Item 1.03

Bankruptcy or Receivership.

As previously disclosed, on July 12, 2009, Aurora Oil & Gas Corporation (the “Company”) and the Company’s 96.1% owned subsidiary, Hudson Pipeline & Processing Co., LLC (together, the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Michigan (the “Bankruptcy Court”).

On December 11, 2009, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order (the “Confirmation Order”) confirming the Debtors’ Modified First Amendment Joint Plan of Reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code, as filed with the Bankruptcy Court on November 5, 2009 (the “Plan”). The effective date for the plan is anticipated to occur on or about December 22, 2009 (“Effective Date”). Prior to closing on the Plan, the Company has 103,282,788 shares of common stock outstanding.

PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF THE PLAN, OLD AURORA COMMON STOCKHOLDERS WILL NOT RECEIVE ANY CASH OR SECURITIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE REORGANIZATION. THE PLAN PROVIDES FOR ALL OUTSTANDING SHARES OF OLD AURORA COMMON STOCK TO BE DEEMED CANCELLED AND TERMINATED ON THE EFFECTIVE DATE.

The following is a summary of the material terms of the Plan. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Confirmation Order and the Plan, which are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.33 and 10.34, respectively, and incorporated in this Item 1.03 by reference.

In accordance with Bankruptcy Code 1123, administrative claims, Debtor-In-Possession (“DIP”) facility claims and tax claims have not been classified and are excluded from the classes below. Holders of an allowed administrative claim, DIP facility claim and tax claims shall receive full satisfaction of such claim.

The 6 classes of claims and interests and treatment under the Plan are summarized as follows:

Class 1 – Holders of allowed priority claims are to be paid in full within 30 days of the Effective Date of the Plan. Priority claims are entitled to priority pursuant to Bankruptcy Code 507(a) or (b) and are not administrative claims or tax claims.

Class 2 – Holders of allowed first lien loan claims will receive $20 million of tranche A notes under the exit credit facility, $20 million of tranche B notes under the exit credit facility and 32 million shares of new Aurora preferred stock. The exit credit facility will be the obligation of new Aurora and will be effective on the Effective Date or as soon thereafter as practical. Holders of allowed second lien loan claims will receive 56 million shares of new Aurora class A common stock.

Holders of allowed other secured claims against the Company or Hudson Pipeline & Processing Co., LLC will receive either: (i) the amount of such claim in full, in cash, on the later of the Effective Date or the allowance date of such claim, (ii) return of the underlying collateral to such claim, (iii) reinstatement of such claim in accordance with the provisions of Bankruptcy Code 1124, (vi) payment of such claim in full in the ordinary course or (v) treatment of such claim in a manner otherwise agreed to by the holder.

The Holder of allowed Northwestern Bank (“NW Bank”) secured claims will receive ownership of the NW Bank note collateral on the Effective Date and the right to offset NW Bank’s advance to old Aurora against the Company’s depository account in the amount of $506,649. In addition, the NW Bank letters of credit will remain in full force and effect on and after the Effective Date and will become the obligation of new Aurora. In consideration of NW Bank’s agreement to treatment of the secured claims as previously described, new Aurora agrees to lease approximately one-half of the NW Bank note collateral at a base rent of $8,500 per month for a period of six months following the Effective Date.

Class 3 – Holders of allowed general unsecured claims against the Company will receive their pro rata share of $350,000. Holders of allowed general unsecured claims against Hudson Pipeline & Processing Co., LLC will receive their pro rata share of $50,000.

Class 4 – Holders of old Aurora common stock interests will receive nothing and the old Aurora common stock will be cancelled and be deemed terminated and of no force and effect.

Class 5 – Intercompany claims amongst the Debtors will be allowed provided that all intercompany claims will be reviewed by the Debtors and adjusted, continued, or discharged, as Debtors determine, as appropriate (by, among other things, releasing such claims, contributing them to capital, issuing a dividend, or leaving them unimpaired), taking into account, among other things, the distribution of consideration under the Plan and the economic condition of the reorganized debtors, among other things.

Class 6 – Holders of old Hudson Pipeline & Processing Co., LLC interests will receive nothing and the old Hudson Pipeline & Processing Co., LLC interests will be cancelled and be deemed terminated and of no force and effect.

Assets and liabilities of the Company and Hudson Pipeline and Processing Co., LLC as of November 30, 2009 are contained within Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, respectively attached hereto and incorporated by reference.

The Company intends to file a Form 15 with the Securities and Exchange Commission on or about the Effective Date to provide notice of the suspension of its reporting obligation under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Upon filing a Form 15, the Company will immediately cease filing any further periodic or current reports under the Exchange Act.

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

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

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

Cautionary Note on Forward-Looking Statements

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

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