NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

Gulf Western Petroleum Corporation (“Gulf Western”) was incorporated on February 21, 2006 in the State of Nevada as “Georgia Exploration, Inc.”. The name was changed to Gulf Western on March 8, 2007 . Gulf Western is engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of oil and natural gas reserves in the United States . Gulf Western holds oil and gas lease interests in Texas , Kansas and Kentucky . Gulf Western holds interests in eleven producing wells located in Dewitt and Lavaca County, Texas; it holds proved undeveloped reserves in Wharton County, Texas; and holds oil and gas lease interests in approximately 8,000 acres in Elk County, Kansas that comprise a supply and infrastructure development program in Southeast Kansas. Gulf Western also holds oil and gas lease interests in the State of Kentucky that are exploratory in nature.

On January 3, 2007 , Gulf Western and Wharton Resources Corp. (“Wharton” or “Wharton Corp.”) consummated a merger that was effected through a reverse merger with the oil and gas lease interests and reserves held by Wharton becoming the primary core assets of Gulf Western. Concurrent with the merger, Wharton’s executive management and directors assumed control and responsibility for Gulf Western’s activities and its strategic direction. The merger effected a change in control of Gulf Western and immediately following the merger, Wharton’s former stockholders held approximately 71.4% of Gulf Western’s issued and outstanding common shares.

For Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") reporting purposes, the merger between Gulf Western and Wharton was treated as a reverse merger with Wharton being the “accounting acquirer” and, accordingly, it assumed Gulf Western’s reporting obligations with the SEC. In accordance with SEC requirements, the historical consolidated financial statements and related disclosures presented herein for the period prior to the date of merger (i.e., January 3, 2007 ) are those of Wharton since its inception on January 20, 2005 . In conjunction with the merger, each outstanding share of Wharton was converted into 25,000 common shares in Gulf Western with a total of 30,000,000 common shares issued to the former Wharton stockholders. Of the 27,645,000 shares of Gulf Western outstanding at the time of the merger, 15,645,000 shares of Gulf Western’s outstanding common stock were cancelled concurrent with the closing of the merger. Immediately following the merger, a total of 42,000,000 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding. Wharton assumed the net liabilities of Gulf Western totaling $66,631 which were recorded as an expense on the date of merger.

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Gulf Western have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the SEC, and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in Gulf Western’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB/A filed with the SEC on April 21, 2008 . In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the consolidated financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited consolidated financial statements for the most recent fiscal year ending August 31, 2007 as reported in its Form 10-KSB/A have been omitted.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of presentation

Gulf Western’s consolidated balance sheets and related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the periods from inception through May 31, 2008 are presented in U.S. dollars and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Upon Gulf Western’s commencement of oil and gas revenues in December 2007 from its Shamrock and Brushy Creek Projects located in Texas , it exited from the development stage during the second fiscal quarter ended February 29, 2008 . Accordingly, Gulf Western no longer prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 7, Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises.

Use of estimates

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

Management believes that it is reasonably possible the following material estimates affecting the consolidated financial statements could significantly change in the coming year: (1) estimates of proved oil and gas reserves, and (2) forecast forward price curves for natural gas and crude oil. The oil and gas industry in the United States has historically experienced substantial commodity price volatility, and such volatility is expected to continue in the future. Commodity prices affect the level of reserves that are considered commercially recoverable; significantly influence Gulf Western’s current and future expected cash flows; and impact the valuation of proved reserves.

Accounts receivable

Gulf Western routinely assesses the recoverability of all material trade, joint interest and other receivables. Gulf Western accrues a reserve on a receivable when, based on the judgment of management, it is probable that a receivable will not be collected and the amount of any reserve may be reasonably estimated. Actual write-offs may exceed the recorded allowance. No allowance for doubtful accounts was considered necessary at May 31, 2008 or at August 31, 2007 .

Oil and gas properties

Gulf Western follows the full cost method of accounting for its oil and natural gas properties, whereby all costs incurred in connection with the acquisition, exploration for and development of oil and natural gas reserves are capitalized. Such costs include lease acquisition, geological and geophysical activities, rentals on non-producing leases, drilling, completing and equipping of oil and gas wells, and asset retirement costs. Disposition of oil and gas properties are accounted for as a reduction of capitalized costs, with no gain or loss recognized unless such adjustment would significantly alter the relationship between capital costs and proved reserves of oil and gas, in which case the gain or loss is recognized to income.

Depletion and depreciation of proved oil and gas properties is calculated on the units-of-production method based upon estimates of proved reserves. Such calculations include the estimated future costs to developed proved reserves. Oil and gas reserves are converted to a common unit of measure based on the energy content of 6 Mcf of gas to one barrel of oil. Costs of undeveloped properties are not included in the costs subject to amortization. These costs are assessed periodically for impairment.

Ceiling test

In applying the full cost method, Gulf Western performs an impairment test (ceiling test) at each reporting date, whereby the carrying value of property and equipment is compared to the estimated present value of its proved reserves discounted at a 10-percent interest rate of future net revenues based on current economic and operating conditions, plus the cost of properties not being amortized plus the lower of cost or fair market value of unproved properties included in costs being amortized, less the income tax effects related to book and tax basis differences of the properties. As of May 31, 2008 no impairment of oil and gas properties was determined to be required.

Oil and gas properties, amortization of capital investment

Gulf Western holds oil and gas interests in Texas , Kansas and Kentucky pursuant to lease agreements. Gulf Western has interests in eleven wells that had production during the nine months ending May 31, 2008 . These wells are located in Dewitt County , Texas (Shamrock Project) and Lavaca County , Texas (Brushy Creek Project). Gulf Western amortizes capital costs incurred in its acquisition, geological and geophysical, drilling and development activities on a unit-of-production basis. The unit rate is derived from actual capital expenditures incurred plus future estimated development costs for proved reserves, divided by total estimated proved recoverable reserves. The amortization rate is applied to actual quantities of production sold from Gulf Western’s interests in the wells. Reserve quantities used in the derivation of the amortization rate are based on estimated proved recoverable reserves as developed by third party petroleum engineers engaged by Gulf Western to conduct periodic evaluations of its proved oil and gas reserve quantities. The periodic reserve evaluations of Gulf Western’s estimated proved oil and gas reserves are commissioned by Gulf Western at least annually, or more frequently if technical or commercial results warrant an interim update to the reserve estimates. As estimated proved recoverable reserves are assessed, changes in estimated total proved recoverable reserves result in an adjustment to the amortize rate used by Gulf Western to amortize its full cost pool capital investments over actual production.

The amortization of the oil and gas properties not classified as proved begins when the oil and gas properties become proved, or their values become impaired. Gulf Western assesses the realizability of its properties not characterized as proved on at least an annual basis or when there is or has been an indication that an impairment in value may have occurred. The impairment of properties not classified as proved is assessed based on management’s intention with regard to future exploration and development of individually significant properties, and Gulf Western’s ability to source capital funding required to finance such exploration and development. If the result of an assessment indicates that a property is impaired, the amount of the impairment is added to the capitalized costs in its full cost pool and they are amortized over proved reserves.

Debt

Gulf Western accounts for debt at fair value and recognizes interest expense for accrued interest payable under the terms of the debt instrument. Principal and interest payments due within one year are classified as current, whereas principal and interest payments for periods beyond one year are classified as long term. Beneficial conversion features of debt are valued and the related amounts recorded as discounts on the debt. Discounts are amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the debt. Any unamortized discount upon settlement or conversion of debt is recognized immediately as interest expense.

Asset retirement obligations

In accordance with SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations” Gulf Western records the fair value of a liability for asset retirement obligations (“ ARO ”) in the period in which an obligation is incurred and a corresponding increase in the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. The present value of the estimated asset retirement cost is capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset and is depreciated over the useful life of the asset. The settlement date fair value is discounted at Gulf Western’s credit adjusted risk-free rate in determining the abandonment liability. The abandonment liability is accreted with the passage of time to its expected settlement fair value. At May 31, 2008 , Gulf Western has recorded an asset retirement obligation of $52,536, and accretion expense associated with the obligation totaled $534 and $1,587 for the three and nine months ending, respectively. No liabilities were settled during the period.

Revenue and cost recognition

Gulf Western uses the sales method to account for sales of crude oil and natural gas. Under this method, revenues are recognized based on actual volumes of oil and gas sold to purchasers. The volumes sold may differ from the volumes to which Gulf Western is entitled based on our interest in the properties. These differences create imbalances which are recognized as a liability only when the imbalance exceeds the estimate of remaining reserves. Costs associated with production are expensed in the period incurred.

NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN

Gulf Western has incurred operating losses since its inception and has a working capital deficit of $4,918,844 at May 31, 2008 , and has principal repayments totaling $3,700,000 due on September 10, 2008 related to the convertible secured notes issued on September 10, 2007. These factors raise substantial doubt about Gulf Western’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Gulf Western’s ability to achieve and maintain profitability and sustainable positive cash flows is dependent on its ability to source sufficient financing to fund the acquisition, drilling and development of existing and future oil and gas interests. To date, Gulf Western has raised a combination of secured and unsecured debt and equity financing to fund the development of its projects. Management is seeking financing that it believes would allow Gulf Western to repay its current debt; sustain commercial operations and to fund capital investments necessary to at least maintain its existing oil and natural gas reserve base. There are no assurances that Gulf Western will be able to obtain additional financing from investors or private lenders and, if available, such financing may not be on commercial terms acceptable to Gulf Western or its stakeholders. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 4 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Mound Branch Project, Elk County , Kansas

Gulf Western issued 4,039,053 common shares to Orbit Energy, LLC (“Orbit”) and a $2,000,000 three-year unsecured note for the January 30, 2007 purchase of the Mound Branch Project. Pursuant to the purchase and sale agreement, the issuance of the common shares to Orbit for the acquisition were subject to ratable surrender if Orbit did not deliver an independent report to Gulf Western assessing the fair value of the purchased assets to be at least equal to the $6.8 million purchase price paid to Orbit. The purchase and sale agreement provided for Orbit to deliver an independent valuation report to Gulf Western no later than January 30, 2008, and any surrendered shares were to be cancelled and returned to Gulf Western’s treasury.

On January 30, 2008, Gulf Western agreed to extend Orbit’s delivery of an independent valuation report for three months until April 30, 2008. In connection with the extension, Orbit agreed to defer the quarterly interest payment due on January 30, 2008 under the $2.0 million convertible note until April 30, 2008. As of July 15, 2008, Orbit has not complied with the terms and conditions of the Mound Branch purchase and sale agreement requiring the delivery of a valuation report confirming the fair value of Mound Branch acquisition. No further extensions for delivery of the valuation report have been granted by Gulf Western, and no further interest payments have been made to Orbit on the $2.0 million unsecured note. Until Orbit complies with the contract provisions, it is management’s intention not to remit any further interest payments to Orbit on the note. Gulf Western may be required to commission a third party valuation of the Mound Branch acquisition, if Orbit does not comply with the provisions of the purchase and sale agreement.

At May 31, 2008 accrued interest on the Orbit unsecured note totals $116,712.

Advances from Stockholders

Periodically, principal shareholders who are also officers and directors of Gulf Western make loans to the Company to fund operating cash equirements. Advances from shareholders totaling $120,000 at August 31, 2007 were repaid in November 2007. At May 31, 2008 advances from shareholders total $180,996.

Related Party Payables

Oakcrest Prospect Amerpro Participation Agreement

On June 10, 2008, Gulf Western entered into a Participation and Exclusivity Agreement (“Agreement”) with Amerpro Industries US Ltd. (“Amerpro”) pursuant to which, among other things, Gulf Western granted Amerpro the exclusive right to participate in the initial four wells drilled on Gulf Western’s Oakcrest oil and gas lease acreage held in Wharton Coutny, Texas, and granted Amerpro the option to participate in additional wells in the Oakcrest prospect upon exercise of their option.

Under the terms of the Agreement, Amerpro is responsible for 100% of the costs to drill, complete and connect each commercial well, and will earn an 86.175% working interest in the wells and surrounding acreage with a 62.046% net revenue interest in and to each commercial well. Gulf Western retains a 9.575% carried working interest in the Oakcrest prospect wells, and upon Amerpro’s 110% payout of each commercial well, Gulf Western is entitled to an additional 15.0% “back-in” to each well (10.8% net revenue interest). The Agreement provides for closing on or before August 1, 2008, or such other date as may be agreed by Gulf Western and Amerpro. The Agreement is subject to certain conditions including the completion of due diligence and TSX Venture Exchange approval.

The Agreement provides for Amerpro to pay $1,200,000 as a prospect generation fee to Gulf Western, of which $100,000 has been received by Gulf Western. The remaining $1,100,000 is due on closing. Amerpro also has the option to buy the right to participate in additional wells beyond the four initial prospect wells by the remittance of an option fee of $3,700,000 due on or prior to closing. If the option is exercised, the option fee is payable directly to Metage Funds Limited and NCIM Limited to satisfy Gulf Western’s indebtedness to them under the one-year convertible secured notes that are secured by substantially all of Gulf Western’s assets, and are scheduled to mature on September 10, 2008. Prior to Closing on August 1, 2008, Amerpro may terminate the Agreement and forfeit their initial $100,000.

Should the Amerpro Agreement close, the $1,200,000 prospect generation fee and the $3,700,000 related to its option on the remaining wells will be accounted for in accordance with the full cost method of accounting whereby proceeds from the disposition of oil and gas properties are treated as a reduction to capitalized cost with no gain or loss recognized unless the adjustment would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves, in which case the gain or loss will be recognized to income.

NOTE 6 – SECURED CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE

Senior Secured Convertible Notes Payable

On September 10, 2007 , Gulf Western entered into a Security Purchase Agreement (the “ SPA ”) with two lenders under which Gulf Western borrowed a total of $3,700,000 under Senior Secured Convertible Notes (the “Convertible Notes”) with Metage Funds Limited (“Metage”) and NCIM Limited (“NCIM”). Gulf Western borrowed $3,200,000 from Metage and $500,000 from NCIM. Pursuant to the SPA , Gulf Western issued 1,500,000 common shares and issued 3,461,538 warrants to purchase shares of common stock in Gulf Western at an exercise price of $0.26 per share for a period of five years. The Convertible Notes and related interest are convertible into common shares of Gulf Western at a price of $0.39 per share at or before maturity. The Convertible Notes bear interest at 15% per annum, and mature on September 10, 2008 . Under the terms of the Convertible Notes interest for the first six months was due on March 10, 200 8, and thereafter Gulf Western is remitting interest to Metage and NCIM on the Convertible Notes on a monthly basis.

T he total $3,700,000 principal balance is due at maturity and the Convertible Notes may be prepaid at any time after the six-month anniversary of the Convertible Notes with a 2.5% prepayment penalty. Gulf Western received net proceeds of $2,944,000 (after $256,000 of placement fees) and the exchange of the $500,000 NCIM Convertible Secured Note issued on July 3, 2007 for $500,000 of the Convertible Notes. Pursuant to the Amerpro Participation Agreement executed on June 10, 2008 between Gulf Western and Amerpro, should Amerpro exercise its right to participate in Oakcrest prospect wells beyond the initial four wells, the $3,700,000 due Gulf Western is to be remitted directly to Metage and NCIM by Amerpro in order to satisfy the principal balance on Convertible Notes due September 10, 2008 .

In conjunction with the SPA , Gulf Western entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with the lenders pursuant to which Gulf Western was required to: (i) file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to the Common Stock issued under the SPA and the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and conversion of the Senior Secured Convertible Notes within 60 days after September 12, 2007 ; and to: (ii) cause such registration statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules promulgated there under, not later than 150 days after September 12, 2007 . If such registration statement is not filed by the 60th day after September 12, 2007 , (November 12, 2007), or the registration statement is not declared effective on or prior to the 150th day after September 12, 2007 , liquidated damages in the form of registration rights penalties, calculated based on a prescribed formula in the SPA , in the maximum amount of $150,000 .

On April 8, 2008, in connection with the recently adopted reduced holding periods for non-affiliates under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Gulf Western, Metage and NCIM executed a Termination of Registration Rights Agreement which (i) terminated the registration rights agreement and (ii) waived, released and discharged any further obligations under the registration rights agreement, including the obligation on the part of the Company to pay any registration delay payments accrued or incurred thereunder. Accordingly, Gulf Western reversed its prior accrual for the estimated liability for registration delay penalties as of February 29, 2008 and reflected the revision as a gain on debt extinguishment. On April 14, 2008 Gulf Western filed an Application to Withdraw the Registration Statement on Form SB-2, originally filed with the SEC on December 5, 2007.

Gulf Western evaluated the terms of the Convertible Notes, the issuance of common stock and attached warrants in accordance with EITF 98-5 and EITF 00-27, and concluded that the intrinsic value of the conversion feature of the Convertible Notes represented a beneficial conversion feature in the amount of $426,137. The relative fair value of the warrants and common shares issued were $646,791 and $326,782, respectively as derived through the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The total discount of $1,399,710 associated with the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature, and the relative fair value of the warrants and stock is being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the twelve month term of the Convertible Notes. The total debt discount, including the estimated registration rights penalties, on the issuance of the Convertible Notes was $1,549,710.

The principal assumptions used in the Black-Scholes valuation model to determine the intrinsic value of the conversion feature of the Convertible Notes and the relative fair value of the warrants and common shares issued were: a risk-free interest rate of 4.0%; the current stock price on the date of issuance of $0.32 per common share; the exercise price of the warrants of $0.26 per share; expected warrant term of five years; conversion price of $0.39 per common share, volatility of 121.16%; and a dividend yield of 0.0%.

The Convertible Notes are secured by a lien on substantially all of the assets of the Gulf Western, including all of the equity interests of Gulf Western’s subsidiaries and Gulf Western’s rights in certain real property, pursuant to the terms of a Security Agreement and Pledge Agreement entered into in connection with the closing of transactions under the SPA . In addition, Gulf Western Petroleum, LP, Wharton Resources Corp. and Wharton Resources LLC, each a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gulf Western, entered into a Guaranty with the Buyers, whereby each of the subsidiaries guaranteed the payment and performance of all obligations of Gulf Western under the Convertible Notes and terms of the SPA . Gulf Western Petroleum, LP also entered into a Mortgage, Deed of Trust, Assignment of Production, Security Agreement, Fixture Filing and Financing Statement with respect to certain properties in Texas and Kansas to secure the obligations of Gulf Western under the SPA and the Convertible Notes.

In conjunction with the Convertible Notes, Gulf Western issued 300,000 shares of common stock to a placement agent valued at $96,000 ($0.32 per share) and cash fees totaling $256,000. A total of $352,000 was recorded as deferred financing costs, and are being amortized using the effective interest method over the one year life of the debt. During the three and nine months ended May 31 , 2008 , deferred financing costs of $ 88,723 and $ 253,633 , respectively, were charged to interest expense associated with the issuance of the Convertible Notes. If the Convertible Notes are converted or repaid prior to the maturity date, any unamortized cost at the time of conversion or repayment will be immediately recognized and charged to net income.

Convertible Secured Note

On July 3, 2007 , Gulf Western borrowed $500,000 under an eighteen-month convertible secured note from NCIM with a maturity date of January 3, 2009 . Under the terms of the convertible note, principal repayments were scheduled to commence in October 2007 at $33,333 per month and the note bore interest at a rate of 12.0% per annum, payable quarterly. The note provided the lender the right to convert all or part of the outstanding balance into shares of common stock at a conversion rate of $0.45 per share, and could be repaid by Gulf Western at any time at 105% of the then outstanding principal and accrued interest. In conjunction with the Convertible Notes issued September 10, 2007 , this note was exchanged for the NCIM Convertible Note.

Short-Term Convertible Note

On September 14, 2007 , Gulf Western repaid in full $250,000 under a short term convertible note payable issued in June 2007 to a private investor. Gulf Western paid $6,329 in interest in connection with the repayment of the note.

Orbit Energy, LLC Mound Branch Convertible Note

As consideration to Orbit Energy, LLC for Gulf Western’s purchase of its interests in the Mound Branch Project, Gulf Western issued a thirty-six month $2.0 million unsecured convertible note dated January 30, 2007 with principal due at maturity, bearing interest at 10.0% per annum due quarterly in arrears (the “Orbit Note”). Pursuant to the terms of the Orbit Note, after the initial twelve months: a) Orbit has the ability to convert the outstanding principal and interest balance into common shares at a conversion price of $1.00 per share, and b) Gulf Western may prepay all or a portion of the convertible loan without penalty. In the event of a change in control of Gulf Western, the maturity of the unsecured Orbit Note is accelerated and $2.0 million and accrued interest becomes due.

On July 3, 2007 , Gulf Western and Orbit amended the Orbit Note to provide that interest payable by Gulf Western for the first quarter on the note was deferred until the interest due date for the second quarter. Accrued interest through October 31, 2007 totaling $150,137 was paid by Gulf Western to Orbit on November 20, 2007 . At May 31, 2008 the outstanding principal under the note is $2.0 million and accrued interest totals $116,712.

Loan Agreement

On March 12, 2008, Gulf Western entered into a twelve month loan agreement with a private investor under which Gulf Western borrowed $500,000. The loan bears interest at a rate of 10% per annum, payable monthly 90 days in arrears. In connection with the loan agreement, Gulf Western issued 1,000,000 shares of common stock to the lender as bonus shares for making the loan. At the request of the lender and concurrent with the loan, Class D warrants for 1,000,000 common shares at $2.00 per share were cancelled. The cancelled warrants had been acquired by the lender in a prior private equity placement with Gulf Western.

The relative fair value of the of the loan and common shares issued, and the fair value of the Class D warrants cancelled were as follows:

Securities Issued	Fair Value

Loan principal	$	500,000
Fair value of Class D warrants cancelled		73,925
Total consideration received	$	573,925

Relative fair value of loan	$	385,185
Relative fair value of common shares issued		188,740
Total relative fair value of loan and common shares issued	$	573,925

The common shares issued to the lender were valued at $0.25 per shares. The fair value of the Class D warrants cancelled was derived through using the Black-Scholes valuation model on the date of cancellation. The parameters used in the Black-Scholes valuation model were: a risk free rate of 1.72%; the stock price on the date of cancellation of $0.25 per common share; the exercise price of $2.00 per share; expected term of 2.5 years; volatility of 123.21%; and a dividend yield of 0.0%.

The debt discount on the loan totals $114,816 and is being amortized over the twelve month term of the loan using the effective interest method. The total debt discount amortization on the loan through May 31, 2008 is $25,165 with a remaining unamortized debt discount of $89,650 at May 31, 2008.

Interest expense of $25,165 was recorded during the three months ended May 31, 2008 related to the amortization of the debt discount.

NOTE 7 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Item 2.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis and Plan of Operations

The following Management Discussion and Analysis and related Plan of Operations (collectively referred hereinafter as “Plan of Operations”) should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Form 10-QSB. Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. In this quarterly report, unless otherwise specified, all dollar amounts are expressed in United States dollars. All references to “common shares” refer to the common shares in our capital stock. As used in this quarterly report, the terms “we”, “us” and “our” refer to Gulf Western Petroleum Corporation, unless otherwise indicated.

Overview

We are an oil and natural gas exploration and development company. This quarterly report, including the consolidated financial statements and notes contained herein together with this Plan of Operations, should be read in conjunction with the description of our business and the description of our properties contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB/A for the year ended August 31, 2007. Some of the statements made herein may be “forward-looking statements” and are qualified in their entirety as further described in last section of this Plan of Operations entitled – “Forward Looking Statements”.

We hold oil and gas interests that are located in Texas, Kansas and Kentucky. Our core business is the identification, acquisition, exploration and development of oil and natural gas reserves located onshore in the United States. During our second fiscal quarter ending February 29, 2008 we accomplished our first commercial levels of natural gas production from our interests located in Dewitt County, Texas (Shamrock Project) and Lavaca County, Texas (Brushy Creek Projects). Since commencement of production, we have generated operating revenues from our sales of natural gas production totaling approximately $620,251. For the three-month period ending May 31, 2008 our revenues from the Shamrock Project and Brushy Creek Projects total approximately $185,100 and $146,160, respectively. As part of establishing revenues from sale of natural gas production, we exited from the development stage (as defined by the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 7, Accounting for Development Stage Enterprises) during our second fiscal quarter ending February 29, 2008, and the financial statements presented herein are presented accordingly.

We hold oil and gas interests with reserves classified as proved undeveloped in our Oakcrest Prospect (“Prospect”) located in Wharton County, Texas that have estimated proved undeveloped recoverable reserves of approximately 3.9 Bcfe net to our 95.75% working interest, as reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB/A at August 31, 2007 from filed with the SEC on April 21, 2008. Since establishing operating revenues from our Dewitt County, Texas and Lavaca County, Texas oil and gas interests, we have devoted substantially all our manpower and cash resources to raising financing necessary to fund the drilling and development of the Wharton County oil and gas lease interests. On June 10, 2008, we entered into a Participation and Exclusivity Agreement (“Agreement”) with Amerpro Industries US Ltd. (“Amerpro”) that provides for Amerpro to fund 100% of the drilling and development costs for the first four wells drilled in the Oakcrest Prospect, and an option to buy the right to participate in additional wells in the Prospect beyond the initial four wells. Under the Agreement we will retain 9.575% carried working interest in the Prospect wells, and upon Amerpro’s 110% payout of each commercial well, we are entitled to an additional 15.0% “back-in” to each well (with an associated 10.8% net revenue interest).

The Agreement provides for closing by August 1, 2008, and prior to or at closing Amerpro is to pay us $1.2 million prospect generation fee and $3.7 million if they opt to participate in the additional wells in the Prospect. Under the Agreement, Amerpo is required to remit the $3.7 million payment directly to our Lenders Metage and NCIM in satisfaction of the principal repayments on our convertible secured notes that mature on September 10, 2008. Prior to closing, Amerpro may terminate the Agreement and forfeit an initial $100,000 paid to us on June 13, 2008 without further penalty. However if the Agreement is terminated by Amerpro, they are prohibited from directly or indirectly acquiring any interest in the Prospect for one-year from their termination and are required to convey to us any interest obtained at no cost and free and clear of all liens and encumbrances. There is no certainty that the Agreement will close by August, 1, 2008; however, closing is key to our meeting our principal repayment obligations of $3,700,000 due September 10, 2008 on our senior secured convertible notes, and key to Amerpro’s contractual ability to participate in the drilling and development of the Oakcrest Prospect since the underlying oil and gas lease is collateral for and pledged as security under the convertible secured notes with Metage and NCIM.

We are also engaged in a natural gas supply and gas gathering system development project in Southeast Kansas (the “Mound Branch Project”), and hold interests in eight existing wells that are capable of production, if and when a natural gas gathering system can be developed. In connection with the Mound Branch Project we hold oil and gas lease acreage totaling approximately 8,000 acres in Elk County Kansas and a portion of the right-of-way easements needed to effect the installation of the necessary gas gathering system. We require financing to progress this project which may involve joint interest participation by third parties or other agreements that would entail the scaling back of our economic interests and participation in the gathering system and/or supply development aspects of the project.

We also hold oil and gas lease interests in Bell and Baxter Counties, Kentucky that are characterized as exploratory in nature and that comprise our Baxter Bledsoe and Bell Prospects.

Oil and Gas Revenues

We established commercial production from our Shamrock and Brushy Creek Projects during the second fiscal quarter ending February 29, 2008. Total operating revenues since commencement of production is approximately $620,251 and $331,271 for the nine month and three month periods ending May 31, 2008, respectively. For the same periods ending May 31, 2007, we did not have production or revenues.

Our wells in the Shamrock Project and the Brushy Creek Projects are identified in the following tables together with the net production and total revenues for the three months ending May 31, 2008. Also identified are our working interest and net revenue interests in each well together with the average sales price derived from the sale of production.

General and Administrative Expenses

For the three and nine months ended May 31, 2008, general and administrative expenses totaled $410,414 and $2,616,160, respectively, versus $990,850 and $1,781,543, respectively, for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2007. The decrease in the three month costs are principally related to a non-cash non-recurring charge for common shares issued to a consultant for services and non-cash amortization of the fair value of stock options issued to officer and directors that were amortized over a twelve month period ending February 29, 2008. The reduction in the referenced non-cash charges were partially offset with costs incurred in connection raising financing, and profession, legal and accounting fees incurred in connection with our preparation and filing of a registration statement that was required by the senior secured convertible notes and associated warrants issued on September 10, 2007 (this registration obligation has since been terminated by the lenders and warrant holders).

The increase in expenses for the nine months ended May 31, 2008 compared to the nine months ended May 31, 2007 is related to non-cash amortization of the fair value of stock options issued to officers and directors that were granted on May 10, 2007 and were being amortized over a twelve month period ending February 29, 2008, contract labor costs associated with our ramping up of our business, legal and professional fees, and travel costs and consultant fees associated we our initiatives to raise funding.

Interest Expense

For the three and nine month periods ending May 31, 2008 interest expense totaled $703,865 and $2,032,306, respectively. This compares to interest expense of $50,413 and $566,416 for the same periods ended May 31, 2007. The increase in interest expense is primarily associated with interest on the convertible secured notes issued September 10, 2007, and the associated amortization of deferred financing costs and debt discounts arising for the sourcing the financing and other considerations issued as part of the negotiation and execution of the convertible secured notes.

Oil and Gas Capital Investments at May 31, 2008

A summary of our capital investment in oil and gas properties as of May 31, 2008 is provided in the following table.

Shamrock project	Dewitt, TX		1,962,623
Baxter Bledsoe prospect	Clay County, KY		342,000

Total		$	5,140,626
Not subject to amortization:
Mound Branch project	Elk County, KS	$	7,486,443
Total		$	7,486,443

The amortization rate for our oil and gas property capital investments applied to our production during the nine months ending May 31, 2008 was $2.985 per Mcf.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

As of May 31, 2008 we had cash of $14,160 and a working capital deficit of $4,918,844. We have principal repayments on the senior secured convertible notes with Metage and NCIM totaling $3,700,000 due on September 10, 2008. This compares to a cash balance at May 31, 2007 of $ - 0 -, and a working capital deficit of $2,126,789. Since our inception we have funded our oil and gas exploration and development activities, and out operating and working capital requirements through the issuance or equity and debt securities in private placements, and through contribution of funds and services by our officers and directors.

Our current level of operating cash flows generated from the sale of natural gas production are insufficient to meet our operating, general and administrative, debt services and working capital requirements on a monthly basis. Our current available cash is not sufficient to fund our capital requirements or to sustain our operating needs over the next twelve-month period. To execute our plans, we will require substantial financing and are actively working on options to raise funding necessary to meet our $3,700,000 principal repayment obligations due September 10, 2008 on our senior secured convertible notes issued September 10, 2007. Our primary options are to raise equity through private placements, or to utilize third party joint interest participation in our exploration and development projects. which would also allow us to reduce our capital investment cash requirements. Such third party joint interest participation will reduce our interests in projects; but, would also permit us to meet our very near-term funding needs for debt service, reduce our capital expenditure financing needs and allow us to progress our oil and gas capital program; and help us meet our operating and working capital needs. Third party joint interest participation in our projects / prospects also reduces our project / prospect risk profile, and reduces our dependence on the success of an individual project / prospect.

Should we raise funds through equity placements, existing stakeholders’ interests in Gulf Western could be negatively affected due to the dilution of their existing interests in us. Substantially all our assets are pledged as security to the note holders of our senior secured convertible notes issued on September 10, 2007 that mature on September 10, 2008. If we are not successful in executing our plans we will be unable to repay the $3.7 million principal balance on the maturity of the notes; and we may not be able to continue our business and could cause us to cease operations, or at a minimum we will be required to scale back our business. The result of these actions would be that the existing stakeholders in us would lose some if not all of their investment.

Our net cash flow from production is approximately $125,000 per month. Our monthly net operating cash requirements, including interest payments, are approximately $215,000 each month with a monthly operating deficit of approximately $90,000. Our available cash at July 15, 2008 is approximately $7,000. Over the next twelve months, we intend to use substantially all of our funds as they become available to fund our net operating cash requirements of $1.58 million; to fund our $750,000 exploration and development projects; and to meet our $3.7 million debt and $500,000 loan principal repayment obligations on the convertible notes and our March 12, 2008 loan agreement, respectively. Investments related to our exploration and development projects include approximately (i) $150,000 to supervise and monitor the drilling of at least two Oakcrest Prospect wells in Texas, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Amerpro participation agreement scheduled to close by August 1, 2008; (ii) $200,000 to further assess the Mound Branch Project; and (iii) $150,000 for the workover of various wells in the Shamrock and Brushy Creek projects that may arise over the next twelve months; and (iv) $250,000 for other prospect identification, screening, evaluation and development.
