Our Business - ------------
During the fourth quarter of our fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, we acquired varying percentages of working interests and overriding royalties in eighteen (18) operating leases located in Oklahoma. These leases are producing and generate income for the Company.

ITEM 1A.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Risk Related to our Business
You should carefully consider the following risk factors and all other information contained herein as well as the information included in this Annual Report in evaluating our business and prospects. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Additional unknown risks and uncertainties, or that we currently believe are immaterial, may also impair our business operations. If any of the following risks occur, our business and financial results could be harmed. You should refer to the other information contained in this Annual Report, including our financial statements and the related notes.
We Have a Limited Operating History.
We have a limited operating history in the oil and gas industry. Our operations will be subject to all the risks inherent in the establishment of a developing enterprise and the uncertainties arising from the absence of a significant operating history. No assurance can be given that we may be able to operate on a profitable basis.
We may Require Significant Additional Financing and There is No Assurance that such Funds will be Available
We need to raise at least $120,000 to fund our operations for the next twelve (12) months. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain financing on acceptable terms in light of factors such as the market demand for our securities, the state of financial markets generally and other relevant factors.
Inability Of Our Officers And Sole Director To Devote Sufficient Time To The Operation Of Our Business May Limit Our Success.
Presently, our officers and sole director allocate only a portion of their time to the operation of our business. Should our business develop faster than anticipated, our officers may not be able to devote sufficient time to the operation of our business to ensure that it continues as a going concern. Even if our management's lack of sufficient time is not fatal to our existence, it may result in our limited growth and success.
Unproven Profitably Due to Lack of Operating History Makes an Investment in Us an Investment in an Unproven Venture.
We were formed on February 7, 2007. From our date of inception until the acquisition of our oil and gas leases and equipment in the summer of 2009, we have not had significant revenues or operations and we have few assets. Due to our lack of operating history, the revenue and income potential of our business is unproven. If we cannot successfully implement our business strategies, we may not be able to generate sufficient revenues to operate profitably. Since our resources are very limited, insufficient revenues would result in termination of our operations, as we cannot fund unprofitable operations unless additional equity or debt financing is obtained.
ITEM 2.
ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY.
Our Acquisition of the Claims
On April 19, 2007, we purchased a 100% undivided interest in six contiguous mineral claims located in the Nanaimo Mining District on Vancouver Island, British Columbia from David A. Zamida for total consideration of CDN$5,000 (approximately $4,464 based on the foreign exchange rate on April 26, 2007, the date we made payment, of $1.00: CDN$1.1191). On April 26, 2007, we entered into a Net Smelter Returns Royalty Agreement with Mr. Zamida whereby Mr. Zamida is entitled to 2% of net smelter royalty returns from the property underlying such claims.
During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, these claims have expired.
On January 27, 2009, the Company entered into a Participation Agreement with Nitro Petroleum Incorporated ("Nitro"), pursuant to which the Company obtained from Nitro the right to participate in Phase One of Nitro's Powder River Basin Project in Montana. Nitro acquired certain oil and gas leases in the Powder River Basin in Montana pursuant to a Memorandum of Understanding dated January 26, 2009 with REDS, LLC.
Pursuant to the terms of the Participation Agreement, Nitro is being carried to the tanks with respect to a 25% working interest in Phase One of the Powder River Basin Project. The Company is acquiring a 37.5% working interest in Phase One of the Powder River Basin Project in exchange for an agreement to pay 50% of the expenses of Phase One of the Powder River Basin Project. Additionally, the Company shall have the right to purchase up to a 37.5% working interest in Phase Two and Phase Three of the Powder River Basin Project upon substantially the same terms as Phase One. Nitro will be the operator of all wells drilled during Phase One of the Powder River Basin Project. As of September 30, 2010, the Company has paid $57,500 towards the participation agreement with Nitro Petroleum. The payments have been recorded in the financial statements as Participation deposits.
Effective July 1, 2009, the Company purchased various producing properties located in Garvin County, Pottawatomie County, Nowata County and Seminole County, Oklahoma. The Company utilized short-term financing to acquire these properties. The various net revenue acquired range from .2808% to a 67.97% net revenue interest. In 2010, the Company increased their interest in the Mason Burns, Quinlan #1 and Teresa #1 wells. The Company sold all of its interest in 2010 in the Jameson lease and the Heath lease.
On November 5th, 2009, the Company signed an agreement to purchase a 57.2682% working interest in the Ed Thompson #2-18, located in Garvin County, Oklahoma for $28,634. The company has paid $28,000 toward this amount.
On September 1, 2010, the Company purchased a 5% working interest in a 7 well package located in Garvin County, Oklahoma in the amount of $34,500. The company financed this transaction with an account payable to the operator of the wells, Nitro Petroleum Incorporated.
The following table reflects the Company's ownership as of September 30, 2010 in its oil and gas properties located in Oklahoma.

ITEM 3.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
On September 16, 2010, the Company, along with Global Energy, LLC (Plaintiffs), filed a joint petition against Reed Power Tongs, Inc. and 4K Energy, LLC (Defendants), alleging breach of contract of the joint operating agreement the Plaintiffs entered into with the Defendants covering the Karsyn No. 1, the Heath well and the Josh well.
The Plaintiffs are alleging that the Defendants charged excessive fees for services rendered by unrelated entities, failed to obtain written approval from working interest owners before charging inflated fees with their affiliated companies and knowingly and intentionally withholding of production revenue from both Precision and Global.
The Plaintiffs are demanding an accounting of all charges and revenue for the Karsyn, Josh and Heath wells and are asking for damages related to breach of contract and fraud. The Plaintiffs are asking for damages in excess of $10,000 for four different actions and also for sums in excess of $10,000 for punitive and exemplary damages for the Defendants conduct described in the petition.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL POSITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
We have generated no operating revenues since our inception. The following should be read jointly with the financial statements, related notes, and the cautionary statement regarding forward-looking statements, which appear elsewhere in this filing.
As used in this Annual Report: (i) the terms "we", "us", "our" and the "Company" mean Precision Petroleum Corporation (ii) "SEC" refers to the Securities and Exchange Commission; (iii) "Exchange Act" refers to the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; and (iv) all dollar amounts refer to United States dollars unless otherwise indicated.
The following is a discussion of our plan of operations, results of operations and financial condition as at and for the years ended September 30, 2010 and 2009.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company had a cash balance of $8,495 as of September 30, 2010, compared to cash balance of $12,944 as of September 30, 2009. The Company had a working capital deficiency of $1,245,192 as of September 30, 2010, compared to working capital deficiency of $1,072,250 as of September 30, 2009.
Our accumulated deficit during the Exploration Stage increased during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010 to $405,616 from $185,803. Our accumulated deficit during the Production Stage increased $219,813. During this time, our total stockholders' deficit increased to $278,525 from $58,712. These increases were the result of incurring a net loss from our operations in the amount of $219,813 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010.
The Company will continue to utilize the free labor of its directors and stockholder until such time as funding is sourced from the capital markets. It is anticipated that funding for the next twelve months will be required to maintain the Company.
Results of Operations
For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010, the Company had revenue of $190,143 from production of oil and gas, as compared to $59,723 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009.
Operating expenses for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010 were $296,760, resulting in a net loss for the period of $219,813.
Operating expenses for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009 was $123,236, resulting in a net loss for the period of $63,513.
During the fiscal year end September 30, 2010, the amount of cash used in our operating activities was $18,074 compared to $23,041 of cash used on operations during the prior fiscal year. During the fiscal year, we used $11,291 of cash in investing activities, due to the purchase of our oil and gas leases and equipment. We used $1,039,980 of cash in investing activities during the prior fiscal year. The Company received $24,916 in advances from third parties to finance its activities during the fiscal year compared to financing in the prior year in the amount of $1,076,262.
The Company expects to continue to receive revenues from the properties on the Oklahoma properties and the Company expects for these revenues to increase. Planned exploration ventures should increase revenues for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2011.
Going Concern
The Company has not attained profitable operations and is dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue any extensive acquisitions and exploration activities. For these reasons, the Company's auditors stated in their report on the Company's audited financial statements that they have substantial doubt the Company will be able to continue as a going concern without further financing.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes of financial condition, revenues, expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.
Plan of Operation for the Next Twelve (12) Months
The following discussion of our plan of operation, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and changes in financial position should be read in conjunction with our most recent financial statements and notes appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-K annual report; our Form 10-Q filed February 12, 2010, our Form 10-Q filed May 20, 2010 and our Form 10-Q filed August 23, 2010.
Our plan of operations for the next twelve months is to maintain the current properties we have and recomplete some of the properties that we feel will generate more revenue.
We estimate that our expenditures over the next twelve months will be $120,000 to cover ongoing general and administrative expenses. As at September 30, 2010, we had cash and cash equivalents of $8,495 and working deficit of $1,245,192. We have enough cash on hand to meet our overhead requirements for the next 6 months. We will need to raise approximately $120,000 to meet our overhead requirements for the next 12 months.
During the twelve-month period following the date of this report, we anticipate that we will continue to generate revenue from our oil and gas leases. However, we anticipate that such revenue will not be sufficient to cover all of our expenses. Accordingly, we will be required to obtain additional financing in order to continue our plan of operations during and beyond the next twelve months. We anticipate that additional funding could be in the form of either debt or equity financing from the sale of our common stock. However, we do not have any financing arranged and we cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funding to fund our operations. In the absence of such financing, our business plan will fail. Even if we are successful in obtaining financing to fund our operations, there is no assurance that we will obtain the funding necessary to pursue any further exploration of our properties. If we do not obtain additional financing, we may be forced to dispose of operating oil and gas leases located in Oklahoma.

To The Board of Directors and Stockholders Precision Petroleum Corporation Shawnee, OK 74804
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Precision Petroleum Corporation as of September 30, 2010 and 2009, and the related statements of operations, stockholders' deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Precision Petroleum Corporation as of September 30, 2010 and 2009, and the results of their operations and cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations, which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Note 1 Nature and Continuance of Operations
Precision Petroleum Corporation (the "Company") was incorporated under the name of "Tidewater Resources, Inc." under the laws of the State of Nevada on February 7, 2007. On October 27, 2008 the Company changed its name to Precision Petroleum Corporation. The Company has established its corporate offices in Shawnee, Oklahoma. The Company is engaged primarily in the acquisition, development, production, exploration for, and the sale of oil, gas and natural gas liquids. All business activities are conducted in Oklahoma and the Company sells its oil and gas to a limited number of domestic purchasers. The Company does not operate the leases; they own a working and overriding royalty interest and are invoiced monthly for joint operating costs and receive revenues from third party purchasers of oil and gas chosen by the operators.
The company was an exploration stage company in the years prior to the year ended September 30, 2009.
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to meet its obligations and continue its operations for its next fiscal year. Realization values may be substantially different from carrying values as shown and these financial statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values and classifications of assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. At September 30, 2010, the Company had not yet achieved profitable operations, has accumulated losses of $405,616 since its inception, has a working capital deficiency of $1,245,192 and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business, all of which casts substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate future profitable operations and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Management has no formal plan in place to address this concern but considers that the Company will be able to obtain additional funds by equity financing and/or related party advances, however there is no assurance of additional funding being available. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Because a precise determination of many assets and liabilities is dependent upon future events, the preparation of financial statements for a period necessarily involves the use of estimates, which have been made using careful judgment. Actual results may vary from these estimates.
The financial statements have, in management's opinion, been properly prepared within the framework of the significant accounting policies summarized below:
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company considers cash and cash equivalents to be all highly liquid debt instruments with a maturity when purchased of three months or less.
The Company maintains its cash balances in one financial institution in Shawnee, Oklahoma The balance at this institution is generally insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $250,000. As of September 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company's cash in this financial institution was less than the federally insured limits.
Allowance for doubtful accounts
Accounts receivable are stated at the amount management expects to collect from balances outstanding at year end. Management provides for probable uncollectible amounts through a charge to earnings and a credit to an allowance based on its assessment of the current status of individual accounts. Balances that are still outstanding after management has used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the valuation allowance. Changes in the allowance have not been material to the financial statements.
Property and equipment
Equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided using the straight line method. As of September 30, 2010 and 2009 the Company did not have any property or equipment.
PRECISION PETROLEUM CORPORATION NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2010 AND 2009 (Audited)
Oil and Gas Properties
The Company follows the full cost method of accounting for oil and gas operations whereby all costs of exploring for and developing oil and gas reserves are initially capitalized on a country-by-country (cost center) basis. Such costs include land acquisition costs, geological and geophysical expenses, carrying charges on non-producing properties, costs of drilling and overhead charges directly related to acquisition and exploration activities.
Costs capitalized, together with the costs of production equipment, are depleted and amortized on the unit-of-production method based on the estimated gross proved reserves. Petroleum products and reserves are converted to a common unit of measure, using 6 MCF of natural gas to one barrel of oil.
Costs of acquiring and evaluating unproved properties are initially excluded from depletion calculations. These unevaluated properties are assessed annually to ascertain whether impairment has occurred. When proved reserves are assigned or the property is considered to be impaired, the cost of the property or the amount of the impairment is added to costs subject to depletion calculations.
Future net cash flows from proved reserves using period-end, non-escalated prices and costs are discounted to present value and compared to the carrying value of oil and gas properties.
Proceeds from a sale of petroleum and natural gas properties are applied against capitalized costs, with no gain or loss recognized, unless such a sale would alter the rate of depletion by more than 25%.
Asset Retirement Obligations
The Company recognizes the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the year in which it is incurred when a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The carrying amount of the related long-lived asset is increased by the same amount as the liability.
PRECISION PETROLEUM CORPORATION NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2010 AND 2009 (Audited)
Changes in the liability for an asset retirement obligation due to the passage of time will be measured by applying an interest method of allocation. The amount will be recognized as an increase in the liability and an accretion expense in the statement of operations. Changes resulting from revisions to the timing or the amount of the original estimate of undiscounted cash flows are recognized as an increase or a decrease in the carrying amount of the liability for an asset retirement obligation and the related asset retirement cost capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset.
The Company owns interests in oil and natural gas properties, which may require expenditures to plug and abandon the wells when the oil and natural gas reserves in the wells are depleted. Fair value of legal obligations to retire and remove long-lived assets is recorded in the period in which the obligation is incurred (typically when the asset is installed at the production location). When the liability is initially recorded, this cost is capitalized by increasing the carrying amount of the related properties and equipment. Over time the liability is increased for the change in its present value, and the capitalized cost in properties and equipment is depreciated over the useful life of the remaining asset. The Company does not have any assets restricted for the purpose of settling the plugging liabilities.
The following table shows the activity for the years ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 relating to the Company's retirement obligation for plugging liability:
2010 2009 ---- ---- Beginning balance at October 1 $ - $ - Liabilities incurred 20,829 - Liabilities settled - - Accretion expense 2,083 - Revision estimate - - --------- --------- Ending balance at September 30 $ 22,912 $ - ========= =========
PRECISION PETROLEUM CORPORATION NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2010 AND 2009 (Audited)
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company has adopted FASB Codification Topic 360-10 ("ASC 360-10"), "Property, Plant, and Equipment", which requires that long-lived assets to be held and used be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Oil and gas properties accounted for using the full cost method of accounting, a method utilized by the Company, are excluded from this requirement, but will continue to be subject to the ceiling test limitations. At September 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company had not recognized any impairment to its oil and gas properties.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB Codification Topic 740 ("ASC 740"). Under ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC 740, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
As of September 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company has a net operating loss carryforward of approximately $339,966 and $185,803 available to offset taxable income through 2030 (Refer to Note 6).
Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share
Basic loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding defined by FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 260, "Earnings Per Share" during the period. Fully diluted earnings (loss) per share are computed similar to basic income (loss) per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of common stock equivalents (primarily outstanding options and warrants). Common stock equivalents represent the dilutive effect of the assumed exercise of the outstanding stock options and warrants, using the treasury stock method, at either the beginning of the respective period presented or the date of issuance, whichever is later, and only if the common stock equivalents are considered dilutive based upon the Company's net income (loss) position at the calculated date. Diluted loss per share has not been provided as it would be anti-dilutive. As of September 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company did not have any outstanding stock options or warrants.

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability. The fair value should be calculated based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, not on assumptions specific to the entity. In addition, the fair value of liabilities should include consideration of non- performance risk including our own credit risk.
In addition to defining fair value, the disclosure requirements around fair value establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs which is expanded. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market. Each fair value measurement is reported in one of the three levels which is determined by the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. These levels are:
Level 1 - inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.
Level 2 - inputs are based upon significant observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 - inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management's estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques that include option pricing models, discounted cash flow models, and similar techniques.
The carrying value of the Company's financial assets and liabilities which consist of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and notes payable are valued using level 1 inputs. The Company believes that the recorded values approximate their fair value due to the short maturity of such instruments. Unless otherwise noted, it is management's opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, exchange or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.

Newly Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2009 the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 105, "Generally Accepted Accounting Principles". ASC 105 establishes the Codification as the sole source of authoritative accounting principles to be applied in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. The adoption of this statement did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
In January 2010, the FASB (Financial Accounting Standards Board) issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-03 (ASU 2010-03), Extractive Activities-Oil and Gas (Topic 932): Oil and Gas Reserve Estimation and Disclosures. This amendment to Topic 932 has improved the reserve estimation and disclosure requirements by (1) updating the reserve estimation requirements for changes in practice and technology that have occurred over the last several decades and (2) expanding the disclosure requirements for equity method investments. This is effective for annual reporting periods ending on or after December 31, 2009. However, an entity that becomes subject to the disclosures because of the change to the definition oil- and gas- producing activities may elect to provide those disclosures in annual periods beginning after December 31, 2009. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-03 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
In January 2010, the FASB (Financial Accounting Standards Board) issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-06 (ASU 2010-06), Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. This amendment to Topic 820 has improved disclosures about fair value measurements on the basis of input received from the users of financial statements. This 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 adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-06 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
PRECISION PETROLEUM CORPORATION NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2010 AND 2009 (Audited)
In February 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-09 (ASU 2010-09), Subsequent Events (Topic 855), amending guidance on subsequent events to alleviate potential conflicts between FASB guidance and SEC requirements. Under this amended guidance, SEC filers are no longer required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated in originally issued and revised financial statements. This guidance was effective immediately and we adopted these new requirements for the period ended September 30, 2010. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our financial statements.
In April 2010, the FASB (Financial Accounting Standards Board) issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-14 (ASU 2010-14), Accounting for Extractive Activities - Oil and Gas. This amendment makes amendments to paragraph 932- 10-S99-1 due to SEC release No. 33-8995, Modernization of Oil and Gas Reporting. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-14 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

At September 30, 2010, the Company had an unsecured short term note payable to Global Energy, LLC, an oil and gas company located in Shawnee, Oklahoma. This note bears an interest rate of 10% per annum and is payable upon demand. If the Holder makes a demand for repayment, the Company must repay the principal balance of this note and accrued and unpaid interest thereon within sixty (60) days.

Note 6 Income Taxes
At September 30, 2010, the Company has accumulated net operating loss carry forwards totaling $339,966 (2009, $185,803), which may be applied against future years income and expire commencing in 2029.
Significant components of the Company's future tax assets and liabilities, after applying enacted corporate income tax rates, are as follows:
2010 2009 ---- ---- Future income tax assets Net tax operating loss carryforward $ 117,446 $ 65,031 Sale of oil and gas properties 22,100 - Less: Valuation allowance (139,546) (65,031) --------------- ------------ $ - $ - =============== ============
The Company recorded no income tax expense for the years ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, as a result of the net loss recognized in each of these years. Further, an income tax benefit was not recognized in either of the years due to the uncertainty of the Company's ability to recognize the benefit from the net operating losses and, therefore, has recorded a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets.
PRECISION PETROLEUM CORPORATION NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2010 AND 2009 (Audited)
The benefit for income taxes is different from the amount computed by applying the U.S. statutory corporate federal income tax rate to pre-tax loss as follows:
2010 2009 Amount Amount ------ ------ Income tax benefit computed at the statutory rate of 34% $ 74,736 $ 65,031 Increase (reduction) in tax benefit Resulting from:

Reserve Information
The following estimates of proved and proved developed reserve quantities and related standardized measure of discounted net cash flow are estimates only, and do not purport to reflect realizable values or fair market values of the Company's reserves. The Company emphasizes that reserve estimates are inherently imprecise and that estimates of new discoveries are more imprecise than those of producing oil and gas properties. Accordingly, these estimates are expected to change as future information becomes available. All of the Company's reserves are located in the United States.
Proved reserves are estimated reserves of crude oil (including condensate and natural gas liquids) and natural gas that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions. Proved developed reserves are those expected to be recovered through existing wells, equipment, and operating methods.
PRECISION PETROLEUM CORPORATION NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2010 AND 2009 (Audited)
The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows is computed by applying year-end prices of oil and gas (with consideration of price changes only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements) to the estimated future production of proved oil and gas reserves, less estimated future expenditures (based on year-end costs) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved reserves, less estimated future income tax expenses (based on year-end statutory tax rates, with consideration of future tax rates already legislated) to be incurred on pretax net cash flows less tax basis of the properties and available credits, and assuming continuation of existing economic conditions. The estimated future net cash flows are then discounted using a rate of 10 percent a year to reflect the estimated timing of the future cash flows.

MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
Securities Authorized for Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans
There are no securities authorized for issuance under any equity compensation plan, or any options, warrants, or rights to purchase our common stock.
SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
We are required under Regulation S-K of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") to provide certain information, with respect to any person (including any "group", as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) who is known to us to be the beneficial owner of more than five (5) percent of any class of our voting securities, and as to those shares of our equity securities beneficially owned by each of our directors, our executive officers and all of our directors and executive officers and all of our directors and executive officers as a group. Based on our review of statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") pursuant to Sections 13 (d), 13 (f), and 13 (g) of the Exchange Act with respect to our common stock and a review of our shareholders list, as of January 13, 2011, we had only two (2) shareholders who held 5% or more of our common stock, which is our only class of capital stock. As of January 13, 2011, there were 44,400,000 shares of our common stock outstanding.
The number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by each person is determined under the rules of the Commission and the information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Under such rules, beneficial ownership includes any shares as to which such person has sole or shared voting power or investment power and also any shares which the individual has the right to acquire within sixty (60) days after the date hereof, through the exercise of any stock option, warrant or other right. Unless otherwise indicated, each person has sole investment and voting power (or shares such power with his or her spouse) with respect to the shares set forth in the following table. The inclusion herein of any shares deemed beneficially owned does not constitute an admission of beneficial ownership of those shares.
The table also shows the number of shares beneficially owned as of December 31, 2010 by each of the individual directors and executive officers and by all directors and executive officers as a group.

Audit and Audit Related Fees.
The aggregate fees billed by our auditors, for audit fees during the years ended September 30, 2010, and 2009, were $16,500 and $18,750, respectively.
We did not incur any fees billed by our auditors for audited related services.
Tax Fees.
We did not incur any fees billed by our auditors for tax compliance, tax advice or tax compliance services during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010 and 2009.
All Other Fees.
We did not incur any other fees billed by auditors for services rendered to us other than the services covered in "Audit Fees" for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2010 and 2009.
The Board has considered whether the provision of non-audit services is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant's independence. Since there is no audit committee, there are no audit committee pre-approval policies and procedures.
