Item 8.01         Other Events.

As previously reported on July 12, 2009, Aurora Oil & Gas Corporation (the “Company”) and the Company’s subsidiary, Hudson Pipeline & Processing Co., LLC (together, the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”), in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Michigan (the “Court”).  The Debtors’ case is 09-08254(SWD).

As required in connection with the Debtors’ cases under the Bankruptcy Code, on November 19, 2009 the Debtors’ filed unaudited stand-alone Monthly Operating Reports for the twelve days ended July 12, 2009 (pre-petition), nineteen days ended July 31, 2009 (post-petition), one month ended July 31, 2009, August 31, 2009 and September 30, 2009, one and ten months ended October 31, 2009 and balances as of July 12, 2009 (filing date), July 31, 2009, August 31, 2009, September 30, 2009 and October 31, 2009 (the "MOR’s") with the Court. A copy of the MOR’s are filed as Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2 to this report.

On October 21, 2009, September 22, 2009 and September 10, 2009, the Debtors filed Forms 8-K containing the Monthly Operating Reports for September, August and July, respectively.  The MOR’s accompanying this filing merely add the information for October 2009.  Certain amounts contained in the accompanying MOR’s for September, August and July have been changed from those contained in the exhibits to the Forms 8-K filed on October 21, 2009, September 22, 2009 and September 10, 2009, and a footnote explanation describing the changes has been included on Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2 to this report.

The MOR’s were prepared solely for the purpose of complying with monthly reporting requirements of the Bankruptcy Code and in a format prescribed under the Bankruptcy Code and should not be used for investment purposes. The MOR’s are limited in scope and cover a limited time period and may not be indicative of the Debtors’ financial condition or results of operations for any period that would be reflected in the Debtors’ financial statements or, if filed, its periodic reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The financial information that the MOR’s contain is preliminary and unaudited and is subject to revision and additional qualifications and limitations as described in the Explanatory Notes to the MOR’s.  Readers are advised to read and consider such qualifications and limitations carefully. The MOR’s will not be subject to audit or review by the Company’s external auditors on a stand-alone basis at any time in the future.  The financial statements in the MOR’s are not prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") and, therefore, may exclude items required by GAAP, such as certain reclassifications, eliminations, accruals, valuations and disclosures. There can be no assurance that the information in the MOR’s are complete, and the Debtors caution readers not to place undue reliance on the MOR’s. The information in the MOR’s is not, and should not be viewed as, indicative of future results.

Additional information regarding the Debtors' bankruptcy cases, including access to court documents and other general information, are available to the public at www.donlinrecano.com/aurora. Information contained on, or that can be accessed through, this website is not part of this report.

Cautionary Note on Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Statements by the Debtors’ of expectations, anticipations, beliefs, plans, intentions, targets, estimates, or projections and similar expressions relating to the future are forward-looking statements within the meaning of these laws. Forward-looking statements in some cases can be identified by their being preceded by, followed by or containing words such as "estimate," "plan," "project," "forecast," "intend," "expect," "anticipate," "believe," "seek," "target" and other similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are based on assumptions and assessments made by the Debtors’ management in light of their experience and their perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors they believe to be appropriate. Any forward-looking statements are not guarantees of the Debtors’ future performance and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results, developments and business decisions to differ materially from those contemplated by any forward-looking statements. Except as required by law, the Debtors undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Investors are cautioned that all forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties including without limitation the Debtors’ ability to continue as a going concern; the Debtors’ ability to obtain additional debtor-in-possession (“DIP”) financing or authorization to use cash collateral on an interim or final basis to fund the Debtors’ working capital or other needs; the Debtors ability to obtain Court approval with respect to motions in the chapter 11 cases prosecuted by the Debtors’ from time to time; the Debtors’ ability to develop, prosecute, confirm and consummate a plan of reorganization with respect to the Debtors’ bankruptcy cases; risks associated with third parties seeking and obtaining court approval to terminate or shorten the exclusivity period that the Debtors have to propose and confirm a plan of reorganization, for the appointment of a chapter 11 trustee or examiner or to convert the Debtors’ bankruptcy cases to cases under chapter 7 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code; the Debtors’ ability to obtain and maintain normal terms with vendors, service providers, and leaseholders and to obtain orders authorizing payments to such parties; the Debtors’ ability to maintain contracts that are critical to its operations; the potential adverse impact of the Debtors’ bankruptcy cases on the Debtors’ liquidity or results of operations; the Debtors’ ability to fund and execute its business plan; the Debtors’ ability to attract, motivate and retain key executives and employees; the Debtors’ ability to enter into hedging contracts; general market conditions; adverse capital and credit market conditions; the costs and accidental risks inherent in exploring and developing new oil and natural gas reserves; the price for which such reserves and production can be sold; fluctuation in prices of oil and natural gas; the uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of proved reserves and cash flows; competition; actions by third party co-owners in properties in which the Debtors also own an interest; acquisitions of properties and businesses; operating hazards; environmental concerns affecting the drilling of oil and natural gas wells; impairment of oil and natural gas properties due to depletion, low oil and gas prices, or other causes; and hedging decisions, including whether or not to hedge. Similarly, these and other factors, including the terms of any reorganization plan ultimately confirmed, can affect the value of the Debtors’ various pre-petition liabilities and the Debtors’ common stock. No assurance can be given as to what values, if any, will be ascribed in the chapter 11 cases to each of these constituencies. No assurance can be given that there will be any remaining value for shareholders if and when the Debtors emerge from bankruptcy.  Accordingly, the Debtors urge that the appropriate caution be exercised with respect to existing and future investments in any of these liabilities and/or securities.

AURORA OIL & GAS CORPORATION (THE “COMPANY”)
EXPLANATORY NOTES TO THE MONTHLY OPERATING REPORT
DATED AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2009

1.
This Monthly Operating Report (“MOR”) has been signed by the Company’s Chief Restructuring Officer, Sanford R. Edlein.  The MOR was prepared by the Company’s staff with management oversight.  Mr. Edlein does not have personal knowledge of every item identified in the MOR and has relied upon the work of Company management.  In reviewing and signing the MOR, Mr. Edlein has relied upon the accuracy and integrity of the Company’s books and records, and it is possible that further review thereof may require amendment of the MOR.

2.
This MOR is preliminary and unaudited and reflects results for the twelve days ended July 12, 2009 (pre-petition), nineteen days ended July 31, 2009 (post-petition), one month ended July 31, 2009, August 31, 2009 and September 30, 2009, and one and ten months ended October 31, 2009 and balances as of July 12, 2009 (filing date), July 31, 2009, August 31, 2009, September 30, 2009 and October 31, 2009.  This MOR should be read together and concurrently with the Company’s first quarter 2009 Form 10-Q that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on May 8, 2009 and the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2008 filed with the SEC on March 13, 2009 for a comprehensive description of our current financial condition and operating results. This MOR should also be read together and concurrently with Forms 8-K filed with the SEC during 2009.  This MOR is being provided to the Bankruptcy Court and the U.S. Trustee.

3.
This MOR is unaudited and will not be subject to audit or review by our external auditors on a stand-alone basis at any time in the future.  This MOR includes the results of the ceiling test write-down during first quarter 2009, the reclassification of mortgage payable to current as a result of a default that occurred due to the Company’s chapter 11 bankruptcy filing and an increase to the ARO liability during September 2009 in the approximate amount of $3.1 million as a result of changes in estimate due to timing and anticipated abandonment costs.  Results for this period as presented in the MOR are not necessarily indicative of the actual results for the period if all such matters were allocated to all periods in the quarter or year.  Accordingly, each period reported in the MOR should not be viewed on a stand-alone basis, but rather in the context of previously reported financial results, including the Company’s SEC filings.

4.
This MOR is presented in a format providing information required under local rules and incorporating measurements used for internal operating purposes, rather than in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. This MOR does not include certain financial statements and explanatory footnotes, including disclosures required under GAAP.

 
 

 

5.
This MOR is presented on a stand alone basis for the Company and does not include any subsidiary activity.  Therefore, intercompany balances have not been eliminated.

The Company’s subsidiaries are as follows:
 
Aurora Operating, LLC ("AOP") is a limited liability company engaged primarily in oil and gas development.  AOP holds certain developed oil and gas properties in the New Albany Shale project.  The Company owns 71% of AOP.
 
Indiana Royalty Trustory, LLC ("IRT") is a limited liability company engaged primarily in investments in royalties and other financial instruments.  The Company holds a 51% interest in IRT.
 
Hudson Pipeline & Processing Co., LLC ("HPPC") is a limited liability company that owns and operates various pipelines and processing facilities located in Hudson Township area of the Michigan Antrim play.  The Company holds a 96.1% interest in HPPC.
 
Celebration Mining ("CMC") is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company that owns a 25% interest in a silver mine located in Utah.  No production has occurred from the mine since the 1930’s.  Activity in CMC primarily relates to general and administrative expenses associated with the marketability of the company for sale and compliance with various federal and state requirements.
 
Bach Services & Manufacturing Co., LLC ("BSM") was sold on June 10, 2009.  BSM was a limited liability company which provided oil and gas field services and construction services related to building pipelines, compressor packages, and processing facilities to various oil and gas companies principally in the Michigan Antrim play.  The Company owned 100% of BSM.

This Monthly Operating Report (“MOR”) has been signed by the Company’s Chief Restructuring Officer, Sanford R. Edlein.  The MOR was prepared by Aurora Oil & Gas Corporation’s (the “Company”) staff with management oversight on behalf of HPPC.  Mr. Edlein does not have personal knowledge of every item identified in the MOR and has relied upon the work of Company management.  In reviewing and signing the MOR, Mr. Edlein has relied upon the accuracy and integrity of the Company’s books and records, and it is possible that further review thereof may require amendment of the MOR.

2.
This MOR is preliminary and unaudited and reflects results for the twelve days ended July 12, 2009 (pre-petition), nineteen days ended July 31, 2009 (post-petition), one month ended July 31, 2009, August 31, 2009 and September 30, 2009, one and ten months ended October 31, 2009 and balances as of July 12, 2009 (filing date), July 31, 2009, August 31, 2009, September 30, 2009 and October 31, 2009.  This MOR should be read together and concurrently with the Company’s first quarter 2009 Form 10-Q that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on May 8, 2009 and the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2008 filed with the SEC on March 13, 2009 for a comprehensive description of our current financial condition and operating results. This MOR should also be read together and concurrently with Forms 8-K filed with the SEC during 2009.  This MOR is being provided to the Bankruptcy Court and the U.S. Trustee.

3.
This MOR is unaudited and will not be subject to audit or review by our external auditors on a stand-alone basis at any time in the future.  Results for this period as presented in the MOR are not necessarily indicative of the actual results for the period if all such matters were allocated to all periods in the quarter or year.  Accordingly, each period reported in the MOR should not be viewed on a stand-alone basis, but rather in the context of previously reported financial results, including the Company’s SEC filings.

4.
This MOR is presented in a format providing information required under local rules and incorporating measurements used for internal operating purposes, rather than in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. This MOR does not include certain financial statements and explanatory footnotes, including disclosures required under GAAP.

5.
This MOR is presented on a stand alone basis for HPPC and does not include any eliminating entries.  HPPC is a limited liability company that owns and operates various pipelines and processing facilities located in Hudson Township area of the Michigan Antrim play.  The Company holds a 96.1% interest in HPPC.
