OTHER SIGNIFICANT INFORMATION

Past Contacts, Negotiations and Agreement with Millington Solutions LLC
 
Placement of Convertible Notes
 
We were introduced to Millington Solutions LLC (“Millington”) by our trading partners in early 2005. No commissions or introduction fees were paid by Sunrise to any party in regard to any financing received from Millington.
 
Effective March 30 and June 6, 2006, Sunrise Energy Resources, Inc. executed a Convertible Note Subscription Agreement with Millington Solutions LLC to complete a $1.0 million and $2.0 million, respectively, private placement financing in the form of 10% convertible notes. Each tranche will mature in 3 years of the receipt of funds. The coupon is accrued at the rate of 10% per annum on the unconverted amount and is payable annually on each 12 month anniversary of each tranche until conversion or maturity. The Notes can be converted into Common shares of the Company at a conversion price of $2.20 at the holder's option at any time before the maturity date of each tranche. For Notes converted between interest due dates, the interest would accrue pro-rata and would be paid in the form of additional shares of the Company's Common stock. The number of such additional shares shall be calculated at the same conversion price.
 
On July 25, 2006 the Company executed a Convertible Note Subscription Agreement with Millington Solutions LLC for the total amount of $1.0 million with 6% сoupon and the conversion price of $1.40 per share. All other terms were identical to the Convertible Note Subscription Agreements that were signed on March 30 and June 6, 2006.
 
On February 1, 2007, the Company executed Convertible Note Subscription Agreement with Millington Solutions Limited for the total amount of $1.0 million with 7% сoupon and the conversion price of $3.00 per share. All other terms were identical to the Convertible Note Subscription Agreements that were signed on March 30 and June 6, 2006.
 
Interest Capitalization

On March 15, 2007 the Company and Millington Solutions Ltd. agreed that interest accrued under the Convertible Debenture Note agreements CD-1001, CD-1009, CD-1011 and CD-1013 (“the Notes”) may be at the Borrower’s election paid when due in accordance with the Convertible Debenture Note terms; or fully or partially capitalized. In the event, the Borrower elects to capitalize the accrued interests under the Notes, the accrued interest shall be added to the outstanding principal. Following such election, the interest in subsequent periods shall accrue on the increased principal balance at the rate provided by each Convertible Debenture Note agreement. The increased outstanding principal may be converted into the Borrower’s shares of common stock in accordance with the terms of each Convertible Debenture Note. On March 20, 2007, the Borrower elected to capitalize the interest payments on CD-1001 and CD-1009 due on the first annual anniversary of each tranche.  In addition, on July 10, 2007, the Borrower elected to capitalize the interest payments on CD-1011 due on the first annual anniversary of each tranche. On February 1, 2008, the Borrower elected to capitalize the interest payments on CD-1013 due on the first annual anniversary of each tranche. Further, on March 20, 2008, the Borrower elected to capitalize the interest payments on CD-1001 and CD-1009 due on the second annual anniversary of each tranche.  In addition, on July 10, 2008, the Borrower elected to capitalize the interest payments on CD-1011 due on the second annual anniversary of each tranche.
 

 
Millington Solutions was duly notified of the Borrower’s election and the Lender’s acknowledgement of the above election is kept on the Company’s file.

Technical Default on Millington Notes
 
Pursuant to Clause 1 of the Convertible Debenture Agreements CD-1001, CD-1009, CD-1011 and CD-1013, the Company was obligated to repay the principal together with the accrued interest within 3 (three) years of the receipt of funds. The first Convertible Debenture Agreement CD-1001 for the face value of $917,200 is dated March 30, 2006 and matures on March 30, 2009. On March 13, 2008, Millington Solutions LLC notified the Company that it did not intend to extend the maturity date of CD-1001 as well as the maturity dates of CD-1009, CD-1011 and CD-1013 tranches. Accordingly, in the event, the Company failed to secure adequate financing to service the redemption of CD-1001 in the amount of $1,211,621 including interest accrued to March 30, 2009, the Company would be in default on CD-1001.
 
Furthermore, pursuant to Clause 3 - “Lender’s Right of Acceleration” of the Convertible Debenture Agreements CD-1001, CD-1009, CD-1011 and CD-1013, Millington had the right, to declare the entire unpaid principal and interest under the Note due immediately if the Borrower fails to make any payment of principal or interest within fifteen days after its due date or if one or more judgments which in the aggregate exceed $100,000 are entered against the Borrower. Accordingly, in the event, of the Company’s failure to secure adequate financing to service the redemption of CD-1001 and/or any other tranche, the Company would technically be in default on all tranches CD-1001, CD-1009, CD-1011 and CD-1013 which at that time become immediately due for repayment in the total amount of $5,684,837 including capitalized interest as of March 31, 2009.

Disposition of assets and discontinuance of operations

On March 27, 2009, the Company received a proposal from Millington Solutions LLC to transfer all Company’s assets to Millington Solutions LLC in exchange for the total extinguishment of all liability to Millington Solutions LLC including but not limited to principal and interest accrued under the convertible debenture notes CD-1001, CD-1009, CD-1011 and CD-1013. Upon deliberation, the management on March 30, 2009 determined to accept the proposal of Millington Solutions LLC for the following key reasons:


 
·     The Company received a notice from Millington Solutions LLC stating that Millington did not intend to extend the maturity date of the Millington Notes. The Company’s inability to make the payment of principal and interest accrued under CD-1001 in the amount of $1,211,621 would result in the Company technically defaulting on all Millington Notes in the total amount of $5,684,837 including principal and interest. The Company believed that it had exhausted its best efforts to raise external financing to redeem CD-1001 in the first instance and other Millington Notes;
·     All of the Company’s licenses expire during 2009 and were unlikely to be renewed due to the absence of proved reserves, uncertain prospects and a significant capital infusion required to renew the licenses and further develop them.
·     For the aforesaid reasons it was determined that the management was justified in accepting the proposal submitted by Millington Solutions. As a result of transferring all operations to Millington Solutions, the company’s operating activities may be deemed as discontinued and upon the conclusion of the disposal the Company will have no significant residual assets or operations.
 
On June 24, 2009, the Company and Millington Solutions LLC executed a Share Purchase Agreement regarding the transfer of 100% stakes in Esko Pivnich and Pari to Millington in full settlement of the Millington Notes. The transaction was contingent on receiving the board approval and the majority common stockholder approval both of which were obtained on June 30, 2009.
 
The Company and Millington Solutions have agreed that regardless of the actual date of executing the definitive agreements, March 30, 2009 shall be deemed the effective closing date for the disposal.

 
 

 

Reports, Opinions, Appraisal and Negotiations

Prior to the disposal of its wholly owned operating subsidiaries Esko Pivnich and Pari the Company had 8 properties all of which were located in the Ukraine. The Company’s production activities were limited to Karaikozovsk lease located in Eastern Ukraine. The remaining licenses held by Esko Pivnich and Pari were not explored and did not have any material commercial production of hydrocarbons. All of the Company’s licenses expire during 2009 and were unlikely to be renewed due to the absence of proved reserves, uncertain prospects and a significant capital infusion required to renew the licenses and further develop them.

In June 2007, Sunrise engaged Netherland, Sewell and Associates, Inc. (NSAI), an independent petroleum engineering and consulting firm to evaluate the reserves of the Karaikozovsk lease in accordance with the guidelines of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

NSAI is regarded is one of the most reputable oil & gas reserve appraisers in the United States. According to several potential investors that we communicated with in early 2007, NSAI was very conservative and, therefore, enjoyed the trust of the investors. In addition, according to the most recent John S. Herold, Inc. survey, more companies choose NSAI for their SEC reserves reporting than any other consulting firm. NSAI clients include British Petroleum, ChevronTexaco, ConocoPhilips, Occidental Petroleum, Shell and other majors and large independents. Also, NSAI had worked in the Ukraine performing reserves evaluation for other publicly traded companies and was familiar with the regional geology. The total compensation paid to NSAI amounted to approximately $45,500. More information on NSAI is available on www.netherlandsewell.com.

On March 11, 2009 Sunrise received a letter from NSAI stating that as of December 31, 2008, there were no proved reserves in Karaikozovsk field. NSAI’s evaluation was prepared using constant prices and costs. Based on the prices and costs used in NSAI’s evaluation, which was conducted in accordance with the guidelines of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), NSAI determined that there were no proved reserves for Karaikozovsk property as of December 31, 2008. NSAI also stated that estimates of reserves may increase as result of future operations. In accordance with SEC guidelines, NSAI did not estimate any probable or possible reserves that may exist for Karaikozovsk property. Supporting geologic, field performance, and work data are kept on file in NSAI’s office.
