Item 8.01               Other Events.

 

On November 14, 2008, Cano Petroleum, Inc. (“Cano”) sold to Union Bank of California, N.A. (“UBOC”) its “floor price” financial commodity contracts covering the period of November 2008 through July 2010 for $2.6 million.  Cano will record a realized pre-tax gain of approximately $0.6 million and an unrealized gain of approximately $1.2 million based on the value of the contracts at September 30, 2008.  UBOC was the counter-party to these contracts and is the administrative agent for the Credit Agreement dated as of November 29, 2005.

 

As a result of the sale of these contracts and the previously disclosed sale of the “floor price” financial commodity contracts covering the period of July 2010 through December 2010 for $0.6 million, Cano has sold all of its commodity derivative positions other than derivatives that are listed as “costless collar” financial contracts as reported in Cano’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2008.

 

As of November 14, 2008, Cano maintained the following derivative contracts, all of which are “costless collars” with the oil prices being per barrel and the natural gas prices being per Mcf:
