EXPLANATORY NOTE

This is Amendment No. 1 to the Zion Oil & Gas, Inc. Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB for the three months ended March 31, 2006, as originally filed on September 14, 2006. This Amendment #1 modifies and expands the disclosure relating to Item 3 of Part I-- Controls and Procedures, and provides more details about the restatement of prior financial statements in Item 5 of Part II-Other Information. There have also been a small number of minor clarifications to certain of the disclosures at Item 2 of Part I - Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation at "Overview", "Going Concern Basis" and "Liquidity and Capital Resources". Minor revisions and adjustments were made to the "Financial Statements" in Item 1 of Part I to certain numbers in the comparative Statements of Operations and Statements of Cash Flows for the three month period ending March 31, 2005. Corrections were made to Notes 2, 3 and 6 of the Financial Statements to add information relating to the comparative fiscal period in 2005 (including details of the restatement of the

1


financial statements for the three months ending March 31, 2005). Disclosure was added to note 6 about the intrinsic value of warrants and options exercised. Note 8 (Income Taxes) to the Financial Statements presented in the Quarterly Report filed on September 14, was deleted and certain technical changes in the presentation of the financial statements were made. We also deleted certain information not required in this form relating to Issued Accounting Standards. The Form 10-QSB we filed on September 14 was filed prior to our independent accountants having completed their quarterly procedures.

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Nature of Operations

Effective July 9, 2003, Zion Oil & Gas, Inc., a Florida corporation ("Zion Florida") was merged into its wholly owned Delaware subsidiary, Zion Oil & Gas, Inc. (the Company), the purpose of which was solely to reincorporate from Florida to Delaware in anticipation of a public offering. Upon the reincorporation, all the outstanding shares of common stock in Zion Florida were converted into common stock of the Company on a one-to-one basis and all the outstanding shares of preferred stock in Zion Florida were converted into common stock of the Company at the ratio of twelve shares of common for each share of preferred stock. All of the outstanding warrants and options of Zion Florida were converted into equivalent warrants and options of the Company.

The Company holds a petroleum exploration license on approximately 98,100 acres of unproved properties in north-central Israel called the "Ma'anit-Joseph License", issued to the Company by the State of Israel. The term on the license expires April 30, 2007 and it contained a commitment to drill or reenter a well on or before April 30, 2005.

On April 10, 2005 the Company commenced the reentry of the Ma'anit #1 and deepening of the well. On July 19, 2005 the well reached a depth of 15,509 feet and testing and completion began thereafter. During drilling and completion operations, the well had numerous significant oil and gas shows in different zones. At present, completion operations on the Ma'anit #1 well have been temporarily suspended and the drilling rig has been released. On March 15, 2006 the terms of the license were amended to provide that the Company commence the drilling of a new well to a depth of at least 4,400 meters or reenter the Ma'anit #1 well on or before March 1, 2007. The Company's engineers are designing a comprehensive completion procedure using a smaller and less expensive completion rig for the purpose of reentering the Ma'anit #1 well.

Declaration of a commercial discovery on the Ma'anit-Joseph License prior to the end of the license term, as may in certain circumstances be extended, will entitle the Company to receive a 30-year lease (extendable on certain conditions for an additional 20 years) subject to compliance with a field development work program and production.

Effective August 1, 2005, the Company received formal notification and documentation from the Minister of National Infrastructures and the Petroleum Commissioner granting the Company's application for a Preliminary Permit with Priority Rights for an area covering approximately 121,100 acres abutting on and immediately to the north of the Ma'anit-Joseph License. The permit is designated the "Asher" Permit and covers lands on Israel's coastal plain and Mt. Carmel range. The Asher Permit is for an 18-month period and is subject to a work program, with an estimated total cost as adjusted for the amended work program of $265,000, which requires the Company to perform certain geological and geophysical work. Upon satisfactory performance in accordance with the work program, as may be amended, on May 16, 2006, the Company will have priority rights for the grant of an exploration license for a period of up to seven years for a portion of the Asher Permit area not to exceed 400,000 dunam (approximately 98,800 acres) subject to the fulfillment of the requirements of the Petroleum Law. Work on the program is in progress.

Operations in Israel are conducted through a branch office and the License and Permit are each held directly in the name of the Company. At present it is expected that all future income will be derived from Israeli operations.

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. Since the Company is in the development stage, it has limited capital resources, no revenue, and a loss from operations. The appropriateness of using the going concern basis is dependent upon the Company's ability to obtain additional financing or equity capital to finance its current operations and, ultimately, to achieve profitable operations. The uncertainty of these conditions has created substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The unaudited interim financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (CONTINUED)

Basis of Presentation (Continued)

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for the preparation of interim financial statements and, therefore, do not include all disclosures necessary for a complete presentation of financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles used in annual financial statements. All adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, of a normal recurring nature and are necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial statements, have been included. Nevertheless, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included in the Company's annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005. The results of operations for the period ended March 31, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year or any other interim period.

Management Presentation and Liquidity

On February 17, 2004, the registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission was declared effective to offer 7,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock to the public. The minimum offering requirement of $6,500,000 was not subscribed by the offering termination date of August 30, 2004. As a result, no securities were sold to the public, all escrow subscription funds (approximately $3.7 million) that had been received relating to the offering were sent back to the subscribers by the escrow agent, and the Company removed from registration the 7,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock. Since then Management raised capital through debt and private offerings and on January 25, 2006 filed a registration statement for a public offering with a lower minimum of $2,450,000. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations, and changes in financial position have been included.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Financial Statements in United States Dollars

The currency of the primary economic environment in which the operations of the Company are conducted is the United States dollar ("dollar"). Therefore, the dollar has been determined to be the Company's functional currency. Non-dollar transactions and balances have been translated into dollars in accordance with the principles set forth in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 52 "Foreign Currency Translation" (SFAS No. 52).

Transactions in foreign currency (primarily in New Israeli Shekels - "NIS") are recorded at the exchange rate as of the transaction date except for activities relating to balance sheet items which are recorded at the appropriate exchange rate of the corresponding balance sheet item. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are translated on the basis of the representative rate of exchange at the balance sheet date. Non monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are translated at historical exchange rates. All exchange gains and losses from remeasurement of monetary balance sheet items denominated in non-dollar currencies are reflected in the statement of operations as they arise.

Cash

The Company maintains its cash balance at two banks with one bank located in the United States and one bank located in Israel. For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Inventories

Inventories include equipment and materials to be used in future drilling and completion operations and are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is determined by the weighted average method.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Oil and Gas Properties

The Company follows the full-cost method of accounting for oil and gas properties. Accordingly, all costs associated with acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas reserves, including directly related overhead costs, are capitalized.

All capitalized costs of oil and gas properties, including the estimated future costs to develop proved reserves, are amortized on the unit-of-production method using estimates of proved reserves. Investments in unproved properties and major development projects are not amortized until proved reserves associated with the projects can be determined or until impairment occurs. If the results of an assessment indicate that the properties are impaired, the amount of the impairment is included in income from continuing operations before income taxes and the adjusted carrying amount of the unproved properties is amortized on the unit-of-production method.

Abandonment of properties are accounted for as adjustments to capitalized costs with no loss recognized. During the quarter ended March 31, 2006 and the year ended December 31, 2005 no unproved property was found to be impaired. The net capitalized costs are subject to a "ceiling test" which limits such costs to the aggregate of the estimated present value of future net revenues from proved reserves discounted at ten percent based on current economic and operating conditions, plus the lower of cost or fair market value of unproved properties. The recoverability of amounts capitalized for oil and gas properties is dependent upon the identification of economically recoverable reserves, together with obtaining the necessary financing to exploit such reserves and the achievement of profitable operations.

The company has no economically recoverable reserves and no amortization base. Unproved oil and gas properties consist of capitalized exploration costs (all of which are excluded from the amortization base) of $237,297 and $607,802 for the three month periods ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively and $7,929,797 from inception (April 6, 2000) to March 31, 2006.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment other than oil and gas property and equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated over their estimated useful lives of three to fourteen years.

Costs Associated With Public Offering

Costs associated with each specific private or public offering are accumulated until either the closing of the offering or its abandonment. If the offering is abandoned, the costs are expensed in the period the offering is abandoned. If the offering is completed and funds are raised, the accumulated costs are recorded as a reduction to the paid-in capital attributable to the offering. Financing costs not attributable to any specific offering are charged to expense as incurred.

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 reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting year. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Adoption of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

SFAS 123R - Share Based Payments: Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company applied the fair-value based method of accounting for all of its stock-based compensation plan in accordance with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board's Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("Statement 123")

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Adoption of Recently Issued Accounting Standards (Continued)

SFAS 123R-Share Based Payments (Continued): The fair value of stock-based compensation granted to employees and directors prior to July 15, 2003, the date of the Company's first filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, in connection with its IPO, was estimated on the date of grant using the minimum-value method as permitted for private entities under Statement No. 123.

The fair value of stock-based compensation granted to employees and directors subsequent to July 15, 2003, is measured according to the Black Scholes option-pricing model and recognized over the requisite service period.

As of January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004) "Share-Based Payments" ("SFAS 123R") using the modified prospective method, which requires measurement of compensation cost for all stock-based awards based upon the fair value on date of grant and recognition of compensation over the service period for awards expected to vest. Under this method, the Company will recognize compensation cost for awards granted beginning January 1, 2006, based on the Black Scholes option-pricing model.

The value of stock options, as noted, is recognized as compensation expense on a straight-line basis, over the requisite service period of the entire award, net of estimated forfeitures. On adoption of the modified prospective method in adopting SFAS 123R, the Company did not need to adjust the corresponding amounts included in these financial statements.

The adoption of SFAS 123R has had no effect on the Company's balance sheet or results of operations.

SFAS 151 - Inventory Costs, an Amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin ("ARB") No. 43: In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, "Inventory Costs - an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 43, Chapter 4" ("SFAS 151"). The amendments made by SFAS 151 clarify that abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and wasted materials (spoilage) should be recognized as current-period charges and require the allocation of fixed production overheads to inventory based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. The guidance is effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005.

The adoption of this SFAS 151 has had no effect on the Company's balance sheet and results of operations.

SFAS 153 - Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, an Amendment of Accounting Principles Bulletin (APB) Opinion No. 29, "Accounting for Nonmonetary Transaction": In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, "Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets - an amendment of Accounting Principles Bulletin (APB) Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions" ("SFAS 153"). The guidance in APB Opinion No. 29 is based on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. The guidance in Opinion No. 29, however, included certain exceptions to that principle. SFAS 153 amends Opinion No. 29 to eliminate the exception for nonmonetary assets exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. SFAS 153 is effective for fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005 and shall be applied prospectively.

The adoption of SFAS 153 has had no effect on the Company's balance sheet or results of operations.

Adoption of Recently Issued Accounting Standards (Continued)

SFAS 154 - Accounting Changes and Errors Corrections: In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, "Accounting Changes and Errors Corrections" ("SFAS 154"). SFAS 154 replaces APB Opinion No. 20, "Accounting Changes", and FASB Statement No. 3, "Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements", although it carries forward some of their provisions. SFAS 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods' financial statements of changes in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. A change in depreciation, amortization, or depletion method for long-lived, nonfinancial assets will be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate effected by a change in accounting principle. SFAS 154 is effective for changes in accounting principle made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005.

The adoption of SFAS 154 has had no effect on the Company's balance sheet or results of operations.

3. RESTATEMENT OF PRIOR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2006, for the period ended March 31, 2005, and for the period from inception (April 6, 2000) until March 31, 2006 have been restated to reflect additional expenses related to stock warrants issued to employees and non-employees during the above mentioned periods and compensation cost with respect to equity awards provided with new debt issuances and/or debt modification.

The following tables present the impact of the restatement on the Company's previously presented unaudited statements of operations for the three month periods ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and the period from inception (April 6, 2000) to March 31, 2006 and on the balance sheet as of March 31, 2006.

4. PROVISION FOR SEVERANCE PAY

Israeli law generally requires payment of severance pay upon dismissal of an employee or upon termination of employment in certain other circumstances. The following principal plans relate to the employees in Israel:

  • The liability in respect of certain of the company's employees is discharged in part by participating in a defined contribution pension plan and making regular deposits with recognized pension funds. The deposits are based on certain components of the salaries of the said employees. The custody and management of the amounts so deposited are independent of the company's control and accordingly such amounts funded (included in expenses on an accrual basis) and related liabilities are not reflected in the balance sheet.
  • Part of the liability is discharged by deposits made with severance pay funds.
  • The liability for severance pay is calculated on the basis of the latest salary paid to each employee multiplied by the number of years of employment. The liability is covered by the amounts deposited including accumulated income thereon as well as by the unfunded provision.
  • The expenses in respect of severance pay for the three month period ended March 31, 2006 and for the year ended December 31, 2005 and the period from April 6, 2000 to March 31, 2006 amounted to $2,134, $7,096, $43,908 respectively.
  • Withdrawals from the funds may be made only upon termination of employment.
  • As of March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the Company has a provision for severance pay of $51,359 and $48,318, respectively. As of March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 the Company has $7,451 and $6,544 respectively, deposited in funds managed by major Israeli banks which are earmarked to cover severance pay liability. Such deposits are not considered to be "plan assets" and are therefore included in other assets.

Contractual lives 0.56 - 3.17 years
Average grant date fair market value 0.68

*Restated (see Note 3)

The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods corresponding with the expected life of the options.

The expected life represents the weighted average period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The expected life of the options granted to employees and directors during the first quarter of 2006 is calculated based on the Simplified Method as allowed under Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (SAB 107), giving consideration to the contractual term of the options and their vesting schedules. The expected life of the option granted to non-employees equals their contractual term.

Due to the lack of sufficient history of the Company's own stock volatility, the Company estimates its own expected stock volatility based on the historic volatility for other oil exploration companies.

Private Placement Offerings

During 2000, John Brown purchased 2,400,000 shares at the then current par value ($0.001 per share) on his behalf and on behalf of 25 other founding shareholders.

2005 Stock Option Plan

During 2005, a stock option plan (the "Plan") was adopted by the Company, pursuant to which 1,000,000 shares of common stock are reserved for issuance to officers, directors, employees and consultants. The Plan will be administered by the Board of Directors or one or more committees appointed by the board (the "Administrator").

The Plan contemplates the issuance of stock options by the Company both as a private company and as a publicly traded company and will be available to residents of the United States, the State of Israel and other jurisdictions as determined by the administrator. The award of stock options under the Plan will be made pursuant to an agreement between the Company and each grantee. The agreement will, among other provisions, specify the number of shares subject to the option, intended tax qualifications, the exercise price, any vesting provisions and the term of the stock option grant, all of which shall be determined on behalf of the Company by the Administrator. The Plan will remain in effect for a term of ten years unless terminated or extended according to its provisions. As of the date of authorization of these financial statements no awards have been made under the Plan. See Note 9.

Other issuances

In respect of issuances to John Brown (related party) see Note 5.

8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Environmental Matters

The Company is engaged in oil and gas exploration and production and may become subject to certain liabilities as they relate to environmental cleanup of well sites or other environmental restoration procedures as they relate to the drilling of oil and gas wells in the operation thereof. Although environmental assessments are conducted on all purchased properties, in the Company's acquisition of existing or previously drilled well bores, the Company may not be aware of what environmental safeguards were taken at the time such wells were drilled or during such time the wells were operated.

Should it be determined that a liability exists with respect to any environmental clean up or restoration, the liability to cure such a violation could fall upon the Company. No claim has been made, nor is the Company aware of any contingent demands relating thereto. Liabilities for expenditures are recorded when environmental assessment and/or remediation is probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated.

8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED)

Royalty Commitments

The Company is obligated, according to the Israeli Petroleum Law, 5712-1952 (the "Petroleum Law"), to pay royalties to the Government of Israel on the gross production of oil and gas from the oil and gas properties of the Company located in Israel (except those reserves serving to operate the wells and related equipment and facilities). The royalty rate stated in the Petroleum Law is 12.5% of the produced reserves. At March 31, 2006, the Company did not have any outstanding obligation in respect to royalty payments, since it is at the "exploration stage" and, to this date, no proved reserves have been found.

Long Term Incentive Plan

The Company has initiated the establishment of a long-term management incentive plan for key employees whereby a 1.5% overriding royalty or equivalent interest in the Ma'anit-Joseph license and such other oil and gas exploration and development rights as may in the future be acquired by the Company shall be assigned to key employees.

Charitable Trusts

The Company has initiated the establishment of two charitable trusts based in Israel and in the United States for the purpose of supporting charitable projects and other charities in Israel and the United States. A 3% overriding royalty or equivalent interest in the Ma'anit-Joseph License and such other oil and gas exploration and development rights as may in the future be acquired by the Company shall be assigned to each charitable organization (6% overriding interest in the aggregate).

9. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Following the balance sheet date, the Company (i) raised $99,000 from the sale of 18,000 shares of common stock; (ii) issued 6,000 shares of common stock for $30,000 upon the exercise of E warrants; (iii) issued 200,000 shares of common stock to a trust company for the benefit of Richard Rinberg; (iv) borrowed $62,500 on one-year notes from five shareholders; (v) issued 30,000 shares of common stock for $90,000 upon exercise of C warrants; and (vi) on July 5, 2006, options were awarded under the 2005 Stock Option Plan as follows: (a) to two directors for the purchase of 50,000 shares of common stock at $5.00 per share through December 31, 2008 at a value of $58,647; (b) to one employee for the purchase of 80,000 shares of common stock at $5.00 per share through December 31, 2010 - these options will vest in three equal tranches of 26,667 shares each on January 1, 2007, on January 1, 2008 and on January 1, 2009 at a value of $193,600 that will be charged according to the vesting periods, and the options may not be exercised prior to July 1, 2007 (subject to deferral by the Company for a period of up to six months); and (c) to one employee for the purchase of 40,000 shares of common stock at $5.00 per share through December 31, 2010 - these options will vest in four equal tranches of four vesting periods of 10,000 shares each, on the grant date, on October 1, 2006, on October 1, 2007 and on October 1, 2008 at a value of $96,800 that will be charged according to the vesting periods, the options may not be exercised prior to July 1, 2007 (subject to deferral by the Company for a period of up to six months).

ITEM 2.        MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

Introduction

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our accompanying financial statements and the notes to those financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. The following discussion includes forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs and involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed below and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.

Overview

We are engaged in oil and natural gas exploration upon 219,000 acres of preliminary permit and exploration license areas in the State of Israel. During the six years between our formation and March 31, 2006, we have issued equity securities in the amount of $12,560,284 and have incurred total liabilities of $1,650,394 in order to operate our company and satisfy our work commitments under our agreements with the State of Israel. As of March 31, 2006, all of our officers and key employees have deferred the majority of their salaries and other compensation during this period. They have all exchanged portions of the deferred compensation from time to time for our equity securities, which (with four exceptions relating to employment stock options) have all been priced at the same price as the sales of our private equity capital.

On January 25, 2006, we filed a Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form SB-2 and have since filed five amendments to that Statement for the registration of 2,672,000 shares of our common stock. This Registration Statement has not yet been declared effective by the Commission.

Neither our common stock nor our warrants are listed or traded on any stock exchange or organized market, and there is therefore no market for them.

Going Concern Basis

Our unaudited interim financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2006 have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. Since Zion is in the development stage, we have limited capital resources, insignificant revenue, and a loss from operations. The appropriateness of using the going concern basis is dependent upon our ability to obtain additional financing or equity capital and, ultimately, to achieve profitable operations. The uncertainty of these conditions raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The unaudited financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Restatement of Prior Period Financial Statements

The financial statements for the periods ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 and for the period from inception (April 6, 2000) until March 31, 2006 and 2005 have been restated to reflect additional expenses related to stock warrants issued to employees and non-employees during the above mentioned periods and compensation cost with respect to equity awards provided with new debt issuances and/or debt modification.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Working capital (current assets minus current liabilities) was $470,398 and $499,094 at March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $376,260 and $2,400,691 for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, of which $368,320 in 2006 and $2,426,691 in 2005 was from the sale of equity securities, net of equity sales costs. The remainder was provided by loans (less repayments of loans). Net cash used in investing activities was $247,586 and $759,482 for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, virtually all of which was used for capitalized exploration costs on the license.

On March 31, 2006, we had cash and cash equivalents in the amount of $500,000 and accounts payable within the next 90 days of approximately $125,000 for a net of approximately $375,000. If we are not successful in raising approximately $3,250,000 of additional funds during the next year, we will not have sufficient liquidity to meet our cash requirements for the next year and may be forced to seek buyers for portions of our petroleum interests.

29


Results of Operations

We have no revenue generating operations as we are still an exploration stage company; however, drilling operations on the Ma'anit #1 commenced on April 10, 2005 and the rig was released seven months later. Almost all of our net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2006, comes from general and administrative expenses. Such expenses totaled $476,897, consisting of $142,101 for legal and professional costs, $233,836 for salaries, most of which is deferred compensation (a non-cash expense) of our directors, officers and key employees, and other costs in the amount of $100,960.

ITEM 3.        CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that Zion files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. As of the end of the quarterly period covered by this report, our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2006.

In June 2006, during the completion of the audit for 2005, our chief executive officer, our chief financial officer and our audit committee concluded that we needed to restate certain of our financial statements to correct errors in the application of accounting principles with respect to the accounting for equity instruments issued to employees and non-employees: (i) for services rendered and (ii) in consideration for debt issuances and modifications, for the period from inception (April, 2000) until December 31, 2005. As a result, we restated our previously audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004, our previously unaudited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005 and our unaudited financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 (both of which unaudited financial statements were filed in a Form SB-2/A dated May 24, 2006).

The restatements for 2004 and 2005 are described in more detail in Note 3 to the financial statements included in Form 10-KSB filed on September 14, 2006. The restatements for March 31, 2006 are described in more detail in Note 3 to the financial statements included in Item 1 of Part I above.

Controls over the application of accounting policies are within the scope of disclosure controls. Therefore, our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer have now concluded that there were material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting, as of March 31, 2006.

A material weakness in internal control over financial reporting is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. Our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer identified the following material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2006:

  • We did not have adequate financial personnel to identify and properly apply U.S. generally accepted accounting principles to equity instruments issued to employees and non-employees, and
  • We did not maintain effective policies and procedures governing the financial close and reporting process. This deficiency resulted in a lack of management oversight and review procedures over preparation of our financial statements

We believe that the material weaknesses related to the issues described above are in the process of being remedied as a result of procedures that have been implemented subsequent to March 31, 2006, including participation of our new full-time chief financial officer in the preparation of our audit work papers during the period April through June 2006.

In connection with the filing of this Form 10-QSB/A, our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer have re-evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2006. Because of the material weakness discussed above, our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer have now concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2006.

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2006.

ITEM 2.       CHANGES IN SECURITIES

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities (as of March 31, 2006)

1. Exercise of Outstanding Warrants. During the three months ended March 31, 2006, two of our shareholders exercised their rights under currently outstanding warrants to purchase 3,500 shares of common stock for cash consideration of $17,500. The sales of these securities were made in reliance upon Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, which provides exemptions for transactions not involving a public offering. All purchasers were existing stockholders of Zion and the shares purchased were purchased by way of warrants held by the stockholders that were acquired in the connection with their prior purchase or purchases of common stock. The certificates evidencing the securities purchased bear legends stating that the shares are not to be offered, sold or transferred other than pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration requirements.

2. Issuance of Common Stock and Warrants to U.S. Residents. On January 14, 2006, we sold 48,000 shares of our common stock and "G Warrants" to purchase 3,125 shares of common stock to nine investors for a total consideration of $264,000. Of the total consideration, $253,000 was paid in cash by eight investors and $11,000 was paid by a cancellation of outstanding indebtedness owed by us to one of the investors. The G Warrants are exercisable at $5.50 per share commencing July 1, 2007 (as may be extended for up to six months by Zion) through December 31, 2008. None of the G Warrants have been exercised. The sales of these securities were made in reliance upon Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, which provides exemptions for transactions not involving a public offering. We determined that the purchasers of securities described above were sophisticated investors who had the financial ability to assume the risk of their total investment, acquired them for their own account and not with a view to any distribution thereof to the public. The certificates evidencing all the securities above bear legends stating that the shares are not to be offered, sold or transferred other than pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration requirements.

3. Issuance of Common Stock and Warrants to Non-U.S. Residents. On January 14, 2006, we sold 20,000 shares of our common stock and G Warrants to purchase 4,000 shares of common stock to one investor for a total consideration of $110,000 in cash. The G Warrants are exercisable at $5.50 per share commencing July 1, 2007 (as may be extended forp to six months by Zion) through December 31, 2008. None of the G Warrants have been exercised. The sales of these securities were made in reliance upon Regulation S promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act, which provides an exemption for offers deemed to occur outside of the United States. The investor was a non-U.S. resident. We determined that the purchaser of securities described above was a sophisticated investor who had the financial ability to assume the risk of his total investment, acquired them for his own account and not with a view to any distribution thereof to the public. The certificates evidencing all the securities above bear legends stating that the shares are not to be offered, sold or transferred other than pursuant to Regulation S, an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, or an exemption from such registration requirements.

4. Stock for Services. On January 14, 2006, we issued 500 shares of common stock valued at $2,750 to our Israeli controller for accounting services rendered. The sales of these securities was made in reliance upon Regulation S promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act, which provides an exemption for offers deemed to occur outside of the United States. We determined that the purchaser of securities described above was a sophisticated non-U.S. resident who had the financial ability to assume the risk of his total investment, acquired them for his own account and not with a view to any distribution thereof to the public. The certificates evidencing all the securities above bear legends stating that the shares are not to be offered, sold or transferred other than pursuant to Regulation S, an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, or an exemption from such registration requirements.

ITEM 5.       OTHER INFORMATION.

Registration Statement for an Initial Public Offering

On January 26, 2006, Zion filed a registration statement on Form SB-2 with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for the offering and sale on a best efforts basis through Network 1 Financial Securities, Inc. ('Network 1") and other brokers dealers with which Network 1 (collectively, the "Network Group") of up to 2,000,000 shares of Zion's common stock ("Shares") for $7.00 per share. The registration statement has been subsequently amended five times and provides that, unless a minimum of 350,000 Shares are sold within 90 days of the effective date of the offering (which period may be extended subject to certain conditions for additional periods of up to 120 days), the offering will terminate. The Registration Statement includes 150,000 Shares to be gifted by executive officers of Zion and up to 521,200 Shares underlying certain outstanding warrants previously issued by Zion.

Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or Related Audit Reports

At the beginning of June 2006, it became apparent, pursuant to initial audit work on our 2005 financial statements by our independent accountants, KPMG-Somekh Chaikin, and their informing our previous independent accountants Lane Gorman Trubitt, L.L.P. who advised us accordingly, that we could not rely on our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004 and for the period from inception to that date or on our previously issued unaudited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005 and for the period ended March 31, 2006. We were informed that issues arose with respect to accounting for and disclosure of expenses related to stock warrants issued to employees and non-employees and compensation costs with respect to equity awards provided with new debt issuances and/or debt modifications. These issues were discussed by our chief executive officer, chief financial officer and chairman of our audit committee with our current and prior independent accountants. Following these discussions and a review of the issues raised by our management in consultation with our audit committee, our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2005 (previously unaudited) and 2004 and for the period from inception (April 6, 2000) until December 31, 2004, and our unaudited statements for the period ended March 31, 2006, have been restated because we determined that we had not correctly recorded at fair value equity instruments issued to employees and non-employees for services rendered and in consideration for debt issuances and modifications for the period from inception until December 31, 2005 or for the period from January 1 through March 31, 2006. The net effect of the restatement increases: (i) total assets as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, by $20,966 (0.23%) and $10,589 (0.55%); (ii) net loss for the period from inception (April 6, 2000) until December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, by $425,271 (9.65%) and $175,835 (5.77%); (iii) additional paid-in-capital as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, by $446,237 (3.87%) and $186,424 (5.04%); and (iv) total stockholders' equity as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, by $20,966 (0.29%) and $10,589 (0.15%). For the period ended March 31, 2006, the net effect of the restatement increases: (i) total assets as of March 31, 2006 by $12,526 (0.14%); (ii) net loss for the period from inception (April 6, 2000) until March 31, 2006 by $480,387 (9.93%); (iii) additional paid-in-capital as of March 31, 2006 by $492,913 (4.11%); and (iv) total stockholders' equity as of March 31, 2006 by $12,526 (0.17%).

Revision of First Quarter Financial Statements Filed in Form 10-QSB on September 14, 2006.

The financial statements included in Item 1 of Part I of our Form 10-QSB for the quarterly period ending March 31, 2006, (which was filed on September 14, 2006) contain certain minor errors in the Statements of Operations and Statements of Cash Flows for the comparative period ending March 31, 2005. As a result of the correcting these errors, the net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 was increased by $4,697 (1.97%). Corrections were made to Notes 2 (at Oil and Gas Properties), 3 (Restatement of Prior Financial Statements) and 6 (at Compensation Costs for Warrant and Options Issuance) of the Financial Statements to add information relating the comparative fiscal period in 2005 (including details of the restatement of the financial statements for the three months ending March 31, 2005). Disclosure was added to Note 6 about the intrinsic value of warrants and options exercised. Note 8 (Income Taxes) to the Financial Statements presented in the Quarterly Report filed on September 14, was deleted. We also deleted certain information not required in this form relating to Issued Accounting Standards.
