NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

9(Unaudited)

~~ITEM~~NOTE ~~2. MANAGEMENT’S~~1 ~~DISCUSSION~~– ~~AND~~BASIS ~~ANALYSIS~~ OF ~~FINANCIAL CONDITION AND~~ PRESENTATION

~~RESULTS~~The OFunaudited ~~OPERATIONS~~consolidated financial statements of Silver Butte Company (“The Company”) included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Although certain information normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2010 of Gulfmark Energy Group, Inc. and the proforma consolidated financial statements (combining Silver Butte Company and Gulfmark Energy Group, Inc.) which were filed in an 8-K in January, 2011 pursuant to a share exchange agreement between Silver Butte Company and Gulfmark Energy Group, Inc.

12Prior to the share exchange agreement, Silver Butte Company had a fiscal year end of August 31st. Pursuant to the share exchange agreement; Silver Butte Company adopted the fiscal year end of Gulfmark Energy Group, Inc., which is October 31st. These consolidated financial statements for this 10-Q report include financial activity of Silver Butte Company and Gulfmark Energy Group, Inc. from February 1, 2011 through April 30, 2011. Comparative prior year financial statement information has not been presented in the consolidated statements of operations or the consolidated statement of cash flows as Gulfmark Energy Group, Inc. (which also includes its two wholly owned subsidiary corporations) did not commence business operations until August 9, 2011.

~~ITEM~~The 3consolidated financial statements included herein reflect all normal recurring adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation. ~~QUANTITATIVE~~ ~~AND~~The ~~QUALITATIVE~~results ~~DISCLOSURES~~for ~~ABOUT~~interim ~~MARKET~~periods ~~RISK~~are not necessarily indicative of trends or of results to be expected for the full year ended October 31, 2011.

14NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN

~~ITEM~~During 4the three months ended April 30, 2011, Silver Butte Company incurred a net loss of $132,290, and as of April 30, 2011, had a negative net working capital balance of $553,471. ~~CONTROLS~~ ~~AND~~These ~~PROCEDURES~~conditions raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

14In April, 2011, the Company commenced to raise cash through the issuance of convertible promissory notes in a private placement offering to accredited investors. The terms of the promissory notes are summarized as follows:

~~PART II~~ 6

~~ITEM~~Available ~~1. LEGAL~~to ~~PROCEEDINGS~~select accredited investors.

~~ITEM~~Total 3aggregate amount of cash to be raised would not exceed $250,000. ~~DEFAULTS~~ ~~UPON~~However, ~~SENIOR~~this ~~SECURITIES~~“ceiling” was raised to $400,000 subsequent to April 30th.

16·

~~ITEM~~Interest rate of 4% per annum. ~~REMOVED~~ ~~AND~~The ~~RESERVED~~Company has the option to pay interest in cash or to pay interest in kind.

16·

~~ITEM~~The 5proceeds will be used for basic working capital requirements. ~~OTHER~~ ~~INFORMATION~~

16·

~~ITEM~~The 6notes have a 24-month maturity. ~~EXHIBITS~~ At the holder’s option, repayment shall be in cash or in shares of the Company’s common stock at the rate of $0.42 per share after giving effect to the Company’s proposed reverse stock split of 40 to 1.

17·

~~SIGNATURES~~The Company grants to the note holders piggyback registration rights for the shares of common stock underlying the convertible promissory notes. These registration rights will not apply to any “qualified financing” that prohibits the Company from adding the note holders to the registration statement.

18·

In the event of any equity related issuance below the $0.42 conversion price (post reverse split), the conversion price will be reduced to the lowest price at which common stock is sold in a “qualified financing”. A “qualified financing” means an equity financing or series of related equity financings in which the Company receives at least $2,500,000 in gross aggregate cash proceeds (before commissions or other transaction related expenses, and including proceeds resulting from any conversion of the Silver Butte Company convertible promissory notes). As of April 30, 2011 the Company had raised $65,000 in cash from the issuance of these convertible promissory notes.

~~PART~~The ICompany is aware that in order to be fully operational and profitable, it will have to raise substantial capital. This needed capital could be raised through a combination of debt financing, sale of common stock, or direct joint venture participation in various drilling sites. The Company has no assurance that future financing will be available. If this additional financing is not available, the Company may be unable to continue its operations. In addition, any equity financing or convertible debt financing could result in additional dilution to existing shareholders.

~~Item~~NOTE 1.3 ~~Financial~~– ~~Information~~STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

~~SILVER~~On ~~BUTTE~~January ~~COMPANY~~12, 2011, Silver Butte Company entered into a share exchange agreement with Gulfmark Energy Group, Inc. whereby Silver Butte Company committed to issue 1,072,000,027 shares of common stock and 11,000,000 shares of series “A” preferred stock to the shareholders of Gulfmark Energy Group, Inc. in exchange for 26,800,000 shares of Gulfmark Energy Group, Inc. common stock (there were a total of 26,950,000 shares of common stock outstanding prior to the share exchange agreement, and a shareholder representing 150,000 shares of common stock elected not to participate in the share exchange agreement) and 11,000,000 shares of preferred stock. After the issuance of 1,072,000,027 shares of common stock (Silver Butte Company has only 300,000,000 authorized shares of common stock. Therefore, the articles of incorporation need to be amended in order to increase the authorized common stock to 1,100,000,000 shares.), Silver Butte Company plans to implement a forty to one reverse stock split. After this proposed reverse stock split is approved and implemented, there will be

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The unaudited consolidated financial statements of Silver Butte Company (“The Company”) included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Although certain information normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2010 of Gulfmark Energy Group, Inc. and the proforma consolidated financial statements (combining Silver Butte Company and Gulfmark Energy Group, Inc.) which were filed in an 8-K in January, 2011 pursuant to a share exchange agreement between Silver Butte Company and Gulfmark Energy Group, Inc.

Prior to the share exchange agreement, Silver Butte Company had a fiscal year end of August 31st. Pursuant to the share exchange agreement, Silver Butte Company adopted the fiscal year end of Gulfmark Energy Group, Inc., which is October 31st. These consolidated financial statements for this 10-Q report include financial activity of Silver Butte Company and Gulfmark Energy Group, Inc. from November 1, 2010 through January 31, 2011.

The consolidated financial statements included herein reflect all normal recurring adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of trends or of results to be expected for the full year ended October 31, 2011.

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN

During the three months ended January 31, 2011, Silver Butte Company incurred a net loss of $237,622 and had negative cash flows from operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

For the immediate future, the Company will attempt to raise up to $250,000 via a convertible debenture private placement to accredited investors.

The Company is aware that in order to be fully operational and profitable, it will have to raise substantial capital. This needed capital could be raised through a combination of debt financing, sale of common stock, or direct joint venture participation in various drilling sites. The Company has no assurance that future financing will be available. If this additional financing is not available, Silver Butte may be unable to continue its operations. In addition, any equity financing or convertible debt financing could result in additional dilution to existing shareholders.

For both quarters, the ~~only~~source of revenues ~~(on~~was derived from drilling operations of a ~~consolidated~~wholly ~~basis)~~owned ~~was~~subsidiary, ~~from~~which ~~one~~is Blanco Drilling, Inc. Due to the facts that there has been increased competition among oil well drilling contractors in Southwest Texas, and the contract (price per foot drilled is only around $17 to $18, Blanco Drilling has decided to put up its drilling rig for sale at an auction in the near future. Any future drilling on the Kiefer Lease (owned by another wholly owned subsidiary, Gulfmark Resources, Inc.), would be performed by outside oil and ~~totaled~~gas ~~$116~~well drilling contractors. It was originally anticipated that Blanco Drilling,~~773~~ Inc. would perform potential contract drilling operations on the Kiefer Lease.

Expenses

~~Total~~The total operating expenses for the quarter ended ~~January~~April 3130, 2011 were $~~354~~209,~~395~~240, and were primarily ~~comprised~~related ofto drilling ~~expenses~~operations (wages of $~~101~~87,~~362)~~139, ~~salary~~direct ~~expense~~expenses (to operate the drilling rig of $~~161~~64,~~333)~~873, and ~~administrative~~depreciation ~~expenses~~of (the drilling rig of $6022,~~242~~583). Direct drilling expenses will cease because the company does not envision contract drilling jobs as being profitable.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of ~~January~~April 3130, 2011, the Company ~~(consolidated corporations)~~ had a cash balance of $862,~~287~~467 and a current ~~liabilities~~liability balance of $~~483~~624,~~280.~~688, ~~Subsequent~~of which $281,987 is owed to ~~January~~the ~~31,~~president ~~2011,~~of the Company, ~~commenced~~and to$207,399 ~~raise~~represents upthe tocurrent ~~$250,000~~portion onof a ~~convertible~~contract ~~debt~~payable ~~instrument~~on ~~available~~a todrilling ~~accredited investors~~rig. ~~The~~On ~~Company~~April is30, ~~also~~2011, ~~attempting~~the toCompany ~~raise~~was ~~drilling~~three ~~funds~~months ~~for~~delinquent aton ~~least~~monthly ~~one~~payments ~~well.~~($14,653 Wedue ~~estimate~~per ~~that~~month) iton ~~will~~the ~~cost~~contract ~~approximately~~for $3the ~~million~~drilling torig. ~~drill~~The ~~and~~total ~~complete~~amount ~~one~~due ~~will~~on inthis ~~the~~contract ~~Eagle~~payable ~~Ford~~on ~~shale~~April ~~formation.~~30th was $294,146.

WeDuring ~~are~~the ~~exploring~~quarter aended ~~variety~~April of30, ~~financing~~2011, ~~options~~the ~~which~~Company ~~include~~started to raise cash through the ~~sale~~issuance of ~~equity~~convertible promissory notes (see Note 2 – Going Concern).

Subsequent to ~~our~~April ~~proposed~~30th, ~~oil~~the ~~drilling~~Company ~~plans~~has continued to raise funds through the issuance of these promissory notes.

Significant financing will be required in order to meet current obligations and projected cash flow deficits from our proposed drilling operations. There is no guarantee that the Company will be successful in raising the requisite funds or entering into joint venture agreements on terms acceptable to us.

We plan to initiate our operational activities upon the consummation of our proposed capital raising activities or joint ventures. However, if we are not successful in raising sufficient capital or finding joint venture partners on terms acceptable to us, this would have a material adverse effect on our proposed business, results of operations liquidity, and financial condition. These proposed capital raising and joint venture activities, if successful, are likely to result in substantial dilution to our existing stockholders or a reduction in the working interest in our Kiefer lease and could result in the placing of one or more liens against some or all of our assets or reducing future oil revenue cash flows, if any.

The Company’s future cash requirements will be substantial and will depend on many factors, some of which are outside the control of the Company. Such factors include the problems, delays, expenses and complications frequently encountered by oil exploration and production companies in connection with the proposed business operations and plans.

The Company may seek additional funding through public or private equity or debt financings or joint ventures. To the extent the Company raises additional capital by issuing equity securities, ownership dilution to existing stockholders will result and future investors may be granted rights superior to those of existing stockholders. There can be no assurance, however, that additional funding or joint ventures will be available to the Company on acceptable terms, or at all.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Inflation

It is our opinion that inflation has not had a material effect on our operations.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Not required for smaller reporting companies.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) that are designed to be effective in providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC”), and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

In designing and evaluating disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute assurance of achieving the desired objectives. Also, 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, 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. The design of any system of controls is based, in part, upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events and there can

beperiods nospecified ~~assurance~~in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC”), and that ~~any~~such ~~design~~information ~~will~~is ~~succeed~~accumulated inand ~~achieving~~communicated ~~its~~to ~~stated~~our ~~goals~~management ~~under~~to ~~all~~allow ~~potential~~timely ~~future~~decisions ~~conditions~~regarding required disclosure.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer (Chairman of the Board), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at a reasonable assurance level as of April 30, 2011 to cause the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods prescribed by SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer (Chairman of the Board), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal controls over financial reporting identified in connection with the requisite evaluation that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer (Chairman of the Board), does not expect that our disclosure controls or internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all errors or all instances of fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system's objectives will be 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 our 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. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and any design may not succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures. Because of the inherent limitation of a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
