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:


FRED J. HOFHEINZ, CHAIRMAN OF BOARD, Chair of Nominating Committee


Mr. Hofheinz, the former Mayor of the City of Houston (1974-1978), began his business career with his late father, Roy Hofheinz, Sr., who built the Houston Astrodome and who was the initial owner of the Houston Astros baseball team.  Mr. Hofheinz played a key role in the family real estate development projects surrounding the Astrodome, including an amusement park – Astroworld and four hotels.  He was the senior officer of Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey Circus, which was owned by the Hofheinz family.   In 1971, Mr. Hofheinz co-founded a closed circuit television company, Top Rank, which is now the leading professional boxing promotion firm in the nation.  He has served as President of the Texas Municipal League and served on the boards of numerous other state and national organizations for municipal government elected officials.  In addition to his law practice, Mr. Hofheinz also owned several direct interests in oil and gas companies.  He has also dealt extensively with business interests, primarily oil and gas related, in the People’s Republic of China and in the Ukraine.


For the past five years Mr. Hofheinz has been an investor and a practicing attorney with the firm of Williams, Birnberg & Anderson in Houston, Texas, and the city that he served as mayor from 1974 to 1978.  While he has numerous investments in real estate, his principal investment interest is in oil and gas.  He has been actively engaged in successful exploration and production ventures, both domestic and international.  He holds a PhD in economics, from the University of Texas and takes an active interest in Houston’s civic and charitable affairs.  He was admitted to the Texas bar in 1964, having received his preparatory education at the University of Texas, (B.A., M.A., Ph.D., 1960-1964); and his Legal education at the University of Houston, (J.D., 1964).

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:


 

2009

2008

GBH CPAs, PC

$   79,965

$  66,990

Malone & Bailey, PC

$             -

$  56,758


Audit fees incurred by the Company were pre-approved by the Audit Committee.


Audit Related Fees


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


For the years ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, fees billed by GBH CPAs, PC or Malone & Bailey, PC, respectively, for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning were $-0- and $-0-, respectively.


We do not use the auditors for financial information system design and implementation. These services, which include designing or implementing a system that  aggregates  source data underlying the financial  statements or generates information  that is  significant  to our  financial  statements,  are  provided internally or by other service  providers.  We do not engage the auditors to provide compliance outsourcing services.


The audit committee of the board of directors has considered the nature and amount of fees billed by GBH CPAs, PC and Malone & Bailey, PC and believes that the provision of services for activities unrelated to the  audit  is compatible  with  maintaining GBH CPAs, PC and Malone & Bailey, PC’s  independence.


 All Other Fees


None.
