and the interpretations and application of such laws, rules and regulations. BPK believes it is in compliance with all federal, state and local laws, regulations, and orders applicable to BPK and its properties and operations, the violation of which would have a material adverse effect on BPK or its financial condition.
Operating Hazards and Insurance
The gas and oil business involves a variety of operating risks, including the risk of fire, explosions, blow-outs, pipe failure, abnormally pressured formation, and environmental hazards such as oil spills, gas leaks, ruptures or discharges of toxic gases, the occurrence of any of which could result in substantial losses to BPK due to injury or loss of life, severe damage to or destruction of property, natural resources and equipment, pollution or other environmental damage, cleanup responsibilities, regulatory investigation and penalties and suspension of operations.
There can be no assurance that insurance, if any, will be adequate to cover any losses or exposure to liability. Although BPK believes certain policies obtained by operators provide coverage in scope and in amounts customary in the industry, they do not provide complete coverage against all operating risks. An uninsured or partially insured claim, if successful and of significant magnitude, could have a material adverse effect on BPK and its financial condition via its contractual liability to the Prospect.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
On February 9, 2006 BPK entered into an exclusive agreement with an investment banking firm (the “Firm”) to facilitate the Company’s efforts to raise capital. The agreement is in effect for six months. In connection with the Company’s recent financings the Company paid fees and expenses of approximately $100,250 to the Firm. In addition, warrants were issued to the Firm to purchase 112,500 shares of common stock. These warrants were valued at $14,700 using the Black-Scholes model. Some of the significant assumptions used in the model were a 4.6% risk free rate of return, a 113.3% stock price volatility, and weighted average life of three years.
On February 14, 2006, BPK commenced raising capital through a private placement offering by issuing subordinated convertible notes (the “Notes”) and warrants to acquire up to approximately 5,000,000 shares of its common stock. The Notes and warrants were sold in units (the “Units”) comprised of one Note in the principal amount of $50,000 and one warrant to purchase 333,333 shares of common stock. The purchase price was $50,000 per Unit. During February 2006, BPK sold a total of 15 units for gross proceeds of $750,000.
The Notes are convertible at the option of the purchaser into common stock at a conversion price of $0.15 per share and bear interest at 10% per annum. The unpaid principal balance of the Notes, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, are due on the earlier of, the date of consummation of the proposed business combination between the Company and GTG or the first anniversary of the date of the applicable note.
Each warrant is initially exercisable into common stock at an exercise price of $0.27 per share, is subject to adjustment; and can be exercised at any time during the three year exercise period.
In connection with the private offering, the Company has agreed to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) within 90 days after the private offering is completed and to have such registration statement declared effective by the SEC within 150 days after the private offering completed. In the event the Company fails to file the required registration statement within the 90-day period or have such registration statement declared effective by the SEC within the 150-day period, the Company will be obligated to pay in cash or in shares of Common Stock (at the Company’s option) an amount equal to 2% of the purchase price of the Units and an additional amount equal to 1% of the purchase price at the end of each subsequent 30-day period in which the registration statement is not filed or declared effective, as the case may be.
On January 30, 2006, the Company issued a $600,000 principal amount secured convertible debenture (the “Convertible Debenture”) and a warrant to purchase up to 1,200,000 shares of our common stock to Trident Growth Fund, LP (“Trident”). The Convertible Debenture accrues interest at the rate of 12% per annum payable monthly in arrears on the last day of each month, is secured by substantially all of our assets, and may be prepaid, in whole or in part, at the Company's option upon 90 days written notice. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the entire unpaid principal balance, together with accrued interest, will at the option of Trident become immediately due and payable in full, interest will accrue at the lesser of: (i) 18% per annum or (ii) the maximum rate allowed under applicable law. The Convertible Debenture is due the earlier of: (i) January 30, 2007; or (ii) the date of any Change of Control, as defined in therein. The proposed acquisition of Graphite does not constitute a Change of Control so long as it is closed by May 20, 2006. On April 13, 2006 BPK paid $300,000 towards the principal balance.
The Convertible Debenture is convertible in whole or in part at the option of Trident into shares of our common stock at an initial conversion price of the lesser of: (i) $0.13 per share; or (ii) the average price per share of our next debt or equity financing resulting in gross proceeds of at least $3,000,000. The conversion price is subject to proportional adjustment for stock splits, combinations, recapitalizations and stock dividends. In addition, if we issue additional shares of our common stock or securities convertible or exercisable into shares of our common stock at a price or conversion or exercise price, as applicable, less than the conversion price in effect immediately prior to such issuance, the conversion price will automatically be adjusted to such lower price. The Convertible Debenture contains standard and customary affirmative covenants with which we are required to comply. Commencing 90 days after issuance of the Convertible Debenture, we are required to comply with certain financial covenants including maintaining minimum current ration and cash flow coverage ratio.
In connection with the issuance of the Convertible Debenture, we issued a warrant to Trident to purchase up to 1,200,000 shares of our common stock. The warrant is immediately exercisable at an exercise price of the lesser of (i) $0.13 per share or (ii) the average price per share of our next debt or equity financing resulting in gross proceeds of at least $3,000,000. The warrant contains standard and customary cashless exercise provisions, and terminates
