Having recently announced this month that it expects fiscal 2008 revenue to increase to $5,000,000 versus $3,000,000 for fiscal 2007, Striker Oil & Gas, Inc. (OTCBB: SOIS) should have investors monitoring the stock closely. Yesterday the company, an upstream U.S. oil and gas company, issued a press release announcing that its first quarter results for fiscal 2008 reflect revenues up over 266% compared to the same period in 2007.

This is great news for the company and its investors, as the press release also states that the company increased its gross profit from oil and gas operations in excess of 300% for the same period to $700,867! According to the press release: During the quarter ended March 31, 2008, Striker Oil & Gas realized an increase in revenue of $856,787, or 266%, over the 2007 period. The company experienced an increase in crude oil and condensate sales of 2,455 barrels in 2008, or a 39% increase over 2007 levels, and an increase in the price it received for its production from $50.60 per barrel to $97.71 per barrel, or 93%. The increased crude oil sales were attributable to increased production at North Edna Field, North Sand Hill Field, its discoveries at South Creole Field and Catfish Creek Field and its acquisition of Welsh Field. Revenue the company received from natural gas sales at its South Creole Field increased to $316,856 which represented sales of 38,037 Mcf's at an average price of $8.33 per Mcf. The company reported no gas sales in the 2007 period.

Gross profit before depletion expense increased from $174,468 for the 2007 period to $700,867, an increase of 302%, for the 2008 period. As previously discussed, the company experienced a significant increase in revenue from its recent discoveries and acquisition which contributed to the increase in gross profit.

Striker Oil & Gas reported a net income applicable to common shares of $394,762, or $.02 per share (basic and diluted) for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, compared to a net loss of $1,503,884, or $0.08 per share (basic and diluted) for the quarter ended March 31, 2007.

"We are pleased that our revenue growth continued in the first quarter of the 2008 fiscal year, generated by internal growth. We are confident that our existing projects, primarily our Catfish Creek prospect, will continue to add to our revenue growth during fiscal 2008," stated Kevan Casey, CEO of Striker Oil & Gas.

For the complete report of the company's audited consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, please review the company's Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 20, 2008, at www.sec.gov.
