PART I

ITEM 1.     BUSINESS.

General

     Lucas Energy is an independent oil and gas company based in Houston, Texas with approximately 15,000 gross acres of oil and gas leases in South Texas primarily in the Gonzales County, Texas area. We focus on building, revitalizing and developing a portfolio of oil and gas properties. Our strategy is to acquire underperforming oil and gas assets in which we believe we can increase production. We currently operate 26 producing wells that produce approximately 125 – 135 barrels of oil per day (“BOPD”), gross. We control another 16 shut-in or plugged wellbores. We have been able to steadily increase oil and gas production from our operated wells and during our fiscal year 2009 our oil production climbed to 52,585 gross barrels of oil produced, and 41,209 net barrels of oil to our fractional royalty interest in the production. We own 100% working interests in all but one of our operated wells. We also hold non-operating interests in 3 wells in Gonzales, Texas.

     Acquisitions of oil and gas properties are a core part of our growth strategy. We focus on acquiring shut-in wells that we believe have been overlooked by other companies and have, in our assessment, a high probability of additional recovery of reserves through our revitalization process or through the drilling of new laterals. Specifically, we seek out opportunities to acquire wells located in mature oil fields that we believe are underdeveloped and have the potential to recover significant oil reserves that are still in place. The term underdeveloped is an industry term meaning that the reservoirs of interest have either not been fully exploited through drilling, or the reserves in current well bores, whether active or plugged and abandoned, have not been fully recovered by primary recovery techniques. In many instances the fields that we target have lost some or all of the reservoir pressure re quired to drive the oil through the overlying rock and sand and into the well bores of the producing wells, or they have experienced mechanical problems.

     Most of the acquisition prospects that we conduct initial screening on are sourced directly by our senior management or specialized third-party consultants with local area knowledge. Prospects that are of further interest to us after we complete of our initial review, are evaluated for technical and economic viability. We target well acquisitions that we estimate: (a) have a good opportunity and the appropriate acreage to drill additional laterals; (b) payback period of less than 12 months; and (c) projected internal rate of return on capital invested is accretive to earnings.

     Our revitalization process is directed toward bringing wells back into production or enhance production through ordinary practices used in the oil and gas industry. Our revitalization procedures used on acquired wells include the installation of new or good used equipment on the well; cleaning out the well with open ended tubing, tubing with a bit, or tubing with a mule shoe; treating the well with acid, soapy water, or other proprietary chemicals sourced from third parties; re-entry of a plugged and abandoned well; and drilling of a new lateral extension on an existing well. Our well revitalization program enables us to generate short-term cash and to hold leases for additional future development.

     Additionally, we have conducted reservoir engineering on a program to drill new laterals from existing well-bores or offset locations that we have already leased. The purpose of these laterals are to provide more aerial access to the formation in order to increase the flow rate and to recover additional oil and gas reserves not recoverable from the existing vertical (straight) holes. We completed our initial lateral - the Hagen Ranch #3 and our second lateral – the Perkins Oil Unit #1. These wells have produced during our fiscal years 2008 and 2009, approximately 10,948 and 9,918 barrels of oil, respectively net to our interest.

     Our primary focus is to grow our portfolio of oil and gas properties and our inventory of oil and gas opportunities. Our revenues are derived from the sale of the oil that we produce from our wells. We derive ancillary revenue from associated natural gas produced in connection with production from our oil wells.

     Our assets deplete as our oil and gas reserves are produced, and our business is capital intensive requiring substantial funding to make property acquisitions, to drill and complete wells and to conduct well revitalizations in order for us to maintain and increase our oil and gas reserve base. Our primary recurring costs are expenses associated with lease operations and with operating the company.

5

     Historically, we have retained substantially all our earnings to fund our capital program and to grow our oil and gas reserve base. Presented below are our actual sales of oil and gas production and average prices realized during the years ended March 31, 2009 and 2008:

     We have acquired and hold oil and gas lease acreage totaling approximately 15,159 and 12,630 gross and net acres, respectively. As of March 31, 2009 our proved undeveloped properties consisted of 21 new laterals available to drill, 19 old laterals and 7 shut in and plugged and abandoned wells identified for re-entry.

     Our principal office is located at 6800 West Loop South, Suite 415, Bellaire, Texas 77401. Our phone number is (713) 528-1881. The Company is authorized to transact business in the state of Texas, and is a bonded operator with the Texas Railroad Commission.

Research and Development

     We have not allocated funds for conducting research and development activities. We do not anticipate allocating funds for research and development in the immediate future.

Marketing of Crude Oil and Natural Gas

     We operate exclusively in the oil and gas industry. Crude oil and natural gas production from wells owned by us is generally sold directly to oil purchasers such as GulfMark Energy, Inc. and Texon LP., and sales are generally made on a month to month basis, and oil sales are made at the tank battery for a well. Prices typically are tied to West Texas Intermediate crude and natural gas commodity futures trading prices as posted in national publications. Natural gas delivered through pipeline networks is sold through a month to month agreement with the Houston Pipeline Company.

     Although we believe that we are not dependent upon any one customer, our marketing arrangement with GulfMark accounted for approximately 88% and 86% of our revenue for the years ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. In the event that GulfMark is unwilling or unable to purchase the production, we believe alternative purchasers of its production are readily available at competitive market prices.

Employees

     As of our fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, we employed four full-time employees, consisting of two executives, and two administrative support staff. We also utilize certain outsourced third parties to provide operational,

6

technical, accounting and certain administrative services. As production levels increase, we may find the need to hire additional personnel.

     None of our employees is a member of any union, nor have they entered into any collective bargaining agreements. We believe that our relationship with our employees is good. With the successful implementation of our business plan, we may seek additional employees in the next year to handle anticipated potential growth.

Facilities

     We currently occupy approximately 3,266 square feet of office space in Bellaire, Texas for $5,062 per month pursuant to an 18 ½ month lease agreement with an expiry of June 30, 2010.

As of March 31, 2009, Lucas had no drilling commitments for drilling and completion of wells in progress.

Industry Segments

     We are presently engaged in one industry segment, which is the exploration and production of oil and natural gas.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

An investment in our common stock involves a number of risks. These risks include those described in this confidential private placement memorandum and others we have not anticipated or discussed. Before you purchase the Securities you should carefully consider the information about risks identified below, as well as the information about risks stated in other parts of this memorandum and in our filings with the Commission that we have incorporated by reference in this memorandum. Any of the risks discussed below or elsewhere in this memorandum or in our Commission filings, and other risks we have not anticipated or discussed, could have a material impact on our business, results of operations, and financial condition. As a result, they could have an impact on our ability to pay any amounts due with respect to the Securities, or our stock price.

Risks Relating to Our Business

We have a limited operating history, and we may not be able to operate profitably in the near future, if at all.

     We have a limited operating history. Businesses which are starting up or in their initial stages of development present substantial business and financial risks and may suffer significant losses from which they cannot recover. We will face all of the challenges of a new business enterprise, including but not limited to, locating and successfully developing oil and gas properties, locating suitable office space, engaging the services of qualified support personnel and consultants, establishing budgets and implementing appropriate financial controls and internal operating policies and procedures. We will need to attract and retain a number of key employees and other service personnel.

We have limited operating capital.

     We have sufficient capital for current operations through our cash position and current cash flow. However, to continue growth and to fund our expansion plans we will require additional financing. The amount of capital available to us is limited, and may not be sufficient to enable us to fully execute our growth plans without additional fund raising. Additional financing may be required to meet our objectives and provide more working capital for expanding our development and marketing capabilities and to achieve our ultimate plan of expansion and full scale of operations. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain such financing on attractive terms, if at all. We have no firm commitments for additional cash funding beyond the proceeds of the recently completed private placement.

7

Our Credit Facility is secured with substantially all existing and after acquired assets, and are subject to financial covenants that we must meet.

     Our Revolving Line of Credit and Letter of Credit Facility with Amegy Bank that we entered into on October 8, 2008 is secured by substantially all of our existing and after acquired assets. The availability of funds and repayments of borrowed funds are subject to periodic borrowing base determinations. Amegy’s lending commitment and our borrowing capacity may increase or decrease as the collateral value of the oil and gas properties securing the Credit Facility fluctuates with factors such as changes in commodity prices, revisions to reserve estimates, and changes in capital expenditure and operating cost estimates. At closing we had immediate access to a $3.0 million line of credit under the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility provides for scheduled semiannual borrowing base redeterminations on June 1 and December 1, or at any other time that Amegy or Lucas may request an unscheduled redete rmination; but neither is obligated to accommodate an unscheduled redetermination more than once between the scheduled semiannual redeterminations.

     On March 30, 2009, the Amegy lending commitment was reduced to $2.7 million with a $25,000 per month reduction to Amegy’s lending commitment commencing April 30, 2009, and continuing until such time as a subsequent redetermination is made. All funds borrowed must be repaid within three (3) years of closing the Credit Facility, or earlier if repayments are required pursuant to periodic borrow base redetermination. The Credit Facility contains financial covenants that we are required to meet and if not met, we will be required to request waiver(s). There are no assurances that should the lending commitment be reduced on the Credit Facility, and if we are required to repay all or a portion of the outstanding borrowings on the Credit Facility prior to maturity that we will be able to meet such repayments within the timeframe required or on terms that are not unfavorable to us and our shareholders . Additionally, there are no assurances that should we require a waiver of the financial covenants, that Amegy will waive the covenant(s) and their remedies.

We do not intend to pay dividends to our shareholders.

     We do not currently intend to pay cash dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate paying any dividends at any time in the foreseeable future. At present, we will follow a policy of retaining all of our earnings, if any, to finance development and expansion of our business.

Our officers and directors have limited liability, and we are required in certain instances to indemnify our officers and directors for breaches of their fiduciary duties.

     We have adopted provisions in our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws which limit the liability of our officers and directors and provide for indemnification by us of our officers and directors to the full extent permitted by Nevada corporate law. Our articles generally provide that our officers and directors shall have no personal liability to us or our shareholders for monetary damages for breaches of their fiduciary duties as directors, except for breaches of their duties of loyalty, acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or knowing violation of law, acts involving unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock purchases or redemptions, or any transaction from which a director derives an improper personal benefit. Such provisions substantially limit our shareholders' ability to hold officers and directors liable for breaches of fiduciary duty, and may requ ire us to indemnify our officers and directors.

We face intense competition.

     We compete against many other energy companies, some of which have considerably greater resources and abilities. These competitors may have greater marketing and sales capacity, established distribution networks, significant goodwill and global name recognition.

We depend significantly upon the continued involvement of our present management.

     Our success depends to a significant degree upon the involvement of our management, who are in charge of our strategic planning and operations. We may need to attract and retain additional talented individuals in order to carry

8

out our business objectives. The competition for such persons could be intense and there are no assurances that these individuals will be available to us.

Our business is subject to extensive regulation.

     As many of our activities are subject to federal, state and local regulation, and as these rules are subject to constant change or amendment, there can be no assurance that our operations will not be adversely affected by new or different government regulations, laws or court decisions applicable to our operations.

Government regulation and liability for environmental matters may adversely affect our business and results of operations.

     Crude oil and natural gas operations are subject to extensive federal, state and local government regulations, which may be changed from time to time. Matters subject to regulation include discharge permits for drilling operations, drilling bonds, reports concerning operations, the spacing of wells, unitization and pooling of properties and taxation. From time to time, regulatory agencies have imposed price controls and limitations on production by restricting the rate of flow of crude oil and natural gas wells below actual production capacity in order to conserve supplies of crude oil and natural gas. There are federal, state and local laws and regulations primarily relating to protection of human health and the environment applicable to the development, production, handling, storage, transportation and disposal of crude oil and natural gas, byproducts thereof and other substances and materials p roduced or used in connection with crude oil and natural gas operations. In addition, we may inherit liability for environmental damages caused by previous owners of property we purchase or lease. As a result, we may incur substantial liabilities to third parties or governmental entities. We are also subject to changing and extensive tax laws, the effects of which cannot be predicted. The implementation of new, or the modification of existing, laws or regulations could have a material adverse effect on us.

The crude oil and natural gas reserves we will report in our SEC filings will be estimates and may prove to be inaccurate.

     There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating crude oil and natural gas reserves and their estimated values. The reserves we will report in our filings with the SEC will only be estimates and such estimates may prove to be inaccurate because of these uncertainties. Reservoir engineering is a subjective and inexact process of estimating underground accumulations of crude oil and natural gas that cannot be measured in an exact manner. Estimates of economically recoverable crude oil and natural gas reserves depend upon a number of variable factors, such as historical production from the area compared with production from other producing areas and assumptions concerning effects of regulations by governmental agencies, future crude oil and natural gas prices, future operating costs, severance and excise taxes, development costs and work-over and remedial costs. Some or all of these assumption s may in fact vary considerably from actual results. For these reasons, estimates of the economically recoverable quantities of crude oil and natural gas attributable to any particular group of properties, classifications of such reserves based on risk of recovery, and estimates of the future net cash flows expected there from prepared by different engineers or by the same engineers but at different times may vary substantially. Accordingly, reserve estimates may be subject to downward or upward adjustment. Actual production, revenue and expenditures with respect to our reserves will likely vary from estimates, and such variances may be material.

Crude oil and natural gas development, re-completion of wells from one reservoir to another reservoir, restoring wells to production and drilling and completing new wells are speculative activities and involve numerous risks and substantial and uncertain costs.

     Our growth will be materially dependent upon the success of our future development program. Drilling for crude oil and natural gas and reworking existing wells involves numerous risks, including the risk that no commercially productive crude oil or natural gas reservoirs will be encountered. The cost of drilling, completing and operating wells is substantial and uncertain, and drilling operations may be curtailed, delayed or cancelled as a result of a variety of factors beyond our control, including:

9

• unexpected drilling conditions;
• pressure or irregularities in formations;
• equipment failures or accidents;
• inability to obtain leases on economic terms, where applicable;
• adverse weather conditions;
• compliance with governmental requirements; and
• shortages or delays in the availability of drilling rigs or crews and the delivery of equipment.

     Drilling or reworking is a highly speculative activity. Even when fully and correctly utilized, modern well completion techniques such as hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling do not guarantee that we will find crude oil and/or natural gas in our wells. Hydraulic fracturing involves pumping a fluid with or without particulates into a formation at high pressure, thereby creating fractures in the rock and leaving the particulates in the fractures to ensure that the fractures remain open, thereby potentially increasing the ability of the reservoir to produce oil or gas. Horizontal drilling involves drilling horizontally out from an existing vertical well bore, thereby potentially increasing the area and reach of the well bore that is in contact with the reservoir. Our future drilling activities may not be successful and, if unsuccessful, such failure would have an adverse effect on our future results of operations and financial condition. We cannot assure you that our overall drilling success rate or our drilling success rate for activities within a particular geographic area will not decline. We may identify and develop prospects through a number of methods, some of which do not include lateral drilling or hydraulic fracturing, and some of which may be unproven. The drilling and results for these prospects may be particularly uncertain. Our drilling schedule may vary from our capital budget. The final determination with respect to the drilling of any scheduled or budgeted prospects will be dependent on a number of factors, including, but not limited to:

• the results of previous development efforts and the acquisition, review and analysis of data;
• the availability of sufficient capital resources to us and the other participants, if any, for the drilling of the prospects;
• the approval of the prospects by other participants, if any, after additional data has been compiled;
• economic and industry conditions at the time of drilling, including prevailing and anticipated prices for crude oil and natural gas and the availability of drilling rigs and crews;
• our financial resources and results;
• the availability of leases and permits on reasonable terms for the prospects; and
• the success of our drilling technology.

     We cannot assure you that these projects can be successfully developed or that the wells discussed will, if drilled, encounter reservoirs of commercially productive crude oil or natural gas. There are numerous uncertainties in estimating quantities of proved reserves, including many factors beyond our control.

Crude oil and natural gas prices are highly volatile in general and low prices will negatively affect our financial results.

     Our revenues, operating results, profitability, cash flow, future rate of growth and ability to borrow funds or obtain additional capital, as well as the carrying value of our properties, are substantially dependent upon prevailing prices of crude oil and natural gas. Lower crude oil and natural gas prices also may reduce the amount of crude oil and natural gas that we can produce economically. Historically, the markets for crude oil and natural gas have been very volatile, and such markets are likely to continue to be volatile in the future. Prices for crude oil and natural gas are subject to wide fluctuation in response to relatively minor changes in the supply of and demand for crude oil and natural gas, market uncertainty and a variety of additional factors that are beyond our control, including:

• worldwide and domestic supplies of crude oil and natural gas;
• the level of consumer product demand;
• weather conditions;
• domestic and foreign governmental regulations;
• the price and availability of alternative fuels;

10

• political instability or armed conflict in oil producing regions;
• the price and level of foreign imports; and
• overall domestic and global economic conditions.

     It is extremely difficult to predict future crude oil and natural gas price movements with any certainty. Declines in crude oil and natural gas prices may materially adversely affect our financial condition, liquidity, ability to finance planned capital expenditures and results of operations. Further, oil and gas prices do not move in tandem.

Risks Related To Share Ownership

The market price for our common stock may be volatile, and you may not be able to sell our stock at a favorable price or at all.

Many factors could cause the market price of our common stock to rise and fall, including:

• actual or anticipated variations in our quarterly results of operations;
• changes in market valuations of companies in our industry;
• changes in expectations of future financial performance;
• fluctuations in stock market prices and volumes;
• issuances of dilutive common stock or other securities in the future;
• the addition or departure of key personnel;
• announcements by us or our competitors of acquisitions, investments or strategic alliances; and
• the increase or decline in the price of oil and natural gas.

     It is possible that the proceeds from sales of our common stock may not equal or exceed the prices you paid for it plus the costs and fees of making the sales.

Substantial sales of our common stock, or the perception that such sales might occur, could depress the market price of our common stock.

     We cannot predict whether future issuances of our common stock or resales in the open market will decrease the market price of our common stock. The impact of any such issuances or resales of our common stock on our market price may be increased as a result of the fact that our common stock is thinly, or infrequently, traded. The exercise of any options or the vesting of any restricted stock that we may grant to directors, executive officers and other employees in the future, the issuance of common stock in connection with acquisitions and other issuances of our common stock could have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock. In addition, future issuances of our common stock may be dilutive to existing shareholders. Any sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales might occur, could lower the market price of our common s tock.

Our common stock is considered "penny stock" securities under Exchange Act rules, which may limit the marketability of our securities.

     Our securities are considered low-priced or "designated" securities under rules promulgated under the Exchange Act. Under these rules, broker/dealers participating in transactions in low-priced securities must first deliver a risk disclosure document which describes the risks associated with such stocks, the broker/dealer's duties, the customer's rights and remedies, certain market and other information, and make a suitability determination approving the customer for low-priced stock transactions based on the customer's financial situation, investment experience and objectives. Broker/dealers must also disclose these restrictions in writing to the customer and obtain specific written consent of the customer, and provide monthly account statements to the customer. The likely effect of these restrictions is a decrease in the willingness of broker/dealers to make a market in the stock, decreased liqu idity of the stock and increased transaction costs for sales and purchases of the stock as compared to other securities.

11

IN ADDITION TO THE RISK FACTORS SET FORTH ABOVE, THE COMPANY IS SUBJECT TO NUMEROUS OTHER RISKS SPECIFIC TO THE PARTICULAR BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY, AS WELL AS GENERAL BUSINESS RISK. INVESTORS ARE URGED TO CONSIDER ALL OF THE RISKS INHERENT IN THE COMPANY'S SECURITIES PRIOR TO PURCHASING OR MAKING AN INVESTMENT DECISION. THE COMPANY'S SECURITIES ARE HIGHLY SPECULATIVE AND INVOLVE A VERY HIGH DEGREE OF RISK.

Competition

     We are in direct competition with numerous oil and natural gas companies, drilling and income programs and partnerships exploring various areas of the Texas and elsewhere competing for properties. Many competitors are large, well-known oil and gas and/or energy companies, although no single entity dominates the industry. Many of our competitors possess greater financial and personnel resources enabling them to identify and acquire more economically desirable energy producing properties and drilling prospects than us. Additionally, there is competition from other fuel choices to supply the energy needs of consumers and industry. Management believes that there exists a viable market place for smaller producers of natural gas and oil.

Government Regulation

     In the United States, legislation affecting the oil and gas industry has been pervasive and is under constant review for amendment or expansion. Pursuant to such legislation, numerous federal, state and local departments and agencies have issued extensive rules and regulations binding on the oil and gas industry and its individual members, some of which carry substantial penalties for failure to comply. These laws and regulations have a significant impact on oil and gas drilling, gas processing plants and production activities, increasing the cost of doing business and, consequently, affect profitability. Insomuch as new legislation affecting the oil and gas industry is common place and existing laws and regulations are frequently amended or reinterpreted, Lucas Energy may be unable to predict the future cost or impact of complying with these laws and regulations. Lucas Energy considers the cost o f environmental protection a necessary and manageable part of its business. Lucas Energy has been able to plan for and comply with new environmental initiatives without materially altering its operating strategies.

Exploration and Production

     Lucas Energy's operations are subject to various types of regulation at the federal, state and local levels. These regulations include requiring permits for the drilling wells; maintaining prevention plans; submitting notification and receiving permits related to the presence, use and release of certain materials incidental to oil and gas operations; and regulating the location of wells, the method of drilling and casing wells, the use, transportation, storage and disposal of fluids and materials used in connection with drilling and production activities, surface plugging and abandoning of wells and the transporting of production. Lucas Energy's operations are also subject to various conservation matters, including the number of wells which may be drilled in a unit, and the unitization or pooling of oil and gas properties. In this regard, some states allow the forced pooling or integration of trac ts to facilitate exploration while other states rely on voluntary pooling of lands and leases, which may make it more difficult to develop oil and gas properties. In addition state conservation laws establish maximum rates of production oil and gas wells, generally limit the venting or flaring of gas, and impose certain requirements regarding the ratable purchase of production. The effect of these regulations is to limit the amounts of oil and gas Lucas Energy can produce from its wells and to limit the number of wells or the locations at which Lucas Energy can drill.

Environmental

     Our exploration, development, and production of oil and gas, including our operation of saltwater injection and disposal wells, are subject to various federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations. Such laws and regulations can increase the costs of planning, designing, installing and operating oil and gas wells. Our domestic activities are subject to a variety of environmental laws and regulations, including but not limited to, the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 ("OPA"), the Clean Water Act ("CWA"), the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act ("CERCLA"), the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act ("RCRA"), the Clean Air Act ("CAA"), and the Safe Drinking Water Act ("SDWA"), as well as state regulations promulgated under comparable state statutes. We

12

are also subject to regulations governing the handling, transportation, storage, and disposal of naturally occurring radioactive materials that are found in our oil and gas operations. Civil and criminal fines and penalties may be imposed for non-compliance with these environmental laws and regulations. Additionally, these laws and regulations require the acquisition of permits or other governmental authorizations before undertaking certain activities, limit or prohibit other activities because of protected areas or species, and impose substantial liabilities for cleanup of pollution.

     Under the OPA, a release of oil into water or other areas designated by the statute could result in the company being held responsible for the costs of remediating such a release, certain OPA specified damages, and natural resource damages. The extent of that liability could be extensive, as set forth in the statute, depending on the nature of the release. A release of oil in harmful quantities or other materials into water or other specified areas could also result in the company being held responsible under the CWA for the costs of remediation, and civil and criminal fines and penalties.

     CERCLA and comparable state statutes, also known as "Superfund" laws, can impose joint and several and retroactive liability, without regard to fault or the legality of the original conduct, on certain classes of persons for the release of a "hazardous substance" into the environment. In practice, cleanup costs are usually allocated among various responsible parties. Potentially liable parties include site owners or operators, past owners or operators under certain conditions, and entities that arrange for the disposal or treatment of, or transport hazardous substances found at the site. Although CERCLA, as amended, currently exempts petroleum, including but not limited to, crude oil, gas and natural gas liquids from the definition of hazardous substance, our operations may involve the use or handling of other materials that may be classified as hazardous substances under CERCLA. Furthermore, ther e can be no assurance that the exemption will be preserved in future amendments of the act, if any.

     RCRA and comparable state and local requirements impose standards for the management, including treatment, storage, and disposal of both hazardous and non-hazardous solid wastes. We generate hazardous and non-hazardous solid waste in connection with its routine operations. From time to time, proposals have been made that would reclassify certain oil and gas wastes, including wastes generated during drilling, production and pipeline operations, as "hazardous wastes" under RCRA which would make such solid wastes subject to much more stringent handling, transportation, storage, disposal, and clean-up requirements. This development could have a significant impact on our operating costs. While state laws vary on this issue, state initiatives to further regulate oil and gas wastes could have a similar impact. Because oil and gas exploration and production, and possibly other activities, have been conduc ted at some of our properties by previous owners and operators, materials from these operations remain on some of the properties and in some instances require remediation. In addition, in certain instances we have agreed to indemnify sellers of producing properties from which we have acquired reserves against certain liabilities for environmental claims associated with such properties. While we do not believe that costs to be incurred by us for compliance and remediating previously or currently owned or operated properties will be material, there can be no guarantee that such costs will not result in material expenditures.

     Additionally, in the course of our routine oil and gas operations, surface spills and leaks, including casing leaks, of oil or other materials occur, and we incur costs for waste handling and environmental compliance. Moreover, we are able to control directly the operations of only those wells for which we act as the operator. Management believes that the company is in substantial compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations.

     We do not anticipate being required in the near future to expend amounts that are material in relation to our total capital expenditures program by reason of environmental laws and regulations, but inasmuch as such laws and regulations are frequently changed, we are unable to predict the ultimate cost of compliance. There can be no assurance that more stringent laws and regulations protecting the environment will not be adopted or that we will not otherwise incur material expenses in connection with environmental laws and regulations in the future.

Occupational Health and Safety

     Lucas Energy is also subject to laws and regulations concerning occupational safety and health. Due to the continued changes in these laws and regulations, and the judicial construction of many of them, Lucas Energy is unable to predict with any reasonable degree of certainty its future costs of complying with these laws and regulations. Lucas

13

Energy considers the cost of safety and health compliance a necessary and manageable part of its business. Lucas Energy has been able to plan for and comply with new initiatives without materially altering its operating strategies.

     Lucas Energy is subject to certain laws and regulations relating to environmental remediation activities associated with past operations, such as the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act ("CERCLA") and similar state statutes. In response to liabilities associated with these activities, accruals have been established when reasonable estimates are possible. Such accruals primarily include estimated costs associated with remediation. Lucas Energy has used discounting to present value in determining its accrued liabilities for environmental remediation or well closure, but no material claims for possible recovery from third party insurers or other parties related to environmental costs have been recognized in Lucas Energy's financial statements. Lucas Energy adjusts the accruals when new remediation responsibilities are discovered and probable costs become estimable, o r when current remediation estimates must be adjusted to reflect new information.

Taxation

     The operations of the Company, as is the case in the petroleum industry generally, are significantly affected by federal tax laws. Federal, as well as state, tax laws have many provisions applicable to corporations which could affect the future tax liability of the Company.

Commitments and Contingencies

     Lucas Energy is liable for future restoration and abandonment costs associated with its oil and gas properties. These costs include future site restoration, post closure and other environmental exit costs. The costs of future restoration and well abandonment have not been determined in detail. State regulations require operators to post bonds that assure that well sites will be properly plugged and abandoned. Each state in which Lucas Energy operates requires a security bond varying in value from state to state and depending on the number of wells that Lucas Energy operates. Management views this as a necessary requirement for operations within each state and does not believe that these costs will have a material adverse effect on its financial position as a result of this requirement.

ITEM 2.

PROPERTIES.

Our properties consist of working and royalty interests owned by us in various oil and gas wells and oil and gas

lease acreage located in Texas.

Oil and Gas Acreage

     The following table sets forth the developed leasehold acreage held by us as of March 31, 2009 and 2008. Gross acres are the total number of acres we have a working interest. Net acres are the sum of our fractional working interests owned in the gross acres.

     In certain leases, our ownership varies at different depths; therefore, the net acreage in these leases is calculated using the lowest ownership interest at any depth.

Reserves

     Our proved reserves and the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows of our interests in proved oil and gas reserves at March 31, 2009 are set forth below:

15

     Our proved reserves and the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows of our interests in proved oil and gas reserves at March 31, 2008 are set forth below:

     The proved reserves estimates contained in the above tables at March 31, 2009 and 2008 are based primarily on reserve reports prepared by of Forest A. Garb & Associates, independent petroleum consultants to the Company. The present values of the proved reserves identified in the tables are prepared by discounting future projected net cash flows computed with constant oil and gas prices of $48.16 per barrel (Bbl) and $3.64 per thousand cubic feet (Mcf) and constant future production and development costs less estimated future income tax expense. The constant oil and gas prices used at March 31, 2008 were $103.99 per barrel and $6.44 per thousand cubic feet, respectively. The estimated future net cash flows are then discounted at a rate of 10 percent per year.

     Reserve reports prepared by petroleum engineers and used by the Company are, by their very nature, inexact and subject to changes and revisions. Proved developed reserves are reserves expected to be recovered from existing wells with existing equipment and methods. Proved undeveloped reserves are expected to be recovered from new wells drilled to known reservoirs on undrilled acreage for which existence and recoverability of such reserves can be estimated with reasonable certainty, or from existing wells where a relatively major expenditure is required to establish production. No estimates of reserves have been included in any reports to any federal agency other than the SEC.

     See Supplemental Information on Oil and Gas Producing Activities included as part of our consolidated financial statements.

Overview

     Lucas is an independent oil and gas company based in Houston, Texas that holds approximately 15,100 gross acres under oil and gas leases in South Texas primarily in the Gonzales County, Texas area. Our strategy is to acquire underperforming oil and gas assets in which we believe we can increase production. We focus on building, revitalizing and developing a diversified portfolio of oil and gas properties. In addition to our approximately 12,600 net acreage position under oil and gas leases, we currently operate 26 producing wells that produce approximately 125 – 135 barrels of oil per day (“BOPD”), gross. We control another 16 shut-in or plugged wells bores. We own 100% working interest in all but one of our operated wells. We also hold non-operating interests in 3 wells in Gonzales, Texas.

     We seek to acquire shut-in wells that we believe have been overlooked by other companies and have, in our assessment, a high probability of additional recovery of reserves through our revitalization process or through the drilling of new laterals. Specifically, we seek out opportunities to acquire wells located in mature oil fields that we believe are underdeveloped and have the potential to recover significant oil reserves that are still in place. Most of the acquisition prospects that we conduct initial screening on are sourced directly by our senior management or specialized third-party consultants with local area knowledge.

     Our revenues are derived primarily from the sale of the oil that we produce from our wells. We derive ancillary revenue from associated natural gas produced in connection with production from our oil wells. Our revitalization of wells program enables us to generate short-term cash and to hold the lease for additional future development.

23

Oil and Gas Operating Activities

     Our revitalization process is directed toward bringing wells back into production, or to enhance production through ordinary practices used in the oil and gas industry. Our revitalization procedures used on acquired wells include the installation of new or good used equipment on the well; cleaning out the well with open ended tubing, tubing with a bit, or tubing with a mule shoe; treating the well with acid, soapy water, or other proprietary chemicals sourced from third parties; re-entry of a plugged and abandoned well; and drilling of a new lateral extension on an existing well.

     Our capital program is comprised of development activities that involve: (i) drilling of new laterals from existing wells bores in the Austin Chalk formation, (ii) re-entry of shut-in and previously plugged and abandoned wells; and (iii) “clean out” of old laterals. In connection with the capital projects we will be able to acquire data on the vertically adjacent Buda and Eagleford formations. The drilling of new laterals allow for more aerial access to the Austin Chalk formation in order to increase the flow rate and to recover additional oil and gas reserves not recoverable from the existing vertical (straight) holes. A portion of the capital projects we intend to undertake are:

(1) Initial production is calculated at 8/8th interest. (2) Before federal income tax.

     Proved Producing PV 10, as identified in the above tables, is a 10% discount applied to estimated future net revenues. Estimated future net revenues are based on estimated net reserves, using constant oil and gas prices and costs, Oil and gas prices used in the derivation of the PV10 were $48.16 per barrel (Bbl) and $3.64 per thousand cubic feet (Mcf), respectively, for this purpose.

Results of Operations

     The following table sets forth the revenue and production data for continuing operations for the two most recent fiscal years ended March 31, 2009 and 2008.

25

For the Year Ended March 31, 2009 Compared to the Year Ended March 31, 2008

Management Analysis of Operation

Results of Operations:

Oil and Gas Revenues

     The $311,392 increase in our oil and gas net sales was primarily attributable to an increase of 4,581 barrels of production of oil and 5,793 mcf of natural gas through the ongoing acquisition and rework program. Our increase in revenue was limited due to a $2.50 per barrel decrease in the average price realized from the sale of our oil production.

     Overall, our production increase in fiscal 2009 reflects the $4,004,694 in capital expenditures we made on our acquisition and rework program and our development activities on existing well sites.

Lease Operating Expenses

     Lease operating expenses increased $737,087 due to the overall increases in production from our acquisition and development activities. We experienced a $15.18 per barrel oil equivalent increase in production costs due to increased field costs from additional production volumes, $324,000 in workovers and $139,000 in chemical treatments. We achieved certain economies of scale associated with performing projects in a limited geographical area thereby allowing our fixed production costs to be substantially unchanged and therefore allocable over greater production. Normal workover costs for equipment repairs, maintenance of ongoing production and unsuccessful workovers undertaken to increase production are expensed in the year incurred. Workover activity can significantly affect production volumes and, accordingly, the production cost per barrel over each period.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses remained relatively steady with a $2,814 decrease.

Interest Expense

     Interest expense decreased $12,684. The decrease is attributable to the repayment in July 2007 of $2,300,000 of debt issued in August 2006 and new borrowings on the line of credit beginning in October 2008.

Unrealized and Realized Losses

     Unrealized losses on marketable securities totaled $2,095,019 and resulted from shares of Bonanza Oil and Gas, Inc. that are held. The realized losses totaling $121,273 were associated with crude oil commodity contracts that were linked to NYMEX crude oil futures contracts.

Interest Income

     Interest income decreased $133,509 attributable to a decrease in the average amount of cash on hand following the sale of common stock in fiscal 2008 and interest related to notes receivable.

Income Tax Expense

     Income tax expense decreased due primarily to a reduction in net income as a result of increased lease operating expenses and unrealized loss on investments, resulting in a reduction of net income.

Net Income

     The $2,122,093 decrease in net income is primarily attributable to unrealized losses on investments of $2,095,019 and an increase in lease operating expenses of $737,087, which offset the increase of $301,392 in total revenues.

26

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     As of March 31, 2009, we had cash of $136,841 and negative working capital of $513,240, that includes a provision to repay $300,000 on our Amegy Credit Facility. This compares to cash of $1,142,386 and working capital of $2,954,739 at March 31, 2008. During fiscal 2008, we completed a private placement that provided net proceeds of $11,364,483. We used the funds received in the private placement principally to repay the $2,300,000 note payable and acquire oil and gas property and equipment. During fiscal 2009, we used the remaining proceeds from the private placement from fiscal 2008 and added a revolving line of credit to assist with funding our capital and operating expenses.

     We anticipate that cash flow from operations combined with cash on hand is sufficient to cover our operating and general and administrative requirements for our fiscal year 2010. In order to fully execute our capital program over the next twelve months we intend to seek additional financing in the form of common equity, convertible preferred or convertible debt, and joint venture partners. An acceleration of acquisitions or our planned drilling operations would require that we secure additional financing more quickly. We have no definitive agreements or arrangements for additional funding. Additional financing, if needed, through partnering, public or private equity financings, lease transactions or other financing sources may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all. Additional equity financings could result in significant dilution to our stockholders.

     In fiscal 2008, Lucas issued 2,763,049 Units in a private placement for $4.60 per Unit. Lucas received gross proceeds of $12,710,001 (net proceeds of $11,364,483 after placement costs). Each Unit was comprised of one share of restricted common stock and one common stock purchase warrant. Each warrant is exercisable at $8.00 per share of common stock for a period of 3 years. The holders of the warrants, at their option, can exercise the warrants on a cashless basis.

In the opinion of management, inflation has not had a material effect on the operations of Lucas Energy.

Cash flow from operating activities

     For the year ended March 31, 2009, net cash provided from operating activities was $581,929 compared to net cash provided from operating activities of $1,162,356 for the year ended March 31, 2008. The $580,427 decrease in net cash provided from operating activities is primarily due to the decrease in accounts payable.

Cash flow from investing activities

     For the year ended March 31, 2009, net cash used in investing activities was $3,921,369, primarily attributed to our drilling and continued rework program compared to net cash used in investing activities of a $9,794,471 for the year ended March 31, 2008 for similar activities. Our investing activities in fiscal 2009 were funded from the use of remaining proceeds from the private placement completed in the second quarter 2008, advances from the credit facility and cash provided from operations.

Cash flow from financing activities

     For the year ended March 31, 2009, net cash flow from financing activities was $2,333,895, primarily attributable to advances from our credit facility compared to cash flow provided from financing activities of $9,064,483 for the year ended March 31, 2008, which was primarily attributable to our net $11,364,483 million Unit offering.

Hedging

     We did not hedge any of our oil or natural gas production during fiscal 2009 or 2008 and have not entered into any such hedges from March 31, 2009 through the date of this filing.

Contractual Commitments

None

Critical Accounting Policies

     Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on 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 us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

     In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 159 (“SFAS 159”), “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115.” This pronouncement permits entities to use the fair value method to measure certain financial assets and liabilities by electing an irrevocable option to use the fair value method at specified election dates. After election of the option, subsequent changes in fair value would result in the recognition of unrealized gains or losses as period costs during the period the change occurred. SFAS 159 becomes effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007, with early adoption permitted. However, entities may not retroactively apply the provisions of SFAS 159 to fiscal years preceding the date of adoption. We are currently evaluating the impact that SFAS 159 may have on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

     In December 2008, the SEC released Final Rule, “ Modernization of Oil and Gas Reporting .” The new disclosure requirements include provisions that permit the use of new technologies to determine proved reserves if those technologies have been demonstrated empirically to lead to reliable conclusions about reserve volumes. The new requirements also will allow companies to disclose their probable and possible reserves to investors. In addition, the new disclosure requirements require that companies 1) report the independence and qualifications of its reserves preparer or auditor, 2) file reports when a third party is relied upon to prepare reserves estimates or conduct a reserves audit, 3) report oil and gas reserves using an average price based upon the prior 12-month period rather than year-end prices. The new disclosure requirements are effective for financial statements for fiscal years ending on or after December 31, 2009. Early adoption is not permitted. We are currently assessing the impact, if any, that the adoption of the pronouncement will have on ouroperating results, financial position or cash flows.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

     Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

     In connection with the preparation of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2009, as required by Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act. Based on the evaluation described above, our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has concluded that, as of March 31, 2009, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

     We concluded that the consolidated financial statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K present fairly, in all material respects, the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the year ended March 31, 2009 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principals (“GAAP”).

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

     Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of our principal executive and principal financial officers to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP.

     Due to inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements and, even when determined to be effective, can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to risk that controls may become inadequate as a result of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance.

     Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2009 based on the criteria framework established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Based on the assessment, our management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of March 31, 2009.

     This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over our financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by ourregistered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the company to provide only management's report in this Annual Report.

Information Concerning the Board of Directors and its Committees.

     All directors hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors have been duly elected and qualified. There are no agreements with respect to the election of directors. We have not compensated our directors for service on the Board of Directors or any committee thereof, but directors are reimbursed for expenses incurred for attendance at meetings of the Board and any committee thereof. Executive officers are appointed annually by the Board and each executive officer serves at the discretion of the Board. The Executive Committee of the Board of Directors, to the extent permitted under Nevada law, exercises all of the power and authority of the Board in the management of the business and affairs of Lucas Energy between meetings of the Board.

     The Board of Directors is comprised of a majority of the directors who are independent, and the Board has determined that Mr. Hofheinz, Mr. Grunebaum, and Mr. Wold do not have a material relationship with Company that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out their responsibilities of a director. The Board has established an Audit and Ethics Committee, a Nominating Committee and a Compensation Committee that are solely comprised of the aforementioned independent directors.

The business experience of each of the persons listed above during the past five years is as follows:

ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANTS FEES AND SERVICES

     Our audit committee of the board of directors approves in advance the scope and cost of the engagement of an auditor before the auditor renders audit and non-audit services.

Audit Fees

     The aggregate fees billed by our independent auditors, GBH CPAs, PC and Malone & Bailey, PC for professional services rendered for the audit of our annual financial statements included in our Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the years ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, and for the review of quarterly financial statements included in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ending June 30, September 30, and December 31, 2008 and 2007, were:

     For the years ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, there were no fees billed for assurance and related services by GBH CPAs, PC or Malone & Bailey, PC relating to the performance of the audit of our financial statements which are not reported under the caption "Audit Fees" above.

Tax Fees

INDEX TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors
Lucas Energy, Inc.
Houston, Texas

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Lucas Energy, Inc. as of March 31, 2009 and 2008 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years ended March 31, 2009 and 2008. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of Lucas Energy, Inc.’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated 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 the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about 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 audit 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, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estim ates 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, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Lucas Energy, Inc. as of March 31, 2009 and 2008 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

LUCAS ENERGY, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND HISTORY

The Company was incorporated on December 16, 2003 in the State of Nevada as Panorama Investments, Corp. On June 16, 2006 the Company consummated a merger with Lucas Energy Resources, Inc. (“Lucas Resources”), a privately held oil and gas company which held oil and gas lease acreage and producing reserves in the State of Texas. The merger was made pursuant to a May 19, 2006 Acquisition and Exchange Agreement whereby the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock from the Lucas Resources shareholders. The merger was effected through a reverse merger with the shareholders of Lucas Resources assuming control of and responsibilities for the Company’s activities. In conjunction with the reverse merger, the name of the company was changed to Lucas Energy, Inc. (“Lucas”).

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Lucas' consolidated financial statements are based on a number of significant estimates, including oil and gas reserve quantities which are the basis for the calculation of depreciation, depletion and impairment of oil and gas properties, and timing and costs associated with its retirement obligations.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in banks and financial instruments which mature within three months of the date of purchase.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject Lucas to concentration of credit risk consist of cash and accounts receivable. At March 31, 2009, Lucas’ cash balances were within federal insured limits and were fully insured. Lucas maintains cash accounts only at large high quality financial institutions and Lucas believes the credit risk associated with cash held in banks is remote.

Lucas' receivables primarily consist of accounts receivable from oil and gas sales. Accounts receivable are recorded at invoiced amount and generally do not bear interest. Any allowance for doubtful accounts is based on management's estimate of the amount of probable losses due to the inability to collect from customers. As of March 31, 2009, no allowance for doubtful accounts has been recorded. Lucas’ oil and gas accounts receivable are collateral to the Revolving Line of Credit with Amegy Bank that was closed on October 8, 2008 (See Note 6).

Sales to one customer comprised 88% and 86% of Lucas’ total oil and gas revenues for the fiscal years ending March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Lucas believes that, in the event that its primary customer was unable or unwilling to continue to purchase Lucas’ production, there are a substantial number of alternative buyers for its production at comparable prices.

Marketable Securities

Lucas reports its short-term investments and other marketable securities at fair value. At March 31, 2009, Lucas' short-term investments consisted of shares of common stock held in Bonanza Oil & Gas, Inc. (“Bonanza”). The shares of common stock held in Bonanza have always been recorded on Lucas' balance sheet at fair value. Prior to March 31, 2008, the changes in the fair value of investments held by Lucas were recorded directly to stockholders’ equity as part of “accumulated other comprehensive income”.

F - 8

Effective April 1, 2008 Lucas adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115

(“Statement No. 159”) and changes in the fair value of investments held by Lucas are reported in Lucas’ results of operations. Statement No. 159 provides the option to value its financial assets and liabilities, on an instrument by instrument basis, at fair value, and include the change in fair value of such assets and liabilities in its results of operations. Lucas chose to apply the provisions of Statement No. 159 to all its existing investments. Commencing April 1, 2008, changes in the fair value of investments owned by Lucas are reported in Lucas' results of operations.

For the year ended March 31, 2009, the change in fair value of financial instruments caption on Lucas' statement of operations includes an unrealized loss of $2,095,019 related to its Bonanza common stock investments, and a $121,273 realized loss related to other marketable securities. Prior to adopting Statement No. 159, unrealized gains (net of tax) of $1,229,253 were included in other comprehensive income. This is the amount of unrealized gains that, prior to Lucas' adoption of Statement No. 159, had not been recorded in Lucas' historical results of operations.

Upon the adoption of Statement No. 159, as of April 1, 2008, the cumulative unrealized gain of $1,229,253 (net of deferred taxes of $633,252) was reclassified on Lucas' balance sheet from “accumulated other comprehensive income” to retained earnings. The deferred tax portion of the unrealized gain totaling $633,252 was reflected in deferred tax liabilities. Lucas also adopted as of April 1, 2008, the SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“Statement No. 157”). Statement No. 157 provides a common definition of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements, but it does not require any new fair value measurements. The adoption of Statement No. 157 had no impact on Lucas' financial stat ements, but the adoption did result in additional required disclosures as set forth in Note 3.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

As at March 31, 2009, the fair value of cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate carrying values because of the short-term maturity of these instruments.

Oil and Gas Properties, Full Cost Method

Lucas uses 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 capitalized as oil and gas property costs on a county by country basis. 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. Lucas 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 Lucas to obtain funds to finance such exploration and development. If the results of an assessment indicate that the pro perties are impaired, the amount of the impairment is added to the capitalized costs to be amortized.

Costs of oil and gas properties are amortized using the units of production method. Amortization expense calculated per equivalent physical unit of production amounted to $20.56 per barrel of oil equivalent (“BOE”) and $18.38 per BOE for the years ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively..

Ceiling Test

In applying the full cost method, Lucas performs an impairment test (ceiling test) at each reporting date, whereby the carrying value of property and equipment is compared to the “estimated present value,” of its proved reserves discounted at a 10-percent interest rate of future net revenues, based on current economic and operating conditions at March 31, 2009, plus the cost of properties not being amortized, plus the lower of cost or fair market value of unproved properties included in costs being amortized, less the income tax effects related to book and tax basis differences of the properties. If capitalized costs exceed this limit, the excess is charged as an impairment expense. As of March 31, 2009 and 2008, no impairment of oil and gas properties was recorded, respectively.

F - 9

Furniture and Office Equipment

Furniture and office equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of three to five years.

Deferred Taxes

Deferred taxes are provided on the liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and accrued tax liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

Earnings per Share of Common Stock

Basic and diluted net income per share calculations are calculated on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Purchases of treasury stock reduce the outstanding shares commencing on the date that the stock is purchased. Common stock equivalents are excluded from the calculation when a loss is incurred as their effect would be anti-dilutive. The basic income per share of common stock is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding at the date of the financial statements.

Revenue and Cost Recognition

Lucas recognizes oil and natural gas revenue under the sales method of accounting for its interests in producing wells as oil and natural gas is produced and sold from those wells. Oil and natural gas sold by Lucas is not significantly different from Lucas’ share of production. Costs associated with production are expensed in the period incurred.

Income Taxes

FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, ("FIN 48"). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The new FASB standard also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. The evaluation of a tax position in accordance with FIN 48 is a two-step process. The first step is a recognition process whereby the enterprise determines whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be susta ined upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. In evaluating whether a tax position has met the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the enterprise should presume that the position will be examined by the appropriate taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. The second step is a measurement process whereby a tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is calculated to determine

F - 10

the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. The tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The provisions of FIN 48 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The provisions of FIN 48 are to be applied to all tax positions upon initial adoption of this standard. The adoption of FIN 48 had no material impact to Lucas’ consolidated financial statement. Tax years subsequent to 2005 remain open to examination by U.S. federal and state jurisdictions.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the FASB having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, SFAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurement. SFAS 157, as originally issued, was effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. However, on December 14, 2007, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position FAS157- b, which proposed deferring the effective date of SFAS 157 for one year, as it relates to nonfinancial assets and liabilities. Lucas adopted SFAS 157 as it relates to financial assets and liabilities as of April 1, 2008. Lucas is evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 157 related to nonfinancial assets and liabilities will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No 157 (FSP 157-2”). FSP 157-2 delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for all non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually), to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 and interim periods for those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that SFAS No,. 157 will have on the financial statements when it is applied to non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities that are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2010.

In June 2008, FASB ratified EITF No. 07-05, Determining Whether an Instrument (or an Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock (“EITF 07-05”). EITF 07-05 provides that an entity should use a two-step approach to evaluate whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to its own stock, including evaluating the instrument’s contingent exercise and settlement provisions. EITF 07-05 is effective March 1, 2009. The Company has determined that there are no outstanding warrants that are affected by the adoption of ETIF 07-05, and thus it is not impacted by its adoption of EITF 07-05.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly”

(FAS 157-4) to amend SFAS 157, . FAS 157-4 provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with SFAS 157 when the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability has significantly decreased. In addition, FAS 157-4 includes guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. FAS 157-4 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company is currently assessing the impact, if any, that the adoption of this pronouncement will have on the Company’s operating results, financial position or cash flows.

In December 2008, the SEC released Final Rule, “ Modernization of Oil and Gas Reporting” The new disclosure requirements include provisions that permit the use of new technologies to determine proved reserves if those technologies have been demonstrated empirically to lead to reliable conclusions about reserve volumes. The new requirements also will allow companies to disclose their probable and possible reserves to investors. In addition, the new disclosure requirements require that companies 1) report the independence and qualifications of its reserves preparer or auditor, 2) file reports when a third party is relied upon to prepare reserves estimates or conduct a reserves audit, 3) report oil and gas reserves using an average price based upon the prior 12-m onth period rather than year-end prices. The new disclosure requirements are effective for financial statements for fiscal years ending on or after December 31, 2009. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact, if any that the adoption of the pronouncement will have on the Company’s operating results, financial position or cash flows.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162 “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”

(“SFAS 162”), which identifies a consistent framework for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements for nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The current GAAP hierarchy was criticized due to its complexity, ranking

F - 11

position of FASB Statements of Financial Accounting Concepts and the fact that is directed at auditors rather than entities. SFAS 162 became effective on November 15, 2008 and the SFAS did not an impact on operating results, financial position or cash flows of the Company.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

NOTE 3 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable (including income taxes payable and accrued expenses) included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets approximated fair value at March 31, 2009, and they are not presented in the following table associated with the fair value measurement of Lucas’ investments.

Statement No. 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. As presented in the table above, this hierarchy consists of three broad levels. Level 1 inputs on the hierarchy consist of unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities and have the highest priority. Level 2 inputs consist of fair values of the investment in commodity futures contracts, which are estimated valuations provided by counterparties using the Black-Scholes model based upon the forward commodity price curves as of the end of the quarter, implied volatilities of commodities, and a risk free rate (using the treasury yield as of the end of the quarter). Level 3 inputs have the lowest priority. Lucas uses appropriate valuation techniques based on the available inputs to measure the fair values of its assets and liabilities. When available, Lucas measures fa ir value using Level 1 inputs because they generally provide the most reliable evidence of fair value.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values of the assets and liabilities in the table above.

LEVEL 1 FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Short-term Investments in Marketable Securities -- The fair values of these investments are based on quoted market prices. Lucas' short-term investments as of March 31, 2009 consisted entirely of trading securities which are subject to market fluctuations.

MARKETABLE SECURITIES

Lucas’ marketable securities at March 31, 2009 are comprised of shares of common stock in Bonanza Oil & Gas, Inc. (“Bonanza”) acquired by Lucas in October 2007 as consideration in the sale of its 25% working interest in the ApClark prospect located in Borden County, Texas to Bonanza. The working interest was valued at $848,850 and Lucas received 3,000,000 shares of Bonanza common stock in exchange for its ApClark interest. Lucas sold 1,290,000 shares of the stock to a third party in November 2007 for $365,000 and no gain or loss was recognized on the sale. On November 15, 2007 Bonanza effected a forward split of 2.1 to 1.

In February 2008, Lucas exchanged a $32,000 note receivable due from Global Production, Inc. for 75,700 shares of Bonanza valued at $32,000. No gain or loss was recorded on this transaction. At March 31, 2009, Lucas holds 3,666,700 shares of Bonanza common stock.

On May 2, 2008 Lucas purchased six commodity contracts that were linked to the NYMEX crude oil futures contracts. At the time the contracts were closed out Lucas had a realized loss on the NYMEX contracts totaling $121,273.

F - 12

NOTE 4 – NOTES RECEIVABLE

During the fiscal year 2008, Lucas loaned $400,000 to Plantation Exploration, Inc. (“Plantation”) as part of a participation agreement for Plantation to identify potential oil and gas prospects in which Lucas would participate. The note bore an interest rate of 8% per annum with a six-month term. During the fourth quarter of its fiscal year ending March 31, 2008, Lucas exchanged the $400,000 note receivable with Plantation plus accrued interest of $22,444 and an outstanding trade account receivable with Plantation of $20,987 for working interests in a seven well program that was valued at $634,610. Three wells in the program were productive, and continue to produce. No gain or loss was recorded on these transactions.

In February 2008, Lucas exchanged the $32,000 note receivable due from Global for 75,700 shares of Bonanza Oil & Gas, Inc. valued at $32,000. No gain or loss was recorded on these transactions.

NOTE 5 – OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES

All of Lucas’ oil and gas properties are located in the United States. Costs being amortized at March 31, 2009 and 2008 are as follows:

		2009			2008
Proved leasehold costs	$	9,973,019		$	9,394,722

NOTE 6 - REVOLVING LINE OF CREDIT AND LETTER OF CREDIT FACILITY

On October 8, 2008, Lucas entered into a Revolving Line of Credit and Letter of Credit Facility with Amegy Bank (“Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility provides Lucas with up to a $100 million oil and gas reserve-based revolving line of credit that matures on October 8, 2011 (the “Revolving Line of Credit”). The availability of credit and repayments under the Credit Facility are subject to periodic borrowing base redeterminations. The Credit Facility provides for scheduled semiannual borrowing base redeterminations on June 1 and December 1, or at any other time that Amegy or Lucas may request an unscheduled redetermination; but neither is obligated to accommodate an unscheduled redetermination more than once between the scheduled semiannual redeterminations.

At closing, Lucas had immediate access to a $3.0 million line of credit with Amegy Bank. The Credit Facility provides for Lucas’ borrowing capacity to periodically increase or decrease as the collateral value of the proved reserves securing the Credit Facility fluctuates from factors such as change in market prices, revisions to reserve estimates and operating cost estimates, and as the results of drilling and development activities are acquired and interpreted. Proceeds from borrowings under the Credit Facility are to be used to: (1) finance trade payables; (2) fund Lucas’ continuing lateral drilling and revitalization programs on existing wells; (3) finance leasehold acquisitions; (4) conduct other activities on the Lucas properties; and (5) fund general working capital requirements. The Credit Facility is secured by first liens on Lucas’ existing and after acquired oil and gas properties.

The Credit Facility provides for interest on borrowed funds at rates set forth in the Credit Facility, but not less than a 5.0% annual rate. Borrowing under the Credit Facility bear interest at either of the greater of a base rate or the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50% per annum. The base rate is published Amegy prime rate. Additionally, the Credit Facility provides for a variable commitment fee not to exceed a 0.05% annual rate for the unused portion of the full line of credit; and for Lucas’ repayment of funds borrowed within three (3) years of closing the Credit Facility. Lucas’ interest rate on the Credit Facility for borrowed funds since its execution was and continues to be 5.0% per annum paid monthly.

F - 13

At closing in October 2008, Lucas’ initial borrowing capacity on the Credit Facility was set at $3.0 million. In conjunction with Amegy’s periodic evaluation and redetermination of the collateral value of the oil and gas reserves securing the Credit Facility, on March 30, 2009 Amegy adjusted their lending commitment to $2.7 million on the Credit Facility, with a $25,000 per month reduction in their commitment until the next redetermination of the borrowing base is made. There is no requirement upon the next redetermination to eliminate any existing monthly commitment reductions.

The Credit Facility contains covenants that Lucas is required to meet including: a) maintain a current ratio not less than 1.00 to 1.00 at any time; b) prohibit the ratio of Indebtedness to adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) from being more than 3.75 to 1.00 (as defined in the credit agreement) for the preceding four quarterly periods; and c) limit general and administrative expenses (determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles) during a fiscal quarter to no more than twenty-five percent (25.0%) of revenue less recurring lease operating expenses and taxes for the quarter.

At March 31, 2009 the principal balance outstanding on the Credit Facility totaled $2,650,000 and there was $50,000 remaining available under the Credit Facility. Lucas has incurred interest totaling $39,868 since closing the Credit Facility through the period ending March 31, 2009. Lucas is subject to certain financial covenants under the Credit Facility. At March 31, 2009, Lucas did not meet the financial covenant requirements of the Credit Facility. Lucas requested and received waivers from Amegy of the current ratio and the general and administrative expense covenants at March 31, 2009, and Amegy waived any remedies at March 31, 2009 for not meeting the aforementioned covenants. Lucas is subject to evaluating its compliance with the financial covenants on June 30, 2009, at which time it will either meet its covenants or be required to request another waiver. Amegy mare or may not grant Lucas a waiver, if required.

In connection with the Revolving Line of Credit Facility, Lucas capitalized transaction costs totaling $421,751. These deferred financing costs are being amortized over the three year term of the Credit Facility using the effective interest rate method and are recorded to interest expense. For the year ended March 31, 2009, Lucas recorded interest expense for the amortization of the deferred financing costs totaling $49,223, and the unamortized balance of the transactions costs total $372,528 at March 31, 2009. The current portion of the deferred financing costs totaling $121,606 is reported in other current assets in Lucas’ consolidated balance sheet.

NOTE 7 – NOTES PAYABLE

During the quarter ended September 30, 2006, Lucas entered into a Promissory Note in the amount of $2,300,000 with an original maturity date of February 3, 2008. On June 25, 2007, the maturity date was extended to February 3, 2009. The note bore interest at a rate of 14.5% per annum due quarterly. The note was held by private investors and was secured by the assets acquired from the Wilson Oil and Gas Company on August 8, 2006. The note was fully repaid including accrued interest of $71,268 on July 20, 2007.

NOTE 8 – ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS

Lucas records the fair value of a liability for asset retirement obligations (“ARO”) in the period in which it is incurred and a corresponding increase in the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. The present value of the estimated asset retirement cost is capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset and is depreciated over the useful life of the asset. Lucas accrues an abandonment liability associated with its oil and gas wells when those assets are placed in service. The ARO is recorded at its estimated fair value and accretion is recognized over time as the discounted liability is accreted to its expected settlement value. Fair value is determined by using the expected future cash outflows discounted at Lucas's credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate. No market risk premium has been included in Lucas's calculation of the ARO balance. Lucas recorded $181,599 and $141,512 of asset re tirement obligations for the years ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

The following is a description of the changes to the Company's asset retirement obligations for the years ended March 31, 2009 and 2008.

		2009			2008
Asset retirement obligations at beginning of year	$	141,512		$	111,022
Additions for development drilling		21,129			13,520

NOTE 9 – INCOME TAXES

The total provision for income taxes consisted of the following for the years ended:

Reconciliation between actual tax expense (benefit) and income taxes computed by applying the U.S. federal income tax rate and state income tax rate to income from continuing operations before income taxes are as follows:

Tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the deferred tax assets and deferred liabilities are presented below:

At March 31, 2009, had estimated net operating loss carryforwards for federal and state income tax purposes of approximately $8,895,000 which will begin to expire, if unused, beginning in 2026.

The above estimates are based upon management’s decisions concerning certain elections which could change the relationship between net income and taxable income. Management decisions are made annually and could cause the estimates to vary significantly.

NOTE 10 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Common Stock

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, Lucas issued 2,763,049 Units in a private placement for $4.60 per Unit. Lucas received gross proceeds of $12,710,001 (net proceeds of $11,364,483 after placement costs). Each Unit was comprised of one share of restricted common stock and one common stock purchase warrant. Each warrant is exercisable at $8.00 per share of common stock for a period of 3 years. The holders of the warrants, at their option, can exercise the warrants on a cashless basis. Lucas issued 247,500 warrants to purchase common stock to the placement agents with an exercise price of $8.00 per share for a period of 3 years with a value of $1,230,426. The relative fair value of the Common Stock and the Common Stock Purchase Warrants comprising the Units are as follows:

On March 14, 2008, Lucas compensated their directors by issuing 35,033 shares of restricted common stock at a price of $3.00 per share. Lucas expensed $105,000 in directors’ compensation for the year ended March 31, 2008.

On September 8, 2008, Lucas issued 5,250 shares of restricted common stock to a geologist for their services on various oil and gas properties. These shares were valued and recorded at $17,378 as an addition to the oil and gas full cost pool.

On September 8, 2008 and October 29, 2009, Lucas repurchased 10,000 shares and 26,900 shares, respectively of its common stock in the open market trading at a total cost of $49,159. The shares are held by Lucas’ transfer agent as Treasury stock, and the shares are treated as issued but not outstanding at March 31, 2009.

On January 31, 2009, Lucas issued 12,719 shares of restricted common stock to a geologist for his services on various oil and gas properties. These shares were valued and recorded at $7,250 as an addition to the oil and gas full cost pool.

On February 28, 2009, Lucas issued 19,230 shares of restricted common stock to an officer pursuant to his compensation arrangement with the Company. These shares were valued and recorded at $8,846.

On March 31, 2009, Lucas issued 100,000 shares of restricted common stock to Directors for their services. These shares were valued and recorded at $45,000.

Preferred Stock

Lucas has authorized 10,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value preferred stock. No shares were outstanding as of March 31, 2009 and 2008.

NOTE 11 – OPTIONS AND WARRANTS

On September 2, 2008, Lucas granted 200,000 non-qualified options to purchase Lucas’ common stock to an officer of Lucas. These options were to vest as follows: 50,000 on March 1, 2009; 50,000 on September 1, 2009; 50,000 on March 1, 2010; and 50,000 on September 1, 2010 at an exercise price of $2.60 per share. The options expire in September 2010. The stock options were valued at $267,083 using the Black-Scholes Options Pricing Model with the following assumptions: i) expected share price volatility of 95.93%; ii) risk free interest rate of 2.26%; iii) contractual term weighted of two years; and iv) no dividend yield. Due to the termination of employment of the officer in January 2009, all options vested upon termination and Lucas recognized the total value of $267,083 during the year ended March 31, 2009 as a non-cash charge for stock-based compensation expense.

In September 2007, Lucas completed a private placement in which it sold 2,763,049 Units. Each Unit was comprised of one share of restricted common stock and a warrant to purchase one share of common stock at $8.00

F - 16

per share for a period of three years. Also in connection with the private placement, Lucas issued 247,500 warrants to the placement agents, and each warrant entitles the placement agents the right to purchase one share of common stock at $8.00 per share for a period of three years. All warrants issued were outstanding at March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2008 had $-0- intrinsic value.

NOTE 12 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Lucas leases approximately 3,266 square feet of office space in Bellaire, Texas that serves as its corporate office. The lease is for 18 ½ months, with lease payments of $4,978 per month from December 15, 2008 through April 19, 2009 and lease payments of $5,062 per month from April 20, 2009 through expiration on June 30, 2010. Total rent expense was $46,062 for the year ended March 31, 2009 and $28,432 for the year ended March 31, 2008.

As of March 31, 2009, Lucas had no drilling commitments for drilling and completion of wells in progress.

F - 17

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION ON OIL AND GAS PRODUCING ACTIVITIES (UNAUDITED)

The following supplemental unaudited information regarding Lucas Energy’s oil and gas activities is presented pursuant to the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 69. The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows is computed by applying constant prices of oil and gas to the estimated future production of proved oil and gas reserves, less estimated future expenditures (based on period-end costs) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved reserves, less estimated future income tax expenses (based on period-end statutory tax rates) to be incurred on pre-tax net cash flows less tax basis of the properties and available credits, and assuming continuation of existing economic conditions. The estimated future net cash flows are then discounted using a rate of 10 percent per year to reflect the estimated timing of the future cash flows. All operations of Lucas are located in the United States.

F - 18

During the years ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, Lucas had reserve studies and estimates prepared on its various properties. The difficulties and uncertainties involved in estimating proved oil and gas reserves makes comparisons between companies difficult. Estimation of reserve quantities is subject to wide fluctuations because it is dependent on judgmental interpretation of geological and geophysical data.

(5) Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows Relating to Proved Oil and Gas Reserves

F - 19

The following schedule summarizes changes in the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flow relating to proved oil and gas reserves:

The above schedules relating to proved oil and gas reserves, standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows and changes in the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows have their foundation in engineering estimates of future net revenues that are derived from proved reserves and prepared using the prevailing economic conditions. These reserve estimates are made from evaluations conducted by independent geologists, of such properties and will be periodically reviewed based upon updated geological and production data. Estimates of proved reserves are inherently imprecise.

Subsequent development and production of Lucas's reserves will necessitate revising the present estimates. In addition, information provided in the above schedules does not provide definitive information as the results of any particular year but, rather, helps explain and demonstrate the impact of major factors affecting Lucas's oil and gas producing activities. Therefore, Lucas suggests that all of the aforementioned factors concerning assumptions and concepts should be taken into consideration when reviewing and analyzing this information.
