TABLE OF CONTENTS
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This annual report contains forward-looking statements, as defined in Section 27A of the
Securities Act of 1933, or the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, or the Exchange Act. These forward-looking statements relate to, among other things, the
following:
We have based these forward-looking statements on our current assumptions, expectations and
projections about future events.
We use the words may, expect, anticipate, estimate, believe, continue, intend,
plan, budget and other similar words to identify forward-looking statements. You should read
statements that contain these words carefully
2
because they discuss future expectations, contain
projections of results of operations or of our financial condition and/or state other
forward-looking information. We do not undertake any obligation to update or revise publicly any
forward-looking
statements, except as required by law. These statements also involve risks and
uncertainties that could cause our actual results or financial condition to materially differ from
our expectations in this annual report, including, but not limited to the risk factors identified
in Item 1 below.
We believe that it is important to communicate our expectations of future performance to our
investors. However, events may occur in the future that we are unable to accurately predict, or
over which we have no control. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on a forward-looking
statement. When considering our forward-looking statements, you should keep in mind the risk
factors and other cautionary statements in this annual report. The risk factors noted in this
annual report and other factors noted throughout this annual report provide examples of risks,
uncertainties and events that may cause our actual results to differ materially from those
contained in any forward-looking statement.
Our revenues, operating results, financial condition and ability to borrow funds or obtain
additional capital depend substantially on prevailing prices for oil and natural gas. Declines in
oil or natural gas prices may materially adversely affect our financial condition, liquidity,
ability to obtain financing and operating results. Lower oil or natural gas prices may also reduce
the amount of oil or natural gas that we can produce economically. A decline in oil and/or natural
gas prices could have a material adverse effect on the estimated value and estimated quantities of
our oil and natural gas reserves, our ability to fund our operations and our financial condition,
cash flow, results of operations and access to capital. Historically, oil and natural gas prices
and markets have been volatile, with prices fluctuating widely, and they are likely to continue to
be volatile.
PART I
ITEMS 1 and 2
. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND PROPERTY
Our History
Ignis Petroleum Corporation was incorporated in the State of Nevada on December 9, 2004.
On May 11, 2005, the stockholders of Ignis Petroleum Corporation entered into a stock exchange
agreement with Sheer Ventures, Inc. pursuant to which Sheer Ventures, Inc. issued 9,600,000 shares
of common stock in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Ignis
Petroleum Corporation. As a result of this stock exchange, Ignis Petroleum Corporation became a
wholly owned subsidiary of Sheer Ventures, Inc. The stock exchange was accounted for as a reverse
acquisition in which Ignis Petroleum Corporation acquired Sheer Ventures, Inc. in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141,
Business Combinations
. Also on May 11, 2005,
and in connection with the stock exchange, D.B. Management Ltd., a corporation owned and controlled
by Doug Berry, who was then the President, Chief Executive Officer, Secretary, Treasurer and sole
director of Sheer Ventures, Inc., agreed to sell an aggregate of 11,640,000 shares of Sheer
Ventures, Inc.s common stock to six individuals, including Philipp Buschmann, then the President,
Secretary, Treasurer and sole director of Ignis Petroleum Corporation, for $0.0167 per share for a
total purchase price of $194,000. The stock exchange and the stock purchase were both consummated
on May 16, 2005. On July 11, 2005, Sheer Ventures, Inc. changed its name to Ignis Petroleum Group,
Inc.
Our Operations
We are engaged in the exploration, development, and production of crude oil and natural gas
properties in the United States. We plan to explore for and develop crude oil and natural gas
primarily in the onshore areas of the United States Gulf Coast. During the last half of the fiscal
year ended June 30, 2008, we have focused our activities primarily on restructuring our capital
structure and the identification of additional oil and gas prospects. Although we have had
discussions with our major creditors, including, but not limited to, Yorkville Capital Advisors,
LLC (formerly Cornell Capital Partners) and Petrofinanz GMBH, we have not yet been successful in
reaching an agreement on restructuring our debt beyond its current maturity dates. Currently, we
have only a fractional interest in one producing oil and gas well. Unless our creditors agree to a
restructuring of our debt prior to the maturity date of our secured debentures in January 2009, we
will not be able
to pay our debentures when they become due and we may have to seek protection from the
bankruptcy courts or our only producing asset may be lost in foreclosure. Furthermore, in order to
finance any additional oil and gas prospects, our creditors must agree to restructure our debt
before we are able to raise additional capital. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in
ur endeavors to restructure our debt.
3
During the first half of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, we were actively engaged in the
day to day management of Ignis Barnett Shale, LLC, our joint venture with Silver Point Capital,
LLC. On December 21, 2007, following the
resignation of our Chief Executive Officer, Michael
Piazza, we were removed as the day to day manager of the joint venture by Silver Point Capital and
our services agreement with the joint venture was automatically terminated. Thereafter, the joint
venture retained Mr. Piazza and other consultants of ours to work directly for the joint venture.
Consequently, we no longer have an active role in the Ignis Barnett Shale LLC.
Our strategy is to build an energy portfolio that benefits from:
|
|
|
the maturing of new petroleum technologies, such as seismic interpretation;
|
|
|
|
|
the expected increase of oil and gas prices; and
|
|
|
|
|
the availability of short outsteps in the same play as previously-discovered
hydrocarbons.
|
We are actively seeking to acquire other oil and gas prospects, although we currently do not
have any contracts or commitments for other prospects at this time. We intend to employ and
leverage industry technology, engineering, and operating talent. We may, from time to time,
participate in high-value or fast-payback plays for short-term strategic reasons. We outsource
lower value activities so that we can focus our efforts on the earliest part of the value chain
while leveraging outstanding talent and strategic partnerships to execute our strategy. We believe
this approach will allow us to grow our business through rapid identification, evaluation and
acquisition of high-value prospects, while enabling it to use specialized industry talent and keep
overhead costs to a minimum. We believe this strategy will result in significant growth in our
reserves, production and financial strength.
Competitors
Oil and gas exploration and acquisition of undeveloped properties is a highly competitive and
speculative business. We compete with a number of other companies, including major oil companies
and other independent operators which are more experienced and which have greater financial
resources. Such companies may be able to pay more for prospective oil and gas properties.
Additionally, such companies may be able to evaluate, bid for and purchase a greater number of
properties and prospects than our financial and human resources permit. We do not hold a
significant competitive position in the oil and gas industry.
Governmental Regulations
Our operations are subject to various types of regulation at the federal, state and local
levels. Such regulation includes requiring permits for the drilling of wells; maintaining bonding
requirements in order to drill or operate wells; implementing spill prevention plans; submitting
notification and receiving permits relating to the presence, use and release of certain materials
incidental to oil and gas operations; and regulating the location of wells, the method of drilling
and casing wells, the use, transportation, storage and disposal of fluids and materials used in
connection with drilling and production activities, surface usage and the restoration of properties
upon which wells have been drilled, the plugging and abandoning of wells and the transporting of
production. Our operations are also subject to various conservation matters, including the
regulation of the size of drilling and spacing units or proration units, the number of wells which
may be drilled in a unit, and the unitization or pooling of oil and gas properties. In this regard,
some states allow the forced pooling or integration of tracts to facilitate exploration while other
states rely on voluntary pooling of lands and leases, which may make it more difficult to develop
oil and gas properties. In addition, state conservation laws establish maximum rates of production
from oil and gas wells, generally limit the venting or flaring of gas, and impose certain
requirements regarding the ratable purchase of production. The effect of these regulations is to
limit the amounts of oil and gas we may be able to produce from our wells and to limit the number
of wells or the locations at which we may be able to drill.
Our business is affected by numerous laws and regulations, including energy, environmental,
conservation, tax and other laws and regulations relating to the oil and gas industry. We plan to
develop internal procedures and policies to ensure that our operations are conducted in full and
substantial environmental regulatory compliance.
Failure to comply with any laws and regulations may result in the assessment of
administrative, civil and criminal
penalties, the imposition of injunctive relief or both. Moreover, changes in any of these laws
and regulations could have a material adverse effect on business. In view of the many uncertainties
with respect to current and future laws and regulations, including their applicability to us, we
cannot predict the overall effect of such laws and regulations on our future operations.
We believe that our operations comply in all material respects with applicable laws and
regulations and that the
4
existence and enforcement of such laws and regulations have no more
restrictive an effect on our operations than on other similar companies in the energy industry. We
do not anticipate any material capital expenditures to comply with federal and
state environmental
requirements.
Environmental
Operations on properties in which we have an interest are subject to extensive federal, state
and local environmental laws that regulate the discharge or disposal of materials or substances
into the environment and otherwise are intended to protect the environment. Numerous governmental
agencies issue rules and regulations to implement and enforce such laws, which are often difficult
and costly to comply with and which carry substantial administrative, civil and criminal penalties
and in some cases injunctive relief for failure to comply.
Some laws, rules and regulations relating to the protection of the environment may, in certain
circumstances, impose strict liability for environmental contamination. These laws render a
person or company liable for environmental and natural resource damages, cleanup costs and, in the
case of oil spills in certain states, consequential damages without regard to negligence or fault.
Other laws, rules and regulations may require the rate of oil and gas production to be below the
economically optimal rate or may even prohibit exploration or production activities in
environmentally sensitive areas. In addition, state laws often require some form of remedial
action, such as closure of inactive pits and plugging of abandoned wells, to prevent pollution from
former or suspended operations.
Legislation has been proposed in the past and continues to be evaluated in Congress from time
to time that would reclassify certain oil and gas exploration and production wastes as hazardous
wastes. This reclassification would make these wastes subject to much more stringent storage,
treatment, disposal and clean-up requirements, which could have a significant adverse impact on
operating costs. Initiatives to further regulate the disposal of oil and gas wastes are also
proposed in certain states from time to time and may include initiatives at the county and
municipal government levels. These various initiatives could have a similar adverse impact on
operating costs.
The regulatory burden of environmental laws and regulations increases our cost and risk of
doing business and consequently affects our profitability. The federal Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability Act, or CERCLA, also known as the Superfund law, imposes
liability, without regard to fault, on certain classes of persons with respect to the release of a
hazardous substance into the environment. These persons include the current or prior owner or
operator of the disposal site or sites where the release occurred and companies that transported,
disposed or arranged for the transport or disposal of the hazardous substances found at the site.
Persons who are or were responsible for releases of hazardous substances under CERCLA may be
subject to joint and several liability for the costs of cleaning up the hazardous substances that
have been released into the environment and for damages to natural resources, and it is not
uncommon for the federal or state government to pursue such claims.
It is also not uncommon for neighboring landowners and other third parties to file claims for
personal injury or property or natural resource damages allegedly caused by the hazardous
substances released into the environment. Under CERCLA, certain oil and gas materials and products
are, by definition, excluded from the term hazardous substances. At least two federal courts have
held that certain wastes associated with the production of crude oil may be classified as hazardous
substances under CERCLA. Similarly, under the federal Resource, Conservation and Recovery Act, or
RCRA, which governs the generation, treatment, storage and disposal of solid wastes and
hazardous wastes, certain oil and gas materials and wastes are exempt from the definition of
hazardous wastes. This exemption continues to be subject to judicial interpretation and
increasingly stringent state interpretation. During the normal course of operations on properties
in which we have an interest, exempt and non-exempt wastes, including hazardous wastes, that are
subject to RCRA and comparable state statutes and implementing regulations are generated or have
been generated in the past. The federal Environmental Protection Agency and various state agencies
continue to promulgate regulations that limit the disposal and permitting options for certain
hazardous and non-hazardous wastes.
We believe that the operators of the properties in which we have an interest are in
substantial compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations relating to the control of air
emissions at all facilities on those properties. Although we
maintain insurance against some, but not all, of the risks described above, including insuring
the costs of clean-up operations, public liability and physical damage, our insurance may not be
adequate to cover all such costs, that the insurance will continue to be available in the future or
that the insurance will be available at premium levels that justify our purchase. The occurrence of
a significant event not fully insured or indemnified against could have a material adverse effect
on our financial condition and operations. Compliance with environmental requirements, including
financial assurance requirements and the costs associated with the cleanup of any spill, could have
a material adverse effect on our capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position. We do
believe, however, that our operators are in substantial compliance with current applicable
5
environmental laws and regulations. Nevertheless, changes in environmental laws have the potential
to adversely affect operations. At this time, we have no plans to make any material capital
expenditures for environmental control facilities.
Employees
As of June 30, 2008, we only have 2 employees, our interim President, Chief Executive Officer
and Treasurer and our Chief Financial Officer. Many of the daily operational tasks of the Company
are performed by consultants.
Our Properties
As of June 30, 2008 and 2007, we had an interest in the following oil and gas prospects in the
United States onshore Gulf Coast region, primarily located in Texas and Louisiana.
Acom A-6 Prospect
We have 25% of the working interest, which is equal to an 18.75% net revenue interest, in the
Acom A-6 Prospect, which is located in Chambers County, Texas. Kerr-McGee Oil & Gas Onshore LP,
d/b/a KMOG Onshore LP is the operator of the prospect and holds the remainder of the working
interest. Drilling of this prospect commenced production in August 2005 and was completed in
October 2005. The Acom A-6 currently holds proved reserves of 6,210 bbls of oil and 20,990 mcf of
gas and is producing oil and gas.
Crimson Bayou Prospect
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 we had the right to earn 25% of the working interest,
which was equal to a 17.88% net revenue interest, in the test well before payout and 20% of the
working interest, which was equal to a 14.3% net revenue interest, after payout in the Crimson
Bayou Prospect, which is located in Iberville Parish, Louisiana. Range Production L, L.P. was the
operator of the prospect and would have held the remainder of the working interest. Drilling of the
first test well on the prospect was expected to commence in 2007. We have decided not to pursue
this prospect and we were refunded our investment of $115,724.
Barnett Shale Property
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 we held a 12.5% of the working interest, which was
equal to a 9.38% net revenue interest before payout and 10% of the working interest, which was
equal to a 7.5% net revenue interest after payout, in three wells located in the Barnett Shale
trend in Greater Fort Worth Basin, Texas. Rife Energy Operating, Inc. is the operator of the
prospect and holds a majority of the remaining working interest. All three wells have been drilled.
One well has been completed and is producing oil and gas. The other two wells were drilled and were
non-commercial. The leases expired and we recorded abandonment expense of $348,200 during the
fiscal year ending June 30, 2007. We also recorded a write down of the underlying value of the
producing well to zero as the reserve value was substantially lower than the asset net book value
of $201,332. No other costs were incurred for this property for the year ended June 30, 2008.
Sherburne Prospect
On May 5, 2006 we entered into a participation agreement to drill the Sherburne Field
Development prospect, located in Pointe Coupee Parish, Louisiana. Under the terms of the agreement,
we will pay 15% of the drilling, testing and completion costs. Upon completion, we will earn a 15%
working interest in the well before payout and an 11.25% working interest in the well after payout.
Drilling operations commenced in August 2006 and were finished in September 2006. Multiple gas
zones were detected. The commercial viability of the gas zones were tested in October 2006. The
Sherburne Prospect is currently unproved. We do not believe the operator will develop this prospect
due to the lack of commercial viability of the gas zones and we recorded a write down of the asset
to zero totaling $172,740 for the year ended June 30,
2007. We did not incur further costs associated with this project in 2008.
Ignis Barnett Shale Joint Venture
On November 15, 2006, we entered into a joint venture with affiliates of Silver Point Capital,
L.P. through a limited liability company named Ignis Barnett Shale, LLC. The joint venture acquired
45% of the interests in the acreage, oil and natural gas producing properties and natural gas
gathering and treating system located in the St. Jo Ridge Field in the North
6
Texas Fort Worth Basin
then held by W.B. Osborn Oil & Gas Operations, Ltd. and St. Jo Pipeline, Limited. The purchase
price for the acquisition was $17,600,000, subject to certain adjustments, plus $850,000 payable by
Ignis Barnett Shale in
thirty-six monthly installments of $23,611, beginning one month after
closing. In addition, Ignis Barnett Shale agreed to fund additional lease acquisitions up to a
total of $5,000,000 for a period of two years.
Under the terms of Ignis Barnett Shales operating agreement, we agreed to manage the
day-to-day operations of Ignis Barnett Shale, subject to Silver Points power to remove us as a
manager in their sole and absolute discretion, and the Silver Point affiliates agreed to fund 100%
of the purchase price of the transaction and 100% of future acreage acquisitions and development
costs of Ignis Barnett Shale to the extent approved by Silver Point. Ignis Barnett Shales budget,
its operating plan, financial and hedging arrangements, if any, and generally all other material
decisions affecting Ignis Barnett Shale are subject to the approval of Silver Point. We assigned
our intellectual property directly related to the Ignis Barnet Shale all of our intellectual
property related to the joint venture and its activities. On December 21, 2007, Silver Point
exercised its right to remove us as a manager of Ignis Barnett Shale and since that date we have
not been actively engaged in the day to day management of Ignis Barnett Shale. Distributions from
Ignis Barnett Shale will be made when and if declared by Silver Point as follows:
|
(i)
|
|
To the Silver Point affiliates pro rata until the Silver Point affiliates have received
an amount equal to their aggregate capital contributions; then
|
|
|
(ii)
|
|
100% to the Silver Point affiliates pro rata until they have received an amount
representing a rate of return equal to 12%, compounded annually, on their aggregate capital
contributions; then
|
|
|
(iii)
|
|
100% to us until the amount distributed to us under this clause (iii) equals 12.5% of
all amounts distributed pursuant to clauses (ii) and (iii); then
|
|
|
(iv)
|
|
87.5% to the Silver Point affiliates pro rata and 12.5% to us until the amount
distributed to the Silver Point affiliates represents a return equal to 20%, compounded
annually, on their aggregate capital contributions; then
|
|
|
(v)
|
|
100% to us until the amount distributed to us under clauses (iii), (iv), and (v) equals
20% of all amounts distributed pursuant to clauses (ii), (iii), (iv), and (v); then
|
|
|
(vi)
|
|
80% to the Silver Point affiliates pro rata and 20% to us until the amount distributed
to the Silver Point affiliates represents a return equal to 30%, compounded annually, on
their aggregate capital contributions; then
|
|
|
(vii)
|
|
100% to us until the amount distributed to us under clauses (iii), (iv), (v), (vi),
and (vii) equals 25% of all amounts distributed pursuant to clauses (ii), (iii), (iv), (v),
(vi), and (vii); then
|
|
|
(viii)
|
|
75% to the Silver Point affiliates pro rata and 25% to us until the amount distributed to
the Silver Point affiliates represents a return equal to 60%, compounded annually, on their
aggregate capital contributions; then
|
|
|
(ix)
|
|
50% to the Silver Point affiliates pro rata and 50% to us.
|
We also agreed not to make any additional investments in parts of three North Texas counties,
the area of mutual interest that Ignis Barnett Shale established with W.B. Osborn Oil & Gas
Operations, until the joint venture has satisfied its obligation to W.B. Osborn Oil & Gas
Operations to purchase an additional $5 million of acreage. Thereafter, the joint venture will have
a right of first offer on any future investment opportunity we desire to make in the area of mutual
interest. If the joint venture does not exercise its right of first offer, we can pursue the
opportunity, subject to some limitations during the first 18 months after the joint venture
completes the $5 million additional investment with W.B. Osborn Oil & Gas Operations. If the joint
venture exercises its right to pursue an opportunity, we will have the opportunity to co-invest up
to 50% of such investment up to $10 million.
For the year ended June 30, 2008, we have not earned our share of equity and therefore we have
not recorded any financial transactions relating to this venture. During the first six months of
the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, we charged a management fee to the partnership to handle
day-to-day operations. During the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, management fees were paid to
us in the amount of $90,000 and $142,500, respectively.
On December 21, 2007, our Services Agreement, dated November 15, 2006, with Ignis Barnett
Shale, LLC (IBS) was automatically terminated pursuant to its term upon our removal as the B
Manager of the Amended and Restated
7
Limited Liability Company Agreement of IBS, dated November 15,
2006 (the LLC Agreement), by Silver Point Capital L.P. (Silver Point). The Services Agreement
was entered into on November 15, 2006 for the purpose of providing
management and administrative
services to IBS in exchange for payment of $50,750 per month during the initial 12 months and
$43,250 per month thereafter. The LLC Agreement remains in effect and unchanged.
Liberty Hills Prospect
On September 6, 2007, Ignis Louisiana Salt Basin, LLC (ILSB), our wholly owned subsidiary,
entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the Purchase Agreement) with Anadarko Petroleum
Corporation (Anadarko) providing for the sale by Anadarko to ILSB of Anadarkos interests in the
acreage and oil and natural gas producing properties in the Liberty Hills prospect, located in
Bienville Parish, Louisiana (the Properties). The purchase price of the acquisition was to be
$3,000,000 in cash, subject to customary adjustments more fully described in the Purchase
Agreement.
The Purchase Agreement required the parties to close on the acquisition no later than
September 28, 2007. Due to our inability to finalize terms of funding necessary to acquire the
Properties by this deadline, the Purchase Agreement terminated by its own terms on September 28,
2007. Termination of the Purchase Agreement terminated all obligations and liabilities of the
parties to one another and to any third party under the Purchase Agreement. We incurred no material
penalties under the Purchase Agreement as a result of its termination.

Our oil and natural gas production is sold on the spot market and we do not have any production
that is subject to firm commitment contracts. For the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, purchases
by Denbury Onshore, LLC represented 99.8% and 97.0% of our revenues, respectively. We believe that
we would be able to locate an alternate customer in the event of the loss of this customer.

Office Lease
We maintain our principal executive office at 7160 Dallas Parkway, Suite 380, Plano, Texas
75024. Our telephone number at that office is (972) 526-5250 and our facsimile number is (972)
526-5251. We entered into a 60 month lease effective May 1, 2007. Our current office space consists
of approximately 5,200 square feet. Our lease payment is $10,404 per month for the first 25 months,
$10,729.13 per month for months 26 through 49, and $10,054 per month for the remaining months.
Utilities are expected to be $1,070 per month unless there is a rate adjustment. We paid a security
deposit of $8,500 which is refundable upon expiration of the lease.
Given our current staffing levels, we believe the current office space is greater than our
needs required and, therefore, we are investigating subleasing our current office space to reduce
costs. We do not anticipate any difficulty securing alternative space more in line with our current
needs and staffing levels.
Risk Factors
Risks Relating to Our Current Financing Arrangement
:
Unless We Are Successful in Restructuring Our Secured Debt, We May Be Forced to Seek Protection
From the Bankruptcy Court and Lose Our Only Producing Oil and Gas Well to Foreclosure.
In January 2006, we entered into a securities purchase agreement, as amended and restated, for
the sale of $5,000,000 principal amount of secured convertible debentures and accruing annual
interest of 7%. The secured convertible debentures are due and payable in January 2009, unless
sooner converted into shares of our common stock. Unless we are successful in negotiating a restructuring of our secured debentures, we will not
be able to pay our secured debentures when they become due in January 2009, and we may be forced to
seek bankruptcy protection and lose our only producing oil and gas well to foreclosure. Although we
have had numerous discussions with our creditors about recapitalizing the Company, we have not yet
been successful in doing so and we cannot assure you that we will reach an agreement with our
creditors to recapitalize the Company.
The Continuously Adjustable Conversion Price Feature of Our Secured Convertible Debentures
Could Require Us to Issue a Substantially Greater Number of Shares, Which Will Cause Dilution to
Our Existing Stockholders.
Our obligation to issue shares upon conversion of our secured convertible debentures is
essentially limitless. The number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of our
secured convertible debentures will increase if the market price of our stock declines, which will
cause dilution to our existing stockholders.
The Continuously Adjustable Conversion Price Feature of Our Secured Convertible Debentures May
Encourage Investors to Make Short Sales in Our Common Stock, Which Could Have a Depressive Effect
on the Price of Our Common Stock.
The secured convertible debentures are convertible into shares of our common stock at a 6%
discount to the trading price of the common stock prior to the conversion. The downward pressure on
the price of the common stock as the selling stockholder converts and sells material amounts of
common stock could encourage short sales by investors. Short sales by investors could place further
downward pressure on the price of the common stock. The selling stockholder could sell common stock
into the market in anticipation of covering the short sale by converting their securities, which
could cause the further downward pressure on the stock price. In addition, not only the sale of
shares issued upon conversion of secured convertible debentures, but also the mere perception that
these sales could occur, may adversely affect the market price of the common stock.
The Issuance of Shares Upon Conversion of the Secured Convertible Debentures and Exercise of
Outstanding Warrants May Cause Immediate and Substantial Dilution to Our Existing Stockholders.
There
are a large number of shares underlying our secured convertible
debentures. The continued issuance of shares upon conversion of the secured convertible debentures and exercise of
warrants may result in substantial dilution to the interests of other stockholders since the
selling stockholder may ultimately convert and sell the full amount issuable on conversion.
Although the holder of our secured convertible debentures and related
warrants, YA Global (formerly Cornell Capital Partners), may not
fully convert their secured convertible debentures if such conversion would cause
them to own more than 4.99% of our outstanding common stock, this restriction does not prevent
it from converting and/or exercising some of their holdings and then
later converting the rest of their holdings. There is no other upper limit on the number of
shares that may be issued upon conversion of the secured convertible
debentures and such conversions have the
effect of further diluting the proportionate equity interest and
voting power of other holders of our
common stock.
Our Outstanding Secured Convertible Debentures are Due in January 2009, and Our Failure to Repay
the Convertible Debentures, Could Result in Legal Action Against us, Which Could Require the Sale
or Foreclosure of Substantial Assets Including our Only Producing Oil and Gas Well.
Any
event of default in connection with our secured convertible
debentures such as our failure to repay
the principal or interest when due, our failure to issue shares of common stock upon conversion by
the holder, our failure to timely file a registration statement or have such registration statement
declared effective, breach of any covenant, representation or warranty in the securities purchase
agreement, as amended and restated, or related secured convertible debentures, the assignment or
appointment of a receiver to control a substantial part of our property or business, the filing of
a money judgment, writ or similar process against us in excess of $50,000, the commencement of a
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or liquidation proceeding against us and the delisting of
our common stock could require the early repayment of the secured convertible debentures, including
default interest rate on the outstanding principal balance of the secured convertible debentures if
the default is not cured with the specified grace period. If we were required to repay the secured
convertible debentures, we would be required to use our limited working capital and raise
a significant amount of additional funds. If we were unable to repay the secured convertible debentures when required, the
debenture holders could commence legal action against us and
foreclose on all of our assets to recover the amounts due. Any such action would likely
require us to cease operations.
10
If an Event of Default Occurs under the Second Amended and Restated Securities Purchase Agreement,
Secured Convertible Debentures or Security Agreements, the Investor Could Take Possession of all
Our Goods, Inventory, Contractual Rights and General Intangibles, Receivables, Documents,
Instruments, Chattel Paper, and Intellectual Property.
In
connection with the secured convertible debentures and the securities purchase agreement, as amended and restated, we executed a
security agreement in favor of the investor granting it a first priority security interest in all
of our goods, inventory, contractual rights and general intangibles, receivables, documents,
instruments, chattel paper, and intellectual property. The security agreement states that if an
event of default occurs under the securities purchase agreement, as amended and restated, secured
convertible debentures or security agreement, the investor has the right to take possession of the
collateral, to operate our business using the collateral, and has the right to assign, sell, lease
or otherwise dispose of and deliver all or any part of the collateral, at public or private sale or
otherwise to satisfy our obligations under these agreements.
Risks Relating to Our Business
:
We Have a History Of Losses Which May Continue, Which May Negatively Impact Our Ability to Achieve
Our Business Objectives.
We
incurred a net loss of $1,301,705 and net income of $344,151 for our fiscal years ending
June 30, 2008, and June 30, 2007, respectively. We may not be able to achieve or sustain
profitability on a quarterly or annual basis in the future. Our operations are subject to the risks
and competition inherent in the establishment of a business enterprise. Our future operations may
not be profitable. Revenues and profits, if any, will depend upon various factors, including
whether we will be able to continue expansion of our revenue. We may not achieve our business
objectives and the failure to achieve such goals would have an adverse impact on us.
Our Independent Auditors Have Expressed Substantial Doubt About Our Ability to Continue As a Going
Concern, Which May Hinder Our Ability to Obtain Future Financing.
In their report dated October 13, 2008, our independent auditors expressed substantial doubt
about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is an
issue raised as a result of recurring losses from operations, lack of sufficient working capital
and our dependence on outside financing. We continue to experience net operating losses. Our
ability to continue as a going concern is subject to our ability to generate a profit and/or obtain
necessary funding from outside sources, including obtaining additional funding from the sale of our
securities, increasing sales or obtaining loans and grants from various financial institutions
where possible. Our continued net operating losses increase the difficulty in meeting such goals
and such methods may not prove successful.
We Have a Limited Operating History and if We are not Successful in Continuing to Grow Our
Business, Then We may have to Scale Back or Even Cease Our Ongoing Business Operations.
We have a limited history of revenues from operations and have limited tangible assets. We
have yet to generate any profits and we may never operate profitably. We have a limited operating
history and just recently emerged from the exploration stage and began producing oil and/or gas.
Our success is significantly dependent on a successful acquisition, drilling, completion and
production program. Our operations will be subject to all the risks inherent in the establishment
of a new enterprise and the uncertainties arising from the absence of a significant operating
history. We may be unable to locate recoverable reserves or operate on a profitable basis. We are
not an established company and potential investors should be aware of the difficulties normally
encountered by enterprises in the early stages of their development. If our business plan is not
successful, and we are not able to operate profitably, investors may lose some or all of their
investment in our company.
Because We Are Small and Do Not Have Much Capital, We May Have to Limit our Exploration and
Development Activity Which May Result in a Loss of Your Investment.
Because we are small and do not have much capital, we must limit our exploration and
development activity. As such we may not be able to complete an exploration and development program
that is as thorough as we would like. In that event, existing reserves may go undiscovered. Without
finding reserves, we cannot generate revenues and you will lose your investment.
If We Are Unable to Successfully Recruit Qualified Managerial and Field Personnel Having Experience
in Oil and
11
Gas Exploration, We May Not Be Able to Continue Our Operations.
In order to successfully implement and manage our business plan, we will be dependent upon,
among other things, successfully recruiting qualified managerial and field personnel having
experience in the oil and gas exploration business. Our current management team does not have a lot
of technical experience in the oil and gas field. Competition for qualified individuals is intense.
We may not be able to find, attract and retain existing employees and we may not be able to find,
attract and retain qualified personnel on acceptable terms. If we are unable to find, attract and
retain qualified personnel with technical expertise, our business operations could be harmed.
We Are Currently Dependent on Other Oil and Gas Operators for Operations on Our Prospects.
All of our current operations are prospects in which we own a minority interest. As a result,
the drilling and operations are conducted by other operators, upon which we are reliant for
successful drilling and revenues. In addition, as a result of our dependence on others for
operations on our properties, we do not have any control over the timing, cost or rate of
development on such properties. As a result, drilling operations may not occur in a timely manner
or take more time than we anticipate as well as resulting in higher expenses. The inability of
these operators to adequately staff or conduct operations on these prospects could have a material
adverse effect on our revenues and operating results.
The Potential Profitability of Oil and Gas Ventures Depends Upon Factors Beyond Our Control.
The potential profitability of oil and gas properties is dependent upon many factors beyond
our control. For instance, world prices and markets for oil and gas are unpredictable, highly
volatile, potentially subject to governmental fixing, pegging, controls, or any combination of
these and other factors, and respond to changes in domestic, international, political, social, and
economic environments. Additionally, due to worldwide economic uncertainty, the availability and
cost of funds for production and other expenses have become increasingly difficult, if not
impossible, to project. These changes and events may materially affect our financial performance.
Adverse weather conditions can also hinder drilling operations. A productive well may become
uneconomic in the event water or other deleterious substances are encountered which impair or
prevent the production of oil and/or gas from the well. In addition, production from any well may
be unmarketable if it is impregnated with water or other deleterious substances. The marketability
of oil and gas which may be acquired or discovered will be affected by numerous factors beyond our
control. These factors include the proximity and capacity of oil and gas pipelines and processing
equipment, market fluctuations of prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, allowable production and
environmental protection. These factors cannot be accurately predicted and the combination of these
factors may result in us not receiving an adequate return on invested capital.
The Oil And Gas Industry Is Highly Competitive And There Is No Assurance That We Will Be Successful
In Acquiring Leases.
The oil and gas industry is intensely competitive. We compete with numerous individuals and
companies, including many major oil and gas companies, which have substantially greater technical,
financial and operational resources and staffs. Accordingly, there is a high degree of competition
for desirable oil and gas leases, suitable properties for drilling operations and necessary
drilling equipment, as well as for access to funds. We cannot predict if the necessary funds can be
raised or that any projected work will be completed.
The Marketability of Natural Resources Will be Affected by Numerous Factors Beyond Our Control
Which May Result in Us not Receiving an Adequate Return on Invested Capital to be Profitable or
Viable.
The marketability of natural resources which may be acquired or discovered by us will be
affected by numerous factors beyond our control. These factors include market fluctuations in oil
and gas pricing and demand, the proximity and capacity of natural resource markets and processing
equipment, governmental regulations, land tenure, land use, regulations concerning the importing
and exporting of oil and gas and environmental protection regulations. The exact effect of these
factors cannot be accurately predicted, but the combination of these factors may result in us not
receiving an adequate return on invested capital to be profitable or viable.
Oil and Gas Operations are Subject to Comprehensive Regulation Which May Cause Substantial Delays
or Require Capital Outlays in Excess of Those Anticipated Causing an Adverse Effect on Our Company.
12
Oil and gas operations are subject to federal, state, and local laws relating to the
protection of the environment, including laws regulating removal of natural resources from the
ground and the discharge of materials into the environment. Oil and gas operations are also subject
to federal, state, and local laws and regulations which seek to maintain health and safety
standards by regulating the design and use of drilling methods and equipment. Various permits from
government bodies are required for drilling operations to be conducted; no assurance can be given
that such permits will be received. Environmental standards imposed by federal or local authorities
may be changed and any such changes may have material adverse effects on our activities. Moreover,
compliance with such laws may cause substantial delays or require capital outlays in excess of
those anticipated, thus causing an adverse effect on us. Additionally, we may be subject to
liability for pollution or other environmental damages which we may elect not to insure against due
to prohibitive premium costs and other reasons. To date we have not been required to spend any
material amount on compliance with environmental regulations. However, we may be required to do so
in future and this may affect our ability to expand or maintain our operations.
Exploration and Production Activities are Subject to Environmental Regulations Which May Prevent or
Delay the Commencement or Continuance of Our Operations.
In general, our exploration and production activities are subject to federal, state and local
laws and regulations relating to environmental quality and pollution control. Such laws and
regulations increase the costs of these activities and may prevent or delay the commencement or
continuance of a given operation. Compliance with these laws and regulations has not had a material
effect on our operations or financial condition to date. Specifically, we are subject to
legislation regarding emissions into the environment, water discharges and storage and disposition
of hazardous wastes. In addition, legislation has been enacted which requires well and facility
sites to be abandoned and reclaimed to the satisfaction of state authorities. However, such laws
and regulations are frequently changed and we are unable to predict the ultimate cost of
compliance. Generally, environmental requirements do not appear to affect us any differently or to
any greater or lesser extent than other companies in the industry. We believe that our operations
comply, in all material respects, with all applicable environmental regulations. Our operating
partners maintain insurance coverage customary to the industry; however, we are not fully insured
against all possible environmental risks.
Exploratory Drilling Involves Many Risks and We May Become Liable for Pollution or Other
Liabilities Which May Have an Adverse Effect on Our Financial Position.
Drilling operations generally involve a high degree of risk. Hazards such as unusual or
unexpected geological formations, power outages, labor disruptions, blow-outs, sour gas leakage,
fire, inability to obtain suitable or adequate machinery, equipment or labor, and other risks are
involved. We may become subject to liability for pollution or hazards against which we cannot
adequately insure or which we may elect not to insure. Incurring any such liability may have a
material adverse effect on our financial position and operations.
Any Change to Government Regulation/Administrative Practices May Have a Negative Impact on Our
Ability to Operate and Our Profitability.
The laws, regulations, policies or current administrative practices of any government body,
organization or regulatory agency in the United States or any other jurisdiction, may be changed,
applied or interpreted in a manner which will fundamentally alter our ability to carry on our
business.
The actions, policies or regulations, or changes thereto, of any government body or regulatory
agency, or other special interest groups, may have a detrimental effect on us. Any or all of these
situations may have a negative impact on our ability to operate and/or our profitably.
Risk relating to our financial statements for material weakness in controls
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of our
disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act as of the end of
the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule
13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were not effective as of June 30, 2008.
Our management has identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting,
as defined in the standards by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. The Companys
material weaknesses in internal control are (a) insufficient entity level controls caused by a lack
of senior management oversight and absence of corporate governance structure and (b) lack of
segregation of duties and the lack of sufficient accounting expertise in the financial reporting
process
13
to support sufficient review and approval procedures and timely filing of financial
statements. However, the Company believes the costs of remediation outweigh the benefits given the
limited operations of the Company. Inability to correct the material weakness may have a material
adverse effect on our compliance with financial reporting.
Risks Relating to Our Common Stock
:
There Are a Large Number of Shares Underlying Our Outstanding Convertible Securities and Warrants
That May be Available for Future Sale and the Sale of These Shares May Depress the Market Price of
Our Common Stock.
As of June 30, 2008, we had 57,841,982 shares of common stock, net of 18,250,000 shares held
in escrow related to our loan agreement with YA Global (formerly
Cornell Capital Partners, LP), issued and
outstanding, secured convertible debentures issued and outstanding that may be converted into
1,131,678,487 shares of common stock based on the market price of our common stock on June 30,
2008, and outstanding warrants to purchase 12,000,000 shares of common stock. The
sale of these shares may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
If We Fail to Remain Current in Our Reporting Requirements, We Could be Removed From the OTC
Bulletin Board Which Would Limit the Ability of Broker-Dealers to Sell Our Securities and the
Ability of Stockholders to Sell Their Securities in the Secondary Market.
Companies trading on the OTC Bulletin Board, such as us, must be reporting issuers under
Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and must be current in their reports
under Section 13 or 15(d), in order to maintain price quotation privileges on the OTC Bulletin
Board. If we fail to remain current on our reporting requirements, we could be removed from the OTC
Bulletin Board. As a result, the market liquidity for our securities could be severely adversely
affected by limiting the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and the ability of
stockholders to sell their securities in the secondary market.
Our Common Stock is Subject to the Penny Stock Rules of the SEC and the Trading Market in Our
Securities is Limited, Which Makes Transactions in Our Stock Cumbersome and May Reduce the Value of
an Investment in Our Stock.
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes the definition
of a penny stock, for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price
of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to
certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require:
|
|
|
that a broker or dealer approve a persons account for transactions in penny
stocks; and
|
|
|
|
|
the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the
transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be
purchased.
|
In order to approve a persons account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must:
|
|
|
obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the
person; and
|
|
|
|
|
make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are
suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in
financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny
stocks.
|
The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a
disclosure schedule prescribed by the Commission relating to the penny stock market, which, in
highlight form:
|
|
|
sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability
determination; and
|
|
|
|
|
that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the
investor prior to the transaction.
|
Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the
penny stock rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our common stock
and cause a decline in the market value of our stock.
14
Glossary Of Selected Oil and Natural Gas Terms
3D or 3D SEISMIC. An exploration method of sending energy waves or sound waves into the
earth and recording the wave reflections to indicate the type, size, shape, and depth of subsurface
rock formations. 3D seismic provides three-dimensional pictures.
Bbl. One stock tank barrel, or 42 U.S. gallons liquid volume, used herein in reference to
crude oil or other liquid hydrocarbons.
BOE. Barrels of oil equivalent. BTU equivalent of six thousand cubic feet (Mcf) of natural
gas which is equal to the BTU equivalent of one barrel of oil.
BTU. British Thermal Unit.
DEVELOPMENT WELL A well drilled within the proved boundaries of an oil or natural gas
reservoir with the intention of completing the stratigraphic horizon known to be productive.
DISCOUNTED PRESENT VALUE. The present value of proved reserves is an estimate of the
discounted future net cash flows from each property at the specified date, or as otherwise
indicated. Net cash flow is defined as net revenues, after deducting production and ad valorem
taxes, less future capital costs and operating expenses, but before deducting federal income taxes.
The future net cash flows have been discounted at an annual rate of 10% to determine their present
value. The present value is shown to indicate the effect of time on the value of the revenue
stream and should not be construed as being the fair market value of the properties. In accordance
with Securities and Exchange Commission rules, estimates have been made using constant oil and
natural gas prices and operating costs at the specified date, or as otherwise indicated.
DRY HOLE. A development or exploratory well found to be incapable of producing either oil or
natural gas in sufficient quantities to justify completion as an oil or natural gas well.
EXPLORATORY WELL A well drilled to find and produce oil or natural gas in an unproved area,
to find a new reservoir in a field previously found to be productive of oil or natural gas in
another reservoir, or to extend a known reservoir.
GROSS ACRES or GROSS WELLS. The total number of acres or wells, as the case may be, in
which a working or any type of royalty interest is owned.
Mcf. One thousand cubic feet of natural gas.
NET ACRES. or NET WELLS. The sum of the fractional working or any type of royalty
interests owned in gross acres or gross wells, as applicable.
PRODUCING WELL or PRODUCTIVE WELL.A well that is capable of producing oil or natural gas
in economic quantities.
PROVED DEVELOPED RESERVES. The oil and natural gas reserves that can be expected to be
recovered through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods. Additional oil and
natural gas expected to be obtained through the application of fluid injection or other improved
recovery techniques for supplementing the natural forces and mechanisms of primary recovery should
be included as proved developed reserves only after testing by a pilot project or after the
operation of an installed program has confirmed through production response that increased recovery
will be achieved.
PROVED RESERVES. The estimated quantities of crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids
that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in
future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions.
PROVED UNDEVELOPED RESERVES. The oil and natural gas reserves that are expected to be
recovered from new wells on undrilled acreage or from existing wells where a relatively major
expenditure is required for recompletion. Reserves on undrilled acreage are limited to those
drilling units offsetting productive units that are reasonably certain of
15
production when drilled. Proved reserves for other undrilled units can be claimed only where
it can be demonstrated with certainty that there is continuity of production from the existing
productive formation. Under no circumstances should estimates for proved undeveloped reserves be
attributable to any acreage for which an application of fluid injection or other improved recovery
techniques is contemplated, unless such techniques have been proved effective by actual tests in
the area and in the same reservoir.
STANDARDIZED MEASURE. Under the Standardized Measure, future cash flows are estimated by
applying year-end prices, adjusted for fixed and determinable changes, to the estimated future
production of year-end proved reserves. Future cash inflows are reduced by estimated future
production and development costs based on period-end costs to determine pretax cash inflows. Future
income taxes are computed by applying the statutory tax rate to the excess inflows over a companys
tax basis in the associated properties.
Tax credits, net operating loss carryforwards and permanent differences also are considered in
the future tax calculation. Future net cash inflows after income taxes are discounted using a 10%
annual discount rate to arrive at the Standardized Measure.
WORKING INTEREST. The operating interest (not necessarily as operator) that gives the owner
the right to drill, produce and conduct operating activities on the property and a share of
production, subject to all royalties, overriding royalties and other burdens, and to all
exploration, development and operational costs including all risks in connection therewith.

HOLDERS
As of September 29, 2008, we had approximately 52 holders of our common stock. The number of
record holders was determined from the records of our transfer agent and does not include
beneficial owners of common stock whose shares are held in the names of various security brokers,
dealers, and registered clearing agencies. The transfer agent of our common
16
stock is Empire Stock Transfer, Inc., 2470 St. Rose Parkway, Suite 304, Henderson, Nevada
89074.
DIVIDENDS
We have not paid cash dividends on our stock and we do not anticipate paying any cash
dividends thereon in the foreseeable future.
By the terms of our agreements with Cornell Capital Partners, LP, we are required to obtain
the prior written consent of Cornell Capital Partners, LP prior to paying dividends or redeeming
shares of our stock while the secured convertible debentures owed to Cornell Capital Partners, LP
are outstanding. Any future determination to pay cash dividends will be at the discretion of our
Board of Directors and will be dependent upon our financial condition, results of operations,
capital requirements, and such other factors as our Board of Directors deems relevant.
RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES
During our fiscal year ending June 30, 2008, we issued the following equity securities in
transactions exempt from the registration requirements under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, that were not disclosed previously in Current Reports on Form 8-K or Quarterly Reports on
Form 10-QSB.
During the period January 1, 2008 through June 30, 2008, we issued 39,652,412 shares of common
stock to YA Global Investments, L.P. (formerly known as Cornell Capital Partners, L.P. and referred
to herein as YA Global) upon conversion of a portion of their Convertible Debenture Agreement.
The shares were issued in reliance upon the exemptions contained in Rule 506 and/or Section 4(2) of
the Securities Act. The shares issued were valued at $156,100 or average price of $0.004 per
share, the fair market value of the common stock at the date of conversion.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Total revenue for the periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 were $2,096,319 and $1,410,448,
respectively, an increase of $685,871 or about 49%. Revenues from the sale of oil and gas increased
$738,371 year-over-year, from $1,267,948 for the period ended June 30, 2007 to $2,006,319 for the
period ended June 30, 2008. In addition we recorded management fees through June 30, 2008 and 2007
of $90,000 and $142,500 under the Ignis Barnett Shale, LLC services agreement, respectively.
The increase in oil and natural gas sales was primarily attributable to higher product
prices. For the year ended June 30, 2008, production was essentially flat compared to the same
period ended June 30, 2007. Overall production increased to 23.6 BOE from 22.2 BOE or an increase
of 1.4 BOE, or about 6%. The production for the year ended June 30, 2008 was primarily from the
Acom A-6 well. Effective September 30, 2007 we sold the Inglish Sisters #3 well located in Montague
County, Texas. During our ownership period in 2008, we had production of .04 BOE from this
well. Oil prices increased from an average of $63.08 to $98.34 or 56% and gas prices increased
$2.52, or 34% from $7.49 to $10.01.

On December 21, 2007 our Services Agreement, dated November 15, 2006 with Ignis Barnett
Shale, LLC (IBS) was automatically terminated pursuant to its term upon our removal as the B
Manager of the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of IBS dated November 15,
2006 by Silver Point Capital L.P. The service agreement was entered into for the purpose of
providing management and administrative services to IBS in exchange for payment of $50,750 per
month during the initial 12 months and $43,250 per month thereafter. Due to our removal as the B
Manager, we will no longer receive any management fees.
Lease operating expense for the year ended June 30, 2008 were $209,769 compared with $30,771
for 2007. This represented an increase of $178,998 or approximately 582% and resulted primarily
from increased maintenance on the wells. During the year ended June 30, 2008 we had two wells in
production: ACOM A #6 in Chambers County, Texas and the Inglish Sisters #3 in Cooke County, Texas.
The breakdown in lease operating costs for these two wells was $147,747 and $62,022, respectively.
We sold the Inglish Sisters #3 well on September 30, 2007 and recorded a gain of $60,000.
Production and Ad Valorem taxes for the year increased $18,132, or approximately 17%, to
$107,213 compared to $89,081 in the prior year. The increase is entirely due increased production
from the increase in production and to the increase in the price of oil and gas.
We did not incur any exploration expense for the year ended June 30, 2008 versus $825,737 in
the prior year. We were not able to obtain adequate financing during the year for exploration
activities.
Depletion expense decreased from $835,879 to $297,716 or $538,163 for the comparative
periods primarily a result
from a rapid increase in depletion expense for the Inglish Sisters #3 well in fiscal 2007 and sale
of the well in first quarter of fiscal 2008.
General and administrative expenses for the year ended June 30, 2008 were $2,028,791 compared
to $2,583,463 the prior year; a decrease of $554,672 or 21%. The reduction in general and
administrative expenses was primarily the result of lower employee and related costs compared to
the prior year of $572,216. Other areas of decrease in expense are advertising, investor relations,
and rent. The reduction in employee and related, advertising, investor relation and rent was offset
by a $289,452 increase over last year in professional fees. We accrued expense of $52,975 in 2008,
versus $161,528 for the prior year, for expenses incurred by our Board members related to financing
opportunities. Total non-cash expense in the current year is $70,783 versus $617,890 for fiscal
year 2007 for common stock issued to management and advisors.
We incurred interest expense of $894,679 for the year ended June 30, 2008 compared to the
prior year ended June 30, 2007 of $1,812,073. For the year ended June 20, 2007 we accrued
liquidated damages under the Cornell Capital Partners, LP Convertible Debenture Agreement for
non-registration of the transaction in the amount of $1,000,000. We did not have any liquidating
damages under the agreement for fiscal year 2008, which accounts for the decrease from 2007
levels. We recorded a gain on the valuation of derivatives of $54,625 compared to $5,127,252 or a
decrease of $5,072,627 compared to the prior year. We recorded a smaller gain in the fiscal year
ended 2008 compared to the fiscal year ended 2007 based on the marked-to-market of our
derivatives. Due to the decrease in our common stock price and the decrease in the remaining term
our liability decreased. We use the Black-Scholes method to account for the mark-to-market
valuation except for the convertible debenture that requires we pay cash in lieu of shares for the
portion greater than 4.99% is valued using the cash premium method.
For fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 we reported a net loss of ($1,301,705) compared to net
income of $344,151 for the prior fiscal year. While revenues for the
year increased $685,871 and
operating expenses decreased by $1,734,549, we saw a reduction in the amount of gain from the
valuation of the derivative liability of $5,072,627. The decrease in operating expense is largely
due to the decrease in exploration expense of $825,737 and a reduction in general and
administrative
18
expense of $554,672. The reduction in the derivative liability valuation gain was further
offset by a reduction in interest expense of $917,392. Loss per share for fiscal year 2008 was
($0.02) compared to income per share of $0.01 in 2007 based on the average number of common shares
outstanding in the respective periods.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
For the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, we generated a net cash flow deficit from
operating activities of $108,660 and $1,433,011, respectively. Cash provided from investing
activities was $60,000 for fiscal year 2008 from the sale of the Inglish Sisters Well #3 in
September 2007 and zero for the year ended June 30, 2007. Cash provided by financing activities was
zero in 2008 and totaled $900,000 in 2007, which resulted from a promissory note we amended with
Petrofinanz.
We do not expect any capital expenditures through the remainder of the calendar year or in the
foreseeable future. If current market conditions and our existing production levels of oil and
natural gas continue we have sufficient funds to conduct our operations for a limited amount of
time which includes no capital expenditures. We anticipate that we will need external funding to
continue our current and planned operations for the next 12 months. Additional financing may not be
available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. If we are unable to secure additional
capital, we will be forced to either slow or cease operations.
We presently do not have any available credit, bank financing or other external sources of
liquidity. Due to our brief history and historical operating losses, our operations have not been a
sufficient source of liquidity. We will need to obtain additional capital in order to expand
operations and become profitable. In order to obtain capital, we may need to sell additional shares
of our common stock or borrow funds from private lenders. We may not be successful in obtaining
additional funding.
We will still need additional investments in order to continue operations to achieve cash flow
break-even. Additional investments are being sought, but we cannot guarantee that we will be able
to obtain such investments. Financing transactions may include the issuance of equity or debt
securities, obtaining credit facilities, or other financing mechanisms. However, the trading price
of our common stock could make it more difficult to obtain financing through the issuance of equity
or debt securities. Even if we are able to raise the funds required, it is possible that we could
incur unexpected costs and expenses or experience unexpected cash requirements that would force us
to seek alternative financing. Further, if we issue additional equity or debt securities,
stockholders may experience additional dilution or the new equity securities may have rights,
preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of our common stock. If additional
financing is not available or is not available on acceptable terms, we will have to curtail or
cease our operations.
In their report dated October 13, 2008, our independent auditors expressed substantial doubt
about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is an
issue raised as a result of recurring losses from operations, lack of sufficient working capital
and our dependence on outside financing. We continue to experience net operating losses. Our
ability to continue as a going concern is subject to our ability to generate a profit and/or obtain
necessary funding from outside sources, including obtaining additional funding from the sale of our
securities, increasing sales or obtaining loans and grants from various financial institutions
where possible. Our continued net operating losses increase the difficulty in meeting such goals
and such methods may not prove successful.
To obtain funding for our ongoing operations, we entered into a securities purchase agreement
with Cornell Capital Partners, LP, an accredited investor, on January 5, 2006 and amended and
restated on February 9, 2006 and April 28, 2006, for the sale of $5,000,000 in secured convertible
debentures and 12,000,000 warrants. Cornell Capital provided us with an aggregate of $5,000,000 as
follows:
$2,500,000 was disbursed on January 5, 2006;
$1,500,000 was disbursed on February 9, 2006; and
$1,000,000 was disbursed on April 28, 2006
Out of the $5 million in gross proceeds that we received from Cornell Capital upon issuance of
all the secured convertible debentures, the following fees payable in cash were deducted or paid in
connection with the transaction:
|
|
|
$400,000 fee payable to Yorkville Advisors LLC, the general partner of Cornell Capital;
|
19
|
|
|
$15,000 structuring fee payable to Yorkville Advisors LLC, the general partner of Cornell Capital;
|
|
|
|
|
$5,000 due diligence fee payable to Cornell Capital; and
|
|
|
|
|
$250,000 placement agent fee payable to Stonegate Securities, Inc.
|
|
|
|
|
$65,000 other professional fees paid at closing
|
Thus, we received total net proceeds of $4,265,000 from the issuance of secured convertible
debentures to Cornell Capital. In connection with the issuance of secured convertible debentures to
Cornell Capital, we were required under our placement agency agreement with Stonegate Securities,
Inc. to issue to affiliates of Stonegate 75,000 shares of our common stock and 5-year warrants to
purchase 400,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.25.
The secured convertible debentures bear interest at 7%, mature three years from the date of
issuance, and are convertible into our common stock, at the selling stockholders option, at the
lower of (i) $0.93 or (ii) 94% of the lowest volume weighted average prices of our common stock, as
quoted by Bloomberg, LP, during the 30 trading days immediately preceding the date of conversion.
Accordingly, there is no limit on the number of shares into which the secured convertible
debentures may be converted. As of June 30, 2007, the lowest intraday trading price for our common
stock during the preceding 30 trading days as quoted by Bloomberg, LP was $0.09 and, therefore, the
conversion price for the secured convertible debentures was $0.846. Based on this conversion price,
the $5,000,000 in secured convertible debentures, excluding interest and excluding principal
amounts previously converted, were convertible into 57,801,418 shares of our common stock. The
conversion price of the secured convertible debentures will be adjusted in the following
circumstances:
If we pay a stock dividend, engage in a stock split, reclassify our shares of common stock or
engage in a similar transaction, the conversion price of the secured convertible debentures will be
adjusted proportionately;
If we issue rights, options or warrants to all holders of our common stock (and not to Cornell
Capital) entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of common stock at a price per share
less than $0.93 per share, other than issuances specifically permitted by the securities purchase
agreement, as amended and restated, then the conversion price of the secured convertible debentures
will be adjusted on a weighted-average basis;
If we issue shares, other than issuances specifically permitted by the securities purchase
agreement, as amended and restated, of our common stock or rights, warrants, options or other
securities or debt that are convertible into or exchangeable for shares of our common stock, at a
price per share less than $0.93 per share, then the conversion price will be adjusted to such lower
price on a full-ratchet basis;
If we distribute to all holders of our common stock (and not to Cornell Capital) evidences of
indebtedness or assets or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security, then the
conversion price of the secured convertible debenture will be adjusted based upon the value of the
distribution as a percentage of the market value of our common stock on the record date for such
distribution;
If we reclassify our common stock or engage in a compulsory share exchange pursuant to which
our common stock is converted into other securities, cash or property, Cornell Capital will have
the option to either (i) convert the secured convertible debentures into the shares of stock and
other securities, cash and property receivable by holders of our common stock following such
transaction, or (ii) demand that we prepay the secured convertible debentures; and
If we engage in a merger, consolidation or sale of more than one-half of our assets, then
Cornell Capital will have the right to (i) demand that we prepay the secured convertible
debentures, (ii) convert the secured convertible debentures into the shares of stock and other
securities, cash and property receivable by holders of our common stock following such transaction,
or (iii) in the case of a merger or consolidation, require the surviving entity to issue to a
convertible debenture with similar terms.
In connection with the securities purchase agreement, as amended and restated, we issued
Cornell Capital warrants to purchase 6,000,000 shares of our common stock exercisable for a period
of five years at an exercise price of $0.81 and warrants to purchase 6,000,000 shares of our common
stock, exercisable for a period of five years at an exercise price of $0.93. We have the option to
force the holder to exercise the warrants, as long as the shares underlying the warrants are
registered pursuant to an effective registration statement, if our closing bid price trades above
certain levels. If the closing bid price of our common stock is greater than or equal to $1.10 for
a period of 15 consecutive trading days prior to the forced conversion, we can force the warrant
holder to exercise the warrants exercisable at a price of $0.81. If the closing bid price of our
common stock is greater than or equal to $1.23 for a period of 15 consecutive trading days prior to
the forced conversion, we can force the warrant holder to exercise the warrants exercisable at a
price of $0.93.
20
In connection with the exercise of any of the warrants issued to Cornell Capital, we are
required under our placement agency agreement with Stonegate Securities, Inc. to pay a fee to
Stonegate equal to five percent (5%) of the gross proceeds of any such exercise.
Cornell Capital has agreed to restrict its ability to convert the secured convertible
debentures or exercise the warrants and receive shares of our common stock such that the number of
shares of common stock held by it and its affiliates after such conversion does not exceed 4.99% of
the then issued and outstanding shares of common stock. If the conversion price is less than $0.93,
Cornell Capital may not convert more than $425,000 of secured convertible debentures in any month,
unless we waive such restriction. In the event that the conversion price is equal to or greater
than $0.93, there is no restriction on the amount Cornell Capital can convert in any month.
We have the right, at our option, with three business days advance written notice, to redeem a
portion or all amounts outstanding under the secured convertible debentures prior to the maturity
date if the closing bid price of our common stock, is less than $0.93 at the time of the
redemption. In the event of a redemption, we are obligated to pay an amount equal to the principal
amount being redeemed plus a 15% redemption premium, and accrued interest.
In connection with the second amended and restated securities purchase agreement, we also
entered into a second amended and restated registration rights agreement providing for the filing,
within five days of April 28, 2006, of a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange
Commission registering the common stock issuable upon conversion of the secured convertible
debentures and warrants. We are obligated to use our best efforts to cause the registration
statement to be declared effective no later than 130 days after filing and to insure that the
registration statement remains in effect until the earlier of (i) all of the shares of common stock
issuable upon conversion of the secured convertible debentures have been sold or (ii) January 5,
2008. Because we defaulted on our obligation under the registration rights agreement to have the
registration statement declared effective by September 5, 2006, we are required pay to Cornell
Capital, as liquidated damages, for each month that the registration statement has not been filed
or declared effective, as the case may be, either a cash amount or shares of our common stock equal
to 2% of the liquidated value of the secured convertible debentures.
In connection with the securities purchase agreement, we executed a security agreement in
favor of the investor granting them a first priority security interest in all of our goods,
inventory, contractual rights and general intangibles, receivables, documents, instruments, chattel
paper, and intellectual property. The security agreement states that if an event of default occurs
under the secured convertible debentures or security agreements, the investor has the right to take
possession of the collateral, to operate our business using the collateral, and have the right to
assign, sell, lease or otherwise dispose of and deliver all or any part of the collateral, at
public or private sale or otherwise to satisfy our obligations under these agreements.
We also pledged 18,750,000 shares of common stock to secure the obligations incurred pursuant
to the securities purchase agreement, as amended and restated.
On July 18, 2008, we executed a forbearance agreement with YA Global Investments, L.P. (f/k/a
Cornell Capital Partners L.P. and referred to herein as YA Global) under which, YA Global agreed,
subject to specified limitations and conditions, to forbear from exercising its rights and remedies
arising from the our failure to register with the Securities and Exchange Commission shares of its
common stock underlying its secured convertible debentures, for the period commencing on July 17,
2008 and ending on January 5, 2009 (the Forbearance Period). Under the Forbearance Agreement, we
agreed to make payments of $55,000 per month of the Forbearance Period to YA Global beginning with
the month of August.
Furthermore, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Forbearance Agreement,
contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of the Forbearance Agreement, we amended each of
the following secured convertible debentures issued (the Debentures) by executing amendments
having the effect that the Fixed Conversion Price (as defined in the Debentures) under each
Debenture is $0.03: Secured Convertible Debenture issued to YA Global on January 5, 2006, in the
original principal amount of $2,500,000, No. CCP-1, Secured Convertible Debenture issued to YA
Global on February 9, 2006, in the original principal amount of $1,500,000, No. CCP-2, and Secured
Convertible Debenture issued to YA Global on April 28, 2006, in the original principal amount of
$1,000,000, No. CCP-3. Upon execution of the Forbearance Agreement, the effective conversion price will be the lower
of $0.03 or 94% of the lowest Volume Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock during the thirty
trading days immediately preceding the conversion date as quoted by Bloomberg, LP.
Unless we are successful in negotiating a restructuring of our secured debentures, we will not
be able to pay our secured debentures when they become due in January 2009, and we may lose our
only producing oil and gas well to foreclosure. Although we have had numerous discussions with our
creditors about recapitalizing the Company, we have not yet been successful in doing so and we
cannot assure you that we will reach an agreement with our creditors to recapitalize the Company.
21
We amended and restated our loan agreement with Petrofinanz, GBMH twice to borrow
an aggregate of an additional $900,000 during our fiscal year ending June 30, 2007. We borrowed
$500,000 from Petrofinanz on August 28, 2006, and we borrowed $400,000 from Petrofinanz on March 6,
2007, in each case for working capital purposes. The aggregate principal amount of our Second
Amended and Restated Loan Agreement as of June 30, 2008 is $1,000,000 and the repayment date is
June 30, 2009. Interest accrues under the Petrofinanz loan agreement at the rate of 10% per annum
and is payable upon the loans maturity date.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our accounting policies are fully described in Note 1 of the notes accompanying our financial
statements. As discussed in Note 1, the preparation of financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates
and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements
and accompanying notes. Future events and their effects cannot be determined with absolute
certainty. Therefore, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. Actual
results inevitably will differ from those estimates, and such difference may be material to our
financial statements. We believe that the following discussion addresses our Critical Accounting
Policies.
Successful Efforts Method of Accounting
The accounting for our business is subject to special accounting rules that are unique to the
oil and gas industry. There are two allowable methods of accounting for oil and gas business
activities: the successful-efforts method and the full-cost method. There are several significant
differences between these methods. Under the successful-efforts method, costs such as geological
and geophysical (G&G), exploratory dry holes and delay rentals are expensed as incurred, where
under the full-cost method these types of charges would be capitalized to their respective
full-cost pool. We account for our exploration and development activities utilizing the successful
efforts method of accounting.
The application of the successful efforts method of accounting requires managerial judgment to
determine the proper classification of wells designated as development or exploratory which will
ultimately determine the proper accounting treatment of the costs incurred. The results from
drilling operations can take considerable time to analyze, and the determination that commercial
reserves have been discovered requires both judgment and industry experience. Wells may be
completed that were assumed to be productive, but may actually deliver oil and natural gas in
quantities insufficient to be economic. Such results may result in the abandonment of the wells at
a later date. The evaluation of oil and natural gas leasehold acquisition costs requires managerial
judgment to estimate the fair value of these costs without reference to drilling activity in a
given area.
The successful efforts method of accounting can have a significant impact on the operations
results reported when we enter a new exploratory area in hopes of finding an oil and natural gas
field that will be the focus of future developmental drilling activity. The initial exploratory
wells may be unsuccessful and will expensed. Seismic costs can be substantial which will result in
additional exploration expenses when incurred.
Reserve Estimates
Estimates of oil and natural gas reserves, by necessity, are projections based on geologic and
engineering data, and there are uncertainties inherent in the interpretation of such data as well
as the projection of future rates of production and the timing of development
expenditures. Reserve engineering
is a subjective process of estimating underground
accumulations of oil and natural gas that are difficult to measure. The accuracy of any reserve
estimate is a function of the quality of available data, engineering and geological interpretation
and judgment. Estimates of economically recoverable oil and natural gas reserves and future net
cash flows necessarily depend upon a number of variable factors and assumptions, such as historical
production from the area compared with production from other producing areas, the assumed effects
of regulations by governmental agencies and assumptions governing future oil and natural gas
prices, future operating costs, severance taxes, development costs and workover costs, all of which
may in fact vary considerably from actual results. The future drilling costs associated with
reserves assigned to proved undeveloped locations may ultimately increase to an extent that these
reserves may be later determined to be uneconomic. For these reasons, estimates of the
economically recoverable quantities of oil and natural gas attributable to any particular group of
properties, classifications of such reserves based on risk of recovery, and estimates of the future
net cash flows expected from there may vary substantially. Any significant variance in the
assumptions could materially affect the estimated quantity and value of the reserves, which could
affect the carrying value of our oil and natural gas properties and/or the rate of depletion of the
oil and natural gas properties. Actual
22
production, revenues and expenditures with respect to our reserves will likely vary from
estimates, and such variances may be material. We engaged a third party engineering company to
prepare our annual reserve report as of June 30, 2008.
Commitments and Contingencies
On July 12, 2007, we entered into a retention bonus agreement (the Agreement) with Michael
P. Piazza, our President and Chief Executive Officer and Shawn L. Clift, our Chief Financial
Officer (each an Executive). Under the terms of the Agreement, we agreed to pay to the Executives
beginning June 1, 2007 (the Effective Date), a retention bonus equal to the Executives monthly
base salary in effect as of the Effective Date during the period we investigate restructuring
options. On July 26, 2007, we entered into a retention bonus agreement with Lifestyles Integration,
Inc., the company through which we receive the consulting services of Eric Hanlon. Under the terms
of the agreement, we will pay Lifestyles, effective June 1, 2007, a monthly retention bonus equal
to Lifestyles monthly consulting fee of $12,500 during the period in which we consider
restructuring alternatives.
For the year ending June 30, 2008 retention bonuses were paid to Michael Piazza and Shawn
Clift for $75,000 and $62,500 respectively. In addition, retention bonuses of $61,875 were paid to
Lifestyles Integration, Inc., for the consulting services provided by Eric Hanlon. There is no
accrual on the June 30, 2008 balance sheet for retention bonuses because no additional retention
bonuses will be paid due to termination/departure of the employees and termination of the
consulting agreement with Lifestyles Integration, Inc.
Reporting Requirements
Because our common stock is publicly traded, we are subject to certain rules and regulations
of federal, state and financial market exchange entities charges with the protection of investors
and the oversight of companies whose securities are publicly traded. These entities, including the
SEC, have recently issued new requirements and regulations and are currently developing additional
regulations and requirements in response to recent laws, most notably the Sarbanes-Oxley Act 2002.
Our compliance with current and proposed rules such as Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of
2002, is likely to require the commitment of significant managerial resources. We are currently
reviewing our internal control systems, processes and procedures to ensure compliance with the
requirements of Section 404.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
|
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our management, with the participation
of our President, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the
end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our President concluded that
our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report were not
effective such that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time
periods specified in the SECs rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our
management, including our President, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.
A controls system cannot provide absolute assurance, however, that the objectives of the controls
system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control
issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.
Managements Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our management is
responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as
defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Our internal control over financial reporting is
a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting
and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes of accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent
or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only
reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.
Our management, with the participation of the President, evaluated the effectiveness of the
Companys internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2008. In making this assessment,
our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the
Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control Integrated Framework. Based on this evaluation,
our management, with the participation of the President, concluded that, as of June 30, 2008, our
internal control over financial reporting was not effective. The Companys material weaknesses in
internal control are (a) insufficient entity level controls caused by a lack of senior management
oversight and absence of corporate governance structure and (b) lack of segregation of duties and
the lack of sufficient accounting expertise in the financial reporting process to support
sufficient review and approval procedures and timely filing of financial statements. However, the
Company believes the costs of remediation outweigh the benefits given the limited operations of the
Company.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Companys registered public
accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Managements report was not
subject to attestation by the Companys registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary
rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the company to provide only
managements report in this annual report.
(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in the
Companys internal controls over financial reporting, known to the chief executive officer or the
chief financial officer, that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially
affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over
financial reporting.

We entered into an employment agreement with Shawn L. Clift on November 20, 2006, to serve as
our Chief Financial Officer through November 20, 2009, unless earlier terminated by either

Ms. Clifts individual performance and the approval of the compensation committee of our board of

The amount shown as the 2007 value of Ms. Clifts restricted stock award in the table above is
based upon the fair value of 170,000 shares of our common stock awarded on November 20, 2006
determined in accordance with FAS 123R and excludes the unvested portion of the shares of our
common stock issuable under her employment agreement. If we declare any dividends on our common
stock, Ms. Clift would only be entitled to receive dividends on the vested portion of the
restricted common stock described above.
The amount shown as the 2008 value of Ms. Clifts restricted stock awards in the table above
is based on the fair value of 430,000 shares of our common stock awarded on November 20, 2007. Of
the common shares issued, 170,000 shares were awarded based six-month grant and 260,000 shares as
an annual bonus. The awards were determined in accordance with FAS 123R and exclude the unvested
portion of the shares of our common stock issuable under her employment agreement. Since Ms. Clift

We have entered into agreements with Geoff Evett and Roger A. Leopard in which we
agreed to pay each of the directors $1,500 per month and to issue 180,000 shares of our
common stock to each of them over a three year period beginning January 20, 2006. As of
June 30, 2008, 105,000 of the 180,000 shares of our common stock have vested and been
delivered to each of Mr. Evett and Mr. Leopard. The remaining 75,000 shares will vest and
be delivered to each of them, subject in each case to their continued service as a
director, according to the following schedule: 25,000 shares on July 20, 2007 and 25,000
shares each six months thereafter.

Includes individual compensation agreements pursuant to which we may issue up to: (i) 3,630,000
shares of our common stock to our officers, (ii) 150,000 shares of our common stock to our
directors, and (iii) 613,125 shares of our common stock to our advisors. Compensation agreements

2006 Incentive Stock Plan
On January 30, 2006, our board of directors and holders of a majority of our outstanding
shares of common stock approved our 2006 Incentive Stock Plan and authorized 5,000,000 shares of
Common Stock for issuance of stock awards and stock options thereunder. The plan has been adopted
by our board of directors who initially reserved 5,000,000 shares of our common stock for issuance
under the plan. Under the plan, options may be granted which are intended to qualify as Incentive
Stock Options under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 or which are not intended to
qualify as Incentive Stock Options thereunder. The primary purpose of the plan is to attract and
retain the best available personnel for us by granting stock awards and stock options in order to
promote the success of our business and to facilitate the ownership of our stock by our employees.
Under the plan, stock awards and options may be granted to our key employees, officers, directors
or consultants. To date, no awards have been granted under the plan.
Agreements with Advisors
We entered into consulting agreements with each of the members of our board of advisors
pursuant to which such advisors may earn shares of our common stock upon the vesting schedule set
forth below. Such agreements were not approved by our stockholders.
On or about December 1, 2007 the members of the advisory board either resigned from the
Company or their agreements were terminated. From July 2007 through November 2007 (part of the
fiscal year ended June 30, 2008), we made cash payments to the advisory board members in accordance
with their consulting agreements and we issue stock to the members in accordance with their
consulting agreements. After December 1, 2007 the Company did not make any payments or issue any
additional shares of common stock to the advisory board members. We have not replaced the advisory
board, but we did enter into a separate consulting agreement with Eric Hanlon, through Lifestyles
Integration, Inc., for consulting services.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
The following table sets forth certain information regarding beneficial ownership of our
common stock as of September 23, 2008
|
|
|
by each person who is known by us to beneficially own more than 5% of our common stock;
|
|
|
|
|
by each of our officers and directors; and
|
|
|
|
|
by all of our officers and directors as a group.
|
The number of shares beneficially owned by each director or executive officer is determined under
rules of the SEC, and the information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any
other purpose. Under the SEC rules, beneficial ownership includes any shares as to which the
individual has the sole or shared voting power or investment power. In addition, beneficial
ownership includes any shares that the individual has the right to acquire within 60 days. Unless
otherwise indicated, each person listed below has sole investment and voting power (or shares such
powers with his or her spouse). In certain instances, the number of shares listed includes (in
addition to shares owned directly), shares held by the spouse or children of the person, or by a
trust or estate of which the person is a trustee or an executor or in which the person may have a
beneficial interest.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE.
|
Other than as disclosed below, there have been no transactions, or proposed transactions,
which have materially affected or will materially affect us in which any director, executive
officer or beneficial holder of more than 5% of our outstanding common stock, or any of their
respective relatives, spouses, associates or affiliates, has had or will have any direct or
indirect material interest. We have no policy regarding entering into transactions with affiliated
parties.
Mr. Timothy Hart, our former Chief Financial Officer, provided accounting and financial
advisory services to us through his certified public accounting firm, Ullman & Hart CPAs, from
February 2005 through December 31, 2006. For the year ended June 30, 2007, we paid fees totaling
approximately $58,277 to Mr. Harts firm and issued 10,000 shares of our common stock to Mr. Hart
for services provided by Mr. Hart and his firm. No payments were made to Mr. Harts firm for the
year ended June 30, 2008.
On December 22, 2005 we borrowed $100,000 from a shareholder, Petrofinanz GmbH. The loan
accrued interest at 12% annually and originally was due on June 20, 2006. On August 28, 2006 we
entered into an amended and restated agreement extending the maturity date and increasing our debt
by $500,000. On March 6, 2007 we entered into the second amended and restated agreement increasing
our debt $400,000. As of June 30, 2008 and 2007, the total principal amount is $1,000,000. The
loan accrues interest at 10% annually and the maturity date was extended to June 30, 2009.
On June 11, 2008, we entered into a Consulting Agreement with Lifestyles Integration, Inc. for
the consulting services of Mr. Hanlon related to the Companys current position in Ignis Barnett
Shale LLC and assist the Company in analyzing potential performance of this asset as well as
reviewing the Companys current position and assist the Company in analyzing potential performance
of other existing assets and potential acquisition of assets identified by the Company. For these
services, Mr. Hanlon will receive a monthly retainer of $6,800 for up to three hours per week and
$700 per hour in any given week for work performed that exceeds the three-hour per week maximum. We
made payment of $6,900 under this agreement to Liftstyles Integration, Inc. for the year ended June
30, 2008.
During the year, we engaged Metlera Capital, S.L., a consulting company owned by or affiliated
with Geoff Evett, our interim President and Chief Operating Officer, for strategic consulting
services. During the year ended June 30, 2008, we have paid or accrued expenses for Metlera Capital
S.L. of $120,000. This amount is included in the Salary and Bonus calculation shown in Executive
Compensation above.
Transactions involving Directors
For the period ended June 30, 2007 we accrued expenses on behalf of our Directors for pursuing
financing opportunities for us. As of June 30, 2007, we had accrued $161,528. For the year ended
June 30, 2008, we accrued or paid expenses on behalf of our Directors of $52,975.
We believe that the related transactions describe above were on terms that we would have
received had we entered into such transactions with unaffiliated third parties.
Director Independence
We have determined that Roger Leopard and James Dorman, our non-employee directors, are
independent as defined by the listing requirements of the American Stock Exchange for
independence of directors. Geoff Evett was a non-employee director until December 19, 2007 at
which time he was given the title of interim Chief Executive Officer and President and is no longer
considered independent.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors
Ignis Petroleum Group, Inc.
Plano, Texas
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Ignis Petroleum Group, Inc. and
subsidiary (the Company) as of June 30, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of
operations, stockholders deficit and cash flows for the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of Ignis Petroleum Group, Inc. and subsidiary as of June 30, 2008
and 2007, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended June 30, 2008
and 2007, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as
a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered
recurring losses from operations and its total liabilities exceeds its total assets. This raises
substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. Managements plans
in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include
any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
We were not engaged to examine managements assessment of the effectiveness of Ignis Petroleum
Group, Inc. and subsidiarys internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2008,
included in the Companys Item 8(A)(T) Controls and Procedures in the Annual Report on Form
10-KSB and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion thereon.

F-5
Ignis Petroleum Group, Inc. and Subsidiary
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2008
Note 1
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States of America and are expressed in U.S. dollars. Our fiscal year end
is June 30.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Ignis Petroleum Group, Inc. and
its wholly owned subsidiary, Ignis Petroleum Corporation. All significant intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). In preparing the
accompanying financial statements, management has made certain estimates and assumptions that
affect reported amounts in the financial statements and disclosures of contingencies. Actual
results may differ from those estimates. Significant assumptions are required in the valuation of
proved oil and natural gas reserves, which may affect the amount at which oil and natural gas
properties are recorded. It is at least reasonably possible these estimates could be revised in the
near term, and these revisions could be material.
The term proved reserves is defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission in Rule 4-10(a)
of Regulation S-X adopted under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. In general, proved reserves
are the estimated quantities of oil, gas and liquids that geological or engineering data
demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under
existing economic and operating conditions, i.e., prices and costs as of the date the estimate is
made. Prices include consideration of changes in existing prices provided only by contractual
arrangements, but not on escalations based on future conditions.
Our estimates of proved reserves materially impact depletion expense. If proved reserves
decline, then the rate at which we record depletion expense increases, reducing net income. A
decline in estimates of proved reserves may result from lower prices, evaluation of additional
operating history, mechanical problems on our wells and catastrophic events such as explosions,
hurricanes and floods. Lower prices also may make it uneconomical to drill wells or produce from
fields with high operating costs. In addition, a decline in proved reserves may impact our
assessment of our oil and natural gas properties for impairment.
Our proved reserve estimates are a function of many assumptions, all of which could deviate
materially from actual results. As such, reserve estimates may vary materially from the ultimate
quantities of oil and natural gas actually produced.
Income Taxes
We apply SFAS No. 109,
Accounting for Income Taxes
. Pursuant to SFAS No. 109 we are required
to compute tax asset benefits for net operating losses carried forward. Potential benefits of
income tax losses are not recognized in the accounts until realization is more likely than not. The
potential benefit of net operating losses has not been recognized in these financial statements
because we cannot be assured it is more likely than not we will utilize the net operating losses
carried forward in future years. Our accumulated net operating loss for income tax purposes as
of June 30, 2008 is approximately $11,900,000.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We consider all highly liquid instruments with maturity of three months or less at the time of
issuance to be cash equivalents.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to credit risk consist principally of cash.
Cash was deposited with a
F-6
high quality credit institution. At times, such deposits may be in excess of the FDIC
insurance limit.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable principally consists of crude oil and natural gas sales proceeds
receivable and are typically due within 30 and 60 days of their respective production. We require
no collateral for such receivables, nor do we charge interest on past due balances. We
periodically review accounts receivable for collectability and reduce the carrying amount of the
accounts by an allowance. No such allowance was indicated at June 30, 2008.
Revenue Recognition and Concentration of Credit Risks
We recognize revenue when crude oil and natural gas quantities are delivered to or collected
by the respective purchaser. Title to the produced quantities transfers to the purchaser at the
time the purchaser receives or collects the quantities. Prices for such production are defined in
sales contracts and are readily determinable based on certain publicly available indices. The
purchasers of such production have historically made payment for crude oil and natural gas
purchases within thirty days of the end of each production month. We periodically review the
difference between the dates of production and the dates we collect payment for such product to
ensure that accounts receivable from those purchasers are collectible. For the years ended June
30, 2008 and 2007, one purchaser represented 99.8% and 97.0% of our revenues, respectively. We
believe that we would be able to locate an alternate customer in the event of the loss of this
customer.
Property and Equipment Oil and Gas Properties
We follow the successful efforts method of accounting, capitalizing costs of successful exploratory
wells and expensing costs of unsuccessful exploratory wells. All developmental costs are
capitalized. The property costs reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet resulted
from drilling on developed acreage.
Depreciation, depletion and amortization, based on cost less estimated salvage value of the asset
are primarily determined under the unit-of-production method which is based on estimated asset
service life taking obsolescence into consideration. Maintenance and repairs, including planned
major maintenance, are expensed as incurred. Major renewals and improvements are capitalized and
the assets replaced are retired.
Our units-of-production amortization rates are revised on a quarterly basis. Our development
costs and lease and wellhead equipment are depleted based on proved developed reserves. Our
leasehold costs are depleted based on total proved reserves. Significant unproved properties are
assessed for impairment individually and valuation allowances against the capitalized costs are
recorded based on the estimated economic chance of success and the length of time that we expect to
hold the properties. The valuation allowances are reviewed at least annually. Other exploratory
expenditures, including geological, geophysical and 3-D seismic survey costs are expensed as
incurred.
In the absence of a determination as to whether the reserves that have been found can be classified
as proved we will not carry the costs of drilling such an exploratory well as an asset for more
than one year following completion of drilling. If after that year has passed a determination that
proved reserves have been found cannot be made we will assume the well is impaired and charge its
costs to expense.
Impairment of Developed Oil and Natural Gas Properties
We review our oil and natural gas properties for impairment whenever events and circumstances
indicate a decline in the recoverability of their carrying value. We estimate the expected future
cash flows of our oil and natural gas properties and compare such future cash flows to the carrying
amount of our oil and natural gas properties to determine if the carrying amount is
recoverable. If the carrying amount exceeds undiscounted future cash flows, we will adjust the
carrying amount of the oil and natural gas properties to its fair value. The factors used to
determine fair value include, but are not limited to, estimates of proved reserves, commodity
pricing, future production estimates, anticipated capital expenditures, and a discount rate
commensurate with the risk associated with realizing the expected cash flows projected. For the
twelve months ended June 30, 2007 we recorded an impairment in the amount of $149,187 on the
Inglish Sisters #3 well in Cooke County, Texas. On September 30, 2008 we sold the Inglish Sisters
#3 well and recorded a gain, net of taxes, of $87,837. No impairment was indicated for the year
ended June 30, 2008.
Asset Retirement Obligation
Our financial statements reflect the fair value for any asset retirement obligation that can
be reasonably estimated. The retirement obligation is recorded as a liability at its estimated
present value at the assets inception, with an
F-7
offsetting increase to producing properties on the consolidated balance sheets. Periodic
accretion of the discount of the estimated liability is recorded as an expense in the consolidated
statements of operations. As of June 30, 2008 and 2007 we recorded expense of $3,435 and $16,585
and our asset retirement obligation at June 30, 2008 is $25,662.
We apply SFAS No.143
Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations,
which requires that an asset
retirement obligation associated with the retirement of a tangible long-lived asset be recognized
as a liability in the period in which a legal obligation is incurred and becomes determinable, with
an offsetting increase in the carrying amount of the associated asset. The cost of the tangible
asset, including the initially recognized asset retirement obligation, is depleted such that the
cost of the asset retirement obligation is recognized over the life of the asset.

Environmental Costs
Liabilities for environmental costs are recorded when it is probable that obligations have
been incurred and the amounts can be reasonably estimated. These liabilities are not reduced by
possible recoveries from third parties, and projected cash expenditures are not discounted.
Advertising
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense was $0 in 2008 and $160,582 in
2007.
Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share
We compute net income (loss) per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128,
Earnings per Share.
SFAS No. 128 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face
of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common
shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during
the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the
period using the treasury stock method and convertible notes using the if-converted method. In
computing Diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of
shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes
all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti dilutive.
As of June 30, 2007, the senior convertible debentures diluted earnings per share to $0.00.
The net income attributed to common stock was reduced by $127,106 represented by interest expense,
debt discount amortization and changes in the derivative liability. The weighted average shares
were increased by approximately 8,000,000 shares assuming conversion of the senior convertible
debentures.
Any of our warrants which were outstanding in all periods presented were also excluded from
the calculation of diluted earnings per share as their effect would have been antidilutive. Since
we incurred net losses attributed to common stock for 2008, no dilution of the net losses per share
would have resulted from the assumed conversion of the senior convertible debentures, discussed
above. As of June 30, 2008, the total potentially dilutive shares upon conversion totaled
1,131,678,487 shares based upon a conversion price of approximately $0.004 per common share.
Stock-based Compensation
We adopted SFAS 123(R),
Share Based Payments
, on July 1, 2006, under which compensation
expense is recognized immediately for past services and pro-rata for future services over the
option-vesting period. As of June 30, 2008, we have not granted any stock options.
We account for equity instruments issued in exchange for the receipt of goods or services from
other than employees in accordance with SFAS No. 123 and the conclusions reached by the Emerging
Issues Task Force in Issue No. 96-18. Costs
F-8
are measured at the estimated fair market value of the consideration received or the estimated
fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The value of
equity instruments issued for consideration other than employee services is determined on the
earliest of a performance commitment or completion of performance by the provider of goods or
services as defined by EITF 96-18.
New Pronouncements
In September 2006 the FASB issued Statement of Accounting Standards No. 157. The statement is
effective for Financial Statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and
interim periods within those fiscal years. Management has not yet examined the effect on the
financial statements for subsequent years.
Note 2
Joint Venture
For the years ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007, we did not engage in any
acquisitions. However, on November 15, 2006, we entered into a joint venture with affiliates of
Silver Point Capital, L.P. through a limited liability company named Ignis Barnett Shale, LLC. The
joint venture acquired 45% of the interests in the acreage, oil and natural gas producing
properties and natural gas gathering and treating system located in the St. Jo Ridge Field in the
North Texas Fort Worth Basin then held by W.B. Osborn Oil & Gas Operations, Ltd. and St. Jo
Pipeline, Limited. The purchase price for the acquisition was $17,600,000, subject to certain
adjustments, plus $850,000 payable by Ignis Barnett Shale in thirty-six monthly installments of
$23,611, beginning one month after closing. In addition, Ignis Barnett Shale agreed to fund
additional lease acquisitions up to a total of $5,000,000 for a period of two years.
Under the terms of Ignis Barnett Shales operating agreement, we agreed to manage the
day-to-day operations of Ignis Barnett Shale and the Silver Point affiliates agreed to fund 100% of
the purchase price of the transaction and 100% of future acreage acquisitions and development costs
of Ignis Barnett Shale to the extent approved by Silver Point. Ignis Barnett Shales budget, its
operating plan, financial and hedging arrangements, if any, and generally all other material
decisions affecting Ignis Barnett Shale are subject to the approval of Silver Point. We assigned
our intellectual property directly related to the Ignis Barnet Shale all of our intellectual
property related to the joint venture and its activities. Distributions from Ignis Barnett Shale
will be made when and if declared by Silver Point as follows:
|
(i)
|
|
To the Silver Point affiliates pro rata until the Silver Point affiliates have
received an amount equal to their aggregate capital contributions; then
|
|
|
(ii)
|
|
100% to the Silver Point affiliates pro rata until they have received an amount
representing a rate of return equal to 12%, compounded annually, on their aggregate
capital contributions; then
|
|
|
(iii)
|
|
100% to us until the amount distributed to us under this clause (iii) equals
12.5% of all amounts distributed pursuant to clauses (ii) and (iii); then
|
|
|
(iv)
|
|
87.5% to the Silver Point affiliates pro rata and 12.5% to us until the amount
distributed to the Silver Point affiliates represents a return equal to 20%, compounded
annually, on their aggregate capital contributions; then
|
|
|
(v)
|
|
100% to us until the amount distributed to us under clauses (iii), (iv), and
(v) equals 20% of all amounts distributed pursuant to clauses (ii), (iii), (iv), and
(v); then
|
|
|
(vi)
|
|
80% to the Silver Point affiliates pro rata and 20% to us until the amount
distributed to the Silver Point affiliates represents a return equal to 30%, compounded
annually, on their aggregate capital contributions; then
|
|
|
(vii)
|
|
100% to us until the amount distributed to us under clauses (iii), (iv), (v),

We also agreed not to make any additional investments in parts of three North Texas counties,
the area of mutual interest that Ignis Barnett Shale established with W.B. Osborn Oil & Gas
Operations, until the joint venture has satisfied its obligation to W.B. Osborn Oil & Gas
Operations to purchase an additional $5 million of acreage. Thereafter, the joint venture will
have a right of first offer on any future investment opportunity we desire to make in the area of
mutual interest. If the joint venture does not exercise its right of first offer, we can pursue
the opportunity, subject to some limitations during the first 18 months after the joint venture
completes the $5 million additional investment with W.B. Osborn Oil & Gas Operations. If the joint
venture exercises its right to pursue an opportunity, we will have the opportunity to co-invest up
to 50% of such investment up to $10 million.
Under the partnership agreement we are paid a management fee to handle day-to-day operations.
For the year ended June 30, 2008 we recorded $90,000 in revenue for management fees. Until we earn
our equity share in the Ignis Barnett Shale, LLC entity we do not consolidate or record the
financial impact of the partnership in our records. As of June 30, 2008, there was no financial
impact on our financial statements.
On December 21, 2007, our Services Agreement, dated November 15, 2006, with Ignis Barnett
Shale, LLC (IBS) was automatically terminated pursuant to its term upon our removal as the B
Manager of the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of IBS, dated November 15,
2006 (the LLC Agreement), by Silver Point Capital L.P. (Sliver Point). The Services Agreement
was entered into on November 15, 2006 for the purpose of providing management and administrative
services to IBS in exchange for payment of $50,750 per month during the initial 12 months and
$43,250 per month thereafter. The LLC Agreement remains in effect and unchanged.
Note 3
Going Concern
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared on the basis of accounting
principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the
satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
Should the Company be unable to achieve profitable operations or raise additional capital to
bring on new projects, it may not be able to continue operations. These factors raise substantial
doubt concerning the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The accompanying
financial statements do not purport to reflect or provide for the consequences of discontinuing
operations. In particular, such financial statements do not purport to show (a) as to assets, their
realizable value on a liquidation basis or their availability to satisfy liabilities; (b) as to
liabilities, the amount that may be allowed for claims and contingencies, or the status and
priority thereof; (c) as to shareholder accounts, the effect of any changes that may be made in the
capitalization of the Company; and (d) as to operations, the effect of any changes that may be made
in its business.
We do not expect any capital expenditures through the remainder of the calendar year or in the
foreseeable future. If current market conditions and our existing production levels of oil and
natural gas continues we have sufficient funds to conduct our operations for a limited amount of
time which includes no capital expenditures, We anticipate that we will need external funding to
continue our current and planned operations for the next 12 months. Additional financing may not be
available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. If we are unable to secure additional
capital, we will be forced to either slow or cease operations.
We presently do not have any available credit, bank financing or other external sources of
liquidity. Due to our brief history and historical operating losses, our operations have not been a
sufficient source of liquidity. We will need to obtain additional capital in order to expand
operations and become profitable. In order to obtain capital, we may need to sell additional shares
of our common stock or borrow funds from private lenders. We may not be successful in obtaining
additional funding.
We will still need additional investments in order to continue operations to achieve cash flow
break-even. Additional investments are being sought, but we cannot guarantee that we will be able
to obtain such investments. Financing transactions may include the issuance of equity or debt
securities, obtaining credit facilities, or other financing mechanisms. However, the trading price
of our common stock could make it more difficult to obtain financing through the issuance of equity
or debt securities. Even if we are able to raise the funds required, it is possible that we could
incur unexpected costs and expenses or experience unexpected cash requirements that would force us
to seek alternative financing. Further, if we issue additional
F-10
equity or debt securities, stockholders may experience additional dilution or the new equity
securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of our
common stock. If additional financing is not available or is not available on acceptable terms, we
will have to curtail or cease our operations.

Income Taxes
Potential benefits of income tax losses are not recognized in the accounts until realization is
more likely than not. We have incurred net operating losses for income taxes of approximately
$11,900,000 as of June 30, 2008. Pursuant to SFAS No. 109 we are required to compute tax asset
benefits for net operating losses carried forward. Potential benefit of net operating losses have
not been recognized in these financial statements because we cannot be assured it is more likely
than not we will utilize the net operating losses carried forward in future years.

Long term debt
To obtain funding for our ongoing operations, we entered into a securities purchase agreement
with Cornell Capital Partners, LP, an accredited investor, on January 5, 2006 and amended and
restated on February 9, 2006 and April 28, 2006, for the sale of $5,000,000 in secured convertible
debentures and 12,000,000 warrants. Cornell Capital provided us with an aggregate of $5,000,000 as
follows:
$2,500,000 was disbursed on January 5, 2006;
$1,500,000 was disbursed on February 9, 2006; and
$1,000,000 was disbursed on April 28, 2006
Out of the $5 million in gross proceeds that we received from Cornell Capital upon issuance of
all the secured
convertible debentures, the following fees payable in cash were deducted or paid in connection
with the transaction:
|
|
|
$400,000 fee payable to Yorkville Advisors LLC, the general partner of Cornell Capital;
|
F-11
|
|
|
$15,000 structuring fee payable to Yorkville Advisors LLC, the general partner of Cornell Capital;
|
|
|
|
|
$5,000 due diligence fee payable to Cornell Capital; and
|
|
|
|
|
$250,000 placement agent fee payable to Stonegate Securities, Inc.
|
|
|
|
|
$65,000 other professional fees paid at closing
|
Thus, we received total net proceeds of $4,265,000 from the issuance of secured convertible
debentures to Cornell Capital. In connection with the issuance of secured convertible debentures to
Cornell Capital, we were required under our placement agency agreement with Stonegate Securities,
Inc. to issue to affiliates of Stonegate 75,000 shares of our common stock and 5-year warrants to
purchase 400,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.25.
The secured convertible debentures bear interest at 7%, mature three years from the date of
issuance, and are convertible into our common stock, at the selling stockholders option, at the
lower of (i) $0.93 or (ii) 94% of the lowest volume weighted average prices of our common stock, as
quoted by Bloomberg, LP, during the 30 trading days immediately preceding the date of conversion.
See further discussion in Note 9- Subsequent Events. Accordingly, there is no limit on the number
of shares into which the secured convertible debentures may be converted. except under Section
3(b)(i) limits the number of shares issuable to Cornell Capital Partners, LP upon conversion to
4.99% of the outstanding stock at time of conversion. Under section 39(a)(ii) of the same
agreement, we are required to pay cash in lieu of shares for the portion greater than 4.99%. The
amount of cash is determined by the number of shares issuable upon conversion and the current
market price of our stock. Since the number of shares issuable is calculated using 94% of the
market price, the cash conversion results in approximately a 6% premium paid on conversion. The
conversion price of the secured convertible debentures will be adjusted in the following
circumstances:
If we pay a stock dividend, engage in a stock split, reclassify our shares of common stock or
engage in a similar transaction, the conversion price of the secured convertible debentures will be
adjusted proportionately;
If we issue rights, options or warrants to all holders of our common stock (and not to Cornell
Capital) entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of common stock at a price per share
less than $0.93 per share, other than issuances specifically permitted by the securities purchase
agreement, as amended and restated, then the conversion price of the secured convertible debentures
will be adjusted on a weighted-average basis;
If we issue shares, other than issuances specifically permitted by the securities purchase
agreement, as amended and restated, of our common stock or rights, warrants, options or other
securities or debt that are convertible into or exchangeable for shares of our common stock, at a
price per share less than $0.93 per share, then the conversion price will be adjusted to such lower
price on a full-ratchet basis;
If we distribute to all holders of our common stock (and not to Cornell Capital) evidences of
indebtedness or assets or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security, then the
conversion price of the secured convertible debenture will be adjusted based upon the value of the
distribution as a percentage of the market value of our common stock on the record date for such
distribution;
If we reclassify our common stock or engage in a compulsory share exchange pursuant to which
our common stock is converted into other securities, cash or property, Cornell Capital will have
the option to either (i) convert the secured convertible debentures into the shares of stock and
other securities, cash and property receivable by holders of our common stock following such
transaction, or (ii) demand that we prepay the secured convertible debentures; and
If we engage in a merger, consolidation or sale of more than one-half of our assets, then
Cornell Capital will have the right to (i) demand that we prepay the secured convertible
debentures, (ii) convert the secured convertible debentures into the shares of stock and other
securities, cash and property receivable by holders of our common stock following such transaction,
or (iii) in the case of a merger or consolidation, require the surviving entity to issue to a
convertible debenture with similar terms.
In connection with the securities purchase agreement, as amended and restated, we issued
Cornell Capital warrants to purchase 6,000,000 shares of our common stock exercisable for a period
of five years at an exercise price of $0.81 and
warrants to purchase 6,000,000 shares of our common stock, exercisable for a period of five
years at an exercise price of $0.93. We have the option to force the holder to exercise the
warrants, as long as the shares underlying the warrants are registered pursuant to an effective
registration statement, if our closing bid price trades above certain levels. If the closing bid
F-12
price of our common stock is greater than or equal to $1.10 for a period of 15 consecutive trading
days prior to the forced conversion, we can force the warrant holder to exercise the warrants
exercisable at a price of $0.81. If the closing bid price of our common stock is greater than or
equal to $1.23 for a period of 15 consecutive trading days prior to the forced conversion, we can
force the warrant holder to exercise the warrants exercisable at a price of $0.93.
In connection with the exercise of any of the warrants issued to Cornell Capital, we are
required under our placement agency agreement with Stonegate Securities, Inc. to pay a fee to
Stonegate equal to five percent (5%) of the gross proceeds of any such exercise.
Cornell Capital has agreed to restrict its ability to convert the secured convertible
debentures or exercise the warrants and receive shares of our common stock such that the number of
shares of common stock held by it and its affiliates after such conversion does not exceed 4.99% of
the then issued and outstanding shares of common stock. If the conversion price is less than $0.93,
Cornell Capital may not convert more than $425,000 of secured convertible debentures in any month,
unless we waive such restriction. In the event that the conversion price is equal to or greater
than $0.93, there is no restriction on the amount Cornell Capital can convert in any month.
We have the right, at our option, with three business days advance written notice, to redeem a
portion or all amounts outstanding under the secured convertible debentures prior to the maturity
date if the closing bid price of our common stock, is less than $0.93 at the time of the
redemption. In the event of a redemption, we are obligated to pay an amount equal to the principal
amount being redeemed plus a 15% redemption premium, and accrued interest.
In connection with the securities purchase agreement, we executed a security agreement in
favor of the investor granting them a first priority security interest in all of our goods,
inventory, contractual rights and general intangibles, receivables, documents, instruments, chattel
paper, and intellectual property. The security agreement states that if an event of default occurs
under the secured convertible debentures or security agreements, the investor has the right to take
possession of the collateral, to operate our business using the collateral, and have the right to
assign, sell, lease or otherwise dispose of and deliver all or any part of the collateral, at
public or private sale or otherwise to satisfy our obligations under these agreements.
We also pledged 18,750,000 shares of common stock to secure the obligations incurred pursuant
to the securities purchase agreement, as amended and restated.
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, (FASB 133), we determined that the conversion
feature of the secured convertible debentures met the criteria of an embedded derivative and
therefore the conversion feature of the debt needed to be bifurcated and accounted for as a
derivative. Due to the reset provisions of the secured convertible debentures, the debt does not
meet the definition of conventional convertible debt because the number of shares which may be
issued upon the conversion of the debt is not fixed. Therefore, the conversion feature fails to
qualify for equity classification under (EITF 00-19),
Accounting for Derivative Financial
Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Companys Own Stock
, and must be accounted
for as a derivative liability.
Under the Secured Convertible Debenture, Section 3(b)(i) limits the number of
shares issuable to Cornell Capital Partners, LP upon conversion to 4.99% of the outstanding stock
at time of conversion. Under section 39(a)(ii) of the same agreement, we are required to pay cash
in lieu of shares for the portion greater than 4.99%. The amount of cash is determined by the
number of shares issuable upon conversion and the current market price of our stock. Since the
number of shares issuable is calculated using 94% of the market price, the cash conversion results
in approximately a 6% premium paid on conversion. As a result, the value of the derivative
liability related to the conversion in excess of 4.99% will be based on the Cash Premium Method
rather than using the Black-Scholes model. The conversion option is assumed to be converted via a
cash payment since the January 5, 2006 derivative would use the entire 4.99% cap upon conversion
any such additional conversions would be subsequent using the Black-Scholes method to
mark-to-market. As of June 30, 2008 and 2007 we recorded a liability of $104,410 and $366,568,
respectively.
The holders of the secured convertible debentures and warrants have registration rights that
required us to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission to
register the resale of the common stock issuable upon
conversion of the debenture or the exercise of the warrants. Under (EITF No. 00-19),
Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Companys
Own Stock
, the ability to register stock was deemed to be outside of our control. Accordingly, the
initial aggregate fair value of the warrants were recorded as a derivative liability in
F-13
the
consolidated balance sheet, and is marked to market at the end of each reporting period. Utilizing
the Black-Scholes method we marked-to-market the warrants on a quarterly basis which resulted in a
liability at June 30, 2008 and 2007 of zero and $627,387, respectively. In accordance with EITF
No. 00-19, EITF No. 00-27,
Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments
, the
values assigned to both the debenture, conversion feature and the warrants were allocated based on
their fair values. The fair market value of the warrants and conversion option at issuance
exceeded the principal balance of the secured convertible debentures by $4,933,880. The excess
value was expensed to interest expense at issuance. The amount allocated as a discount on the
secured convertible debentures for the value of the warrants and conversion option will be
amortized to interest expense, using the effective interest method, over the term of the secured
convertible debentures. For the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 the balance of convertible debt
less debt discount was $93,393 and $546, respectively. We accrue interest on the Convertible
Debentures at the rate of 7% per annum. For the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 accrued
interest was $997,014 and $484,912, respectively.
In connection with the second amended and restated securities purchase agreement, we also
entered into a second amended and restated registration rights agreement providing for the filing,
within five days of April 28, 2006, of a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange
Commission registering the common stock issuable upon conversion of the secured convertible
debentures and warrants. We are obligated to use our best efforts to cause the registration
statement to be declared effective no later than 130 days after filing and to insure that the
registration statement remains in effect until the earlier of (i) all of the shares of common stock
issuable upon conversion of the secured convertible debentures have been sold or (ii) January 5,
2008. In the event of a default of our obligations under the registration rights agreement,
including our agreement to file the registration statement no later than May 3, 2006, or if the
registration statement is not declared effective by September 5, 2006, we are required pay to
Cornell Capital, as liquidated damages, for each month that the registration statement has not been
filed or declared effective, as the case may be, either a cash amount or shares of our common stock
equal to 2% of the liquidated value of the secured convertible debentures. As of June 30, 2008 the
registration statement has not been declared effective, therefore we accrued liquidated damages in
the amount of $1,000,000 for the 2007 fiscal year. Due to the failure of the registration statement
to be declared effective we are considered in default and have recorded the debt as a current
liability in these financial statements.
In December 2006, the FASB approved FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. EITF 00-19-2, Accounting
for Registration Arrangements (FSP EITF 00-19-2), which specifies that the contingent obligation
to make future payments or otherwise transfer consideration under a registration payment
arrangement, whether issued as a separate agreement or included as a provision of a financial
instrument or other agreement, should be separately recognized and measured in accordance with SFAS
No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies. FSP EITF 00-19-2 also requires additional disclosure
regarding the nature of any registration payment arrangements, alternative settlement methods, the
maximum potential amount of consideration and the current carrying amount of the liability, if any.
The guidance in FSP EITF 00-19-2 amends FASB Statements No. 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities, and No. 150, Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure
Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others, to include
scope exceptions for registration payment arrangements.
FSP EITF 00-19-2 is effective immediately for registration payment arrangements and the
financial instruments subject to those arrangements that are entered into or modified subsequent to
the issuance date (December 21, 2006) of this FSP, or for financial statements issued for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2006, and interim periods within those fiscal years, for
registration payment arrangements entered into prior to the issuance date of this FSP. We adopted
FSP EITF 00-19-2 effective July 1, 2007 and recorded $600,000 to contingent liability for the
remaining probable payments we will incur prior to expiration of the registration rights agreement
in January 2008. We also reclassified accrued liquidated damages in the amount of $1,000,000 from
accrued interest to contingent liabilities. In addition, the warrants issued in connection with the
Convertible Debentures no longer qualify for liability treatment per EITF Issue No. 00-19,
Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a
Companys Own Stock (EITF 00-19). We have recorded the initial fair market value of the warrants
totaling $4,343,959 to additional paid-in capital and eliminated the June 30, 2007 fair market
value of the warrant liability totaling $627,387. The net effect of the changes in the contingent
liability and warrant liability results in a cumulative change in accounting principle totaling
$4,316,572 recorded to the opening balance of retained earnings as of July 1, 2007.

We entered into a Loan Agreement on December 22, 2005 for an amount of $100,000 from a current
investor, Petrofinanz GmbH. The loan accrues interest at 12% annually and matures June 20, 2006. We
entered into an Amended and Restated Loan Agreement on August 28, 2006 for an additional amount of
$500,000 resulting in a total amount of $600,000. The repayment date was changed to February 28,
2008 and interest accrues at the fixed rate of 10% per annum. We entered into a Second Amended and
Restated Loan Agreement on March 6, 2007 for an additional amount of $400,000 resulting in a total
amount of $1,000,000 at June 30, 2007. The repayment date was extended to June 30, 2009 and
interest continues to accrue at 10% per annum. For the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 accrued
interest was $173,036 and $72,762, respectively.
Note 7
Leases
Effective May 1, 2007, we entered into a five year operating lease for our office space. The
lease requires monthly payments of $10,404 plus the cost of monthly utilities in the amount of
$1,070. For the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, $112,179 and $148,075, respectively, was
charged to rent expense.
Note 8
Stockholders Deficit
Issuances of common stock to officers:
We entered into a written employment agreement on
April 21, 2005, with Mr. Piazza which provided for an annual base salary of $120,000 per year,
which salary was increased to $180,000 on October 11, 2006, and the issuance of up to 1,000,000
shares of our common stock per year for four (4) years, for an aggregate of up to 4,000,000 shares.
The shares issuable to Mr. Piazza under the agreement are subject to vesting based upon the
following schedule:
|
|
|
150,000 shares vested and were issued after three (3) months of service;
|
|
|
|
|
350,000 shares vested and were issued after six (6) months of service;
|
|
|
|
|
500,000 shares vested and were issued after twelve (12) months of service;
|
|
|
|
|
500,000 shares vested and were issued after eighteen (18) months of service;
|
|
|
|
|
500,000 shares vested and were issued after twenty four (24) months of service; and
|
|
|
|
|
500,000 shares will vest every six (6) months thereafter until the forty-eighth (48th)
month of service.
|
On December 19, 2007, Mr. Piazza resigned as a Director and his position with the Company. For
the year ended June 30, 2008, only 500,000 shares vested and were issued to Mr. Piazza. Due to Mr.
Piazzas resignation from the Company, no additional common shares are owed under his employment
agreement and there are no unvested shares outstanding.
We entered into an employment agreement with Shawn L. Clift on November 20, 2006, to serve as
our Chief Financial Officer through November 20, 2009, unless earlier terminated by either
party. Under the agreement, Ms. Clift is to receive an annual base salary of $150,000, subject to
adjustments based upon our and Ms. Clifts annual performance. In addition, Ms. Clift is to
receive 170,000 shares of our common stock, granted in equal six-month increments over three years
beginning May 21, 2007. We may also grant to Ms. Clift up to 260,000 shares of our common stock
each year over the next three years as an annual bonus, subject to adjustments based upon our and
Ms. Clifts individual performance and the approval of the compensation committee of our board of
directors.
On December 19, 2007, Ms. Clift resigned from the Company. For the year ended June 30, 2008,
the Company awarded 430,000 shares of our common stock on November 20, 2007. Of the common shares
issued, 170,000 shares were awarded based six-month grant and 260,000 shares as an annual bonus.
The awards were determined in accordance with FAS 123R and exclude the unvested portion of the
shares of our common stock issuable under her employment agreement. Since Ms. Clift resigned from
the Company on December 19, 2007, no additional common shares have been issued nor are any unvested
restricted shares owed.
Issuance of common stock for services:
We have entered into agreements with Geoff Evett and
Roger A. Leopard in
which we agreed to pay each of the directors $1,500 per month and to issue 180,000 shares of
our common stock to each of them over a three year period beginning January 20, 2006. During the
year ended June 30, 2008, the Company issued 50,000 shares valued at $0.08 per common share
representing the July 17, 2007 commitment. The subsequent six month issuance of
F-15
50,000 shares was
not issued to the directors.
On July 27, 2007 and September 10, 2007 we issued a total of 60,000 shares of common stock
valued at $4,500 or $0.075 per share to Eric Hanlon for advisory services. On October 25, 2007 we
issued 90,000 shares of common stock valued at $4,500, or $0.05 per share, the fair market value of
our common stock at the date of grant, for additional advisory services. For the year ended June
30, 2008, we also recorded expenses under the advisory services agreement with Lifestyles

Conversion of convertible notes:
During the year ended June 30, 2008, YA Global Investments
L.P. (formerly known as Cornell Capital Partners L.P. and referred herein as YA Global) elected
to convert $259,100 of the convertible notes to common shares. The Company issued 43,191,931
common shares using conversion prices ranging $0.029 $0.003. See further discussion concerning
the conversion price in Note 9 Subsequent Events.
Note 9
Subsequent Events
On July 18, 2008, we executed a forbearance agreement with YA Global under which, YA Global
agreed, subject to specified limitations and conditions to forbear from exercising its rights and
remedies arising from our failure to register with the Securities and Exchange Commission shares of
its common stock underlying its secured convertible debentures, for the period commencing on July
17, 2008 and ending on January 5, 2009. Under the Forbearance Agreement, we agreed to make payments
of $55,000 per month of the Forbearance Period to YA Global beginning with the month of August
2008.
Furthermore, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Forbearance Agreement,
contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of the Forbearance Agreement, we amended each of
the following secured convertible debentures issued by us by executing amendments having the effect
that the fixed conversion price (as defined in the Debentures) under each Debenture shall be $0.03:
principal amount of $2,500,000, No. CCP-1, Secured Convertible Debenture issued to YA Global on
February 9, 2006, in the original principal amount of $1,500,000, No. CCP-2, and Secured
Convertible Debenture issued to YA Global on April 28, 2006, in the original principal amount of
$1,000,000, No. CCP-3. Upon execution of the Forbearance Agreement, the effective conversion price will be the lower
of $0.03 or 94% of the lowest Volume Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock during the thirty
trading days immediately preceding the conversion date as quoted by Bloomberg, LP.
Note 10
Related Party Transactions
During the year, we engaged Metlera Capital, S.L., a consulting company owned by or affiliated
with Geoff Evett, our interim President and Chief Operating Officer, for strategic consulting

Proved oil and gas reserves estimates were prepared by a petroleum engineer. The reserve
reports were prepared in accordance with guidelines established by the Securities and Exchange
Commission and, accordingly, were based on existing economic and operating conditions.
There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of proved reserves and in
projecting the future rates of production and timing of development expenditures. The following
reserve data represents estimates only and should not be construed as being exact. Moreover, the
present values should not be construed as the current market value of our natural gas and crude oil
reserves or the costs that would be incurred to obtain equivalent reserves.
The following table sets forth our net proved reserves, including the changes therein, and
proved developed reserves:

The Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows and Changes Therein Relating to
Proved Oil and Natural Gas Reserves (Standardized Measure) does not purport to present the fair
market value of our natural gas and crude oil properties. An estimate of such value should
consider, among other factors, anticipated future prices of natural gas and crude oil, the
probability of recoveries in excess of existing proved reserves, the value of probable reserves and
acreage prospects, and perhaps different discount rates. It should be noted that estimates of
reserve quantities, especially from new discoveries, are inherently imprecise and subject to
substantial revision.
Under the Standardized Measure, future cash inflows were estimated by applying year-end
prices, adjusted for contracts with price floors but excluding hedges, to the estimated future
production of the year-end reserves.
Future cash inflows were reduced by estimated future production and development costs based on
year-end costs to determine pre-tax cash inflows. Future income taxes were computed by applying the
statutory tax rate to the excess of pre-tax cash inflows over our tax basis in the associated
proved natural gas and crude oil properties. Tax credits and net operating loss carry forwards were
also considered in the future income tax calculation. Future net cash inflows after income taxes
were discounted using a 10% annual discount rate to arrive at the Standardized Measure.
The standardized measure of discounted net cash flows relating to proved oil and natural gas
reserves is as follows (in thousands):
