PART II

ITEM 5.   MARKET FOR THE COMPANY'S COMMON STOCK AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

Market for the Common Stock

We commenced an initial public offering on February 17, 2004 and when the minimum amount ($6,500,000) was not subscribed by August 30, 2004, we terminated the offering as of that date. All investor funds which had been held in a third-party escrow account were subsequently returned to the investors with interest.

On January 25, 2006, we filed a Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form SB-2 and have since filed five amendments to that Statement for the registration of 2,672,000 shares of our common stock. This Registration Statement has not yet been declared effective by the Commission,

Neither our common stock nor our warrants are listed or traded on any stock exchange or organized market, and there is therefore no market for them.

Holders

As of September 1, 2006 there were 445 record holders of our common stock, some of whom are also holders of warrants and options. In addition there were four record holders of options and warrants who hold no common stock.

Dividends

We have never paid dividends on our common stock and do not plan to pay dividends on the common stock in the foreseeable future. Whether dividends will be paid in the future will be in the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on various factors, including our earnings and financial condition and other factors our board of directors considers relevant. We currently intend to retain earnings to develop and expand our business.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

Rappaport Loan Extensions: In February 2003, we had entered into a loan agreement with Ms. Irith Rappaport, a shareholder of Zion, to borrow the sum of up to $100,000 to cover certain obligations of Zion. On December 9, 2004, the due date of the loan was extended to June 30, 2005, in consideration for which Ms. Rappaport was granted the option valued at $10,450 to convert monies outstanding under the facility into equity securities of Zion in increments of $5,000 (a "unit"), each unit being convertible into 1,250 shares of common stock of the company and warrants to purchase 500 shares of common stock at $5.00 per share at any day through December 31, 2006. On June 30, 2005, the note and option were extended to December 31, 2005. The option extension was valued at $21,488. As of December 1, 2005, the note and option were further extended to the earlier of (a) July 31, 2006 provided that if by July 31, 2006, the company has not closed in a public offering an aggregate minimum amount

2


which provides to the company proceeds from the offering of at least $2,500,000, such date may be extended by mutual agreement or (b) at such time or times as in the opinion of the directors of Zion, funds available to Zion so permit. The December 2005 option extension was valued at $22,481. The issuance of the foregoing option extensions were made in reliance upon Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, which provide exemptions for transactions not involving a public offering. We determined that the purchaser of securities described above, an existing shareholder, was a sophisticated investor who had the financial ability to assume the risk of her total investment, acquired the securities for her own account, and not with a view to any distribution thereof to the public.

Regulation D Private Placement: Between January 1, 2005 and March 31, 2005, we raised $2,140,000 from seventy (70) investors through the sale of 535,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 214,000 shares of our common stock in two parallel private placements in the United Stated and internationally. The warrants are exercisable at $5.00 per share, expire December 31, 2006 and are designated "E Warrants." Of the total, thirty-five (35) were "accredited" investors in the amount of $1,120,000, twenty-seven (27) were "non-accredited" investors in the amount of $697,000, and eight (8) were not residents of the United States in the amount of $323,000. The sales of these securities to residents of the United States were made in reliance upon Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated pursuant thereto, which provide exemptions for transactions not involving a public offering. The sales of these securities to non-residents of the United States were made in reliance upon Regulation S promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act, which provides an exemption for offers deemed to occur outside the United States. We determined that the purchasers of securities described above were sophisticated investors who had the financial ability to assume the risk of their total investment, acquired them for their own account and not with a view to any distribution thereof to the public. The certificates evidencing all the securities above bear legends stating that the shares are not to be offered, sold or transferred other than pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration requirements.

Accredited Private Placement: As of June 10, 2005, we completed two parallel private placements, one to U.S. residents and one to non-U.S. residents, in which 276,000 shares of our common stock and E Warrants to purchase 55,200 shares of common stock were sold to thirty-nine (39) investors for a total consideration of $1,380,000. Of the total consideration, $1,345,000 was paid in cash by thirty-five (35) investors, twenty-nine (29) of whom were "accredited" investors in the amount of $1,025,000, and six (6) were not residents of the United States in the amount of $320,000. The remaining consideration of $35,000 was paid by cancellation or reduction of outstanding indebtedness owed by us to four (4) investors (all of whom were either "accredited" or non-US residents), two (2) of whom were directors and/or officers of Zion in the amount of $20,000, and two (2) of whom were not directors or officers of Zion in the amount of $15,000. The sales of these securities to residents of the United States were made in reliance upon Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, which provides exemptions for transactions not involving a public offering. The sales of these securities to non-residents of the United States were made in reliance upon Regulation S promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act, which provides an exemption for offers deemed to occur outside the United States. We determined that the purchasers of securities described above were sophisticated investors who had the financial ability to assume the risk of their total investment, acquired them for their own account and not with a view to any distribution thereof to the public. The certificates evidencing all the securities above bear legends stating that the shares are not to be offered, sold or transferred other than pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration requirements.

Second Accredited Private Placement: As of October 24, 2005, we completed two parallel private placements, one to U.S. residents and one to non-U.S. residents, in which 646,000 shares of our common stock were sold to fifty-two (52) investors for a total consideration of $3,230,000. Of the total consideration, $2,920,000 was paid in cash by forty-seven (47) investors, thirty-four (34) of whom were "accredited" investors in the amount of $985,000, and thirteen (13) were not residents of the United States in the amount of $1,925,000. The remaining consideration of $310,000 was paid by cancellation or reduction of outstanding indebtedness owed by us to five (5) investors, two of whom are executive officers of the Company. The sales of these securities to residents of the United States were made in reliance upon Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, which provides exemptions for transactions not involving a public offering. The sales of these securities to non-residents of the United States were made in reliance upon Regulation S promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act, which provides an exemption for offers deemed to occur outside the United States. We determined that the purchasers of securities described above were sophisticated investors who had the financial ability to assume the risk of their total investment, acquired them for their own account and not with a view to any distribution thereof to the public. The certificates evidencing all the securities above bear legends stating that the shares are not to be offered, sold or transferred other than pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration requirements.

Third Accredited Private Placement: As of December 31, 2005, we completed a private placement in the United States in which 40,000 shares of our common stock and "G Warrants" to purchase 12,500 shares of common stock at $5.50 per share exercisable commencing July 1, 2007 (as may be extended for up to six months by the company) through December 31, 2008 were sold to one "accredited" investor for a total consideration of $220,000 in cash. The sale of these securities was made in reliance upon Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, which provides exemptions for transactions not involving a public offering. We determined that the purchaser of securities described above was a sophisticated investor who had the financial ability to assume the risk of his total investment, acquired them for his own account and not with a view to any distribution thereof to the public. The certificates evidencing all the securities above bear legends stating that the shares are not to be offered, sold or transferred other than pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration requirements.

Warrant for Services: In October 2005, we authorized the issuance of a warrant valued at $16,500 to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock at $5.00 per share exercisable commencing July 1, 2007 (as may be extended for up to six months by the company) through December 31, 2008, to a non-U.S. financial institution based in London, U.K., for financial consulting services rendered.

Authorization of the issuance of securities above was made in reliance upon Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, which provides exemptions for transactions not involving a public offering. We determined that the recipient of securities described above was a sophisticated investor who had the financial ability to assume the risk of its total investment and acquired them for its account and not with a view to any distribution thereof to the public. The certificates evidencing the securities will bear legends stating that the shares are not to be offered, sold or transferred other than pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration requirements.

President's Stock Award: Effective November 1, 2005, Mr. Richard Rinberg was elected our president. In connection with this appointment, the board authorized the chairman and the chief executive officer of the company to negotiate a two year retention agreement commencing November 1, 2005 subject to audit committee review and approval and ratification by the board, the principle element of compensation to be prepaid in the form of 200,000 shares of Zion common stock, subject to certain pro-rated vesting requirements over the two year retention period and voting agreement requirements. Due to the nature of the restrictions and requirements related to the stock, the transaction was valued at $500,000, pro rated at $20,833 per month for the twenty-four month period commencing November 1, 2005. If Mr. Rinberg's retention is terminated prior to the end of the term, the company shall have the right to repurchase the unearned shares at par. The retention agreement was approved by the audit committee on May 22, 2006 and thereafter ratified by the board and the shares issued on May 22, 2006, to ESOP Trust Company for the benefit of Mr. Rinberg in accordance with the terms of the agreement. The issuance of the shares of common stock was authorized and made in reliance upon Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, which provides exemptions for transactions not involving a public offering. The purchaser of the securities is a director and executive officer of Zion.

Employee and Director Warrants and Options: During 2005 we issued and/or authorized issuance to one director warrants to purchase shares at $4.00 per share through December 31, 2006 (the "$4.00 Warrants"), issued to directors and former directors warrants to purchase shares at $5.00 per share between July 1, 2007 (as may be deferred by the company by up to six months) and December 31, 2008 (the "$5.00 Warrants") and awarded options under our 2005 Stock Option Plan to purchase shares at $5.00 (the "$5.00 Options") as set forth and valued in the table below. None of the securities in the table have been exercised.

*These options vested on issuance and may be exercised between July 1, 2007 (as may be deferred by the company by up to six months) and December 31, 2008.

**This option vests ratably over a three year period, one-third at the end of each year of full time employment and expire December 31, 2010. It may not be exercised prior to July 1, 2007 (as may be deferred by the company by up to six months).

The issuance or authorization for issuance of the options and warrants was made in reliance upon Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, which provides exemptions for transactions not involving a public offering. All of the recipients and purchasers of the securities at the time of issuance or authorization for issuance were officers, directors, former directors or key employees of Zion.

Exercise of Outstanding Warrants

During January 2005, 358,167 shares of our common stock were issued pursuant to warrants expiring on January 31, 2005 for cash payment in the amount of $461,500, and 7,334 shares of our common stock were issued pursuant to warrants expiring on January 31, 2005, for debt reduction in the total amount of $11,001. 160,000 shares were issued pursuant to exercise of warrants in exchange for 40,000 of shares of our common stock. On January 31, 2005, warrants to purchase 8,833 shares of our common stock at $1.00 per share expired without being exercised, and warrants to purchase 32,000 shares of our common stock at $1.50 per share expired without being exercised.

The sales of securities above were made in reliance upon Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, which provides exemptions for transactions not involving a public offering. All purchasers were existing creditors or stockholders of Zion, and the shares were purchased by way of warrants held by the creditors and/or stockholders that were acquired in the connection with their prior loan to us or the purchase or purchases of common or preferred stock. The certificates evidencing the securities purchased bear legends stating that the shares are not to be offered, sold or transferred other than pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration requirements.

Issuer Repurchases

We did not make any repurchases of our equity securities during the quarter ending December 31, 2005.

 

ITEM 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The financial statements required by this item are included at page F-1 below.

 

ITEM 8A: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that Zion files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. As of December 31, 2005, our chief

5


executive officer and our chief financial officer conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2005.

In June 2006, during the completion of the audit for 2005, our chief executive officer, our chief financial officer and our audit committee concluded that we needed to restate certain of our financial statements to correct errors in the application of accounting principles with respect to the accounting for equity instruments issued to employees and non-employees: (i) for services rendered and (ii) in consideration for debt issuances and modifications, for the period from inception (April, 2000) until December 31, 2005. As a result, we restated our previously audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004, our previously unaudited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005 and our unaudited financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 (both of which unaudited financial statements were filed in a Form SB-2/A dated May 24, 2006).

The restatements for 2004 and 2005 are described in more detail in Note 3 to the financial statements included in Form 10-KSB filed on September 14, 2006. The restatements for March 31, 2006 are described in more detail in Note 3 to the financial statements included in Form 10-QSB/A filed on September 18, 2006.

Controls over the application of accounting policies are within the scope of disclosure controls. Therefore, our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer have now concluded that there were material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting, as of December 31, 2005.

A material weakness in internal control over financial reporting is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. Our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer identified the following material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005:

  • We did not have adequate financial personnel to identify and properly apply U.S. generally accepted accounting principles to equity instruments issued to employees and non-employees, and

  • We did not maintain effective policies and procedures governing the financial close and reporting process. This deficiency resulted in a lack of management oversight and review procedures over preparation of our financial statements

  • We believe that the material weaknesses related to the issues described above are in the process of being remedied as a result of procedures that have been implemented subsequent to December 31, 2005, including; (i) the hiring of a chief financial officer with CPA credentials on a full time basis effective January 1, 2006; and (ii) direct participation of our chief financial officer in the preparation of our audit work papers

    In connection with the filing of this Form 10-KSB/A, our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer have re-evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures

    6


    as of December 31, 2005. Because of the material weakness discussed above, our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer have now concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2005.

    There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended December 31, 2005.

    Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

    The Board of Directors and Stockholders

    Zion Oil & Gas, Inc.

    We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Zion Oil & Gas, Inc. (a development stage enterprise) as of December 31, 2005 and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2005 and for the period from April 6, 2000 (inception) to December 31, 2005. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. The cumulative statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the period April 6, 2000 (inception) to December 31, 2005 include amounts for the period from April 6, 2000 (inception) to December 31, 2000 and for each of the years in the four year period ending December 31, 2004 which were audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for the period April 6, 2000 through December 31, 2004 is based solely on the report of other auditors. The report of the other auditors includes an explanatory paragraph which states that the financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2004 and cumulative amounts since inception to December 31, 2004 have been restated.

    We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

    In our opinion, based on our audit and the report of other auditors, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Zion Oil & Gas, Inc. (a development stage enterprise) as of December 31, 2005, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2005 and for the period April 6, 2000 (inception) to December 31, 2005, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

    The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in note 1 to the financial statements, the Company is in its development stage and has no operating revenue, limited capital resources and a loss from operations, all of which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

    Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm for 2004

    Board of Directors and Stockholders

    Zion Oil & Gas, Inc.

     

    We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Zion Oil & Gas, Inc. (a development stage company) as of December 31, 2004, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended and cumulative amounts from April 6, 2000 (inception) to December 31, 2004. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

    We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

    In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Zion Oil & Gas, Inc. as of December 31, 2004, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended and cumulative amounts since inception to December 31, 2004, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

    As described in Note 3 to the financial statements, the financial statements as of and for the year ended and cumulative amounts since inception to December 31, 2004 have been restated.

    The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company is in its development stage and has insignificant operating revenue. In addition, the Company has limited capital resources and has initiated a new phase of activity, all of which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also discussed in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

    ZION OIL & GAS, INC.
    (A Development Stage Company)
    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

    1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

    Nature of Operations

    Effective July 9, 2003, Zion Oil & Gas, Inc., a Florida corporation ("Zion Florida") was merged into its wholly owned Delaware subsidiary, Zion Oil & Gas, Inc. (the Company), the purpose of which was solely to reincorporate from Florida to Delaware in anticipation of a public offering. Upon the reincorporation, all the outstanding shares of common stock in Zion Florida were converted into common stock of the Company on a one-to-one basis and all the outstanding shares of preferred stock in Zion Florida were converted into common stock of the Company at the ratio of twelve shares of common for each share of preferred stock. All of the outstanding warrants and options of Zion Florida were converted into equivalent warrants and options of the Company.

    The Company holds a petroleum exploration license on approximately 98,100 acres of unproved properties in north-central Israel called the "Ma'anit-Joseph License", issued to the Company by the State of Israel. The term on the license expires April 30, 2007 and it contained a commitment to drill or reenter a well on or before April 30, 2005.

    On April 10, 2005 the Company commenced the reentry of the Ma'anit #1 and deepening of the well. On July 19, 2005 the well reached a depth of 15,509 feet and testing and completion began thereafter. During drilling and completion operations, the well had numerous significant oil and gas shows in different zones. At present, completion operations on the Ma'anit #1 well have been temporarily suspended and the drilling rig has been released. On March 15, 2006, the terms of the license were amended to provide that the Company commence the drilling of a new well to a depth of at least 4,400 meters or reenter the Ma'anit #1 well on or before March 1, 2007. The Company's engineers are designing a comprehensive completion procedure using a smaller and less expensive completion rig for the purpose of reentering the Ma'anit #1 well.

    Declaration of a commercial discovery on the Ma'anit-Joseph License prior to the end of the license term, as may in certain circumstances be extended, will entitle the Company to receive a 30-year lease (extendable on certain conditions for an additional 20 years) subject to compliance with a field development work program and production.

    Effective August 1, 2005, the Company received formal notification and documentation from the Minister of National Infrastructures and the Petroleum Commissioner granting the Company's application for a Preliminary Permit with Priority Rights for an area covering approximately 121,100 acres abutting on and immediately to the north of the Ma'anit-Joseph License. The permit is designated the "Asher" Permit and covers lands on Israel's coastal plain and Mt. Carmel range. The Asher Permit is for an 18-month period and is subject to a work program, with an estimated total cost as adjusted for the amended work program of $265,000, which requires the Company to perform certain geological and geophysical work. Upon satisfactory performance in accordance with the work program, as amended on May 16, 2006, the Company will have priority rights for the grant of an exploration license for a period of up to seven years for a portion of the Asher Permit area not to exceed 400,000 dunam (approximately 98,800 acres), subject to the fulfillment of the requirements of the Petroleum Law. Work on the program is in progress.

    Operations in Israel are conducted through a branch office and the License and Permit are held directly in the name of the Company. At present it is expected that all future income will be derived from Israeli operations.

    Basis of Presentation

    The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. Since the Company is in the development stage, it has limited capital resources, no revenue, and a loss from operations. The appropriateness of using the going concern basis is dependent upon the Company's ability to obtain additional financing or equity capital to finance its current operations and, ultimately, to achieve profitable operations. The uncertainty of these conditions has created substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

    (A Development Stage Company)
    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

    1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (CONTINUED)

    Management Presentation and Liquidity

    On February 17, 2004, the registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission was declared effective to offer 7,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock to the public. The minimum offering requirement of $6,500,000 was not subscribed by the offering termination date of August 30, 2004. As a result, no securities were sold to the public, all escrow subscription funds (approximately $3.7 million) that had been received relating to the offering were sent back to the subscribers by the escrow agent, and the Company removed from registration the 7,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock. Since then, Management raised capital through debt and private offerings, and subsequent to the balance sheet date filed a registration statement for a public offering with a lower minimum of $2,450,000. Management intends to continue to use the proceeds from debt and/or equity sales to explore for and develop oil and gas reserves in Israel. The Company believes that these actions will enable the Company to carry out its business plan and to achieve profitable operations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations, and changes in financial position have been included.

    2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    Financial Statements in United States Dollars

    The currency of the primary economic environment in which the operations of the Company are conducted is the United States dollar ("dollar"). Therefore, the dollar has been determined to be the Company's functional currency. Non-dollar transactions and balances have been translated into dollars in accordance with the principles set forth in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 52 "Foreign Currency Translation" (SFAS No. 52).

    Transactions in foreign currency (primarily in New Israeli Shekels - "NIS") are recorded at the exchange rate as of the transaction date except for activities relating to balance sheet items which are recorded at the appropriate exchange rate of the corresponding balance sheet item. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are translated on the basis of the representative rate of exchange at the balance sheet date. Non monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are translated at historical exchange rates. All exchange gains and losses from remeasurement of monetary balance sheet items denominated in non-dollar currencies are reflected in the statement of operations as they arise.

    Cash and Cash Equivalents

    The Company maintains its cash balance at two banks with one bank located in the United States and one bank located in Israel. For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

    Inventories

    Inventories include equipment and materials to be used in future drilling and completion operations and are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is determined by the weighted average method.

    Oil and Gas Properties

    The Company follows the full-cost method of accounting for oil and gas properties. Accordingly, all costs associated with acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas reserves, including directly related overhead costs, are capitalized.

    All capitalized costs of oil and gas properties, including the estimated future costs to develop proved reserves, are amortized on the unit-of-production method using estimates of proved reserves. Investments in unproved properties and major development projects are not amortized until proved reserves associated with the projects can be determined or until impairment occurs. All costs included are reviewed to determine if impairment has occurred. The amount of any impairment is transferred to the capitalized costs being amortized or a charge is made against earnings for those operations where a reserve base has not yet been established.

    (A Development Stage Company)
    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

    2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

    Oil and Gas Properties (Continued)

    Abandonments of properties are accounted for as adjustments to capitalized costs with no loss recognized. During the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 no unproved property was found to be impaired. The net capitalized costs are subject to a "ceiling test" which limits such costs to the aggregate of the estimated present value of future net revenues from proved reserves discounted at ten percent based on current economic and operating conditions, plus the lower of cost or fair market value of unproved properties. The recoverability of amounts capitalized for oil and gas properties is dependent upon the identification of economically recoverable reserves, together with obtaining the necessary financing to exploit such reserves and the achievement of profitable operations.

    The Company's present operations, as disclosed in Note 1 above, are dependent on one petroleum exploration license in respect of which one well requiring further evaluation has been drilled and the planning of a second well is under way. The license is subject to regulations of the Petroleum Law and currently is due to expire on April 30, 2007. The Company will need to raise additional capital in order to comply with the requirements of the license. The Company has no economically recoverable reserves and no amortization base. Unproved oil and gas properties consist of capitalized exploration costs (all of which are excluded from the amortization base) of $6,296,291 for the year ended December 31, 2005, $598,475 for the year ended December 31, 2004 and $797,734 from inception (April 6, 2000) to December 31, 2003.

    Property and Equipment

    Property and equipment other than oil and gas property and equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated over their estimated useful lives of three to fourteen years. Depreciation charged to expense amounted to $5,358 and $80 for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and $5,843 for the period April 6, 2000 (inception) to December 31, 2005.

    Costs Associated With Public and Private Offerings

    Costs associated with each specific private or public offering are accumulated until either the closing of the offering or its abandonment. If the offering is abandoned, the costs are expensed in the period the offering is abandoned. If the offering is completed and funds are raised, the accumulated costs are recorded as a reduction to the paid-in capital attributable to the offering. Financing costs not attributable to any specific offering are charged to expense as incurred.

    Use of Estimates

    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting year. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

    Income Taxes

    Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

    2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

    Stock-Based Compensation

    The Company applies the fair-value based method of accounting for all of its stock-based compensation plans in accordance with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board's Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("Statement 123").

    The fair value of stock-based compensation granted to employees and directors prior to July 15, 2003, the date of the Company's first filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, in connection with its IPO, was estimated on the date of grant using the minimum-value method as permitted for private entities under Statement No. 123.

    The fair value of stock-based compensation granted to employees and directors subsequent to July 15, 2003, is measured according to the Black Scholes option-pricing model and recognized over the requisite service period.

    Stock-Based Compensation - Non-employees

    Non-employee grants have been treated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123 and EITF 96-18. Compensation costs of fully-vested non-forfeitable equity instruments have been reflected at their fair value on the date of grant.

    Environmental Costs

    Liabilities for expenditures are recorded when environmental assessment and/or remediation is probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated.

    Net Loss per Share Data

    Basic and diluted net loss per common share is presented in conformity with the SFAS No. 128 "Earnings Per Share". Diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share as the inclusion of 668,200 and 977,334 common stock equivalents in 2005 and 2004, respectively, would be anti-dilutive.

    Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

    SFAS 123R - Share-Based Payments: In December 2004, FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), "Share-Based Payments" ("SFAS 123R"). SFAS 123R requires entities to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award and recognize the cost over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. SFAS 123R does not change the accounting guidance for share-based payment transaction with parties other than employees provided in SFAS 123 as originally issued and EITF Issue No. 96-18, "Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services". The Company is required to adopt SFAS 123R effective January 1, 2006.

    The Company will implement SFAS 123R as of January 1, 2006 using the modified prospective method. For all awards that will be issued or modified after the adoption of SFAS 123R, compensation expense will be recognized in the Company's financial statements over the requisite service period, net of estimated forfeitures, and based on the fair value as of the grant date.

    The adoption of SFAS 123R will not have a material effect on the Company.

    Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards (Continued)

    SFAS 151 - Inventory Costs, an Amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin ("ARB") No. 43: In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, "Inventory Costs - an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 43, Chapter 4" ("SFAS 151"). The amendments made by SFAS 151 clarify that abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and wasted materials (spoilage) should be recognized as current-period charges and require the allocation of fixed production overheads to inventory based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. The guidance is effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The adoption of this statement is not expected to result in a material impact on the Company's financial position and results of operations.

    SFAS 153 - Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, an Amendment of Accounting Principles Bulletin (APB) Opinion No. 29, "Accounting for Nonmonetary Transaction": In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, "Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets - an amendment of Accounting Principles Bulletin (APB) Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions" ("SFAS 153"). The guidance in APB Opinion No. 29 is based on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. The guidance in Opinion No. 29, however, included certain exceptions to that principle. SFAS 153 amends Opinion No. 29 to eliminate the exception for nonmonetary assets exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. SFAS 153 is effective for fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005 and shall be applied prospectively. The adoption of this statement is not expected to result in a material impact on the Company's financial position and results of operations.

    SFAS 154 - Accounting Changes and Errors Corrections: In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, "Accounting Changes and Errors Corrections" ("SFAS 154"). SFAS 154 replaces APB Opinion No. 20, "Accounting Changes", and FASB Statement No. 3, "Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements", although it carries forward some of their provisions. SFAS 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods' financial statements of changes in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. A change in depreciation, amortization, or depletion method for long-lived, nonfinancial assets will be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate effected by a change in accounting principle. SFAS 154 is effective for changes in accounting principle made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 154 to have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

    3. RESTATEMENT OF PRIOR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

    The financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005 (previously unaudited) and 2004 and for the period from inception (April 6, 2000) until December 31, 2005 (previously unaudited) and December 31, 2004 have been restated to reflect additional expenses related to stock warrants issued to employees and non-employees during the above mentioned periods and compensation cost with respect to equity awards provided with new debt issuances and/or debt modification.

    The following tables present the impact of the financial statements adjustments on the Company's previously announced statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2004 and/or the period from inception (April 6, 2000) until December 31, 2004 and on the balance sheet as of December 31, 2004 and the impact of the financial statements adjustments on the Company's previously announced unaudited statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2005 and/or the period from inception (April 6, 2000) until December 31, 2005 and on the balance sheet as of December 31, 2005.

    4. PROVISION FOR SEVERANCE PAY

    Israeli law generally requires payment of severance pay upon dismissal of an employee or upon termination of employment in certain other circumstances. The following principal plans relate to the employees in Israel:

    • The liability in respect of certain of the company's employees is discharged in part by participating in a defined contribution pension plan and making regular deposits with recognized pension funds. The deposits are based on certain components of the salaries of the said employees. The custody and management of the amounts so deposited are independent of the company's control and accordingly such amounts funded (included in expenses on an accrual basis) and related liabilities are not reflected in the balance sheet.
    • Part of the liability is discharged by deposits made with severance pay funds.
    • The liability for severance pay is calculated on the basis of the latest salary paid to each employee multiplied by the number of years of employment. The liability is covered by the amounts deposited including accumulated income thereon as well as by the unfunded provision.
    • The expenses in respect of severance pay for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 and the period from April 6, 2000 to December 31, 2005 amounted to $7,096, $24,221 and $41,774, respectively.
    • Withdrawals from the funds may be made only upon termination of employment.
    • As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company has a provision for severance pay of $48,318 and $35,985, respectively. As of December 31, 2005 and 2004 the Company has $6,544 and $4,668 respectively, deposited in funds managed by major Israeli banks which are earmarked to cover severance pay liability. Such deposits are not considered to be "plan assets" and are therefore included in other assets.

    The Company has reserved 668,200 shares of common stock as of December 31, 2005 for the exercise of warrants and options to employees and non-employees. These warrants and options have been excluded from earnings per share calculations because they are anti-dilutive at December 31, 2005. These warrants and options could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in future years. The warrants and options exercise prices and expiration dates are as follows:

    Fair Value of Warrants and Options

    The Company applies the fair-value based method of accounting for all of its stock-based compensation plans in accordance with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board's Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("Statement 123").

    The fair value of stock-based compensation granted to employees and directors prior to July 15, 2003, the date of the Company's first filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, in connection with its IPO, was estimated on the date of grant using the minimum-value method as permitted for private entities under Statement No. 123.

    The fair value of stock-based compensation granted to employees and directors subsequent to July 15, 2003, is measured according to the Black Scholes option-pricing model and recognized over the requisite service period.

    2005 Stock Option Plan

    Prior to 2005, no stock option plan was adopted by the Company.

    During 2005, a stock option plan (the "Plan") was adopted by the Company, pursuant to which 1,000,000 shares of common stock are reserved for issuance to officers, directors, employees and consultants. The Plan will be administered by the Board of Directors or one or more committees appointed by the board (the "Administrator").

    The Plan contemplates the issuance of stock options by the Company both as a private company and as a publicly traded company and will be available to residents of the United States, the State of Israel and other jurisdictions as determined by the Administrator. The award of stock options under the Plan will be made pursuant to an agreement between the Company and each grantee. The agreement will, among other provisions, specify the number of shares subject to the option, intended tax qualifications, the exercise price, any vesting provisions and the term of the stock option grant, all of which shall be determined on behalf of the Company by the Administrator. The Plan will remain in effect for a term of ten years unless terminated or extended according to its provisions. No awards have yet been made under the Plan. See Note 11.

    *Restated (see Note 3)

    In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible and tax carryforwards are utilizable. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. In order to fully realize the deferred tax asset, the Company will need to generate future taxable income of approximately $11,671,000 prior to the expiration of some of the net operating loss carryforwards between 2020 and 2025. The Company has had no taxable income since inception. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize the benefits of these deductible differences and tax carryforwards.

    At December 31, 2005, the Company has available net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $3,778,314 to reduce future U. S. taxable income. These amounts expire from 2020 to 2025. The Company's ability to benefit from the current and prior year net operating loss carryforwards could be limited pursuant to Internal Revenue Code 382 as a result of prior ownership changes. An ownership change occurs when the ownership percentage of 5% or greater stockholders changes by more than 50% over a three year period. The Company is in the process of evaluating whether or not there has been an ownership change and if such change creates any potential impact on the future utilization of the net operating loss carryforwards.

    Income earned from activities in Israel is subject to regular Israeli tax rates. For Israeli tax purposes, exploration costs on unproved properties are expensed. Losses can be carried forward indefinitely, linked to the increase in the Israeli Consumer Price Index. At December 31, 2005, the Company has available net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $7,985,337 to reduce future Israeli taxable income.

    The Company is engaged in oil and gas exploration and production and may become subject to certain liabilities as they relate to environmental cleanup of well sites or other environmental restoration procedures as they relate to the drilling of oil and gas wells or the operation thereof. Although environmental assessments are conducted on all purchased properties, in the Company's acquisition of existing or previously drilled well bores, the Company may not be aware of what environmental safeguards were taken at the time such wells were drilled or during such time the wells were operated.

    Should it be determined that a liability exists with respect to any environmental clean up or restoration, the liability to cure such a violation could fall upon the Company. No claim has been made, nor is the Company aware of any rules or contingent demands relating thereto. Liabilities for expenditures are recorded when environmental assessment and/or remediation is probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated.

    Royalty Commitments

    The Company is obligated, according to the Israeli Petroleum Law, 5712-1952 (the "Petroleum Law"), to pay royalties to the Government of Israel on the gross production of oil and gas from the oil and gas properties of the Company located in Israel (except those reserves serving to operate the wells and related equipment and facilities). The royalty rate stated in the Petroleum Law is 12.5% of the produced reserves. At December 31, 2005, the Company did not have any outstanding obligation in respect to royalty payments, since it is at the "exploration stage" and, to this date, no proved reserves have been found.

    Long Term Incentive Plan

    The Company has initiated the establishment of a long term management incentive plan for key employees whereby a 1.5% overriding royalty or equivalent interest in the Ma'anit-Joseph License and such other oil and gas exploration and development rights as may in the future be acquired by the Company shall be assigned to key employees.

    Charitable Trusts

    The Company has initiated the establishment of two charitable trusts based in Israel and in the United States for the purpose of supporting charitable projects and other charities in Israel and the United States. A 3% overriding royalty or equivalent interest in the Ma'anit-Joseph License and such other oil and gas exploration and development rights as may in the future be acquired by the Company shall be assigned to each charitable organization (6% overriding interest in the aggregate).

    Surface Rights of Drilling Operations

    Surface rights necessary to conduct drilling operations in connection with the reentry and deepening of the Ma'anit #1 well were acquired from Kibbutz Ma'anit for the period through September 30, 2005. An agreement has been reached with the kibbutz for continued use of the surface rights through the termination of the license, currently April 30, 2007. Agreement of the Israel Lands Authority for the use of the surface rights is also required, which agreement must be granted under the terms of the Petroleum Law. The Company expects to receive the agreement before commencement of any further operation on the Ma'anit #1 well.

    Payment to executives

    Under existing employment contracts the Company is committed to pay its executives amounts totaling approximately $945,000 each year.

    Underwriting Agreement

    Under an underwriting agreement, the Company has agreed to pay the Underwriter a 24-month financial advisory and investment banking fee for an aggregate amount of $60,000 payable in full at the closing of the proposed offering in the minimum aggregate amount of $4,000,000.

    In addition, the Underwriter will receive warrants (the "Underwriter's Warrants") to purchase up to 5% of the shares sold by it and other Placement Agents at a price of $8.75 per share (or 125% of the offering price). The Underwriter's Warrants are exercisable for a period of three years, beginning six months after the final closing and expiring three years after the date of the initial closing, provided, however, that in no event shall the Underwriter be entitled to Underwriter's Warrants to purchase less than 2.5% of the aggregate Shares sold in the offering. The warrants will be issued at their fair value at the closing date.

    Lease Commitments (Continued)

    During July 2005, the Company entered into a rental commitment for office premises in the industrial area of Caesarea, Israel. The rental is for a six-month period commencing August 1, 2005 with two additional three-month option periods. Rental cost is $2,800 per month. Management expects that, in the normal course of business, leases that expire will be renewed by other leases; thus it is anticipated that future minimum lease commitments will not be less than the amount shown for the year ending December 31, 2005. The Company extended the rental for two additional six month periods through January 31, 2008.

    Rent expense for all operating leases recorded on a straight line basis was approximately $65,428 and $36,664, net of month-to-month sublease income of $12,560 and $21,840 for 2005 and 2004, respectively. The future minimum lease payments are as follows:
