(excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or has been a party to a
civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction
and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or

with respect to such laws.
________________________________________________________________________________
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
On September 13, 2010, UEA and Quadrant elected to exercise the put option
granted pursuant to the Securities Exchange Agreement the parties entered into,
upon which HKN, Inc. issued 454,392 shares of additional restricted common stock
to UEA and 89,358 shares of additional restricted common stock to Quadrant. On
April 12, 2011, Lyford, UEA and Quadrant participated in a rights offering, upon
which HKN, Inc. allocated 3,390,679 shares of common stock to Lyford, 1,282,180
shares of common stock to UEA And 95,129 shares of common stock to Quadrant. On
June 3, 2011, HKN elected to purchase units pursuant to the Securities Exchange
Agreement the parties entered into, upon which HKN, Inc. issued 1,245,373 shares
of additional restricted common stock to Quadrant.
________________________________________________________________________________
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
The Reporting Persons acquired the shares of Common Stock of the Issuer for
general investment purposes. The Reporting Persons will continuously evaluate
their ownership of Common Stock and the Issuer's business and industry.
Depending on market conditions and other factors that the Reporting Persons may
deem material to their investment decision, including the availability of other
investment opportunities, each Reporting Person may from time to time acquire
additional shares of Common Stock that such Reporting Person now owns or may
hereafter acquire.
Page 9
Without limitation of the foregoing (and consistent with their investment
purpose), the Reporting Persons will continue to consider alternative courses of
action and will in the future take such actions with respect to their investment
in the Issuer as they deem appropriate in light of the circumstances existing
from time to time. Such actions, in addition to that discussed above, may
include making recommendations to members of management concerning various
business strategies, acquisitions, policies, seeking to acquire control of the
Issuer through a merger, proxy solicitation, tender offer, significant equity
investment, exchange offer or otherwise, or such other actions as the Reporting
Persons may deem appropriate.
________________________________________________________________________________
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
(a) The Reporting Persons may be deemed to be a group according to the
rules under the Act, and as such a group, may be deemed to beneficially own an
aggregate of 10,492,081 shares of Common Stock as of June 24, 2011, which was
approx. 55.89% of the outstanding Common Stock on such date (all computations of
the percentage of Common Stock as reported in the Issuer's latest 10-Q
statement, as filed with the Securities and Exchange COmmission). As of June 24,
2011, each Reporting Person beneficially owns the following number of shares of
Common Stock:
Name of Filing Person Shares Percent of
Beneficially Owned Outstanding
AEF Finance Ltd. 6,575,649 35.0%
Lyford Investments Enterprises Ltd. 6,575,649 35.0%
UniPureEnergy Acquisition Ltd. 2,486,572 13.2%

Brean Murray Carret Group Inc. 10,492,081 55.9%
Phyllis Quasha 10,492,081 55.9%
(b) Brean is deemed to have the power to vote or to direct the vote of, and
to dispose or direct the disposition of, the Common Stock beneficially owned by
UEA, Lyford, AEF and Quadrant. Because of her relationship to Lyford, AEF, UEA &
Quadrant as identified in Item 2 above, Quasha shares voting and dispositive
power with regard to the Common Stock owned by UEA and Quadrant and, therefore,
may be deemed to have indirect beneficial ownership of the Common Stock owned by
UEA, Lyford, AEF and Quadrant.
(c) The following transactions were effective by the identified parties
during the sixty days preceding the date of filing of this Schedule 13d:

executive officers or directors of the Reporting Persons, has any contracts,
arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) with any
person with respect to any securities of the Issuer, including but not limited
to, transfer or voting of any of the securities of the Issuer, finder's fees,
joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of
profits, division of profits or loss, or the giving or withholding of proxies,
