Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements March 31, 2005 (Unaudited prepared by management) (Expressed in Canadian Dollars) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. NATURE OF THE BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION The interim consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared by management, without audit or review by the Company's auditor, in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The interim financial statements have, in management's opinion, been properly prepared using careful judgment with reasonable limits of materiality. These interim financial statements do not include all the note disclosures required for annual financial statements and therefore they should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004. The interim financial statements have been prepared following the same significant accounting policies as the most recently reported annual financial statements. Assure Energy, Inc. (the "Company" or "Assure") and its subsidiaries are engaged in the exploration, development and production of oil and natural gas in the Canadian provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan and British Columbia. The interim consolidated financial statements present the results of operations of the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Assure Oil & Gas Corp. ("Oil & Gas") and Westerra 2000 Inc. ("Westerra"). All material inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation. 2. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

At March 31, 2005, costs amounting to $1,070,482 (2004 - $1,169,342) that were incurred on unproven properties have been excluded from costs subject to depletion. An impairment test calculation was performed on the Company's property, plant and equipment as of March 31, 2005 and it was determined that the fair market value exceeded the carrying amount of the Company's property, and equipment. 5 Assure Energy, Inc.

8. RISK MANAGEMENT a) Interest rate risk management The Company's fixed rate debt is subject to interest rate price risk as the value will fluctuate as a result of changes in market rates. Floating rate debt is subject to interest rate cash flow risk as the required cash flows to service the debt will fluctuate as a result of changes in market rates. At March 31, 2005, the Company had fixed the interest rates on the following interest bearing obligations: March 31, 2005 December 31, 2004 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Long term debt $ 3,885,283 $ 4,110,308 b) Foreign currency rate risk A significant portion of the Company's debt is denominated in the United States dollars. The Company does not have any exposure to any highly inflationary foreign currencies. The amount of debt denominated in United States dollars is US$2,592,000 (2004 - US$2,754,000). The increase or decrease in net earnings before taxes for each 1 percent change in foreign exchange rate on the US denominated debt amounts to approximately $26,000 (2004 - $28,000) per annum. 9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES There have been no material changes in the existence, likelihood or amount of contingencies from the preceding annual audited consolidated financial statements. 10 Assure Energy, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements March 31, 2005 (Unaudited prepared by management) (Expressed in Canadian Dollars) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 10. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Included in accounts receivable is $274,691 (2004 - $249,938) and included in accounts payable is $429,551 (2004 - $377,339) due to companies controlled by a director of the Company. These accounts receivable and payable arise as the Company and this director share an interest in oil and gas properties that the Company operates. All related party transactions have been recorded at the agreed to exchange amount which reflects fair value. 11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On April 21, 2005 the Company engaged the services of Haywood Securities Inc. ("Haywood") a TSE member firm, as its exclusive financial advisor to assist the Company in evaluating strategic alternatives to maximize shareholder value. In the event that such alternatives result in a merger, takeover or business combination (the "Transaction") with another company, Haywood would earn a commission equivalent to 0.9% of the Transaction value. On April 25, 2005 the Company amended its employment agreements such that in the event of a Transaction the Company's President and two Vice Presidents are entitled to receive severance pay of approximately $600,000 in the aggregate. As part of this amendment, 3 employees of the Company were granted a total of 510,000 stock options, exercisable at $1.25Cdn for 1 year from the date of grant. 12. CHANGE IN REPORTING CURRENCY & COMPARATIVE FIGURES Most of the Company's operations are conducted by its Canadian subsidiaries in Canadian dollars. As only limited operations are conducted in United States dollars the Company adopted Canadian dollars as its reporting currency effective January 1, 2003. Comparative figures for the prior period have been restated using the current rate method of currency translation as though the Canadian dollar was the reporting currency in that period. The net effect of adopting Canadian dollars as the Company's reporting currency reduces the foreign currency fluctuations recorded as a result of translating the Company's Canadian subsidiaries into US dollars. As substantially all of the operations are now in Canada, management is of the opinion that the Canadian dollar will more accurately reflect the balance sheet and the net exposure in US dollars will be appropriately recognized through the income statement. The net exposure to the US dollar will primarily come from US dollar denominated accounts such as cash and trade payables. All numbers reported in these financial statements are stated in Canadian dollars unless otherwise denoted. Certain comparative figures have been restated to confirm to the current period presentation. 13. SEASONALITY TREND INFORMATION The level of activity in the Canadian oil and gas industry is influenced by seasonal weather patterns. Wet weather and spring thaw make the ground unstable. Consequently, municipalities and provincial transportation departments enforce road bans that restrict the movement of rigs and other heavy equipment, thereby reducing activity levels. Also, certain oil and gas producing properties located in swampy terrain are only accessible during winter months. Seasonal factors and unexpected weather patterns may lead to declines in exploration and production activity and increased consumer demand or changes is supply during certain months of the year may influence the commodity prices. 11 ITEM 2 ASSURE ENERGY, INC.

*Cash flow from operations is not a measure that has any standardized meaning prescribed by Canadian GAAP and is considered a non GAAP measure. Therefore this measure may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. This measure has been presented in this MD&A as additional information regarding the company's liquidity and ability to generate funds to finance its operations. Cash flow from operations is calculated by adding back non-cash items to earnings. This number is reconciled to the net income for the year in the statement of cash flows included in the consolidated financial statements NGLs - natural gas liquids Bbls/d - barrels of oil per day Mcf/d - thousand cubic feet per day Mmcf/d - million cubic feet per day Boe/d - barrels of oil equivalent per day (A boe conversion ratio of 6 mcf: 1bbl is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead) 2 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Production For the quarter ending March 31, 2005 the average oil and NGLs production per day decreased by 285 bbls/d to 488 bbls/d compared to 773 bbls/d for the comparable period in 2004. With the sale of the Chestermere property effective January 1, 2005, there was a loss of 126 bbls/d. The Ribstone, Chauvin and Enchant areas of Alberta experienced natural declines of 126 bbls/d, 51 bbls/d and 25 bbls/d respectively. The Golden Spike area of Alberta and the Lloydminster area of Saskatchewan increased by 26 and 21 bbls/d respectively with the remaining 4 bbls/d decrease attributed to other areas. The Company's oil and NGLs production from the Chauvin, Ribstone, Golden Spike and Enchant areas of Alberta were 209 bbls/d, 136 bbls/d, 34 bbls/d and 22 bbls/d, respectively. The Company's Lloydminster area of Saskatchewan produced 67 bbls/d and 20 bbls/d were attributed to other areas. For the quarter ending March 31, 2005 the average natural gas production per day decreased by 57 mcf/d to 1,926 mcf/d compared to 1,983 mcf/d for the comparable period in 2004. The largest decrease came from the Rigel area of British Columbia, which decreased by 515 mcf/d. With the sale of the Chestermere property effective January 1, 2005, there was a loss of 210 mcf/d. The Lloydminster area of Saskatchewan and the Lomond and Royce areas of Alberta experienced decreases of 102 mcf/d, 43 mcf/d and 28 mcf/d respectively. The Currant area of British Columbia experienced the largest increase, an increase of 434 mcf/d. The Golden Spike, Enchant and Ansell/Edson areas of Alberta increased by 158 mcf/d, 106 mcf/d and 82 mcf/d respectively with the remaining 61 mcf/d increase attributed to other areas The Company's natural gas production includes 756 mcf/d and 165 mcf/d, respectively, from the West Currant and Rigel areas of British Columbia. Lloydminster in Saskatchewan produced 273 mcf/d of natural gas. The Enchant and Golden Spike areas at production levels of 318 mcf/d and 158 mcf/d respectively were the largest natural gas producing areas in Alberta. The remaining natural gas production of 256 mcf/d arose from other areas of Alberta. Prices The average oil price realized by the Company in the first quarter of 2005 was $38.22 per barrel, an increase of 14% from $33.44 per barrel in the same quarter last year. Higher average prices for oil during 2005 compared to 2004 were the major contributing factor. All oil producing properties experienced a price increase in the first quarter of 2005 over the same period in 2004 except for the Lloydminster area in Saskatchewan, which experienced a drop of $3.54 per barrel from $27.57 in 2004 to $24.03 in 2005. The average natural gas price realized by the Company in the first quarter of 2005 was $6.12 per mcf, an increase of 7% from $5.74 per mcf for the same period a year ago. Similar to oil prices, average prices for natural gas were higher in 2005 compared to 2004. All gas producing properties experienced a price increase in the first quarter of 2005 over the same quarter in 2004. Petroleum and natural gas sales Revenues from oil and natural gas production, before deduction of royalties and operating costs, decreased by $646,089 to $2,740,524 in the first quarter of 2005 compared to $3,386,613 for the same period last year. The decrease is primarily attributed to the sale of the Chestermere property effective January 1, 2005 as well as natural production declines. 3 Royalties Royalties decreased $192,216 or $0.11 per boe from $671,363 or $6.69 per boe in the first quarter of 2004 to $479,147 or $6.58 per boe in the first quarter of 2005. The major factor contributing to the decrease in royalty expense was the sale of Chestermere effective January 1, 2005 which contributed $198,000 in royalty expense in last year's first quarter. Royalties as a percentage of revenues decreased from 20% to 17%. Operating Costs Operating costs increased by $20,449 to $946,982 in the first quarter of 2005 compared to $926,533 in the same period in 2004. Operating costs on a boe basis increased by $3.77 per boe from $9.23 per boe in the first quarter of 2004 to $13.00 per boe for the first quarter of 2005. Although overall production was down for 2005 compared to 2004, a reduction in operating costs was not realized as costs of extraction increased and a number of operating expenses such as contract operating, surface rentals, mineral lease rentals, utilities, overhead charges, etc. were not entirely correlated to production. General and administrative expenses General and administrative expenses decreased $563,417 to $1,011,456 for the quarter ending March 31, 2005. The decrease is primarily attributed to the amalgamation of Quarry with the Company as duplicate administrative costs and professional fees were eliminated. Interest expense Interest expense decreased by $53,472 to $172,645 for the quarter ending March 31, 2005. The decrease is due to the Company carrying less debt quarter over quarter. In the quarter ended March 31, 2004 the Company paid approximately $30,000 in interest on $1,250,000 debt that was extinguished during 2004 and not included in the quarter ended March 31, 2005. As well, interest on the US subordinated note payable decreased approximately $10,000 compared to last quarter due to a principal reduction of CDN $1,113,000 (US $648,000). Depletion and depreciation Depletion and depreciation expense decreased by $120,919 to $1,228,475 in the first quarter of 2005 compared to $1,349,394 in the same period last year. The sale of the Chestermere property in this year's first quarter was the major factor in the decrease in depletion. On a boe basis, depletion and depreciation was $16.87 per boe for the first quarter of 2005 compared to $13.44 per boe for the same quarter a year ago. 4 Foreign Exchange In the first quarter of 2005, the Company realized a foreign exchange loss of $11,381 compared to a foreign exchange gain of $42,633 in last year's first quarter. The United States dollar amounts have been converted into Canadian dollar amounts for convenience purposes using either the average or the period end exchange rates shown below: Three months ended March 31, 2005 $1.2270 Three months ended March 31, 2004 $1.3176 As at March 31, 2005 $1.2096 As at December 31, 2004 $1.2020 Income Taxes The net future tax liability of $1,903,626 as at March 31, 2005 (2004 - $2,220,885) results primarily from the difference in the tax basis and carrying value of property, plant and equipment. In the first quarter of 2005, the Company's current tax provision was $55,854 compared to $66,330 a year ago. The Company's future tax recovery was $317,259 for the first quarter of 2005 compared to $302,869 for the same quarter last year. Equity Income The equity income arises from the Company's 39.77% interest in Keantha Holdings Inc., a private company. Net loss and net loss per share Assure recorded a net loss $850,245 or $0.04 per common share for the quarter ended March 31, 2005, compared to a net loss of $1,058,645 or $0.06 per common share for the same period in 2004.

The Company is contesting this claim and has not accrued any amounts for this litigation. Examinations for discovery have occurred and the matter is currently in abeyance as of May 30, 2005 as the plaintiff has not moved the litigation forward. Employment Agreements The Company currently has employment agreements with three employees ("Employees") of the Company. The employment agreements specify that the Employees are entitled to lump sum payments in the event that the Company is sold. In the ordinary course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries enter into contracts which contain indemnification provisions, such as loan agreements, purchase contracts, service agreements, licensing agreements, asset purchase and sale agreements, joint venture agreements, operating agreements, leasing agreements, land use agreements etc. In such contracts, the Company may indemnify counterparties to the contracts if certain events occur. These indemnification provisions vary on an agreement by agreement basis. In some cases, there are no pre-determined amounts or limits included in the indemnification provisions and the occurrence of contingent events that will trigger payment under them is difficult to predict. Therefore, the maximum potential future amount that the Company could be required to pay cannot be estimated. CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

(1) Effective August 1, 2004, the Company entered into a new lease for the rental of office space for the period to January 31, 2007. The Company is committed to payments of $87,720 per annum for rent plus a proportionate share of operating costs. The Company has also entered into a sublease that expires December 31, 2005. The Company is committed to payments of $25,704 per annum for rent plus a proportionate share of operating costs. (2) The Company's long-term debt consists of a six-year note payable (the "CDN Dollar Note") issued by its wholly owned subsidiary Oil & Gas in the principal amount of $750,000 (2004 - $800,000) and a six-year Subordinated Promissory Note Payable (the "US Dollar Note") in the principal amount of US $2,592,000, equivalent to Canadian $3,135,283 (2004 - US $2,754,000, equivalent to Canadian $3,310,308). The CDN Dollar Note was issued on December 28, 2002 and matures on December 28, 2008. The note accrues interest at 7.5% per annum. Quarterly payments of principal and interest are due on March 28, June 28, September 28 and December 28. The note is subordinated to all present and future bank debt of Oil & Gas and its subsidiaries. (3) The US Dollar Note was issued on March 15, 2003, as amended on December 5, 2003, and matures on March 15, 2009. The note accrues interest at 7.75% per annum. Quarterly payments of principal and interest are due and payable in US dollars on March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15. The note is unsecured and is subordinated to all present and future bank debt of the Company and its subsidiaries. In connection with the issuance of the Subordinated Note, the Company issued 450,000 common stock purchase warrants to purchase an equal number of the Company's common stock with an exercise price of $3.75 (US $3.10) per share. These common stock purchase warrants may be exercised at any time during the five years commencing July 1, 2003. 8 TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES Included in accounts receivable is $274,691 (2004 - $249,938) and included in accounts payable is $429,551 (2004 - $377,339) due to companies controlled by a director of the Company. These accounts receivable and payable arise as the Company and this director share an interest in oil and gas properties that the Company operates. All related party transactions have been recorded at the agreed to exchange amount, which reflects fair value. ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND CRITICAL ESTIMATES There have been no changes to the Company's accounting policies and practices and critical accounting estimates in 2005. New Canadian Accounting Pronouncements The Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA) has issued a number of accounting pronouncements, some of which may impact the Company's reported results and financial position in future periods. Financial Instruments Financial Instruments of the Company consist of cash, accounts receivable, income taxes payable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, due to shareholders, debenture payable, long term debt and bank loans. The fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying value. It is management's opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant risks associated with these financial instruments, other than foreign exchange fluctuation on a portion of the long term debt. BUSINESS RISKS Operating risks and Insurance Coverage Our business involves a variety of operating risks, including: o Blowouts, cratering and explosions; o Mechanical problems; o Uncontrolled flows of oil, natural gas or well fluids; o Fires; o Formations with abnormal pressures; o Pollution and other environmental risks; and o Natural disasters The operation of our natural gas gathering and pipeline systems also involves various risks of explosions and environmental hazards caused by pipeline leaks and ruptures. The location of pipelines near populated areas, including residential areas, commercial business centers and industrial sites, could increase these risks. Any of these events could result in loss of human life, significant damage to property, environmental pollution, impairment of our operations and substantial losses to us. In accordance with customary industry practice, we maintain insurance against some, but not all, of these risks and losses. The occurrence of any of these events not fully covered by insurance could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations. 9 Commodity Pricing and Risk Management Activities Our revenues operating results, financial condition and ability to borrow funds or obtain additional capital depend substantially on prevailing prices for natural gas and oil. Declines in oil and gas prices may materially adversely affect our financial condition, liquidity, ability to obtain financing and operating results. Lower oil and gas prices also may reduce the amount of oil and gas that we can produce economically. Historically, oil and gas prices and markets have been volatile, with prices fluctuating widely, and they are likely to continue to be volatile. Depressed prices in the future would have a negative impact on our future financial results. In particular, substantially lower prices would significantly reduce revenue and could potentially impact the outcome of our annual impairment test. The majority of our production is sold at market responsive prices. Generally, if the commodity indexes fall, the prices that we receive for our production will also decline. Therefore, the amount of revenue that we realize is partially determined by factors beyond our control. However, management may mitigate this price risk with the use of financial instruments. Environmental Regulations The Company is subject to various regulatory and statutory requirements relating to the protection of the environment. These requirements, in addition to contractual agreements and management decisions, result in the accrual of estimated future removal and site restoration costs. These costs are accrued based on estimates of reserves and future costs. Any changes in these will affect future earnings. Costs attributable to these commitments and contingencies are expected to be incurred over an extended period of time and are to be funded mainly from the Company's cash provided by operating activities. Although the ultimate impact of these matters on net earnings cannot be determined at this time, it could be material for any one-quarter or year. Kyoto The Kyoto protocol, ratified by the Canadian Federal Government in December 2002, came into force on February 16, 2005. The protocol commits Canada to reducing greenhouse gas emissions to six percent below 1990 levels over the period 2008-2012. The Federal Government released a framework outlining its Climate Change action plan on April 13, 2005. The plan as released contains few technical details regarding the implementation of the Government's greenhouse gas reduction strategy. The Climate Change Working Group of the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers continues to work with the Federal and Alberta governments to develop an approach for implementing targets and enabling greenhouse gas control legislation, which protects the industry's competitiveness, limits the cost and administrative burden of compliance and supports continued investment in the sector. As the federal government has yet to release a detailed Kyoto compliance plan, the Company is unable to predict the impact of potential regulations upon its business; however, it is possible that the Company would face increases in operating costs in order to comply with the greenhouse gas emissions legislation. Unaudited Interim Financial Statements In accordance with National Instrument 51-102 released by the Canadian Securities Administrators, the Company discloses that its auditors have not reviewed the unaudited financial statements for the periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004. 10 SEASONALITY TREND INFORMATION The level of activity in the Canadian oil and gas industry is influenced by seasonal weather patterns. Wet weather and spring thaw make the ground unstable. Consequently, municipalities and provincial transportation departments enforce road bans that restrict the movement of rigs and other heavy equipment, thereby reducing activity levels. Also, certain oil and gas producing properties located in swampy terrain are only accessible during winter months. Seasonal factors and unexpected weather patterns may lead to declines in exploration and production activity and increased consumer demand or changes is supply during certain months of the year may influence the commodity prices. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On April 21, 2005 the Company engaged the services of Haywood Securities Inc. ("Haywood") a TSE member firm, as its exclusive financial advisor to assist the Company in evaluating strategic alternatives to maximize shareholder value. In the event that such alternatives result in a merger, takeover or business combination (the "Transaction") with another company, Haywood would earn a commission equivalent to 0.9% of the Transaction value. On April 25, 2005 the Company amended its employment agreements such that in the event of a Transaction the Company's President and two Vice Presidents are entitled to receive severance pay of approximately $600,000 in the aggregate. As part of this amendment, 3 employees of the Company were granted a total of 510,000 stock options, exercisable at $1.25 Cdn for 1 year from the date of grant. 11 ITEM 3 Assure Announces first Quarter Results CALGARY, Alberta- June 1, 2005--Assure Energy, Inc.
