SUMMARY

This summary highlights information contained elsewhere in this prospectus but might not contain all of the information that is important to you. Before investing in our common stock, you should read the entire prospectus carefully, including the “Risk Factors” section and our financial statements and the note thereto included elsewhere in this prospectus.

For purposes of this prospectus, unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, all references herein to “Foothills,” “we,” “us,” “our,” and “the Company” refer to Foothills Resources Inc., a Nevada corporation, and our subsidiaries.

Our Company

Foothills Resources, Inc. is a growth-oriented independent energy company engaged in the acquisition, exploration, exploitation and development of oil and natural gas properties. The Company currently holds interests in properties in the Eel River Basin, in northern California, the Goose Creek Field and Goose Creek East Field, both in Harris County, Texas, the Cleveland Field, located in Liberty County, Texas, and the Saratoga Field located in Hardin County, Texas, and is planning to acquire interests in the Anadarko Basin in southwest Oklahoma.

Our business strategy is to identify and exploit low to moderate risk resources in and adjacent to existing or indicated producing areas that can be quickly developed and put on production at low cost, including the acquisition of producing properties with exploitation and exploration potential. We also intend to take advantage of our expertise to develop exploratory projects in focus areas and to participate with other companies in those areas to explore for oil and natural gas using state-of-the-art 3D seismic technology. Our management intends to use its extensive domestic and international oil and gas experience to establish and grow the Company.

Foothills Resources, Inc. took its present form on April 6, 2006, when our wholly-owned subsidiary, Brasada Acquisition Corp. and Brasada California, Inc. executed a Merger Agreement and Plan of Reorganization. On April 6, 2006, Brasada Acquisition Corp. merged with and into Brasada California, Inc., with Brasada remaining as the surviving corporation and our wholly-owned subsidiary. The holders of Brasada’s issued and outstanding capital stock before the merger surrendered all of their issued and outstanding capital stock of Brasada and received 17,375,000 shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share. Our stockholders before the merger retained 12,625,006 shares of common stock.

Contemporaneously with the closing of the Merger, we split-off another wholly-owned subsidiary, Foothills Leaseco, Inc., a Nevada corporation, through the sale of all of the outstanding capital stock of Foothills Leaseco, Inc. As a consequence of the sale of Foothills Leaseco, Inc., we discontinued all of our business operations which we conducted prior to the closing of the merger with Brasada, and spun off all material liabilities existing prior to that date, in any way related to our pre-closing business operations. As a result of these transactions, our business and operations changed from a pre-exploration stage company prior to the merger and split-off to a company engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of oil and natural gas properties following the merger.
 
Our primary operations are now those formerly operated by Brasada California, Inc., as well as other business activities which we have developed since April, 2006, as described in this Prospectus.

Recent Developments

On September 8, 2006, we consummated an acquisition of certain properties formerly owned by TARH E&P Holdings, L.P. in Texas, pursuant to two purchase and sale agreements executed with TARH E&P Holdings, L.P. on June 21, 2006. In this acquisition, our wholly-owned subsidiary, Foothills Texas, Inc., acquired four producing properties in southeastern Texas, including the Goose Creek, Goose Creek East, Saratoga and Cleveland Fields. The purchase and sale agreements provided for the payment of aggregate cash consideration to TARH E&P Holdings, L.P. of $57.5 million and the issuance of $4.5 million of our common stock. Prior to the closing date, on June 22, 2006, August 14, 2006 and August 23, 2006, we made cash payments to TARH E&P Holdings, L.P. of $3,099,000, $1,549,500 and $774,750 in accordance with the agreements. After adjustment for preliminary purchase price adjustments as provided in the purchase and sale agreements, we paid cash consideration to TARH E&P Holdings, L.P. on September 8, 2006 of $51,894,500 and issued 1,605,345 shares of our common stock.

To finance the above acquisition, we executed a Credit and Guaranty Agreement with J. Aron & Company on September 8, 2006, providing for a credit facility under which we borrowed $42.5 million. The credit facility will terminate and all amounts borrowed under the facility will be due and payable four years following the closing date. The facility is secured by liens and security interests on substantially all of our assets and those of our subsidiaries, including 100% of the value of all oil and gas reserves of us and our subsidiaries. On the closing date of the facility, we issued to Goldman, Sachs & Co., an affiliate of J. Aron & Company, a warrant to purchase 3,000,000 shares of common stock for five years at an exercise price of $2.75 per share.

Further, in order to raise additional funds to consummate the acquisition from TARH E&P Holdings, L.P., we completed a private offering of units consisting of shares of our common stock and warrants to acquire our common stock on September 8, 2006. Each unit we sold in the offering consisted of one share of common stock and a warrant to acquire one-half share of common stock for five years at an exercise price of $2.75 per share. On the closing date of the offering, we received $22,500,000 in proceeds from the offering, through the sale of 10,000,000 units. Therefore, we issued to investors, on the closing date, 10,000,000 shares of our common stock and warrants to acquire 5,000,000 shares of our common stock.

On August 30, 2006, we announced that the Christiansen 3-15 well had flowed at a rate in excess of 1.9 million cubic feet of gas per day on a 16/64 inch choke. The drilling and electric log evaluation on the well indicates multiple gas zones between 3,600 feet and 3,900 feet.

In September, 2006, we commenced commercial production from the Christiansen 3-15 well in the Grizzly Bluff Field in the Eel River Basin, in Humboldt County, California. On September 19, 2006, we announced that production is expected to ramp up in stages to a target rate of about 1 million cubic feet of natural gas per day.

On September 19, 2006, we also announced the Vicenus 1-3 well in the Grizzly Bluff Field is expected to be placed on production within the next two weeks following installation of production equipment that has been ordered. This well was drilled to a total depth of 5,747 feet and has encountered natural gas in multiple zones between 4,300 and 5,700 feet. We expect to acquire a 3D seismic survey over the Grizzly Bluff Field during the fourth quarter of 2006, which should assist the Company in identifying specific locations for future wells and is also expected to allow for the direct detection of natural gas, especially in shallower formations.

On April 6, 2006 and on April 20, 2006, we closed a prior private offering of an aggregate of 17,142,857 units, each consisting of one share of our common stock and a warrant to acquire three-quarters of a share

of our common stock for five years at a purchase price of $1.00 per whole share. The total consideration we received in this offering was $12,000,000. Some of the consideration for units sold in this April, 2006 offering was in the form of convertible debentures, which converted into units on a dollar-for-dollar basis upon the closing of the offering and the closing of the merger between our wholly-owned subsidiary, Brasada Acquisition Co. and Brasada California, Inc.

RISK FACTORS
 
An investment in us involves a high degree of risk. Investors should carefully consider the risks below before making an investment decision. Our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected by any of these risks. In such case, the trading price of our common stock could decline and investors could lose all or part of their investment.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS

We are a development stage company with limited operating history for you to evaluate our business. We may never attain profitability.

We are a development stage company engaged in the business of oil and gas exploration and development, and have limited current oil or natural gas operations. The business of acquiring, exploring for, developing and producing oil and natural gas reserves is inherently risky. As an oil and gas acquisition, exploration and development company with limited operating history, it is difficult for potential investors to evaluate our business. Our proposed operations are therefore subject to all of the risks inherent in light of the expenses, difficulties, complications and delays frequently encountered in connection with the formation of any new business, as well as those risks that are specific to the oil and gas industry. Investors should evaluate us in light of the delays, expenses, problems and uncertainties frequently encountered by companies developing markets for new products, services and technologies. We may never overcome these obstacles.

Our business is speculative and dependent upon the implementation of our business plan and our ability to enter into agreements with third parties for the rights to exploit potential oil and natural gas reserves on terms that will be commercially viable for us.

Our lack of diversification will increase the risk of an investment in Foothills, and our financial condition and results of operations may deteriorate if we fail to diversify.

Our business focus is on the oil and gas industry in a limited number of properties, initially in California, Oklahoma and Texas, with the intention of expanding elsewhere. Larger companies have the ability to manage their risk by diversification. However, we will lack diversification, in terms of both the nature and geographic scope of our business. As a result, we will likely be impacted more acutely by factors affecting our industry or the regions in which we operate than we would if our business were more diversified, enhancing our risk profile. If we cannot diversify our operations, our financial condition and results of operations could deteriorate.

Strategic relationships upon which we may rely are subject to change, which may diminish our ability to conduct our operations.
 
Our ability to successfully acquire additional properties, to discover reserves, to participate in drilling opportunities and to identify and enter into commercial arrangements with customers will depend on developing and maintaining close working relationships with industry participants and on our ability to select and evaluate suitable properties and to consummate transactions in a highly competitive environment. These realities are subject to change and may impair our ability to grow.
 
To develop our business, we will endeavor to use the business relationships of our management to enter into strategic relationships, which may take the form of joint ventures with other private parties and contractual arrangements with other oil and gas companies, including those that supply equipment and other resources that we will use in our business. We may not be able to establish these strategic

relationships, or if established, we may not be able to maintain them. In addition, the dynamics of our relationships with strategic partners may require us to incur expenses or undertake activities we would not otherwise be inclined to in order to fulfill our obligations to these partners or maintain our relationships. If our strategic relationships are not established or maintained, our business prospects may be limited, which could diminish our ability to conduct our operations.
 
Competition in obtaining rights to explore and develop oil and gas reserves and to market our production may impair our business.
 
The oil and gas industry is highly competitive. Other oil and gas companies may seek to acquire oil and gas leases and other properties and services we will need to operate our business in the areas in which we expect to operate. This competition is increasingly intense as prices of oil and natural gas on the commodities markets have risen in recent years. Additionally, other companies engaged in our line of business may compete with us from time to time in obtaining capital from investors. Competitors include larger companies, which, in particular, may have access to greater resources, may be more successful in the recruitment and retention of qualified employees and may conduct their own refining and petroleum marketing operations, which may give them a competitive advantage. In addition, actual or potential competitors may be strengthened through the acquisition of additional assets and interests. If we are unable to compete effectively or adequately respond to competitive pressures, this inability may materially adversely affect our results of operation and financial condition.
 
We may be unable to obtain additional capital that we will require to implement our business plan, which could restrict our ability to grow.
 
We expect that our current capital and our other existing resources will be sufficient only to provide a limited amount of working capital, and the revenues generated from our properties in Texas, California and Oklahoma alone will not be sufficient to fund both our continuing operations and our planned growth. We will require additional capital to continue to operate our business beyond the initial phase of our current properties, and to further expand our exploration and development programs to additional properties. We may be unable to obtain additional capital required.
 
Future acquisitions and future exploration, development, production and marketing activities, as well as our administrative requirements (such as salaries, insurance expenses and general overhead expenses, as well as legal compliance costs and accounting expenses) will require a substantial amount of additional capital and cash flow.
 
We may pursue sources of additional capital through various financing transactions or arrangements, including joint venturing of projects, debt financing, equity financing or other means. We may not be successful in locating suitable financing transactions in the time period required or at all, and we may not obtain the capital we require by other means. If we do not succeed in raising additional capital, our resources may not be sufficient to fund our operations going forward.
 
Any additional capital raised through the sale of equity may dilute the ownership percentage of our stockholders. This could also result in a decrease in the fair market value of our equity securities because our assets would be owned by a larger pool of outstanding equity. The terms of securities we issue in future capital transactions may be more favorable to our new investors, and may include preferences, superior voting rights and the issuance of warrants or other derivative securities, and issuances of incentive awards under equity employee incentive plans, which may have a further dilutive effect.
 
Our ability to obtain needed financing may be impaired by such factors as the capital markets (both generally and in the oil and gas industry in particular), our status as a new enterprise without a significant

demonstrated operating history, the location of our oil and natural gas properties and prices of oil and natural gas on the commodities markets (which will impact the amount of asset-based financing available to us) and/or the loss of key management. Further, if oil and/or natural gas prices on the commodities markets decline, our revenues will likely decrease and such decreased revenues may increase our requirements for capital. If the amount of capital we are able to raise from financing activities, together with our revenues from operations, is not sufficient to satisfy our capital needs (even to the extent that we reduce our operations), we may be required to cease our operations.
 
We may incur substantial costs in pursuing future capital financing, including investment banking fees, legal fees, accounting fees, securities law compliance fees, printing and distribution expenses and other costs. We may also be required to recognize non-cash expenses in connection with certain securities we may issue, such as convertible notes and warrants, which may adversely impact our financial condition.

We may not be able to effectively manage our growth, which may harm our profitability.

Our strategy envisions expanding our business. If we fail to effectively manage our growth, our financial results could be adversely affected. Growth may place a strain on our management systems and resources. We must continue to refine and expand our business development capabilities, our systems and processes and our access to financing sources. As we grow, we must continue to hire, train, supervise and manage new employees. We cannot assure you that we will be able to:

 
·
meet our capital needs;

 
·
expand our systems effectively or efficiently or in a timely manner;

 
·
allocate our human resources optimally;

 
·
identify and hire qualified employees or retain valued employees; or

 
·
incorporate effectively the components of any business that we may acquire in our effort to achieve growth.
 
If we are unable to manage our growth, our operations and our financial results could be adversely affected by inefficiency, which could diminish our profitability.

Our business may suffer if we do not attract and retain talented personnel.
 
Our success will depend in large measure on the abilities, expertise, judgment, discretion, integrity and good faith of our management and other personnel in conducting the business of the Company. We have a small management team, and the loss of a key individual or inability to attract suitably qualified staff could materially adversely impact our business.
 
Our success depends on the ability of our management and employees to interpret market and geological data correctly and to interpret and respond to economic market and other conditions in order to locate and adopt appropriate investment opportunities, monitor such investments, and ultimately, if required, to successfully divest such investments. Further, no assurance can be given that our key personnel will continue their association or employment with us or that replacement personnel with comparable skills can be found. We have sought to and will continue to ensure that management and any key employees are appropriately compensated; however, their services cannot be guaranteed. If we are unable to attract and retain key personnel, our business may be adversely affected.

Our management team does not have extensive experience in public company matters, which could impair our ability to comply with legal and regulatory requirements.
 
Our management team has had limited U.S. public company management experience or responsibilities, which could impair our ability to comply with legal and regulatory requirements such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and applicable federal securities laws including filing required reports and other information required on a timely basis. There can be no assurance that our management will be able to implement and effect programs and policies in an effective and timely manner that adequately respond to increased legal, regulatory compliance and reporting requirements imposed by such laws and regulations. Our failure to comply with such laws and regulations could lead to the imposition of fines and penalties and further result in the deterioration of our business.

Risks related to our prior business may adversely affect our business.

Our business prior to the merger between our wholly-owned acquisition subsidiary and Foothills California, Inc. (formerly Brasada California, Inc.) in April, 2006 involved mineral exploration. In 2001, we acquired a mining lease on a total of five unpatented lode mineral claims property located in the State of Nevada. Subsequent to our fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, we decided to abandon the property and terminate the claims and have since been in the process of reviewing other potential resource and non-resource assets for acquisition. We determined not to pursue the mineral exploration line of business following the April, 2006 merger, but could still be subject to claims arising from our former. These claims may arise from our operating activities (such as employee and labor matters), financing and credit arrangements or other commercial transactions. While no claims are pending and we have no actual knowledge of any threatened claims, it is possible that third parties may seek to make claims against us based on our former business operations. Even if any such asserted claims were without merit and we were ultimately found to have no liability for such claims, the defense costs and the distraction of management’s attention may harm the growth and profitability of our business. While the relevant definitive agreements executed in connection with the merger provided indemnities to us for liabilities arising from our prior business activities, these indemnities may not be sufficient to fully protect us from all costs and expenses.

Our hedging activities could result in financial losses or could reduce our net income, which may adversely affect your investment in our common stock.

In connection with our credit facility with J. Aron & Company, we are contractually obligated to hedge no less than 80% of all our oil and gas production. To comply with the requirements of our credit facility, and in order to manage our exposure to price risks in the marketing of our oil and natural gas production, we have entered into oil and natural gas price hedging arrangements with respect to a portion of our expected production. We may enter into additional hedging transactions in the future.

While intended to reduce the effects of volatile oil and natural gas prices, such transactions may limit our potential gains and increase our potential losses if oil and natural gas prices were to rise substantially over the price established by the hedge. In addition, such transactions may expose us to the risk of loss in certain circumstances, including instances in which:

 
·
our production is less than expected;

-8-


 
·
there is a widening of price differentials between delivery points for our production and the delivery point assumed in the hedge arrangement; or
 
·
the counterparties to our hedging agreements fail to perform under the contracts.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR INDUSTRY
 
Our exploration for oil and gas is risky and may not be commercially successful, and the 3D seismic data and other advanced technologies we use cannot eliminate exploration risk, which could impair our ability to generate revenues from our operations.
 
Our future success will depend on the success of our exploratory drilling program. Oil and gas exploration involves a high degree of risk. These risks are more acute in the early stages of exploration. Our expenditures on exploration may not result in new discoveries of oil or natural gas in commercially viable quantities. It is difficult to project the costs of implementing an exploratory drilling program due to the inherent uncertainties of drilling in unknown formations, the costs associated with encountering various drilling conditions, such as over-pressured zones and tools lost in the hole, and changes in drilling plans and locations as a result of prior exploratory wells or additional seismic data and interpretations thereof.
 
Even when used and properly interpreted, 3D seismic data and visualization techniques only assist geoscientists in identifying subsurface structures and hydrocarbon indicators. They do not allow the interpreter to know conclusively if hydrocarbons are present or economically producible. In addition, the use of 3D seismic data becomes less reliable when used at increasing depths. We could incur losses as a result of expenditures on unsuccessful wells. If exploration costs exceed our estimates, or if our exploration efforts do not produce results which meet our expectations, our exploration efforts may not be commercially successful, which could adversely impact our ability to generate revenues from our operations.
 
We may not be able to develop oil and gas reserves on an economically viable basis, and our reserves and production may decline as a result.
 
If we succeed in discovering oil and/or natural gas reserves, we cannot assure that these reserves will be capable of production levels we project or in sufficient quantities to be commercially viable. On a long-term basis, our viability depends on our ability to find or acquire, develop and commercially produce additional oil and natural gas reserves. Without the addition of reserves through acquisition, exploration or development activities, our reserves and production will decline over time as reserves are produced. Our future reserves will depend not only on our ability to develop then-existing properties, but also on our ability to identify and acquire additional suitable producing properties or prospects, to find markets for the oil and natural gas we develop and to effectively distribute our production into our markets.
 
Future oil and gas exploration may involve unprofitable efforts, not only from dry wells, but from wells that are productive but do not produce sufficient net revenues to return a profit after drilling, operating and other costs. Completion of a well does not assure a profit on the investment or recovery of drilling, completion and operating costs. In addition, drilling hazards or environmental damage could greatly increase the cost of operations, and various field operating conditions may adversely affect the production from successful wells. These conditions include delays in obtaining governmental approvals or consents, shut-downs of connected wells resulting from extreme weather conditions, problems in storage and distribution and adverse geological and mechanical conditions. While we will endeavor to effectively manage these conditions, we cannot be assured of doing so optimally, and we will not be able to eliminate them completely in any case. Therefore, these conditions could diminish our revenue and cash flow levels and result in the impairment of our oil and natural gas interests.

Estimates of oil and natural gas reserves that we make may be inaccurate and our actual revenues may be lower than our financial projections.
 
We will make estimates of oil and natural gas reserves, upon which we will base our financial projections. We will make these reserve estimates using various assumptions, including assumptions as to oil and natural gas prices, drilling and operating expenses, capital expenditures, taxes and availability of funds. Some of these assumptions are inherently subjective, and the accuracy of our reserve estimates relies in part on the ability of our management team, engineers and other advisors to make accurate assumptions. Economic factors beyond our control, such as interest rates, will also impact the value of our reserves. The process of estimating oil and natural gas reserves is complex, and will require us to use significant decisions and assumptions in the evaluation of available geological, geophysical, engineering and economic data for each property. As a result, our reserve estimates will be inherently imprecise. Actual future production, oil and natural gas prices, revenues, taxes, development expenditures, operating expenses and quantities of recoverable oil and natural gas reserves may vary substantially from those we estimate. If actual production results vary substantially from our reserve estimates, this could materially reduce our revenues and result in the impairment of our oil and natural gas interests.
 
Drilling new wells could result in new liabilities, which could endanger our interests in our properties and assets.
 
There are risks associated with the drilling of oil and natural gas wells, including encountering unexpected formations or pressures, premature declines of reservoirs, blow-outs, craterings, sour gas releases, fires and spills, among others. The occurrence of any of these events could significantly reduce our revenues or cause substantial losses, impairing our future operating results. We may become subject to liability for pollution, blow-outs or other hazards. We intend to obtain insurance with respect to these hazards; however, such insurance has limitations on liability that may not be sufficient to cover the full extent of such liabilities. The payment of such liabilities could reduce the funds available to us or could, in an extreme case, result in a total loss of our properties and assets. Moreover, we may not be able to maintain adequate insurance in the future at rates that are considered reasonable. Oil and natural gas production operations are also subject to all the risks typically associated with such operations, including premature decline of reservoirs and the invasion of water into producing formations.
 
Decommissioning costs are unknown and may be substantial. Unplanned costs could divert resources from other projects.
 
We may become responsible for costs associated with abandoning and reclaiming wells, facilities and pipelines which we use for production of oil and natural gas reserves. Abandonment and reclamation of these facilities and the costs associated therewith is often referred to as “decommissioning.” We have not yet determined whether we will establish a cash reserve account for these potential costs in respect of any of our properties or facilities, or if we will satisfy such costs of decommissioning from the proceeds of production in accordance with the practice generally employed in onshore and offshore oilfield operations. If decommissioning is required before economic depletion of our properties or if our estimates of the costs of decommissioning exceed the value of the reserves remaining at any particular time to cover such decommissioning costs, we may have to draw on funds from other sources to satisfy such costs. The use of other funds to satisfy such decommissioning costs could impair our ability to focus capital investment in other areas of our business.
 
Our inability to obtain necessary facilities could hamper our operations.
 
Oil and gas exploration and development activities are dependent on the availability of drilling and related equipment, transportation, power and technical support in the particular areas where these

activities will be conducted, and our access to these facilities may be limited. To the extent that we conduct our activities in remote areas, needed facilities may not be proximate to our operations, which will increase our expenses. Demand for such limited equipment and other facilities or access restrictions may affect the availability of such equipment to us and may delay exploration and development activities. The quality and reliability of necessary facilities may also be unpredictable and we may be required to make efforts to standardize our facilities, which may entail unanticipated costs and delays. Shortages and/or the unavailability of necessary equipment or other facilities will impair our activities, either by delaying our activities, increasing our costs or otherwise.
 
We may have difficulty distributing our production, which could harm our financial condition.
 
In order to sell the oil and natural gas that we are able to produce, we will have to make arrangements for storage and distribution to the market. We will rely on local infrastructure and the availability of transportation for storage and shipment of our products, but infrastructure development and storage and transportation facilities may be insufficient for our needs at commercially acceptable terms in the localities in which we operate. This could be particularly problematic to the extent that our operations are conducted in remote areas that are difficult to access, such as areas that are distant from shipping and/or pipeline facilities. These factors may affect our ability to explore and develop properties and to store and transport our oil and natural gas production and may increase our expenses. In the Eel River Basin in California, we have contractual rights to access existing natural gas transportation facilities. Depending on the success of our planned drilling, it is possible that we will be required to construct additional pipeline facilities in the future in order to have sufficient capacity to transport all of our natural gas production.
 
Furthermore, weather conditions or natural disasters, actions by companies doing business in one or more of the areas in which we will operate, or labor disputes may impair the distribution of oil and/or natural gas and in turn diminish our financial condition or ability to maintain our operations.
 
Prices and markets for oil and natural gas are unpredictable and tend to fluctuate significantly, which could reduce profitability, growth and the value of our business.
 
Oil and natural gas are commodities whose prices are determined based on world demand, supply and other factors, all of which are beyond our control. World prices for oil and natural gas have fluctuated widely in recent years, and have risen to record levels on a nominal basis in 2006. The average price for West Texas Intermediate oil in 1999 was $22 per barrel. In 2002 it was $27 per barrel. In 2005, it was $57 per barrel. During 2006, through September 29, 2006, the daily spot price of West Texas Intermediate oil, as reported by the Wall Street Journal, peaked at $77.03, and as of September 29, 2006 was reported as $62.92. We expect that prices will fluctuate in the future. Price fluctuations will have a significant impact upon our revenue, the return from our reserves and on our financial condition generally. Price fluctuations for oil and natural gas commodities may also impact the investment market for companies engaged in the oil and gas industry. Prices may not remain at current levels. Future decreases in the prices of oil and natural gas may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, the future results of our operations and quantities of reserves recoverable on an economic basis.
 
Increases in our operating expenses will impact our operating results and financial condition.
 
Exploration, development, production, marketing (including distribution costs) and regulatory compliance costs (including taxes) will substantially impact the net revenues we derive from the oil and natural gas that we produce. These costs are subject to fluctuations and variation in different locales in which we will operate, and we may not be able to predict or control these costs. If these costs exceed our expectations,

this may adversely affect our results of operations. In addition, we may not be able to earn net revenue at our predicted levels, which may impact our ability to satisfy our obligations.
 
Penalties we may incur could impair our business.

Failure to comply with government regulations could subject us to civil and criminal penalties, could require us to forfeit property rights, and may affect the value of our assets. We may also be required to take corrective actions, such as installing additional equipment or taking other actions, each of which could require us to make substantial capital expenditures. We could also be required to indemnify our employees in connection with any expenses or liabilities that they may incur individually in connection with regulatory action against them. As a result, our future business prospects could deteriorate due to regulatory constraints, and our profitability could be impaired by our obligation to provide such indemnification to our employees.

Environmental risks may adversely affect our business.
 
All phases of the oil and gas business present environmental risks and hazards and are subject to environmental regulation pursuant to a variety of federal, state and municipal laws and regulations. Environmental legislation provides for, among other things, restrictions and prohibitions on spills, releases or emissions of various substances produced in association with oil and gas operations. The legislation also requires that wells and facility sites be operated, maintained, abandoned and reclaimed to the satisfaction of applicable regulatory authorities. Compliance with such legislation can require significant expenditures and a breach may result in the imposition of fines and penalties, some of which may be material. Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner we expect may result in stricter standards and enforcement, larger fines and liability and potentially increased capital expenditures and operating costs. The discharge of oil, natural gas or other pollutants into the air, soil or water may give rise to liabilities to governments and third parties and may require us to incur costs to remedy such discharge. The application of environmental laws to our business may cause us to curtail our production or increase the costs of our production, development or exploration activities.
 
Our insurance may be inadequate to cover liabilities we may incur.
 
Our involvement in the exploration for and development of oil and gas properties may result in our becoming subject to liability for pollution, blow-outs, property damage, personal injury or other hazards. Although we expect to obtain insurance in accordance with industry standards to address such risks, such insurance has limitations on liability that may not be sufficient to cover the full extent of such liabilities. In addition, such risks may not, in all circumstances, be insurable or, in certain circumstances, we may choose not to obtain insurance to protect against specific risks due to the high premiums associated with such insurance or for other reasons. The payment of such uninsured liabilities would reduce the funds available to us. If we suffer a significant event or occurrence that is not fully insured, or if the insurer of such event is not solvent, we could be required to divert funds from capital investment or other uses towards covering our liability for such events.
 
Our business will suffer if we cannot obtain or maintain necessary licenses.
 
Our operations will require licenses, permits and in some cases renewals of licenses and permits from various governmental authorities. Our ability to obtain, sustain or renew such licenses and permits on acceptable terms is subject to change in regulations and policies and to the discretion of the applicable governments, among other factors. Our inability to obtain, or our loss of or denial of extension, to any of these licenses or permits could hamper our ability to produce revenues from our operations.

Challenges to our properties may impact our financial condition.
 
Title to oil and gas interests is often not capable of conclusive determination without incurring substantial expense. While we intend to make appropriate inquiries into the title of properties and other development rights we acquire, title defects may exist. In addition, we may be unable to obtain adequate insurance for title defects, on a commercially reasonable basis or at all. If title defects do exist, it is possible that we may lose all or a portion of our right, title and interests in and to the properties to which the title defects relate.
 
If our property rights are reduced, our ability to conduct our exploration, development and production activities may be impaired.
 
We will rely on technology to conduct our business and our technology could become ineffective or obsolete.

We rely on technology, including geographic and seismic analysis techniques and economic models, to develop our reserve estimates and to guide our exploration, development and production activities. We will be required to continually enhance and update our technology to maintain its efficacy and to avoid obsolescence. The costs of doing so may be substantial, and may be higher than the costs that we anticipate for technology maintenance and development. If we are unable to maintain the efficacy of our technology, our ability to manage our business and to compete may be impaired. Further, even if we are able to maintain technical effectiveness, our technology may not be the most efficient means of reaching our objectives, in which case we may incur higher operating costs than we would were our technology more efficient.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMMON STOCK

There has been a limited trading market for our common stock and no market for our warrants.

There has been a limited trading market for our common stock on the NASD’s Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board and no established market for the warrants. The lack of an active market may impair the ability of our investors to sell their shares of common stock or their warrants at the time they wish to sell them or at a price that they consider reasonable. The lack of an active market may also reduce the fair market value of the shares of common stock and warrants to be sold under this prospectus. An inactive market may also impair our ability to raise capital by selling shares of capital stock and may impair our ability to acquire other companies or technologies by using our common stock as consideration.
 
You may have difficulty trading and obtaining quotations for our common stock or warrants.

Our common stock is currently quoted on the NASD’s Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board under the symbol “FTRS.OB.” Our warrants do not currently trade on any exchange or market. Our common stock has been actively traded for only a limited time, and the bid and ask prices for our common stock have fluctuated widely. As a result, investors may find it difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations of the price of, our common stock and our warrants. This severely limits the liquidity of our common stock and our warrants, and would likely reduce the market price of our common stock and warrants, and hamper our ability to raise additional capital.

The market price of our common stock is, and is likely to continue to be, highly volatile and subject to wide fluctuations.

The market price of our common stock is likely to continue to be highly volatile and could be subject to

wide fluctuations in response to a number of factors that are beyond our control, including:

 
·
dilution caused by our issuance of additional shares of common stock and other forms of equity securities, which we expect to make in connection with future capital financings to fund our operations and growth, to attract and retain valuable personnel and in connection with future strategic partnerships with other companies;

 
·
announcements of new acquisitions, reserve discoveries or other business initiatives by our competitors;

 
·
our ability to take advantage of new acquisitions (such as our acquisition of certain properties of TARH E&P Holdings, L.P., reserve discoveries or other business initiatives;

 
·
fluctuations in revenue from our oil and gas business as new reserves come to market;

 
·
changes in the market for oil and natural gas commodities and/or in the capital markets generally;

 
·
changes in the demand for oil and natural gas, including changes resulting from the introduction or expansion of alternative fuels;

 
·
quarterly variations in our revenues and operating expenses;

 
·
changes in the valuation of similarly situated companies, both in our industry and in other industries;

 
·
changes in analysts’ estimates affecting our company, our competitors and/or our industry;

 
·
changes in the accounting methods used in or otherwise affecting our industry;

 
·
additions and departures of key personnel;

 
·
announcements of technological innovations or new products available to the oil and gas industry;

 
·
announcements by relevant governments pertaining to incentives for alternative energy development programs;

 
·
fluctuations in interest rates and the availability of capital in the capital markets; and

 
·
significant sales of our common stock or warrants, including sales by the investors following registration of the shares under this prospectus.

These and other factors are largely beyond our control, and the impact of these risks, singly or in the aggregate, may result in material adverse changes to the market price of our common stock and our warrants, and/or our results of operations and financial condition.

Our operating results may fluctuate significantly, and these fluctuations may cause the price of our common stock and our warrants to decline.
 
Our operating results will likely vary in the future primarily as the result of fluctuations in our revenues

and operating expenses, including the coming to market of oil and natural gas reserves that we are able to develop, expenses that we incur, the prices of oil and natural gas in the commodities markets and other factors. If our results of operations do not meet the expectations of current or potential investors, the price of our common stock and our warrants may decline.
 
We do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.

We do not intend to declare dividends for the foreseeable future, as we anticipate that we will reinvest any future earnings in the development and growth of our business. Therefore, investors will not receive any funds unless they sell their common stock or warrants, and stockholders may be unable to sell their shares and warrants on favorable terms or at all. Investors cannot be assured of a positive return on investment or that they will not lose the entire amount of their investment in our common stock and warrants.

Stockholders will experience dilution upon the exercise of warrants and options.

As of October 6, 2006, there are 20,693,127 shares of common stock underlying warrants issued and outstanding, which if exercised or converted, could decrease the net tangible book value of our common stock. In addition, there are 2,000,000 shares of common stock underlying options that may be granted, of which options for 1,260,000 shares of common stock have already been granted, pursuant to the Company’s 2006 Equity Incentive Plan. If the holders of those options exercise those options, stockholders may experience dilution in the net tangible book value of our common stock. Further, the sale or availability for sale of the underlying shares in the marketplace could depress our stock price. We have registered or agreed to register for resale the above-described warrants all of the shares of common stock underlying such warrants. Holders of registered underlying shares could resell the shares immediately upon registration, resulting in significant downward pressure on our stock price.

Directors and officers of the Company will have a high concentration of common stock ownership.

Based on the 60,281,253 shares of common stock that are issued and outstanding as of October 6, 2006, our officers and directors beneficially own approximately 22.7% of our outstanding common stock. Such a high level of ownership by such persons may have a significant effect in delaying, deferring or preventing any potential change in control of Foothills. Additionally, as a result of their high level of ownership, our officers and directors might be able to strongly influence the actions of the Company’s board of directors and the outcome of actions brought to our stockholders for approval. Such a high level of ownership may adversely affect the voting and other rights of our stockholders.

Applicable SEC rules governing the trading of “penny stocks” limit the trading and liquidity of our common stock, which may affect the trading price of our common stock.

Shares of our common stock may be considered a “penny stock” and be subject to SEC rules and regulations which impose limitations upon the manner in which such shares may be publicly traded and regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in “penny stocks.” Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system). The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer must also provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny
 
stock held in the customer’s account. In addition, the penny stock rules generally require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock, the broker-dealer make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for a stock that becomes subject to the penny stock rules which may increase the difficulty investors may experience in attempting to liquidate an investment in our common stock or warrants.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

This prospectus covers warrants and shares of our common stock, including shares underlying warrants, sold in our recent private equity offerings, in April, 2006 and September, 2006, to “accredited investors” as defined by Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act pursuant to an exemption from registration provided in Regulation D, Rule 506 under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. The selling stockholders may from time to time offer and sell under this prospectus any or all of the warrants or shares of common stock listed opposite each of their names below. We are required, under a registration rights agreement, to register for resale the warrants and the shares of our common stock described in the tables below.
 
Common Stock
 
The following table sets forth information about the number of shares of our common stock beneficially owned by each selling stockholder that may be offered from time to time under this prospectus. Certain selling stockholders may be deemed to be “underwriters” as defined in the Securities Act. Any profits realized by such selling stockholders may be deemed to be underwriting commissions.
 
The table below has been prepared based upon the information furnished to us by the selling stockholders as of October 6, 2006. The selling stockholders identified below may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of some or all of their shares since the date on which the information in the following table is presented in transactions exempt from or not subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Information concerning the selling stockholders may change from time to time and, if necessary, we will amend or supplement this prospectus accordingly. We cannot provide an exact amount, but have provided an estimate, of the number of shares of common stock that will be held by the selling stockholders upon termination of this offering because the selling stockholders may offer some or all of their common stock under the offering contemplated by this prospectus. The total number of shares that may be sold hereunder will not exceed the number of shares offered hereby. Please read the section entitled “Plan of Distribution” in this prospectus.
 
We have been advised, as noted below in the footnotes to the table, 18 of the selling stockholders are broker-dealers and 8 of the selling stockholders are affiliates of broker-dealers. We have been advised that each of such selling stockholders purchased our common stock and warrants in the ordinary course of business, not for resale, and that none of such selling stockholders had, at the time of purchase, any agreements or understandings, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the related common stock.
 
The following table sets forth the name of each selling stockholder, the nature of any position, office, or other material relationship, if any, which the selling stockholder has had, within the past three years, with us or with any of our predecessors or affiliates, and the number of shares of our common stock beneficially owned by such stockholder before this offering. The number of shares owned are those beneficially owned, as determined under the rules of the SEC, and such information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Under such rules, beneficial ownership includes any shares of common stock as to which a person has sole or shared voting power or investment power and any shares of common stock which the person has the right to acquire within 60 days through the exercise of any option, warrant or right, through conversion of any security or pursuant to the automatic termination of a power of attorney or revocation of a trust, discretionary account or similar arrangement.
 
Unless otherwise indicated, the stockholders listed in the table below acquired their shares in our private offerings on April 6, 2006, April 20, 2006 or September 8, 2006. The percentage of common stock outstanding is based upon a total of 60,281,253 issued and outstanding shares of our common stock on October 6, 2006. Shares underlying warrants or options exercisable within 60 days of October 6, 2006 are considered for the purpose of determining the percent of the class held by the holder of such warrants or options, but not for the purpose of computing the percentages held by others. We have assumed all shares reflected on the table that were acquired in our private offerings will be sold from time to time. Because the selling stockholders may offer all or any portion of the common stock listed in the table below, no estimate can be given as to the amount of those shares of common stock acquired in our private offerings that will be held by the selling stockholders upon the termination of any sales of common stock.

Beneficial ownership is calculated based on 60,281,253 shares of our common stock outstanding as of October 6, 2006. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a person and the percentage of ownership of that person, shares of common stock subject to options or warrants held by that person that are currently exercisable or become exercisable within 60 days of October 6, 2006 are deemed outstanding even if they have not actually been exercised. The persons and entities named in the table have sole voting and sole investment power with respect to the shares set forth opposite the stockholder’s name, subject to community property laws, where applicable, unless otherwise noted in the footnotes to the table.

Warrants

The following table sets forth information about the number of shares of common stock underlying the warrants which are beneficially owned by each selling stockholder and which may be offered from time to time under this prospectus. Certain selling stockholders may be deemed to be “underwriters” as defined in the Securities Act. Any profits realized by the selling stockholder may be deemed to be underwriting commissions.

The table below has been prepared based upon information provided to us by the selling stockholders, as well as our books and records, including our warrant ledger, as of October 6, 2006. The selling stockholders identified below may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of some or all of their warrants since the date on which the information in the following table is presented, in transactions exempt from or not subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Information concerning the selling stockholders may change from time to time and, if necessary, we will amend or supplement this prospectus accordingly. We cannot give an estimate as to whether the selling stockholders will exercise or sell the warrants that will be held by the selling stockholders upon termination of this offering because the selling stockholders may sell or exercise their warrants, in whole or in part, under the offering contemplated by this prospectus. The total number of shares underlying warrants that may be sold hereunder will not exceed the shares of common stock underlying warrants listed in the table below. Please read the section entitled “Plan of Distribution” in this prospectus.

We have been advised, as noted below in the footnotes to the table, 18 of the selling stockholders are broker-dealers and 8 of the selling stockholders are affiliates of broker-dealers. We have been advised that each of such selling stockholders purchased our warrants in the ordinary course of business, not for resale, and that none of such selling stockholders had, at the time of purchase, any agreements or understandings, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the related warrants.

The following table sets forth the name of each selling stockholder, the nature of any position, office, or other material relationship, if any, which the selling stockholder has had, within the past three years, with us or with any of our predecessors or affiliates, and the number of shares of our common stock underlying the warrants beneficially owned by such stockholder before this offering. The warrants owned for the purposes of this table are those that are beneficially owned, as determined under the rules of the SEC, and such information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Under such rules, beneficial ownership includes any warrants as to which a person has sole or shared voting power or investment power and any warrants which the person has the right to acquire within 60 days through the conversion of any security or pursuant to the automatic termination of a power of attorney or revocation of a trust, discretionary account or similar arrangement.

Unless otherwise indicated, the stockholders listed in the table below acquired their warrants in the private offerings of our securities in April, 2006 and September, 2006. The percentage of common stock underlying outstanding warrants is based upon a total of 20,693,127 shares of common stock underlying outstanding warrants. We have assumed all warrants reflected in the following table will be exercised or sold from time to time by the selling stockholders. Because the selling stockholders may offer all of their warrants, in whole or in part, listed in the table below, no estimate can be given as to the number of shares of common stock underlying warrants that will be held by the selling stockholders upon the termination of any sales of their warrants.

We have agreed to bear the expenses in connection with the registration of the common stock and warrants being offered hereby by the selling stockholders.

The board of directors will determine the period of time during which an option may be exercised, except that no option may be exercised more than ten years after the date of grant.

DIVIDEND POLICY

We have never declared or paid dividends on shares of our common stock and we intend to retain future earnings, if any, to support the development of our business and therefore do not anticipate paying cash dividends for the foreseeable future. Payment of future dividends, if any, will be at the discretion of our board of directors after taking into account various factors, including current financial condition, operating results and current and anticipated cash needs.

MANAGEMENT’S PLAN OF OPERATION

A discussion of our past financial results is not pertinent to the business plan of the Company on a going forward basis, as the result of the change in our business and operations from a pre-exploration stage company early in 2006 to a company engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of oil and natural gas properties following the merger with Foothills California and the TARH Acquisition.

Our cash balance as of September 29, 2006 was $10.7 million, representing net proceeds received from the private placements of our securities in April and September, 2006, less amounts expended to date for (i) capital expenditures, (ii) general operating expenses, and (iii) our acquisition of properties from TARH E&P Holdings, L.P. in September, 2006. This amount, together with anticipated cash flows from operations, is expected to be sufficient to conduct our planned activities during the next 12 months.

The following describes our current business plan, including a summary of planned acquisition, exploration and development opportunities, our ability to satisfy our cash requirements, and our need to raise additional funds over the next year.

 
·
We have fulfilled our obligations under Phase I of the Eel River Project, in which we had an obligation to pay 100% of the costs of drilling two wells, acquiring additional leasehold acres, and certain other activities. We have also initiated a leasing program to significantly expand the joint venture’s leasehold position in the basin. We plan to proceed to Phase II, in which we will have an obligation to pay 100% of the costs of drilling another well to be commenced by the end of 2006 and of conducting a 3D seismic survey covering not less than 15 square miles. Subject to

-55-


the completion of permitting and regulatory requirements, we expect to conduct the 3D seismic survey in the fall of 2006 and to commence the drilling of the Phase II well in late 2006 or early 2007. Our financial resources are expected to be adequate to complete the Phase II activities.

 
·
Following the acquisition of properties from TARH E&P Holdings, Inc., we have been applying our technical expertise to recompletions, workovers, and other operations at the four fields acquired. We have also begun planning and permitting for a 3D seismic survey at the Goose Creek and Goose Creek East oil fields, which is expected to provide a much more accurate mapping of the reservoirs and lead to the identification of undeveloped opportunities and deeper oil and gas prospects at the fields. We plan to conduct development and exploration drilling, and to evaluate the technical and economic viability of improved recovery operations, such as water floods.

 
·
On the Anadarko Project, TeTra Ex., Inc. (owned by John Moran, our President) has reprocessed the 3D data and completed preliminary geological and geophysical interpretations of that data. We plan to acquire TeTra’s rights to the data and finalize the interpretations, identify drillable prospects, acquire oil and gas leases over those prospects, and negotiate joint ventures with other companies, who will be able to earn interests in the leases by paying some or all of the costs of drilling one or more exploratory wells on the prospects. Our financial resources are expected to be adequate to conduct these activities.
 
·
We plan to continue to evaluate exploration and development opportunities and appropriate acquisitions. If we successfully complete acquisitions, such acquisitions may provide additional cash flow which may allow us to expand our activities and capabilities, and advance exploration and development opportunities.

 
·
We expect an increase in general and administrative expenses to approximately $250,000 per month in 2007. We expect to expand our staff from five to nine employees with additions in the areas of geoscience, engineering and accounting.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Hedging Transactions

In connection with our credit facility with J. Aron & Company, we are contractually obligated to hedge no less than 80% of all our oil and gas production. We are currently a party to hedging agreements, and we intend to enter into hedging arrangements in the future, to reduce the impact of oil and gas price volatility on our cash flow. By removing a significant portion of the price volatility from our future oil and gas revenues, we have mitigated, but not eliminated, the potential effects of changing oil and gas prices on our cash flows from operations for those periods. While such hedging transactions mitigate our risk of declining prices for oil and gas, they also limit the potential gains that we would experience if prices in the market were to rise.

BUSINESS

Company Overview

Foothills is an oil and gas exploration company engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of oil and natural gas properties. The Company’s operations are primarily those of Foothills California, Inc., Foothills Texas, Inc. and Foothills Oklahoma, Inc., our wholly-owned subsidiaries. Foothills California, Inc., a Delaware corporation, was formed on December 29, 2005 as Brasada Resources LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and converted to Brasada California, Inc., a Delaware corporation, on February 28, 2006. On April 6, 2006, Brasada California, Inc. merged with our wholly-owned acquisition subsidiary, leaving Brasada California, Inc. the surviving corporation and our wholly-owned subsidiary. Brasada California, Inc. later changed its name to Foothills California, Inc. following the merger. Foothills Oklahoma, Inc. was formed on May 10, 2006 to conduct our operations in Oklahoma. Foothills Texas, Inc. was formed in August, 2006 for the purpose of acquiring certain assets from TARH E&P Holdings, L.P. and operating those properties following the September 8, 2006 consummation of this acquisition. We currently conduct our operations primarily through these subsidiaries.

Prior to our identification of the acquisition of the properties of TARH E&P Holdings, L.P. in Texas, our primary focus was on oil and natural gas properties located in the Eel River Basin, California, and the Anadarko Basin, Oklahoma. On June 22, 2006, we announced that Foothills Texas, Inc. had entered into definitive agreements with TARH E&P Holdings, L.P., an affiliate of Texas American Resources Company, for the acquisition of certain properties in Texas. This acquisition expanded our operations into Texas, though we will continue to operate and expand our operations in California and Oklahoma.

Our business strategy is to identify and exploit low-to-moderate risk resources in and adjacent to existing or indicated producing areas that can be quickly developed and put on production at low cost, including the acquisition of producing properties with exploitation and exploration potential in these areas. We will also take advantage of our expertise to develop exploratory projects in focus areas and to participate with other companies in those areas to explore for oil and natural gas using state-of-the-art 3D seismic technology.

We have entered into an agreement with Moyes & Co., Inc. to identify potential acquisition, development, exploitation and exploration opportunities that fit with our strategy. Moyes & Co., Inc. is expected to screen opportunities and perform detailed evaluation of those opportunities that we decide to pursue, as well as assist with due diligence and negotiations with respect to such opportunities. Christopher P. Moyes is the beneficial owner of 6.8% of our common stock as of October 6, 2006, and is a member of our board of directors. Mr. Moyes is a major shareholder and the President of Moyes & Co., Inc. However, Moyes & Co., Inc. is being compensated for identifying opportunities and assisting us in pursuing those opportunities; therefore the interests of Moyes & Co., Inc. are not the same as our interests. We are responsible for evaluating any opportunities presented to us by Moyes & Co., Inc. to determine if those opportunities are consistent with our business strategy.

California

We believe that the oil and gas industry has in effect overlooked California in recent years because of the perceived difficulties of conducting operations in the state. We believe this situation creates opportunities.

California has abundant and long-lived oil and gas resources with prolific hydrocarbon basins. Infrastructure supporting oil and gas exploration, development and production activities is in place, consisting of contractors, suppliers, pipelines and refineries. Most oil and gas basins in the state are

significantly under-explored even near large fields, with operators concentrating on a few, large, heavy oil resources. Offset exploration in and near fields has frequently been ignored. There is a dramatic lack of use of 3D seismic and other latest seismic technologies in many of the basins, and in some areas (such as the Eel River Basin) we believe there has been insufficient attention to drilling and drilling fluid engineering. Through the experience and relationships of management, we have strong ties to other significant oil and gas companies operating in California.

Texas

On September 8, 2006, Foothills Texas, Inc. consummated the acquisition of TARH E&P Holdings, L.P.’s interests in four oilfields in southeastern Texas. We paid aggregate consideration of $62 million for the properties, comprised of a cash payment of approximately $57.5 million and the issuance of 1,605,345 shares of common stock to TARH E&P Holdings, L.P.

In the acquisition, Foothills Texas acquired interests in four fields: the Goose Creek Field and Goose Creek East Field, both in Harris County, Texas, the Cleveland Field, located in Liberty County, Texas, and the Saratoga Field located in Hardin County, Texas. These interests represent working interests ranging from 95% to 100% in the four fields, which contain more than 30 productive reservoirs between 800 feet and 4,500 feet, and approximately 4,000 gross acres of leasehold or fee interests.

Oklahoma

The Anadarko Basin in western Oklahoma and the Texas panhandle is one of the most prolific oil and natural gas producing basins in the United States. Most of the shallow shelf portion of the basin can be characterized as very mature. However, much promise remains in the deeper portion of the basin that is characterized by stratigraphic traps in the Pennsylvanian Morrow formation and structural traps in the Ordovician Hunton formation, two of the formations targeted by the Company.

Project Status

Eel River Basin

The Eel River Basin is the northernmost of the California sedimentary basins. Most of the basin exists offshore of northern California and southern Oregon. However, a portion of the basin is present onshore in Humboldt County, California. Hydrocarbons generated in the deeper offshore part of the basin have migrated updip into the Miocene and Pliocene rocks present in this area. The onshore portion of the basin contains the Tompkins Hill natural gas field that was discovered by Texaco in 1937. It is now owned and operated by Occidental, has produced in excess of 120 billion cubic feet (“BCF) of natural gas, and is continuing to produce.

The Grizzly Bluff area, approximately five miles south of the Tompkins Hill Field, was initially proven to contain natural gas in three wells drilled by Zephyr in the mid-1960s. In the early 1970s, Chevron drilled a deep well seeking oil but found strong indications of natural gas. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, ARCO drilled several wells and found natural gas in the shallow zones. These wells were successfully tested at rates of up to 2.2 million cubic feet (“MMCF”) of gas per day, but the wells were never put into production due to the lack of a natural gas market and pipeline connection, and were subsequently abandoned.

In the past decade, we believe the industry has overlooked the hydrocarbon potential and production within the Eel River Basin due to its relatively isolated position in California. INNEX Energy, L.L.C. recognized this overlooked potential in the form of multiple low resistivity, low contrast sands that

possibly define part of a widespread, basin-centered natural gas play. INNEX Energy, L.L.C. began acquiring oil and gas leases in the area in 2000 to test this concept and entered into a joint venture with Forexco, Inc. in 2002. A subsequent 10-well drilling program in 2003 by Forexco, Inc. encountered drilling and completion problems, but established production from four wells in the Grizzly Bluff area that are now producing approximately 500 thousand cubic feet of gas per day. This field was brought on line in late 2003 with the completion of a natural gas gathering system and a new pipeline that connects to the PG&E Corporation backbone grid for northern California. INNEX Energy, L.L.C. and Forexco, Inc. terminated their joint venture in 2004.

The Tompkins Hill Field is the analog field in the basin for the Eel River Project. The distance between the Tompkins Hill Field and the Grizzly Bluff Field is approximately five miles. This production is from similar age rocks at similar depths as the Grizzly Bluff Prospect, the first prospect that we drilled in the Eel River Project. Our mapping indicates that substantial natural gas reserves occur above the lowest tested gas in the Grizzly Bluff Field in multiple stacked Pliocene sandstone reservoirs. Shallow proved producing, proved undeveloped, and probable reserves overlie additional deeper potential, defining a project that will involve drilling between 3,000 and 10,500 feet.

On January 3, 2006, Foothills California, Inc. entered into a Farmout and Participation Agreement with INNEX California, Inc., a subsidiary of INNEX Energy, L.L.C., to acquire, explore and develop oil and natural gas properties located in the Eel River Basin, the material terms of which are as follows:

 
·
We serve as operator of a joint venture with INNEX California, Inc., and have the right to earn an interest in approximately 3,500 existing leasehold acres held by INNEX California, Inc. in the basin, and to participate as operator with INNEX California, Inc. in oil and gas acquisition, exploration and development activities within an area of mutual interest consisting of the entire Eel River Basin.
 
 
·
The agreement provides for “drill-to-earn” terms, and consists of three phases.
 
 
·
In Phase I, we were obligated to pay 100% of the costs of drilling two wells, acquiring 1,000 acres of new leases, and certain other activities. We have fulfilled our obligations under Phase I, and will receive an assignment from INNEX California, Inc. of a 75% working interest (representing an approximate 56.3% net revenue interest) in the leases held by INNEX California, Inc. in the two drilling units to the deepest depth drilled in the two Phase I obligation wells.
 
 
·
We then had the option, but not the obligation, to proceed into Phase II. We plan to proceed into Phase II, and will pay 100% of the costs of drilling one well and conducting a 3D seismic survey covering not less than 15 square miles. Upon completion of Phase II, we will receive an assignment from INNEX California, Inc. of a 75% working interest (representing an approximate 56.3% net revenue interest) in the leases held by INNEX California, Inc. in the drilling unit and a 75% working interest (representing an approximate 59.3% net revenue interest) in all remaining leases held by INNEX California, Inc. to the deepest depth drilled in the three Phase I and II obligation wells.
 
 
·
We will then have the option, but not the obligation, to proceed into Phase III. In Phase III, we will pay 100% of the costs of drilling one deep well. Upon completion of Phase III, we will receive an assignment from INNEX California, Inc. of a 75% working interest (representing an approximate 56.3% net revenue interest) in the leases held by INNEX California, Inc. in the drilling unit and a 75% working interest (representing an approximate 59.3% net revenue interest) in all remaining leases held by INNEX California, Inc. with no depth limitation.
 
 
·
After completion of Phase III, the two parties will each be responsible for funding their working interest share of the joint venture’s costs and expenses. We will generally have a 75% working


interest in activities conducted on specified prospects existing at the time of execution of the agreement, and a 70% working interest in other activities. Each party will be able to elect not to participate in exploratory wells on a prospect-by-prospect basis, and a non-participating party will lose the opportunity to participate in development activities and all rights to production relating to that prospect.
 
 
·
We are also entitled to a proportionate assignment from INNEX California, Inc. of its rights to existing permits, drill pads, roads, rights-of-way, and other infrastructure, as well as its pipeline access and marketing arrangements.
 
 
·
INNEX California, Inc. has an option to participate for a 25% working interest in certain producing property acquisitions by us in the area of mutual interest.
 
During the period from June through August, 2006, we drilled the Christiansen 3-15 well and the Vicenus 1-3 well in the Grizzly Bluff Field to total depths of 4,815 feet and 5,747 feet, respectively. In September, 2006, we commenced commercial production from the Christiansen 3-15 well and on September 19, 2006 announced that production is expected to ramp up in stages to a target rate of about 1 million cubic feet of natural gas per day. On September 19, 2006, we also announced that the Vicenus 1-3 well is expected to be placed on production within the next two weeks following installation of production equipment that has been ordered. As of September 29, 2006, we had not completed the evaluation of the drilling results and production information from these two wells that will be required to estimate proved reserves, if any, that we may have discovered in the Grizzly Bluff Field. We expect to acquire a 3D seismic survey over the Grizzly Bluff Field during the fourth quarter of 2006, which should assist us in identifying specific locations for future wells and is also expected to allow for the direct detection of natural gas, especially in shallower formations.

The Eel River Project is the centerpiece of a large exploitation-exploration opportunity. There is presently minimal competition in the basin, providing us with an opportunity to effectively control the entire basin.

Texas Properties

We have established and initiated an ongoing recompletion program that is expected to increase daily production from the fields in Texas. A 3D seismic survey, which has been proven to be an effective exploration tool in the area, is presently being planned to identify the upside potential at the Goose Creek Field and Goose Creek East Field. The 3D seismic survey is expected to result in much more accurate mapping of the reservoirs and lead to the identification of undeveloped opportunities and deeper oil prospects at the fields. In addition, the seismic surveys in these areas show a strong gas signature over gas reservoirs, a Direct Hydrocarbon Indicator (“DHI”). This “DHI” effect directly contributed to the discovery of two nearby natural gas fields from the Vicksburg reservoirs. To date, the Hematite Field, which is located immediately adjacent to the Goose Creek East Field, has produced 22 billion cubic feet of gas equivalent (“bcfe”) from eight wells and the Eagle Bay Field has produced 156 bcfe from 15 wells. The Company believes that the deeper Vicksburg reservoirs offer significant upside potential in the Goose Creek Field, where old wellbores encountered gas in the Vicksburg reservoirs which was not produced at the time of discovery. A gas pipeline runs through the eastern part of the property, allowing for early monetization of this gas.

Anadarko Basin

The initial focus of our activities within the Anadarko Basin has been the area covered by a 75 square mile 3D seismic survey in Roger Mills County, Oklahoma. Through a license held by TeTra Ex., Inc. (which is owned by our President, John Moran), the Company is planning to acquire non-exclusive access

to this survey, which was shot in 1998. The 3D seismic survey was initially shot by a major oil company to define stratigraphic traps in the Pennsylvanian sedimentary section in an area of substantial Pennsylvanian natural gas production. That company drilled only one well using the 3D seismic data set. The well encountered wet Morrow sand and was plugged and abandoned. That company subsequently exited oil and gas exploration activity in the MidContinent region and no further activity has been conducted in the area using this data. Numerous exploratory ideas remain to be exploited on this data set, both in the Pennsylvanian section as well as the deeper Ordovician section. The best wells completed in these rocks typically flow in excess of 10 MMCF of natural gas per day and contain reserves in the 20 to 50 BCF range.

We have completed preliminary geological and geophysical interpretations of the 3D seismic data, and have reprocessed the 3D data. We plan to finalize the interpretations, identify drillable prospects, acquire oil and gas leases over those prospects, and negotiate joint ventures with other companies, who will be able to earn interests in the leases by drilling one or more exploratory wells on the prospects.

Markets and Customers

The market for oil and natural gas that we will produce depends on factors beyond our control, including the extent of domestic production and imports of oil and natural gas, the proximity and capacity of natural gas pipelines and other transportation facilities, demand for oil and natural gas, the marketing of competitive fuels and the effects of state and federal regulation. The oil and gas industry also competes with other industries in supplying the energy and fuel requirements of industrial, commercial and individual consumers.

Our oil production is expected to be sold at prices tied to the spot oil markets. Our natural gas production is expected to be sold under short-term contracts and priced based on first of the month index prices or on daily spot market prices.

Regulations

General

Our business is affected by numerous laws and regulations, including energy, environmental, conservation, tax and other laws and regulations relating to the energy industry. Most of our drilling operations will require permit or authorizations from federal, state or local agencies. Changes in any of these laws and regulations or the denial or vacating of permits could have a material adverse effect on our business. In view of the many uncertainties with respect to current and future laws and regulations, including their applicability to us, we cannot predict the overall effect of such laws and regulations on our future operations.

We believe that our operations comply in all material respects with applicable laws and regulations. There are no pending or threatened enforcement actions related to any such laws or regulations. We believe that the existence and enforcement of such laws and regulations will have no more restrictive an effect on our operations than on other similar companies in the energy industry.

Proposals and proceedings that might affect the oil and gas industry are pending before Congress, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”), state legislatures and commissions and the courts. We cannot predict when or whether any such proposals may become effective. In the past, the natural gas industry has been heavily regulated. There is no assurance that the regulatory approach currently pursued by various agencies will continue indefinitely. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we do not anticipate that

compliance with existing federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations will have a material adverse effect upon our capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position.

Federal Regulation of Sales and Transportation of Natural Gas

Historically, the transportation and sale of natural gas and its component parts in interstate commerce has been regulated under several laws enacted by Congress and the regulations passed under these laws by FERC. Our sales of natural gas, including condensate and liquids, may be affected by the availability, terms and cost of transportation. The price and terms of access to pipeline transportation are subject to extensive federal and state regulation. From 1985 to the present, several major regulatory changes have been implemented by Congress and FERC that affect the economics of natural gas production, transportation and sales. In addition, FERC is continually proposing and implementing new rules and regulations affecting those segments of the natural gas industry, most notably interstate natural gas transmission companies that remain subject to FERC’s jurisdiction. These initiatives may also affect the intrastate transportation of gas under certain circumstances. The stated purpose of many of these regulatory changes is to promote competition among the various sectors of the natural gas industry.

The ultimate impact of the complex rules and regulations issued by FERC cannot be predicted. In addition, many aspects of these regulatory developments have not become final but are still pending judicial and final FERC decisions. We cannot predict what further action FERC will take on these matters. Some of FERC’s more recent proposals may, however, adversely affect the availability and reliability of interruptible transportation service on interstate pipelines. We do not believe that we will be affected by any action taken materially differently than other natural gas producers, gatherers and marketers with whom we compete.

State Regulation

Our operations are also subject to regulation at the state and in some cases, county, municipal and local governmental levels. Such regulation includes requiring permits for the drilling of wells, maintaining bonding requirements in order to drill or operate wells and regulating the location of wells, the method of drilling and casing wells, the surface use and restoration of properties upon which wells are drilled, the plugging and abandonment of wells and the disposal of fluids used and produced in connection with operations. Our operations are also subject to various conservation laws and regulations pertaining to the size of drilling and spacing units or proration units and the unitization or pooling of oil and gas properties.

In addition, state conservation laws, which frequently establish maximum rates of production from oil and gas wells, generally prohibit the venting or flaring of gas and impose certain requirements regarding the rates of production. State regulation of gathering facilities generally includes various safety, environmental and, in some circumstances, nondiscriminatory take requirements, but, except as noted above, does not generally entail rate regulation. These regulatory burdens may affect profitability, but we are unable to predict the future cost or impact of complying with such regulations.

Environmental Matters

We are subject to extensive federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations relating to water, air, hazardous substances and wastes, and threatened or endangered species that restrict or limit our business activities for purposes of protecting human health and the environment. Compliance with the multitude of regulations issued by federal, state, and local administrative agencies can be burdensome and costly. State environmental regulatory programs are generally very similar to the corresponding federal environmental regulatory programs, and federal environmental regulatory programs are often delegated to the states.
 
Our oil and gas exploration and production operations are subject to state and/or federal solid waste regulations that govern the storage, treatment and disposal of solid and hazardous wastes. However, much of the solid waste that will be generated by our oil and gas exploration and production activities is exempt from regulation under federal, and many state, regulatory programs. To the extent our operations generate solid waste, such waste is generally subject to state regulations. We will comply with solid waste regulations in the normal course of business.

In addition to solid and hazardous waste, our production operations may generate produced water as a waste material. This water can sometimes be disposed of by discharging it to surface waters under discharge permits issued pursuant to the Clean Water Act, or an equivalent state program. Another common method of produced water disposal is subsurface injection in disposal wells. Such disposal wells are permitted under the Safe Drinking Water Act, or an equivalent state regulatory program. The drilling, completion, and operation of produced water disposal wells are integral to oil and gas operations.

Air emissions and exhaust from gas-fired generators and from other equipment, such as gas compressors, are potentially subject to regulations under the Clean Air Act, or equivalent state regulatory programs. To the extent that our air emissions are regulated, they are generally regulated by permits issued by state regulatory agencies. We will obtain air permits, where needed, in the normal course of business.

In the event that spills or releases of crude oil or produced water occur, we would be subject to spill notification and response regulations under the Clean Water Act, or equivalent state regulatory programs. Depending on the nature and location of our operations, we may also be required to prepare spill prevention, control and countermeasure response plans under the Clean Water Act, or equivalent state regulatory programs. Response costs could be high and may have a material adverse effect on our operations. We may not be fully insured for these costs.

Failure to comply with environmental regulations may result in the imposition of substantial administrative, civil, or criminal penalties, or restrict or prohibit our desired business activities. Environmental laws and regulations impose liability, sometimes strict liability, for environmental cleanup costs and other damages. Other environmental laws and regulations may delay or prohibit exploration and production activities in environmentally sensitive areas or impose additional costs on these activities.

Costs associated with responding to a major spill of crude oil or produced water, or costs associated with remediation of environmental contamination, are the most likely occurrences that could result in a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, changes in applicable federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations potentially could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Competition

The oil and gas industry is highly competitive. Competitors include major oil companies, other independent energy companies and individual producers and operators, many of which have financial resources, personnel and facilities substantially greater than we have. We face intense competition for the acquisition of oil and gas leases and properties. For a more thorough discussion of how competition could impact our ability to successfully complete our business strategy, see “Risk Factors — Competition in obtaining rights to explore and develop oil and gas reserves and to market our production may impair our business.”

Employees

As of October 6, 2006 the Company had five full-time employees. None of our employees is represented by a labor union, and we consider our employee relations to be good.

Description of Property

We commenced our present business activities in April, 2006. Through June 30, 2006, we had no proved oil and gas reserves, production, or productive wells or acreage. Our undeveloped acreage as of that date consisted of oil and gas leases covering 2,987 gross (2,987 net) acres in California. As of June 30, 2006, we had not completed the drilling of any productive or dry exploratory or development wells. As of that date, one gross (.75 net) exploratory well in California was in progress and was subsequently completed as a productive well.

Our principal executive offices are located at 4540 California Avenue, Suite 550, Bakersfield, California 93309 and our phone number is (661) 716-1320. We currently lease approximately 4,500 square feet of office space and believe that suitable additional space to accommodate our anticipated growth will be available in the future on commercially reasonable terms.

Legal Proceedings.

From time to time we may become a party to litigation or other legal proceedings that, in the opinion of our management are part of the ordinary course of our business. Currently, no legal proceedings or claims are pending against or involve us that, in the opinion of our management, could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations.

Board Committees

The Board intends to appoint such persons and form such committees as are required to meet the corporate governance requirements imposed by the national securities exchanges. Therefore, we intend that a majority of our directors will eventually be independent directors and at least one director will qualify as an “audit committee financial expert.”  Additionally, the Board is expected to appoint an audit committee, nominating committee and compensation committee, and to adopt charters relative to each such committee. Until further determination by the Board, the full Board will undertake the duties of the audit committee, compensation committee and nominating committee. We do not currently have an “audit committee financial expert” since we currently do not have an audit committee in place.

2006 Equity Incentive Plan

Our 2006 Equity Incentive Plan enables our board of directors to provide equity-based incentives through grants or awards of incentive awards to our present and future employees, directors, consultants and other third party service providers. As of October 6, 2006, we had five employees, four executive officers, four directors, and two consultants and other third party service providers eligible to participate in the equity incentive plan.
 
The board of directors reserved a total of 2,000,000 shares of our common stock for issuance under the equity incentive plan, of which options for the purchase of 1,260,000 shares have been granted and 740,000 shares remain reserved for issuance. Shares issued under the plan through the settlement, assumption or substitution of outstanding awards or obligations to grant future awards as a condition of acquiring another entity will not reduce the maximum number of shares available under the plan. In addition, the number of shares of our common stock issuable under the plan, any number of shares subject to any numerical limit in the plan, and the number of shares and terms of any incentive award will be adjusted in the event of any change in our outstanding common stock by reason of any stock dividend, spin-off, split-up, stock split, reverse stock split, recapitalization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, liquidation, business combination or exchange of shares or similar transaction.
 
The compensation committee of our board of directors (or the entire board of directors in the absence of such a committee), administers the plan. Subject to the terms of the plan, the compensation committee will have complete authority and discretion to determine the terms of awards under the plan.

The plan authorizes the grant, to participants, of nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, performance grants intended to comply with Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, and stock appreciation rights, as described below:

 
·
Options granted under the plan entitle the grantee, upon exercise, to purchase a specified number of shares from us at a specified exercise price per share. The exercise price for shares of common stock covered by an option cannot be less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant unless we agree otherwise at the time of the grant.

 
·
Restricted stock awards and restricted stock units may be awarded on terms and conditions established by the compensation committee, which may include performance conditions for restricted stock awards and the lapse of restrictions on the achievement of one or more performance goals for restricted stock units.

 
·
The compensation committee may make performance grants, each of which will contain performance goals for the award, including the performance criteria, the target and maximum amounts payable, and other terms and conditions.

 
·
The plan authorizes the granting of stock awards. The compensation committee will establish the number of shares of common stock to be awarded and the terms applicable to each award, including performance restrictions.

-70-


·
Stock appreciation rights entitle the participant to receive a distribution in an amount not to exceed the number of shares of common stock subject to the portion of the stock appreciation right exercised multiplied by the difference between the market price of a share of common stock on the date of exercise of the stock appreciation right and the market price of a share of common stock on the date of grant of the stock appreciation right.

The board of directors may suspend or terminate the plan without stockholder approval or ratification at any time or from time to time. Unless sooner terminated, the plan will terminate 10 years after it was adopted. The board of directors may also amend the plan at any time. No change may be made that increases the total number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance pursuant to incentive awards or reduces the minimum exercise price for options or exchange of options for other incentive awards, unless such change is authorized by our stockholders.

Compensation of Directors

Directors who are not also executive officers of the Company receive a standard fee of $5,000 for each non-telephonic meeting of the Board that such directors attend. Additionally, for such meetings, the Company reimburses the non-management directors for reasonable travel expenses. The directors do not receive a per-meeting fee for telephonic meetings of the Board.

In consideration of their service to the Company, options were issued to each of our directors under the Company’s 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, with the exception of Mr. Moyes. Directors are also eligible to receive additional awards at the discretion of the Board under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan.

Mr. Tower and Mr. Moran have entered into employment agreements with the Company, which are explained in detail above. Neither Mr. Tower nor Mr. Moran receives the $5,000 fee for attending non-telephonic meeting of the Board. Additionally, options granted to each of Mr. Tower and Mr. Moran to date under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan have been granted pursuant to their employment agreements with the Company, though there is no prohibition on further grants by the Board under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan on the basis of Mr. Tower’s and Mr. Moran’s service on the Board.

Christopher Moyes has foregone the compensation described above, pursuant to the terms of our retainer agreement with Moyes & Co., Inc., dated April 7, 2006. Under our retainer agreement, we will pay Moyes & Co., Inc. a monthly retainer of $17,500 for a period of one year, and reimburse normal business travel expenses, in exchange for Moyes & Co., Inc.’s services to us. Moyes & Co., Inc. identifies potential acquisition, development, exploitation and exploration opportunities which fit with our operating strategy. Additionally, Moyes & Co., Inc. initially screens such opportunities, performs detailed evaluations of each potential opportunity, and assists with due diligence and negotiations of those opportunities we decide to pursue.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
 
On April 7, 2006, we entered into an agreement with Moyes & Co., Inc. to identify potential acquisition, development, exploitation and exploration opportunities that fit with our strategy. Moyes & Co., Inc. screens opportunities and performs detailed evaluation of those opportunities that we decide to pursue, and assists with due diligence and negotiations with respect to such opportunities. Christopher P. Moyes is the beneficial owner of 6.8% of our common stock as of October 6, 2006, and is a member of our board of directors. Mr. Moyes is a major shareholder and the President of Moyes & Co., Inc. However, Moyes & Co., Inc. is being compensated for identifying opportunities and assisting us in pursuing those opportunities, and therefore the interests of Moyes & Co., Inc. are not the same as our interests. We are

responsible for evaluating any opportunities presented to us by Moyes & Co., Inc. to determine if those opportunities are consistent with our business strategy.

Christopher Moyes has foregone his compensation as a director, pursuant to the terms of our agreement with Moyes & Co., Inc., dated April 7, 2006. Under the agreement, we will pay Moyes & Co., Inc. a monthly retainer of $17,500 for a period of one year, and reimburse normal business travel expenses, in exchange for Moyes & Co., Inc.’s services to us.

Pursuant to our business plan with respect to the Anadarko Basin in southwest Oklahoma, we anticipate acquiring non-exclusive rights, from TeTra Ex., Inc., to a 3D seismic survey in Roger Mills County, Oklahoma. TeTra Ex., Inc. is a company that is owned by John Moran, our President. TeTra Ex., Inc. has reprocessed the 3D survey and completed preliminary geological and geophysical interpretations of the survey data. Upon our acquisition of rights to the survey from TeTra Ex., Inc., we plan to finalize the interpretations, identify drillable prospects, acquire oil and gas leases over those prospects, and negotiate joint ventures with other companies.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The selling stockholders and any of their pledgees, donees, transferees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. The selling stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:

 
·
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits Investors;
 
 
·
block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
 
 
·
purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
 
 
·
an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
 
 
·
privately negotiated transactions;
 
 
·
to cover short sales made after the date that this registration statement is declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission;
 
 
·
broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;
 
 
·
a combination of any such methods of sale; and
 
 
·
any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
 
The selling stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.
 
Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. The selling stockholders do not expect these commissions and discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved.

The selling stockholders may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell shares of common stock from time to time under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus.
 
Upon a selling stockholder’s notification of the Company that any material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of such stockholder’s common stock through a block trade, special offering, exchange distribution or secondary distribution or a purchase by a broker or dealer, a supplement to this prospectus will be filed, if required, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act disclosing (i) the name of each such selling stockholder and of the participating broker-dealer(s), (ii) the number of shares involved, (iii) the price at which such shares of common stock were sold, (iv) the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed to such broker-dealer(s), where applicable, (v) that such broker-dealer(s) did not conduct any investigation to verify the information set out or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, and (vi) other facts material to the transaction. In addition, upon the Company being notified in writing by a Selling Stockholder that a donee or pledgee intends to sell more than 500 shares of common stock, a supplement to this prospectus will be filed if then required in accordance with applicable securities law.
  
The selling stockholders also may transfer the shares of common stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.
 
The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Discounts, concessions, commissions and similar selling expenses, if any, that can be attributed to the sale of Securities will be paid by the selling stockholder and/or the purchasers. Each selling stockholder has represented and warranted to the Company that it acquired the securities subject to this registration statement in the ordinary course of such selling stockholder’s business and, at the time of its purchase of such securities such selling stockholder had no agreements or understandings, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute any such securities.
 
The Company has advised each selling stockholder that it may not use shares registered on this registration statement to cover short sales of common stock made prior to the date on which this registration statement shall have been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission. If a selling stockholder uses this prospectus for any sale of the common stock, it will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The selling stockholders will be responsible to comply with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder promulgated, including, without limitation, Regulation M, as applicable to such selling stockholders in connection with resales of their respective shares under this registration statement.
 
The Company is required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the shares, but the Company will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the common stock. The Company has agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

Our board of directors is vested with authority to divide the shares of preferred stock into series and fix and determine the relative rights and preferences of the shares of any such series. Once authorized, the dividend or interest rates, conversion rates, voting rights, redemption prices, maturity dates and similar characteristics of the preferred stock will be determined by our board of directors, without the necessity of obtaining approval of the stockholders.

Description of Warrants

We have issued, and there are currently outstanding, warrants to purchase 20,693,127 shares of our common stock. Of this total, warrants to acquire 12,172,975 shares of common stock were issued at an exercise price of $1.00 per share. Of these outstanding warrants, warrants to acquire 10,958,065 shares of common stock will expire on April 6, 2011 and warrants to acquire 1,214,910 shares of common stock will expire on April 20, 2011. These warrants were issued in the private offering of our securities which closed on April 6, 2006 and April 20, 2006.

Warrants to acquire 8,046,919 shares of our common stock were issued at an exercise price of $2.75 per share. Of this number, warrants to acquire 8,000,017 shares of common stock will expire on September 8, 2011 and warrants to acquire 46,902 shares of common stock will expire on September 27, 2006. These warrants were issued in the private offering of our securities which closed on September 8, 2006 and September 27, 2006. In this September private offering of our securities, we issued the placement agent in the offering a warrant to acquire 473,233 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.25 per share.

Warrants issued in the April, 2006 Offering

In our private offering of securities during April, 2006, we issued warrants to acquire 12,172,975 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share. These warrants are exercisable for five years from the date of their issuance, and if they are not exercised by the fifth anniversary of their issuance, they will expire and become void and of no value.

The exercise price and number of shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants will be adjusted to reflect any subdivision or combination of our common stock, any stock dividends or similar rearrangements of the common stock, or any reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale of Foothills Resources, Inc. The warrants and the shares of common stock underlying the warrants issued to investors in the April, 2006 private offering are being registered for resale by their holders under this prospectus.

Warrants Issued in the September, 2006 Offering

In our private offering of securities during September, 2006, we issued warrants to acquire 8,046,919 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $2.75 per share. These warrants are exercisable for five years from the date of their issuance, and if they are not exercised by the fifth anniversary of their issuance, they will expire and become void and of no value.

The warrants are subject to mandatory exercise, at the Company’s option, if (i) the shares underlying the warrant are registered pursuant to a registration statement that has remained effective at least 45 consecutive days prior to the mandatory exercise date, (ii) our common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange, American Stock Exchange or NASDAQ Global Market, and (iii) the closing price of the common stock is at least $5.50 per share for at least 20 consecutive trading days prior to the date we exercise our mandatory exercise right. The exercise price and number of shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants will be adjusted to reflect any subdivision or combination of our common stock, any stock dividends or similar rearrangements of the common stock, or any reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale of Foothills Resources, Inc.

The warrants and the shares of common stock underlying the warrants issued to investors in the September, 2006 private offering are being registered for resale by their holders under this prospectus.

Warrant Issued to Goldman, Sachs & Co.

In connection with our September 8, 2006 execution of a credit and guaranty agreement with J. Aron & Company, an affiliate of Goldman, Sachs & Co., we issued to Goldman, Sachs & Co. a warrant to purchase 3,000,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $2.75 per share. This warrant will be exercisable for five years from the date of issuance, and if not exercised by the fifth anniversary of its issuance will expire and become void and of no value. The warrant issued to the Goldman, Sachs & Co. had substantially the same provision for mandatory exercise by the company, and the same registration rights, as the warrants issued to investors in the September, 2006 offering of our securities, as described above.

The Placement Agent Warrant

Upon the September 8, 2006 and September 27, 2006 closings of our September, 2006 private offering of our securities, we issued warrants to acquire shares of our common stock to Sanders Morris Harris Inc., our placement agent in the offering. On September 8, 2006, we issued a warrant to acquire 466,666 shares of our common stock, and on September 27, 2006, we issued a warrant to acquire 6,567 shares of our common stock. Each warrant had an exercise price of $2.25 per share. The warrants were issued to Sanders Morris Harris Inc. as consideration for its services as the placement agent in the September, 2006 offering. The warrants each have a five-year exercise term and the same registration rights as the warrants issued to investors in the offering and the warrant issued to Goldman, Sachs & Co. in connection with our credit and guaranty agreement with J. Aron & Company.

Description of Options

The Company has issued stock options under the 2006 Plan to plan participants to purchase a total of 1,260,000 shares of common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $1.45. Under the terms of the 2006 Plan, we may issue incentive awards that may include the issuance of up to 2,000,000 shares of common stock (inclusive of the 1,260,000 shares with respect to previously granted options). The 2006 Plan was adopted by our board of directors prior to the merger between our wholly-owned subsidiary and Foothills California, Inc. on April 6, 2006.

Indemnification; Limitation of Liability

Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”) Sections 78.7502 and 78.751 provide us with the power to indemnify any of our directors and officers. The director or officer must have conducted himself/herself in good faith and reasonably believe that his/her conduct was in, or not opposed to our best interests. In a criminal action, the director, officer, employee or agent must not have had reasonable cause to believe his/her conduct was unlawful.

Under NRS Section 78.751, advances for expenses may be made by agreement if the director or officer affirms in writing that he/she believes he/she has met the standards and will personally repay the expenses if it is determined such officer or director did not meet the standards.

Our bylaws include an indemnification provision under which we have the power to indemnify our directors, officers and former directors and officers (including heirs and personal representatives) against all costs, charges and expenses actually and reasonably incurred, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment to which the director or officer is made a party by reason of being or having been a director or officer of Foothills or any of our subsidiaries.

Our bylaws also provide that the directors may cause Foothills to purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of a person who is or was serving as a director, officer, employee or agent of Foothills or any of our subsidiaries (including heirs and personal representatives) against a liability incurred by him/her as a director, officer, employee or agent.

Our articles of incorporation provide a limitation of liability in that no director or officer shall be personally liable to Foothills or any of our stockholders for damages for breach of fiduciary duty as director or officer involving any act or omission of any such director or officer, provided there was no intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of the law, or payment of dividends in violation of NRS Section 78.300.

Our employment and indemnification agreements with certain of our executive officers contain provisions which require us to indemnify them for costs, charges and expenses incurred in connection with (i) civil, criminal or administrative actions resulting from the executive officers service as such and (ii) actions by us or on our behalf to which the executive officer is made a party. We are required to provide such indemnification if (i) the executive officer acted honestly and in good faith with a view to our best interests, and (ii) in the case of a criminal or administrative proceeding or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary policy, the executive officer had reasonable grounds for believing that his conduct was lawful.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted for our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Anti-Takeover Effects of Provisions of Nevada State Law

We may be or in the future we may become subject to Nevada's control share law. A corporation is subject to Nevada's control share law if it has more than 200 stockholders, at least 100 of whom are stockholders of record and residents of Nevada, and if the corporation does business in Nevada or through an affiliated corporation.

The law focuses on the acquisition of a “controlling interest” which means the ownership of outstanding voting shares is sufficient, but for the control share law, to enable the acquiring person to exercise the following proportions of the voting power of the corporation in the election of directors: (1) one-fifth or more but less than one-third, (2) one-third or more but less than a majority, or (3) a majority or more. The ability to exercise such voting power may be direct or indirect, as well as individual or in association with others.

The effect of the control share law is that the acquiring person, and those acting in association with it, obtain only such voting rights in the control shares as are conferred by a resolution of the stockholders of the corporation, approved at a special or annual meeting of stockholders. The control share law contemplates that voting rights will be considered only once by the other stockholders. Thus, there is no authority to take away voting rights from the control shares of an acquiring person once those rights have been approved. If the stockholders do not grant voting rights to the control shares acquired by an acquiring person, those shares do not become permanent non-voting shares. The acquiring person is free to sell its shares to others. If the buyers of those shares themselves do not acquire a controlling interest, their shares do not become governed by the control share law.

If control shares are accorded full voting rights and the acquiring person has acquired control shares with a majority or more of the voting power, any stockholder of record, other than an acquiring person, who has not voted in favor of approval of voting rights is entitled to demand fair value for such stockholder's

shares.

Nevada's control share law may have the effect of discouraging corporate takeovers.

In addition to the control share law, Nevada has a business combination law, which prohibits certain business combinations between Nevada corporations and "interested stockholders" for three years after the "interested stockholder" first becomes an "interested stockholder" unless the corporation's board of directors approves the combination in advance. For purposes of Nevada law, an "interested stockholder" is any person who is (1) the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of ten percent or more of the voting power of the outstanding voting shares of the corporation, or (2) an affiliate or associate of the corporation and at any time within the three previous years was the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of ten percent or more of the voting power of the then outstanding shares of the corporation. The definition of the term "business combination" is sufficiently broad to cover virtually any kind of transaction that would allow a potential acquirer to use the corporation's assets to finance the acquisition or otherwise to benefit its own interests rather than the interests of the corporation and its other stockholders.

The effect of Nevada's business combination law is to potentially discourage parties interested in taking control of Foothills from doing so if it cannot obtain the approval of our board of directors.

CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

Upon the merger between our wholly-owned subsidiary and Foothills California, Inc. (formerly Brasada California, Inc.), Foothills California, Inc. became our wholly-owned subsidiary. Following the merger, our management and business operations became substantially the management and business operations of Foothills California, Inc. prior to the merger.

Prior to the merger, the independent registered public accounting firm for the Registrant was Amisano Hanson Chartered Accountants, and the independent registered public accounting firm for Foothills California, Inc. was Brown, Armstrong, Paulden, McCown, Starbuck, Thornburgh & Keeter Accountancy Corporation. Because the merger was treated as a reverse acquisition for accounting purposes, our historical financial reports filed after the merger will be those of Foothills California, Inc., the accounting acquirer, prior to the merger. Accordingly, our board of directors changed our independent registered public accounting firm from Amisano Hanson to Brown Armstrong. Amisano Hanson was formally dismissed as our independent registered public accounting firm on April 12, 2006, effective as of April 6, 2006, and Brown Armstrong was engaged as our independent registered public accounting firm on April 6, 2006. As a result of its role as the auditor of Foothills California, Inc. prior to the Merger, Brown Armstrong consulted with us regarding the merger.

The reports of Amisano Hanson on our financial statements for fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles, but did include an explanatory paragraph relating to our ability to continue as a “going concern.”

In connection with the audit of our financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, and through the date of the dismissal (and including the period from April 6, 2006 through April 12, 2006), there were no disagreements with Amisano Hanson on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Amisano Hanson, would have caused Amisano Hanson to make reference to the matter in its reports.
 
During fiscal year 2006, through the date of the dismissal of Amisano Hanson, no information is required to be reported under Item 304(a)(1)(iv)(B) of Regulation S-B. This change in accountants was disclosed in Amendment 1 to Foothills’ Current Report on Form 8-K/A, filed with the SEC on May 5, 2006.

FOOTHILLS RESOURCES, INC.
(A Development Stage Company)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2006
(Unaudited)
 
 
Note 1 - Summary of Operations and Going Concern

Foothills Resources, Inc. (“Foothills”), a Nevada corporation, and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to herein as the “Company.” The Company is a growth-oriented independent energy company engaged in the acquisition, exploration, exploitation and development of oil and natural gas properties. The Company currently holds interests in properties in the Eel River Basin, in northern California, and the Anadarko Basin in southwest Oklahoma. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 7, Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises, the Company is considered to be a development stage company.

Foothills took its current form on April 6, 2006, when Brasada California, Inc. (“Brasada”) merged with and into an acquisition subsidiary of Foothills. Brasada was formed on December 29, 2005 as Brasada Resources LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and converted to a Delaware corporation on February 28, 2006. Following the merger, Brasada changed its name to Foothills California, Inc. (“Foothills California”) and is now a wholly owned operating subsidiary of Foothills. The Company adopted the assets, management, business operations and business plan of Foothills California. The financial statements of the Company prior to the merger were eliminated at consolidation. This transaction was accounted for as a reverse takeover of the Company by Foothills California.

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon obtaining the necessary financing to acquire, explore and develop oil and gas interests and to generate profitable operations from its oil and gas interests in the future. To address these matters, management intends to raise additional capital through the sale and issuance of equity and/or the utilization of debt. The Company is currently conducting a private placement of common shares and warrants and is negotiating credit facilities in connection with a planned acquisition of oil and gas properties (see Note 4).

Should the going concern assumptions not be appropriate and the Company not be able to realize its assets and settle its liabilities in the normal course of operations, these financial statements would require adjustments to the amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities.


Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies

These financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit, and include all adjustments (which consist solely of normal recurring adjustments) which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and results of operations. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2005.
 
Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Foothills and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company accounts for its investments in oil and gas joint ventures using the proportionate consolidation method, whereby the Company’s proportionate share of each entity’s assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses is included in the appropriate classification in the financial statements.

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 amounts reported in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from such estimates. Changes in such estimates may affect amounts reported in future periods.

Oil and gas properties

The Company follows the full-cost method of accounting for oil and gas properties. Under this method, all productive and nonproductive costs incurred in connection with the acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas reserves are capitalized in separate cost centers for each country in which the Company has operations. Such capitalized costs include leasehold acquisition, geological, geophysical and other exploration work, drilling, completing and equipping oil and gas wells, asset retirement costs, internal costs directly attributable to property acquisition, exploration and development, and other related costs. The Company also capitalizes interest costs related to unevaluated oil and gas properties.

The capitalized costs of oil and gas properties in each cost center are amortized using the unit-of-production method. Sales or other dispositions of oil and gas properties are normally accounted for as adjustments of capitalized costs. Gains or losses are not recognized in income unless a significant portion of a cost center’s reserves is involved. Capitalized costs associated with the acquisition and evaluation of unproved properties are excluded from amortization until it is determined whether proved reserves can be assigned to such properties or until the value of the properties is impaired. Unproved properties are assessed at least annually to determine whether any impairment has occurred. If the net capitalized costs of oil and gas properties in a cost center exceed an amount equal to the sum of the present value of estimated future net revenues from proved oil and gas reserves in the cost center and the costs of properties not being amortized, both adjusted for income tax effects, such excess is charged to expense.

Asset retirement obligations

The fair value of an asset retirement obligation is recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate can be made. The Company’s asset retirement obligations primarily relate to the abandonment of oil and gas wells and producing facilities.

Revenue recognition

Oil and gas revenues from producing wells are recognized when title and risk of loss is transferred to the purchaser of the oil or gas.

New accounting pronouncements

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Financial Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109,” to clarify certain aspects of accounting for uncertain tax positions, including issues related to the recognition and measurement of those tax positions. This interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of this interpretation on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No.156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets,” which requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities be initially measured at fair value. SFAS 156 permits, but does not require, the subsequent measurement of servicing assets and servicing liabilities at fair value. Adoption is required as of the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The adoption of SFAS 156 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140.” SFAS 155 clarifies certain issues relating to embedded derivatives and beneficial interests in securitized financial assets. The provisions of SFAS 155 are effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006. Adoption of this statement is expected to have no impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”), replacing SFAS No. 123, “ Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,”, and superceding Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “ Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees ” (“APB 25”). SFAS 123R requires recognition of share-based compensation in the financial statements. SFAS 123R was effective as of the first annual reporting period that began after June 15, 2005 and was adopted on January 1, 2006. See Note 3 for further details.


Note 3 - Stock-Based Compensation

Share-Based Employee Compensation Plans

Foothills’ 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”) enables the Company to provide equity-based incentives through grants or awards of incentive awards to present and future employees, directors, consultants and other third party service providers.
 
Foothills’ Board of Directors reserved a total of 2,000,000 shares of Foothills’ common stock for issuance under the 2006 Plan. Shares issued under the 2006 Plan through the settlement, assumption or substitution of outstanding awards or obligations to grant future awards as a condition of acquiring another entity will not reduce the maximum number of shares available under the 2006 Plan. In addition, the number of shares of common stock subject to the 2006 Plan, any number of shares subject to any numerical limit in the 2006 Plan, and the number of shares and terms of any incentive award will be adjusted in the event of any change in outstanding common stock by reason of any stock dividend, spin-off, split-up, stock split, reverse stock split, recapitalization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, liquidation, business combination or exchange of shares or similar transaction.

The compensation committee of the Board (or the Board in the absence of such a committee), administers the 2006 Plan. Subject to the terms of the 2006 Plan, the compensation committee has complete authority and discretion to determine the terms of awards under the 2006 Plan.
 
The 2006 Plan authorizes the grant, to participants, of nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, performance grants intended to comply with Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, and stock appreciation rights, as described below:

 
·
Options granted under the 2006 Plan entitle the grantee, upon exercise, to purchase a specified number of shares at a specified exercise price per share. The exercise price for shares of common stock covered by an option cannot be less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant unless the compensation committee agrees otherwise at the time of the grant.

 
·
Restricted stock awards and restricted stock units may be awarded on terms and conditions established by the compensation committee, which may include performance conditions for restricted stock awards and the lapse of restrictions on the achievement of one or more performance goals for restricted stock units.

 
·
The compensation committee may make performance grants, each of which will contain performance goals for the award, including the performance criteria, the target and maximum amounts payable, and other terms and conditions.

 
·
The 2006 Plan authorizes the granting of stock awards. The compensation committee establishes the number of shares of common stock to be awarded and the terms applicable to each award, including performance restrictions.

 
·
Stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) entitle the participant to receive a distribution in an amount not to exceed the number of shares of common stock subject to the portion of the SAR exercised multiplied by the difference between the market price of a share of common stock on the date of exercise of the SAR and the market price of a share of common stock on the date of grant of the SAR.

The Board may suspend or terminate the 2006 Plan without stockholder approval or ratification at any time or from time to time. Unless sooner terminated, the 2006 Plan will terminate 10 years after it is adopted. The Board may also amend the 2006 Plan at any time. No change may be made that increases the total number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance pursuant to incentive awards or reduces the minimum exercise price for options or exchange of options for other incentive awards, unless such change is authorized by Foothills’ stockholders.

Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncement

Stock-based compensation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 totaling $114,000 has been recognized as a component of general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Effective January 1, 2006 the Company adopted SFAS 123R, which requires it to measure the cost of stock-based compensation granted, including stock options and restricted stock, based on the fair market value of the award as of the grant date, net of estimated forfeitures. SFAS 123R supersedes SFAS 123 and APB 25. The Company had no stock-based compensation grants prior to January 1, 2006.

The estimated fair value of the options granted during 2006 was calculated using a Black Scholes Merton option pricing model (“Black Scholes”). The following schedule reflects the various assumptions included in this model as it relates to the valuation of options:
 
 
 
 
 
 
June 30,
2006
 
Risk free interest rate
   
4.83 - 4.98
%
Weighted average volatility
   
79 - 138
%
Dividend yield
   
0
%
Expected years until exercise
   
0.5 - 3
 

The Black Scholes model incorporates assumptions to value stock-based awards. The risk-free rate of interest for periods within the expected term of the option was based on a zero-coupon U.S. government instrument over the expected term of the equity instrument. Because Foothills’ common stock has limited trading history, expected volatility was based on the historical volatility of a representative stock with characteristics similar to the Company. The Company has no historical experience upon which to base estimates of employee option exercise timing (“expected term”) within the valuation model, and utilized estimates for the expected term based on criteria required by SFAS 123R.

As of June 30, 2006, $785,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.8 years.

Option activity under the 2006 Plan as of June 30, 2006 and changes during the six months ended June 30, 2006 were as follows:

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value (the difference between the closing stock price on the last trading day of the second quarter of 2006 and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options) that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options on June 30, 2006. The amount of aggregate intrinsic value will change based on the fair market value of the Company’s stock. No stock options were exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2006.
 
Note 4 - Commitment

On June 21, 2006, the Company entered into two definitive acquisition agreements (the “Purchase Agreements”) to acquire certain producing properties in Southeast Texas (the “TARH Acquisition”) from TARH E&P Holdings, L.P. (“TARH”). The aggregate consideration is $62 million, comprised of a cash payment of approximately $57.5 million and the issuance of a maximum of 1,730,769 shares of Foothills common stock to TARH with a deemed value of $4.5 million, based on a per-share average closing price of Foothills’ common stock as reported with on the NASD’s Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board for the twenty 20 trading days prior to the date of the public announcement of the TARH Acquisition.

Under the Purchase Agreements, the Company will acquire TARH’s interests in four fields: the Goose Creek Field and Goose Creek East Field, both in Harris County, Texas, the Cleveland Field, located in Liberty County, Texas, and the Saratoga Field located in Hardin County, Texas. These interests represent working interests ranging from 95% to 100% of the four fields, which contain more than 30 productive reservoirs between 800 feet and 4,500 feet, and approximately 4,000 gross acres of leasehold or fee interests. The TARH Acquisition will be funded primarily by debt financing as well as a portion of the proceeds from an equity placement currently in progress. The acquisitions are expected to close no later than August 31, 2006.

BRASADA RESOURCES LLC
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2005

Note 1 - Summary of Operations and Going Concern

Brasada Resources LLC (the “Company”) was organized December 29, 2005 as a limited liability company under the laws of the state of Delaware. The Company’s principal business is to pursue opportunities in oil and gas acquisition, exploration and development. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 7, Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises, the Company is considered to be a development stage company.

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon obtaining the necessary financing to acquire, explore and develop oil and gas interests and to generate profitable operations from its oil and gas interests in the future. To address these matters, management intends to:

 
·
borrow from Foothills Resources, Inc., a Nevada company (“Foothills”), under a bridge loan facility to fund its planned initial acquisition, exploration and development activities (see Note 3); and

 
·
pursue a merger with Foothills, which will allow the Company to raise additional capital through the sale and issuance of common shares of its corporate successor-in-interest (see Note 3).

Should the going concern assumptions not be appropriate and the Company not be able to realize its assets and settle its liabilities in the normal course of operations, these financial statements would require adjustments to the amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities.


Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of consolidation

The Company accounts for its investments in oil and gas joint ventures using the proportionate consolidation method, whereby the Company’s proportionate share of each entity’s assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses is included in the appropriate classification in the financial statements.

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 amounts reported in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from such estimates. Changes in such estimates may affect amounts reported in future periods.

Oil and gas properties

The Company follows the full-cost method of accounting for oil and gas properties. Under this method, all productive and nonproductive costs incurred in connection with the acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas reserves are capitalized in separate cost centers for each country in which the Company has operations. Such capitalized costs include leasehold acquisition, geological, geophysical and other exploration work, drilling, completing and equipping oil and gas wells, asset retirement costs, internal costs directly attributable to property acquisition, exploration and development, and other related costs. The Company also capitalizes interest costs related to unevaluated oil and gas properties.
 
The capitalized costs of oil and gas properties in each cost center are amortized using the unit-of-production method. Sales or other dispositions of oil and gas properties are normally accounted for as adjustments of capitalized costs. Gains or losses are not recognized in income unless a significant portion of a cost center’s reserves is involved. Capitalized costs associated with the acquisition and evaluation of unproved properties are excluded from amortization until it is determined whether proved reserves can be assigned to such properties or until the value of the properties is impaired. Unproved properties are assessed at least annually to determine whether any impairment has occurred. If the net capitalized costs of oil and gas properties in a cost center exceed an amount equal to the sum of the present value of estimated future net revenues from proved oil and gas reserves in the cost center and the costs of properties not being amortized, both adjusted for income tax effects, such excess is charged to expense.

Asset retirement obligations

The fair value of an asset retirement obligation is recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate can be made. The Company’s asset retirement obligations primarily relate to the abandonment of oil and gas wells and producing facilities.

Members' capital

The operations of the Company are governed by the provisions of an operating agreement executed by and among its members. The total capital contributed by the members as of December 31, 2005 was $50,000.

Revenue recognition

Oil and gas revenues from producing wells are recognized when title and risk of loss is transferred to the purchaser of the oil or gas.

New accounting pronouncements

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (“SFAS 123(R)”). SFAS 123(R) is a revision of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation (“SFAS 123”), and supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (“APB 25”). Among other items, SFAS 123(R) eliminates the use of APB 25 and the intrinsic value method of accounting, and requires companies to recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments based on the grant date fair value of those awards. SFAS 123(R) permits the use of the Black-Scholes model as well as other standard option pricing models. The compliance date for SFAS 123(R) has been amended such that the standard will be effective for the first full fiscal year beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company has not yet determined which model it will use to measure the fair value of employee stock options upon the adoption of SFAS 123(R) and has not yet determined the impact on the Company’s future operating results.

In March 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB“) No. 107 on SFAS No. 123(R) (“SAB 107”). SAB 107 reinforces the flexibility allowed by SFAS 123(R) to choose an option pricing model, provides guidance on when it would be appropriate to rely exclusively on either historical or implied volatility in estimating expected volatility and provided examples and simplified approaches to determining the expected term. In April 2005, the SEC extended the date by which companies are required to adopt SFAS 123(R) from the first reporting period beginning on or after June 15, 2005 to the first reporting period of the first full fiscal year beginning on or after June 15, 2005.
 
Note 3 - Subsequent Events

In January 2006, the Company’s members contributed an additional $50,000 to its capital.

In January 2006, the Company entered into a Farmout and Participation Agreement providing for a joint venture for exploration, development and production of oil and gas in the Eel River Basin, California (the “Eel River Agreement”). Under the terms of the Eel River Agreement, the Company will serve as operator of the joint venture. To earn interests in certain of the leases held by its joint venture partner, the Company must (a) drill two exploratory wells no later than June 30, 2006, subject to rig availability, (b) acquire 1,000 additional leasehold acres in the area of mutual interest, and (c) conduct certain other operations. Following successful completion of these activities, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to conduct additional activities in accordance with the Eel River Agreement to earn additional leasehold interests.

In February 2006, the Company was converted into a Delaware corporation named Brasada California, Inc. (“Brasada”). Under Delaware law, all of the Company’s assets, liabilities, rights and obligations were acquired and assumed by Brasada, and the capital of the Company’s members was exchanged for shares of Brasada’s common stock.

In March 2006, Brasada entered into a binding term sheet with Foothills providing for (a) a private placement of $7,000,000 of common stock and warrants of Foothills, (b) the merger of Brasada into a wholly owned subsidiary of Foothills, in exchange for the issuance of 42.9% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Foothills to the shareholders of Brasada, and (c) the bridge loan facility described in the following paragraph.

In March 2006, Brasada entered into agreements with Foothills, pursuant to which Brasada may borrow up to $3,000,000 from Foothills to meet agreed working capital commitments. The loans are evidenced by a promissory note (the “Bridge Note”), which matures 120 days from the date of the loans, bears interest at 9% per annum payable monthly commencing 30 days from the date of the loans, and is secured by all of Brasada’s assets and shares of its common stock equal to 51% of such stock issued and outstanding. Upon the closing of the transaction described in the preceding paragraph, all amounts outstanding under the Bridge Note will be forgiven, and the Bridge Note will be deemed repaid in full.

Oil and Gas Reserve Quantities

Proved reserves represent estimated quantities of crude oil and natural gas which geological and engineering data demonstrate to be reasonably recoverable in the future from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions. Proved developed reserves can be expected to be recovered through existing wells, with existing equipment and operating methods.

The Company had no proved reserves as of December 31, 2005.

PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Item 24. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Under Nevada law, a corporation shall indemnify a director or officer against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him, to the extent the director or officer has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding. A corporation may indemnify a director or officer who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him/her in connection with the action, suit or proceeding. Excepted from that immunity are:

 
·
a willful failure to deal fairly with the company or its stockholders in connection with a matter in which the director has a material conflict of interest;
 
·
a violation of criminal law (unless the director had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was lawful or no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful);
 
·
a transaction from which the director derived an improper personal profit; and

Item 26. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.

There have been no sales of unregistered securities within the last three years which would be required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 701 of Regulation S-B, except for the following:

On September 8, 2006, and September 27, 2006, we closed on a private offering of units consisting of shares of our common stock and warrants to acquire our common stock. Each unit we sold in the offering consisted of one share of common stock and a warrant to acquire one-half share of common stock for five years at an exercise price of $2.75 per share. On September 8, 2006, we received $22,500,000 in proceeds from the offering, through the sale of 10,000,000 units, issuing to investors in the offering 10,000,000 shares of common stock and warrants to acquire 5,000,000 shares of common stock. On September 27, 2006, we received proceeds of an additional $211,059 through the sale of an additional 93,804 units to additional investors in the offering.

The September, 2006 offering was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated by the SEC. The units were offered and sold only to “accredited investors,” as that term is defined under Rule 501 of Regulation D, some of which were institutional investors, and to fewer than 35 non-accredited investors, in compliance with Rule 506. Sanders Morris Harris Inc. acted as placement agent in the private offering and, for its services, received compensation from us of $1,246,306, plus warrants to acquire 473,233 shares of common stock at $2.25 per share. Sanders Morris Harris Inc. did not receive compensation for 3,333,333 units sold in the offering to Goldman, Sachs & Co.

Each of the investors in the September, 2006 offering executed a subscription agreement, securities purchase agreement and registration rights agreement, all dated as of September 8, 2006.

Also on September 8, 2006, we closed Foothills Texas, Inc.’s acquisition of properties from TARH E&P Holdings, Inc. The consideration included the issuance of 1,605,345 shares of common stock to TARH E&P Holdings, Inc. These shares were issued to TARH E&P Holdings, Inc. in a private transaction which was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.

On April 6, 2006, our wholly-owned subsidiary merged with Foothills California, Inc. (formerly Brasada California, Inc.). On the closing date of that merger, the holders of Foothills California Inc.’s issued and outstanding capital stock before the merger surrendered all of their issued and outstanding capital stock of Foothills California, Inc. and received 17,375,000 shares of our common stock. This issuance of shares to the former stockholders of Foothills California, Inc. was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.
II-1

 
On the closing date of the merger, and on April 20, 2006, we closed a private offering of an aggregate of 17,142,857 units consisting of one share of our common stock and warrants to acquire three-quarters of a share of common stock for five years, at an exercise price of $1.00 per whole share. In this offering, we received aggregate consideration of $12,000,000. Some of the consideration for the units sold in this offering was in the form of debentures that we sold prior to the closing date of the offering to accredited investors. These debentures converted into units in the offering on a dollar-for-dollar basis upon the closing date of the offering and the merger.

Item 28. Undertakings.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
 
(1)
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to:
 
 
(i)
Include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

 
(ii)
Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

 
(iii)
Include any additional or changed material information on the plan of distribution.
 
(2)
For determining liability under the Securities Act, to treat each post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the securities offered, and the offering of the securities at that time to be the initial bona fide offering.
 
(3)
To file a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering.

(4)
For determining liability of the undersigned small business issuer under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned small business issuer undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned small business issuer pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned small business issuer will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

 
(i)
Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned small business issuer relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (§ 230.424 of this chapter);

 
(ii)
Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned small business issuer or used or referred to by the undersigned small business issuer;

 
(iii)
The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned small business issuer or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned small business issuer; and

 
(iv)
Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned small business issuer to the purchaser.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the small business issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the small business issuer has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
 
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the small business issuer of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the small business issuer in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the small business issuer will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

For the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) (§ 230.424(b) of this chapter) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A (§ 230.430A of this chapter), shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
