Business
 
General
 
We were incorporated on May 14, 2004 in Nevada. Between May 2004 and May 2007 we were relatively inactive. We originally intended to pursue promotional merchandising, but were unable to identify a sufficient number of suitable products for redistribution. In May 2007, we redirected our focus to the acquisition, exploration, and development of oil and gas properties.  Accordingly, during July 2007, we changed our name from Dujour Products, Inc. to Endeavor Energy Corporation. On September 25, 2007 we changed our name to Holloman Energy Corporation.
 
All of our exploration and development efforts are concentrated in Australia. We hold working interests in exploration licenses covering 4,544 square kilometers (1.125 million gross acres) located on the western flank of Australia’s Cooper Basin.
 
We are currently controlled by Holloman Corporation, a Texas corporation involved in the engineering and construction of pipelines and mid-stream gas processing facilities.
 
We are an exploration stage company and did not participate in drilling any wells during the year ended December 31, 2009.
 
As of March 15, 2010 we did not have any proven oil or gas reserves and we did not have any revenue.

The acquisition and disposal of Endeavor Canada
 
On August 3, 2007 we acquired Endeavor Canada Corporation (“Endeavor Canada”), an Alberta corporation involved in the exploration and development of oil and gas, for 9,000 shares of our Series A Preferred stock and 9,000,000 shares of the Class A preferred stock of our wholly owned subsidiary, First Endeavor Holdings. Each Series A Preferred share was convertible into one share of our common stock and was entitled to 1,000 votes on any matter submitted to our shareholders for approval. The Class A preferred shares of First Endeavor Holdings were, at the option of the holder of the shares, convertible into 9,000,000 shares of our common stock. Cameron King, one of our former officers and directors, owned a controlling interest in Endeavor Canada at the time of this transaction and received 6,500 Series A Preferred shares and 6,500,000 First Endeavor Holdings Class A preferred shares in exchange for his shares in Endeavor Canada.
 
During January 2008, we determined that the oil and gas assets held by Endeavor Canada did not warrant further investment. On February 15, 2008 we disposed of our interest in Endeavor Canada. As part of this process, we transferred all outstanding shares of Endeavor Canada to Cameron King. As part of the consideration for the purchase, the 6,500 shares of our Series A Preferred stock and the 6,500,000 Class A Preferred shares of First Endeavor Holdings previously issued to Mr. King were returned to us and cancelled. At the option of the remaining preferred stockholders, the residual 2,500 shares of our Series A Preferred stock and 2,500,000 preferred shares of FEH were converted into an equivalent number of shares of our common stock during June 2008.
 
As of February 15, 2008 Endeavor Canada had a 100% working interest in one well, a 50% working interest in four wells, a 40% working interest in seven wells and working interests of 25% or less in two wells. Six of these wells were producing a total of approximately 2,540 mcf of gas per month (1,140 mcf of gas net to Endeavor Canada’s working interest in these wells) and the remaining eight wells were shut in due to required maintenance or the price of natural gas.
 
Our Australian assets
 
In May 2007 we acquired a 62.5% working interest in an offshore Australian oil and gas exploration permit area known as Victoria Permit 60 (“Vic P60”). We paid $639,487 in cash plus a 4.00% overriding royalty participation for this interest.
 
On November 21, 2007 we acquired Holloman Petroleum Pty. Ltd. (“Holloman Petroleum”) for 18,600,000 shares of our common stock. Holloman Petroleum’s assets consisted of working interests, varying between 37.5% and 100%, in seven oil and gas permits awarded by the Australian government. These permits, which had remaining terms expiring between October 2010 and June 2013, cover 4,554 square kilometers (1,125,317 acres) of land in the Cooper/Eromanga Basin and 2,589 square kilometers (639,755 acres) offshore in the Gippsland Basin and the Barrow Sub-Basin.
 
Onshore licenses –Cooper Basin
 
We hold working interests of 66.67% in two onshore Petroleum Exploration Licenses (PELs) in Australia. PEL 112 is comprised of 2,196 square kilometers (542,643 gross acres). PEL 444, which resulted from the consolidation of the PEL 108 and PEL109 permits, is comprised of 2,358 square kilometers (582,674 gross acres). Both licenses are located on the southwestern flank of the Cooper Basin in the State of South Australia. We are obligated to pay 4.77% in royalties on revenues generated by operations on these licenses.
 
The Department of Primary Industries and Resources of South Australia reports that the Cooper Basin has sourced over 4 billion barrels of oil and 5 trillion cubic feet of recoverable gas. It has in excess 120,000 kilometers of 2-D seismic data and more than 1,200 wells in 65 oil and 20 gas fields. Our management believes that Australia provides a stable regulatory, tax and business environment.
 
In June 2008 the Australian government extended the lease term and associated work programs for PEL 444 and PEL 112 by five years. Under Australian Law, at the end of each five year term, one third of the area covered by a petroleum exploration license must be relinquished. During June 2008, we identified and relinquished one-third of the acreage covered by PEL 112 and PEL 444 to the Australian government.

To maintain our exploration rights in the Cooper/Eromanga Basin, the Australian Government requires that we fulfill the following minimum work commitments:
 
License
 
Description of Minimum Work Obligation
 
Date of Required Completion
PEL 112
 
Reprocessing of seismic data on hand – 2D
 
June 11, 2010
PEL 112
 
Acquisition of new seismic data – 2D (100 sq km)
 
June 11, 2011
PEL 112
 
Geological and geophysical testing
 
June 11, 2012
PEL 112
 
Drill one well
 
June 11, 2013
PEL 444
 
Reprocessing of seismic data on hand – 2D
 
June 11, 2010
PEL 444
 
Acquisition of new seismic data – 2D (200 sq km)
 
June 11, 2011
PEL 444
 
Geological and geophysical testing
 
June 11, 2012
PEL 444
 
Drill one well
 
June 11, 2013
 
The farmin agreement through which we hold our working interests in PEL 112 and PEL 444 also obligates us to fulfill the drilling commitment set forth by the Australian Government.  Early estimates indicate the costs to perform the minimum required work on the Cooper Basin licenses would range from $8.5 million to $10 million.
 
Based on technical recommendations, however, we intend to pursue the acquisition of a combination of 3-D and 2-D seismic data on our leases. Our current exploration plan also calls for the drilling of more than the two wells required in the minimum work program.  Early estimates indicate the costs to perform the work outlined in our current Cooper Basin exploration plan would range from $27 million to $30 million.
 
On March 7, 2008 we entered into a contingent agreement with Holloman Oil & Gas Limited (“Holloman Oil & Gas”). If pursued, the agreement grants Holloman Oil & Gas the right to earn our two-thirds working interest in PEL 112. To earn this working interest, Holloman Oil & Gas agreed to:
 
 
1.
Fund the costs required to drill, and if warranted, complete three wells on the PEL 112 within the timeframes required by the permit work program; and
 
 
2.
Pay us a 1.33% overriding royalty on gross revenues generated from the sale of any oil or gas produced from wells drilled on the PEL 112.
 
Under the contingent agreement, we would have the right to earn up to a one-third working interest in the PEL 112 concession by paying, prior to the time any well has reached 50% of the expected total depth, our proportionate share of the cost of drilling any of the wells involved in the three-well drilling program. We would also have the right to earn up to a one-third working interest in any future wells drilled on the PEL 112 (over and above the initial three-well drilling program) by paying our proportionate share of the cost of drilling the wells.
 
In March 2008 Holloman Oil & Gas drilled an exploratory well on PEL 112. The well was drilled to approximately 6,000 feet and was a dry hole.
 
In 2009 we retained Macquarie Tristone Capital (“Tristone”) to assist us in finding a joint venture partner to share all, or part, of the costs of exploring and developing our Cooper Basin concessions. We are under no obligation to accept any transaction proposed by Tristone. We have also expanded independent geological and geophysical research on our Cooper Basin licenses.
 
In connection with our search for joint venture partners, Tristone has prepared and managed data rooms presenting technical, environmental and economic information related to our Cooper Basin holdings. The data rooms were opened on January 14, 2010 for research by qualified parties subject to a strict confidentiality agreement. Non-binding joint venture proposals were solicited March 9, 2010. We have received multiple offers or firm expressions of interest from potential joint venture partners as a result of this process. We are currently reviewing the content of these proposals to determine which, if any, are acceptable to us.

During 2009, we actively sought joint venture partners for our oil and gas concessions and pursued financing to support seismic acquisition in the Cooper/Eromanga Basin. During 2010, we anticipate the establishment of joint venture operations, obtaining additional capital, and the pursuit of our Cooper Basin exploration plan.
 
Offshore permits – Gippsland Basin and Barrow Sub-Basin
 
In May 2007 we acquired a 62.5% working interest in an offshore Australian oil and gas exploration permit area known as Victoria Permit 60 (“Vic P60”). In connection with our acquisition of Holloman Petroleum we acquired the remaining 37.5%, working interest in that permit. The Barrow Sub-Basin permits were also acquired through our acquisition of Holloman Petroleum.
 
The Vic P60 permit obligated us to drill a deep-sea exploration well by October 28, 2010. The Barrow Sub-Basin permits (WA-372P, WA-373P and WA-395P) required us to drill 12 offshore exploration wells between June 2010 and June 2013. Both the Barrow and Vic P60 permits also required the acquisition of significant amounts of 3D seismic data.  Early estimates indicate the costs to perform the required work on the Barrow and Vic P60 permits would be in excess of $220,500,000.
 
Despite our best efforts, we were unable to identify a joint venture partner willing to undertake the obligations associated with those permits, and felt it unlikely that we could do so in the current economic climate. Our work requirements to hold the permits had fallen behind schedule. Further, we recognized that continued pursuit of these permits would detract from our ability to maximize the value of our Cooper/Eromanga Basin holdings.  As a result, we determined that it was in our best interest to relinquish our exploration rights in the Gippsland Basin and Barrow Sub-Basin.
 
On June 18, 2009 we requested procedural advice from the Australian government concerning relinquishment of our Barrow Sub-Basin permits. On August 5, 2009 the government returned a Notice of Intent to Cancel those permits. On October 16, 2009 the permits were cancelled.
 
On December 28, 2009 we requested procedural advice from the Australian government concerning relinquishment of the Vic P60 permit. On January 6, 2010 the government returned a Notice of Intent to Cancel that permit. We are awaiting the date of final cancellation.
 
Competition
 
The petroleum and natural gas industry is highly competitive. Numerous independent oil and gas companies, oil and gas syndicates and major oil and gas companies actively seek out and bid for oil and gas properties as well as for the services of third party providers, such as drilling companies, upon which we rely. In the Cooper Basin, seismic and drilling contractors are limited. In large part, their schedules are controlled by demand from Santos Petroleum and other exploration giants in the area. A substantial number of our competitors have longer operating histories and substantially greater financial and personnel resources than we do, and have demonstrated the ability to operate through industry cycles.
 
Some of our competitors not only explore for, produce and market petroleum and natural gas, but also carry out refining operations and market the resultant products on a worldwide basis which may provide them with additional sources of capital. Larger and better capitalized competitors may be in a position to outbid us for particular prospect rights. These competitors may also be better able to withstand sustained periods of unsuccessful drilling. Larger competitors may be able to absorb the burden of any changes in laws and regulations more easily than we can, which would adversely affect our competitive position.
 
Petroleum and natural gas producers also compete with other suppliers of energy and fuel to industrial, commercial and individual customers. Competitive conditions may be substantially affected by various forms of energy legislation and/or regulation considered from time to time by the governments and/or their agencies and other factors which are out of our control including, international political conditions, terrorism, overall levels of supply and demand for oil and gas, and the markets for synthetic fuels and alternative energy sources.

Regulation
 
The exploration, production and sale of oil and gas are extensively regulated by governmental authorities. Applicable legislation is under constant review for amendment or expansion. These efforts frequently result in an increase in the regulatory burden on companies in our industry and consequently an increase in the cost of doing business and decrease in profitability. Numerous governmental departments and agencies are authorized to, and have, issued rules and regulations imposing additional burdens on the oil and gas industry that often are costly to comply with and carry substantial penalties for non-compliance. Production operations are affected by changing tax and other laws relating to the petroleum industry, by constantly changing administrative regulations and possible interruptions or termination by government authorities.
 
Oil and gas mineral rights may be held by individuals, corporations or governments having jurisdiction over the area in which such mineral rights are located. As a general rule, parties holding such mineral rights grant licenses or leases to third parties to facilitate the exploration and development of these mineral rights. The terms of the leases and licenses are generally established to require timely development. Notwithstanding the ownership of mineral rights, the government of the jurisdiction in which mineral rights are located generally retains authority over the drilling and operation of oil and gas wells.
 
Environmental considerations
 
Our operations are also subject to a variety of constantly changing laws and regulations governing the discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise relating to environmental protection. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations can result in the imposition of substantial fines and penalties as well as potential orders suspending or terminating our rights to operate. Some environmental laws to which we are subject provide for strict liability for pollution damage, rendering a person liable for environmental damage without regard to negligence or fault on the part of such person. In addition, we may be subject to claims alleging personal injury or property damage as a result of alleged exposure to hazardous substances, such as oil and gas related products or for other reasons.
 
Some environmental protection laws and regulations may expose us to liability arising out of the conduct of operations or conditions caused by others, or for acts which were in compliance with all applicable laws at the time the acts were performed. Changes in environmental laws and regulations, or claims for damages to persons, property, natural resources or the environment, could result in substantial costs and liabilities to us. These laws and regulations may substantially increase the cost of exploring, developing, producing or processing oil and gas and may prevent or delay the commencement or continuation of a given project and thus generally could have a material adverse effect upon our capital expenditures, earnings, or competitive position. We believe that we are in substantial compliance with current applicable environmental laws and regulations. Nevertheless, changes in existing environmental laws and regulations or in the interpretations thereof could have a significant impact on us and the oil and gas industry in general.
 
Risks
 
Our failure of to obtain capital may significantly restrict our proposed operations
 
We need additional capital to fund operating losses and to explore for oil and gas. We do not know what the terms of any future capital raising may be, but any future sale of our equity securities would dilute the ownership of existing stockholders and could be at prices substantially below the market price of our common stock. We may not be able to obtain the capital which we need.
 
We have never earned a profit
 
We expect to incur losses during the foreseeable future and we may never be profitable. To enable us to continue in business we will eventually need to earn a profit or obtain additional financing until we are able to earn a profit.
 
Oil and gas exploration is not an exact science, and involves a high degree of risk
 
Our primary exploration risk lies in the drilling of dry holes or drilling and completing wells which, though productive, do not produce gas and/or oil in sufficient amounts to return the amounts expended and produce a profit. Hazards, such as unusual or unexpected formation pressures, downhole fires, blowouts, loss of circulation of drilling fluids and other conditions are involved in drilling and completing oil and gas wells and, if such hazards are encountered, completion of any well may be substantially delayed or prevented. In addition, adverse weather conditions can hinder or delay operations, as can shortages of equipment and materials or unavailability of drilling, completion, and/or work-over rigs. Even though a well is completed and is found to be productive, water and/or other substances may be encountered in the well, which may impair or prevent production or marketing of oil or gas from the well.  Exploratory drilling involves substantially greater economic risks than development drilling because the percentage of wells completed as producing wells is usually less than in development drilling. Exploratory drilling itself can be of varying degrees of risk and can generally be divided into higher risk attempts to discover a reservoir in a completely unproven area or relatively lower risk efforts in areas not too distant from existing reservoirs. While exploration adjacent to or near existing reservoirs may be more likely to result in the discovery of oil and gas than in completely unproven areas, exploratory efforts are nevertheless high risk activities.
 
 
6

 
 
Although the completion of oil and gas wells is, to a certain extent, less risky than drilling for oil and gas, the process of completing an oil or gas well is nevertheless associated with considerable risk. In addition, even if a well is completed as a producer, the well for a variety of reasons may not produce sufficient oil or gas in order to repay our investment in the well.
 
The acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas properties and the production and sale of oil and gas are subject to many factors which are outside our control
 
These factors include, among others, general economic conditions, proximity to pipelines, oil import quotas, supply, demand, and price of other fuels and the regulation of production, refining, transportation, pricing, marketing and taxation by federal, state, and local governmental authorities.
 
The drilling of oil and gas wells involves hazards such as blowouts, unusual or unexpected formations, pressures or other conditions which could result in substantial losses or liabilities to third parties
 
Although we believe the coverage and types of insurance we maintain are currently adequate, we may not be insured against all losses because insurance may not be available, premium costs may be deemed unduly high, or for other reasons. Accordingly, uninsured liabilities could result in significant losses and have a material adverse effect on our operations.
 
Other
 
We currently have no full-time employees. We use consultants and contractors to provide us, among other things, with executive management and accounting services, and technical engineering support.
 
Other than engineering, geochemical and geophysical programs capitalized in connection with our oil and gas concessions, we have devoted no substantial efforts to research & development within the last two fiscal years.
 
Our offices are located at 333 North Sam Houston Parkway East, Suite 400, Houston, Texas 77060. Our offices are provided, on a month by month basis, by Holloman Corporation, our principal shareholder.

There is currently only a limited market for our common stock. A limited market is characterized by a relatively limited number of shares in the public float, relatively low trading volume and the small number of brokerage firms acting as market makers. The market for low priced securities is generally less liquid and more volatile than securities traded on national stock markets. Fluctuations in market prices are not uncommon. No assurance can be given that the market for our common stock will continue or that the stock price will be maintained.
 
As of March 15, 2010 we had 54 holders of record of our common stock.
 
We have not declared any dividends and we do not plan to declare any dividends in the foreseeable future. We plan to retain earnings to finance the expansion of our operations.
 
On October 6, 2009, we issued 500,000 shares of its common stock, with a fair market value of $204,250, to a third party vendor as compensation for advisory and public relations services.
 
During December 2009, we sold 1,992,820 shares of common stock in a private placement of investment units to Holloman Corporation (1,562,500 investment units), and to certain of our directors and officers (226,154 investment units), and to three non-affiliated parties. The investment units were priced at $0.48 each and consisted of one share of our common stock, and one stock purchase warrant. Each stock purchase warrant entitles the holder to purchase one half share of our common stock at a price of $0.80 per share until December 17, 2012. Proceeds from the private placement totaled $956,553, of which $893,000 was paid in cash and $63,553 was a conversion of indebtedness.
 
We relied upon the exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 in connection with the sale of these securities. We believe our investors had knowledge and experience in financial and business matters which allowed them to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in our securities. We did not pay any underwriting discounts or sales commissions in connection with the issuance of these shares.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2009 we did not purchase any shares of our common stock from third parties in a private transaction in the open market. During the year ended December 31, 2009 none of our officers or directors, or any of our principal shareholders purchased any shares of our common stock on our behalf from third parties in a private transaction or as a result of purchases in the open market.

ITEM 7.          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
 
General
 
Between May 2004 and May 2007 we were relatively inactive.
 
On August 3, 2007 we acquired Endeavor Canada. For accounting purposes, our acquisition of Endeavor Canada constituted a recapitalization and the acquisition was accounted for similar to a reverse merger whereby Endeavor Canada was deemed to have acquired us. As a result, our financial statements reflect the historical operations of Endeavor Canada prior to the merger, and our joint operations for the period from August 3, 2007, the merger date, through February 15, 2008, the date on which we divested of our interest in Endeavor Canada.
 
Following the acquisition of Endeavor Canada, we paid $1,640,000 in principal and accrued interest to Endeavor Canada’s note holders with 1,093,155 shares of our restricted common stock.
 
On February 15, 2008 we sold Endeavor Canada to Mr. King and transferred all outstanding shares of Endeavor Canada to Mr. King. At the time of the sale, the assets of Endeavor Canada included all of our Canadian oil and gas properties.

We have recognized inception to date net losses from the discontinued operations of Endeavor Canada totaling $2,454,637. During February 2008, we recognized a gain upon the divestiture of Endeavor Canada of $783,868.
 
Total consulting, management, office, travel and professional expenses incurred during 2009 decreased by approximately $47,000 (5%) when compared to 2008. This decrease relates to a substantial reduction in international travel expense and fees incurred in connection with our wrap-up and divestiture of Endeavor Canada during 2008. That decrease, however, was offset, in large part, by an increase in administrative costs resulting from the escalation of activity in connection with our Australian assets.
 
The Australian dollar fluctuated broadly against the US dollar during 2008 and 2009. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Australian dollar was convertible into .89 and .69 US dollars, respectively. As a result, our foreign exchange gain of $1,091,047 recognized during 2008 has reversed. During 2009 we recognized a foreign exchange loss of $1,355,095. Substantially all of our non-cash foreign exchange gain/losses relates to the measurement of US dollars required to settle deferred taxes payable to the Australian Government.
 
During 2009, we relinquished all of our offshore oil and gas permits in the Gippsland Basin and the Barrow Sub-Basin. Despite our best efforts, we were unable to identify a joint venture partner willing to undertake the obligations associated with those licenses, and felt it unlikely that we could do so in the current economic climate. Our work requirements to hold the permits had fallen behind schedule. Further, we recognized that continued pursuit of these concessions would detract from our ability to maximize the value of our Cooper Basin holdings. As a result, we determined that it was in our best interest to relinquish our exploration rights in the offshore permits.
 
The value of our unproven properties was impaired to the extent of the carrying value of those permits. Accordingly, we recognized a loss on the impairment of oil and gas assets of $7,396,207. That loss was offset by the recognition of a deferred income tax recovery of $2,244,107.  Oil and gas properties and deposit on acquisition were reduced by $6,756,720 and $639,487, respectively, to reflect the impairment of the permits.
 
On August 15, 2009, we established a Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan and a Stock Bonus Plan (Note 7 to our financial statements). In connection with the plans we recognized non-cash, stock-based compensation expense of $1,255,378 during the year ended December 31, 2009. This compensation expense included non-cash director’s fees of $70,000 and non-cash management fees paid to officers of $42,000.
 
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
The oil and gas industry is cyclical in nature and tends to reflect general economic conditions. The US and other world economies are recovering from a recession which continues to inhibit investment liquidity. Though improved, fluctuating oil and gas prices provide additional uncertainty in capital markets. Our access to capital, as well as that of our partners and contractors, could be limited due to tightened credit markets and may inhibit the formation of exploration ventures and consortiums. As a result, the development of our property interests may be delayed due to financial constraints.

Further, our oil and gas leases are highly sensitive to the market price of oil and the availability of capital required to fulfill our lease obligations in a timely manner. In the event capital remains unavailable for an extended period, the value of our oil and gas leases may be impaired.
 
Early estimates indicate the costs to perform the minimum required work over the life of our Cooper Basin licenses would range from $8.5 million to $10 million. Based upon technical recommendations, however, we intend to pursue the acquisition of a combination of 2-D and 3-Dseismic data on our licenses. Our current exploration plan also calls for the drilling of more than the two wells required in the minimum work program.  Early estimates indicate the costs to perform the work outlined in our current Cooper Basin exploration plan would range from $27 million to $30 million.
 
Our Cooper Basin exploration plan calls to the expenditure of $7 million to $10 million prior to March 31, 2011. We intend to joint venture our work program obligations with third parties which will pay all, or a significant portion, of the costs required to explore for oil and gas in the area covered by our permits.
 
On August 28, 2009 we retained Tristone to assist us in finding a joint venture partner to share all or part of the costs of exploring, and developing our Cooper Basin concessions. We have agreed to pay Tristone work fees of up to CAD$300,000, depending on the extent of services provided, and fees ranging between CAD$800,000 and CAD$1,000,000 if Tristone is successful in arranging a transaction acceptable to us. We are not under any obligation to accept any transaction proposed by Tristone.
 
In September 2008, we entered into an Administrative Services Agreement with our largest shareholder, Holloman Corporation. Beginning September 1, 2008, administrative services fees of $50,000 per month were payable to Holloman Corporation. These fees were paid quarterly in shares of our restricted common stock at the average closing price of the stock for the last ten trading-days of the applicable monthly billing period. In exchange for its fees, Holloman Corporation agreed to provide, among other things; executive consultation, management advice, engineering and geological services, office space, office support, communications, IT support, secretarial services, and the costs of North American travel expenses incurred in connection with the performance its services. The agreement under which these fees are incurred can be terminated by either party with 30-days notice.
 
As part of our cost cutting efforts, we amended our Administrative Service Agreement with Holloman Corporation to cancel fees payable under that agreement through April 30, 2010.  As a result, no such fees were incurred during 2009.
 
Other than the obligations associated with our oil and gas concessions in Australia, we have no material future contractual obligations as of December 31, 2009.
 
Our operations have been financed from the sale of our securities, loans from unrelated third parties and advances from Holloman Corporation, our current and former officers, directors and their affiliates.
 
During 2009, we repaid $840,000 in advances payable to related parties.
 
On May 29, 2009, we issued 9,385,935 restricted shares of our common stock to three persons in settlement of $938,592 in loans and advances payable to these parties. The parties receiving these shares included; Holloman Corporation, a principal shareholder of the Company (6,045,218 shares for debt of $604,520), Open Bay Holdings, a Company controlled by the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer (747,287 shares for debt of $74,729) and an unrelated party (2,593,430 shares for debt of $259,343).
 
During December 2009, we raised $956,553, through the sale of 1,992,820 shares of common stock in a private placement of investment units to Holloman Corporation ($750,000), and to certain of our directors and officers ($156,554), and to three non-affiliated parties. Of the amount raised, $893,000 was paid in cash and $63,553 was a conversion of indebtedness.
 
We believe our plan of operations may require up to $12,000,000 for exploration costs and administrative expenses over the twelve-month period ending March 31, 2011. We are attempting to raise investment capital and enter into joint ventures with third parties who will pay all, or a significant portion of the costs required to explore for oil and gas and otherwise fulfill the obligations required by our Australian licenses.

If we are unable to raise the financing we need, our business plan may fail and our stockholders could lose their investment. If we are unable to perform in accordance with the work programs set forth in our leases, the Australian government could cancel our exploration rights. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising the capital we require, or that if capital is offered, it will be subject to terms we consider acceptable. Investors should be aware that even in the event we are able to raise the funds we require, there can be no assurance that we will succeed in our drilling or production plans and we may never be profitable.
 
As of March 31, 2010 we did not have any off balance sheet arrangements.
 
As of March 31, 2010 we did not have any proven oil or gas reserves and we did not have any revenues.
 
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
Measurement Uncertainty
 
The process of preparing financial statements requires that we 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 period. Such estimates primarily relate to unsettled transactions and events as of the date of the financial statements; accordingly, actual results may differ from estimated amounts. The most significant estimates with regard to the financial statements included with this report relate to carrying values of oil and gas properties, determination of fair values of stock based transactions, and deferred income tax rates and timing of the reversal of income tax differences.
 
These estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically and, as adjustments become necessary they are reported in earnings in the periods in which they become known.
 
Petroleum and Natural Gas Properties
 
We utilize the full cost method to account for our investment in oil and gas properties. Accordingly, all costs associated with acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas reserves, including such costs as leasehold acquisition costs, capitalized interest costs relating to unproved properties, geological expenditures, tangible and intangible development costs including direct internal costs are capitalized to the full cost pool. When we commence production from established proven oil and gas reserves, capitalized costs, including estimated future costs to develop the reserves and estimated abandonment costs, net of salvage, will be depleted on the units-of-production method using estimates of proved reserves. Costs of unproved properties are not amortized until the proved reserves associated with the projects can be determined or until impairment occurs.  If an assessment of such properties indicates that properties are impaired, the amount of impairment is added to the capitalized cost base to be amortized.
 
The capitalized costs included in the full cost pool are subject to a "ceiling test", which limits such costs to the aggregate of the (i) estimated present value, using a ten percent discount rate, of the future net revenues from proved reserve, based on current economic and operating conditions, (ii) the lower of cost or estimated fair value of unproven properties included in the costs being amortized, (iii) the cost of properties not being amortized, less (iv) income tax effects related to differences between the book and tax basis of the cost of properties not being amortized and the cost or estimated fair value of unproved properties included in the costs being amortized.  At December 31, 2009, all of our oil and gas interests were classified as unproven properties and were not being amortized.
 
Sales of proved and unproved properties are accounted for as adjustments of capitalized costs with no gain or loss recognized, unless such adjustments would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves of oil and gas, in which case the gain or loss is recognized in the statement of operations.
 
Foreign Currency Translation
 
Our functional and reporting currency, and that of our Australian subsidiary, is the United States dollar. The financial statements of our former Canadian subsidiary are translated to United States dollars using period-end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, and average rates of exchange for the period for revenues and expenses. Translation gains (losses) are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income as a component of stockholders’ equity. Foreign currency financial statements of our Australian subsidiary use period end rates for monetary assets and liabilities, historical rates for historical cost balances, and average rates for expenses. Tranlation gains and losses are included in the determination of income. Foreign currency transactions are primarily undertaken in Canadian and Australian dollars. As of December 31, 2009, we have not entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.
 
 
11

 
 
Deferred Income Taxes
 
We follow the asset and liability method of accounting for future income taxes. Under this method, future income tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on temporary differences between the carrying amount of balance sheet items and their corresponding tax bases. In addition, the future benefits of income tax assets, including unused tax losses, are recognized, subject to a valuation allowance, to the extent that it is more likely than not that such future benefits will ultimately be realized. Future income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates and laws expected to apply when the tax liabilities or assets are to be either settled or realized.
 
Earnings per share
 
We present both basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share (EPS) on the face of the consolidated statements of operations. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period including convertible debt, stock options, and warrants, using the treasury stock method. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. Diluted EPS figures are equal to those of basic EPS for each period since we have no dilutive stock options and warrants.

ITEM 9A.       CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
 
An evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Principal Financial Officer and Principal Executive Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report on Form 10-K. Disclosure controls and procedures are procedures designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, such as this Form 10-K, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time period specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and is communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on that evaluation, our management concluded that, as of December 31, 2009, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
 
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as required by Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Section 404.A. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. In evaluating the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control - Integrated Framework. Based on that evaluation, management concluded that during the period covered by this report our internal controls and procedures were not effective to detect the incorrect application of GAAP as more fully described below. This was due to deficiencies that existed in the design or operation of our internal control over financial reporting that may be considered to be material weaknesses.
 
 
12

 
 
The matters involving internal controls and procedures that our management considered to be material weaknesses were: (1)) the lack of a majority of outside directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; (2) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; and (3) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements. These material weaknesses were identified by our Chief Executive and Financial Officers in connection with the audit of our financial statements as of December 31, 2009.
 
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this report
 
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation performed that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Management believes that the material weaknesses described above did not have any material affect on our financial results.
 
We are committed to improving our organization. We intend to: (i) increase our accounting personnel when funds are available which will also permit better segregation of duties, (ii) appoint one or more additional outside directors who will also be appointed to our audit committee; and (iii) prepare and implement sufficient written policies and procedures pertaining to accounting and financial reporting in accordance with GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements.
 
We will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and are committed to taking further action and implementing additional improvements as necessary and as funds allow.

Mr. Petersen became our Chief Executive and Financial Officer on January 4, 2008 and resigned from those positions on July 1, 2009 and August 4, 2009, respectively. Mr. Petersen’s was compensated in the form of management fees for services rendered in the normal course of operations. The amount of the fees was established and approved by our Board of Directors.
 
(2)
Mr. Wesolek became our Chief Financial Officer on August 4, 2008. During 2008 and a portion of 2009, we paid Mr. Wesolek consulting fees totaling $273,000 and $138,375, respectively. As of December 31, 2009, Mr. Wesolek had voluntarily deferred $24,024 of the amounts payable to him. During January 2010, he converted $10,000 of those deferred fees into shares of our common stock at a market price of $0.48 per share. Mr. Wesolek is compensated in the form of fees for services rendered in the normal course of operations. The amount of the fees was established and approved by our Board of Directors.

On August 15, 2009, we issued our officers and directors fractional participation in a 2% net revenue interest in wells drilled by us on lands in the Cooper Basin. These participation units represent a 0.454% interest in our Cooper Basin revenues, after all royalties, exploration expenses, operating costs and capital investments associated with the Cooper Basin have been recovered. In our opinion no value can be assigned to these revenue interests, as any valuation is non-estimable.

We do not have employment agreements with our officers.
 
We do not have any annuity, pension or retirement plans.
 
Stock-Based Compensation
 
On August 15, 2009, we established a Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan and a Stock Bonus Plan. The Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan (the “Option Plan”) authorizes the issuance of up to 7,200,000 shares of our common stock. Under the Stock Bonus Plan up to 300,000 shares (“Bonus Shares”) of our common stock may be issued to employees, directors, officers, consultants and advisors, provided qualifying services are rendered.
 
At the discretion of our Board of Directors, any option may include installment exercise terms such that the option becomes fully exercisable in a series of cumulating portions. Any options granted or shares issued pursuant to the Plans will be forfeited if the "vesting" schedule established at the time of the grant is not met. The Company may at any time, and from time to time, amend, terminate, or suspend one or more of the Plans in any manner they deem appropriate, provided that any amendment, termination or suspension may not adversely affect rights or obligations with respect to options or shares previously granted.
 
The following table shows the options held by our officers and directors as of December 31, 2009.  The options in the table were all granted pursuant to our Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan

On August 15, 2009, we issued our officers and directors fractional participation in a 2% net revenue interest in wells drilled by us on lands in the Cooper Basin. These participation units represent a 0.454% interest in our Cooper Basin revenues, after all royalties, exploration expenses, operating costs and capital investments associated with the Cooper Basin have been recovered. In our opinion no value can be assigned to these revenue interests, as any valuation is non-estimable.

ITEM 13.        CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE.
 
As detailed in our financial statements and Items 1 and 7 of this report, from time to time, we’ve had non-interest bearing advances from certain of our Directors, shareholders and affiliates; and a series of transactions with Holloman Corporation and Holloman Oil & Gas. Two of our officers/directors are officers and shareholders in Holloman Corporation, which holds a 100% interest in Holloman Oil & Gas. Those same officers/directors are also officers/directors of Holloman Oil & Gas.
 
During 2009, the highest total balance in related party advances was $1,572,803. Of that amount, $1,254,521 was payable to Holloman Corporation. During 2009, we repaid advances of $840,000 and converted $732,803 in advances to restricted shares of our common stock. There are no related party advances outstanding at December 31, 2009.
 
In November 2007 we acquired Holloman Petroleum Pty. Ltd. for 18,600,000 shares of our common stock. Prior to the acquisition, Holloman Petroleum was a majority owned subsidiary of Holloman Oil & Gas (see Item 1).

On March 7, 2008 we entered into a contingent agreement with Holloman Oil & Gas Limited. If pursued, the agreement grants Holloman Oil & Gas the right to earn a two-thirds working interest in PEL 112 (see Item 1).
 
J. Douglas Brown and Keith Macdonald are independent directors, as that term is defined in Section 803 of the listing standards of the NYSE AMEX.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Holloman Energy Corporation (a exploration stage company) as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the related consolidated  statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended and the period from May 5, 2006 (inception) through December 31, 2009.  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.
 
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, these consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position Holloman Energy Corporation as at December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended and the period from May 5, 2006 (inception) through December 31, 2009 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
The accompanying consolidated 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 has not generated revenues since inception, has incurred losses in developing its business, and further losses are anticipated.  The Company requires additional funds to meet its obligations and the costs of its operations.  These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans in this regard are described in Note 1.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

HOLLOMAN ENERGY CORPORATION
(An Exploration Stage Company)

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2009
 
1.
NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS
 
Holloman Energy Corporation (the “Company”), was incorporated in the State of Nevada on May 14, 2004.  The Company focuses on oil and gas exploration and development in Australia’s Cooper Basin.
 
On August 3, 2007, Holloman acquired Endeavor Canada Corporation (“Endeavor”), an Alberta, Canada corporation involved in oil and gas development. The Company acquired Endeavour for 9,000 shares of its Series A preferred stock and 9,000,000 shares of the preferred stock of its wholly owned subsidiary, First Endeavor Holdings (“FEH”).
 
For accounting purposes, the acquisition of Endeavor constituted a re-capitalization whereby Endeavor was deemed to have acquired Holloman. On February 15, 2008, the Company divested its interest in Endeavour (Note 3).
 
On November 21, 2007, the Company acquired Holloman Petroleum Pty. Ltd. (“Holloman Petroleum”) for 18,600,000 shares of its common stock.  Holloman Petroleum’s assets consisted of working interests, varying between 37.5% and 100%, in seven oil and gas permits in Australia.
 
The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States which contemplates the realization of assets and discharge of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company is in the exploration stage. It has not generated operating revenues to date, and has accumulated losses of $10,811,916 since inception. Holloman has funded its operations through the issuance of capital stock and debt. Management plans to raise additional funds through; third-party equity or debt financings, joint venturing of its work program obligations with third parties who will pay a significant portion of required program costs, and reliance upon the continued support of its controlling shareholder. There is no certainty that further funding will be available as needed. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue operating as a going concern. Holloman’s ability to continue its operations as a going concern, realize the carrying value of its assets, and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business is dependent upon; the continued support of its controlling shareholder, its ability to raise new capital sufficient to fund its commitments and ongoing losses, and ultimately on generating profitable operations.
 
Subsequent Events
 
The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date of issuance of these audited consolidated financial statements. During this period, the Company did not have any material recognizable subsequent events.
 
2.           SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Basis of Presentation
 
These consolidated financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and are expressed in United States dollars. The Company has not produced revenues from its principal business and is an exploration stage company as defined by “Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises.” These financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries FEH and Holloman Petroleum. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
 
 
F-6

 
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected. The most significant estimates with regard to these financial statements relate to carrying values of oil and gas properties, determination of fair values of stock based transactions, and deferred income tax rates.
 
Foreign Currency Translation
 
The Company and its Australian subsidiaries’ functional and reporting currency is the United States dollar. The functional currency of the Company’s Canadian subsidiary was the Canadian dollar. Foreign currency financial statements of the Company’s Canadian subsidiary was translated to United States dollars using period-end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, and average rates of exchange for the period for revenues and expenses. Translation gains (losses) are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income as a component of stockholders’ equity. Foreign currency financial statements of the Company’s Australian subsidiary use period end rates for monetary assets and liabilities, historical rates for historical cost balances, and average rates for expenses. Translation gains and losses are included in the determination of income. Foreign currency transactions of the Company’s subsidiaries are primarily undertaken in Australian and Canadian dollars. The Company has not, to the date of these financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.
 
Oil and Gas Properties
 
The Company utilizes the full cost method to account for its investment in oil and gas properties. Accordingly, all costs associated with acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas reserves, including such costs as leasehold acquisition costs, capitalized interest costs relating to unproved properties, geological expenditures, tangible and intangible development costs including direct internal costs are capitalized to the full cost pool. When the Company commences production from established proven oil and gas reserves, capitalized costs, including estimated future costs to develop the reserves and estimated abandonment costs, net of salvage, will be depleted on the units-of-production method using estimates of proved reserves. Costs of unproved properties are not amortized until the proved reserves associated with the projects can be determined or until impairment occurs.  If an assessment of such properties indicates that properties are impaired, the amount of impairment is added to the capitalized cost base to be amortized.
 
The capitalized costs included in the full cost pool are subject to a "ceiling test", which limits such costs to the aggregate of the (i) estimated present value, using a ten percent discount rate, of the future net revenues from proved reserve, based on current economic and operating conditions, (ii) the lower of cost or estimated fair value of unproven properties included in the costs being amortized, (iii) the cost of properties not being amortized, less (iv) income tax effects related to differences between the book and tax basis of the cost of properties not being amortized and the cost or estimated fair value of unproved properties included in the costs being amortized.  At December 31, 2009, all of the Company’s oil and gas interests were classified as unproven properties and were not being amortized.
 
Sales of proved and unproved properties are accounted for as adjustments of capitalized costs with no gain or loss recognized, unless such adjustments would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves of oil and gas, in which case the gain or loss is recognized in the statement of operations.
 
 
F-7

 
 
Equipment
 
Equipment is recorded at historical cost.  The declining-balance method of depreciation is used for the assets at the following annual rates:
 
Computer equipment
45 %
Furniture and Equipment
20 %
 
Expenditures for replacements, renewals, and betterments are capitalized.  Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.
 
Asset retirement obligations
 
The Company records the fair value of an asset retirement obligation as a liability in the period in which it incurs an obligation associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and/or normal use of the assets. The estimated fair value of the asset retirement obligation is based on the current cost escalated at an inflation rate and discounted at a credit adjusted risk-free rate. This liability is capitalized as part of the cost of the related asset and amortized over its useful life.  The liability accretes until the Company settles the obligation.
 
Environmental
 
Oil and gas activities are subject to extensive federal and provincial environmental laws and regulations. These laws, which are constantly changing, regulate the discharge of materials into the environment and may require the Company to remove or mitigate the environmental effects of the disposal or release of petroleum or chemical substances at various sites.
 
Environmental expenditures are expensed or capitalized depending on their future economic benefit.  Expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations and that have no future economic benefits are expensed. Liabilities for expenditures of a non-capital nature are recorded when an environmental assessment and/or remediation is probable, and the costs can be reasonably estimated.
 
Income taxes
 
Income taxes are determined using the liability method.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the 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 that date of enactment.  In addition, a valuation allowance is established to reduce any deferred tax asset for which it is determined that it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.
 
The Company accounts for uncertainty in income taxes by applying a two-step method. First, it evaluates whether a tax position has met a more likely than not recognition threshold, and second, it measures that tax position to determine the amount of benefit, if any, to be recognized in the financial statements. The application of this method did not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.
 
Stock based compensation
 
The Company records compensation expense in the financial statements for share based payments using the fair value method. The fair value of share-based compensation to directors and employees is determined using the Black-Scholes option valuation model at the time of grant. Fair value for common shares issued for goods or services rendered by non-employees are measured based on the fair value of the goods and services received. Share-based compensation is expensed with a corresponding increase to share capital.  Upon the exercise of the stock options, the consideration paid is recorded as an increase in share capital.
 
Long-Lived assets
 
The carrying value of intangible assets and other long-lived assets is reviewed on a regular basis for the existence of facts or circumstances that may suggest impairment. The Company recognizes impairment when the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. Impairment losses, if any, are measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its estimated fair value.
 
 
F-8

 
 
Fair Value of Financial instruments
 
The estimated fair values for financial instruments are determined at discrete points in time based on relevant market information. These estimates involve uncertainties and cannot be determined with precision. The estimated fair value of cash, accounts receivable, other receivables, loans payable, deposit on acquisition, accounts payable and amounts due to related parties approximates their carrying value due to their short-term nature.
 
In connection with private placements and compensation arrangements, the Company granted a 2% net revenue interest in wells drilled by the Company, or on its behalf, in the Company’s concessions covering lands in the Cooper Basin of Australia.  It is management’s opinion that no value can be assigned to these revenue interests, as the fair value cannot be reasonably determined given the current stage of exploration.
 
Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
 
The Company reports and displays comprehensive loss and its components in the financial statements. For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the only components of comprehensive loss were foreign currency translation adjustments.
 
Earnings per share
 
The Company presents both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the statements of operations. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period including convertible debt, stock options, and warrants, using the treasury stock method. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
The Company has reviewed recently issued accounting pronouncements and plans to adopt those that are applicable to it. It does not expect the adoption of these pronouncements to have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
3.          DIVESTITURE OF ENDEAVOR AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
 
Effective August 3, 2007, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Endeavor.
 
The Company’s acquisition of Endeavor was accounted for as a re-capitalization using accounting principles applicable to reverse acquisitions whereby the financial statements subsequent to the date of the transaction are presented as a continuation of Endeavor. Under re-capitalization accounting Endeavor was treated as the Company’s accounting parent (legal subsidiary) and the Company was treated as the accounting subsidiary (legal parent).  This means the consolidated results of operations of the Company include those of Endeavor from its inception on May 5, 2006 and those of the Company from the closing date of the re-capitalization on August 3, 2007.  Endeavor, the acquired entity, is regarded as the predecessor and continuing entity as of August 3, 2007.
 
On August 3, 2007 the Company acquired Endeavor for 9,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred stock and 9,000,000 preferred shares of FEH. Each Series A Preferred share was convertible into one share of the Company’s common stock and were entitled to 1,000 votes on any matter submitted to the Company’s shareholders for approval. The 9,000,000 preferred shares of FEH were, at the option of the holder of the shares, convertible into 9,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.
 
On February 1, 2008, the Company entered into an agreement with its former Chief Executive Officer which provided the Company the option of exchanging all of its interest in Endeavor for the Company’s Series A Preferred shares and the Class A Preferred shares of FEH held by the former CEO.
 
 
F-9

 
 
On February 15, 2008, the option was exercised.  As a result, the 6,500 shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred stock and the 6,500,000 Class A Preferred shares of FEH originally issued to the CEO of Endeavour were returned to the Company and cancelled. In exchange, all outstanding shares of Endeavor were transferred to the former CEO.
 
The Company recognized a gain on its divestiture of Endeavor as follows:
 
Net liabilities of Endeavor:

4.           OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES
 
General
 
All of the Company’s oil and gas properties are located in Australia and are unproven. As such, the costs capitalized in connection with those properties are not currently subject to depletion. The Company intends to acquire additional seismic data and begin drilling exploratory wells on its properties within 24 months. It anticipates depletion of these properties will begin during fiscal year 2011. The costs incurred in oil and gas property acquisition and exploration activities are summarized as follows:

In May 2007, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire a 62.5% working interest in an Australian oil and gas exploration permit covering 340,000 acres, more or less, in an area known as Victoria Permit 60 (“Vic P60”).  In connection with the agreement, the Company paid $639,487 in the form of a deposit on Vic P60.
 
On November 21, 2007, the Company purchased seven Australian oil and gas interests. This purchase was facilitated by the acquisition of Holloman Petroleum Pty. Ltd., a privately held Australian-based company, for 18,600,000 shares of the Company's common stock with a fair market value of $15,903,000. The purchase included a 66.67% working interest in two licenses located in the Cooper Basin, in the State of South Australia, the remaining 37.5% working interest in Vic P60 in the Gippsland Basin, in the State of Victoria, and a 100% working interest in three permits in the Barrow Sub-Basin, in the State of Western Australia.
 
Onshore – The Cooper Basin
 
On June 11, 2008 the Australian government consolidated two of the Company’s oil and gas licenses in the Cooper Basin (PEL 108 and PEL 109) into one license (PEL 444). In connection with that consolidation, the government also extended the license term and associated work programs for PEL 444 and PEL 112 by five years. Under Australian Law, at the end of each five year term, one third of the area covered by a petroleum exploration license must be relinquished. Accordingly, during June 2008, the Company identified and relinquished a third of the acreage covered by PEL 112 and PEL 444 to the government.
 
 
F-10

 
 
The Company is currently party to a contingent agreement with Holloman Oil & Gas Limited (“HOG”), an Australian corporation, which grants HOG its working interest in PEL 112.  To earn its working interest, HOG agreed to:
 
 
Fund the costs required to drill, and if warranted, complete three wells on the PEL 112 within the timeframes required  by the permit work programs; and
 
 
Pay the Company a 1.33% overriding royalty on gross revenues generated from the sale of any oil or gas produced from wells drilled on the PEL 112.
 
In the event the contingent agreement is pursued, the Company has the right to earn up to a 33.33% working interest in the PEL 112 license by paying, prior to the time any well has reached 50% of the expected total depth, the Company’s proportionate share of the cost of drilling any of the wells involved in a three-well drilling program.  The Company also has the right to earn up to a one-third working interest in any future wells drilled on the PEL 112 by paying its proportionate share of the cost of drilling. Two of the Company’s officers/directors are officers and shareholders in Holloman Corporation, which holds a 100% interest in HOG.
 
On August 28, 2009 the Company retained Macquarie Tristone Capital Inc. (“Tristone”) to assist in finding a joint venture partner to share all or part of its costs of exploring and developing its Cooper Basin licenses. The Company has no obligation to accept any transaction proposed by Tristone. Under the Tristone agreement, the Company paid a non-refundable retainer fee of CAD$50,000 and will pay CAD$50,000 per month for a minimum and maximum of four months (total work fees CAD$200,000). During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company paid CAD$100,000 to Tristone. The Company will also pay Tristone success fees ranging between CAD$800,000 and CAD$1,000,000 if Tristone is successful in arranging an acceptable transaction(s). The retainer and work fees are creditable against success fees, if success fees are incurred.
 
Offshore – Barrow Sub-Basin and Vic P60
 
During 2009, the Company relinquished all of its offshore oil and gas permits. The Barrow Sub-Basin permits (WA-372P, WA-373P and WA-395P) obligated the Company to drill 12 offshore exploration wells during the period from June 2010 to June 2013. The Vic P60 permit obligated the Company to drill an additional exploration well by October 28, 2010.  Both the Barrow and Vic P60 permits also required the acquisition of significant amounts of 3D seismic data.  The Company relinquished its Barrow Sub-Basin permits effective June 30, 2009. As a result of the application of a full cost pool "ceiling test", the Company determined that the carrying value of its pool of unproven properties was impaired to the extent of the carrying value of those permits. Accordingly, it recognized a loss on the impairment of oil and gas assets of $2,908,010. Oil and gas properties were reduced by the same amount to reflect the impairment of the Barrow permits.
 
The Company relinquished its Vic P60 permit effective December 28, 2009. As a result of the application of a full cost pool "ceiling test", the Company determined that the carrying value of its pool of unproven properties was impaired to the extent of the carrying value of that permit. Accordingly, it recognized a loss on the impairment of oil and gas assets of $2,851,684. This loss included the write-off of the $639,487deposit paid in connection with the acquisition of Vic P60. Oil and gas properties and deposit on acquisition were reduced by the same amounts to reflect the impairment of the Vic P60 permit.
 
The carry value of oil and gas properties was also reduced by $1,636,508 in deferred tax gross-up relating to the relinquished permits

During 2009, the Company repaid advances of $840,000 and converted $732,803 in advances to shares of its common stock (Note 9).
 
During 2009, fees totaling $60,000 (2008 - $175,000) and $226,812 (2008 - $273,000) were paid to the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, respectively. The fees were incurred as compensation for services rendered in the normal course of operations and were paid at the amount established and agreed to by the related parties.
 
Beginning September 1, 2008, administrative services fees of $50,000 per month (2008 total - $200,000) were payable to the Company’s principal shareholder, Holloman Corporation. These fees were to be paid on a quarterly basis in shares of the Company’s restricted common stock at the average closing price of the stock for the last 10 trading-days of the applicable monthly billing period. The agreement under which these fees are incurred can be terminated by either party with 30-days notice. Due to market conditions, the Company amended its administrative service agreement with Holloman Corporation to cancel fees payable under that agreement through April 30, 2010.  As a result, no such fees were incurred during 2009. Two of the Company’s officers/directors are officers and/or directors and shareholders in Holloman Corporation.
 
7.          STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
 
On August 15, 2009, the Company established a Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan and a Stock Bonus Plan. The Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan (the “Option Plan”) authorizes the issuance of up to 7,200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Under the Stock Bonus Plan up to 300,000 shares (“Bonus Shares”) of the Company’s common stock may be issued to employees, directors, officers, consultants and advisors, provided qualifying services are rendered.
 
At the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors, any option may include installment exercise terms such that the option becomes fully exercisable in a series of cumulating portions. Any options granted or shares issued pursuant to the Plans will be forfeited if the "vesting" schedule established at the time of the grant is not met. The Company may at any time, and from time to time, amend, terminate, or suspend one or more of the Plans in any manner they deem appropriate, provided that any amendment, termination or suspension may not adversely affect rights or obligations with respect to options or shares previously granted.

The weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted during 2009 was $0.50.
 
As of December 31, 2009 there was $1,263,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share-based compensation under the Option Plan. Of this amount, $1,066,000 is expected to be recognized during 2010, and $197,000 during  2011. A total of $1,143,378 in non-cash, stock-based compensation has been recognized in the statement of operations during 2009 in connection with the Option Plan.
 
On August 15, 2009, the Company issued 200,000 shares of its common stock to officers and directors pursuant to the Stock Bonus Plan. The fair value for shares of common stock given as compensation is the average market price of the stock for the 10-day period preceding the date of grant. The 200,000 Bonus Shares had a value of $0.56 per share at the date of issuance. The Company recognized non-cash management and director’s fees of $112,000 related to the Bonus Shares in the statements of operations.
 
On August 15, 2009, the Company also issued its officers and directors fractional participation in a 2% net revenue interest in wells drilled by the Company on its lands in the Cooper basin. These participation units represent a 0.454% interest in the Company’s Cooper Basin revenues, after all royalties, exploration expenses, operating costs and capital investments associated with the Cooper Basin have been recovered. In management’s opinion no value can be assigned to these revenue interests, as any valuation is non-estimable.

On February 1, 2008 the Company entered into an agreement with its former Chief Executive Officer which provided the Company with the option of exchanging all of the Company’s interest in Endeavor for the Company’s Series A Preferred shares and the Class A Preferred shares of FEH previously issued in connection with the Company’s original acquisition of Endeavor. On February 15, 2008 the option was exercised.  As a result, the 6,500 shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred stock and the 6,500,000 Class A Preferred shares of FEH were returned to the Company and cancelled and all outstanding shares of Endeavor were transferred to the former CEO (Note 3).
 
At the option of the remaining preferred stockholders, the residual 2,500 shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred stock and 2,500,000 preferred shares of FEH were converted into an equivalent number of shares of the Company’s common stock during June 2008.
