Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement


As used in this Current Report on Form 8-K, all references to the “Company”, “Radiant”, “we”, “our”, and “us” or similar terms refer to Radiant Oil & Gas, Inc., including its predecessors and subsidiaries. Information about the Company and the principal terms of the Reorganization are set forth below.


On July 23, 2010, the Company entered into an exchange agreement (that was amended effective July 31, 2010, the “Reorganization Agreement”) with Jurasin Oil & Gas, Inc., a Louisiana corporation (“JOG”), John M. Jurasin, the majority shareholder of JOG (the “Majority Shareholder”), and certain other shareholders of JOG (collectively with the Majority Shareholder, the “JOG Shareholders”), pursuant to which we acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of JOG common stock held by the JOG Shareholders in consideration for the issuance of up to 6,000,000 shares of our common stock (the “Reorganization”). As a result of the Reorganization, JOG became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The transaction was accounted for as a reverse merger and recapitalization of Radiant (the legal acquirer), with JOG considered the accounting acquirer. There was no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded in connection with the acquisition.


The description of the transactions contemplated by the Reorganization Agreement and related agreements in this Form 8-K does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the exhibits filed herewith and incorporated herein by reference.


Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets


Reorganization


As described in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, on July 23, 2010, the Company entered into a Reorganization Agreement by and among the Company, JOG, and the JOG Shareholders pursuant to which we agreed to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of JOG common stock held by the JOG Shareholders. At the closing of the Reorganization on August 5, 2010 (the “Closing”), at which time JOG became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, we issued 5,000,000 shares of our common stock to the JOG Shareholders and up to an additional 1,000,000 shares upon satisfaction of certain vesting requirements as follows:

----------------------

(1) Upon the satisfaction of any four of the following conditions, Radiant shall issue to the JOG Shareholders, on a pro-rata basis, an aggregate of 250,000 shares (not to exceed 1,000,000 shares) for each condition satisfied:


·

Garnet – Nominate the southern (St. Mary Parish School Board) acreage for lease

·

Coral – Permit well

·

Amber – Re-acquire State seismic permit covering open acreage in Bayou Teche, Grand Lake and Attakapas Wildlife Management Areas

·

Amber – Re-acquire seismic permit on 1,000 net acres

·

Amber – Re-acquire seismic permit on additional 1,000 net acres

·

Amber – Extend Apache Seismic Permit and Sub-Lease from September 2010

·

Amber – Execute Seismic Services Contract for shooting of 3-D survey


At the Closing of the Reorganization, the Company also issued a promissory note in favor of the Majority Shareholder in the original principal amount of $884,000, which accrues interest at the rate of 4% per annum and matures upon the earlier of (i) May 31, 2013 or (ii) the date on which the Company closes any equity financing in which the Company receives gross proceeds of at least $10,000,000. Also in connection with the Reorganization, an additional $165,000, which has no formal repayment terms, is also due to the Majority Shareholder. The note and payable were treated as a deemed dividend to the Majority Shareholder.



Page 4 of 45



In July 2010, the Company agreed to issue 543,205 shares of Company common stock to an investor relations consultant for services to be rendered upon completion of the Reorganization. In August 2010, the Company agreed to issue 3,000,000 shares of Company common stock to John Thomas Financial “JTF” in consideration for entering into an investment banking agreement. JTF has agreed to return to the Company 2,000,000 of these shares if, during the period commencing on August 2, 2010 and ending 12 months after the date a registration statement covering the resale of the Company’s equity or equity equivalent securities is declared effective by the SEC, JTF does not raise an aggregate of at least $10,000,000 (in this Offering and in subsequent offerings of the Company’s securities). Concurrent with the Closing of the Reorganization, the Company issued 50,000 shares of Company common stock to Brian Rodriguez pursuant to his director’s agreement.


The securities of the Company issued above were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (“Securities Act”), and all shares issued in connection therewith were issued in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) under the Securities Act for transactions not involving any public offering. All such securities constitute “restricted securities” as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”), and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements. Certificates representing these securities contain a restrictive legend stating the same.


General Changes Resulting from the Reorganization


We intend to carry on the business of JOG and we have retained all of JOG’s management. We will also relocate our executive offices to 9700 Richmond Avenue, Suite 124, Houston, Texas 77042, and our new phone number is (832) 242-6000.


Changes to the Board of Directors and Executive Officers


Immediately following the completion of the Reorganization, the size of our board of directors was increased from two to four members, and John M. Jurasin and Robert M. Gray were appointed as directors. The Majority Shareholder has the right to nominate and appoint one additional director, provided that a majority of the existing board members approve. All of the Company’s directors will hold office until the next annual meeting of the stockholders or until the election and qualification of their successors. Brian Rodriguez resigned as chief executive officer and Mr. Jurasin was appointed chief executive officer, chief financial officer and chairman of the board. Additional executive officers have entered into employment agreements with the Company as further described in “-Management and Executive Compensation – Employment Agreements.” The Company’s officers are elected by the board of directors and serve at the discretion of the board of directors.


Accounting Treatment


While Radiant is the surviving corporation (and JOG is the wholly owned subsidiary) for legal purposes, JOG is deemed to be the acquirer in the Reorganization for accounting purposes and, consequently, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations that are reflected in the financial statements are those of JOG and will be recorded at the historical cost basis of JOG. As a result of the Reorganization, there was a change in control of the Company. The Company will continue to be a “smaller reporting company” as defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), following the Reorganization.


We consolidate all investments in which we have exclusive control. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of JOG and its wholly owned subsidiary, Rampant Lion Energy, LLC (“RLE”), and Jurasin Oil and Gas Operating Company (“JOGop”), a company under common control. In accordance with established practice in the oil and gas industry, our financial statements include our pro-rata share of assets, liabilities, income and lease operating and general and administrative costs and expenses of a limited liability company, AE in which we have an interest. We own a 51% interest in AE as of June 30, 2010 and as of September 10, 2010. 


Credit Facility


Concurrent with the Closing of the Reorganization, JOG and the Company entered into modifications with respect to certain credit facilities, being the AE Credit Facility and RLE Credit Facility, collectively with the AE Credit Facility, referred to as “Credit Facility”) with Macquarie Bank Ltd. (“MBL”). The material modifications to the Credit Facility are as follows:


·

The maturity date of the AE Credit Facility has been extended to March 20, 2011, to correspond to the maturity date of the RLE Credit Facility;



Page 5 of 45



·

MBL agreed to convert $1,000,000 of the Credit Facility into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $4.00 per share (subject to downward adjustment depending upon pricing of subsequent Company equity financings) in increments of $500,000 corresponding to principal reductions made by the Company in and after July 2010, provided that upon each such conversion there is (i) no event of default in the Credit Facility and (ii) $500,000 and $1,000,000, respectively, of aggregate mandatory principal payments on the Credit Facility have been paid, of which $100,000 has been paid to date (“Debt Conversion”);


·

MBL agreed to reconvey to JOG all interests in real property and membership interests conveyed to MBL’s affiliate Macquarie Americas Corp (“MAC”) in connection with the AE Credit Facility, provided that all obligations under the AE Credit Facility, RLE Credit Facility, and all letters of credit shall have been paid or refinanced prior to March 15, 2011;


·

The Company agreed to make mandatory interest and principal reduction payments to MBL on the Credit Facility on each of August 20, 2010 and September 20, 2010 in the amount of $100,000 and on each of October 20, 2010, November 20, 2010, December 20, 2010, January 20, 2011 and February 20, 2011, in the amount of $250,000. The Company shall also pay to MBL an amount equal to 1/6th of the gross proceeds raised by the Company through the subsequent equity raised, which amounts shall be credited against the monthly mandatory principal reduction payments; and


·

The Company agreed to guarantee $500,000 of the Credit Facility indebtedness owed by JOG to MBL.


·

We cross-collateralized the AE Credit Facility and the RLE Credit Facility and each subsidiary guaranteed the obligations under the Credit Facility.


The principal amount and accrued interest owed by RLE and AE, on a stand-alone basis, pursuant to the Credit Facility as of August 31, 2010 is approximately $5.4 million. As discussed in “Item 2-01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposal of Assets – Accounting Treatment”, our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of RLE and our pro-rata share of assets, liabilities, income and costs and expenses of AE. The principal amount and accrued interest of our Credit Facility as presented in our consolidated financial statements of June 30, 2010 is approximately $4.0 million and as of August 31, 2010 is approximately $3.3 million.


Listing


The Company’s common stock is quoted on the OTCBB, under the symbol “ROGI”. The Company’s common stock is subject to provisions of Section 15(g) and Rule 15g-9 of the Exchange Act, commonly referred to as the “penny stock rule.” Section 15(g) sets forth certain requirements for transactions in penny stocks, and Rule 15g-9(d) incorporates the definition of “penny stock” that is found in Rule 3a51-1 of the Exchange Act. The SEC generally defines “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. As long as the Company’s common stock is deemed to be a penny stock, trading in the shares will be subject to additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell penny stocks to persons other than established customers and accredited investors.


Tax Treatment


The Reorganization is intended to constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), or such other tax free reorganization exemptions that may be available under the Code.



DESCRIPTION OF OUR BUSINESS


We intend to engage in the exploration for and production of natural gas and oil through the development of repeatable, low geological risk, infill exploitation of existing proven fields in South Louisiana, the Gulf Coast of Texas, the state waters of Louisiana and Texas, and the federal waters offshore Texas and Louisiana.


We have contracts for gross acres permitted, leased, optioned, farmed-in or under negotiation totaling 44,338 acres. With the exception of an offshore block east of Corpus Christi, Texas in approximately 140 feet of water, all other projects are located in South Louisiana either directly on land or in water depths not exceeding 10 feet.

[radiant8ka092310001.jpg]


Amber Energy LLC “AE”


Radiant owns 51% membership interest in AE. AE has certain interests in 2 different project areas that are contiguous, the Ensminger Replacement Well Project and the Amber Project.


Amber Project. AE currently has a Seismic Permit Agreement, dated April 18, 2008, which was granted by Apache Corporation to complete a 3-D survey. The Seismic Permit Agreement expires on September 1, 2011. AE also owns interests in seismic permits and seismic permits with options to lease on additional acreage in the project area. AE has an Exploration Agreement, dated October 6, 2008, with Energy XXI Onshore, LLC, which provides that AE and Energy XXI Onshore, LLC will each have a 50% working interest if this project is developed. AE will manage and operate the land and lease functions as well as the actual shooting of the seismic. AE will also lead the interpretation of the resultant seismic data and generation of prospects within the project. Energy XXI Onshore, LLC will operate the drilling and production of all wells in which it participates.


While at one time AE held additional permits and permits with options to lease in this area, due to financial difficulty, these permits expired before the seismic could be shot. The Company’s plan is to renew the additional permits, commence the seismic shoot and acquire additional leaseholds; provided that at least $4,000,000 can be raised to fund this project. We believe that the Amber Project holds significant oil and gas potential on and near several salt domes onshore St. Mary Parish, South Louisiana. Within and around the total acreage, we believe there are low risk oil and gas objectives from 5,000’ to 14,000’ as well as riskier deep gas potential to 18,000’.


Several regional 3-D seismic programs were shot several years ago that acquired data in and around the project area. The plan is to augment the existing 3-D coverage by shooting the gaps between the existing programs to get a full fold and coverage over the objective area that has not been 3-D’ed. This area will require land rig locations to fully develop.


In connection with the Seismic Permit Agreement with Apache Corporation, we entered into an Exploration Agreement with Apache Corporation which is subject to a pending lawsuit regarding non-producing deep rights of some of the various underlying leases. While the litigation is in the early stages, the Company does not believe that this litigation will have a material impact on the Company or its operations.

2010 Plan:

Fund on a best efforts basis; shoot 3-D; evaluate 3-D and integrate with ongoing sub-surface geologic interpretation.

2011 Plan:

Continue Geologic & Geophysical interpretation; drill up to 5 wells provided that sufficient funds are available


Ensminger Replacement Well Project. The Ensminger Replacement Well Project covers 634 acres, in which AE holds a 12.5% working interest before pay out and a 15% working interest after pay out. Energy XXI Onshore, LLC is the operator for this project. AE is not responsible for funding the drilling and completion of the initial well in connection with this project. The Ensminger #2 Well was drilled to a Total Vertical depth of 15,101’. The operator was unable to log the lowest portion of the well and the participants are using 3-D seismic to determine in which direction a contemplated side-tracking of the well should be pursued. For safety reasons, the well has been temporarily abandoned during this evaluation period. The Company believes that the side-tracking will be considered a part of the original well drilling and, as such, will not be responsible for any associated costs. AE will be responsible for its proportionate share of the drilling and completion costs of any additional wells on this project.


The Ensminger Replacement Well Project is located onshore in sugar cane fields in St. Mary Parish, Louisiana. The drilling of the Ensminger #2 replacement well to the Ensminger #1 well is being operated by Energy XXI Onshore, LLC. The Ensminger # 1 well was drilled in 2004 in partnership with Exxon Mobil Corp. and Century Exploration New Orleans, Inc. and it is estimated that it discovered a potentially 70 BCF and associated high yield condensate depletion-drive field from the Planulina Pay Sands at approximately 15,000’ Total Vertical Depth.


The Ensminger #1 well produced from the lower Planulina 69 Sand at a maximum productive rate of 10.4 million cubic feet of gas per day (“MMCF/D”) and 205 barrels of oil per day (“BO/D”), with what we estimate to be cumulative production of over 3.25 BCF and 49 MBO (thousands barrels of oil) from only 6 feet of pay; the thinnest of the three pay sands. The operator shut in production while the well was still producing at a rate of 2 MMCF/D and 11 BO/D with no formation water. The plan was to abandon the 69 Sand and re-complete in the 68 Sand with an expected production rate of 18 MMCF/D. During the recompletion, the operator lost tools in the hole, and subsequent failed fishing operations resulted in damage to the casing; making further use of the well bore unfeasible. In connection with the assignment of interest from ExxonMobil Corp, and Century Exploration New Orleans, Inc., AE assumed the obligation to plug the Ensminger #1 well, which includes providing a bond in the amount of $730,000, which we obtained by collateralizing our assets under the letter of credit pursuant to the AE Credit Facility. Other participants have assumed or will assume their share of this obligation. AE’s current share of the bond’s collateralization is $365,000.

Rampant Lion”RLE”


Radiant owns 100% of RLE. RLE owns interests in a lease, comprising approximately 5,760 acres located in the federal waters offshore Texas. The Aquamarine Project is approximately 28 miles from shore and is located in 140’ of water. There is currently a shut in platform, which we intend to use to drill and produce our prospective wells. The acreage position in which RLE holds its interest in the Aquamarine Project is subdivided into an exclusive area (Aquamarine Project – Marg A- Exclusive) and a non-exclusive area (Marg A-5 Non-Excusive).



Page 8 of 45



Aquamarine Project – Marg A Exclusive Area. Marg A Exclusive includes 2,520 acres located in the federal waters offshore Texas, more specifically MU 758. Pursuant to the participation agreements with Challenger Minerals, Inc. and Medco Energi US, LLC, the Company holds an 11.25% working interest upon the well’s first production, a 28.135% working interest after the well pays out, and a 21.325% working interest after the project pays out and assuming certain third parties make certain elections. A well was re-completed in May 2010 and production resumed shortly thereafter. Medco Energi US, LLC is the operator for this project.


There is currently one well producing from the field. It is supported from a caisson which is tied into the MU 759 “B” production platform located on a contiguous block. There is also a shut-in platform on RLE’s block. We want to utilize the shut-in platform to drill and produce our prospective wells. Chevron discovered normally-pressured multiple pays in the Rob L, Rob M and Marg A sands in 1977. Chevron set the ‘A’ platform and successfully drilled and completed 6 wells. The block has cumulative production of 96 BCF and 67 MBO. The last date of production from this platform was in 1994. RLE generated and caused the Medco #1 well to be drilled in October 2006. This well tested the under-produced Marg A sands in a structurally higher position than the Chevron wells. The Medco well was successful in finding 103’ of net pay in 7 sands. The well was successfully tested in the Marg A at 2.5 MMCF/D & Marg A-2 sands at 1.75 MMCF/D and was producing from the Marg A – B sand at 1.75 MMCF/D.


Our strategy is to prove up additional reserves by developing the sands tested above and the other pay sands seen in the initial well. We believe that the trap is a downthrown 3 and 4-way closure and that the sands are consistent across the structure and block.


Aquamarine Project – Marg A-5 Non-Exclusive. Marg A-5 is located on MU 758 in the federal waters offshore Texas. We currently hold a 100% working interest on 3,240 acres that make up the Aquamarine Project – Marg A-5. We anticipate being the operator for this project. There is currently no activity on this project. In order to drill and complete a well on this project, the Company anticipates it will need to raise an additional $15,000,000 from third parties.


RLE has identified a normally-pressured Marg A-5 prospect on the northeast portion of our block. The Marg A-5 sand is the lowermost of the Marg A sands locally. There is approximately 2,500’ of gross sand section in the Marg A. Although our primary target is the Marg A-5, we intend to test the majority of this section in a trapping position.


In the adjacent block to the east, MU 759, EOG discovered commercial gas in January 1994. We understand that EOG drilled 6 productive well and set two structures, and that they found pay in 8 sands within the Marg A section. The wells have cumulatively produced 45.5 BCF and 165 MBO. These sands are normally-pressured. The trap is upthrown with 3 way dip closure. Seismically, there is some amplitude anomalies with phase changes within the Marg A section that are direct ties to the pay sands, including the Marg A-5.


We have interpreted 3D seismic and have integrated it with the sub-surface control. Our prospect is upthrown with 3 way dip closure and has an amplitude anomaly with phase changes at the Marg A-5 level. Approximately 7,000’ to the northwest, Chevron drilled its #1 well in November 1985. This well encountered 65’ of Marg A-5 sand at 9,710’. The sand is in a non-trapping position and had no amplitude or phase change characteristics. At our location, we will be >200’ high to this well at the Marg A-5 sand level. The prospect has 335 acres of closure.

Garnet Project


We currently hold no rights to the Garnet Project. We anticipate deploying between $125,000 and $255,000 in capital to acquire a 33% working interest in the Garnet Project. We anticipate needing an additional $6,200,000 to drill and complete a well and place production barge facilities on this property. We intend to be the operator for this project. The Garnet Project is an oil redevelopment project of a 1950’s field first developed by Sun Oil Company and is composed mainly of new drill sites that would sidetrack out of existing well bores. Additionally there are a number of rework/re-complete opportunities and deep gas exploration opportunities, all mostly within the confines of a 1950’s vintage Held By Production (HBP) state lease.


The project area is in the inland state waters of lower southeast St. Mary Parish, Louisiana within two fields that were discovered in the early 1950’s and have produced over 59 MMB0 and 2.8 TCF since 1965. The subject property is a state lease on which a major oil company drilled 26 wells. Since 1965 the wells produced 217 BCF and 5.8 MMBO from 21 productive wells out of 63 individual perforated intervals from 20 different normally-pressured pay sands ranging from 9,000’ to 12,000’. Overall we believe this is an excellent opportunity to redevelop a major oil company’s legacy leasehold. The lease was originally taken by Sun Oil Company in 1947. The approximately 2,000 acre lease has been and remains held by production by a third party. There are 13 existing wellbores on the property available for future utilization.


If we are able to acquire an interest in the Garnet Project, we anticipate processing the project in 3 phases:


Lower Risk Rework and Recompletions There are as many as 8 wells that are capable of being reworked and/or recompleted in a total of 16 different zones. However, projected reserves for the rework/recomplete opportunities are not the main thrust of the pending operations, as only 2 of those wells are initially targeted for re-entry and re-completion.


Development Drilling for PUD and Low Risk Probable and Possible Reserves The initial thrust of the redevelopment effort is to prove up reserves in these categories that can be subsequently drilled from existing locations utilizing existing well bores or through new wells. Use of existing wellbores should qualify for a two-year exemption from Louisiana severance taxes of 12.5% on oil and approximately 7% on gas.


The Proved Undeveloped “PUD” reserves are up dip to existing wells that have either watered out or gone off production making 30-60 BO/D with water ranging from 60 to 95% BS&W. Additionally there are compression reserves that can be captured utilizing 3 stage compression. Most wells went off production in the mid to late 70’s and the last well drilled in the area was in 1985. Current pricing makes this an economic venture.


There are 20 productive pay sand intervals in the field in a 3,000’ stratigraphic interval and all of the identified fault blocks thus far have not tested the entire stratigraphic section in optimal trapping position. There are a number of fault blocks that have only tested narrow intervals of the entire productive stratigraphic section and there is further potential for these untested strata graphic sections.


Wells in the PUD and probable category require wells no deeper than 12,500’ in normally-pressured sections requiring mud weights in the 10 pound range.


High Potential Exploratory Drilling Although deep sand potential is not the initial thrust of the development program, a very large potential deep gas exploratory play on the acreage position has been identified. The play consists of a 2,000 + acre 3-way dip closure, which is down-thrown and along trend to the same fault that is responsible for deep gas production in adjacent fields both to the east and to the west. We believe that potentially large reserves exist within this large down-thrown closure.

Baldwin Project


We have an Area of Mutual Interest Agreement with J&S 2008 Program, LLC, in which J&S 2008 Program LLC will assemble this prospect. J&S 2008 Program, LLC will pay 100% of the leasehold costs and will carry us for a 12.5% interest in the initial test well. In addition, we have the right to participate for 10% in the prospect by paying that percentage amount of the leasehold and initial well costs. We will be responsible for our proportionate share of all drilling and completion costs in subsequent wells and will need to raise the financing to participate in this project. Radiant currently has no leasehold ownership interests in this prospect.


The Baldwin Project is an offset to the Ensminger Project. Baldwin Field was discovered in the late 70’s by Sun Oil Company and has produced over 45 BCF and 550 MBO out of a geopressured sand at approximately 14,000’. We believe that the reserves of the prospective fault block are 6.7 BCF and 82 MBO.


Ruby-Diamond-Coral Project


There are currently 5 leases that comprise this prospect. We have a 65% working interest in the Ruby-Diamond-Coral Project before pay out and a 56.25% working interest after pay out. We intend to act as the operator of this project. We anticipate needing to raise $4,224,000 to drill and complete a well on this project. Ruby-Diamond consists of 2,868 gross acres in shallow Louisiana state waters offshore St. Mary Parish. Some additional leasing may be required before drilling is initiated.


Pursuant to an Option Agreement dated April 15, 2008, with Energy XXI, Energy XXI was to acquire 100% of the leases and we were provided the option to participate for a 25% working interest. The Option Agreement was subsequently assigned to Buccaneer Resources, LLC “Buccaneer”. As of the date hereof, none of the leases had been assigned to Buccaneer Resources, LLC pursuant to the Option Agreement, although they will be upon request by Buccaneer.


In addition, pursuant to an Exploration Agreement among JOG, Sweet Bay Exploration, LLC “Sweetbay” and Energy XXI, JOG and Sweet Bay were provided the right to receive a permanent overriding interest of 2.5% and a 2% overriding interest which could be converted into a 25% working interest at payout. Subsequently, Energy XXI withdrew from the project but the Exploration Agreement has never been amended to reflect the terms between the remaining parties. We anticipate amending the Exploration Agreement in September 2010 to reflect all current terms.


Ruby Diamond. The Ruby Prospect is an overall 180 BCF multiple well prospect in an old Shell Oil Company field, which has produced 509 BCF and 65 MMBO. The primary objective is the Text. W (Middle Miocene) sands in a reservoir pool extension at an estimated depth of 12,000’. The secondary objective is the Cib. Op (Middle Miocene) sands in a deeper pool reservoir in a gas productive fault block at an estimated depth of 15,500’. The prospect is covered with 3-D seismic.


Coral Prospect. The Coral Prospect is a new fault block extension of the Eugene Island Block 18 field (509 BCF, 65 MMBO). The primary objectives are the geopressured Text. W. sands which have produced 103 BCF and 2.8 MMBC in the field proper. Three Text. W sands ranging in depths from 12,300 to 12,800 are the specific prospect targets. Total potential gas reserves for the coral prospect are 30 BCF.


The initial proposed well will be a re-entry and sidetrack from the inactive COCKRELL #1 SL 14354 borehole. A directional well will be drilled to 13,702 MD (13,000 TVD). The estimated dry hole cost of the proposed sidetrack is $3,300,000.


Potential reserves for the prospect fault block total 30 BCF. Potential reserves were calculated using three Text. W sand levels (Z-1, AA and BB). These particular sands were wireline logged as gas productive in the down dip COCKRELL #2 SL 14354. Recently, a third-party reserve report assigned a potential of 11 BCF and 300 MBC solely to the initial proposed well.

Reserves


The following estimates of the net proved oil and natural gas reserves of our oil and gas properties located entirely within the United States of America are based on evaluations prepared by third-party reservoir engineers. Reserves were estimated in accordance with guidelines established by the SEC and the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), which require that reserve estimates be prepared under existing economic and operating conditions with no provisions for price and cost changes except by contractual arrangements. Reserve estimates are inherently imprecise and estimates of new discoveries are more imprecise than those of producing oil and gas properties. Accordingly, reserve estimates are expected to change as additional performance data becomes available.

Industry Overview


Crude oil prices continue to be very volatile. The WTI spot price is projected to rise slowly as economic conditions improve, to an average of about $72 per barrel in 2010. The high price case depicts a future world oil market in which conventional production is restricted by political decisions as well as by resource availability, as major producing countries use quotas, fiscal regimes, and various degrees of nationalization to increase their national revenues from oil production. In 1970, we imported 24% of our oil, today it's nearly 70% --and growing. Although the United States represents a mere 4% of the world's population, we use nearly 25% of its oil.


The No. 1 field in the world, the Ghawar, is pretty close to peaking if it hasn't already. The non-OPEC world, 175 countries, of which only 30 produce meaningful amounts of oil, should experience peak production in 2010. Then the world will become dependent on OPEC for all future growth in barrel needs. That should put the US in a pretty difficult situation and the price of oil should begin to rise.


Eleven of the non-OPEC countries have peaked already, representing 34.3% of non-OPEC production. There are three non-OPEC countries on the cusp of peaking, and one of them, Mexico, may have already peaked and represents 7.9% of production. China will probably peak this year, or next. They are at flat production levels now and contribute 8.5% of production. More than 50% of the non-OPEC production will therefore have peaked. There are a great number of issues affecting when the whole world’s production peaks. The demand for oil and, thus, pricing should continue to rise as other producing areas become less productive.


Current Lower Cost Environment.


The oil and gas industry has experienced a decrease in drilling and production costs as equipment and services are oversupplied for the current drilling demand. As the oil price settles in a range, between $60 and $80 per barrel, drilling costs are expected to return to pre-recession levels. Radiant expects to benefit from the current lower cost environment as a result of its "ready to drill" inventory.


Most oil & gas analysts and economists are predicting higher prices for oil and natural gas into the future. With the growth of China and India the demand for oil is at an all time high. Regardless of any consumption changes within the US, the worldwide demand for oil and gas will continue to utilize all available supply quantities for many years to come.


Marketing and Customers


We intend to market substantially all of our oil and natural gas production from the properties we operate. The majority of our operated oil gas production will likely be sold to a variety of purchasers under short-term (less than 12 months) contracts at market-based prices.


Medco Energi US accounted for nearly 100 percent of our total oil and natural gas revenues during the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2009. We may also sell our production to a number of other customers, and we believe that those customers, along with other purchasers of oil and natural gas, would purchase all or substantially all of our production in the event that Medco Energi US LLC curtailed its purchases.


We transport most of our oil and gas through third-party gathering systems and pipelines. Transportation space on these gathering systems and pipelines is normally readily available. Our ability to market our oil and gas may at times be limited or delayed due to restricted or unavailable transportation space or weather damage, and cash flow from the affected properties could be adversely affected.


Competition


The oil and gas industry is intensely competitive. This is particularly true in the competition for acquisitions of prospective oil and natural gas properties and oil and gas reserves. We believe that the location of our leasehold acreage, our exploration, drilling, and production expertise, and the experience and knowledge of our management and industry partners enable us to compete effectively in our core operating areas. Notwithstanding our talents and assets, we still face stiff competition from a substantial number of major and independent oil and gas companies that have larger technical staffs and greater financial and operational resources than we do. Many of these companies not only engage in the acquisition, exploration, development, and production of oil and natural gas reserves, but also have refining operations, market refined products, own drilling rigs, and generate electricity. We also compete with other oil and natural gas companies in attempting to secure drilling rigs and other equipment necessary for the drilling and completion of wells. We are seeing signs of loosening rig availability, although it is quite specific by region.



Page 14 of 45



Regulatory Matters


Regulation of Oil and Gas Production, Sales and Transportation


The oil and gas industry is subject to regulation by numerous national, state and local governmental agencies and departments. Compliance with these regulations is often difficult and costly and noncompliance could result in substantial penalties and risks. Most jurisdictions in which we operate also have statutes, rules, regulations or guidelines governing the conservation of natural resources, including the unitization or pooling of oil and gas properties and the establishment of maximum rates of production from oil and gas wells. Some jurisdictions also require the filing of drilling and operating permits, bonds and reports. The failure to comply with these statutes, rules and regulations could result in the imposition of fines and penalties and the suspension or cessation of operations in affected areas.


We intend to operate various gathering systems. The United States Department of Transportation and certain governmental agencies regulate the safety and operating aspects of the transportation and storage activities of these facilities by prescribing standards. However, based on current standards concerning transportation and storage activities and any proposed or contemplated standards, we believe that the impact of such standards is not material to our operations, capital expenditures or financial position.


All of our sales of our natural gas are currently deregulated, although governmental agencies may elect in the future to regulate certain sales.


Environmental Regulation


Various federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment, including the discharge of materials into the environment, may affect our exploration, development and production operations and the costs of those operations. These laws and regulations, among other things, govern the amounts and types of substances that may be released into the environment, the issuance of permits to conduct exploration, drilling and production operations, the handling, discharge and disposition of waste materials, the reclamation and abandonment of wells, sites and facilities, financial assurance under the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 and the remediation of contaminated sites. These laws and regulations may impose substantial liabilities for noncompliance and for any contamination resulting from our operations and may require the suspension or cessation of operations in affected areas.


The environmental laws and regulations applicable to us and our operations include, among others, the following United States federal laws and regulations:


·

Clean Air Act, and its amendments, which governs air emissions;


·

Clean Water Act, which governs discharges of pollutants into waters of the United States;


·

Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, which imposes strict liability where releases of hazardous substances have occurred or are threatened to occur (commonly known as “Superfund”);


·

Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, which governs the management of solid waste;


·

Oil Pollution Act of 1990, which imposes liabilities resulting from discharges of oil into navigable waters of the United States;


·

Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act, which requires reporting of toxic chemical inventories;


·

Safe Drinking Water Act, which governs underground injection and disposal activities; and


·

U.S. Department of Interior regulations, which impose liability for pollution cleanup and damages.


We routinely obtain permits for our facilities and operations in accordance with these applicable laws and regulations on an ongoing basis. To date, there are no known issues that have had a significant adverse effect on the permitting process or permit compliance status of any of our facilities or operations.



Page 15 of 45



The ultimate financial impact of these environmental laws and regulations is neither clearly known nor easily determined as new standards are enacted and new interpretations of existing standards are rendered. Environmental laws and regulations are expected to have an increasing impact on our operations. In addition, any non-compliance with such laws could subject us to material administrative, civil or criminal penalties, or other liabilities. Potential permitting costs are variable and directly associated with the type of facility and its geographic location. For example, costs may be incurred for air emission permits, spill contingency requirements, and discharge or injection permits. These costs are considered a normal, recurring cost of our ongoing operations and not an extraordinary cost of compliance with government regulations.


We believe our operations are in substantial compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations. We expect to continue making expenditures on a regular basis relating to environmental compliance. We maintain insurance coverage for spills, pollution and certain other environmental risks, although we are not fully insured against all such risks. The insurance coverage maintained by us provides for the reimbursement to us of costs incurred for the containment and clean-up of materials that may be suddenly and accidentally released in the course of our operations, but such insurance does not fully insure pollution and similar environmental risks. We do not anticipate that we will be required under current environmental laws and regulations to expend amounts that will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or our results of operations. However, since environmental costs and liabilities are inherent in our operations and in the operations of companies engaged in similar businesses and since regulatory requirements frequently change and may become more stringent, there can be no assurance that material costs and liabilities will not be incurred in the future. Such costs may result in increased costs of operations and acquisitions and decreased production.

Our principal place of business is at 9700 Richmond Avenue, Suite 124, Houston, Texas 77042.


MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION


Organizational History


Prior to the Reorganization, Radiant was an inactive public company seeking merger and business operations opportunities. The Company was originally incorporated as a Colorado corporation in June 1973. In April 2010, the Company reorganized from a Colorado corporation to a Nevada corporation, effected a 5 for 1 reverse split and changed its name from G/O Business Solutions, Inc. to Radiant Oil & Gas, Inc.


In July 2010, the Company entered into an exchange agreement with JOG, which closed in August 2010. For legal purposes, Radiant is the surviving entity; however for accounting purposes, JOG is the survivor. JOG was originally incorporated as a Louisiana corporation in October 1990. A further 2:1 reverse split was completed September 9, 2010.


Principles of Consolidation


We consolidate all investments in which we have exclusive control. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of JOG, RLE, and JOGop. In accordance with established practice in the oil and gas industry, our financial statements include our pro-rata share of assets, liabilities, income and lease operating and general and administrative costs and expenses of AE in which we have an interest. We own a 51% interest in AE as of June 30, 2010 and as of September 10, 2010.

Three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to three months ended June 30, 2009


Production volumes, revenues, and lease operating expenses increased primarily from restoration to production of the MU758 B1 well.


General & administrative expenses increased primarily from legal, audit and consulting expenses associated with the reorganization of the Company.


Interest expense was reduced approximately 30% to $93,495 primarily from the Company’s interest in AE decreasing from 75% to 51%. in October 2009.


Six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to six months ended June 30, 2009


Production and revenues increased primarily from successful recompletion of the MU758 B1 well. The increased revenues from increased production were partially offset by a $2.00 lower realized price. Higher than normal Lease operating expenses in early 2009 were the result of workover operations on the MU758 B1 which were ultimately unsuccessful.


General & administrative expenses increased in the current year primarily from legal, audit and consulting expenses associated with the reorganization of the Company.


Interest expense was reduced approximately 35% to $188,877 primarily from the Company’s interest AE decreasing from 75% to 51% in October 2009.


Liquidity and Capital Resources


Historically our primary source of funding was from capital contributions, bank borrowings and cash from operations. At June 30, 2010, the Company had a working capital deficit of $4,976,949 and an accumulated deficit of $2,621,671. The Company intends to raise up to $14,500,000 in equity as further described below although there is no assurance it will be successfully in doing so.


Reverse Split


On March 30, 2010, the Company’s shareholders approved a proposal to effect one or a series of reverse stock splits of the Company’s common stock at a ratio of not less than 1-for-3 and not greater than 1-for-10, with the exact ratio to be set within such range in the discretion of the Company’s board of directors without further approval or authorization of the Company’s shareholders. In April 2010, the Company reorganized from a Colorado corporation to a Nevada corporation, effected a 1-for-5 reverse stock split, and changed its name from G/O Business Solutions, Inc. to Radiant Oil & Gas, Inc. The Company’s board of directors has approved another reverse split of its common stock at a ratio of 1-for-2, which became effective on September 9, 2010.



Page 17 of 45



Reorganization


On July 23, 2010, the Company entered into a reorganization agreement by and among the Company and the JOG Shareholders pursuant to which we agreed to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of JOG common stock held by the JOG Shareholders (“Reorganization”). At the closing of the Reorganization on August 5, 2010 (the “Closing”), at which time JOG became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, we issued 5,000,000 shares of our common stock to the JOG Shareholders and up to an additional 1,000,000 shares upon satisfaction of certain vesting requirements as follows:

----------------------

(1) Upon the satisfaction of any four of the following conditions, the Company has agreed to issue to the JOG Shareholders, on a pro-rata basis, an aggregate of 250,000 shares (not to exceed 1,000,000 shares) for each condition satisfied:


·

Garnet – Nominate the southern (St. Mary Parish School Board) acreage for lease

·

Coral – Permit well

·

Amber – Re-acquire State seismic permit covering open acreage in Bayou Teche, Grand Lake and Attakapas Wildlife Management Areas

·

Amber – Re-acquire seismic permit on 1,000 net acres

·

Amber – Re-acquire seismic permit on additional 1,000 net acres

·

Amber – Extend Apache Seismic Permit and Sub-Lease from September 2010

·

Amber – Execute Seismic Services Contract for shooting of 3-D survey


At the Closing of the Reorganization, the Company also issued a promissory note in favor of the Majority Shareholder in the original principal amount of $884,000, which accrues interest at the rate of 4% per annum and matures upon the earlier of (i) May 31, 2013 or (ii) the date on which the Company closes any equity financing in which the Company receives gross proceeds of at least $10,000,000. Also in connection with the Reorganization, an additional $165,000, which has no formal repayment terms, is also due to the Majority Shareholder. The note and payable were treated as a deemed dividend to the Majority Shareholder.


In July 2010, the Company agreed to issue 543,205 shares of Company common stock to an investor relations consultant for services to be rendered upon completion of the Reorganization. In August 2010, the Company agreed to issue 3,000,000 shares of Company common stock to John Thomas Financial “JTF: in consideration for entering into an investment banking agreement. JTF has agreed to return to the Company 2,000,000 of these shares if, during the period commencing on August 2, 2010 and ending 12 months after the date a registration statement covering the resale of the Company’s equity or equity equivalent securities is declared effective by the SEC, JTF does not raise an aggregate of at least $10,000,000 (in this Offering and in subsequent offerings of the Company’s securities). Concurrent with the Closing of the Reorganization, the Company issued 50,000 shares of Company common stock to Brian Rodriguez pursuant to his director’s agreement.


Accounting Treatment


While Radiant is the surviving corporation (and JOG is the wholly owned subsidiary) for legal purposes, JOG is deemed to be the acquirer in the Reorganization for accounting purposes and, consequently, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations that are reflected in the financial statements are those of JOG and will be recorded at the historical cost basis of JOG. As a result of the Reorganization, there was a change in control of the Company. The Company will continue to be a “smaller reporting company” as defined under the Exchange Act following the Reorganization.

We consolidate all investments in which we have exclusive control. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of JOG and its wholly owned subsidiary, RLE, and JOGop, a company under common control. In accordance with established practice in the oil and gas industry, our financial statements include our pro-rata share of assets, liabilities, income and lease operating and general and administrative costs and expenses of AE, a limited liability company in which we have an interest. We own a 51% interest in AE as of June 30, 2010.


Credit Facility


Concurrent with the Closing of the Reorganization, JOG and the Company entered into modifications with respect to certain credit facilities, being the AE Credit Facility and the RLE Credit Facility, which collectively are referred to as “Credit Facility” with MBL. The material modifications to the Credit Facility are as follows:


The maturity date of the AE Credit Facility has been extended to March 20, 2011, to correspond to the maturity date of the RLE Credit Facility;


MBL agreed to convert $1,000,000 of the Credit Facility into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $2.00 per share (subject to downward adjustment depending upon pricing of subsequent Company equity financings, including this Offering) in increments of $500,000 corresponding to principal reductions made by the Company in and after July 2010, provided that upon each such conversion there is (i) no event of default in the Credit Facility and (ii) $500,000 and $1,000,000, respectively, of aggregate mandatory principal payments on the Credit Facility have been paid, of which $100,000 has been paid to date (“Debt Conversion”);


MBL agreed to re-convey to JOG all interests in real property and membership interests conveyed to MBL’s affiliate Macquarie Americas Corp (“MAC”) in connection with the AE Credit Facility, provided that all obligations under the AE Credit Facility, RLE Credit Facility, and all letters of credit shall have been paid or refinanced prior to March 15, 2011;


The Company agreed to make mandatory interest and principal reduction payments to MBL on the Credit Facility on each of August 20, 2010 and September 20, 2010 in the amount of $100,000 and on each of October 20, 2010, November 20, 2010, December 20, 2010, January 20, 2011 and February 20, 2011, in the amount of $250,000. The Company shall also pay to MBL an amount equal to 1/6th of the gross proceeds raised by the Company through the subsequent equity raised , which amounts shall be credited against the monthly mandatory principal reduction payments; and


The Company agreed to guarantee $500,000 of the Credit Facility indebtedness contingently owed by JOG to MBL.


We cross-collateralized the AE Credit Facility and the RLE Credit Facility and each subsidiary guaranteed the obligations under the Credit Facility.


The principal amount and accrued interest owed by RLE and AE on a stand-alone basis, pursuant to the Credit Facility as of June 30, 2010 is approximately $6.0 million. Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of RLE and our pro-rata share of assets, liabilities, income and costs and expenses of AE. Accordingly, the principal amount and accrued interest of our Credit Facility as presented in our consolidated financial statements of June 30, 2010 is approximately $4.1 million.


Recent Financing


In August 2010, the Company issued $600,000 in principal amount of debentures due on the earlier of (i) July 31, 2011 and (ii) the closing of a $2,000,000 financing. If the Company raises less than the Maximum Amount, 30% of all gross proceeds will be paid to the holders of the debentures as a pre-payment of principal. If the Company raises the Maximum Amount, the Company will be required to pay the debentures in full. As additional consideration for the purchase of the debentures, the Company also issued to the investors warrants to purchase up to 300,000 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $1.00 per share. The warrants expire upon the earlier of (i) two years after a registration statement registering the resale of the shares underlying the warrants is declared effective by the SEC and (ii) July 31, 2014. The Company granted the investors piggyback registration rights for the shares of common stock underlying the warrants.


Capital Issuance


The Company has entered into an agreement with an investment banker to be the placement agent for a series of private offerings up to $14,500,000.



Page 19 of 45



In the event that the investment banking firm places equity or equity equivalent offerings, it will receive a cash placement agent fee of 8% of the first $2,000,000, and an expense reimbursement of $75,000. The investment baking firm will receive 10% of the gross proceeds of any offerings in excess of $2,000,000 and cash expense reimbursement of 3% of the gross proceeds of any offerings. At the closing of each equity offering, the firm will receive warrants to purchase one share of common stock for each ten shares sold with an exercise price of 105% of the offering price of the stock.


The agreement requires Radiant to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission at the earlier of (i) 30 days of the closing of $14,500,000 and (ii) March 31, 2011 and to use its best efforts to have the registration statement declared effective within 120 days from the filing of the registration statement. The penalty for noncompliance is 2% of the shares issued in conjunction with the offering, up to a cap of 6%, for each 30 period of delay.


In the event that the investment banking firm places debt financing, the firm will receive a cash placement fee as follows: 5% of the first $10 million, 4% of the next $10 million, 3% of the next $10 million, 2% of the next $10 million, and 1% of any amounts raised over $40 million. If JOG’s current lender enters into additional financing with Radiant, the firm will receive 2% of the cash proceeds.


On Sept 5 the Company issued a confidential private placement memorandum offering to accredited investors only a minimum of 500,000 shares ($500,000)(“Minimum Amount”) and a maximum of 2,000,000 shares ($2,000,000) (“Maximum Amount”) of its common stock, par value $.01 (the “Shares”), at a purchase price per Share of $1.00. The Shares are being offered on a “reasonable efforts” “all or none” basis with respect to the Minimum Amount and on a “reasonable efforts” basis with respect to the Maximum Amount. The Company will use the proceeds to pay down debt and for working capital.

Critical Accounting Policies


Principles of Consolidation


We consolidate all investments in which we have exclusive control. In accordance with established practice in the oil and gas industry, our financial statements include our pro-rata share of assets, liabilities, income and lease operating and general and administrative costs and expenses of a limited liability company, AE in which we have an interest. We owned a 75% interest in AE through October 9, 2009 and 51% after that date.


Use of Estimates


The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, if any, at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the respective reporting periods. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions and information that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Estimates and assumptions about future events and their effects cannot be perceived with certainty and, accordingly, these estimates may change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired, as additional information is obtained and as our operating environment changes. Our estimates include oil and natural gas proved reserve quantities which form the basis for the calculation of amortization of oil and natural gas properties. Management emphasizes that reserve estimates are inherently imprecise and that estimates of more recent reserve discoveries are more imprecise than those for properties with long production histories. Actual results may differ from the estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.


Oil and Natural Gas Properties


We account for our oil and natural gas producing activities using the full cost method of accounting as prescribed by the SEC. Under this method, subject to a limitation based on estimated value, all costs incurred in the acquisition, exploration, and development of proved oil and natural gas properties, including internal costs directly associated with acquisition, exploration, and development activities, the costs of abandoned properties, dry holes, geophysical costs, and annual lease rentals are capitalized within a cost center. Costs of production and general and administrative corporate costs unrelated to acquisition, exploration, and development activities are expensed as incurred.



Page 20 of 45



Costs associated with unevaluated properties are capitalized as oil and natural gas properties but are excluded from the amortization base during the evaluation period. When we determine whether the property has proved recoverable reserves or not, or if there is an impairment, the costs are transferred into the amortization base and thereby become subject to amortization. We evaluate unevaluated properties for inclusion in the amortization base at least annually.


Capitalized costs included in the amortization base are depleted using the units of production method based on proved reserves. Depletion is calculated using the capitalized costs included in the amortization base, including estimated asset retirement costs, plus the estimated future expenditures to be incurred in developing proved reserves, net of estimated salvage values.


We include our pro rata share of assets and proved reserves associated with an investment that is accounted for on a proportional consolidation basis with assets and proved reserves that we directly own in the appropriate cost center. We calculate the depletion and net book value of the assets based on the cost center’s aggregated values. Accordingly, the ratio of production to reserves, depletion and impairment associated with a proportionally consolidated investment does not represent a pro rata share of the depletion, proved reserves, and impairment of the proportionally consolidated venture.


The net book value of all capitalized oil and natural gas properties within a cost center, less related deferred income taxes, is subject to a full cost ceiling limitation which is calculated quarterly. Under the ceiling limitation, costs may not exceed an aggregate of the present value of future net revenues attributable to proved oil and natural gas reserves discounted at 10 percent using current prices, plus the lower of cost or market value of unproved properties included in the amortization base, plus the cost of unevaluated properties, less any associated tax effects. Any excess of the net book value, less related deferred tax benefits, over the ceiling is written off as expense. Impairment expense recorded in one period may not be reversed in a subsequent period even though higher oil and gas prices may have increased the ceiling applicable to the subsequent period.

 

Sales or other dispositions of oil and natural gas properties are accounted for as adjustments to capitalized costs, with no gain or loss recorded unless the ratio of cost to proved reserves would significantly change. 


Asset Retirement Obligation


We record the fair value of an asset retirement cost, and corresponding liability as part of the cost of the related long-lived asset and the cost is subsequently allocated to expense using a systematic and rational method. We record an asset retirement obligation to reflect our legal obligations related to future plugging and abandonment of our oil and natural gas wells and gas gathering systems. We estimate the expected cash flow associated with the obligation and discount the amount using a credit-adjusted, risk-free interest rate. At least annually, we reassess the obligation to determine whether a change in the estimated obligation is necessary. We evaluate whether there are indicators that suggest the estimated cash flows underlying the obligation have materially changed. Should those indicators suggest the estimated obligation may have materially changed on an interim basis (quarterly), we will accordingly update our assessment. Additional retirement obligations increase the liability associated with new oil and natural gas wells and gas gathering systems as these obligations are incurred.


Revenue Recognition


We recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. We follow the “sales method” of accounting for oil and natural gas revenue, so we recognize revenue on all natural gas or crude oil sold to purchasers, regardless of whether the sales are proportionate to our ownership in the property. A receivable or liability is recognized only to the extent that we have an imbalance on a specific property greater than the expected remaining proved reserves.


Recent Accounting Pronouncements


In December 2008, the SEC issued Release No. 33-8995, Modernization of Oil and Gas Reporting (ASC 2010-3), which amends the oil and gas disclosures for oil and gas producers contained in Regulations S-K and S-X, as well as adding a section to Regulation S-K (Subpart 1200) to codify the revised disclosure requirements in Securities Act Industry Guide 2, which is being eliminated. The goal of Release No. 33-8995 is to provide investors with a more meaningful and comprehensive understanding of oil and gas reserves. Energy companies affected by Release No. 33-8995 are now required to price proved oil and gas reserves using the un-weighted arithmetic average of the price on the first day of each month within the 12-month period prior to the end of the reporting period, unless prices are defined by contractual arrangements, excluding escalations based on future conditions. SEC Release No. 33-8995 is effective beginning for financial statements for fiscal years ending on or after December 31, 2009.

In January 2010, the FASB issued FASB Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2010-03 Oil and Gas Estimations and Disclosures (ASU 2010-03). This update aligns the current oil and natural gas reserve estimation and disclosure requirements of the Extractive Industries Oil and Gas topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC Topic 932) with the changes required by the SEC final rule ASC 2010-3, as discussed above, ASU 2010-03 expands the disclosures required for equity method investments, revises the definition of oil and natural gas producing activities to include nontraditional resources in reserves unless not intended to be upgraded into synthetic oil or natural gas, amends the definition of proved oil and natural gas reserves to require 12-month average pricing in estimating reserves, amends and adds definitions in the Master Glossary that is used in estimating proved oil and natural gas quantities and provides guidance on geographic area with respect to disclosure of information about significant reserves. ASU 2010-03 must be applied prospectively as a change in accounting principle that is inseparable from a change in accounting estimate and is effective for entities with annual reporting periods ending on or after a change in accounting estimate and is effective for entities with annual reporting periods ending on or after December 31, 2009. We adopted ASU 2010-03 effective December 31, 2009.


In June 2008, the FASB issued Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities (ASC 260). ASC 260 clarifies that share-based payment awards that entitle their holders to receive non-forfeitable dividends or dividend equivalents before vesting should be considered participating securities. The adoption of ASC 260 on January 1, 2009 did not have a significant impact on our operating results, financial position or cash flows.


In February 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-09, Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements (ASU 2010-09). This update amends Subtopic 855-10 and gives a definition to SEC filer, and requires SEC filers to assess for subsequent events through the issuance date of the financial statements. This amendment states that an SEC filer is not required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated for a reporting period. ASU 2010-09 becomes effective upon issuance of the final update. We adopted the provisions of ASU 2010-09 for the period ended March 31, 2010.


RISK FACTORS


Risks Related to our Financial Condition


We currently have nominal revenues, have experienced losses, and anticipate that we will continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future.


During the twelve months ended December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2009, JOG generated net revenues of $519,183 and $106,502, respectively. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2008, JOG operating expenses were $890,536, resulting in a loss from operations of $(371,353). For the twelve months ended December 31, 2009, JOG operating expenses were $ 843,282, resulting in a loss from operations of $(736,780). For the six months ended June 30, 2010, revenue was $93,759, operating expenses were $576,360 and the loss from operations was $(482,601). G/O Business Solutions, Inc., prior to reorganization as Radiant, had no revenue during the last two fiscal years and incurred loss from operations of $(230,867) and $(83,692) for the years ended December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2009, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, G/O Business Solutions, Inc. had no revenues and a loss from operations of $(201,073). It should be expected that we will continue to experience operating losses at least through 2010. There can be no assurance that we will ever achieve net income from operations or otherwise become profitable.


We have negative cash flow from operations.


We have historically experienced losses and negative cash flows from operations and these conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern and management is attempting to raise additional capital to address our liquidity. We believe that our negative cash flow from operations will continue at least through 2010. There can be no assurance that we will ever be able to raise sufficient capital to generate positive cash flow from operations.



Page 22 of 45



We will need to raise significant capital during 2010.


At June 30, 2010, we had pro-forma current assets of $1, 327,789, pro-forma current liabilities of $6,323,097 and $(4,995,308) of pro-forma negative working capital. As of this date, the Company has nominal current assets and a significant working capital deficit. The Company intends to raise up to $14,000,000 during 2010 to fund working capital needs and reduce debt in 2010. In July and August 2010, the Company borrowed $600,000 of indebtedness that matures on the earlier of July 31, 2011 and the closing of $2,000,000 of financing and that contain partial prepayment obligations from subsequent financings. In March 2011, the Company will be required to pay off or refinance the Credit Facility in the amount of approximately $3,379,000 (on a stand-alone basis, RLE and AE owed approximately $5,513,000). While management believes that it possesses sufficient collateral to support a new credit facility for each of these existing credit facilities, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to refinance the AE Credit Facility and/or the RLE Credit Facility. MBL has agreed to convert $510,000 ($1,000,000 AE’s stand-alone basis) of the Credit Facility into up to 1,000,000 shares of Company common stock pursuant to the Debt Conversion. The failure to refinance the Credit Facility on acceptable terms will cause the Company to curtail operations. Implementation of the Company business strategy will require approximately $14,000,000 of equity to be raised during 2010 in several stages, and additional funds thereafter to implement the business plan. There can be no assurance that these best-efforts financings will result in required fundings on favorable terms, if at all. The failure to raise needed funds would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results and prospects, could cause us to curtail operations.


Debt to be repaid out of subsequent financings.


In July and August 2010, the Company issued debentures in the principal amount of $600,000, bearing interest at the rate of 18% per annum, that mature on the earlier of July 31, 2011 or the closing of a $2,000,000 financing, financing (to be partially pre-paid with 30% of the gross proceeds from subsequent financings equaling and exceeding $500,000). In addition, in August 2010, the Company amended its Credit Facilities and it is obligated to pay to MBL an amount equal to 1/6th of the gross proceeds raised by the Company through equity raised subsequent to the amendment date. The Company owes approximately $4,000,000 on its Credit Facility. Accordingly, the Company will need to raise a sufficient amount of subsequent financing to cover working capital needs in 2010 and 2011, as well as to pay down or refinance the Credit Facility.


We have a Going Concern


As of December 31, 2009, our auditor determined that our financial conditions raised substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. Management plans to raise equity financing and to restructure our Credit Facility. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to raise additional capital and refinance our Credit Facility, of which there can be no assurance that we will be successful. If we do not raise capital sufficient to fund our business plan, we may not survive.


The terms of AE’s and RLE’s debt obligation subject us to the risk of foreclosure on all of AE’s and RLE’s respective assets and imposes restrictions that may limit our ability to take certain actions.


Our subsidiaries AE and RLE both have secured credit facilities with MBL. All of the RLE and AE assets secure the Credit Facility. As of the date hereof, the outstanding principal and interest on the Credit Facility was approximately $3,379,000 (on a stand-alone basis, RLE and AE owed approximately $5,513,000). The Credit Facility matures in March 2011. Radiant is prohibited from taking any material action without the consent of MBL including selling or disposing of any assets of AE and RLE. To secure the payment of all obligations owed pursuant to the Credit Facility, AE and RLE, respectfully, granted the bank a security interest and lien on all of their respective assets. The occurrence of an event of default under any of our obligations would constitute a cross-default and would subject us to foreclosure to the extent necessary to repay any amounts due. If the bank were to foreclose on either AE’s or RLE’s assets, such event would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.


Failure to retire or refinance either the AE Credit Facility or the RLE Credit Facility will adversely affect our financial condition.


We do not have sufficient funds to repay the AE Credit Facility and the RLE Credit Facility when our debt obligations to them become due. Accordingly, we will be required to obtain funds to repay the Credit Facility either through refinancing or the issuance of additional equity or debt securities. As we have no commitment in place to effect such actions, there is no assurance that we can refinance such indebtedness. The failure to refinance either the AECredit Facility or the RLE Credit Facility would adversely affect the Company and could cause us to curtail operations.



Page 23 of 45



We expect to have substantial capital requirements, and we may be unable to obtain needed financing on satisfactory terms.


We expect to make substantial capital expenditures for the acquisition, development, production, exploration and abandonment of oil and gas properties. Our capital requirements will depend on numerous factors, and we cannot predict accurately the timing and amount of our capital requirements. We intend to primarily finance our capital expenditures through best efforts equity and debt offerings. There is no assurance that we will be successful in these capital raising activities. Adverse change in market conditions could make obtaining this financing economically unattractive or impossible.


The cost of raising money in the debt and equity capital markets has increased substantially while the availability of funds from those markets generally has diminished significantly. Also, as a result of concerns about the stability of financial markets generally and the solvency of counterparties specifically, the cost of obtaining money from the credit markets generally has increased as many lenders and institutional investors have increased interest rates, imposed tighter lending standards, refused to refinance existing debt at maturity at all or on terms similar to our current debt and, in some cases, ceased to provide funding to borrowers.


A significant increase in our indebtedness, or an increase in our indebtedness that is proportionately greater than our issuances of equity, as well as the credit market and debt and equity capital market conditions discussed above could negatively impact our ability to remain in compliance with the financial covenants under our credit facilities which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. If we are unable to finance our growth as expected, we could be required to seek alternative financing, the terms of which may not be attractive to us, or not purse growth opportunities.


Without additional capital resources, we may be forced to limit or defer our planned natural gas and oil exploration and development program and this will adversely affect the recoverability and ultimate value of our natural gas and oil properties, in turn negatively affecting our business, financial condition and results of operations. As a result, we may lack the capital necessary to capitalize on business opportunities described herein and be successful in our business operations. There is no assurance that we will be successful in raising the capital necessary to implement our business plan.


To service our indebtedness, we will require a significant amount of cash. Our ability to raise significant capital depends on many factors beyond our control.


Our ability to make payments on and to refinance our indebtedness (including the existing Credit Facility) and to fund planned capital expenditures and development and exploration efforts will depend on our ability to raise cash in the future. Our future operating performance and financial results will be subject, in part, to factors beyond our control, including interest rates and general economic, financial and business conditions. We cannot assure you that future borrowings or other facilities will be available to us in an amount sufficient to enable us to pay our indebtedness or to fund our other liquidity needs.


We may be required to:


·

obtain additional financing;


·

sell some of our assets or operations;


·

reduce or delay capital expenditures, development efforts and acquisitions; or


·

revise or delay our strategic plans.


If we are required to take any of these actions, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, we cannot assure you that we would be able to take any of these actions, that these actions would enable us to continue to satisfy our capital requirements or that these actions would be permitted under the terms of the our various debt instruments.


Potential claim for shares of common stock by a third party finder.


In April 2010, the Company entered into a reorganization agreement that terminated as conditions precedent to closing were not satisfied. A third party finder was to receive shares pursuant to this agreement but as such agreement was terminated due to closing conditions not being satisfied, such party is not entitled to receive any shares of Company common stock. While this party has stated to one of our directors that he is entitled to an unspecified number of shares, the Company intends to vigorously defend any claim made against the Company and any of its directors by this third party. As no formal demand against the Company has been made, it is not possible to quantify such claim.

Risks Related to Our Business


Any extended moratorium on new drilling in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, or any resulting additional regulations, could have a material adverse effect on any production revenue.


On April 30, 2010, officials in the Obama Administration indicated that federal agencies would not authorize new offshore drilling in U.S. waters pending review of the oil spill caused by the sinking of the Deepwater Horizon. This announcement stated that no additional drilling will be authorized until the administration completes its review of the cause of the explosion and determination of whether the explosion was unique and preventable. The administration subsequently amended the moratorium to apply only to tracts in water depths greater than 500 feet. While the Company does not own interests in any tract in the affected water depth, there is no guarantee that the restrictions will not be expanded in the future to include all tracts or to place additional bonding or other financial requirements on oil and gas producers operating in federal waters. Any such expansion of restrictions or similar resultant federal legislation, policy, or regulations could cause delays or deter new drilling in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, or may increase the costs of offshore production. Any production revenue payable to the Company relating to the Aquamarine Project (both the Marg A – Exclusive and Marg A – Non-Exclusive) could be thus materially adversely affected. We cannot predict at this time what impact, if any, this incident may have on the operations of Aquamarine Project (both the Marg A – Exclusive and Marg A – Non-Exclusive).


Oil and natural gas prices are volatile, and a decline in oil and natural gas prices would affect our financial results and impede growth.


Our future financial condition, revenues, profitability and carrying value of our properties will depend substantially upon the prices and demand for oil and natural gas. The markets for these commodities are volatile and even relatively modest drops in prices can affect our financial results and impede our growth.


Natural gas and oil prices historically have been volatile and are likely to continue to be volatile in the future, especially given current geopolitical and economic conditions. Prices for oil and natural gas fluctuate widely in response to relatively minor changes in the supply and demand for oil and natural gas, market uncertainty and a variety of additional factors beyond our control, such as:


·

domestic and foreign supplies of oil and natural gas;


·

price and quantity of foreign imports of oil and natural gas;


·

actions of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and other state-controlled oil companies relating to oil and natural gas price and production controls;


·

level of consumer product demand;


·

level of global oil and natural gas exploration and productivity;


·

domestic and foreign governmental regulations;


·

level of global oil and natural gas inventories;


·

political conditions in or affecting other oil-producing and natural gas-producing countries, including the current conflicts in the Middle East and conditions in South America and Russia;


·

weather conditions;


·

technological advances affecting oil and natural gas consumption;


·

overall U.S. and global economic conditions; and


·

price and availability of alternative fuels.


Further, oil prices and natural gas prices do not necessarily fluctuate in direct relationship to each other. Lower oil and natural gas prices may not only decrease our expected future revenues on a per unit basis but also may reduce the amount of oil and natural gas that we can produce economically. This may result in us, in future periods, having to make substantial downward adjustments to any estimated proved reserves and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Our future business will involve many uncertainties and operating risks that can prevent us from realizing profits and can cause substantial losses.


We engage in exploration and development drilling activities. Any such activities may be unsuccessful for many reasons. In addition to a failure to find oil or natural gas, drilling efforts can be affected by adverse weather conditions (such as hurricanes and tropical storms in the Gulf of Mexico), cost overruns, equipment shortages and mechanical difficulties. Therefore, the successful drilling of an oil or gas well does not ensure we will realize a profit on our investment. A variety of factors, both geological and market-related, could cause a well to become uneconomic or only marginally economic. In addition to their costs, unsuccessful wells could impede our efforts to replace reserves.


Our business involves a variety of inherent operating risks, including:


·

fires;


·

explosions;


·

blow-outs and surface cratering;


·

uncontrollable flows of gas, oil and formation water;


·

natural disasters, such as hurricanes and other adverse weather conditions;


·

pipe, cement, subsea well or pipeline failures;


·

casing collapses;


·

mechanical difficulties, such as lost or stuck oil field drilling and service tools;


·

abnormally pressured formations; and


·

environmental hazards, such as gas leaks, oil spills, pipeline ruptures and discharges of toxic gases.


If we experience any of these problems, well bores, platforms, gathering systems and processing facilities could be affected, which could adversely affect our ability to conduct operations. We could also incur substantial losses due to costs and/or liability incurred as a result of:


·

injury or loss of life;


·

severe damage to and destruction of property, natural resources and equipment;


·

pollution and other environmental damage;


·

clean-up responsibilities;


·

regulatory investigations and penalties;


·

suspension of our operations; and


·

repairs to resume operations.

Reserve estimates depend on many assumptions that may turn out to be inaccurate and any material inaccuracies in the reserve estimates or underlying assumptions of our properties will materially affect the quantities and present value of those reserves.


Estimating crude oil and natural gas reserves is complex and inherently imprecise. It requires interpretation of the available technical data and making many assumptions about future conditions, including price and other economic conditions. In preparing such estimates, projection of production rates, timing of development expenditures and available geological, geophysical, production and engineering data are analyzed. The extent, quality and reliability of this data can vary. This process also requires economic assumptions about matters such as oil and natural gas prices, drilling and operating expenses, capital expenditures, taxes and availability of funds. If our interpretations or assumptions used in arriving at our reserve estimates prove to be inaccurate, the amount of oil and gas that will ultimately be recovered may differ materially from the estimated quantities and net present value of reserves owned by us. Any inaccuracies in these interpretations or assumptions could also materially affect the estimated quantities of reserves shown in the reserve reports summarized herein. Actual future production, oil and natural gas prices, revenues, taxes, development expenditures, operating expenses, decommissioning liabilities and quantities of recoverable oil and gas reserves most likely will vary from estimates. In addition, we may adjust estimates of any proved reserves to reflect production history, results of exploration and development, prevailing oil and natural gas prices and other factors, many of which are beyond our control.


Unless we replace crude oil and natural gas reserves any future reserves and production will decline.


Our future crude oil and natural gas production will depend on our success in finding or acquiring additional reserves. If we are unable to replace any reserves through drilling or acquisitions, our level of production and cash flows will be adversely affected. In general, production from oil and gas properties declines as reserves are depleted, with the rate of decline depending on reservoir characteristics. Our total proved reserves decline as reserves are produced unless we conduct other successful exploration and development activities or acquire properties containing proved reserves, or both. Our ability to make the necessary capital investment to maintain or expand our asset base of crude oil and natural gas reserves would be impaired to the extent cash flow from operations is reduced and external sources of capital become limited or unavailable. We may not be successful in exploring for, developing or acquiring additional reserves. We also may not be successful in raising funds to acquire additional reserves.


Relatively short production periods or reserve life for Gulf of Mexico properties subject us to higher reserve replacement needs and may impair our ability to reduce production during periods of low oil and natural gas prices.


High production rates generally result in recovery of a relatively higher percentage of reserves from properties in the Gulf of Mexico during the initial few years when compared to other regions in the United States. Typically, 50 percent of the reserves of properties in the Gulf of Mexico are depleted within three to four years. Due to high initial production rates, production of reserves from reservoirs in the Gulf of Mexico generally decline more rapidly than from other producing reservoirs. A significant amount of our prospects are in the Gulf of Mexico. As a result, our reserve replacement needs from new prospects may be greater than those of other oil and gas companies with longer-life reserves in other producing areas. Also, our expected revenues and return on capital will depend on prices prevailing during these relatively short production periods. Our need to generate revenues to fund ongoing capital commitments or repay debt may limit our ability to slow or shut in production from producing wells during periods of low prices for oil and natural gas.


The Company may need to obtain bonds or other surety in order to maintain compliance with those regulations promulgated by the BOEMRE (MMS).


For offshore operations, lessees must comply with the BOEMRE (MMS) regulations governing, among other things, engineering and construction specifications for production facilities, safety procedures, plugging and abandonment of wells on the Shelf and removal of facilities. To cover the various obligations of lessees on the U.S. Outer Continental Shelf of the Gulf of Mexico, the BOEMRE (MMS) generally requires that lessees have substantial net worth or post bonds or other acceptable assurances that such obligations will be met. We are currently reviewing whether we are exempt from the supplemental bonding requirements of the BOEMRE (MMS). The cost of these bonds or other surety could be substantial and there is no assurance that bonds or other surety could be obtained in all cases. In addition, we may be required to provide letters of credit to support the issuance of these bonds or other surety. The cost of compliance with these supplemental bonding requirements could materially and adversely affect our financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.


The possible lack of business diversification may adversely affect our results of operations.


Unlike other entities that are geographically diversified, we do not have the resources to effectively diversify our operations or benefit from the possible spreading of risks or offsetting of losses. By consummating acquisitions only in the offshore Gulf of Mexico and Gulf Coast onshore our lack of diversification may:


·

subject us to numerous economic, competitive and regulatory developments, any or all of which may have a substantial adverse impact upon the particular industry in which we operate; and



Page 27 of 45



·

result in our dependency upon a single or limited number of reserve basins.


In addition, the geographic concentration of our properties in the Gulf of Mexico and Gulf Coast onshore means that some or all of the properties could be affected should the region experience:


·

severe weather;


·

delays or decreases in production, the availability of equipment, facilities or services;


·

delays or decreases in the availability of capacity to transport, gather or process production; and/or

 

·

changes in the regulatory environment.


Because all or a number of the properties could experience many of the same conditions at the same time, these conditions could have a relatively greater impact on our results of operations than they might have on other producers who have properties over a wider geographic area.


Competition for oil and gas properties and prospects is intense and some of our competitors have larger financial, technical and personnel resources that could give them an advantage in evaluating and obtaining properties and prospects.


We operate in a highly competitive environment for reviewing prospects, acquiring properties, marketing oil and gas and securing trained personnel. Many of our competitors are major or independent oil and gas companies that possess and employ financial resources that allow them to obtain substantially greater technical and personnel resources than we. We actively compete with other companies when acquiring new leases or oil and gas properties. These additional resources can be particularly important in reviewing prospects and purchasing properties. Competitors may be able to evaluate, bid for and purchase a greater number of properties and prospects than our financial or personnel resources permit. Competitors may also be able to pay more for productive oil and gas properties and exploratory prospects than we are able or willing to pay. If we are unable to compete successfully in these areas in the future, our future revenues and growth may be diminished or restricted.


The present value of future net cash flows from our proved reserves is not necessarily the same as the current market value of our estimated natural gas reserves.


We base the estimated discounted future net cash flows from our proved reserves on prices and costs in effect on the day of the estimate. However, actual future net cash flows from our natural gas and oil properties will be affected by factors such as:


·

the volume, pricing and duration of our natural gas and oil hedging contracts


·

supply of and demand for natural gas and oil;


·

actual prices we receive for natural gas and oil;


·

our actual operating costs in producing natural gas and oil;


·

the amount and timing of our capital expenditures and decommissioning costs;


·

the amount and timing of actual production; and


·

changes in governmental regulations or taxation.


The timing of any production and our incurrence of expenses in connection with the development and production of natural gas and oil properties will affect the timing of actual future net cash flows from proved reserves, and thus their actual present value. In addition, the 10% discount factor we use when calculating discounted future net cash flows may not be the most appropriate discount factor based on interest rates in effect from time to time and risks associated with us or the natural gas and oil industry in general. Any material inaccuracies in these reserve estimates or underlying assumptions will materially affect the quantities and present value of our reserves, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.



Page 28 of 45



Our offshore operations will involve special risks that could affect operations adversely.


Offshore operations are subject to a variety of operating risks specific to the marine environment, such as capsizing, collisions and damage or loss from hurricanes or other adverse weather conditions. These conditions can cause substantial damage to facilities and interrupt production. As a result, we could incur substantial liabilities that could reduce or eliminate the funds available for exploration, development or leasehold acquisitions, or result in loss of equipment and properties. In particular, we are not intending to put in place business interruption insurance due to its high cost. We therefore may not be able to rely on insurance coverage in the event of such natural phenomena.


Market conditions or transportation impediments may hinder access to oil and gas markets or delay production.


Market conditions, the unavailability of satisfactory oil and natural gas transportation or the remote location of our drilling operations may hinder our access to oil and natural gas markets or delay production. The availability of a ready market for oil and gas production depends on a number of factors, including the demand for and supply of oil and gas and the proximity of reserves to pipelines or trucking and terminal facilities. We may be required to shut in wells or delay initial production for lack of a market or because of inadequacy or unavailability of pipeline or gathering system capacity. When that occurs, we will be unable to realize revenue from those wells until the production can be tied to a gathering system. This can result in considerable delays from the initial discovery of a reservoir to the actual production of the oil and gas and realization of revenues. In some cases, our wells may be tied back to platforms owned by parties with no economic interests in these wells. There can be no assurance that owners of such platforms will continue to operate the platforms. If the owners cease to operate the platforms or their processing equipment, we may be required to shut in the associated wells, which could adversely affect our results of operations.


We are not the operator on all of our properties and therefore are not in a position to control the timing of development efforts, the associated costs, or the rate of production of the reserves on such properties.


As we carry out our planned drilling program, we will not serve as operator of all planned wells. We currently operate or plan to operate approximately 88% percent of our properties, which includes the non-exclusive portion of Mustang Island 758, the Amber 3D shoot, the Ruby-Diamond-Coral complex and the to be acquired Garnet Project acreage. As a result, we may have limited ability to exercise influence over the operations of some non-operated properties or their associated costs. Dependence on the operator and other working interest owners for these projects, and limited ability to influence operations and associated costs could prevent the realization of targeted returns on capital in drilling or acquisition activities. The success and timing of development and exploitation activities on properties operated by others depend upon a number of factors that will be largely outside of our control, including:


·

the timing and amount of capital expenditures;

·

the availability of suitable offshore drilling rigs, drilling equipment, support vessels, production and transportation infrastructure and qualified operating personnel;

·

the operator’s expertise and financial resources;

·

approval of other participants in drilling wells;

·

selection of technology; and

·

the rate of production of the reserves.

Our insurance may not protect us against business and operating risks.


We maintain insurance for some, but not all, of the potential risks and liabilities associated with our business. For some risks, we may not obtain insurance if we believe the cost of available insurance is excessive relative to the risks presented. Due to market conditions, premiums and deductibles for certain insurance policies can increase substantially, and in some instances, certain insurance policies are economically unavailable or available only for reduced amounts of coverage. Although we will maintain insurance at levels we believe are appropriate and consistent with industry practice, we will not be fully insured against all risks, including high-cost business interruption insurance and drilling and completion risks that are generally not recoverable from third parties or insurance. In addition, pollution and environmental risks generally are not fully insurable. Losses and liabilities from uninsured and underinsured events and delay in the payment of insurance proceeds could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Due to a number of catastrophic events such as the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 and Hurricanes Ivan, Katrina, Rita, Gustav and Ike, insurance underwriters increased insurance premiums for many of the coverages historically maintained and issued general notices of cancellation and significant changes for a wide variety of insurance coverages. The oil and natural gas industry suffered extensive damage from Hurricanes Ivan, Katrina, Rita, Gustav and Ike. As a result, insurance costs have increased significantly from the costs that similarly situated participants in this industry have historically incurred. Insurers are requiring higher retention levels and limit the amount of insurance proceeds that are available after a major wind storm in the event that damages are incurred. If storm activity in the future is as severe as it was in 2005 or 2008, insurance underwriters may no longer insure Gulf of Mexico assets against weather-related damage. We do not intend to put in place business interruption insurance due to its high cost. This insurance may not be economically available in the future, which could adversely impact business prospects in the Gulf of Mexico and adversely impact our operations. If an accident or other event resulting in damage to our operations, including severe weather, terrorist acts, war, civil disturbances, pollution or environmental damage, occurs and is not fully covered by insurance or a recoverable indemnity from a customer, it could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Moreover, we may not be able to maintain adequate insurance in the future at rates we consider reasonable or be able to obtain insurance against certain risks.


Our operations will be subject to environmental and other government laws and regulations that are costly and could potentially subject us to substantial liabilities.


Oil and gas exploration and production operations in the United States and the Gulf of Mexico are subject to extensive federal, state and local laws and regulations. Companies operating in the Gulf of Mexico are subject to laws and regulations addressing, among others, land use and lease permit restrictions, bonding and other financial assurance related to drilling and production activities, spacing of wells, unitization and pooling of properties, environmental and safety matters, plugging and abandonment of wells and associated infrastructure after production has ceased, operational reporting and taxation. Failure to comply with such laws and regulations can subject us to governmental sanctions, such as fines and penalties, as well as potential liability for personal injuries and property and natural resources damages. We may be required to make significant expenditures to comply with the requirements of these laws and regulations, and future laws or regulations, or any adverse change in the interpretation of existing laws and regulations, could increase such compliance costs. Regulatory requirements and restrictions could also delay or curtail our operations and could have a significant impact on our financial condition or results of operations.


Our oil and gas operations are subject to stringent laws and regulations relating to the release or disposal of materials into the environment or otherwise relating to environmental protection. These laws and regulations:


·

require the acquisition of a permit before drilling commences;

·

restrict the types, quantities and concentration of substances that can be released into the environment in connection with drilling and production activities;

·

limit or prohibit drilling activities on certain lands lying within wilderness, wetlands and other protected areas; and

·

impose substantial liabilities for pollution resulting from operations.


Failure to comply with these laws and regulations may result in:


·

the imposition of administrative, civil and/or criminal penalties;

·

incurring investigatory or remedial obligations; and

·

the imposition of injunctive relief, which could limit or restrict our operations.


Changes in environmental laws and regulations occur frequently, and any changes that result in more stringent or costly waste handling, storage, transport, disposal or cleanup requirements could require us to make significant expenditures to attain and maintain compliance and may otherwise have a material adverse effect on our industry in general and on our own results of operations, competitive position or financial condition. Although we intend to be in compliance in all material respects with all applicable environmental laws and regulations, we cannot assure you that we will be able to comply with existing or new regulations. In addition, the risk of accidental spills, leakages or other circumstances could expose us to extensive liability.



Page 30 of 45



We are unable to predict the effect of additional environmental laws and regulations that may be adopted in the future, including whether any such laws or regulations would materially adversely increase our cost of doing business or affect operations in any area.


Under certain environmental laws and regulations, we could be held strictly liable for the removal or remediation of previously released materials or property contamination regardless of whether we were responsible for the release or contamination, or if current or prior operations were conducted consistent with accepted standards of practice. Such liabilities can be significant, and if imposed could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.


The adoption of climate change legislation by Congress could result in increased operating costs and reduced demand for the oil and natural gas we produce.


On June 26, 2009, the U.S. House of Representatives approved adoption of the “American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009,” also known as the “Waxman-Markey cap-and-trade legislation” or ACESA. The purpose of ACESA is to control and reduce emissions of “greenhouse gases,” or “GHGs,” in the United States. GHGs are certain gases, including carbon dioxide and methane that may be contributing to warming of the Earth’s atmosphere and other climatic changes. ACESA would establish an economy-wide cap on emissions of GHGs in the United States and would require an overall reduction in GHG emissions of 17% (from 2005 levels) by 2020, and by over 80% by 2050. Under ACESA, most sources of GHG emissions would be required to obtain GHG emission “allowances” corresponding to their annual emissions of GHGs. The number of emission allowances issued each year would decline as necessary to meet ACESA’s overall emission reduction goals. As the number of GHG emission allowances declines each year, the cost or value of allowances is expected to escalate significantly. The net effect of ACESA will be to impose increasing costs on the combustion of carbon-based fuels such as oil, refined petroleum products, and natural gas.


The U.S. Senate has begun work on its own legislation for controlling and reducing emissions of GHGs in the United States. If the Senate adopts GHG legislation that is different from ACESA, the Senate legislation would need to be reconciled with ACESA and both chambers would be required to approve identical legislation before it could become law. President Obama has indicated that he is in support of the adoption of legislation to control and reduce emissions of GHGs through an emission allowance permitting system that results in fewer allowances being issued each year but that allows parties to buy, sell and trade allowances as needed to fulfill their GHG emission obligations. Although it is not possible at this time to predict whether or when the Senate may act on climate change legislation or how any bill approved by the Senate would be reconciled with ACESA, any laws or regulations that may be adopted to restrict or reduce emissions of GHGs would likely require us to incur increased operating costs, and could have an adverse effect on demand for the oil and natural gas we produce.


The adoption of derivatives legislation by Congress could have an adverse impact on our ability to hedge risks associated with our business.


We currently do not hedge but believe that we will hedge in the near future. Congress is currently considering legislation to impose restrictions on certain transactions involving derivatives, which could affect the use of derivatives in hedging transactions. ACESA contains provisions that would prohibit private energy commodity derivative and hedging transactions. ACESA would expand the power of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, or CFTC, to regulate derivative transactions related to energy commodities, including oil and natural gas, and to mandate clearance of such derivative contracts through registered derivative clearing organizations. Under ACESA, the CFTC’s expanded authority over energy derivatives would terminate upon the adoption of general legislation covering derivative regulatory reform. The Chairman of the CFTC has announced that the CFTC intends to conduct hearings to determine whether to set limits on trading and positions in commodities with finite supply, particularly energy commodities, such as crude oil, natural gas and other energy products. The CFTC also is evaluating whether position limits should be applied consistently across all markets and participants. In addition, the Treasury Department recently has indicated that it intends to propose legislation to subject all OTC derivative dealers and all other major OTC derivative market participants to substantial supervision and regulation, including by imposing conservative capital and margin requirements and strong business conduct standards. Derivative contracts that are not cleared through central clearinghouses and exchanges may be subject to substantially higher capital and margin requirements. Although it is not possible at this time to predict whether or when Congress may act on derivatives legislation or how any climate change bill approved by the Senate would be reconciled with ACESA, any laws or regulations that may be adopted that subject us to additional capital or margin requirements relating to, or to additional restrictions on, our commodity positions could have an adverse effect on our ability to hedge risks associated with our business or on the cost of our hedging activity.


We may be unable to successfully integrate the operations of the properties we acquire.


Integration of the operations of the properties we acquire with our existing business will be a complex, time-consuming and costly process. Failure to successfully integrate the acquired businesses and operations in a timely manner may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. The difficulties of combining the acquired operations include, among other things:



Page 31 of 45



·

operating a larger organization;


·

coordinating geographically disparate organizations, systems and facilities;


·

integrating corporate, technological and administrative functions;


·

diverting management’s attention from other business concerns;


·

an increase in our indebtedness; and


·

potential environmental or regulatory liabilities and title problems.


The process of integrating our operations could cause an interruption of, or loss of momentum in, the activities of our business. Members of our senior management may be required to devote considerable amounts of time to this integration process, which will decrease the time they will have to manage our business. If our senior management is not able to effectively manage the integration process, or if any business activities are interrupted as a result of the integration process, our business could suffer.


In addition, we face the risk of identifying, competing for and pursuing other acquisitions, which takes time and expense and diverts management’s attention from other activities.


We may not realize all of the anticipated benefits from our acquisitions.


We may not realize all of the anticipated benefits from our future acquisitions, such as increased earnings, cost savings and revenue enhancements, for various reasons, including difficulties integrating operations and personnel, higher than expected acquisition and operating costs or other difficulties, unknown liabilities, inaccurate reserve estimates and fluctuations in market prices.


If we are unable to effectively manage the commodity price risk of our production if energy prices fall, we may not realize the anticipated cash flows from our acquisitions.


We do not currently have commodity price risk; however, if we are able to produce oil and gas in the near future we may experience commodity price risk. Compared to some other participants in the oil and gas industry, we are a relatively small company with modest resources. Therefore, there is the possibility that we may be unable to find counterparties willing to enter into derivative arrangements with us or be required to either purchase relatively expensive put options, or commit to deliver future production, to manage the commodity price risk of our future production. To the extent that we commit to deliver future production, we may be forced to make cash deposits available to counterparties as they mark to market these financial hedges. Proposed changes in regulations affecting derivatives may further limit or raise the cost, or increase the credit support required to hedge. This funding requirement may limit the level of commodity price risk management that we are prudently able to complete. In addition, we are unlikely to hedge undeveloped reserves to the same extent that we hedge the anticipated production from proved developed reserves. If we fail to manage the commodity price risk of our production and energy prices fall, we may not be able to realize the cash flows from our assets that are currently anticipated even if we are successful in increasing the production and ultimate recovery of reserves.


The properties we acquire may not produce as projected, and we may be unable to determine reserve potential, identify liabilities associated with the acquired properties or obtain protection from sellers against such liabilities.


The properties we acquire may not produce as expected, may be in an unexpected condition and we may be subject to increased costs and liabilities, including environmental liabilities. Although we review properties prior to acquisition in a manner consistent with industry practices, such reviews are not capable of identifying all potential conditions. Generally, it is not feasible to review in depth every individual property involved in each acquisition. We focus our review efforts on the higher-value properties or properties with known adverse conditions and will sample the remainder. However, even a detailed review of records and properties may not necessarily reveal existing or potential problems or permit a buyer to become sufficiently familiar with the properties to fully assess their condition, any deficiencies, and development potential. Inspections may not be performed on every well, and environmental problems, such as ground water contamination, are not necessarily observable even when an inspection is undertaken.


Unanticipated decommissioning costs could materially adversely affect our future financial position and results of operations.


We may become responsible for unanticipated costs associated with abandoning and reclaiming wells, facilities and pipelines. Abandonment and reclamation of facilities and the costs associated therewith is often referred to as “decommissioning.” Should decommissioning be required that is not presently anticipated or the decommissioning be accelerated, such as can happen after a hurricane, such costs may exceed the value of reserves remaining at any particular time. We may have to draw on funds from other sources to satisfy such costs. The use of other funds to satisfy such decommissioning costs could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations.



Page 32 of 45



If we are unable to acquire or renew permits and approvals required for operations, we may be forced to suspend or cease operations altogether.

 

The construction and operation of energy projects require numerous permits and approvals from governmental agencies. We may not be able to obtain all necessary permits and approvals, and as a result our operations may be adversely affected. In addition, obtaining all necessary permits and approvals may necessitate substantial expenditures and may create a risk of expensive delays or loss of value if a project is unable to function as planned due to changing requirements or local opposition.


Certain U.S. federal income tax deductions currently available with respect to oil and gas exploration and development may be eliminated as a result of future legislation.


President Obama’s Proposed Fiscal Year 2010 Budget includes proposed legislation that would, if enacted into law, make significant changes to United States tax laws, including the elimination of certain key U.S. federal income tax incentives currently available to oil and natural gas exploration and production companies. These changes include, but are not limited to, (i) the repeal of the percentage depletion allowance for oil and natural gas properties, (ii) the elimination of current deductions for intangible drilling and development costs, (iii) the elimination of the deduction for certain domestic production activities, and (iv) an extension of the amortization period for certain geological and geophysical expenditures. It is unclear whether any such changes will be enacted or how soon any such changes could become effective. The passage of any legislation as a result of these proposals or any other similar changes in U.S. federal income tax laws could eliminate certain tax deductions that are currently available with respect to oil and gas exploration and development, and any such change could negatively affect our financial condition and results of operations.


Risks Related to our Common Stock


We depend on key personnel, the loss of any of whom could materially adversely affect future operations.


Our success will depend to a large extent upon the efforts and abilities of our executive officers and key operations personnel. The loss of the services of one or more of these key employees could have a material adverse effect on us. Our business will also be dependent upon our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel. Acquiring and keeping these personnel could prove more difficult or cost substantially more than estimated. This could cause us to incur greater costs, or prevent us from pursuing our exploitation strategy as quickly as we would otherwise wish to do.


Future sales of our common stock in the public market could lower our stock price.


We will likely sell additional shares of common stock to raise capital. We may also issue additional shares of common stock to finance future acquisitions, services rendered or equity raises. We cannot predict the size of future issuances of our common stock or the effect, if any, that future issuances and sales of shares of our common stock will have on the market price of our common stock. Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock, or the perception that such sales could occur, may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our common stock.


We recently issued an aggregate of 3,543,205 shares for services rendered, which issuances may adversely affect the market value of our stock.


In July and August 2010, we issued 543,205 shares of common stock to an investor relations consultant, and 3,000,000 shares of common stock to an investment banker, both issuances for services to be rendered. These issuances may be perceived as an overhang on the market and could depress any market that may develop for the Company common stock as well as the offering price of our equity securities in subsequent financings.


There is no assurance of continued public trading market and being a low priced security may affect the market value of stock.


To date, there has been only a limited public market for our common stock. Our common stock is currently quoted on the OTCBB. As a result, an investor may find it difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of our stock. Our stock is subject to the low-priced security or so called “penny stock” rules of the SEC that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell such securities. Some of such requirements are discussed below.


A broker/dealer selling “penny stocks” must, at least two business (2) days prior to effecting a customer’s first transaction in a “penny stock,” provide the customer with a document containing information mandated by the SEC regarding the risks of investing in our stock, and the broker/dealer must receive a signed and dated written acknowledgement of the customer’s receipt of that document prior to effecting a customer’s first transaction in a “penny stock.”



Page 33 of 45



Subject to limited exceptions, a broker/dealer must obtain information from a customer concerning the customer’s financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives and, based on the information and any other information known by the broker/dealer, the broker/dealer must reasonably determine that transactions in “penny stocks” are suitable for the customer, that the customer has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters, and that the customer reasonably may be expected to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in “penny stocks.” A broker/dealer must, at least two business (2) days prior to effecting a customer’s first purchase of a “penny stock” send a statement of this determination, together with other disclosures required by the SEC, to the customer, and the broker/dealer must receive a signed and dated copy of the statement prior to effecting the customer’s first purchase of a “penny stock.”


A broker/dealer must also, orally or in writing, disclose prior to effecting a customer’s transaction in a “penny stock” (and thereafter confirm in writing):


·

the bid and offer price quotes in and for the “penny stock,” and the number of shares to which the quoted prices apply;


·

the brokerage firm’s compensation for the trade; and


·

the compensation received by the brokerage firm’s sales person for the trade.


In addition, subject to limited exceptions, a brokerage firm must send to its customers trading in “penny stocks” a monthly account statement that gives an estimate of the value of each “penny stock” in the customer’s account. Accordingly, the Commission’s rules may limit the number of potential purchasers of the shares of our common stock.


Resale restrictions on transferring “penny stocks” are sometimes imposed by some states, which may make transaction in our stock more difficult and may reduce the value of the investment. Various state securities laws pose restrictions on transferring “penny stocks” and as a result, investors in our common stock may have the ability to sell their shares of our common stock impaired.

 

There can be no assurance we will have market makers in our stock. If the number of market makers in our stock should decline, the liquidity of our common stock could be impaired, not only in the number of shares of common stock which could be bought and sold, but also through possible delays in the timing of transactions, and lower prices for the common stock than might otherwise prevail. Furthermore, the lack of market makers could result in persons being unable to buy or sell shares of the common stock on any secondary market.


We have never paid dividends on our common stock.


We have never paid dividends on our common stock and do not presently intend to pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. We anticipate that any funds available for payment of dividends will be re-invested into the Company to further its business strategy.


We may issue preferred stock.


Our Articles of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 5,000,000 shares of blank check preferred stock with designations, rights and preferences determined from time to time by the Board of Directors. Accordingly, our Board of Directors is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting, or other rights which could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of the common stock. In the event of issuance, the preferred stock could be utilized, under certain circumstances, as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company. Although we have no present intention to issue any shares of its authorized preferred stock, there can be no assurance that the Company will not do so in the future.


Any trading market that may develop may be restricted by virtue of state securities “Blue Sky” laws which prohibit trading absent compliance with individual state laws. These restrictions may make it difficult or impossible for our security holders to sell shares of our common stock in those states.


There is no public market for our common stock, and there can be no assurance that any public market will develop in the foreseeable future. Transfer of our common stock may also be restricted under the securities regulations and laws promulgated by various states and foreign jurisdictions, commonly referred to as “Blue Sky” laws. Absent compliance with such individual state laws, our common stock may not be traded in such jurisdictions. Because the securities registered hereunder have not been registered for resale under the Blue Sky laws of any state, the holders of such shares and persons who desire to purchase them in any trading market that might develop in the future, should be aware that there may be significant state Blue Sky law restrictions upon the ability of investors to sell the securities and of purchasers to purchase the securities. These restrictions prohibit the secondary trading of our common stock.

The closing price for our common stock as reported by the OTCBB on August 5, 2010 was $.60 per share. All quotations give effect to our 1-for-5 reverse stock split effected on April 16, 2010, and for the 1-for-2 reverse stock split effected September 9, 2010

Holders

 

We had 807 stockholders of record of our common stock as of September 10, 2010, not including an indeterminate number who may hold shares in “street name”.

 

Dividends

 

We have not paid any cash dividends to stockholders. It is not expected that we will pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future, and our Credit Facility precludes such action.


Securities Authorized For Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans

 

We did not have any compensation plan under which equity securities are authorized for issuance as of our most recent fiscal year. In connection with the Reorganization, we have adopted the 2010 Stock Option Plan, for which we have reserved 3,000,000 shares of common stock for issuance thereunder.

See the information set forth in Item 3.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K which is incorporated herein by reference.


DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES


The following summary description of Radiant’s securities is qualified in its entirety by reference to Radiant’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws. The authorized capital stock of Radiant consists of 100,000,000 shares of common stock and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock.


Common Stock


As of September 10, 2010, there were 11,085,844 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. Each holder of common stock is entitled to one vote per share on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. The holders of common stock are entitled to share ratably in such dividends as may be declared by the Board of Directors and paid by Radiant out of funds legally available therefore and, upon dissolution or liquidation, to share ratably in the net assets available for distribution to stockholders. Holders of common stock have no conversion, redemption or sinking fund, preemptive, cumulative voting or subscription rights. The shares of common stock presently issued and outstanding are legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

Preferred Stock


Radiant is authorized to issue 5,000,000 of blank check authorized preferred stock of which none are issued and outstanding and Radiant has no present plans for the issuance thereof. Our board of directors has the authority, without action by our stockholders, to designate and issue preferred stock in one or more series. Our board of directors may also designate the rights, preferences, and privileges of each series of preferred stock, any or all of which may be greater than the rights of the common stock. It is not possible to state the actual effect of the issuance of any shares of preferred stock on the rights of holders of the common stock until the board of directors determines the specific rights of the holders of the preferred stock. However, these effects might include:


·

restricting dividends on the common stock;


·

diluting the voting power of the common stock;


·

impairing the liquidation rights of the common stock; and


·

delaying or preventing a change in control without further action by the stockholders.


Outstanding Option or Warrants


There are no outstanding options or warrants other than ten-year option to purchase an aggregate of 787,122 shares of Company common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share issued to our employees and warrants, which were issued to investors, to purchase an aggregate of 300,000 shares of Company common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share that expire no later than July 2014.


Transfer Agent


Our transfer agent is American Registrar & Transfer Company.


INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS


As permitted by Nevada law, our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, provide that we will indemnify its directors and officers against expenses and liabilities as they are incurred to defend, settle, or satisfy any civil or criminal action brought against them on account of their being or having been Company directors or officers unless, in any such action, they are adjudged to have acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Company has been informed that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in that Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Item 5.06 Change in Shell Company Status


As a result of the consummation of the Reorganization described in Items 1.01 and 2.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, the Company believes that it is no longer a “shell corporation,” as that term is defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act and Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act.
