BONANZA OIL AND GAS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2010
(Unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Bonanza Oil and Gas, Inc. (“Bonanza” or the “Company”) has prepared the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) instructions to Form 10-Q and Item 310(b) of regulation S-K. These interim financial statements should be read together with the financial statements and notes in the Company’s 2009 Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 15, 2010. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. The accompanying financial statements reflect all adjustments and disclosures, which, in the Company’s opinion, are necessary for fair presentation. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of the entire year. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year’s financial statements to conform to the current year’s presentation.

Going Concern

The Company has incurred significant losses and had negative cash flow from operations since Inception (August 17, 2007), and has an accumulated deficit of $23,075,256 at March 31, 2010. Substantial portions of the losses are attributable to non-cash writedowns of oil and gas properties, with the balance attributable to primarily personnel costs, legal and professional fees, and financing costs. The Company's operating plans require additional funds that may take the form of debt or equity financings. There can be no assurance that any additional funds will be available. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is in substantial doubt and is dependent upon achieving a profitable level of operations and obtaining additional financing.

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

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

Principles of Consolidation

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

Use of Estimates

Preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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 bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that are

BONANZA OIL AND GAS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2010
(Unaudited)

believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions on a regular basis. Actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions used in preparation of its financial statements and changes in these estimates are recorded when known.

2. NOTES PAYABLE

The Company’s notes payable at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, consisted of the following:

January 2008 Notes

In January 2008, the Company entered into three 14% Senior Secured Promissory Note and Security Agreements, and Securities Purchase Agreements, with accredited investors for an aggregate principal amount of $800,000 (the "January 2008 Notes") and the issuance of 320,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The January 2008 Notes matured on January 31, 2009, with interest payable on a monthly basis. The Company's obligations under the January 2008 Notes are secured by the Company’s interest in three prospect areas located in Borden, Hidalgo and Brazoria counties of Texas. The shares issued in conjunction with the January 2008 Notes were valued at $120,000, based on the market price of the Company’s Common Stock at the time of issuance, and was recorded as a discount to the January 2008 Notes and additional paid-in capital. This discount was amortized using the effective interest rate method over the term of the indebtedness. These balances were fully amortized as of March 31, 2010. Under the terms of the January 2008 Notes, as a result of their non-repayment as of July 31, 2009, the Company was obligated to issue an additional 300,000 shares of its Common Stock as an additional interest payment. The Company issued the additional 300,000 shares of its Common Stock in August 2009.

The Company is in default with respect to the repayment obligation upon maturity which occurred on January 31, 2009. Pursuant to the terms of the January 2008 Notes, upon becoming in default, the interest rate on all amounts outstanding increased to 24% per annum. The Company made no interest payments on the January 2008 Notes during the three months ended March 31, 2010, or during the year ended December 31, 2009, and paid $92,726 in interest on the January 2008 Notes during the year ended December 31, 2008. As of March 31, 2010, the Company had total accrued and unpaid interest of $161,954 on the January 2008 Notes.

BONANZA OIL AND GAS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2010
(Unaudited)

On December 2, 2009, the Company entered a Letter Agreement with the holder of $750,000 principal amount of the January 2008 Notes whereby, in order to induce the holder to convert the notes into shares of the Company’s common stock and, in turn, to reduce the Company’s debt and avoid potentially filing for bankruptcy, the terms with respect to $750,000 of principal of January 2008 Notes held by holder were amended providing that the holder may from time to time convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid principal amount of their January 2008 Notes into shares of the Company’s common stock, at the holder's option, at the lesser of (i) $0.0025 or (ii) a 50% discount to the average of the three lowest trading prices of the common stock during the 20 trading day period prior to conversion (the “Variable Conversion Price”). On January 29, 2010, the Company entered into a Letter Agreement with the holder removing the holder’s ability to convert at the Variable Conversion Price. During December 2009, the holder converted $75,200 of principal due into 30,080,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, the holder converted an additional $756,250, including $81,450 of accrued and unpaid interest, into 302,500,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The Company recognized a loss of $5,322,600 and $347,720 on conversion during the three months ended March 31, 2010, and the year ended December 31, 2009, respectively, as a result of the difference between the conversion price and the fair market value of the Company’s common shares, as determined by the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board on the day prior to the conversion.

As of March 31, 2010, the Company had not cured its default with respect to any of the January 2008 Notes; however, the lenders have not yet taken any further action with respect to the default. Although the Company is actively seeking additional financing to remedy this default, continuing to convert principal and accrued interest into shares of its Common Stock and are in constant communication with the lenders, there can be no assurances that the lenders will continue to delay the enforcement of their remedies under the January 2008 Notes.

May 2008 Convertible Note

In May 2008, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with an accredited investor providing for the sale by the Company of an 8% convertible note in the principal amount of $750,000 (the "May 2008 Convertible Note") and the issuance of 750,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company, a Series A Common Stock Purchase Warrant to purchase 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Series A May Warrant”) and a Series B Common Stock Purchase Warrant to purchase 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Series B May Warrant”). The May 2008 Convertible Note matured on May 14, 2009, and interest is payable on a quarterly basis. The May 2008 Convertible Note is unsecured, however, in the event that the Company grants a secured interest in its assets in connection with any future financing, then the holder of the May 2008 Convertible Note will be entitled to a pari passu interest in such secured interest. The May 2008 Convertible Note was convertible into the Company’s Common Stock, at a conversion price of $0.1871 per common share, as adjusted, and is subject to normal and customary anti-dilution provisions. The Company may require that the holder of the May 2008 Convertible Note convert all or a portion of the May 2008 Convertible Note in the event that the Company’s closing market price for any 10 consecutive trading days exceeds 300% of the then conversion price. However, in no event can the holder of the May 2008 Convertible Note convert the May 2008 Convertible Note into such shares which would provide for the holder to own more than 4.9% of the then outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock, including the shares for which the holder is entitled upon exercise of the Series A May Warrant and Series B May Warrant. The Series A May Warrant and Series B May Warrant were exercisable until May 14, 2010, at an exercise price of $0.375 and $0.50 per share, respectively.

Pursuant to ASC Topic 740-20, "Debt with Conversions and Other Options,” the proceeds from the debt were allocated to the common shares issued, the warrants issued and the debt on a relative fair value basis. The Company calculated the value of the beneficial conversion feature as $305,576, and recorded such value as a discount to the May 2008 Convertible Note and to additional paid-in capital. Using the Black Scholes pricing model, with volatility of 140.69%, a risk-free interest rate of 3.88% and a 0% dividend yield, the Series A May Warrant and Series B May Warrant were determined to have a fair

BONANZA OIL AND GAS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2010
(Unaudited)

value of $236,114, with such value also recorded as a discount to the May 2008 Convertible Note and to additional paid-in capital. The value of the 750,000 common shares was determined to be $99,462, based on the market price of the Company’s Common Stock at the time of issuance, and was also recorded as a discount to the May 2008 Convertible Note and as Common Stock and additional paid-in capital. The aggregate discount of $641,152 attributable to the shares, the warrants and the beneficial conversion feature was amortized using the effective interest rate method over the term of the indebtedness and as was fully amortized as of March 31, 2010. The Company also incurred issue costs of $90,000 associated with the May 2008 Convertible Note which it recorded as deferred financing costs as a component of prepaid and other current expenses. The Company also issued 150,000 Series A May Warrants and 150,000 Series B May Warrants, valued at $42,730, to its investment banking firm as additional compensation. The deferred financing costs were amortized using the effective interest rate method over the term of the indebtedness.

The Company has not made any required interest payment since March 31, 2009, and was unable to repay the May 2008 Convertible Note at maturity on May 14, 2009. Pursuant to the terms of the May 2008 Convertible Note, upon becoming in default, the interest rate on all amounts outstanding increased to 15% per annum. The Company made no interest payments on the May 2008 Convertible Note during the three months ended March 31, 2010 or the year ended December 31, 2009 and paid $23,808 in interest on the May 2008 Convertible Note during the year ended December 31, 2008. As of March 31, 2010, the Company had total accrued and unpaid interest of $114,139 on the May 2008 Convertible Note.

On December 2, 2009, the Company entered a Letter Agreement with the holder of the May 2008 Convertible Note whereby, in order to induce the holder to convert the May 2008 Convertible Note into shares of the Company’s common stock and, in turn, to reduce the Company’s debt and avoid potentially filing for bankruptcy, the May 2008 Convertible Note was amended providing that the holder may from time to time convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid principal amount of the May 2008 Convertible Note into shares of the Company’s common stock, at the holder's option, at the lesser of (i) $0.0025 or (ii) a 50% discount to the average of the three lowest trading prices of the common stock during the 20 trading day period prior to conversion (the “Variable Conversion Price”). On January 29, 2010, the Company entered into a Letter Agreement with the holder removing the holder’s ability to convert at the Variable Conversion Price. The holder did not convert any of the May 2008 Convertible Note into shares of the Company’s Common Stock during the year ended December 31, 2009. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, the holder converted $267,500 of the principal balance outstanding into 107,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The Company recognized a loss of $987,100 on conversion during the three months ended March 31, 2010, as a result of the difference between the conversion price and the fair market value of the Company’s common shares, as determined by the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board on the day prior to the conversion.

As of March 31, 2010, the Company had not cured its default with respect to the May 2008 Convertible Note; however, the lender has not yet taken any further action with respect to the default. Although the Company is actively seeking additional financing to remedy this default, continuing to convert principal and accrued interest into shares of its Common Stock and are in constant communication with the lender, there can be no assurances that the lender will continue to delay the enforcement of their remedies under the May 2008 Convertible Note.

August 2008 Note

In August 2008, the Company entered into four 12% Unsecured Promissory Notes, and Securities Purchase Agreements, with accredited investors for an aggregate principal amount of $500,000 (the "August 2008 Notes") and the issuance of 500,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The August 2008 Notes matured on September 28, 2008. In the event that the August 2008 Notes were not repaid by September 28, 2008, the Company became required to issue 250,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock every thirty days that any amounts remain outstanding under the August 2008 Notes (the “Additional Shares”).

In October 2008, and prior to the issuance of the 500,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock or the Additional Shares, the Company and the holders of the August 2008 Notes elected to amend the terms of the August 2008 Notes. In connection therewith, in exchange for the holders of the August 2008 Notes election to forego their right to receive the 500,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock and the Additional Shares, the Company agreed to issue the holders of the August 2008 Notes common stock purchase warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,000,000 common shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “August 2008 Warrants”). The August 2008 Warrants are exercisable for a period of three years at a price of $0.50 per share. As the August 2008 Notes were not repaid by September 28, 2008, the Company is required to issue the holders of the August 2008 Notes an aggregate of 250,000 warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock every thirty days that any amounts remain outstanding under the August 2008 Notes (the “Additional Warrants”). The Additional Warrants shall be exercisable for a period of three years at a price equal to the greater of $0.50 or the market price as of the date of the issuance. As of March 31, 2010 a total of 4,750,000 Additional Warrants have been issued.

Using the Black Scholes pricing model, with volatility ranging from 146.59% to 181.19%, a risk-free interest rate ranging from 1.25% to 4.50% and a 0% dividend yield, the August 2008 Warrants and the Additional Warrants issued during 2008 were determined to have an aggregate fair value of $569,606, with such value recorded as a discount to the August 2008 Notes and to additional paid-in capital. This discount was amortized using the effective interest rate method over the term of the indebtedness and as of December 31, 2008, was fully amortized. Using the Black Scholes pricing model, with volatility ranging from 168.44% to 241.61%, a risk-free interest rate of ranging from 1.25% to 1.46% and a 0% dividend yield, the 3,000,000 Additional Warrants issued during 2009 were determined to have an aggregate fair value of $98,873, with such value recorded as additional interest expense and to additional paid-in capital. Using the Black Scholes pricing model, with volatility ranging from 243.21% to 246.98%, a risk-free interest rate of ranging from 1.36% to 1.60% and a 0% dividend yield, the 750,000 Additional Warrants issued during 2010 were determined to have an aggregate fair value of $17,612, with such value recorded as additional interest expense and to additional paid-in capital.

As of March 31, 2010, the Company was in default of the repayment provision with respect to the August 2008 Notes; however, the lenders have not yet taken any further action with respect to the default. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Company, in order to reduce the Company’s debt and avoid potentially filing for bankruptcy, entered into a series of individual agreements with the holders of an aggregate of $250,000 of principal amount of the August 2008 Notes to convert portions of their notes into shares of the Company’s Common Stock. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, the lenders converted an aggregate of $55,000 of unpaid principal into 22,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock.

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

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

Three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2009

During the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company realized gross revenue from its first two development wells drilled in the exploitation of the Apclark field in the second half of 2008. During the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company had total sales, net to its interest, of 921 and 1,575 barrels of crude oil, respectively, and realized average prices of $80.14 and $37.77, respectively. During the same periods, lease operating expenses, including severance and other taxes and transportation costs, totaled $21.98 and $22.46 per barrel, respectively, resulting in netbacks to the Company of $58.16 and $15.31 per barrel, respectively.

Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense totaled $25,194 and $32,075 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, most of which is attributable to depletion on our Apclark field.

For the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, general and administrative expenses totaled $290,270 and $323,405, respectively. For 2010, these expenses were comprised primarily of payroll and other personnel expenses ($108,000), consulting fees ($80,470), audit and accounting services ($16,000), legal services ($18,000), transfer agent fees ($32,549) and rent expense ($23,807). For 2009, these expenses were comprised primarily of payroll and other personnel expenses ($190,596), audit and accounting services ($46,000), legal services ($18,000) and rent expense ($14,813).

For the three months ended March 31, 2010, the loss on conversion of debt and accounts payable resulted from the conversion of $756,250 of principal and accrued interest on the January 2008 Notes into 302,500,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, the conversion of $267,500 of principal of the May 2008 Convertible Note into 107,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, the conversion of $55,000 of principal of the August 2008 Notes into 22,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock and $188,000 of accounts payable into 15,200,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The loss on each such conversion was calculated as the difference between the conversion price and the fair market value of the Company’s common shares, as determined by the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board on the day prior to the conversion.

Financing costs, net for the three months ended March 31, 2010, totaled $162,775 and $260,433, respectively. The Company capitalized $84,013 of interest associated with unproved properties during the three months ended March 31, 2009.

No interest was capitalized during the three months ended March 31, 2010. The balance of financing costs recognized was primarily attributable to the amortization of deferred financing fees and discounts associated with the outstanding debt.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 2010, we had a working capital deficit of $2,871,843 consisting of principally of $1,572,056 of short-term debt and $1,301,729 of accounts payable and accrued expenses.

We have raised net proceeds of $6,118,723 in various debt and equity financings since our inception (August 17, 2007), and have used the majority of the net proceeds to begin the exploitation of our interest in the Apclark field with the completion of the first two wells to be drilled, the acquisition of various oil and gas properties, initial payments toward the exercise of the option on the two drilling projects acquired in the merger with Black Pearl Energy, Inc., as well as for general and administrative expenses and working capital purposes.

Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2010, totaled $32,950 and consisted primarily of the net loss of $7,134,303, net of non-cash charges of a $6,709,660 loss on conversion of debt and accounts payable into shares of the Company’s common stock, $48,701 related to the amortization of deferred financing fees and discount on outstanding debt, and $25,194 related to depreciation, depletion and amortization expense. The Company also had $317,798 of other working capital changes. Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2009, totaled $112,030 and consisted primarily of the net loss of $592,408, net of non-cash charges of $260,058 related to the amortization of deferred financing fees and discount on outstanding debt, $65,000 related to stock-based compensation, $32,075 related to depreciation, depletion and amortization expense and $15,897 related to the fair value of our common share issued for consulting services. The Company also had $107,348 of other working capital changes.

The Company had no cash flow activity related to investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2010. Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2009, totaled $13,969 and consisted primarily of payments due from the 2008 drilling activity in the Apclark field.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 30, 2010, totaled $25,000 and consisted of the issuance by the Company of the January 2010 Note. Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2009, totaled $128,276 from the issuance of our February 2009 Note, net of issuance costs, and the partial repayment of the December 2007 Note.

We are in default on the January 2008 Notes

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

with the holder removing the holder’s ability to convert at the Variable Conversion Price. During December 2009, the holder converted $75,200 of principal and accrued interest due into 30,080,000 shares of our Common Stock. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, the holder converted an additional $756,250, including $81,450 of accrued and unpaid interest, into 302,500,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. As of May 17, 2010, we have entered into conversion agreements whereby an additional $112,500 of unpaid accrued interest on the January 2008 Notes has been converted into 45,000,000 million shares of our Common Stock

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

We are in default on the May 2008 Convertible Note

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

We have not made any required interest payment since March 31, 2009, and we were unable to repay the May 2008 Convertible Note at maturity on May 14, 2009. Pursuant to the terms of the May 2008 Convertible Note, upon becoming in default, the interest rate on all amounts outstanding increased to 15% per annum. On December 2, 2009, we entered into a Letter Agreement with the holder of the May 2008 Convertible Note whereby, in order to induce the holder to convert the May 2008 Convertible Note into shares of our common stock and, in turn, to reduce our debt and avoid potentially filing for bankruptcy, the May 2008 Convertible Note was amended providing that the holder may from time to time convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid principal amount of the May 2008 Convertible Note into shares of our common stock, at the holder's option, at the lesser of (i) $0.0025 or (ii) a 50% discount to the average of the three lowest trading prices of the common stock during the 20 trading day period prior to conversion (the “Variable Conversion Price”). On January 29, 2010, we entered into a Letter Agreement with the holder removing the holder’s ability to convert at the Variable Conversion Price. The holder did not convert any of the May 2008 Convertible Note into shares of our Common Stock during the year ended December 31, 2009. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, the holder converted $267,500 of the principal balance outstanding into 107,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. As of May 17, 2010, we have entered into conversion agreements whereby an additional $112,500 of principal of the May 2008 Convertible Note has been converted into 45,000,000 shares of our Common Stock.

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

We are in default on the August 2008 Notes

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

We are in default of the repayment provision with respect to the August 2008 Notes; however, the lenders have not yet taken any further action with respect to the default. Although we are actively seeking additional financing, began, in 2010, to convert principal and accrued interest into shares of our Common Stock and are in constant communication with the lenders, there can be no assurances that the lenders will continue to delay the enforcement of their remedies under the August 2008 Notes. Pursuant to the terms of the August 2008 Notes, we are required to issue to the holders of the August 2008 Notes, a total of 250,000 warrants to purchase shares of our Common Stock every 30 days that amounts remain outstanding under the August 2008 Notes.

During the three months ended March 31, 2010, in order to reduce the Company’s debt and avoid potentially filing for bankruptcy, we entered into a series of individual agreements with the holders of an aggregate of $250,000 of principal amount of the August 2008 Notes to convert portions of their notes into shares of our Common Stock. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, the lenders converted an aggregate of $55,000 of unpaid principal into 22,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. As of May 17, 2010, we have entered into conversion agreements whereby an additional approximate $163,400 of principal and accrued interest of the August 2008 Notes has been converted into 36,827,201 shares of our Common Stock.

We are in default on the October 2008 Note

On October 17, 2008, we entered into a 12% Unsecured Promissory Note, and Securities Purchase Agreement, with an accredited investor for an aggregate principal amount of $50,000 (the "October 2008 Note"). The October 2008 Notes matured on November 17, 2008.

We are in default of the repayment provision with respect to the October 2008 Note; however, the lender has not yet taken any further action with respect to the default. Although we are actively seeking additional financing to remedy this default, and are in constant communication with the lender, there can be no assurances that the lender will continue to delay the enforcement of their remedies under the October 2008 Note. Pursuant to the terms of the October 2008 Notes, we are required to issue to the holders of the October 2008 Notes, a total of 25,000 warrants to purchase shares of our Common Stock every 30 days that amounts remain outstanding under the October 2008 Notes.

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

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

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

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

We are in default on the December 2009 Note

Capital Expenditures and 2010 Outlook

We presently do not have any available credit, bank financing or other external sources of liquidity. Due to our brief history and historical operating losses, our operations have not been a source of liquidity. We will need to obtain additional capital in order to expand operations and become profitable. In order to obtain capital, we may need to sell additional shares of our common stock or borrow funds from private lenders. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining additional funding.

We will still need additional capital in order to continue operations until we are able to achieve positive operating cash flow. Additional capital is being sought, but we cannot guarantee that we will be able to obtain such investments. Financing transactions may include the issuance of equity or debt securities, obtaining credit facilities, or other financing mechanisms. However, the trading price of our common stock and a downturn in the North American stock and debt markets could make it more difficult to obtain financing through the issuance of equity or debt securities. Even if we are able to raise the funds required, it is possible that we could incur unexpected costs and expenses, or experience unexpected cash requirements that would force us to seek alternative financing. Furthermore, if we issue additional equity or debt securities, stockholders may experience additional dilution or the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of our common stock. If additional financing is not available or is not available on acceptable terms, we will have to curtail our operations.

Contractual Obligations

We are subject to various financial obligations and commitments in the normal course of operations. These contractual obligations represent future cash payments that we are required to make and relate primarily to notes payable and accounts payable, all of which are due currently and which are reflected on the Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet at September 30, 2009, found in Item 1 in this Form 10-Q. The Company does have an operating lease obligation with annual payments totaling $103,790 in 2010, $108,321 in 2011 and $36,610 in 2012. The Company expects to fund these contractual obligations with additional financing, either in the form of equity or debt issuances, for which there is no assurance that any additional financings will be available to us on satisfactory terms and conditions, if at all.

Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

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

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

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

Oil and Gas Properties

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

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

The provision for depreciation and depletion of oil and gas properties is computed on the unit-of-production method. Under this method, we compute the provision by multiplying the total unamortized costs of oil and gas properties including future development, site restoration, and dismantlement abandonment costs, but excluding costs of unproved properties by an overall rate determined by dividing the physical units of oil and gas produced during the period by the total estimated units of proved oil and gas reserves. This calculation is done on a country-by-country basis. As of March 31, 2010, all of our oil production operations are conducted in the United States of America. The cost of unevaluated properties not being amortized, to the extent there is such a cost, is assessed quarterly to determine whether the value has been impaired below the capitalized cost. The cost of any impaired property is transferred to the balance of oil and gas properties being depleted. The costs associated with unevaluated properties relate to projects which were undergoing exploration or development activities or in which we intend to commence such activities in the future. We will begin to amortize these costs when proved reserves are established or impairment is determined.

In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 410 “Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations," we report a liability for any legal retirement obligations on our oil and gas properties. The asset retirement obligations represent the estimated present value of the amounts expected to be incurred to plug, abandon, and remediate the producing properties at the end of their productive lives, in accordance with state laws, as well as the estimated costs associated with the reclamation of the property surrounding. The Company determines the asset retirement obligations by calculating the present value of estimated cash flows related to the liability. The asset retirement obligations are recorded as a liability at the estimated present value as of the asset's inception, with an offsetting increase to producing properties. Periodic accretion of the discount related to the estimated liability is recorded as an expense in the statement of operations. The estimated liability is determined using significant assumptions, including current estimates of plugging and abandonment costs, annual inflation of these costs, the productive lives of wells, and a risk-adjusted interest rate. Changes in any of these assumptions can result in significant revisions to the estimated asset retirement obligations. Revisions to the asset retirement obligations are recorded with an offsetting change to producing properties, resulting in prospective changes to depletion and depreciation expense and accretion of the discount. Because of the subjectivity of assumptions and the relatively long lives of most of the wells, the costs to ultimately retire the Company's wells may vary significantly from prior estimates. As of March 31, 2010, our asset retirement obligation was not significant.

Reserve Estimates

Our estimate of proved reserves is based on the quantities of oil and gas that geological and engineering data demonstrate, with reasonable certainty, to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions. The accuracy of any reserve estimate is a function of the quality of available data, engineering and geological interpretation and judgment. For example, we must estimate the amount and timing of future operating costs,

severance taxes, development costs and workover costs, all of which may in fact vary considerably from actual results. In addition, as prices and cost levels change from year to year, the estimate of proved reserves also changes. Any significant variance in these assumptions could materially affect the estimated quantity and value of our reserves. As such, our reserve engineers review and revise our reserve estimates at least annually.

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

Revenue Recognition

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

Income Taxes

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

The Company’s estimates are based on the information available to it at the time that it prepares the income tax provision. The Company generally files its annual income tax returns several months after its fiscal year-end. Income tax returns are subject to audit by federal, state, and local governments, generally years after the returns are filed. These returns could be subject to material adjustments or differing interpretations of the tax laws.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks

Since we are a company that qualifies as a “smaller reporting company,” as defined under Rule 12b-2, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item 3.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended the "Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

We carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2010, the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended March 31, 2010, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

On January 29, 2010, the Company entered into a Letter Agreement with the holder removing the holder’s ability to convert at the Variable Conversion Price. During December 2009, the holder converted $75,200 of principal due into 30,080,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, the holder converted an additional $756,250, including $81,450 of accrued and unpaid interest, into 302,500,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. As of May 17, 2010, we have entered into conversion agreements whereby an additional $112,500 of accrued interest on the January 2008 Notes has been converted into 45,000,000 million shares of our Common Stock

Warrant to purchase 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Series B May Warrant”). The May 2008 Convertible Note matured on May 14, 2009, and interest is payable on a quarterly basis. The May 2008 Convertible Note is unsecured, however, in the event that the Company grants a secured interest in its assets in connection with any future financing, then the holder of the May 2008 Convertible Note will be entitled to a pari passu interest in such secured interest.

On January 29, 2010, the Company entered into a Letter Agreement with the holder removing the holder’s ability to convert at the Variable Conversion Price.

Pursuant to the terms of the January 2008 Notes, upon becoming in default, the interest rate on all amounts outstanding increased to 24% per annum. On December 2, 2009, we entered a Letter Agreement with the holder of $750,000 principal amount of the January 2008 Notes whereby, in order to induce the holder to convert the notes into shares of our common stock and, in turn, to reduce our debt and avoid potentially filing for bankruptcy, the terms of the $750,000 of principal of January 2008 Notes held by holder were amended providing that the holder may from time to time convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid principal amount of their January 2008 Notes into shares of our common stock, at the holder's option, at the lesser of (i) $0.0025 or (ii) a 50% discount to the average of the three lowest trading prices of the common stock during the 20 trading day period prior to conversion (the “Variable Conversion Price”).
