Security  Valuation-Investments  in  securities  traded   on
national  security exchanges are valued at the last reported
sale  price  on  the day of valuation. Over-the-counter  and
listed  securities for which a sale price is  not  available
are   valued  at  the  last  quoted  bid  price.  Short-term
investments  (excluding  purchased options)  are  valued  at
amortized cost. Purchased and written options are valued  at
the last quoted asked price.

For  federal  income  tax purposes, the identified  cost  of
securities  at September 30, 2006 was $405,722,907  and  net
unrealized  appreciation aggregated $407,597,195,  of  which
the  related  gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation
were $414,269,677 and $6,672,482, respectively.

8. PORTFOLIO SECURITIES LOANED
The  Corporation  makes  loans  of  securities  to  brokers,
secured  by  cash deposits, U.S. Government  securities,  or
bank  letters  of  credit.  The  Corporation  accounts   for
securities  lending  transactions as secured  financing  and
receives  compensation in the form  of  fees  or  retains  a
portion  of interest on the investment of any cash  received
as  collateral.  The Corporation also continues  to  receive
interest  or dividends on the securities loaned.  The  loans
are  secured at all times by collateral of at least 102%  of
the  fair  value  of  the  securities  loaned  plus  accrued
interest.  Gain  or  loss in the fair  value  of  securities
loaned  that may occur during the term of the loan  will  be
for  the account of the Corporation. At September 30,  2006,
the  Corporation  had securities on loan of $30,339,147  and
held  collateral of $31,187,345, consisting of an investment
trust  fund  which  may invest in money market  instruments,
commercial  paper,  repurchase  agreements,  U.S.   Treasury
Bills, and U.S. agency obligations.


Item 2.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Conclusions  of principal officers concerning  controls  and
procedures:

(a)  As of April 24, 2007, an evaluation was performed under
the  supervision and with the participation of the  officers
of Petroleum & Resources Corporation (the
"Corporation  "), including the principal executive  officer
("PEO")  and  principal financial officer  ("PFO"),  of  the
effectiveness of the Corporation's disclosure  controls  and
procedures.   Based  on that evaluation,  the  Corporation's
officers, including the PEO and PFO, concluded that,  as  of
April  24,  2007, the Corporation's disclosure controls  and
procedures  were reasonably designed so as to  ensure:   (1)
that information required to be disclosed by the Corporation
on  Form N-Q is properly recorded, processed, and summarized
in accordance with the rules and forms of the Securities and
Exchange  Commission;  and  (2)  that  material  information
relating to the Corporation is made known to the PEO and PFO
as  appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure.

Prior  to  this  evaluation,  the  Corporation  uncovered  a
weakness  in  its  disclosure controls and  procedures  that
caused this Form N-Q, which was due to be filed on or before
November  29,  2006, not to be filed timely.  This  weakness
was  primarily attributable to human error.  The 2006  Third
Quarter   Report  to  stockholders,  containing  the   exact
portfolio  information  called for in  this  Form  N-Q,  was
timely  issued and filed; however the Corporation failed  to
file  this  Form  N-Q by the due date.  To  prevent  similar
problems  in  the future, the Corporation has  modified  its
computer-based  reminder  system  to  issue  alerts  to  the
appropriate  personnel of the need to prepare and  file  the
Forms  N-Q  several times during the 60 day period  for  the
filing.

(b)    There  have  been  no  significant  changes  in   the
Corporation's internal control over financial reporting  (as
defined  in Rule 30 a-3(d) under the Investment Company  Act
of  1940  (17  CFR  270.30a-3(d)) that occurred  during  the
Corporation's  last  fiscal  quarter  that  have  materially
affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the
Corporation's internal control over financial reporting.


Item 3.  EXHIBITS.

The  certifications of the principal executive  officer  and
principal financial officer pursuant to Rule 30 a-2(a) under
the  Investment Company Act of 1940 are attached  hereto  as
Form N-Q Certifications.
