FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

We often discuss expectations regarding our future markets, demand for our products and services, and our performance in our annual and quarterly reports, press releases, and other written and oral statements. Statements that relate to matters that are not historical facts are “forward-looking statements”. These “forward-looking statements” are based on an analysis of currently available competitive, financial and economic data and our operating plans. They are inherently uncertain and investors should recognize that events and actual results could turn out to be significantly different from our expectations. By way of illustration, when used in this document, words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “plan,” “intend,” “estimate,” “project,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “may,” “predict” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.

This Annual Report on Form 10-K, including Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, includes forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, any statements regarding future revenues, costs and expenses, earnings, earnings per share, margins, cash flows, dividends and capital expenditures. Important factors which may affect the actual results include, but are not limited to, political developments, market and economic conditions, changes in raw material, transportation and energy costs, industry competition, the ability to execute and realize the expected benefits from strategic initiatives including revenue growth plans and cost control and productivity improvement programs, changes in mix of products sold, mergers and acquisitions and their integration into Bonanza, changes in financial markets and changing legislation and regulations including changes in tax law or tax regulations. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and the Company’s actual results may differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. The Company assumes no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements for any reason, except as required by law.

The above description of risks and uncertainties is by no means all-inclusive, but is designed to highlight what we believe are important factors to consider. For a more detailed description of risk factors, please see Part I — Item 1A. — Risk Factors.

Unless the context requires otherwise, references in this Annual Report on Form 10-K to “we,” “us,” “our,” “the Company,” or “Bonanza” means Bonanza Oil and Gas, Inc. and, where the context requires, includes our subsidiaries.

General

We are an independent energy company that is engaged in the exploration, development and production of crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids in the United States.

We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on December 24, 2002, under the name “National Filing Agents, Inc.” ("NFA"). On December 18, 2006, NFA filed a registration statement on Form SB-2 to register the stock of its non-affiliated shareholders. The registration was declared effective on January 22, 2007. Effective January 10, 2008, NFA changed its name to “Bonanza Oil & Gas, Inc.” from “National Filing Agents, Inc.” In addition, effective January 10, 2008, the Company’s quotation symbol on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board was changed from NFLA to BGOI and the Company implemented a forward split of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock, whereby every share of the Company’s Common Stock held was exchanged for 2.1 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. All share and per share amounts reflected throughout this document reflect the January 2008 2.1 for 1.0 forward stock split unless otherwise so indicated.

2


On January 26, 2010, the Company implemented a second forward split of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock, whereby every share of the Company’s Common Stock held was exchanged for two shares of the Company’s Common Stock. All share and per share amounts reflected throughout this document also reflect the January 2010 2.0 for 1.0 forward stock split unless otherwise so indicated.

Acquisitions and Dispositions

On October 23, 2007, NFA acquired Plantation Working Interests, LLC ("PWI"), a privately-held Texas limited liability company organized on August 17, 2007, by entering into an Acquisition Agreement and Plan of Merger (collectively the "PWI Agreement") pursuant to which NFA acquired a 100% interest in PWI and other assets in exchange for a total of 21,533,352 shares of NFA common stock. Immediately following the acquisition of PWI, two former affiliated shareholders of NFA cancelled 12,360,000 unregistered shares of NFA common stock held by them. The acquisition of PWI was accounted for as a reverse merger and, therefore, the historical financial statements presented herein are those of PWI.

As a result of the acquisition of PWI, the Company obtained a 22.5% pre-payout (15% post- payout) working interest in eight oil and gas wells in Gonzales County, Texas. PWI paid a total of $750,000 during September 2007 to acquire the wells. PWI was to receive 15.75% of the net revenues from the wells until it had recovered its $750,000 cost at which time the net revenue interest was to drop to 10.5% of net revenues.

Our interest in the eight oil and gas wells acquired by PWI secured $250,000 of short-term debt at December 31, 2008, which matured on December 17, 2008. During 2009, we made a partial payment of $125,000, however at September 30, 2009, we remained in default with respect to the remaining principal and accrued interest totaling $161,388 with respect to this obligation. On June 30, 2009, the lender filed suit against the Company seeking repayment of the principal balance outstanding plus all accrued interest, along with their attorney fees and court costs. In October 2009, we reached a settlement agreement, whereby for a complete release and satisfaction of the unpaid principal and accrued interest the lender foreclosed on the eight oil and gas wells securing this obligation.

Concurrent with entering into the PWI Agreement, the Company purchased a 25% interest in approximately 6,700 acres in the Apclark Field of Southwestern Borden County, Texas in exchange for 12,600,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock.

Concurrent with entering into the PWI Agreement, Mssrs. William Wiseman, President, Chief Executive Officer, President and a Director of the Company, and Robert Teague, Executive Vice President, Chief Operating Officer and a Director of the Company, agreed to assign various nonmonetary assets to the Company. These nonmonetary assets consisted of a 25% working interest on leases containing the Cadillac Prospect in the Mercedes Field of Hidalgo County, Texas and a 50% working interest on leases located within the Damon Mound Field of Brazoria County, Texas, along with seismic data.

On July 18, 2008, the Company, Borland Good North Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Borland”), Black Pearl Energy, Inc. (“Black Pearl”), and the shareholders holding a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Black Pearl, (collectively the “Black Pearl Majority Shareholders”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), which closed on July 18, 2008. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Black Pearl merged with and into Borland, which became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). In consideration for the Merger, the Company issued an aggregate of 14,049,330 (the “Black Pearl Acquisition Shares”) shares of the Company’s Common Stock to the Black Pearl Majority Shareholders and the other shareholders of Black Pearl at the closing of the merger. Prior to the Merger Agreement, Black Pearl owned 5,418,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, which were cancelled in conjunction with the Merger. Black Pearl was an exploration and development company located in Midland, Texas. On July 14, 2008, Black Pearl acquired options to purchase an undivided 75% working interest in two drilling projects for total consideration of $500,000. These two projects were known as the Bourland and the Good North prospects. Concurrently with executing these options, Black Pearl entered into a note agreement with the Company for $500,000. The note bore interest at 8% per year with a maturity date of November 14, 2008, or the date at which a letter of intent to merge the Company expired. The note was cancelled in conjunction with the Merger. At the closing of the acquisition, a total of $2,000,000 in additional consideration was due to fully exercise the option to purchase the 75% working interest in the Bourland and Good North prospects. Due to our ongoing financial difficulties, we were unable to meet our continuing obligations on the Bourland and Good North prospects and in December 2009 forfeited our rights to any further exploration on this acreage and recorded an impairment charge of the costs incurred to date.

Growth Strategy

The Company’s mission is to grow a profitable upstream oil and gas company for the long-term benefit of our shareholders. Our strategy includes building a balanced portfolio of assets, maintaining financial flexibility, and maximizing earnings and cash flows by controlling costs.

Segment Information

The Company operates in one business segment, the exploration, development and production of crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids in the United States. Financial information for the Company can be found beginning on page F-1.

Marketing of Crude Oil and Natural Gas

We operate exclusively in the oil and gas industry. Crude oil and natural gas production from wells owned by us is generally sold directly to oil purchasers and natural gas marketing companies. Sales are generally made on the spot market. These prices often are tied to WTI crude and natural gas futures contracts as posted in national publications. We have not entered into any agreements to hedge or sell forward any of our oil and gas production.

The operators of the properties in which the Company has a working interest are responsible for the sale and marketing of the Company’s share of production. Although management believes that we are not dependent upon any one customer, as there are numerous purchasers of crude oil and natural gas production in the industry, approximately 99% and 76% of the Company’s revenue was received from the operator of the Company’s Apclark wells for the year ended December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. The Company received approximately 1% and 24% of its 2009 and 2008 revenues from the operator of its Plantation wells.

Competition

We are in direct competition with numerous oil and natural gas companies, drilling and income programs and partnerships exploring various areas of Texas and elsewhere competing for properties. Many competitors are large, well-known oil and gas and/or energy companies, although no single entity dominates the industry. Many of our competitors possess greater financial and personnel resources, enabling them to identify and acquire more economically desirable energy producing properties and drilling prospects than us. Additionally, there is competition from other fuel choices to supply the energy needs of consumers and industry. Management believes that there exists a viable market place for smaller producers of crude oil and natural gas.

Seasonality

Weather conditions affect the demand for, and prices of, crude oil and natural gas and can also delay drilling activities, disrupting our overall business plans. Demand for crude oil is typically higher in the second and third quarters resulting from increased driving during the summer months, while demand for natural gas is typically higher in the fourth and first quarters. Due to these seasonal fluctuations, results of operations for individual quarterly periods may not be indicative of the results that may be realized on an annual basis.

Costs and Effects of Compliance with Governmental Regulations and Environmental Laws

Various federal, state and local laws regulating the discharge of materials into the environment, or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment, will directly impact our planned future oil and gas exploration, development and production operations, and consequently may impact our operations and costs moving forward, assuming we are able to raise sufficient capital to purchase oil and gas interests and sustain our operations, of which there can be no assurance. These regulations include, among others,

  • regulations by the Environmental Protection Agency and various state agencies regarding approved methods of disposal for certain hazardous and non-hazardous wastes;

  • the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, Federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act and analogous state laws which regulate the removal or remediation of previously disposed wastes (including wastes disposed of or released by prior owners or operators), property contamination (including groundwater contamination), and remedial plugging operations to prevent future contamination;

  • the Clean Air Act and comparable state and local requirements which may result in the gradual imposition of certain pollution control requirements with respect to air emissions from our operations;

  • the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 which contains numerous requirements relating to the prevention of and response to oil spills into waters of the United States;

  • the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act which is the principal federal statute governing the treatment, storage and disposal of hazardous wastes; and

  • state regulations and statutes governing the handling, treatment, storage and disposal of naturally occurring radioactive material.

We have not had any costs associated with the above regulations to date; however, there can be no assurance that the costs required to comply with the regulations above will not be substantial. Furthermore, if we are deemed not to be in compliance with applicable environmental laws, we could be forced to expend substantial amounts to be in compliance, which would have a materially adverse effect on our available cash and liquidity, and/or could force us to curtail or abandon our current business operations.

Employees

As of December 31, 2009, we had two employees. None of our employees are members of any unions, nor have they entered into any collective bargaining agreements. We believe that our relationship with our employees is good. With the successful implementation of our business plan, we may seek additional employees in the next year to handle anticipated potential growth.

ITEM 1A.

RISK FACTORS

You should carefully consider the following risk factors and all other information contained herein as well as the information included in this Annual Report in evaluating our business and prospects. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties, other than those we describe below, that are not presently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial, may also impair our business operations. If any of the following risks occur, our business and financial results could be harmed. You should refer to the other information contained in this Annual Report, including our consolidated financial statements and the related notes.

The shareholders of Common Stock will have only limited ability to control the Company as there are currently five million shares of Series A Preferred Shares outstanding and the Board of Directors has the ability to issue additional shares of blank check preferred.

On December 2, 2009, we entered into a Conversion Agreement (the “Conversion Agreement”) with Robert Teague (“Teague”), Vice President of Operations and a director of the Company. Pursuant to the Conversion Agreement, Teague converted $60,000 of past due wages owed to him in consideration of 5,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Series A Stock”). Each share of Series A Stock is convertible, at the option of the holder, into twenty shares of common stock. In addition, the holder of the Series A Stock is entitled to vote twenty shares of common stock for each share of Series A Stock. The Series A Stock has no liquidation preference. On December 2, 2009, the shareholders of the Company, holding voting control, authorized 10,000,000 shares of Series D Preferred Shares, which will be blank check preferred shares, and 10,000,000 shares of Series E Preferred Shares, which will also be blank check preferred shares. Our Board of Directors has the authority, without further action by the stockholders, to issue from time to time the blank check preferred stock in one or more series for such consideration and with such relative rights, privileges, preferences and restrictions that the Board may determine. The preferences, powers, rights and restrictions of different series of preferred stock may differ with respect to dividend rates, amounts payable on liquidation, voting rights, conversion rights, redemption provisions, sinking fund provisions and purchase funds and other matters. The issuance of preferred stock could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of common stock.

Any issuance of preferred stock with voting rights could, under certain circumstances, have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company by increasing the number of outstanding shares entitled to vote and by increasing the number of votes required to approve a change in control of the Company. Shares of voting or convertible preferred stock could be issued, or rights to purchase such shares could be issued, to render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of the Company by means of a tender offer, proxy contest, merger or otherwise. The ability of the Board to issue such additional shares of preferred stock, with the rights and preferences it deems advisable, could discourage an attempt by a party to acquire control of the Company by tender offer or other means. Such issuances could therefore deprive stockholders of benefits that could result from such an attempt, such as the realization of a premium over the market price that such an attempt could cause. Moreover, the issuance of such additional shares of preferred stock to persons friendly to the Board could make it more difficult to remove incumbent managers and directors from office even if such change were to be favorable to stockholders generally.

As a result, the common shareholders ability to vote on certain matters and influence control over the Company is limited as there are currently five million shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by Robert Teague and the Board of Directors has the ability to issue additional shares of preferred shares as it deems fit.

There are a large number of shares underlying our existing debt that may be available for future sale and the sale of these shares may depress the market price of our Common Stock.

In January 2008, the Company issued 14% Senior Secured Promissory Notes to accredited investors for an aggregate principal amount of $800,000 (the “January 2008 Notes”). One accredited investor held $750,000 (the “Secured Note”) of the January 2008 Notes (the “Secured Investor). The January 2008 Notes matured on January 31, 2009, with interest payable on a monthly basis. The Company’s obligations under the January 2008 Notes are secured by the Company’s interest in three prospect areas located in Borden, Hidalgo and Brazoria counties of Texas. In addition, in May 2008, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with the Secured Investor providing for the sale by the Company of an 8% convertible note in the principal amount of $750,000 (the “May 2008 Convertible Note” and collectively with the Secured Note, the “Restructured Notes”). The May 2008 Convertible Note matured on May 14, 2009, and interest is payable on a quarterly basis. The May 2008 Convertible Note is unsecured, however, in the event that the Company grants a secured interest in its assets in connection with any future financing, then the holder of the May 2008 Convertible Note will be entitled to a pari passu interest in such secured interest. The May 2008 Convertible Note was convertible into the Company’s common stock, at a conversion price of $0.1871 per common share, as adjusted, and is subject to normal and customary anti-dilution provisions. The Company was advised by Triumph Small Cap Fund, Inc. (“Triumph”) and the Secured Investor that Triumph purchased the Restructured Notes from the Secured Investor. In order to induce Triumph to convert the Restructured Notes into shares of common stock and, in turn, to reduce the Company’s debt and avoid potentially filing for bankruptcy, the Company entered into a Letter Agreement with Triumph on December 2, 2009, pursuant to which the Restructured Notes were amended providing that Triumph may from time to time convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid principal amount of the Restructured Notes into shares of common stock. The Restructured Notes are convertible into common stock, at Triumph's option at $0.0025. Triumph has agreed to restrict its ability to convert the Restructured Notes and receive shares of common stock such that the number of shares of common stock held by it in the aggregate and its affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of common stock. In addition, management is attempting to convert other debt on its balance sheet into shares of Common Stock. As a result, shareholders and potential investors should expect the continuance of the conversion of debt into shares of common stock and the resale of such shares of common stock, which, in turn will continue to depress the market price of our Common Stock.

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 received a limited amount of revenues from operations and have limited assets. We have yet to generate positive earnings and there can be no assurance that we will ever operate profitably. We have a limited operating history. 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 developing 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. If our business plan is not successful, and we are not able to operate profitably, investors may lose some or all of their investment.

There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

We received an audit report for the year ended December 31, 2009, from our independent registered public accounting firm containing an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has no significant operating history as of December 31, 2009, and since inception, the Company has not had significant revenues. Management raised additional equity and debt financing to fund operations and to provide additional working capital. However, we do not have sufficient capital for current operations through our cash position and current cash flow. To continue our growth and to fund our expansion plans we will require additional funding. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain such financing on attractive terms, if at all.

We do not intend to pay dividends to our shareholders.

We do not currently intend to pay cash dividends on our Common Stock and do not anticipate paying any dividends at any time in the foreseeable future. At present, we will follow a policy of retaining all of our earnings, if any, to finance development and expansion of our business.

Our officers and directors have limited liability, and we are required in certain instances to indemnify our officers and directors for breaches of their fiduciary duties.

We have adopted provisions in our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws which limit the liability of our officers and directors and provide for indemnification by us of our officers and directors to the full extent permitted by Nevada corporate law. Our articles generally provide that our officers and directors shall have no personal liability to us or our shareholders for monetary damages for breaches of their fiduciary duties as directors, except for breaches of their duties of loyalty, acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or knowing violation of law, acts involving unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock purchases or redemptions, or any transaction from which a director derives an improper personal benefit. Such provisions substantially limit our shareholders' ability to hold officers and directors liable for breaches of fiduciary duty, and may require us to indemnify our officers and directors.

We face intense competition.

We compete against many other energy companies, most of which have considerably greater resources and abilities than we do. These competitors may have greater marketing and sales capacity, established distribution networks, significant goodwill and global name recognition.

We depend significantly upon the continued involvement of our present management.

Our success depends to a significant degree upon the involvement of our management, who are in charge of our strategic planning and operations. We may need to attract and retain additional talented individuals in order to carry out our business objectives. The competition for such persons could be intense and there are no assurances that these individuals will be available to us.

Our business is subject to extensive regulation.

As many of our activities are subject to federal, state and local regulation, and as these rules are subject to constant change or amendment, there can be no assurance that our operations will not be adversely affected by new or different government regulations, laws or court decisions applicable to our operations.

Government regulation and liability for environmental matters may adversely affect our business and results of operations.

Crude oil and natural gas operations are subject to extensive federal, state and local government regulations, which may be changed from time to time. Matters subject to regulation include discharge permits for drilling operations, drilling bonds, reports concerning operations, the spacing of wells, unitization and pooling of properties and taxation. From time to time, regulatory agencies have imposed price controls and limitations on production by restricting the rate of flow of crude oil and natural gas wells below actual production capacity in order to conserve supplies of crude oil and natural gas. There are federal, state and local laws and regulations primarily relating to protection of human health and the environment applicable to the development, production, handling, storage, transportation and disposal of crude oil and natural gas, byproducts thereof and other substances and materials produced or used in connection with crude oil and natural gas operations. In addition, we may inherit liability for environmental damages caused by previous owners of property we purchase or lease. As a result, we may incur substantial liabilities to third parties or governmental entities. We are also subject to changing and extensive tax laws, the effects of which cannot be predicted. The implementation of new, or the modification of existing, laws or regulations could have a material adverse effect on us.

The crude oil and natural gas reserves we report are estimates and may prove to be inaccurate.

There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating crude oil and natural gas reserves and their estimated values. The reserves we report in our filings with the SEC are estimates and such estimates may prove to be inaccurate because of these uncertainties. Reservoir engineering is a subjective and inexact process of estimating underground accumulations of crude oil and natural gas that cannot be measured in an exact manner. Estimates of economically recoverable crude oil and natural gas reserves depend upon a number of variable factors, such as historical production from the area compared with production from other producing areas and assumptions concerning effects of regulations by governmental agencies, future crude oil and natural gas prices, future operating costs, severance and excise taxes, development costs and work-over and remedial costs. Some or all of these assumptions may in fact vary considerably from actual results. For these reasons, estimates of the economically recoverable quantities of crude 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 there from prepared by different engineers or by the same engineers but at different times may vary substantially. Accordingly, reserve estimates may be subject to downward or upward adjustment. Actual production, revenue and expenditures with respect to our reserves will likely vary from estimates, and such variances may be material.

Crude oil and natural gas well development, re-completion of wells from one reservoir to another reservoir, restoring wells to production and drilling and completing new wells are speculative activities and involve numerous risks and substantial and uncertain costs.

Our growth will be materially dependent upon the success of our future development program. Drilling for crude oil and natural gas and reworking existing wells involves numerous risks, including the risk that no commercially productive crude oil or natural gas reservoirs will be encountered. The cost of drilling, completing and operating wells is substantial and uncertain, and drilling operations may be curtailed, delayed or cancelled as a result of a variety of factors beyond our control, including:

  • unexpected drilling conditions;

  • pressure or irregularities in formations;

  • equipment failures or accidents;

  • inability to obtain leases on economical terms, where applicable;

  • adverse weather conditions;

  • compliance with governmental requirements; and

  • shortages or delays in the availability of drilling rigs or crews and the delivery of equipment.

Drilling or reworking is a highly speculative activity. Even when fully and correctly utilized, modern well completion techniques such as hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling do not guarantee that we will find crude oil and/or natural gas in our wells. Hydraulic fracturing involves pumping a fluid with or without particulates into a formation at high pressure, thereby creating fractures in the rock and leaving the particulates in the fractures to ensure that the fractures remain open, thereby potentially increasing the ability of the reservoir to produce oil or gas. Horizontal drilling involves drilling horizontally out from an existing vertical well bore, thereby potentially increasing the area and reach of the well bore that is in contact with the reservoir. Our future drilling activities may not be successful and, if unsuccessful, such failure would have an adverse effect on our future results of operations and financial condition. We cannot assure you that our overall drilling success rate or our drilling success rate for activities within a particular geographic area will not decline. We may identify and develop prospects through a number of methods, some of which do not include lateral drilling or hydraulic fracturing, and some of which may be unproven. The drilling and results for these prospects may be particularly uncertain. Our drilling schedule may vary from our capital budget. The final determination with respect to the drilling of any scheduled or budgeted prospects will be dependent on a number of factors, including, but not limited to:

  • the results of previous development efforts and the acquisition, review and analysis of data;

  • the availability of sufficient capital resources to us and the other participants, if any, for the drilling of the prospects;

  • the approval of the prospects by other participants, if any, after additional data has been compiled;

  • economic and industry conditions at the time of drilling, including prevailing and anticipated prices for crude oil and natural gas and the availability of drilling rigs and crews;

  • our financial resources and results;

  • the availability of leases and permits on reasonable terms for the prospects; and

  • the success of our drilling technology.

We cannot assure you that these projects can be successfully developed or that the wells discussed will, if drilled, encounter reservoirs of commercially productive crude oil or natural gas. There are numerous uncertainties in estimating quantities of proved reserves, including many factors beyond our control.

Crude oil and natural gas prices are highly volatile in general and low prices will negatively affect our financial results.

Our revenues, operating results, profitability, cash flow, future rate of growth and ability to borrow funds or obtain additional capital, as well as the carrying value of our properties, are substantially dependent upon prevailing prices of crude oil and natural gas. Lower crude oil and natural gas prices also may reduce the amount of crude oil and natural gas that we can produce economically. Historically, the markets for crude oil and natural gas have been very volatile, and such markets are likely to continue to be volatile in the future. Prices for crude oil and natural gas are subject to wide fluctuation in response to relatively minor changes in the supply of and demand for crude oil and natural gas, market uncertainty and a variety of additional factors that are beyond our control, including:

  • worldwide and domestic supplies of crude oil and natural gas;

  • the level of consumer product demand;

  • weather conditions;

  • domestic and foreign governmental regulations;

  • the price and availability of alternative fuels;

  • political instability or armed conflict in oil producing regions;

  • the price and level of foreign imports; and

  • other domestic and global economic conditions.

It is extremely difficult to predict future crude oil and natural gas price movements with any certainty. Declines in crude oil and natural gas prices may materially adversely affect our financial condition, liquidity, ability to finance planned capital expenditures and results of operations.

The market price for our Common Stock may be volatile, and you may not be able to sell our stock at a favorable price or at all.

Many factors could cause the market price of our Common Stock to rise and fall, including:

  • actual or anticipated variations in our quarterly results of operations;

  • changes in market valuations of companies in our industry;

  • changes in expectations of future financial performance;

  • fluctuations in stock market prices and volumes;

  • issuances of Common Stock or other securities in the future;

  • the addition or departure of key personnel;

  • announcements by us or our competitors of acquisitions, dispositions, investments or strategic alliances; and

  • the increase or decline in the price of crude oil or natural gas.

It is possible that the proceeds from sales of our Common Stock may not equal or exceed the prices you paid for it plus the costs and fees of making the sales.

Substantial sales or other issuances of our Common Stock, or the perception that such sales might occur, could depress the market price of our Common Stock.

We cannot predict whether future issuances of our Common Stock or resales in the open market will decrease the market price of our Common Stock. The impact of any such issuances or resales of our Common Stock on our market price may be increased as a result of the fact that our Common Stock is thinly, or infrequently, traded. The exercise of any options or the vesting of any restricted stock that we may grant to directors, executive officers and other employees in the future, the issuance of Common Stock in connection with acquisitions and other issuances of our Common Stock could have an adverse effect on the market price of our Common Stock. In addition, future issuances of our Common Stock may be dilutive to existing shareholders. Any sales or other issuances of substantial amounts of our Common Stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales might occur, could lower the market price of our Common Stock.

10


We have anti-takeover defenses that could delay or prevent an acquisition and could adversely affect the price of our Common Stock.

Provisions in our certificate of incorporation and by-laws and provisions of Nevada law could delay, defer or prevent an acquisition or change in control of us or otherwise adversely affect the price of our Common Stock. Nevada law also contains certain provisions that may have an anti-takeover effect and otherwise discourage third parties from effecting transactions with us.

Penny Stock Regulations may impose certain restrictions on marketability of the Company’s securities.

     The trading of the Company’s Common Stock is subject to rules pertaining to “penny stocks.” The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) has adopted regulations which generally define a “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) of less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. As a result, the Company’s Common Stock is subject to rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established clients and “accredited investors.” For transactions covered by these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of such securities and have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase. Additionally, for any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a risk disclosure document mandated by the SEC relating to the penny stock market. The broker-dealer must also disclose the commission payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealers presumed control over the market. Finally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. Consequently, the “penny stock” rules may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to sell shares of the Company’s Common Stock and may affect the ability of investors to sell such shares of Common Stock in the secondary market and the price at which such investors can sell any of such shares.

     Investors should be aware that, according to the SEC, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include:

  • control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer;

  • manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases;

  • “boiler room” practices involving high pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons;

  • excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and

  • the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the inevitable collapse of those prices with consequent investors losses

The Company’s management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market.

IN ADDITION TO THE RISK FACTORS SET FORTH ABOVE, THE COMPANY IS SUBJECT TO NUMEROUS OTHER RISKS SPECIFIC TO THE PARTICULAR BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY, AS WELL AS GENERAL BUSINESS RISK. INVESTORS ARE URGED TO CONSIDER ALL OF THE RISKS INHERENT IN THE COMPANY'S SECURITIES PRIOR TO PURCHASING OR MAKING AN INVESTMENT DECISION. THE COMPANY'S SECURITIES ARE HIGHLY SPECULATIVE AND INVOLVE A VERY HIGH DEGREE OF RISK.

PROPERTIES

Summary

We maintain our principal office at 3417 Mercer, Suite E, Houston, Texas 77027. Our telephone number at that office is 713-333-5808. Our current office space consists of approximately 500 square feet and our lease is on a month-to-month basis. During 2007 and 2008, we sublet space from United Production & Exploration, Inc., a company majority owned by Mr. Teague and Mr. Wiseman, executive officers and directors of the Company. In November 2008, we entered into a direct lease for our former office space for a 38-month term. The initial monthly rental totals $8,397 per month. Due to the Company’s financial difficulties the Company was required to vacate its prior space in May 2009. We remain obligated for the lease payments on our former office space.

Our crude oil and natural gas properties consist essentially of working interests owned by us in various oil and gas wells and leases located in Texas. Recapped below is a brief synopsis of each of our core areas of operation:

Apclark Field

The Company holds a 25% working interest and an 18.75% net revenue interest in this 1,258 acre producing field located in Borden County, Texas. Primary production is obtained from the Jo Mill Spraberry trend, with offset production exceeding 70 million barrels (“mmbls”) of crude oil and 80 billion cubic feet (“bcf”) of natural gas from the Jo Mill field adjacent to the Company’s acreage position. The Company participated in the drilling of two horizontal wells in the Apclark field during 2008. The Company has identified several additional drilling locations. Total production during 2009 and 2008 totaled 4,456 and 2,644 barrels of crude oil, respectively net to the Company’s interest, and total proved reserves at December 31, 2009, totaled 47,829 barrels of crude oil and 47,569 thousand cubic feet (“mcf”) of natural gas, of which 14,787 barrels of crude oil and 12,849 mcf of natural gas were proved producing reserves.

Damon Mound Field

The Company holds a 50% working interest and a 31.88% net revenue interest in this 5 acre producing field located in Brazoria County, Texas. Historically, primary production is obtained from the Miocene and Frio trend, with cumulative field production in excess of 11 mmbls. The Company has not assigned any proved reserves to this prospect as of yet.

Drilling Statistics

During 2009, we did not participate in the drilling of any wells. During 2008, we participated in drilling two gross development wells (0.5 net wells), both completed as producers and both in the Apclark Field. We did not drill any wells from our inception (August 17, 2007) through December 31, 2007.

Productive Oil and Gas Wells

At December 31, 2009, we had an interest in two gross productive oil wells (0.5 net wells).

   December 31, 2008   3,197   $  24.94   $  71.80  

Gross and Net Undeveloped and Developed Acreage

The following table sets out our gross and net acreage position:

Undeveloped Acreage     Developed Acreage  
 Gross   Net     Gross     Net  
1,258 316 80 20

As of December 31, 2009, five (5) gross, three (3) net acres of the undeveloped acres expire November 5, 2010, the balance of the undeveloped acreage is held by production and currently has no expiration date.

Estimated Proved Reserves and Future Net Cash Flows

In January 2009 the SEC issued Release No. 33-8995, “Modernization of Oil and Gas Reporting” (Release 33-8995), amending oil and gas reporting requirements under Rule 4-10 of Regulation S-X and Industry Guide 2 in Regulation S-K and bringing full-cost accounting rules into alignment with the revised disclosure requirements. The new rules include changes to the pricing used to estimate reserves, the option to disclose probable and possible reserves, revised definitions for proved reserves, additional disclosures with respect to undeveloped reserves, and other new or revised definitions and disclosures. In January 2010 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) amended Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 932, “Extractive Industries — Oil and Gas” to align the guidance with the changes made by the SEC. The Company adopted Release 33-8995 and the amendments to ASC Topic 932 (collectively, the Modernization Rules) effective December 31, 2009.

Proved oil and gas reserves are the estimated quantities of natural gas, crude oil, condensate 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. Reserve estimates are considered proved if economical productivity is supported by either actual production or conclusive formation tests. Estimated reserves that can be produced economically through application of improved recovery techniques are included in the “proved” classification when successful testing by a pilot project or the operation of an active, improved recovery program in the reservoir provides support for the engineering analysis on which the project or program is based. Estimated proved developed oil and gas reserves can be expected to be recovered through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods.

13


Proved undeveloped (PUD) reserves include those 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. Undeveloped reserves may be classified as proved reserves on undrilled acreage directly offsetting development areas that are reasonably certain of production when drilled, or where reliable technology provides reasonable certainty of economic producibility. Undrilled locations may be classified as having undeveloped reserves only if a development plan has been adopted indicating that they are scheduled to be drilled within five years, unless specific circumstances justify a longer time period.

As of December 31, 2009, the Company had total estimated proved reserves of 47,829 barrels of crude oil, condensate and natural gas liquids and 47,569 mcf of natural gas, of which 14,787 barrels of crude oil and 12,849 mcf of natural gas were proved producing reserves and the balance were PUD reserves. Combined, these total estimated proved reserves are equivalent to 55,757 barrels of oil equivalent or 334,543 mcf of natural gas equivalent.

The Company emphasizes that its reported reserves are estimates which, by their nature, are subject to revision. The estimates are made using available geological and reservoir data, as well as production performance data.

Estimates of proved developed and proved undeveloped reserves as of December 31, 2009, were based on estimates made by Joe C. Neal & Associates, independent petroleum engineers. Our independent engineers, Joe C. Neal & Associates, are engaged by and provided their report to our senior management team. We make representations to the independent engineers that we have provided all relevant operating data and documents, and in turn, we review the reserve reports provided by the independent engineers to ensure completeness and accuracy. Management cautions that there are many inherent uncertainties in estimating proved reserve quantities and related revenues and expenses, and in projecting future production rates and the timing and amount of development expenditures. Accordingly, these estimates will change, as future information becomes available.

The Company’s estimates of proved reserves, proved developed reserves and proved undeveloped reserves as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, changes in estimated proved reserves during the last two years, and estimates of future net cash flows from proved reserves are contained in Note 9 — Supplemental Oil and Gas Disclosures in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements set forth in Part IV, Item 15 of this Form 10-K. Estimated future net cash flows as of December 31, 2009, were calculated using a discount rate of 10 percent per annum, end of period costs, and an unweighted arithmetic average of commodity prices in effect on the first day of each month in 2009, and held flat for the life of the production. Future net cash flows as of December 31, 2008, were estimated using commodity prices in effect at the end of that year, in accordance with the SEC guidelines in effect prior to the issuance of the Modernization Rules.

ITEM 3.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. We are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that we believe will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse affect on our business, financial condition or operating results.

The value of the 4,241,000 common shares was determined to be $127,230, based on the market price of the Company’s Common Stock at the time of issuance, and was recorded as stock compensation expense, common stock and additional paid-in capital.

On June 3, 2009, pursuant to an Employment Agreement entered on June 1, 2009, the Company issued 4,523,000 restricted shares of Common Stock to its Executive Vice President. The value of the 4,523,000 common shares was determined to be $135,690, based on the market price of the Company’s Common Stock at the time of issuance, and was recorded as stock compensation expense, common stock and additional paid-in capital.

15


On July 31, 2009, pursuant to the terms of the January 2008 Notes, the Company was required to issue 300,000 shares of its Common Stock as a penalty for not having repaid the outstanding borrowings. The value of the 300,000 common shares was determined to be $10,500, based on the market price of the Company’s Common Stock at the time of issuance, and was recorded as interest expense, common stock and additional paid-in capital.

During 2009, the Company issued an aggregate of 7,607,400 common shares for consulting services. The Company recognized expenses totaling $304,227 based on the fair value of the Company’s Common Stock at date of issuance.

In January 2008, the Company issued 14% Senior Secured Promissory Notes to accredited investors for an aggregate principal amount of $800,000 (the “January 2008 Notes”). One accredited investor held $750,000 (the “Secured Note”) of the January 2008 Notes (the “Secured Investor). The January 2008 Notes matured on January 31, 2009, with interest payable on a monthly basis. In addition, in May 2008, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with the Secured Investor providing for the sale by the Company of an 8% convertible note in the principal amount of $750,000 (the “May 2008 Convertible Note” and collectively with the Secured Note, the “Restructured Notes”). The May 2008 Convertible Note matured on May 14, 2009, and interest is payable on a quarterly basis. The May 2008 Convertible Note was convertible into the Company’s common stock, at a conversion price of $0.3742 per common share, as adjusted, and is subject to normal and customary anti-dilution provisions. The Company was advised by Triumph Small Cap Fund, Inc. (“Triumph”) and the Secured Investor that Triumph purchased the Restructured Notes from the Secured Investor. In order to induce Triumph to convert the Restructured Notes into shares of common stock and, in turn, to reduce the Company’s debt and avoid potentially filing for bankruptcy, the Company entered into a Letter Agreement with Triumph on December 2, 2009, pursuant to which the Restructured Notes were amended providing that Triumph may from time to time convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid principal amount of the Restructured Notes into shares of common stock. The Restructured Notes are convertible into common stock, at Triumph's option at $0.0025. Triumph has agreed to restrict its ability to convert the Restructured Notes and receive shares of common stock such that the number of shares of common stock held by it in the aggregate and its affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of common stock. As of December 31, 2009, a total of 30,080,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock had been issued pursuant to conversion of $75,200 of principal and accrued interest under the Restructured Notes. As of April 13, 2010, conversion notices for an additional 499,500,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock had been issued pursuant to the conversion of an additional $1,248,750 of principal and accrued interest under the Restructured Notes.

During December 2009, the Company converted $6,000 of accounts payable into 2,400,000 shares of Common Stock. As of April 13, 2010, an additional 15,199,999 shares of the Company’s Common Stock had been issued in settlement of an additional $107,530 of accounts payable.

In August 2008, the Company entered into four 12% Unsecured Promissory Notes, and Securities Purchase Agreements, with accredited investors for an aggregate principal amount of $500,000 (the "August 2008 Notes") The August 2008 Notes matured on September 28, 2008. As of December 31, 2009, the Company was in default of the repayment provision with respect to the August 2008 Notes; however, the lenders have not yet taken any further action with respect to the default. Although the Company is actively seeking additional financing to remedy this default, and is in constant communication with the lenders, there can be no assurances that the lenders will continue to delay the enforcement of their remedies under the August 2008 Notes. In order to induce certain of the holders to convert their August 2008 Notes into shares of common stock and, in turn, to reduce the Company’s debt and avoid potentially filing for bankruptcy, as of April 13, 2010, we have entered in conversion notices to issue a total of 31,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock in settlement of $77,500 of principal and accrued interest on the August 2008 Notes.

The above issuances were made in reliance upon exemptions from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) under the Securities Act of 1933 and Rule 506 promulgated under Regulation D thereunder. The holders of the above securities are accredited investors as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933.

Overview

Our Company is an independent energy company engaged primarily in the acquisition, development, production and the sale of crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids. Our production activities are located in the United States of America. The principal executive offices of the Company are located at 3417 Mercer, Suite E, Houston, TX 77027. Our operations were originally conducted through PWI, which held a working interest (22.5% pre-payout, 15% post-payout) in eight oil and gas wells in Gonzales County, TX.

On October 23, 2007, PWI merged with NFLA, which was the entity that survived the merger, by entering into an Acquisition Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Acquisition Agreement"), pursuant to which NFLA acquired, through an exchange transaction, all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of privately held PWI, a 25% interest in a lease on Cadillac Prospect in Mercedes field in Hidalgo County, TX and a 50% interest in a lease on the Point Bar Prospect in the Damon Mound field in Brazoria County, TX and other properties and assets from its members and issued 21,533,352 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. In addition, on October 23, 2007, in conjunction with the Acquisition Agreement, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with Lucas Energy, Inc. to acquire a 25% working interest in the ApClark field located in Borden County, TX through the issuance of 12,600,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. In conjunction with the transaction, NFLA amended its Articles of Incorporation to change the Company's name to Bonanza Oil & Gas, Inc., forward split its Common Stock on a 2.1 to 1 ratio, and changed its trading symbol on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board to "BGOI". All share amounts herein reflect the 2.1:1 forward stock split.

17


On January 26, 2010, the Company implemented a second forward split of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock, whereby every share of the Company’s Common Stock held was exchanged for two shares of the Company’s Common Stock. All share and per share amounts reflected throughout this document also reflect the January 2010 2.0 for 1.0 forward stock split unless otherwise so indicated.

On July 18, 2008, the Company, Borland Good North Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Borland”), Black Pearl Energy, Inc. (“Black Pearl”), and the shareholders holding a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Black Pearl, (collectively the “Black Pearl Majority Shareholders), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), which closed on July 18, 2008. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Black Pearl merged with and into Borland, which became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). In consideration for the Merger, the Company issued an aggregate of 14,049,330 (the “Black Pearl Acquisition Shares”) shares of the Company’s Common Stock to the Black Pearl Majority Shareholders and the other shareholders of Black Pearl at the closing of the merger. Prior to the Merger Agreement, Black Pearl owned 5,418,000 shares of the Company, which were cancelled in conjunction with the Merger.

Black Pearl was an exploration and development company located in Midland, Texas. On July 14, 2008, Black Pearl acquired options to purchase an undivided 75% working interest in two drilling projects for total consideration of $500,000. These two projects were known as the Bourland and the Good North prospects. Concurrently with executing these options, Black Pearl entered into a note agreement with the Company for $500,000. The note bore interest at 8% per year with a maturity date of November 14, 2008, or the date at which a letter of intent to merge the Company expired. The note was cancelled in conjunction with the Merger. At the closing of the acquisition, a total of $2,000,000 in additional consideration was due to fully exercise the option to purchase the 75% working interest in the Bourland and Good North prospects.

Due to our ongoing financial difficulties, we were unable to meet our continuing obligations on the Bourland and Good North prospects and in December 2009 forfeited our rights to any further exploration on this acreage and recorded an impairment charge of the costs incurred to date at December 31, 2009.

Furthermore, our interest in the eight oil and gas wells acquired by PWI secured $250,000 of short-term debt at December 31, 2008, which matured on December 17, 2008. During 2009, we made a partial payment of $125,000, however at September 30, 2009, we remained in default with respect to the remaining principal and accrued interest totaling $161,388 with respect to this obligation. On June 30, 2009, the lender filed suit against the Company seeking repayment of the principal balance outstanding plus all accrued interest, along with their attorney fees and court costs. In October 2009, we reached a settlement agreement, whereby for a complete release and satisfaction of the unpaid principal and accrued interest the lender foreclosed on the eight oil and gas wells securing this obligation.

The Company has incurred significant losses and had negative cash flow from operations since inception on August 17, 2007, and has an accumulated deficit of $15,940,953 at December 31, 2009. Substantial portions of the losses are attributable to non-cash writedowns of oil and gas properties, with the balance attributable to primarily personnel costs, legal and professional fees, and financing costs. The Company's operating plans require additional funds that may take the form of debt or equity financings. There can be no assurance that any additional funds will be available. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is in substantial doubt and is dependent upon achieving a profitable level of operations and obtaining additional financing.

We have undertaken steps as part of a plan to improve operations with the goal of sustaining our operations for the next twelve months and beyond. These steps include (a) raising additional capital and/or obtaining financing, if available, (b) converting debt and accounts payable into common shares (c) increasing our current production (d) continuing development drilling or farming out our interest in our proved, undeveloped properties and (e) controlling overhead and expenses.

There can be no assurance that we will successfully accomplish these steps and it is uncertain we will achieve a profitable level of operations and/or obtain additional financing. There can be no assurance that any additional financings will be available to us on satisfactory terms and conditions, if at all. In the event we are unable to continue as a going concern, we may elect or be required to seek protection from our creditors by filing a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or may be subject to an involuntary petition in bankruptcy. To date, management has not considered this alternative, nor does management view it as a likely occurrence.

During the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company realized gross revenue from its first two development wells drilled in the exploitation of the Apclark field in the second half of 2008. During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company also realized production from three of its eight wells in the Plantation field, while in 2009 the Company only realized such production during the first three months of the year. During the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company had total sales, net to its interest, of 4,563 and 3,197 barrels of crude oil, respectively, and realized average prices of $56.52 and $71.80, respectively. During the same periods, lease operating expenses, including severance and other taxes and transportation costs, totaled $33.05 and $24.94 per barrel, respectively, resulting in netbacks to the Company of $23.47 and $46.86 per barrel, respectively.

The oil and gas industry as a whole experienced a year of extremes in 2008. Crude oil and natural gas prices climbed precipitously in the first half of the year, only to pull back in the third quarter before collapsing in the fourth quarter. Global demand continued to stay weak during early 2009 and only started to rebound in the latter half of the year.

Recurring depreciation, depletion and amortization expense totaled $93,947 and $399,289 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, most of which is attributable to depletion on our Apclark field and Plantation field producing properties. In addition, despite higher realized prices during 2008, the low oil and gas prices in effect at the end of the year resulted in a $3,920,764 non-cash write-down of the carrying value of Company’s proved oil and gas properties. As a result of our ongoing financial difficulties, we forfeited our right to develop the Bourland and Good North prospects and were required to include the capitalized cost incurred in securing those assets in our amortization base. As a result, we were required to record an additional $6,485,455 non-cash write-down of the carrying value of our proved oil and gas properties at December 31, 2009. See Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in this Form 10-K – to our consolidated financial statements.

For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, general and administrative expenses totaled $1,498,294 and $1,467,659, respectively. For 2009, these expenses consisted primarily of payroll and other personnel expenses ($447,129), stock compensation ($327,920), legal and other business consulting expenses ($386,182), audit and accounting services ($100,500) and rent expense ($88,111). For 2008, these expenses were comprised primarily of non-cash charges resulting from the issuance of 1,475,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock to consultants for services provided ($568,500), payroll and other personnel expenses ($422,668), legal expenses ($171,204) and audit and accounting services ($86,777).

On December 2, 2009, the Company entered into a Letter Agreement with the holder of $750,000 principal amount of the January 2008 Notes whereby, in order to induce the holder to convert the notes into shares of the Company’s common stock and, in turn, to reduce the Company’s debt and avoid potentially filing for bankruptcy, the $750,000 of principal of January 2008 Notes held by holder were amended providing that the holder may from time to time convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid principal amount of their January 2008 Notes into shares of the Company’s common stock, at the holder's option, at the lesser of (i) $0.0025 or (ii) a 50% discount to the average of the three lowest trading prices of the common stock during the 20 trading day period prior to conversion (the “Variable Conversion Price”). On January 29, 2010, the Company entered into a Letter Agreement with the holder removing the holder’s ability to convert at the Variable Conversion Price. During December 2009, the holder converted $75,200 of principal and accrued interest due into 30,080,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The Company recognized a loss of $347,720 on conversion as a result of the difference between the conversion price and the fair market value of the Company’s common shares, as determined by the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board on the day prior to the conversion. In addition, during December 2009, we issued 2,400,000 of the Company’s Common Stock in settlement of $6,000 of accounts payable. We recognized a loss of $38,400 on conversion as a result of the difference between the conversion price and the fair market value of the Company’s common shares, as determined by the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board on the day prior to the conversion.

Financing costs, net for the years ended December 21, 2009 and 2008, totaled $518,129 and $1,224,930, respectively. The Company capitalized $458,353 and $208,690 of interest associated with unproved properties during the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The balance of financing costs recognized was primarily attributable to the amortization of deferred financing fees and discounts associated with the outstanding debt.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At December 31, 2009, we had cash on hand of $9,892 and a working capital deficit of $3,753,491 consisting primarily of $2,542,528 of short-term debt, representing $2,569,800 face value of all of our debt outstanding less $27,272 of unamortized discount and $1,223,444 of accounts payable and other accrued expenses.

We have raised net proceeds of $6,093,723 in various debt and equity financings since our inception (August 17, 2007), including $771,130 since January 1, 2009, and have used the majority of the net proceeds to successfully begin the exploitation of our interest in the Apclark field with the completion of the first two wells to be drilled, the acquisition of our interest in the Plantation field, initial payments on the Bourland and Good North prospects acquired in the merger with Black Pearl Energy, Inc., as well as for general and administrative expenses and working capital purposes.

Net cash used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2009, totaled $314,874 and consisted primarily of the net loss of $8,878,301, net of non-cash charges totaling $6,579,402 related to depreciation, depletion and amortization expense, including $6,485,455 of non-cash ceiling limitation required writedown, $518,129 related to the amortization of deferred financing fees and discount on outstanding debt, $386,120 loss on conversion of debt and accounts payable into shares of the Company’s common stock, $327,920 in stock-based compensation, $304,227 related to the fair value of common shares issued for consulting services, and $53,000 non-cash charge for the value of the Company’s common shares issued as a charitable contribution. The Company also had $394,629 of other working capital changes. Net cash used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2008, totaled $1,059,414 and consisted primarily of the net loss of $6,865,407, net of non-cash charges totaling $4,320,053 related to depreciation, depletion and amortization expense, including $3,920,764 of non-cash ceiling limitation required writedown, $568,500 related to the fair value of common shares issued for consulting services and $1,225,143 related to the amortization of deferred financing fees and discount on outstanding debt. The Company also had $307,703 of other working capital changes, primarily consisting of drilling costs advanced.

20


Net cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2009, totaled $32,170 and consisted primarily of the payments made by the Company on outstanding amounts due for its initial drilling activity in its Apclark field. Net cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2008, totaled $3,289,555 and consisted primarily of the Company’s drilling activity in its Apclark field and the initial payments on the Bourland and Good North prospects.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2009, resulted from the issuance of several notes payable during the year. Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2008, totaled $4,198,493 and consisted of $2,188,493 in net proceeds from the Company’s equity offering and the issuance of several notes payable during the year. The Company incurred $56,370 and $90,000 of cash issue costs related to the issuance of various debt instruments during the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. See Note 4 to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements for a complete discussion of the note issuances and Note 5 for a complete discussion of the equity issuances.

We are in default on the January 2008 Notes

In January 2008, we entered into three 14% Senior Secured Promissory Note and Security Agreements, and Securities Purchase Agreements, with accredited investors for an aggregate principal amount of $800,000 (the "January 2008 Notes") and the issuance of 320,000 shares of our Common Stock. The January 2008 Notes matured on January 31, 2009. Under the terms of the January 2008 Notes, as a result of their non-repayment as of July 31, 2009, we were obligated to issue an additional 300,000 shares of our Common Stock as an additional interest payment. We issued the additional 300,000 shares of Common Stock in August 2009.

We are in default with respect to the repayment obligation upon maturity which occurred on January 31, 2009. Pursuant to the terms of the January 2008 Notes, upon becoming in default, the interest rate on all amounts outstanding increased to 24% per annum. On December 2, 2009, we entered a Letter Agreement with the holder of $750,000 principal amount of the January 2008 Notes whereby, in order to induce the holder to convert the notes into shares of our common stock and, in turn, to reduce our debt and avoid potentially filing for bankruptcy, the terms of the $750,000 of principal of January 2008 Notes held by holder were amended providing that the holder may from time to time convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid principal amount of their January 2008 Notes into shares of our common stock, at the holder's option, at the lesser of (i) $0.0025 or (ii) a 50% discount to the average of the three lowest trading prices of the common stock during the 20 trading day period prior to conversion (the “Variable Conversion Price”). On January 29, 2010, we entered into a Letter Agreement with the holder removing the holder’s ability to convert at the Variable Conversion Price. During December 2009, the holder converted $75,200 of principal and accrued interest due into 30,080,000 shares of our Common Stock. As of April 13, 2010, we have entered into conversion agreements whereby an additional $868,750 of principal and accrued interest on the January 2008 Notes has been, or will be, converted into 347,500,000 million shares of our Common Stock

We have not cured the underlying default with respect to any of the January 2008 Notes; however, the lenders have not yet taken any further action with respect to the default. Although we are actively seeking additional financing to remedy this default, continuing to convert principal and accrued interest into shares of our Common Stock and are in constant communication with the lenders, there can be no assurances that the lenders will continue to delay the enforcement of their remedies under the January 2008 Notes.

21


We are in default on the May 2008 Convertible Note

In May 2008, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with an accredited investor providing for the sale of an 8% convertible note in the principal amount of $750,000 (the "May 2008 Convertible Note") and the issuance of 750,000 shares of our Common Stock, a Series A Common Stock Purchase Warrant to purchase 1,500,000 shares of our Common Stock (the “Series A May Warrant”) and a Series B Common Stock Purchase Warrant to purchase 1,500,000 shares of our Common Stock (the “Series B May Warrant”). The May 2008 Convertible Note matured on May 14, 2009, and interest is payable on a quarterly basis. The May 2008 Convertible Note was convertible into our Common Stock, at a conversion price of $0.1871 per common share, as adjusted, and is subject to normal and customary anti-dilution provisions.

We have not made any required interest payment since March 31, 2009, and we were unable to repay the May 2008 Convertible Note at maturity on May 14, 2009. Pursuant to the terms of the May 2008 Convertible Note, upon becoming in default, the interest rate on all amounts outstanding increased to 15% per annum. On December 2, 2009, we entered into a Letter Agreement with the holder of the May 2008 Convertible Note whereby, in order to induce the holder to convert the May 2008 Convertible Note into shares of our common stock and, in turn, to reduce our debt and avoid potentially filing for bankruptcy, the May 2008 Convertible Note was amended providing that the holder may from time to time convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid principal amount of the May 2008 Convertible Note into shares of our common stock, at the holder's option, at the lesser of (i) $0.0025 or (ii) a 50% discount to the average of the three lowest trading prices of the common stock during the 20 trading day period prior to conversion (the “Variable Conversion Price”). On January 29, 2010, we entered into a Letter Agreement with the holder removing the holder’s ability to convert at the Variable Conversion Price. The holder did not convert any of the May 2008 Convertible Note into shares of our Common Stock during the year ended December 31, 2009. As of April 13, 2010, we have entered into conversion agreements whereby a total of $380,000 principal and accrued interest of the May 2008 Convertible Note has been, or will be, converted into 152,000,000 shares of our Common Stock.

We have not cured the default with respect to the May 2008 Convertible Note; however, the lender has not yet taken any further action with respect to the default. Although we are actively seeking additional financing to remedy this default, continuing to convert principal and accrued interest into shares of our Common Stock and are in constant communication with the lender, there can be no assurances that the lender will continue to delay the enforcement of their remedies under the May 2008 Convertible Note.

We are in default on the August 2008 Notes

In August 2008, we entered into four 12% Unsecured Promissory Notes, and Securities Purchase Agreements, with accredited investors for an aggregate principal amount of $500,000 (the "August 2008 Notes"). The August 2008 Notes matured on September 28, 2008.

We are in default of the repayment provision with respect to the August 2008 Notes; however, the lenders have not yet taken any further action with respect to the default. Although we are actively seeking additional financing, began, in 2010, to convert principal and accrued interest into shares of our Common Stock and are in constant communication with the lenders, there can be no assurances that the lenders will continue to delay the enforcement of their remedies under the August 2008 Notes. Pursuant to the terms of the August 2008 Notes, we are required to issue to the holders of the August 2008 Notes, a total of 250,000 warrants to purchase shares of our Common Stock every 30 days that amounts remain outstanding under the August 2008 Notes. In order to induce certain of the holders to convert their August 2008 Notes into shares of common stock and, in turn, to reduce the Company’s debt and avoid potentially filing for bankruptcy, as of April 13, 2010, we have entered in conversion notices to issue a total of 31,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock in settlement of $77,500 of principal and accrued interest on the August 2008 Notes.

We are in default of the repayment provision with respect to the October 2008 Note; however, the lender has not yet taken any further action with respect to the default.

In the event that the May 2009 Note was not repaid by August 24, 2009, the interest rate increased to 18% per annum and the lender, at its option, could convert all outstanding amounts in shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a conversion price of $0.05 per share.

We are in default of the repayment provision with respect to the May 2009 Note; however, the lender has not yet taken any further action with respect to the default. Although we are actively seeking additional financing to remedy this default, and are in constant communication with the lender, there can be no assurances that the lender will continue to delay the enforcement of their remedies under the May 2009 Note.

We are in default on the July 2009 Note

On July 16, 2009, we issued an unsecured promissory note to an accredited investor providing for a loan of $40,000 (the “July 2009 Note”). The July 2009 Note matured on October 13, 2009.

23


We are in default of the repayment provision with respect to the November 30, 2009 Note; however, the lender has not yet taken any further action with respect to the default. Although we are actively seeking additional financing to remedy this default, and are in constant communication with the lender, there can be no assurances that the lender will continue to delay the enforcement of their remedies under the November 30, 2009 Note.

Capital Expenditures and 2010 Outlook

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 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. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining additional funding.

We will still need additional capital in order to continue operations until we are able to achieve positive operating cash flow. Additional capital is 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 and a downturn in the North American stock and debt markets 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. Furthermore, 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 our operations.

Contractual Obligations

We are subject to various financial obligations and commitments in the normal course of operations. These contractual obligations represent future cash payments that we are required to make and relate primarily to notes payable and accounts payable, all of which are due currently and which are reflected on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2009, found in Item 15 in this Form 10-K. The Company does have an operating lease obligation with annual payments totaling $103,790 in 2010, $108,321 in 2011 and $36,610 in 2012. The Company expects to fund these contractual obligations with additional financing, either in the form of equity or debt issuances, for which there is no assurance that any additional financings will be available to us on satisfactory terms and conditions, if at all.

Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company does not currently utilize any off-balance sheet arrangements with unconsolidated entities to enhance liquidity and capital resource positions.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discusses our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates our estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, recovery of oil and gas reserves, financing operations, and contingencies and litigation.

Oil and Gas Properties

We follow the full cost method of accounting for oil and gas producing activities. Costs to acquire mineral interests in oil and gas properties, to drill and equip exploratory wells used to find proved reserves, and to drill and equip development wells including directly related overhead costs and related asset retirement costs are capitalized.

Under this method, all costs, including internal costs directly related to acquisition, exploration and development activities are capitalizable as oil and gas property costs. Properties not subject to amortization consist of exploration and development costs which are evaluated on a property-by-property basis. Amortization of these unproved property costs begins when the properties become proved or their values become impaired. Bonanza assesses the realizability of unproved properties, if any, on at least an annual basis or when there has been an indication that impairment in value may have occurred. Impairment of unproved properties is assessed based on management's intention with regard to future exploration and development of individually significant properties and the ability of Bonanza to obtain funds to finance such exploration and development. If the results of an assessment indicate that the properties are impaired, the amount of the impairment is added to the capitalized costs to be amortized.

The provision for depreciation and depletion of oil and gas properties is computed on the unit-of-production method. Under this method, we compute the provision by multiplying the total unamortized costs of oil and gas properties including future development, site restoration, and dismantlement abandonment costs, but excluding costs of unproved properties by an overall rate determined by dividing the physical units of oil and gas produced during the period by the total estimated units of proved oil and gas reserves. This calculation is done on a country-by-country basis. As of December 31, 2009, all of our oil production operations are conducted in the United States of America. The cost of unevaluated properties not being amortized, to the extent there is such a cost, is assessed quarterly to determine whether the value has been impaired below the capitalized cost. The cost of any impaired property is transferred to the balance of oil and gas properties being depleted. The costs associated with unevaluated properties relate to projects which were undergoing exploration or development activities or in which we intend to commence such activities in the future. We will begin to amortize these costs when proved reserves are established or impairment is determined.

In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 410 “Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations," we report a liability for any legal retirement obligations on our oil and gas properties. The asset retirement obligations represent the estimated present value of the amounts expected to be incurred to plug, abandon, and remediate the producing properties at the end of their productive lives, in accordance with state laws, as well as the estimated costs associated with the reclamation of the property surrounding. The Company determines the asset retirement obligations by calculating the present value of estimated cash flows related to the liability. The asset retirement obligations are recorded as a liability at the estimated present value as of the asset's inception, with an offsetting increase to producing properties. Periodic accretion of the discount related to the estimated liability is recorded as an expense in the statement of operations. The estimated liability is determined using significant assumptions, including current estimates of plugging and abandonment costs, annual inflation of these costs, the productive lives of wells, and a risk-adjusted interest rate. Changes in any of these assumptions can result in significant revisions to the estimated asset retirement obligations. Revisions to the asset retirement obligations are recorded with an offsetting change to producing properties, resulting in prospective changes to depletion and depreciation expense and accretion of the discount. Because of the subjectivity of assumptions and the relatively long lives of most of the wells, the costs to ultimately retire the Company's wells may vary significantly from prior estimates. As of December 31, 2009, our asset retirement obligation was not significant.

Reserve Estimates

Our estimate of proved reserves is based on the quantities of oil and gas that geological and engineering data demonstrate, with reasonable certainty, to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions. The accuracy of any reserve estimate is a function of the quality of available data, engineering and geological interpretation and judgment. For example, we must estimate the amount and timing of future operating costs, severance taxes, development costs and workover costs, all of which may in fact vary considerably from actual results. In addition, as prices and cost levels change from year to year, the estimate of proved reserves also changes. Any significant variance in these assumptions could materially affect the estimated quantity and value of our reserves. As such, our reserve engineers review and revise our reserve estimates at least annually.

Despite the inherent imprecision in these engineering estimates, our reserves are used throughout our financial statements. For example, since we use the units-of-production method to amortize our oil and gas properties, the quantity of reserves could significantly impact our DD&A expense. Our oil and gas properties are also subject to a “ceiling” limitation based in part on the quantity of our proved reserves. Finally, these reserves are the basis for our supplemental oil and gas disclosures.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize oil and natural gas revenue under the sales method of accounting for our interests in producing wells as crude oil and natural gas is produced and sold from those wells. Crude oil and natural gas sold is not significantly different from our share of production. We recognize revenue upon transfer of ownership of the product to the customer which occurs when (i) the product is physically received by the customer, (ii) an invoice is generated which evidences an arrangement between the customer and us, (iii) a fixed sales price has been included in such invoice and (iv) collection from such customer is probable.

Income Taxes

We use the liability method for accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The realizability of deferred tax assets are evaluated annually and a valuation allowance is provided if it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not give rise to future benefits in our tax returns.

Our estimates are based on the information available to it at the time that we prepare the income tax provision. Income tax returns are subject to audit by federal, state, and local governments, generally years after the returns are filed. These returns could be subject to material adjustments or differing interpretations of the tax laws.

At Inception (August 17, 2007), we adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 740 “Income Taxes,” which is intended to clarify the accounting for income taxes prescribing a minimum recognition threshold for a tax provision before being recognized in the consolidated financial statements. Topic 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. As a result, we concluded we do not have any unrecognized tax benefits or any additional tax liabilities after applying Topic 740. The adoption of Topic 740 therefore had no impact on our consolidated financial statements. See Note 6 to the Company’s consolidated financial statement for further discussion.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

William Wiseman, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, in his capacity as principal executive officer, and Robert Teague, the Company’s Vice President, in his capacity as principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2009, the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation and as of the date of that evaluation, these officers concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective, providing effective means to ensure that the information we are required to disclose under applicable laws and regulations is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We also made no changes in internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ending December 31, 2009, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

We periodically review the design and effectiveness of our disclosure controls, including compliance with various laws and regulations that apply to our operations. We make modifications to improve the design and effectiveness of our disclosure controls and may take other corrective action, if our reviews identify deficiencies or weaknesses in our controls.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management of the Company is responsible for the preparation and integrity of the consolidated financial statements appearing in this annual report on Form 10-K. The financial statements were prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and include amounts that are based on management’s best estimates and judgments.

Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act). The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. Our internal control over financial reporting is supported by appropriate reviews by management, written policies and guidelines, careful selection and training of qualified personnel and a written code of business conduct adopted by our Company’s board of directors, applicable to all Company directors and all officers and employees of our Company and subsidiaries.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements and even when determined to be effective, can only provide reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

27


     Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control — Integrated Framework. Based on our assessment, management believes that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009.

This annual report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ending December 31, 2009, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Audit Committee

     We do not have an Audit Committee, as our Board of Directors during 2009 performed the same functions as an Audit Committee, such as: recommending a firm of independent certified public accountants to audit the annual financial statements; reviewing the independent auditors independence, the financial statements and their audit report; and reviewing management's administration of the system of internal accounting controls. We do not currently have a written audit committee charter or similar document.

Nominating Committee

We do not have a Nominating Committee or Nominating Committee Charter. Our Board of Directors performed some of the functions associated with a Nominating Committee. We have elected not to have a Nominating Committee at this time; however, our Board of Directors intends to continually evaluate the need for a Nominating Committee.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of the Company’s common stock, to file initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership with the SEC. Executive officers, directors and greater than ten percent beneficial owners are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based upon a review of the copies of such forms furnished to us and written representations from our executive officers and directors, we believe that during the years ended 2008 and 2009, the officers and directors filed all of their respective Section 16(a) reports on a timely basis except that Robert Teague, a Director and Vice President of Operations, and William Wiseman, the Chairman of the Board of Directors, Chief Executive Officer and President, failed to file Form 4s.

ITEM 13.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

During 2008 and 2007, the Company sublet its office space from a company majority owned by Mr. Wiseman and Mr. Teague, executive officers and directors of the Company. The sublease was on a month-to-month basis and total payments during the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 were $40,261 and $11,734, respectively.

In August 2008, the Company entered into four 12% Unsecured Promissory Notes, and Securities Purchase Agreements, with accredited investors for an aggregate principal amount of $500,000 (the "August 2008 Notes") and the issuance of 500,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. An entity controlled by the Company’s former Chief Financial Officer purchased $50,000 of the August 2008 Notes. The August 2008 Notes matured on September 28, 2008. In the event that the August 2008 Notes were not repaid by September 28, 2008, the Company became required to issue 500,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock every thirty days that any amounts remain outstanding under the August 2008 Notes (the “Additional Shares”).

In October 2008, and prior to the issuance of the either the 500,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock or the Additional Shares, the Company and the holders of the August 2008 Notes elected to amend the terms of the August 2008 Notes. In connection therewith, in exchange for the holders of the August 2008 Notes election to forego their right to receive the 500,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock and the Additional Shares, the Company agreed to issue the holders of the August 2008 Notes common stock purchase warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,000,000 common shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “August 2008 Warrants”). The

34


August 2008 Warrants are exercisable for a period of three years at a price of $0.50 per share. As the August 2008 Notes were not repaid by September 28, 2008, the Company is required to issue the holders of the August 2008 Notes an aggregate of 250,000 warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock every thirty days that any amounts remain outstanding under the August 2008 Notes (the “Additional Warrants”). The Additional Warrants shall be exercisable for a period of three years at a price equal to the greater of $0.50 or the market price as of the date of the issuance.

As of April 13, 2010, the Company had not repaid any of the amounts due under the August 2008 Notes. As noted above, pursuant to the terms of the August 2008 Notes, the Company is required to issue to the holders of the August 2008 Notes, a total of 250,000 warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock every 30 days that amounts remain outstanding under the August 2008 Notes. As a participant in the above transaction, the entity controlled by the Company’s former Chief Financial Officer has acquired warrants to acquire 575,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock.

ITEM 14.

PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES

On February 8, 2008 (the “RBSM Engagement Date”), the Company engaged RBSM LLP (“RBSM”) as its independent registered public accounting firm for the Company’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Bonanza Oil & Gas, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Bonanza Oil & Gas, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008. The Company’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated 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. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Bonanza Oil & Gas, Inc. and Subsidiaries at December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred losses since inception, has not attained profitable operations and is dependent upon obtaining adequate financing to fulfill its exploration activities. These factors raise substantial doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also discussed in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

ORGANIZATION AND HISTORY

Bonanza Oil & Gas, Inc. (the “Company”), a Nevada corporation formed on December 24, 2002, under the name National Filing Agents, Inc. ("NFA"), is an independent energy company that is engaged in the exploration, development and production of crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids in the United States. On December 18, 2006, NFA filed a registration statement on Form SB-2 to register the stock of its non-affiliated shareholders. The registration was declared effective on January 22, 2007.

On October 23, 2007, NFA acquired Plantation Working Interests, LLC ("PWI"), a privately-held Texas limited liability company organized on August 17, 2007, by entering into an Acquisition Agreement and Plan of Merger (collectively the "PWI Agreement") pursuant to which NFA acquired a 100% interest in PWI and other assets in exchange for 10,766,676 shares of NFA common stock. Immediately following the acquisition of PWI, two former affiliated shareholders of NFA, cancelled 6,180,000 unregistered shares of NFA common stock held by them. The acquisition of PWI was accounted for as a reverse merger and, therefore, the historical financial statements presented herein are those of PWI. Effective January 10, 2008, NFA changed its name to “Bonanza Oil & Gas, Inc.” from “National Filing Agents, Inc.” In addition, effective January 10, 2008, the Company’s quotation symbol on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board was changed from NFLA to BGOI and the Company implemented a forward split of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company, whereby every share of the Company’s Common Stock held was exchanged for 2.1 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. All share amounts reflected throughout this document reflect the January 2008 2.1 for 1 forward stock split, unless otherwise so indicated.

On January 20, 2010, the Company effected a 2 for 1 forward split of its outstanding common shares. All share amounts reflected throughout this document reflect the January 2010 2.0 for 1 forward stock split, unless otherwise so indicated.

Going Concern

The Company has incurred significant losses and had negative cash flow from operations since Inception (August 17, 2007), and has an accumulated deficit of $15,940,953 at December 31, 2009. Substantial portions of the losses are attributable to non-cash writedowns of oil and gas properties, with the balance attributable to primarily personnel costs, legal and professional fees, and financing costs. The Company's operating plans require additional funds that may take the form of debt or equity financings. There can be no assurance that any additional funds will be available. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is in substantial doubt and is dependent upon achieving a profitable level of operations and obtaining additional financing.

The Company has undertaken steps as part of a plan to improve operations with the goal of sustaining its operations for the next twelve months and beyond. These steps include a) raising additional capital and/or obtaining financing, if available, (b) converting debt and accounts payable into common shares (c) increasing our current production (d) continuing development drilling or farming out our interest in our proved, undeveloped properties and (e) controlling overhead and expenses.

There can be no assurance that the Company will successfully accomplish these steps and it is uncertain if it will achieve a profitable level of operations and/or obtain additional financing. There can be no assurance that any additional financings will be available to the Company on satisfactory terms and conditions, if at all. In the event the Company is unable to continue as a going concern, it may elect or be required to seek protection from its creditors by filing a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or may be subject to an involuntary petition in bankruptcy. To date, management has not considered this alternative, nor does management view it as a likely occurrence.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Accounting policies used by the Company and its subsidiaries reflect industry practices and conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). Certain reclassifications have been made to prior periods to conform with the current presentations. Significant policies are discussed below.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries after elimination of intercompany balances and transactions. The Company’s interest in oil and gas exploration and production ventures and partnerships are proportionately consolidated.

Use of Estimates

Preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions on a regular basis. Actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions used in preparation of its financial statements and changes in these estimates are recorded when known. Significant estimates with regard to these financial statements include the estimate of proved oil and gas reserves and related present value estimates of future net cash flows there from (See Note 9 — Supplemental Oil and Gas Disclosures (Unaudited)), asset retirement obligations, income taxes and contingency obligations including legal and environmental risks and exposures.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less at time of purchase to be cash equivalents. These investments are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company had $9,892 and $3,881 of cash and cash equivalents, respectively.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company routinely assesses the recoverability of all material receivables to determine their collectability. All of the Company's receivables are from the operators of properties in which the Company has an interest. Generally, the Company's crude oil and natural gas receivables are collected within two months. The Company accrues a reserve on a receivable when, based on the judgment of management, it is probable that a receivable will not be collected and the amount of any reserve may be reasonably estimated. As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company had no amount recorded as an allowance for doubtful accounts.

Oil and Gas Property

The Company uses the full-cost method of accounting for its exploration and development activities. Under this method of accounting, the cost of both successful and unsuccessful exploration and development activities are capitalized as property and equipment. The Company has not incurred any internal costs that are directly related to exploration and development activities, including salaries and benefits, which could be capitalized as part of property and equipment. Proceeds from the sale or disposition of oil and gas properties are accounted for as a reduction to capitalized costs unless a significant portion (greater than 25 percent) of the Company’s reserve quantities in a particular country are sold, in which case a gain or loss is recognized.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The guidance in FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC, also known collectively as the Codification) Topic 805, “Business Combinations” broadens the definition of a business combination to include all transactions or other events in which control of one or more businesses is obtained. Further, the guidance establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any noncontrolling interests in the acquiree and the goodwill acquired. The guidance requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize the fair value of all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction. It also modifies disclosure requirements. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2009. However, since the Company did not close any business combinations during the year ended 2009, the adoption had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Costs Excluded

Oil and gas unevaluated properties include costs that are excluded from costs being depreciated or amortized. These costs represent investments in unproved properties and major development projects in which the Company owns a direct interest. The Company excludes these costs until proved reserves are found, until it is determined that the costs are impaired, or major development projects are placed in service. All costs excluded are reviewed at least quarterly to determine if impairment has occurred.

Ceiling Test

Under the full-cost method of accounting, the Company applies a ceiling test, on a quarterly basis, to the capitalized cost in the full cost pool. The Company computes the ceiling test so that capitalized cost, less accumulated depletion and related deferred income tax, do not exceed an amount (the ceiling) equal to the sum of: (A) The present value, using a ten percent discount rate, of estimated future net revenue, less estimated future expenditures (based on current cost) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved reserves computed using a discount factor of ten percent and assuming continuation of existing economic conditions; plus (B) the cost of unevaluated properties and major development projects excluded from the costs being amortized; plus (C) the lower of cost or estimated fair value of unproven properties included in the costs being amortized; less (D) income tax effects related to differences between the book and tax basis of the property. If capitalized costs exceed this limit, the excess is charged to expense and reflected as additional DD&A.

In January 2009, the SEC issued Release No. 33-8995, “Modernization of Oil and Gas Reporting” (Release 33-8995), amending oil and gas reporting requirements under Rule 4-10 of Regulation S-X and Industry Guide 2 in Regulation S-K and bringing full-cost accounting rules into alignment with the revised disclosure requirements. In January 2010, the FASB amended ASC Topic 932, “Extractive Industries — Oil and Gas” (ASC Topic 932) to align the guidance with the changes made by the SEC. The Company adopted Release 33-8995 and the amendments to ASC Topic 932 (collectively, the Modernization Rules) effective December 31, 2009.

The estimated future net revenue, under the Modernization Rules, is derived based upon an unweighted arithmetic average of commodity prices in effect on the first day of each month in 2009, held flat for the life of the production, except where prices are defined by contractual arrangements. Prior to adoption of the Modernization Rules, effective in the fourth quarter of 2009, estimated future net revenue was calculated using commodity prices in effect at the end of each quarter. See Note 9— Supplemental Oil and Gas Disclosures (Unaudited) for a discussion of the calculation of estimated future net cash flows.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As a result of the Company’s year-end ceiling test calculations, using the then existing full-cost accounting rules, the Company recorded non-cash write-downs of the carrying value of its proved oil and gas properties of $6,485,455 and $3,920,764 as of December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively, which is reflected as additional DD&A expense in the accompanying statement of consolidated operations.

Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization

DD&A of oil and gas properties is calculated quarterly, using the Units of Production Method (UOP). The UOP calculation, in simplest terms, multiplies the percentage of estimated proved reserves produced each quarter times the costs of those reserves. The result is to recognize expense at the same pace that the reservoirs are actually depleting. The amortization base in the UOP calculation includes the sum of proved property costs net of accumulated DD&A, estimated future development costs (future costs to access and develop reserves) and asset retirement costs which are not already included in oil and gas property, less related salvage value.

Asset Retirement Obligation

The initial estimated retirement obligation of properties is recognized as a liability, with an associated increase in properties and equipment for the asset retirement cost. Accretion expense is recognized over the estimated productive life of the related assets. If the fair value of the estimated asset retirement obligation changes, an adjustment is recorded to both the asset retirement obligation and the asset retirement cost. Revisions in estimated liabilities can result from revisions of estimated inflation rates, changes in service and equipment costs and changes in the estimated timing of settling asset retirement obligations. As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company’s estimated asset retirement obligation was not significant.

Capitalized Interest

Interest is capitalized on oil and gas investments in unproved properties and exploration and development activities that are in progress qualify for capitalized interest. Capitalized interest is calculated by multiplying the Company’s weighted-average interest rate on debt by the amount of qualifying costs. Capitalized interest cannot exceed gross interest expense. As oil and gas costs excluded are transferred to unproved properties, any associated capitalized interest is also transferred. Capitalized interest totaled $458,353 and $208,690 during the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Commitments and Contingencies

Accruals for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, environmental and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. These accruals are adjusted as additional information becomes available or circumstances change.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes oil and natural gas revenue under the sales method of accounting for its interests in producing wells as crude oil and natural gas is produced and sold from those wells. Crude oil and natural gas sold by the Company is not significantly different from the Company’s share of production. The Company recognizes revenue upon transfer of ownership of the product to the customer which occurs when (i) the product is physically received by the customer, (ii) an invoice is generated which evidences an arrangement between the customer and the Company, (iii) a fixed sales price has been included in such invoice and (iv) collection from such customer is reasonably assured.

Income Taxes

The Company records deferred tax assets and liabilities to account for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recorded in its financial statements. The Company routinely assesses the realizability of its deferred tax assets. If the Company concludes that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized under accounting standards, the tax asset is reduced by a valuation allowance. Numerous judgments and assumptions are inherent in the determination of future taxable income, including factors such as future operating conditions (particularly as related to prevailing oil and gas prices).

Earnings Per Share

The Company’s basic earnings per share (EPS) amounts have been computed based on the weighted-average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution, using the treasury stock method, which could occur if the Company’s dilutive securities (namely outstanding warrants to acquire shares of the Company’s Common Stock) were exercised. As the Company realized a net loss for both the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, no potentially dilutive securities were included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share as their impact would have been anti-dilutive.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under the fair value recognition provisions of ASC Topic 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation.” The Company has not granted any type of stock-based awards. Stock compensation awards granted are valued on the date of grant and are expensed, net of estimated forfeitures, on a straight-line basis over the required service period.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

All new accounting pronouncements previously issued have been adopted as of or prior to December 31, 2009

ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS OF OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES

During September 2007, the Company obtained a 22.5% pre-payout (15% post- payout) working interest in eight oil and gas wells in Gonzales County, Texas. The Company paid a total of $750,000 to acquire the wells. The Company was to receive 15.75% of the net revenues from the wells until it had recovered its $750,000 cost at which time the net revenue interest was to drop to 10.5% of net revenues. The Company believes that the pre-acquisition results of operations for the wells acquired would be immaterial, as adjusted on a pro-forma basis. These eight wells secured the Company’s obligations under the December 2007 Note (See Note 4). As the Company was unable to repay the December 2007 Note at maturity, the lender foreclosed on the eight wells in satisfaction of all amounts due.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In October 2007, the Company purchased a 25% interest in approximately 6,700 acres in Apclark Field in southwestern Borden County, Texas for a total of 12,600,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock. The Company recorded the acreage as part of Oil and Gas Property and Equipment – Unproved Properties and Properties Under Development based on the fair value of the Company’s common shares at that time, $1,890,000. The Company believes that the pre-acquisition results of operations for the acreage acquired would be immaterial, as adjusted on a pro-forma basis.

On July 18, 2008, the Company, Borland Good North Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Borland”), Black Pearl Energy, Inc. (“Black Pearl”), and the shareholders holding a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Black Pearl, (collectively the “Black Pearl Majority Shareholders), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), which closed on July 18, 2008. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Black Pearl merged with and into Borland, which became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). In consideration for the Merger, the Company issued an aggregate of 14,049,330 shares (the “Black Pearl Acquisition Shares”) of the Company’s Common Stock to the Black Pearl Majority Shareholders and the other shareholders of Black Pearl at the closing of the merger. Prior to the Merger Agreement, Black Pearl owned 5,418,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, which were cancelled in conjunction with the Merger.

Black Pearl was an exploration and development company located in Midland, Texas. On July 14, 2008, Black Pearl acquired options to purchase an undivided 75% working interest in two drilling projects for total consideration of $500,000. Concurrently with executing these options, Black Pearl entered into a note agreement with the Company for $500,000. The note bore interest at 8% per year with a maturity date of November 14, 2008, or the date at which a letter of intent to merge the Company expired. The note was cancelled in conjunction with the Merger.

The Company allocated the total consideration of $5,552,036 to Oil and Gas Property and Equipment – Unproved Properties, based on the closing price per share of the Company’s Common Stock on July 18, 2008, of $0.585, and the $500,000 cancelled note receivable discussed above. The operations of Black Pearl were combined with the Company as of July 18, 2008.

Subsequent to acquisition closing, the Company made additional payments totaling $900,000 to satisfy the acquisition of two projects, in accordance with the purchase and sale agreement. In addition, as of December 31, 2008, the Company had an obligation of $1,100,000 accrued as part of the Company’s accrued exploration and development expenditures, which related to broker fees due in consideration of the acquisition of these two projects. Finally, in October 2008, the Company sold 10% of the interest it acquired in one of the projects for $115,000.

The Company believes that the pre-acquisition results of operations for Black Pearl would be immaterial, as adjusted on a pro-forma basis.

As a result of the Company’s ongoing financial difficulties, the Company forfeited its right to develop the two projects acquired in the Merger and was required to include the capitalized cost incurred in securing those assets in its amortization base. The Company was able to secure a release of the $1,100,000 accrued broker fees as a result of forfeiting its ownership. As a result, the Company was required to record an additional $6,485,455 non-cash write-down of the carrying value of its proved oil and gas properties at December 31, 2009.

December 2007 Note

In December 2007, the Company entered into a 14% Senior Asset Backed Secured Promissory Note and Security Agreement, and a Securities Purchase Agreement, with Phoenix Capital Opportunity Fund, L.P. ("Phoenix") in principal amount of $250,000 (the "December 2007 Note) and the issuance of 149,998 shares of Common Stock of the Company. The December 2007 Note matured on December 17, 2008, and interest was payable on a quarterly basis. The Company's obligations under the December 2007 Note were secured by the Company’s interest in eight oil and gas wells located in Gonzales County, Texas. The shares issued in conjunction with the December 2007 Note were valued at $22,500, based on the price of the Company’s Common Stock issued in its then most recent private placement offering, and was recorded as a discount to the December 2007 Note and additional paid-in capital. The Company also incurred $12,500 in issue costs which it recorded as deferred financing costs as a component of prepaid and other current expenses. The discount and deferred financing costs were amortized using the effective interest rate method over the term of the indebtedness. The Company had an unamortized discount of $22,089, and deferred financing costs of $12,021, at December 31, 2007, on the December 2007 Note. These balances were fully amortized as of December 31, 2008. The Company made no interest payments on the December 2007 Note during 2009 and paid $26,370 in interest on the December 2007 Note during the year ended December 31, 2008.

At December 31, 2008, the Company was in default with respect to the repayment obligation upon maturity on December 17, 2008, with respect to the December 2007 Note. Pursuant to the terms of the December 2007 Note, the interest rate on all amounts outstanding increased to 24% per annum, effective December 17, 2008. On February 6, 2009, the Company made a partial payment of $125,000 toward satisfaction of this obligation. On June 30, 2009, Phoenix filed suit against the Company seeking repayment of the principal balance outstanding plus all accrued interest, along with their attorney fees and court costs. In October 2009, the Company reached a settlement agreement, whereby for a complete release and satisfaction of the unpaid principal and accrued interest the lender foreclosed on the eight oil and gas wells securing this obligation.

The January 2008 Notes matured on January 31, 2009, with interest payable on a monthly basis. The Company's obligations under the January 2008 Notes are secured by the Company’s interest in three prospect areas located in Borden, Hidalgo and Brazoria counties of Texas. The shares issued in conjunction with the January 2008 Notes were valued at $120,000, based on the market price of the Company’s Common Stock at the time of issuance, and was recorded as a discount to the January 2008 Notes and additional paid-in capital. This discount was amortized using the effective interest rate method over the term of the indebtedness. These balances were fully amortized as of December 31, 2009. Under the terms of the January 2008 Notes, as a result of their non-repayment as of July 31,2009, the Company was obligated to issue an additional 300,000 shares of its Common Stock as an additional interest payment. The Company issued the additional 300,000 shares of its Common Stock in August 2009.

The Company is in default with respect to the repayment obligation upon maturity which occurred on January 31, 2009. Pursuant to the terms of the January 2008 Notes, upon becoming in default, the interest rate on all amounts outstanding increased to 24% per annum. The Company made no interest payments on the January 2008 Notes during 2009 and paid $92,726 in interest on the January 2008 Notes during the year ended December 31, 2008. As of December 31, 2009, the Company had total accrued and unpaid interest of $204,428 on the January 2008 Notes.

On December 2, 2009, the Company entered a Letter Agreement with the holder of $750,000 principal amount of the January 2008 Notes whereby, in order to induce the holder to convert the notes into shares of the Company’s common stock and, in turn, to reduce the Company’s debt and avoid potentially filing for bankruptcy, the terms with respect to $750,000 of principal of January 2008 Notes held by holder were amended providing that the holder may from time to time convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid principal amount of their January 2008 Notes into shares of the Company’s common stock, at the holder's option, at the lesser of (i) $0.0025 or (ii) a 50% discount to the average of the three lowest trading prices of the common stock during the 20 trading day period prior to conversion (the “Variable Conversion Price”). On January 29, 2010, the Company entered into a Letter Agreement with the holder removing the holder’s ability to convert at the Variable Conversion Price. During December 2009, the holder converted $75,200 of principal due into 30,080,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The Company recognized a loss of $347,720 on conversion as a result of the difference between the conversion price and the fair market value of the Company’s common shares, as determined by the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board on the day prior to the conversion.

As of December 31, 2009, the Company had not cured its default with respect to any of the January 2008 Notes; however, the lenders have not yet taken any further action with respect to the default. Although the Company is actively seeking additional financing to remedy this default, continuing to convert principal and accrued interest into shares of its Common Stock and are in constant communication with the lender, there can be no assurances that the lenders will continue to delay the enforcement of their remedies under the January 2008 Notes.

May 2008 Convertible Note

The May 2008 Convertible Note matured on May 14, 2009, and interest is payable on a quarterly basis. The May 2008 Convertible Note is unsecured, however, in the event that the Company grants a secured interest in its assets in connection with any future financing, then the holder of the May 2008 Convertible Note will be entitled to a pari passu interest in such secured interest. The May 2008 Convertible Note was convertible into the Company’s Common Stock, at a conversion price of $0.1871 per common share, as adjusted, and is subject to normal and customary anti-dilution provisions. The Company may require that the holder of the May 2008 Convertible Note convert all or a portion of the May 2008 Convertible Note in the event that the Company’s closing market price for any 10 consecutive trading days exceeds 300% of the then conversion price. However, in no event can the holder of the May 2008 Convertible Note convert the May 2008 Convertible Note into such shares which would provide for the holder to own more than 4.9% of the then outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock, including the shares for which the holder is entitled upon exercise of the Series A May Warrant and Series B May Warrant.

Commencing June 30, 2008, through August 8, 2008, the Company, entered into and closed a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "June 2008 Purchase Agreement") with several accredited investors (the “June 2008 Investors”) providing for the sale by the Company to the June 2008 Investors of 4,124,998 units with each unit consisting of two share of the Company’s Common Stock, a warrant to purchase one share of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per common share (the “Series A June Warrant”) and a warrant to purchase one share of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per common share (the “Series B June Warrant”). The per unit purchase price for the units was $0.30 resulting in gross proceeds of $2,474,999 to the Company and the issuance of 8,249,996 shares of Common Stock, Series A June Warrants to purchase 4,124,998 shares of the Company’s Common Stock and Series B June Warrants to purchase 4,124,998 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The Company incurred transaction costs totaling $286,506 in the issuance of the units, thereby realizing $2,188,493 in net proceeds. The Company also issued 412,498 Series A June Warrants and 412,498 Series B June Warrants to its investment banking firm as additional compensation.

The Series A June Warrants are exercisable for a period of two years at an exercise price of $0.50 per share. The Series B June Warrants are exercisable for a period of two years and had an original exercise price of $1.00 per share. In the event that the Company issues securities at a per share price less than the exercise price, then the exercise price associated with the Series A June Warrants and Series B June Warrants shall be adjusted to equal such price. Further, if the Company issues securities at a price less than $0.30, then the June 2008 Investors will be entitled to receive additional shares of Common Stock to reflect the issuance of the additional shares (together, these two provisions are known as the “Anti-Dilution Provision”). As a result of the Company entering into the August 2008 Notes and agreeing to issue the August 2008 Warrants with an exercise price of $0.50 per share, the exercise price of the Series B June Warrants was reduced to $0.50 per share as well. During 2009, in connection with the Company obtaining a permanent waiver of the Anti-Dilution Provision, the Company was required to reduce the exercise price of the Series A June Warrant and Series B June Warrant for one of the investors from $0.50 to $0.0005, as well as issue to the investor a warrant to acquire 12,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.0005 per common share (the “Series C June Warrant”). The Series C June Warrant is exercisable until November 30, 2012.

During 2008, the Company issued an aggregate of 2,950,000 common shares for consulting and legal services. The Company recognized expenses totaling $568,500 based on the fair value of the Company’s Common Stock at date of issuance.

On February 6, 2009, the Company issued 1,000,000 restricted shares of Common Stock to its former Chief Financial Officer pursuant to the terms of an Executive Employment Agreement entered into as of February 6, 2009, between the Company and its former Chief Financial Officer. The value of the 1,000,000 common shares was determined to be $65,000, based on the market price of the Company’s Common Stock at the time of issuance, and was recorded as stock compensation expense, common stock and additional paid-in capital.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect the net tax effect of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and amounts used for income tax purposes. As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $15.0 million and $4.9 million, respectively, which expire at various dates through 2029. The tax benefits of carryforwards are recorded as assets to the extent that management assesses the utilization of such carryforwards to be “more likely than not.” When the future utilization of some portion of the carryforwards is determined not to be “more likely than not,” a valuation allowance is provided to reduce the recorded tax benefits from such assets. At this time, based on current facts and circumstances, potential benefit of the deferred tax assets has not been recognized in the consolidated financial statements because the Company cannot be assured it is more likely than not it will utilize the deferred tax assets in future years. The Company had no uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2009.

Oil and Gas Reserve Information

The estimate of reserves disclosed in this Annual Report on Form 10-K were based on estimates made by Joe C. Neal & Associates, (“Neal”) independent petroleum engineers. Neal was engaged by and provided their report to the Company’s senior management team. The Company makes representations to the independent engineers that it provided all relevant operating data and documents, and in turn, the Company reviews the reserve reports provided by the independent engineers to ensure completeness and accuracy. Management cautions that there are many inherent uncertainties in estimating proved reserve quantities and related revenues and expenses, and in projecting future production rates and the timing and amount of development expenditures. Accordingly, these estimates will change, as future information becomes available. All of the Company’s oil and gas reserves are located in the United States.

As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, on a barrel of equivalent basis 70% and 0% percent of our estimated reserves, respectively, were classified as proved undeveloped. These reserves relate to zones that are either behind pipe, or that have been completed but not yet produced, or zones that have been produced in the past, but are not now producing because of mechanical reasons. These reserves are considered to be a lower tier of reserves than producing reserves because they are frequently based on volumetric calculations rather than performance data. Future production associated with behind pipe reserves is scheduled to follow depletion of the currently producing zones in the same wellbores. It should be noted that additional capital may have to be spent to access these reserves. The revisions in our estimates of crude oil and natural gas reserves by 499,352 bbl and 606,836 mcf for the year ended December 31, 2008, principally related to the proved undeveloped reserves of our Apclark Field no longer being economic based on year-end December 31, 2008 prices of $42.00 per bbl of crude oil and $4.90 per mcf of natural gas, as compared to year-end December 31, 2007 prices of $85.00 per bbl of crude oil and $7.00 per mcf of natural gas. The revisions in our estimates of crude oil and natural gas reserves by 20,364 bbl and 35,550 mcf for the year ended December 31, 2009, principally related to the proved undeveloped reserves of our Apclark Field becoming economic based average prices for 2009 of $57.02 per bbl of crude oil and $5.00 per mcf of natural gas. The capital and economic impact of production timing are reflected in this Note 9, under “Future Net Cash Flows.”

Future Net Cash Flows

Future cash inflows as of December 31, 2009, were calculated using an average of oil and gas prices in effect on the first day of each month in 2009, except where prices are defined by contractual arrangements. Future cash inflows as of December 31, 2008 were estimated using oil and gas prices in effect at the end of that year, in accordance with SEC guidance in effect prior to the issuance of the Modernization Rules. Operating costs, production and ad valorem taxes and future development costs are based on current costs with no escalation.
