Item 4.02.
Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.

On August 11, 2008, the management of PetroHunter Energy Corporation (the “Company”), in consultation with the Audit Committee of its Board of Directors and Gordon, Hughes & Banks, LLP, its independent registered public accounting firm, determined that the unaudited financial statements for the quarterly periods ended December 31, 2007 and March 31, 2008, included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended December 31, 2007 and March 31, 2008, should not be read without also considering the effect of errors that were discovered in subsequent periods.  The Company has identified the aggregate effects of correcting these errors in their proper quarterly periods, which is set forth in the Note 14 to its financial statements included in its Quarterly Report for the quarter ended June 30, 2008.

The corrections relate primarily to an error in the Company’s accounting for detachable warrants in relation to its convertible debt issued in the fiscal first quarter ended December 31, 2007, which resulted in a significant error in the previously reported financial statements. Additionally, certain significant errors have arisen as the result of the incorrect interpretation and application of technical accounting guidance to the Company’s business circumstances.  The Company has concluded that the individual and aggregate effects of these errors do not have a material effect on its June 30, 2008 unaudited balance sheet, or on the results of its operations for the nine months ended June 30, 2008.

The Company’s management and Audit Committee discussed the above matters with Gordon, Hughes & Banks, LLP.
