NATURE OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PREPARATION AND PRESENTATION


Nature of Business

Aspen Group Resources Corporation’s primary business focus is to build value through the development of its existing producing oil and gas properties by conducting an active exploitation program on these properties and pursuing the acquisition, development, and exploitation of oil and gas properties in both the United States and Canada that offer the potential for increased production while continuing to control cost.


Financial Statement Presentation

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Aspen Group Resources Corporation and Subsidiaries (collectively the "Company" or "Aspen") included herein have been prepared by Aspen without audit.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted U. S. accounting principles have been condensed or omitted, since Aspen believes that the disclosures included are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.  In the opinion of Management, the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of the dates and for the periods presented.  These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto included for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004.


Restricted Cash

During the period the Company was required to place a $1.0 million dollar bond along with a court of appeal application to appeal a lawsuit decision.  The bond issuer required $1.0 million dollars cash as collateral.


DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On October 15, 2004, Aspen and two subsidiaries closed on a transaction to sell all of their United States domiciled oil and gas properties.  Operations have been stated as discontinued as of September 30, 2005 with September 30, 2004 restated.


EARNINGS PER SHARE


Diluted earnings per share for the nine month period ending September 30, 2005 and 2004 are the same as basic earnings per share because the exercise of potentially dilutive securities would not have an effect.
