Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

June 30,

December 31, 2011



1. Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation

1.            Nature of Business


and Basis of Presentation

Nature of Business

Allied Devices Corporation (“Allied”) and its former subsidiaries were engaged in the manufacture and distribution of standard and custom precision mechanical assemblies and components throughout the United States.


On February 19, 2003, Allied filed a petition for bankruptcy in the United States Bankruptcy Court under Chapter 11 in the Eastern District of New York titled “Allied Devices Corporation, Case No. 03-80962-511.” The company emerged from bankruptcy pursuant to a Bankruptcy Court Order entered on September 10, 2003, with no remaining assets or liabilities and the company name was changed from “Allied Devices Corporation” to “DeepDeep Well Oil & Gas, Inc.” (“Deep Well”).


Upon emergence from Chapter 11 proceedings, Deep Well adopted fresh-start reporting in accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 90-7, Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy Code (SOP 90-7). In connection with the adoption of fresh-start reporting, a new entity was deemed created for financial reporting purposes. For financial reporting purposes, Deep Well adopted the provisions of fresh-start reporting effective September 10, 2003. In adopting the requirements of fresh-start reporting as of September 10, 2003, the company was required to value its assets and liabilities at fair value and eliminate any accumulated deficit as of September 10, 2003. Deep Well emerged from Chapter 11 proceedings with no assets and liabilities pursuant to the Bankruptcy Order. Because the current business, heavy oil and gas exploration, has no relevance to the predecessor company, there is no basis for financial comparisons between Deep Well’s current operations and the predecessor company.


This report has been prepared showing the name “Deep Well Oil & Gas, Inc. (and Subsidiaries)” (“the Company”) and the post split common stock, with $0.001 par value, from inception. The accumulated deficit has been restated to zero and dated September 10, 2003, with the statement of operations to begin on that date.


Basis of Presentation


The interim consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate so as to make the information presented not misleading.


These interim consolidated financial statements follow the same significant accounting policies and methods of application as the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2010.


2011.

These statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the information contained therein. However, the results of operations for the interim periods may not be indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year. It is suggested that these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2010.


2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
2011.

2.            Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Consolidation


These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of two wholly owned subsidiaries: (1) Northern Alberta Oil Ltd. ("Northern"(“Northern”) from the date of acquisition, being June 7, 2005, incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta), Canada; and (2) Deep Well Oil & Gas (Alberta) Ltd., incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta), Canada on September 15, 2005. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.


6

Cash and Cash Equivalents


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


Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company determines allowances for doubtful accounts based on aging of specific accounts. Accounts receivable are stated at the historical carrying amounts net of allowances for doubtful accounts and include only the amounts the Company deems to be collectable.

Property and Equipment


Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation expense is computed using the declining balance method over the estimated useful life of the asset. Only half of the depreciation rate is taken in the year of acquisition. The following is a summary of the depreciation rates used in computing depreciation expense.


expense:

Software -- 100%
Computer equipment -- 55%
Portable work camp -- 30%
Vehicles -- 30%
Road matsMats -- 30%
Wellhead -- 25%
Office furniture and equipment -- 20%
Oilfield Equipment -- 20%
Tanks -- 10%

Expenditures for major repairs and renewals that extend the useful life of the asset are capitalized. Minor repair expenditures are charged to expense as incurred. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the greater of five years or the remaining life of the lease agreement.


Long-Lived Assets


The Company reviews for the impairment of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized when estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition is less than its carrying amount. Impairment is measured as the amount by which the assets’ carrying value exceeds its fair value.


Asset Retirement Obligations


The Company accounts for asset retirement obligations by recording the estimated future cost of the Company’s plugging and abandonment obligations. The asset retirement obligation is recorded when there is a legal obligation associated with the retirement of a tangible long-lived asset and the fair value of the liability can reasonably be estimated. Upon initial recognition of an asset retirement obligation, the Company increases the carrying amount of the long-lived asset by the same amount as the liability. Over time, the liabilities are accreted for the change in their present value through charges to oil and gas production and well operations costs. The initial capitalized costs are depleted over the useful lives of the related assets through charges to depreciation, depletion, and amortization. If the fair value of the estimated asset retirement obligation changes, an adjustment is recorded to both the asset retirement obligation and the asset retirement cost. Revisions in estimated liabilities can result from revisions of estimated inflation rates, escalating retirement costs, and changes in the estimated timing of settling asset retirement obligations. As at June 30,December 31, 2011, asset retirement obligations amount to $424,781.$398,220. The Company has posted bonds, where required, with the Government of Alberta based on the amount the government estimates the costscost of abandonment and reclamation to be.


Foreign Currency Translation


The functional currency of the Canadian subsidiaries is the United States dollar; however,dollar. However, the Canadian subsidiaries transact in Canadian dollars. Consequently, monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured into United States dollars at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date and non-monetary items are remeasured at the rate of exchange in effect when the assets are acquired or obligations incurred. Revenues and expenses are remeasured at the average exchange rate prevailing during the period. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in results of operations.


7

Accounting Methods


Method

The Company recognizes income and expenses based on the accrual method of accounting.


Dividend Policy


The Company has not yet adopted a policy regarding payment of dividends.


Financial, Concentration and Credit Risk


The Company does not have any concentration or related financial credit risk as most of the Company’s funds are maintained in a financial institution which has its deposits fully guaranteed by the Government of Alberta and the accounts receivable are considered to be fully collectible.


collectable.

Income Taxes


The Company utilizes the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between financial reporting and the tax bases of the assets and liabilities, and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. An allowance against deferred tax assets is recorded when it is more likely than not that such tax benefits will not be realized.


Due to the uncertainty regarding the Company’s profitability, a valuation allowance has been recorded against the future tax benefits of its losses and no net benefit has been recorded in the consolidated financial statements.


Revenue Recognition


The Company is in the business of exploring for, developing, producing, and selling crude oil and natural gas. Crude oil revenue is recognized when the product is taken from the storage tanks on the lease and delivered to the purchaser. Natural gas revenues are recognized when the product is delivered into a third party pipeline downstream of the lease. Occasionally the Company may sell specific leases, and the gain or loss associated with these transactions will be shown separately from the profit or loss from the operations or sales of oil and gas products.


Advertising and Market Development


The Company expenses advertising and market development costs as incurred.


Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share


Basic net income (loss) per share amounts are computed based on the weighted average number of shares actually outstanding. Diluted net income (loss) per share amounts are computed using the weighted average number of common shares and common equivalent shares outstanding as if shares had been issued on the exercise of the common share rights, unless the exercise becomes antidilutive and then the basic and diluted per share amounts are the same.


Financial Instruments


Fair Values


Financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts receivable - related party, long term investments, investment in equity securities, accounts payable and accounts payable - related parties and asset retirement obligations.parties. The fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying value because of the short-term maturity of these items unless otherwise noted. The fair value of the investment in equity securities cannot be determined as the market value is not readily obtainable. The equity securities are reported using the cost method.


Environmental Requirements


At the report date, environmental requirements related to the oil and gas properties acquired are unknown and therefore an estimate of any future cost cannot be made.

Share-Based Compensation


The Company accounts for stock options granted to directors, officers, employees and non-employees using the fair value method of accounting. The fair value of stock options for directors, officers and employees are calculated at the date of grant and is expensed over the vesting period of the options on a straight-line basis. For non-employees, the fair value of the options is measured on the earlier of the date at which the counterparty performance is complete or the date at which the performance commitment is reached. The Company uses the Black-Scholes model to calculate the fair value of stock options issued, which requires certain assumptions to be made at the time the options are awarded, including the expected life of the option, the expected number of granted options that will vest and the expected future volatility of the stock. The Company reflects estimates of award forfeitures at the time of grant and revises in subsequent periods, if necessary, when forfeiture rates are expected to change.


Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2010-06, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) - Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements.” This ASU requires some new disclosures and clarifies some existing disclosure requirements about fair value measurement as set forth in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820 (formerly SFAS No. 157). ASU 2010-06 amends ASC 820 (formerly SFAS No. 157) to now require: (1) a reporting entity should disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers; and (2) in the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs, a reporting entity should present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements. In addition, ASU 2010-06 clarifies the requirements of existing disclosures. ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted. The adoption of these accounting standards has not had a significant effect on the financial statement disclosures.

Estimates and Assumptions


Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of the assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses. Actual results could vary from the estimates that were used in preparing these consolidated financial statements.


Significant estimates by management include valuations of oil and gas properties, valuation of accounts receivable, useful lives of long-lived assets, asset retirement obligations, valuation of share-based compensation, and the realizability of future income taxes.

The Government of Alberta owns this land and the Company has acquired the rights to perform oil and gas activities on these lands. If the Company meets the conditions of the 15-year leases the Company will then be permitted to drill on and produce oil from the land into perpetuity. These conditions give the Company until the expiration of the leases to meet the following requirements on its primary oil sands leases:


a)drill 68 wells throughout the 68 sections; or

b)drill 44 wells within the 68 sections and having acquired and processed 2 miles of seismic on each other undrilled section.

a)      drill 68 wells throughout the 68 sections; or

b)      drill 44 wells within the 68 sections and having acquired and processed 2 miles of seismic on each other undrilled section.

The Company plans to meet the second of these conditions. As at June 30,December 31, 2011, the companyCompany has an interest in ten wells, which can be counted towards this obligation.


these requirements.

The Company has identified 2 other wells drilled on these leases, which may be included in the satisfaction of this requirement. The Company has also acquired and processed 25 miles of seismic on the leases.


leases, which can be counted towards these requirements.

The Company follows the successful efforts method of accounting for costs of oil and gas properties. Under this method, only those explorationsexploration and development costs that relate directly to specific oil and gas reserves are capitalized; costs that do not relate directly to specific reserves are charged to expense. Producing, non-producing and unproven properties are assessed annually, or more frequently as economic events indicate, for potential impairment.


This consists of comparing the carrying value of the asset with the asset’s expected future undiscounted cash flows without interest costs.flows. Estimates of expected future cash flows represent management’s best estimate based on reasonable and supportable assumptions. Proven oil and gas properties are reviewed for impairment on a field-by-field basis. No impairment losses were recognized for the period ended June 30,December 31, 2011 (September 30, 20102011 - $nil).


Capitalized costs of proven oil and gas properties are depleted using the unit-of-production method when the property is placed in production.


Substantially all of the Company’s oil and gas activities are conducted jointly with others. The accounts reflect only the Company’s proportionate interest in such activities.


On November 26, 2007, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Signet Energy Inc. and Andora Energy Corporation (at the time “Signet” was a 100% owned subsidiary company of Andora Energy Corporation) and resolved their differences and certain collateral matters. The settlement includes but is not limited to:

a)The Farmout Agreement dated February 25, 2005, and the Amended Farmout Agreement, being effectively terminated concurrently with the execution of the settlement;

b)Signet being regarded as having earned a 40% working interest in a total of twelve sections;

c)Signet transferring registered title to 57.5 unearned sections of the farmout lands, as defined in the Farmout Agreement, back to the Company;

d)Signet having acknowledged that the Company is not responsible for any royalty assumed by the Company on behalf of Signet in the Farmout Agreement; and

e)A joint discontinuance of the remaining minor litigation issues amongst all the parties.

On April 30, 2009, 1.5 sections of previously owned leases reverted back to the provincial government.

4.            Capitalization of an additional investmentCosts Incurred in Oil & Gas Activities

The Company accounts for the cost of exploratory wells and continues to capitalize exploratory well costs after the completion of drilling as long as sufficient progress is being made in assessing the oil sands reserves to ourjustify its completion as a producing well.

For the period ending December 31, 2011, the Company’s management determined that sufficient progress has been made in assessing its oil sands reserves for continued capitalization of exploratory well costs. In relation to this sufficient progress assessment of its oil sands project the Company considered among other criteria; long lead times in getting regulatory approval for oil sands thermal recovery projects, road bans, winter access only properties and governmental and environmental regulations which can and often delay development of oil sands projects. Because of these and other factors, the Company’s oil sands project can take significantly longer to complete than regular conventional drilling programs for lighter oil. To date the Company’s geological, engineering and economic studies continue to lead them to believe that there is continuing progress toward bringing the project to commercial production. Therefore, the Company has continued to capitalize its costs associated with its oil sands project.

For the Company’s exploratory wells, drilling costs are capitalized on the balance sheet under “Oil and Gas Properties” line item, pending a determination of whether potentially economic oil sands reserves have been discovered by the drilling effort to justify completion of the find as a producing well. The Company periodically assesses the exploration and drilling capitalized costs for impairment and once a determination is made that a well is of no potential economic value, the costs related to that well are expensed as dry hole and reported in exploration expense.

The following table illustrates capitalized costs relating to oil and gas properties– producing activities for two periods ended December 31, 2011 and September 30, 2011:

Measurement Uncertainty


The Black-Scholes option-pricingoption pricing model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. Stock options and the warrants attached to the units issued by the Company are non-transferable. Option pricing models require the input of subjective assumptions including expected share price volatility. The fair value estimate can vary materially as a result of changes in the assumptions.

The following assumptions are used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model:

Expected Term – Expected term of 5 years represents the period that the Company’s stock-based awards are expected to be outstanding.

Expected Volatility – Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of the Company’s stock, adjusted where determined by management for unusual and non-representative stock price activity not expected to recur. The expected volatility used was 116%.

Expected Dividend – The Black-Scholes valuation model calls for a single expected dividend yield as an input. The Company currently pays no dividends and does not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.

Risk-Free Interest rate – The Company bases the risk-free interest rate on the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with an equivalent remaining term. The risk-free rate used was 2.07%.

IGM Resources Corp vs. Deep Well Oil & Gas, Inc., et al


On March 10, 2005, I.G.M. Resources Corp. (the “Plaintiff”(“the Plaintiff”) filed against Classic Energy Inc., 979708 Alberta Ltd., Deep Well Oil & Gas, Inc., Nearshore Petroleum Corporation, Mr. Steven P. Gawne, Rebekah Gawne, Gawne Family Trust, 1089144 Alberta Ltd., John F. Brown, Diane Lynn McClaflin, Cassandra Doreen Brown, Elissa Alexandra Brown, Brown Family Trust, Priority Exploration Ltd., Northern Alberta Oil Ltd. and Gordon Skulmoski (the “Defendant”(“the Defendant”) a Statement of Claim in the Court of Queen's Bench of Alberta Judicial District of Calgary. This suit is a part of a series of lawsuits or actions undertaken by the Plaintiff against some of the other above Defendants.


defendants.

The Plaintiff was and still is a minority shareholder of 979708 Alberta Ltd. ("979708"). 979708 was in the business of discovering, assembling and acquiring oil and gas prospects. In 2002 and 2003, 979708 acquired oil and gas prospects in the Sawn Lake area of Alberta. On or about the 14th of July, 2003, all or substantially all the assets of 979708 were sold to Classic Energy Inc. The Plaintiff claims the value of the assets sold was far in excess of the value paid for those assets. On April 23, 2004, Northern Alberta Oil Ltd., purchased Classic Energy Inc.'s assets, some of which are under dispute by the Plaintiff. On June 7, 2005, Deep Well acquired all of the common shares of Northern thereby giving Deep Well an indirect beneficial interest in the assets in which the Plaintiff is claiming an interest.


The Plaintiff seeks an order setting aside the transaction and returning the assets to 979708, compensation in the amount of $15,000,000 Cdn, a declaration of trust declaring that Northern and Deep Well hold all of the assets acquired from 979708 and any property acquired by use of such assets, or confidential information of 979708, in trust for the Plaintiff.


This lawsuit has been stayed pending the outcome of the other litigation by the Plaintiff against some of the above Defendantsdefendants other than Deep Well and Northern. The Company believes the claims are without merit and will vigorously defend against them. As at June 30,December 31, 2011, no contingent liability has been recorded, as the Company believes that a successful outcome for the Plaintiff is remote.


Hardie & Kelly vs. Brown et al


On June 2, 2006, Hardie and Kelly (the “Plaintiff”(“the Plaintiff”), Trustee of the Estate of John Forbes Brown, filed against John Forbes Brown, a bankrupt, Diane Lynn McClaflin, 1089144 Alberta Ltd., and Deep Well (the “Defendants”(“the Defendants”) an Amended Statement of Claim in the Court of Queen's Bench of Alberta Judicial District of Calgary. John Forbes Brown was a former officer and then sub-contractor of Deep Well before and during the time he was assigned into bankruptcy on July 12, 2004. The Plaintiff claims, in addition to other issues unrelated to Deep Well, that John Forbes Brown received 4,812,500 Deep Well shares as a result of his employment at Deep Well and that John Forbes Brown improperly assigned these shares to the numbered company as a ruse entered into on the eve of insolvency by John Forbes Brown in order to facilitate the hiding of assets from his creditors and the trustee of his bankruptcy. The Plaintiff further claims that on August 23, 2004, John Forbes Brown advised the Plaintiff that he in fact owned the above shares and did not disclose this ownership in his filed bankruptcy statement of affairs.


The Plaintiff further claims that John Forbes Brown would lodge the said shares with his lawyer until such time as these shares could be transferred to the Plaintiff. The Plaintiff further claims that, unbeknownst to them, John Forbes Brown surreptitiously removed the shares from his lawyer's office and delivered them to Deep Well so that Deep Well could cancel them. The Plaintiff claims that Deep Well conspired with John Forbes Brown to defraud the creditors of John Forbes Brown by taking receipt and cancelling the said shares. The Plaintiff claims that consideration paid by Deep Well for the said shares was invested in the home owned by John Forbes Brown and his wife. The Plaintiff seeks: (1) an accounting of the proceeds and benefits derived by the dealings of the shares; (2) the home owned by John Forbes Brown and his wife, to be held in trust on behalf of the Plaintiff and an accounting of proceeds related to this trust; (3) damages from the Defendants because of their actions; (4) a judgement for $15,612,645 Cdn; (5) an order to sell John Forbes Brown's home; and (6) interest and costs.


Deep Well plans to vigorously defend itself against the Plaintiff's claims. As at June 30,December 31, 2011, no contingent liability has been recorded, as the Company believes that a successful outcome for the Plaintiff is remote.

Results of Operations for the Three and Nine Months Ended June 30,December 31, 2011


We are an exploration stage company and as such do not have commercial production aton any of our properties and, accordingly, we currently do not generate cash from operations. Since the inception of our current business plan, our operations have consisted primarily of various exploration and start-up activities relating to our properties, which included acquiring lease holdings by acquisitions and public offerings, seeking investors, locating joint venture partners, acquiring and analyzing seismic data, engaging various firms to comply with leasehold conditions and environmental regulations as well as project management, and developing our long term business strategies. For the ninethree months ended June 30,December 31, 2011, and for the comparable period in the prior year, we generated no revenues from operations.

For the quarter ended December 31, 2011, our general and administrative expenses increased by $86,204 from operations for the three monthsquarter ended June 30, 2011, decreased by $48,220 compared to the three month period ended June 30,December 31, 2010, and our net loss and comprehensive loss from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2011, decreased by $58,896 compared to the three month period ended June 30, 2010. This differencewhich increase was primarily due to a decrease(i) $41,887 of $35,282 in general and administrative expenses, which declined primarily as a result of a decline in legal fees. For the three months ended June 30, 2011, our depreciation and accretion expense decreased by $12,938 from the comparable period ending June 30, 2010, due to a decrease in depreciation on our assets.


Our net loss from operations for the nine months ended June 30, 2011, increased by $44,703 compared to the nine month period ended June 30, 2010 and our net loss and comprehensive loss from operations for the nine months ended June 30, 2011, increased by $40,538 compared to the nine month period ended June 30, 2010. This difference was primarily due to an $83,944 increase in general and administrative expenses primarily as a result of an increase in share-based compensation charged to expense, which was related to vested stock options whichthat were granted to our directors, and (ii) $47,153 for operations charged to expense primarily for engineering fees to further evaluate our properties. For the quarter ending December 31, 2011, our general and administrative expenses, excluding share-based compensation expense of $47,887 and $47,153 in operations charged to expense, were $219,371. For the quarter ended December 31, 2010 our secondgeneral and administrative expenses were $222,207. No share based compensation expense was recorded in the quarter of 2011.end December 31, 2010. Based on this analysis our general and administrative costs remained relatively the same compared to our December 31, 2010 quarter-end. On March 23, 2011, weour Board of Directors granted each of our directors’directors, Dr. Horst A. Schmid, Mr. Said Arrata, Mr. Satya Das, Mr. David Roff, Mr. Curtis James Sparrow and Mr. Malik Youyou, options to purchase 450,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.14 per common share, 150,000 vesting immediately and half of the remaining options vesting one-third on each of March 23, 2012, and March 23, 2013. Each option will expireone-third on March 23, 2013, with an expiration date of March 23, 2016.

For further information, see Note 11 in our consolidated financial statements included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ending June 30, 2011. Also, for the nine monthsquarter ended June 30,December 31, 2011, our depreciation and accretion expense decreased by $39,241 from$9,583 compared to the comparable period ending June 30,quarter ended December 31, 2010, which was primarily due to a decreasethe depreciating value of our assets. Depreciation expense is computed using the declining balance method over the estimated useful life of the asset. In compliance with our accounting policy, only half of the depreciation is taken in depreciation on our assets.the year of acquisition. No significant asset purchases were made in the nine monthsquarter ended June 30, 2011 and there was no significant change in accretion expense for the nine months ended June 30,December 31, 2011.


For the three monthsquarter ended June 30, 2011, we recorded $4,650 in rental and other income, which was income earned from the rental of roads located on our oil sands leases. In the comparable three months ended June 30, 2010, we issued credit memos to other operators for previously invoiced road use rental agreements, which were subsequently canceled.


For the nine months ended June 30,December 31, 2011, rental and other income increased by $6,211 from$15,103 compared to the comparable period ending June 30,quarter ended December 31, 2010, which was primarily due to an increase in income earned from the rentalsubleasing a portion of roads located on our oil sands leases.

For the three monthsquarter ended June 30,December 31, 2011, interest income increased by $1,392 from$450 compared to the comparable period ending June 30,quarter ended December 31, 2010, which was primarily due to interest received on term deposits.


For the nine months ended June 30, 2011,an increase in interest income decreasedreceived from our cash held in banks.

As a result of the above transactions, our net loss and comprehensive loss from operations for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 increased by $1,858 from$61,098 compared to the comparable period ending June 30, 2010, whichquarter ended December 31, 2010. As discussed above, this increase was primarily due to not receiving interest from term deposits we had in the prior comparable periodshare-based compensation charged to expense and interest owedoperations charged to us on goods and services tax credits held by Canada Revenue Agency.

Operations


Deep Well, through its subsidiaries Northern Alberta Oil Ltd. (“Northern”) and Deep Well Oil & Gas (Alberta) Ltd., currently has an 80% working interest in 56 contiguous sections ofon seven oil sands leases where we are the operator and a 40% working interest in an additional 12 contiguous sections ofon two oil sands leases in the Peace River oil sands area of Alberta, Canada. OurThese nine oil sands leases cover 43,015 gross acres (17,408 gross hectares) with Deep Well having 31,376 net acres (12,698 net hectares).

Currently we have in place joint operating agreements with two other joint interest partners to manage our joint oil sands leases, all based on the 1990 Canadian Association of land.


Previously,Petroleum Landmen (“CAPL”) Operating Procedure. Under these agreements our joint oil sands leases were evaluated seismically, geologically and by drilling to establish the continuity and the distribution of the crude bituminous-bearing Bluesky reservoir zone across our joint lands.

During our winter drilling season of 2008/2009 we successfully completed a drilling program and drilledmet our objectives by drilling six vertical wells.wells, three of which were drilled on our oil sands permit in order to provide technical data to support the required Alberta Department of Energy regulation to convert our 5-year oil sands permit into a 15-year primary lease. The other three wells were drilled further to the North of any of our existing wells confirming the continuation of the main reservoir trend to the northwest. These wells were drilled to a depth of approximately 700 meters each. Along with the acquisition of road infrastructure on our properties, we acquired a well on our oil sands lease that was previously drilled and cased for heavy oil production in the Bluesky reservoir zone by an unrelated third party. In addition, we have ana 40% working interest in three horizontal wells, which were previously drilled by our former farmout partner and an interest in two wells that we acquired. Since then we have been evaluatingare pending further evaluation and the options for production available to us to determine the preferable course of action. Drilling on 80% owned lands has opened new avenues for testing and further development of the Sawn Lake project. The focusan exploitation plan with our joint interest partner. All of our drilling program is to define the heavy oil reservoir to establish reservesexploratory wells were logged, cored and to determine the best technology under which oil can be produced from the Sawn Lake project in order to initiate production and generate cash flow.


analyzed by independent expert service providers.

In September 2009, we submitted an application to the Alberta Energy Resources Conservation Board (“ERCB”) for a commercial bitumen recovery scheme to evaluate the 12-14-092-13W5 wellone of our wells for potential development using CyclicCyclical Steam Stimulation (“CSS”), and. Over a year later added the 6-22-092-13W5 well to the application. Onin October 14, 2010, this application was approved by the ERCBERCB. We have since put together a team of reservoir, drilling and completions engineers, along with project management and environmental consultants to conduct one CSS production test on oneassist us in the development of the wells to evaluate the oil sands resourceour pilot project using this secondaryin-situ recovery technology. The CSS process involves steam injection into a well for a period of up to 3060 days, potentially a “soaking” period of up to 5 days, followed by production of heavy oil for up to 5060 days or more. This CSS production testthermal recovery scheme is not only for the production of heavy oil from the Bluesky reservoir zone of our Sawn Lake project but it will also aid in quantifying oilproven and probable reserves of our Sawn Lake project.

In July 2010 Chapman Petroleum Engineering Ltd. performed anand June 2011, it was determined through two separate independent technical evaluationreservoir engineering firms that our exploratory wells have found sufficient quantities of the heavy oil properties on somein place to justify the completion of our Sawn Lake properties. The reportwells for future production. It was also confirmed the suitability of thethat our properties are suitable for employing thermal recovery methods on them. In addition, Chapman Petroleum Engineering Ltd. identified a newanother hydrocarbon bearing zone was identified up-hole from the Bluesky reservoir zone presently being concentrated on by our Company. This secondary heavy oil zone is in the Peace River formation. It is a clastic unit of lower cretaceous age found at a shallower depth than the Bluesky zone. It is approximately 35 meters thick and is a massive, very fine to medium grain sandstone conformably deposited on the Harmon Shale. We intend to continue the development of the larger Bluesky reservoir and at the same time we intend to evaluate this newly discovered reservoir by coring future wells withinwhere they intersect this zone.

On November 9,

In December 2010 and January 2011, two separate independent reservoir engineering firms prepared National Instrument 51-101 (a Canadian evaluation engineering standard) compliant resource appraisal reports for one of our joint venture partners. These reports evaluated the resource of some of our Sawn Lake joint properties and included an economic evaluation of the oil sands leases in the Sawn Lake area based on using thermal recovery to exploit the resource.

In 2011, we completedevaluated the options for production available to us to determine the preferable course of action for our Sawn Lake project. Drilling on 80% owned lands has opened new avenues for testing and further development of our Sawn Lake project. We have worked with two private placement financingsindependent reservoir engineering companies to prepare a reservoir modeling simulation studies to determine the preferred method for aggregate gross cash proceedsus to develop our reservoir. Following these reservoir models and the recommendation of $2,050,000. Weour reservoir engineers, we intend to use the majority of these proceeds from these private placements to conduct engineering, construction and other operations fordevelop a thermal pilot project on our recently approved CSS production test.


We haveproperties, followed by a commercial expansion project. To further this goal in 2011, we engaged environmental consultants to proceed with the environmental studies mandated by Alberta environmental regulations before we can embark on a five to seven well productionour proposed thermal pilot project. The development progress of our properties is governed by several factors, such as federal and provincial governmental regulations.

Our proposed pilot project will be located on the Northern half of section 10-92-13W5 and has good road access on most of Penn West Petroleum Ltd.’s (“Penn West”) hard packed roads. Section 10-92-13W5 is approximately 3 kilometers away from the nearest Penn West hard packed road. We intend to upgrade our existing winter road to section 10-92-13W5 to an all-weather road. We intend to acquire the remaining road and build it as an interim step toward full-scale commercial production. Our geological studies lead usall-weather road up to conclude thatthe proposed pilot project site. We plan to upgrade and or build the all-weather road to our working interest can support full commercial production. We are committed to employing best practices in environmental stewardship to assure sustainable developmentproposed pilot project well site location during the initial phase of our in-situ heavy oil holdings.

Our cash and cash equivalents for the period ended June 30,ending December 31, 2011 was $1,030,800$507,733 compared to $227,185$1,775,345 from the quarter ended December 31, 2010, which decrease was primarily due to cash used to pay for the comparable period ended June 30, 2010.costs relating to our CSS pilot project, which included engineering fees to evaluate our properties and general office expenses. Since March 10, 2005, we have financed our business operations through a loan, fees derived from the farmout of some of our lands, private offerings of our common stock and other securities, and the sale of our common stock upon the exercise of certain warrants, realizing gross proceeds of approximately $21.6 million in cash. In some of these offerings, we sold units comprised of common stock and warrants to purchase additional common stock, and as a result of these offerings, we currently have an aggregate of 57,462,81030,324,513 warrants outstanding as of December 31, 2011 with exercise prices ranging from $0.105 to $1.20 per share. Theseshare and are exercisable into 30,324,513 common shares of our Company stock. The warrants have expiration dates which range from August 14, 2011June 22, 2012 to November 9, 2013. If all of these warrants are exercised we may realize aggregate cash proceeds of approximately $22.9$4.3 million. However, the warrant holders have complete discretion as to when and if the warrants are exercised before they expire and we cannot guarantee that the warrant holders will exercise any of the warrants.


For our long-term operations we anticipate that, among other alternatives, we may raise funds during the next 24 months through sales of our equity securities. We also note that if we issue more shares of our common stock, our stockholders may experience dilution in the percentage of their ownership of our common stock. We may not be able to raise sufficient funding from stock sales for long-term operations and if so, we may be forced to delay our business plans until adequate funding is obtained. We believe debt financing will not be an alternative for funding our operations, as we are an exploration stage company and due to the risky nature of our business.


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements


We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
