The Reverse Split resulted in a decrease in the Company’s authorized share capital from 2,000,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, to 36,363,637 shares of common stock, par value, $0.001 per share, with a corresponding decrease in the number of issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock from 135,933,086 shares to 2,471,544 shares (after accounting for fractional share interests being rounded up to the next whole number). Completion of the Reverse Split was a condition precedent for the merger with Pure Gas Partners II, L.P. (“Pure”).
Effective January 3, 2011, the Company completed the acquisition of Pure Energy Group, Inc. (“Pure Sub”) as contemplated pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated December 2, 2010 (the “Pure Merger Agreement”) among the Company, Doral Acquisition Corp., the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary (“Doral Sub”), Pure Gas Partners II, L.P. (“Pure”) and Pure Sub, a wholly owned subsidiary of Pure (Pure Sub and Pure being collectively referred to herein as the “Pure Energy Group”).
Pursuant to the provisions of the Pure Merger Agreement, all of Pure’s oil and gas assets and liabilities were transferred to Pure Sub. Pure Sub was then merged with and into Doral Sub, with Doral Sub continuing as the surviving corporation (the “Pure Merger”). Upon completion of the Pure Merger (“Merger”), the outstanding shares of Pure Sub were converted into an aggregate of 9,981,536 shares of the Company’s common stock. As a result of the Pure Merger, the previous Pure shareholders own approximately 80% of the Company’s total outstanding shares on a fully diluted basis, with the Company’s previous stockholders owning the remaining 20%.
The purchase price of the assets of the Company arising from the reverse acquisition with the Pure Energy Group was $8,085,984, representing eighty percent (80%) of the appraised value of 2,471,511 post-split shares of the Company which were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the reverse acquisition. The allocation of the purchase price and the purchase price accounting is based upon preliminary estimates of the assets and liabilities effectively acquired on January 3, 2011 in accordance with ASC topic 805, Business Combinations.
The allocation of the purchase price is estimated as follows:

Basis for Presentation
The unaudited condensed balance sheet as of March 31, 2011 and the unaudited condensed statements of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2011 include the accounts of the predecessor company Pure for the period of January 1, 2011 to January 3, 2011 and the accounts of Pure and the Company for the period January 4, 2011 (date of reverse acquisition as discussed below) to March 31, 2011 (collectively, “Cross Border Resources, Inc.” or the “Company”). The comparative consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2010 and the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2010 represent the accounts of Pure only. The consolidation effected by the business combination has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition wherein Pure is treated as the acquirer for accounting purposes.
Interim financial statements
The unaudited financial information furnished herein reflects all adjustments, which in the opinion of management are necessary to fairly state the Company’s financial position and the results of its operations for the periods presented. This report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements and notes thereto included in the Pure audited financial statements for the fiscal period ended December 31, 2010 as filed on Form 8-K/A on April 7, 2011. The Company assumes that the users of the interim financial information herein have read or have access to the audited financial statements for the preceding fiscal year and that the adequacy of additional disclosure needed for a fair presentation may be determined in that context. Accordingly, footnote disclosure, which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in Pure Gas Partners LP’s audited financial statements for the fiscal period ended December 31, 2010 has been omitted. The results of operations for the three months period ended March 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year ending December 31, 2011.
Prior Period Correction of an Error
In the Company’s 2010 financial statements, the Company recorded goodwill in connection with the 2005 acquisition of Pure Energy Group, Inc. During 2011, the Company re-evaluated its obligations with respect to its initial accounting for the transaction and determined that consideration paid in excess of the fair market value of the assets and liabilities transferred should have been allocated to the acquired oil and gas properties and subsequently tested for impairment. As a result, the Company retroactively stated its oil and gas properties as of December 31, 2010 to reflect the allocation of goodwill. In addition, the Company did not consider the need to impair the value of its acquired oil and gas properties based on the future cash flows of the assets. The correction of this error reduced March 31, 2010 net income by approximately $80,165 and $320,660 was adjusted to beginning retained earnings as of January 1, 2010. The tax effect of this transaction was determined to be immaterial to the overall financial statements.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Oil and Gas Properties
The Company uses the successful efforts method of accounting for oil and gas producing activities. Costs to acquire mineral interests in oil and gas properties, to drill and equip exploratory wells that find proved reserves, to drill and equip development wells and related asset retirement costs are capitalized. Costs to drill exploratory wells that do not find proved reserves, geological and geophysical costs, and costs of carrying and retaining unproved properties are expensed.
Unproved oil and gas properties that are individually significant are periodically assessed for impairment of value, and a loss is recognized at the time of impairment by providing an impairment allowance. Capitalized costs of producing oil and gas properties, after considering estimated residual salvage values, are depreciated and depleted by the unit-of-production method.
On the sale or retirement of a complete unit of a proved property, the cost, and related accumulated depreciation, depletion, and amortization are eliminated from the property accounts, and the resultant gain or loss is recognized. On the retirement or sale of a partial unit of proved property, the cost is charged to accumulated depreciation, depletion, and amortization with a resulting gain or loss recognized in income.
On the sale of an entire interest in an unproved property for cash or cash equivalent, gain or loss on the sale is recognized, taking into consideration the amount of any recorded impairment if the property had been assessed individually. If a partial interest in an unproved property is sold, the amount received is treated as a reduction of the cost of the interest retained.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable - Production
Accounts receivable consist of amounts due from customers for oil and gas sales and are considered fully collectible by the Company as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010. The Company determines when receivables are past due based on how recently payments have been received.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes oil and natural gas revenue from its interests in producing wells when oil and natural gas is produced and sold from those wells.
Property and Equipment
Property, plant, and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation of office furniture and equipment is provided using the straight-line method and the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS) based on estimated useful lives ranging from three to 15 years. These methods do not materially differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Depreciation expense was $9,479 and $7,465 for the periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Asset Retirement Obligations
The Company accounts for asset retirement obligations under the provisions of ASC 410, Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations, which provides for an asset and liability approach to accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations (ARO). Under this method, when legal obligations for dismantlement and abandonment costs, excluding salvage values, are incurred, a liability is recorded at fair value and the carrying amount of the related oil and gas properties is increased. Accretion of liability is recognized each period using the interest method of allocation and the capitalized cost is depleted over the useful life of the related asset. Asset retirement obligations as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were $1,165,503 and $508,588, respectively.
The following is a description of the changes to the Company’s asset retirement obligations for the years ended March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010:

Income Taxes
The Company is a taxable entity for federal or state income tax purposes for which an income tax provision has been made in the accompanying financial statements. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Differences between the enacted tax rates and the effective tax rates are primarily the result of timing differences in the recognition of depletion and accretion expenses. These differences do not create a material variance between the enacted tax rate and the effective tax rate.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions. Significant estimates include volumes of oil and gas reserves used in calculating depletion of proved oil and natural gas properties and costs to abandon oil and gas properties.
Management believes that it is reasonably possible the following material estimates affecting the financial statements could significantly change in the coming year: (1) estimates of proved oil and gas reserves, and (2) forecast forward price curves for natural gas and crude oil. The oil and gas industry in the United States has historically experienced substantial commodity price volatility, and such volatility is expected to continue in the future. Commodity prices affect the level of reserves that are considered commercially recoverable; significantly influence the Company’s current and future expected cash flows; and impact the PV10 derivation of proved reserves.
The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, receivables, payables, and debt and are accounted for under the provisions of ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments. The carrying amount of these financial instruments as reflected in the balance sheets, except for long-term, fixed-rate debt, approximates fair value. The Company estimates the fair value of its long-term, fixed-rate debt generally using discounted cash flow analysis based on the Company's current borrowing rates for similar types of debt.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by FASB that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. If not discussed, management believes that the impact of recently issued standards, which are not yet effective, will not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements upon adoption.
NOTE 3– RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company paid $58,000 and $39,000 in consulting fees in March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively to BDR Consulting, Inc.

(Aztec), whereby Aztec agreed to fund 100% of costs through completion on certain wells to be drilled in two counties in New Mexico. Certain partners in Aztec are also indirect limited partners and members of the Board of Directors of the Company and its subsidiaries. On certain wells, the Company owns a working interest. On those wells, Aztec will receive working interest and net revenue interest. During the period ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company paid Aztec $37,179 and $250,875, for Aztec’s share of well income, net of related well costs, based on production.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q constitute “forward-looking statements.” These statements, identified by words such as “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “should,” “expect” and similar expressions include our expectations and objectives regarding our future financial position, operating results and business strategy. These statements reflect the current views of management with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements, or industry results, to be materially different from those described in the forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include those set forth under the caption “Part II – Item 1A. Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. We do not intend to update the forward-looking information to reflect actual results or changes in the factors affecting such forward-looking information. We advise you to carefully review the reports and documents, particularly our Annual Reports, our Quarterly Reports and our Current Reports we file from time to time with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Copies of all of our filings with the SEC may be accessed by visiting the SEC site (http://www.sec.gov) and performing a search of our electronic filings.
REVERSE SPLIT OF COMMON STOCK AND MERGER WITH PURE GAS PARTNERS II, L.P.
The following summary is qualified in its entirety by the more thorough descriptions of the reverse split and merger in the previously-filed Forms 8-K and the merger documents attached to those filings.
Effective December 27, 2010, the Company completed a 1-for-55 reverse split of its common stock in accordance with Article 78.207 of the Nevada Revised Statutes (the “Reverse Split”). The Reverse Split resulted in a decrease in the Company’s authorized share capital from 2,000,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, to 36,363,637 shares of common stock, par value, $0.001 per share, with a corresponding decrease in the number of issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock from 135,933,086 shares to 2,471,544 shares (after accounting for fractional share interests being rounded up to the next whole number). Completion of the Reverse Split was a condition precedent for the merger with Pure Gas Partners II, L.P. (“Pure”).
Effective January 3, 2011, we completed the acquisition of Pure Energy Group, Inc. (“Pure Sub”) as contemplated pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated December 2, 2010 (the “Pure Merger Agreement”) among the Company, Doral Acquisition Corp., the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary (“Doral Sub”), Pure Gas Partners II, L.P. (“Pure”) and Pure Sub, a wholly owned subsidiary of Pure L.P. (Pure Sub and Pure L.P. being collectively referred to herein as the “Pure Energy Group”).
Pursuant to the provisions of the Pure Merger Agreement, all of Pure L.P.’s oil and gas assets and liabilities were transferred to Pure Sub. Pure Sub was then merged with and into Doral Sub, with Doral Sub continuing as the surviving corporation (the “Pure Merger”). Upon completion of the Pure Merger “Merger”, the outstanding shares of Pure Sub were converted into an aggregate of 9,981,536 shares of the Company’s common stock. As a result of the Pure Merger, Pure L.P. owns approximately 80% of the Company’s total outstanding shares on a fully diluted basis, with the Company’s previous stockholders owning the remaining 20%.
Upon closing of the Merger, Lawrence J. Risley, Richard F. LaRoche Jr. and John Hawkins were appointed to the Company’s Board of Directors as nominees of the Pure Energy Group. Mr. Risley was also appointed as the Company’s President and Chief Operating Officer and P. Mark Stark was appointed as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer. Everett Willard Gray, II continues to act as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors. Brad E. Heidelberg continues to serve on the Company’s Board of Directors.
Effective January 4, 2011, following closing of the Merger, Doral Sub was merged with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation. Upon completing the merger of Doral Sub with and into the Company, the Company changed its name to “Cross Border Resources, Inc.”
BUSINESS OVERVIEW
Cross Border Resources, Inc. is an oil and gas exploration company resulting from the business combination of Doral Energy Corp and Pure Energy, effective January 3, 2011. Cross Border Resources, Inc. will consist of over 800,000 gross (approximately 270,000 net) mineral and lease acres within the state of New Mexico. Over 31,000 of these net acres exist within the prolific Permian Basin. Unlike most E&P organizations, 99% of our acreage consists of either owned mineral rights or leases held by production.
Current development of Cross Border Resources Inc.’s acreage is focused on our prospective Bone Spring acreage located in the heart of the 1st and 2nd Bone Spring play. This play encompasses approximately 4,390 square miles across both New Mexico and Texas. Cross Border currently owns varying, non-operated working interest in both Eddy and Lea Counties, New Mexico, along with our working interest partners that include Cimarex, Apache, and Mewbourne, all having significant footprints within this play.
Additional development is currently underway on our Abo, Yeso, and San Andres acreage with our other working interest partners, Concho Resources and Cimarex. Cross Border Resources, Inc. currently has a drilling inventory across these formations with varying non-operated working interests ranging from 3%-90%.
The company’s management team has worked diligently to provide Cross Border Resources, Inc. shareholders a platform to capitalize on the current Bone Spring trend and will seek additional non-operated opportunities within the Permian Basin that will produce accretive value to shareholders. Ultimately, Cross Border Resources, Inc. will seek to become the premier non-operated working interest owner in the various emerging plays within the Permian Basin, in addition to participating in more conventional plays to provide a balanced oil and gas portfolio to shareholders.

Revenues
We recognized $1,671,577 in revenues from sales of oil and natural gas for the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to $1,010,733 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. This increase in revenue is due primarily to a combination of increased production from wells added period over period and increased production brought on through the Merger. In addition, prices for the oil and natural gas sold period over period increased. We report our revenues on wells in which we have a working interest based on information received from operators. The recognition of revenues in this manner is in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Operating Expenses
Our operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, consisted of the following:

We recognized $873,146 in general and administrative expense for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $228,899 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. This increase resulted from $30,492 of share-based compensation for the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. In addition we incurred approximately 255,000 of non -recurring expenses associated with the Merger (see below).
Non-recurring Expense
As a result of the merger the Company incurred approximately $255,000 in non-recurring expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2011. Approximately, $100,000 was incurred in additional legal, accounting and professional fees. In addition, approximately $155,000 was incurred in transaction related fees and expenses. Management does not expect similar items to occur in the future quarters.
Price Risk Management Activities
During the three months ended March 31, 2011, we recognized a gain of $30,266 which includes realized hedge settlements received for the difference between the hedged price and the market price. On March 23, 2011, we entered in to fixed price swap for 1,000 barrels of oil per month at a price of $104.55 NYMEX-WTI through February 28, 2013.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA
In addition to reporting net earnings (loss) as defined under GAAP, Cross Border also presents net earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, depletion, and amortization (adjusted EBITDA), which is a non-GAAP performance measure. Adjusted EBITDA consists of net earnings after adjustment for those items described in the table below. Adjusted EBITDA does not represent, and should not be considered an alternative to GAAP measurements, such as net earnings (loss) (its most comparable GAAP financial measure), and Cross Border’s calculations thereof may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. By eliminating the items described below, Cross Border believes the measure is useful in evaluating its fundamental core operating performance. Cross Border also believes that adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors because similar measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in their evaluation of companies in similar industries. Cross Border’s management uses adjusted EBITDA to manage its business, including in preparing its annual operating budget and financial projections. Cross Border’s management does not view adjusted EBITDA in isolation and also uses other measurements, such as net earnings (loss) and revenues to measure operating performance. The following table provides a reconciliation of net earnings (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP measure, to adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented:

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Upon completion of the Merger and the merger of Doral Sub into the Company, in addition to acquiring all of the rights, properties and assets of Pure Sub, the Company assumed all of the debts, liabilities and obligations of Pure Sub, including the rights and obligations of Pure Sub under the 7 ½ % Debentures, Series 2005 (the “Pure Debentures”) issued by Pure Energy Group in March 2005. The Pure Debentures are described more fully in the Company’s Form 8-K filed January 7, 2011. These debentures require payments of principal and interest on March 1 and September 1 of each year. Scheduled principal retirements over the next twelve months amount to $360,000 on September 1, 2011 and $360,000 due on March 1, 2012.

As of March 31, 2011, we had a working deficit of $635,307. Liquidity is a measure of ability to access cash. Our primary needs for cash are for exploration, exploitation, development and acquisition of oil and gas properties, repayment of contractual obligations and working capital funding. We have historically addressed our long-term liquidity requirements through cash provided by operating activities, the issuance of debt and equity securities when market conditions permit, sale of non-strategic assets, and through our credit facilities. The prices for future oil and natural gas production and the level of production have significant impacts on operating cash flows and cannot be predicted with any degree of certainty. We continue to examine alternative sources of long-term capital, including bank borrowings, the issuance of debt instruments, the sale of equity securities, the sales of strategic and non-strategic assets, and joint-venture financing. Availability of these sources of capital and, therefore, our ability to execute our operating strategy will depend upon a number of factors, some of which are beyond our control.
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with Texas Capital Bank
On January 31, 2011, we entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Texas Capital Bank, N.A. (“TCB”). The Credit Agreement provides the Company with an initial borrowing base of US $4,000,000. Provided that the trustee for the Company’s Pure Debentures consents, the amount available under the Credit Agreement may be increased by TCB up to $25,000,000 based on the Company’s reserve reports and the value of the Company’s oil and gas properties. If the trustee for the Pure Debentures does not consent, the maximum allowed under the Indenture for the Pure Debentures will be limited to US $5,000,000. As of March 31, 2011, the Company has available to it $1,205,074 under the credit facility with TCB. The Credit Agreement is described more fully in and is attached as an exhibit to the Company’s Form 8-K dated February 7, 2011.
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
Little Bay and Green Shoe
As of March 31, 2011, we were indebted to Little Bay Consulting SA (“Little Bay”) and Green Shoe Investments Ltd. (“Green Shoe”) in the amounts of $595,423.47 and $550,935.91 respectively for loans refinanced in fiscal 2011. Those loans were extended effective March 31, 2011, until September 30, 2012, with no periodic payments until maturity (other than upon an equity raise resulting in net proceeds of more than $1,000,000), as described more fully in the Company’s 8-K filed April 28, 2011.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenue or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to our stockholders.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in the United States has required our management to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements, including the notes thereto, and related disclosures of commitments and contingencies, if any. Our significant accounting policies are disclosed in the notes to the interim financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2011 included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
The consolidated financial statements presented with this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for interim financial information. These financial statements do not include all information and footnote disclosures required for an annual set of financial statements prepared under United States generally accepted accounting principles. In the opinion of our management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows as October 31, 2010, and for all periods presented in the attached financial statements, have been included. Interim results for the period ended March 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year as a whole.
Our significant accounting policies are disclosed at Note 2 to the unaudited financial statements included with this Quarterly Report.
The merger and acquisition of Pure Sub has been treated as a “reverse acquisition” for financial reporting and accounting purposes. As a result, it is expected that Pure Sub will be treated as the “accounting acquirer” for financial reporting and accounting purposes. As such, effective January 6, 2011, the Company engaged Darilek, Butler & Associates PLLC (“Darilek, Butler”), the principal independent accountants for the Pure Energy Group, as the Company’s principal independent accountants, and dismissed MaloneBailey, LLP (“MaloneBailey”) as the Company’s principal independent accountants. The engagement of Darilek, Butler and the dismissal of MaloneBailey was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors. The engagement of Darilek, Butler and the dismissal of MaloneBailey are more fully described in the Company’s Form 8-K dated January 3, 2011.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
Not Applicable.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. It should be noted that the design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, President and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer, President and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act were reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Prior to the Pure Merger, the Company had been using an outside accounting service to prepare financial statements. In the last quarter of 2010, the Company hired P. Mark Stark as an accounting consultant. Effective January 2011, Mr. Stark was appointed as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and assumed responsibility for preparation of the financial statements. The Company believes it has improved internal controls by employing a separate Chief Financial Officer, but management has identified and is working with its independent audit committee to put in place additional internal controls to improve its internal control over financial reporting for the second quarter. The additional controls will include but not be limited to controls over GAAP reporting to ensure compliance with GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
None.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
The following are some of the important factors that could affect our financial performance or could cause actual results to differ materially from estimates contained in our forward-looking statements. We may encounter risks in addition to those described below. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us, or that we currently deem to be immaterial, may also impair or adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operation.
We have an operating deficit.
Currently, our operations are not profitable. Doral Energy Corp. (prior to the merger) incurred losses since inception. We may never be able to achieve profitability.
Our future performance depends upon our ability to obtain capital to find or acquire additional oil and natural gas reserves that are economically recoverable.
Unless we successfully replace the reserves that we produce, our reserves will decline, resulting eventually in a decrease in oil and natural gas production and lower revenues and cash flows from operations. The business of exploring for, developing or acquiring reserves is capital intensive. Our ability to make the necessary capital investment to maintain or expand our oil and natural gas reserves is limited by our relatively small size. Further, we may commence drilling operations on our properties and any other properties that we acquire in an effort to increase production, which would require more capital than we have available from cash flow from operations or our existing debt facilities. In such case, we would be required to seek additional sources of financing or limit our participation in the additional drilling. In addition, our drilling activities are subject to numerous risks, including the risk that no commercially productive oil or gas reserves will be encountered.
The successful implementation of our business plan is subject to risks inherent in the oil and gas business, which if not adequately managed could result in additional losses.
Our oil and gas operations will be subject to the economic risks typically associated with exploitation and development activities, including the necessity of making significant expenditures to locate and acquire properties and to drill development wells. In addition, the availability of drilling rigs and the cost and timing of drilling, completing and, if warranted, operating wells is often uncertain. In conducting exploitation and development activities, the presence of unanticipated formation pressure or irregularities in formations, miscalculations or accidents may cause our exploitation, development and, if warranted, production activities to be unsuccessful. This could result in a total loss of our investment in a particular well. If exploitation and development efforts are unsuccessful in establishing proved reserves and development activities cease, the amounts accumulated as unproved costs will be charged against earnings as impairments.
In addition, the availability of a ready market for our oil and gas production depends on a number of factors, including the demand for and supply of oil and gas and the proximity of reserves to pipelines and other facilities. Our ability to market such production depends in substantial part on the availability and capacity of gathering systems, pipelines and processing facilities, in most cases owned and operated by third parties. A failure to obtain such services on acceptable terms could materially harm our proposed oil and gas business. We may be required to shut in wells for lack of a market or because of inadequacy or unavailability of pipelines or gathering system capacity. If that occurs, we would be unable to realize revenue from those wells until arrangements are made to deliver such production to market.
Our future performance is dependent upon our ability to identify, acquire and develop oil and gas properties, the failure of which could result in under use of capital and losses.
The future performance of our oil and gas business will depend upon an ability to identify, acquire and develop oil and gas reserves that are economically recoverable. Success will depend upon the ability to acquire working and net revenue interests in properties upon which oil and gas reserves are ultimately discovered in commercial quantities, and the ability to develop prospects that contain proven oil and gas reserves to the point of production. Without successful acquisition, exploitation, and development activities, we will not be able to develop oil and gas reserves or generate revenues. There are no assurances oil and gas reserves will be identified or acquired on acceptable terms, or that oil and gas deposits will be discovered in sufficient quantities to enable us to recover our exploitation and development costs or sustain our business.
The successful acquisition and development of oil and gas properties requires an assessment of recoverable reserves, future oil and gas prices and operating costs, potential environmental and other liabilities, and other factors. Such assessments are necessarily inexact and their accuracy inherently uncertain. In addition, no assurances can be given that our exploitation and development activities will result in the discovery of any reserves. Operations may be curtailed, delayed or canceled as a result of lack of adequate capital and other factors, such as lack of availability of rigs and other equipment, title problems, weather, compliance with governmental regulations or price controls, mechanical difficulties, or unusual or unexpected formation pressures, and or work interruptions. In addition, the costs of exploitation and development may materially exceed our initial estimates.
The oil and gas exploration and production industry historically is a cyclical industry and market fluctuations in the prices of oil and gas could adversely affect our business.
Prices for oil and gas tend to fluctuate significantly in response to factors beyond our control. These factors include, but are not limited to:
(a)
|
weather conditions in the United States and elsewhere;
|
(b)
|
economic conditions, including demand for petroleum-based products, in the United States and elsewhere;
|

Changes in commodity prices may significantly affect our capital resources, liquidity and expected operating results. Price changes will directly affect revenues and can indirectly impact expected production by changing the amount of funds available to reinvest in exploration and development activities. Reductions in oil and gas prices not only reduce revenues and profits, but could also reduce the quantities of reserves that are commercially recoverable. Significant declines in prices could result in non-cash charges to earnings due to impairment. Changes in commodity prices may also significantly affect our ability to estimate the value of producing properties for acquisition and divestiture and often cause disruption in the market for oil and gas producing properties, as buyers and sellers have difficulty agreeing on the value of the properties. Price volatility also makes it difficult to budget for and project the return on acquisitions and the development and exploitation of projects. Commodity prices are expected to continue to fluctuate significantly in the future.
Hedging transactions may limit potential gains on increases to oil and gas prices.
From time to time, the Company may enter into hedging transactions. If we do enter into hedging transactions, they will likely be for a portion of our expected production for the purpose of reducing the risk of fluctuations in oil and gas prices. Although these hedging transactions would be expected to provide us with some protection in the event of a decrease in oil and gas prices, they would also be expected to limit our potential gains in the event that oil and gas prices increase. If we choose not to engage in hedging arrangements in the future, we may be more adversely affected by changes in oil and natural gas prices than our competitors, who may or may not engage in hedging arrangements.
We may encounter difficulty in obtaining equipment and services.
Higher oil and natural gas prices and increased oil and natural gas drilling activity generally stimulate increased demand and result in increased prices and unavailability for drilling rigs, crews, associated supplies, equipment and services. While we have recently been successful in acquiring or contracting for services, we could experience difficulty obtaining drilling rigs, crews, associated supplies, equipment and services in the future. These shortages could also result in increased costs or delays in timing of anticipated development or cause interests in oil and natural gas leases to lapse. We cannot be certain that we will be able to implement our drilling plans or at costs that will be as estimated or acceptable to us.
Our ability to produce oil and gas from our oil and gas assets may be adversely affected by a number of factors outside of our control.
The business of exploring for and producing oil and gas involves a substantial risk of investment loss. Drilling oil and gas wells involves the risk that the wells may be unproductive or that, although productive, the wells may not produce oil or gas in economic quantities. Other hazards, such as unusual or unexpected geological formation pressures, fires, blowouts, loss of circulation of drilling fluids or other conditions may substantially delay or prevent completion of any well. Adverse weather conditions can also hinder drilling operations. A productive well may become uneconomic if excessive water or other deleterious substances are encountered that impair or prevent the production of oil or gas from the well. In addition, production from any well may be unmarketable if it is contaminated with water or other deleterious substances. There can be no assurance that oil and gas will be produced from the properties in which we have interests. In addition, the marketability of oil and gas that may be acquired or discovered may be influenced by numerous factors beyond our control. These factors include the proximity and capacity of oil and gas, gathering systems, pipelines and processing equipment, market fluctuations in oil and natural gas prices, taxes, royalties, land lease tenure, allowable production volumes, and environmental protection regulations.
If we are unable to maintain our working interests in leases, our business will be adversely affected.
Our oil and gas assets are held under oil and gas leases. A failure to meet the specific requirements of each lease may cause that lease to terminate or expire. There are no assurances the obligations required to maintain those leases will be met and that we will be able to meet the rental obligations under federal, state and private oil and gas leases. If we are unable to make rental payments and satisfy any other conditions on a timely basis, we may lose our rights in the properties that we may acquire.
Title deficiencies could render our leases worthless.
The existence of a material title deficiency can render a lease worthless and can result in a large expense to our business. In acquiring oil and gas leases or undivided interests in oil and gas leases we may forgo the expense of retaining lawyers to examine the title to the oil or gas interest to be placed under lease or already placed under lease. Instead, we may rely upon the judgment of oil and gas landmen who perform the field work in examining records in the appropriate governmental office before attempting to place under lease specific oil or gas interest. This is customary practice in the oil and gas industry. As a result, we may be unaware of deficiencies in the marketability of the title to the lease. Such deficiencies could render the lease worthless.
If we fail to maintain adequate operating insurance, our business could be materially and adversely affected.
Our oil and gas operations are subject to risks inherent in the oil and gas industry, such as blowouts, cratering, explosions, uncontrollable flows of oil, gas or well fluids, fires, pollution, earthquakes and other environmental risks. These risks could result in substantial losses due to injury and loss of life, severe damage to and destruction of property and equipment, pollution and other environmental damage, and suspension of operations. We could be liable for environmental damages caused by previous property owners. As a result, substantial liabilities to third parties or governmental entities may be incurred, the payment of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Any prospective drilling contractor or operator which we hire will be required to maintain insurance of various types to cover its operations with policy limits and retention liability customary in the industry. We maintain well control, re-drill, environmental cleanup, and liability insurance on all of our field production and future drilling operations. However, the occurrence of a significant adverse event on such prospects that would happen to be not fully covered by insurance could result in the loss of all or part of our investment in a particular prospect which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Complying with environmental and other government regulations could be costly and could negatively impact prospective production.
The oil and gas business is governed by numerous laws and regulations at various levels of government. These laws and regulations govern the operation and maintenance of our facilities, the discharge of materials into the environment and other environmental protection issues. Such laws and regulations may, among other potential consequences, require that we acquire permits before commencing drilling and restrict the substances that can be released into the environment with drilling and production activities. Under these laws and regulations, we could be liable for personal injury, clean-up costs and other environmental and property damages, as well as administrative, civil and criminal penalties. Prior to commencement of drilling operations, we may secure limited insurance coverage for sudden and accidental environmental damages as well as environmental damage that occurs over time. However, we do not believe that insurance coverage for the full potential liability of environmental damages is available at a reasonable cost. Accordingly, we could be liable, or could be required to cease production on properties, if environmental damage occurs.
The costs of complying with environmental laws and regulations in the future may harm our business. Furthermore, future changes in environmental laws and regulations could occur, resulting in stricter standards and enforcement, larger fines and liability, and increased capital expenditures and operating costs, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
The oil and gas industry is highly competitive, and we may not have sufficient resources to compete effectively.
The oil and gas industry is highly competitive. We will be competing with oil and natural gas companies and other individual producers and operators, many of which have longer operating histories and substantially greater financial and other resources than it does, as well as companies in other industries supplying energy, fuel and other needs to consumers. Larger competitors, by reason of their size and relative financial strength, can more easily access capital markets than we can and may enjoy a competitive advantage in the recruitment of qualified personnel. They may be able to absorb the burden of any changes in laws and regulation in the jurisdictions in which we do business and handle longer periods of reduced prices for oil and gas more easily than we can. Competitors may be able to pay more for oil and gas leases and properties and may be able to define, evaluate, bid for and purchase a greater number of leases and properties than we can. Further, these companies may enjoy technological advantages and may be able to implement new technologies more rapidly than we can. Our ability to acquire oil and gas properties will depend upon its ability to conduct efficient operations, evaluate and select suitable properties, implement advanced technologies and consummate transactions in a highly competitive environment.
The loss of our key persons, or our failure to attract and retain additional personnel could adversely affect our business.
Because we are a small company, our success depends greatly upon the efforts, abilities, and decision-making of our three executive officers, Everett Willard Gray, II, Lawrence J. Risley and P. Mark Stark. The loss of any of these persons would have an adverse effect on our business prospects. We do not currently maintain "key-man" life insurance. In the event that we should lose our officers and we are unable to find suitable replacements, we may not be able to develop our business, in which case investors might lose all of their investment.
If we issue additional shares of common stock in the future this may result in dilution to our existing stockholders.
Our articles of incorporation authorize the issuance of 36,363,637 shares of common stock. Our board of directors has the authority to issue additional shares of common stock up to the authorized capital stated in the articles of incorporation. We contemplate that our board of directors may authorize the issuance of some or all of such shares to provide the Company with additional capital. The issuance of any such shares may result in a reduction of the book value or market price of the outstanding shares of our common stock. It will also cause a reduction in the proportionate ownership and voting power of all other stockholders.
We have never paid dividends and do not intend to pay any in the foreseeable future, which may delay or prevent recovery of your investment.
We have never paid any cash dividends and currently do not intend to pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. If we do not pay dividends, this may delay or prevent recovery of your investment. To the extent that we require additional funding currently not provided for in our financing plan, it is possible that our funding sources might prohibit the payment of dividends.
The trading price of our common stock may be volatile, with the result that an investor may not be able to sell any shares acquired at a price equal to or greater than the price paid by the investor.
Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol "XBOR.” Companies quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board have traditionally experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. In addition, our stock price may be adversely affected by factors that are unrelated or disproportionate to our operating performance. Market fluctuations, as well as general economic, political and market conditions such as recessions, interest rates or international currency fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our common stock. As a result of this potential price and volume volatility, an investor may have difficulty selling any of our common stock that they acquire that a price equal or greater than the price paid by the investor.
Because our stock is a penny stock, stockholders will be more limited in their ability to sell their stock.
The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the Nasdaq system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or quotation system.
Because our securities constitute "penny stocks" within the meaning of the rules, the rules apply to us and to our securities. The rules may further affect the ability of owners of shares to sell our securities in any market that might develop for them. As long as the trading price of our common stock is less than $5.00 per share, the common stock will be subject to Rule 15g-9 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, that:
1.
|
contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading;
|
2.
|
contains a description of the broker's or dealer's duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation to such duties or other requirements of securities laws;
|
3.
|
contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price;
|
4.
|
contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions;
|
5.
|
defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and
|
6.
|
contains such other information and is in such form, including language, type, size and format, as the SEC shall require by rule or regulation.
|
The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, the customer with: (a) bid and offer quotations for the penny stock; (b) the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction; (c) the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and (d) a monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules; the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitably statement. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our stock.
