GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTY
 
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company incurred a net loss of $47,153 for the three months ended November 30, 2007 [net loss for the three months ended November 30, 2006 - $47,730] and as at November 30, 2007 has incurred cumulative losses of $1,022,324 that raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  Management has been able, thus far, to finance the operations through equity financing and cash on hand.  There is no assurance that the Company will be able to continue to finance the Company on this basis.
 
In view of these conditions, the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is in substantial doubt and dependant upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations on a timely basis, to obtain additional financing as may be required, to receive the continued support of the Company’s shareholders, and ultimately to obtain successful operations. These unaudited consolidated financial statements do not give effect to any adjustments which would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and therefore be required to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those reflected in the accompanying financial statements.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
 
a) Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Target Energy, Inc.  All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.

 
b) Revenue Recognition
 
The Company uses the sales method of accounting for natural gas and oil revenues.  Under this method, revenues are recognized upon the passage of title, net of royalties.  Revenues from natural gas production are recorded using the sales method.  When sales volumes exceed the Company’s entitled share, an overproduced imbalance occurs.  To the extent the overproduced imbalance exceeds the Company’s share of the remaining estimated proved natural gas reserves for a given property, the Company records a liability.  At November 30, 2007, the Company had no overproduced imbalances.

 
c) Oil and Gas Properties

The Company utilizes the full cost method to account for its investment in oil and gas properties.  Accordingly, all costs associated with acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas reserves, including such costs as leasehold acquisition costs, capitalized interest costs relating to unproved properties, geological expenditures, tangible and intangible development costs including direct internal costs are capitalized to the full cost pool.  When the Company obtains proven oil and gas reserves, capitalized costs, including estimated future costs to develop the reserves and estimated abandonment costs, net of salvage, will be depleted on the units-of-production method using estimates of proved reserves.  Investments in unproved properties and major development projects including capitalized interest, if any, are not amortized until proved reserves associated with the projects can be determined.  If the future exploration of unproved properties are determined uneconomical the amount of such properties are added to the capitalized cost to be amortized.

The capitalized costs included in the full cost pool are subject to a “ceiling test”, which limits such costs to the aggregate of the estimated present value, using a ten percent discount rate of the future net revenues from proved reserves, based on current economic and operating conditions.

Sales of proved and unproved properties are accounted for as adjustments of capitalized costs with no gain or loss recognized, unless such adjustments would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves of oil and gas, in which case the gain or loss is recognized in the statement of operations.

Exploration activities conducted jointly with others are reflected at the Company’s proportionate interest in such activities.

Cost related to site restoration programs are accrued over the life of the project.

   d)    Stock-Based Compensation

The Company adopted SFAS No. 123(revised), "Share-Based Payment", to account for its stock options and similar equity instruments issued.  Accordingly, compensation costs attributable to stock options or similar equity instruments granted are measured at the fair value at the grant date, and expensed over the expected vesting period.  SFAS No. 123(revised) requires excess tax benefits be reported as a financing cash inflow rather than as a reduction of taxes paid.

The Company did not grant any stock options during the period ended November 30, 2007.

OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES
 
Queensdale, Saskatchewan (1A9-25)
 
On April 16, 2007, the Company acquired a 25% (net 15%) before payout (“BPO”) (12.5% (net 7.5%) after payout (“APO”)) interest in Queensdale, Saskatchewan Project from 0743608 B.C. Ltd. (Assignor), a company controlled by a Director/CEO of the Company, for a total cost of CAD$250,000 and 500,000 shares in the common stock.  The Participation Agreement consists specifically of all (100%) of the Assignor’s interest in the Queensdale 1A9-25/4A2-25-6-2 W2M well; none (0%) of the Assignor’s interest in the Queensdale 4A9-25 / 2D15-25-6-2 W2M well; and one-half (50%) interest in the Farmout Land and the Option Land.
 
 
On April 18, 2007, 500,000 shares were issued at market value $0.55 per share giving a total of $275,000.
 
The Company agrees to pay to the Assignor on monthly basis and within 5 business days of receiving the payment from net generated oil and gas revenue, a minimum of 80% of the payments received from net generated oil and gas revenue attributable to the Queensdale 1A9-25 / 4A2-25-6-2 W2M well, until such time as the full CAD$250,000 has been paid to the Assignor.
 
 
The total cost capitalized cost incurred for the oil and gas property was $496,049 which was attributed to the acquisition cost of the oil and gas property. The Company applied the full cost method to account for this property.
 
West Queensdale, Saskatchewan (HZ 4A9-25/3A15-25-6-2 W2)
In Connection with the acquisition of Target, the Company acquired another producing well at Queensdale, Queensdale West HZ 4A9-25/3A15-25-6-2 W2.  The well was drilled in February 2007 and was placed in production on May 15, 2007.  The Company has an 8% Gross Interest before payout (BPO) and 4% net interest after payout in this well.

Wordsworth, Saskatchewan

Through the Company’s subsidiary, Target, the Company owns a well working interest in Wordsworth, Saskatchewan. The Wordsworth property has one producing oil well which was drilled in May, 2006, and in which the Company has a 3.75% net interest.  This is a horizontal well called the Wordsworth East HZ 2A2-23/3A11-14-7-3 W2, and was considered a new pool discovery. A second well on this property, the Wordsworth E. HZ 3B9-23/3A11-23-7-3 W2 located on the north side of the Wordsworth prospect area, was deemed not commercially viable as a producing oil well. This well will be converted to a water injection well for the disposition of salt water from the first well and from future producers in the field. The injection well should provide cost savings versus salt water trucking costs.

Coteau Lake, Saskatchewan

In connection with the acquisition of Target, the Company acquired certain working interest in Coteau Lake, Saskatchewan.

Coteau Lake is an exploration property and the Company has no producing oil or gas wells on this land at this time. The Coteau Lake exploration project covers 1,280 acres of land. The Company’s gross and net interest in this project is 50%. There has been historic oil production on the Coteau Lake project lands.  
On November 7, 2007, the Company’s subsidiary Target entered into a Letter of Intent (the “LOI”) with Primrose Drilling Ventures Ltd. (“Promrose”), a body corporate, having an office in the city of Calgary, in the Province of Alberta.  Pursuant to the LOI, Target is the interest title holder of Saskatchewan Crown Land parcels 124, 125 and 126.
Primrose elected to proceed with a 50/50 joint venture with Target by reimbursing Target for 50% of its land cost on parcels 124, 125 and 126 for CDN$26,590 which is payable on signing within 15 days of the LOI.  Primrose would become operator of the project upon its acceptance of such appointment and agreement to assume the duties, obligations and rights of the operator.  A formal Participation Agreement (“Agreement”) will include the provisions of LOI and will be drawn up and concluded with 15 days of the above noted payment by Primrose to Target.  Included in the Participation Agreement would be the Area of Mutual Interest (AMI) which would govern future land acquisitions and timeline set out in the LOI.

Management's Discussion and Analysis
 
We are an exploration company focused on developing oil and gas properties.
 
The following disclosure relates to each property that we have an interest in:

The Wordsworth light oil project, South Eastern Saskatchewan, Canada

The Wordsworth property has one producing oil well which was drilled in May, 2006, and in which Golden Aria has a 3.75% net interest.  This is a horizontal well called the Wordsworth East HZ 2A2-23/3A11-14-7-3 W2, and was considered a new pool discovery. A second well on this property, the Wordsworth E. HZ 3B9-23/3A11-23-7-3 W2 located on the north side of the Wordsworth prospect area, was deemed not commercially viable as a producing oil well. This well will be converted to a water injection well for the disposition of salt water from the first well and from potential future producers in the field. The injection well should provide cost savings versus salt water trucking costs.

The Queensdale West light oil project, South Eastern Saskatchewan, Canada

The Queensdale West property has two producing oil wells. Golden Aria has an 15.00% Gross Interest before payout (BPO) and 7.5% net interest after payout in the Queensdale West HZ 91/01-25-6-2 W2 and an 8.00% Gross Interest before payout (BPO) and 4% net interest after payout in the Queensdale West HZ 4A9-25 / 3A15-25-6-2 W2.

The Coteau Lake light oil exploration project, South Eastern Saskatchewan, Canada
 
Coteau Lake is an exploration property and we have no producing oil or gas wells on this property at this time. Coteau Lake covers 1,280 acres of land. Golden Aria’s gross and net interest in this project is 50%. There has been historic oil production on the Coteau Lake project lands.  Our internal geological and geophysical work to date indicates our lands could be prospective for oil & gas accumulations to have taken place. Our current focus on this project is the defining of our first exploration well location.

Golden Aria expects to evaluate additional properties on an ongoing basis and will acquire interests when believed to be in the company interest.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended November 30, 2007
 
For the three-month period ended November 30, 2007, the Company had $33,831 in revenues compared to no revenues for the same three-month period in the prior year. The Company has generated $116,037 in revenues from inception on November 24, 2004 to November 30, 2007.
 
For the three-month period ended November 30, 2007 we incurred costs and expenses in the amount of $83,529, compared to costs and expenses of $14,338 for the same three-month period in the prior year..
 
This increase in costs and expenses is attributable to well operating cost and administrative expenses we incurred in connection with the following:
 
·  
Cost of Revenue. In the three month period ended November 30, 2007, the Company incurred $22,353 (November 30, 2006: $0) in operating and depletion costs relating to its revenue producing property.  Depletion costs amounted to $12,848 for the three month period ending November 30, 2007.
 
·  
Accounting, and audit fees increased to $23,199 (November 30, 2006: $19,176).  The increase was in line with expectations.
 
·  
Fees paid to a consultant. In the three month period ended November 30, 2007, the Company incurred $6,360 (November 30, 2006: $6,360); which was consistent with prior periods.
 
·  
Legal and professional fees. In the three month period ended November 30, 2007, the Company incurred $13,887 (November 30, 2006: $7,678); the increase was caused by cots relating to the acquisition of Target Energy Inc.
 
·  
Office and Miscellaneous.  In the three month period ended November 30, 2007, the Company incurred $9,978 (November 30, 2006:$244) relating to exchange losses on translation of foreign currency.
 
We incurred general and administrative expenses in the amount of $61,176 for the three-months ended November 30, 2007 compared to $14,338 for the same three-month period ended in the prior year. The increase in general and administrative expenses occurred due to the costs of operating an office, higher than estimated costs for the fiscal audit of August 31, 2007, the cost of preparing the quarterly 10QSB filing and exchange losses.
 
The loss for the period ended November 30, 2007 was $47,153 compared to a loss of 15,828 for the corresponding period in the prior year.  The increase in loss was caused by an increase in operating expenses which was partially offset by an increase in revenue.
 
Assets
 
As of November 30, 2007, we had current assets of $514,802 and total assets of $4,160,317. We had total assets of $520,097 as of August 31, 2007. The increase in our total assets is primarily attributable to the acquisition of Target Energy Inc., which occurred on November 30, 2007.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
As of November 30, 2007, we had total current assets of $514,802 (August 31, 2007:  $316,439) and total assets in the amount of $4,160,317 (August 31, 2007:  $520,097). Our total current liabilities as of November 30, 2007 were $245,434 (August 31, 2007:  $222,934). As a result, on November 30, 2007 we had working capital of $269,368 (August 31, 2007:  $93,505). The increase in working capital was caused by the acquisition of Target Energy Inc.
 
We relied on cash on hand previously raised through the issue of equity capital to fund our operations during the three months ended November 30, 2007.
 
The company generates some revenue. However, we still anticipate the need to raise significant capital through the sale of equity securities on a private or public basis in order to sustain operations, meet our commitments for exploration and to acquire additional mineral properties. It is uncertain whether we will be able to obtain the necessary capital.
 
14

We intend to fund operations and commitments over the next twelve months from our cash on hand, including our capital expenditures, working capital or other cash requirements. We believe cash from operating activities, and our existing cash resources may not be sufficient to meet our working capital requirements for the next 12 months. We will likely require additional funds to support the Company’s business plan.  Management intends to raise additional working capital through debt and equity financing. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available on acceptable terms, if at all. If adequate funds are not available, we may be unable to take advantage of future opportunities, respond to competitive pressures, and may have to curtail operations.
 
Natural Gas and Oil Properties
 
We account for our oil and gas producing activities using the full cost method of accounting as prescribed by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).  Accordingly, all costs associated with the acquisition of properties and exploration with the intent of finding proved oil and gas reserves contribute to the discovery of proved reserves, including the costs of abandoned properties, dry holes, geophysical costs, and annual lease rentals are capitalized.  All general corporate costs are expensed as incurred.  In general, sales or other dispositions of oil and gas properties are accounted for as adjustments to capitalized costs, with no gain or loss recorded.  Amortization of evaluated oil and gas properties is computed on the units of production method based on all proved reserves on a country-by-country basis.  Unevaluated oil and gas properties are assessed at least annually for impairment either individually or on an aggregate basis.  The net capitalized costs of evaluated oil and gas properties (full cost ceiling limitation) are not to exceed their related estimated future net revenues from proved reserves discounted at 10%, and the lower of cost or estimated fair value of unproved properties, net of tax considerations.  These properties are included in the amortization pool immediately upon the determination that the well is dry.
 
Unproved properties consist of lease acquisition costs and costs on well currently being drilled on the properties.  The recorded costs of the investment in unproved properties are not amortized until proved reserves associated with the projects can be determined or until they are impaired.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
Revenue from sales of crude oil, natural gas and refined petroleum products are recorded when deliveries have occurred and legal ownership of the commodity transfers to the customers.  Title transfers for crude oil, natural gas and bulk refined products generally occur at pipeline custody points or when a tanker lifting has occurred.  Revenues from the production of oil and natural gas properties in which we share an undivided interest with other producers are recognized based on the actual volumes sold by us during the period.  Gas imbalances occur when our actual sales differ from its entitlement under existing working interests.  We record a liability for gas imbalances when we have sold more than our working interest of gas production and the estimated remaining reserves make it doubtful that the partners can recoup their share of production from the field. At November 30, 2007, we had no overproduced imbalances.
 
Item 3.     Controls and Procedures
 
We carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of November 30, 2007. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our President (Principal Executive Officer) Robert McAllister, Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Chris Bunka. Based upon that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Chief Executive Officer concluded that, as of November 30, 2007, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective. There have been no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended November 30, 2007 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect such controls.
 
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Chief Executive Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls
 
Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will necessarily prevent all fraud and material error. An internal control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the internal control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
