order to ensure that the audited financial statements are not misleading.

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.)as of April 30, 2008, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the for the two years ended April 30, 2008 and 2007. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards 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.) as of April 30, 2008 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the two years ended April 30, 2008 and 2007 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 8 to the financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $5,949,137 and used cash in operations of $409,289 for the year ended April 30, 2008. 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.

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 has produced significant revenue from its principal business and prior to February 1, 2008 was an Exploration Stage Company, as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 7 “Accounting and Reporting for Development Stage Enterprises” . As of April 30, 2008, the Company has exited the exploration stage.

     
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 the useful life and recoverability of long-lived assets, 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 Company’s 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, 2008, one of the Company’s properties has 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 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)

     

Once the Company has evaluated its properties as proven, the costs are transferred to the full cost pool. The Company then 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.

     
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)

Asset Retirement Obligations

     

The Company recognizes a liability for future retirement obligations associated with the Company’s oil and gas properties. The estimated fair value of the asset retirement obligation is based on the current cost escalated at an inflation rate and discounted at a credit adjusted risk-free rate. This liability is capitalized as part of the cost of the related asset and amortized over its useful life. The liability accretes until the Company settles the obligation.

     
j)

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, 2008, the Company had a net operating loss carryforward of approximately $2,680,100 available to offset future taxable income through 2027. The valuation allowance at April 30, 2008 was approximately $938,000. The net change in the valuation allowance for the period ended April 30, 2008 was an increase of $600,200.

     
k)

Loss Per Share

     

Basic and diluted net loss per common share is computed based upon the weighted average common shares outstanding as defined by SFAS No. 128, “ Earnings Per Share .” As of April 30, 2008, the effect of 11,089,071 (April 30, 2007 – 6,622,705) stock purchase warrants was anti dilutive and not included in the calculation of dilutive net loss.

     
l)

Revenue Recognition

     

Oil and natural gas revenues are recorded using the sales method whereby the Company recognizes oil and natural gas revenue based on the amount of oil and gas sold to purchasers when title passes, the amount is determinable and collection is reasonably assured. Actual sales of gas are based on sales, net of the associated volume charges for processing fees and for costs associated with delivery, transportation, marketing, and royalties in accordance with industry standards. Operating costs and taxes are recognized in the same period of which revenue is earned.

     
m)

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

     

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“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 February 2007, the 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 entity’s 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.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)

     

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “ Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of ARB No. 51 ”. This statement improves the relevance, comparability, and transparency of the financial information that a reporting entity provides in its consolidated financial statements by establishing accounting and reporting standards that require; the ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent and 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, changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest in its subsidiary be accounted for consistently, when a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary be initially measured at fair value, entities provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. SFAS No. 160 affects 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. Early adoption is prohibited. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

     

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, “ Business Combinations ”. This statement replaces SFAS 141 and defines the acquirer in a business combination as the entity that obtains control of one or more businesses in a business combination and establishes the acquisition date as the date that the acquirer achieves control. SFAS 141R requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date. SFAS 141R also requires the acquirer to recognize contingent consideration at the acquisition date, measured at its fair value at that date. This statement is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

     

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “ Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – an amendment to FASB Statement No. 133 ”. SFAS No. 161 is intended to improve financial standards for 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. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about: (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments; (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations; and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, with early adoption encouraged. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 161 on its financial statements, and the adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

     

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “ The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ”. SFAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. It is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

     

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 163, “ Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts – An interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60 ”. SFAS 163 requires that an insurance enterprise recognize a claim liability prior to an event of default when there is evidence that credit deterioration has occurred in an insured financial obligation. It also clarifies how Statement 60 applies to financial guarantee insurance contracts, including the recognition and measurement to be used to account for premium revenue and claim liabilities, and requires expanded disclosures about financial guarantee insurance contracts. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, except for some disclosures about the insurance enterprise’s risk-management activities. SFAS 163 requires that disclosures about the risk-management activities of the insurance enterprise be effective for the first period beginning after issuance. Except for those disclosures, earlier application is not permitted. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

The corresponding accretion at April 30, 2008, being $Nil (April 30, 2007 - $Nil), will be included in depletion, depreciation and amortization. Actual retirement costs will be recorded against the AROs when incurred. Any difference between the recorded AROs and the actual retirement costs incurred will be recorded as a gain or loss in the period of settlement.

Going Concern

     

As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has a deficit of $5,949,137 from inception and used cash from operations of $409,289, for the year ended April 30, 2008. 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 Company’s 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.

ITEM 8A.         CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our president (our principal executive officer) and our secretary and treasurer (our principal accounting officer and principal financial officer) to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and our management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

As of April 30, 2008, the end of the year covered by this report, our president (our principal executive officer) and our secretary and treasurer (our principal accounting officer and principal financial officer) carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, our president (our principal executive officer) and our secretary and treasurer (our principal accounting officer and principal financial officer) concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this annual report.

There have been no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the year ended April 30, 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

ITEM 8A(T)      CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Management’s Report on Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 , as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our president (also our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer) to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As of April 30, 2008, the end of our fiscal year covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our president (our principal executive officer) and our secretary and treasurer (our principal accounting officer and principal financial officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, our president (our principal executive officer) and our secretary and treasurer (our principal accounting officer and principal financial officer) concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this annual report.

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 Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act, as amended). In fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and judgments by management are required to assess the expected benefits and related costs of control procedures. The objectives of internal control include providing management with reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorized use or disposition, and that transactions are executed in accordance with management’s authorization and recorded properly to permit the preparation of

19


consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of April 30, 2008. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework . Our management has concluded that, as of April 30, 2008, our internal control over financial reporting is effective in providing reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit our company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Inherent limitations on effectiveness of controls

Internal control over financial reporting has inherent limitations which include but is not limited to the use of independent professionals for advice and guidance, interpretation of existing and/or changing rules and principles, segregation of management duties, scale of organization, and personnel factors. Internal control over financial reporting is a process which involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgement and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting also can be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis, however these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process and it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the year ended April 30, 2008 that have materially or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

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.

21


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.

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

Our directors, executive officers and control persons have not been involved in any of the following events during the past five years:

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 offenses);

   
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 Securities and Exchange 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.

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

22


during fiscal year ended April 30, 2008, all filing requirements applicable to its officers, directors and greater than 10% percent beneficial owners were complied with, with the exception of the following:

The named officer, director or greater than 10% stockholder, as applicable, filed a late Form 4 - Statement of Changes in Beneficial Ownership of Securities.

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.

Nomination Process

As of July 23, 2008, we did not effect any material changes to the procedures by which our shareholders may recommend nominees to our board of directors. Our board of directors does not have a policy with regards to the consideration of any director candidates recommended by our shareholders. Our board of directors has determined that it is in the best position to evaluate our company’s requirements as well as the qualifications of each candidate when the board considers a nominee for a position on our board of directors. If shareholders wish to recommend candidates directly to our board, they may do so by sending communications to the President of our company at the address on the cover of this annual report.

Audit Committee and Audit Committee Financial Expert

We do not have a standing audit committee at the present time. Our board of directors has determined that we do not have a board member that qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in Item 401(e) of Regulation S-B, nor do we have a board member that qualifies as “independent” as the term is used in Item 7(d)(3)(iv) of Schedule 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

We believe that the members of our board of directors are capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. The board of directors of our company does not believe that it is necessary to have an audit committee because we believe that the functions of an audit committee can be adequately performed by the board of directors, consisting of Johannes Petersen and James Hersch. 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 present circumstances given the early stages of our development.

ITEM 10.         EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION.

Executive Compensation

The particulars of compensation paid to the following persons:

(a)

our principal executive officer;

   
(b)

each of our two most highly compensated executive officers who were serving as executive officers at the end of the year ended April 30, 2008; and

   
(c)

up to two additional individuals for whom disclosure would have been provided under (b) but for the fact that the individual was not serving as our executive officer at the end of the year ended April 30, 2008,

who we will collectively refer to as our named executive officers, of our company for the years ended April 30, 2008 and April 30, 2007, are set out in the following summary compensation table, except that no disclosure is provided for any named executive officer, other than our principal executive officer, whose total compensation does not exceed $100,000 for the respective fiscal year:

Director Compensation

Directors of our company may be paid for their expenses incurred in attending each meeting of the directors. In addition to expenses, directors may be paid a sum for attending each meeting of the directors or may receive a stated salary as director. No payment precludes any director from serving our company in any other capacity and being compensated for such service. Members of special or standing committees may be allowed similar reimbursement and compensation for attending committee meetings. During the year ended April 30, 2008, we did not pay any compensation or grant any stock options to our directors.

ITEM 11.         SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS.

The following table sets forth, as of July 23, 2008, certain information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our common stock by each stockholder known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our common

25


stock and by each of our current directors and executive officers. Each person has sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares of common stock. Beneficial ownership consists of a direct interest in the shares of common stock, except as otherwise indicated.

(1)

Under Rule 13d-3, a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship, or otherwise has or shares: (i) voting power, which includes the power to vote, or to direct the voting of shares; and (ii) investment power, which includes the power to dispose or direct the disposition of shares. Certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares). In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided. In computing the percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares outstanding is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person (and only such person) by reason of these acquisition rights. As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of any person as shown in this table does not necessarily reflect the person’s actual ownership or voting power with respect to the number of shares of common stock actually outstanding on July 23, 2008. As of July 23, 2008, there were 69,857,024 shares of our company’s common stock issued and outstanding.

   
(2)

Includes all of the 5,000,000 shares issued under an employment agreement dated October 1, 2006 with James B. Hersch. The 5,000,000 are held in escrow and are released every 3 months, of which 1,500,000 have been released to Mr. Hersch.

Change in Control

We are not aware of any arrangement that might result in a change in control of our company in the future.

Equity Plan Compensation Information

Our company does not currently have a stock option plan or other form of equity plan.

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

No director, executive officer, principal shareholder holding at least 5% of our common shares, or any family member thereof, had any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction, or proposed transaction, during the year ended April 30, 2008, in which the amount involved in the transaction exceeded or exceeds the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of our total assets at the year end for the last three completed fiscal years.

Corporate Governance

We do not have a standing audit committee at the present time. Our board of directors has determined that we do not have a board member that qualifies as an "audit committee financial expert" as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-B. We have determined, however, that Oscar Fernandez is an independent director as defined in section 803 of the Amex Company Guide.

We believe that our members of our board of directors are capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. The board of directors of our company does not believe that it is necessary to have an audit committee because we believe that the functions of an audit committee can be adequately performed by the board of directors. 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 any revenues from operations to date.

Transactions with Independent Directors

We currently do not have any independent directors.

ITEM 14.         PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES

The following table sets forth the fees billed to the Company for professional services rendered by the Company's principal accountant, for the year ended April 30, 2008 and April 30, 2007:

Services 2008 2007
Audit fees $18,910 $9,094
Tax fees        $ Nil     $Nil
All other fees        $ Nil      $Nil
     
Total fees $18,910 $9,094

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 2008 and 2007 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

28


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, who acts as our audit committee, has adopted a policy governing the pre-approval by the board of directors of all services, audit and non-audit, to be provided to our company by our independent auditors. Under the policy, the board of directors has pre-approved the provision by our independent auditors of specific audit, audit related, tax and other non-audit services as being consistent with auditor independence. Requests or applications to provide services that require the specific pre-approval of the board of directors must be submitted to the board of directors by the independent auditors, and the independent auditors must advise the board of directors as to whether, in the independent auditor’s view, the request or application is consistent with the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules on auditor independence.

The board of directors has considered the nature and amount of the fees billed by Webb & Company, P.A. and believes that the provision of the services for activities unrelated to the audit is compatible with maintaining the independence of Webb & Company, P.A.
