Item 3.02 Unregistered Sale of Equity Securities

See Item 5.01 which is incorporated by reference herein. The Note (as defined in
Item 5.01) provides that, Samson Oil & Gas N.L., formerly Samson Exploration
N.L. ("Samson"), may elect to convert all or any portion of the unpaid principal
and interest owed under the Agreement and the Note into shares of the no par
value Common Stock of Kestrel Energy, Inc. (the "Company") at a conversion price
of $1.50 per share. The offer and sale of the Note and the underlying shares of
the Common Stock which may be issued pursuant to the Note were exempt from
registration under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") as a private offering
to an "accredited investor" under Sections 4(2) and 4(6) of the Act and Rules
505 and 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder.

Item 5.01 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant

On June 30, 2005, the Company entered into a Revolving Credit Loan Agreement
(the "Agreement") with Samson Oil & Gas N.L., the majority shareholder of the
Company. In connection with the Agreement, the Company issued a three year
Revolving Credit Master Note (the "Note") to Samson in the principal amount of
$3,500,000. Interest accrues on the principal balance from time to time
outstanding at the rate of 5.25% per annum. On the 15th day of each month that
there is an outstanding balance under the Note, the Company is required to make
monthly payment equal to the accrued interest on the Note as of that date. One
of the Company's directors, Neil T. MacLachlan, is also a director of Samson.
