Notes
To The Financial Statements
July
31, 2010
(Unaudited)
Note
1 – Organization, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies
Organization
Sun River
Energy, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on October 22, 2002, under the
laws of the State of Colorado.
Sun River
is an oil and gas exploration, development and production company engaged in
locating and developing petroleum resources primarily in the Raton Basin in
Colfax County, N.M. The Company’s past activities have targeted the
Mississippian and Pennsylvanian formations on the Company’s property in Colfax
County, N.M. As of July 31, 2010, Sun River held oil and gas mineral interests
in 158,960 gross acres (132,417 net acres) located in New Mexico. There are no
producing wells and three shut-in wells located on these
properties.
See
Subsequent Material Events set forth in Note 7 below, which identifies
significant material changes to the ownership and management of the
Company.
Basis
of Presentation
Development
Stage Company
The
Company has not earned any significant revenues from its limited principal
operations. Accordingly, the Company’s activities have been accounted for as
those of a “Development Stage Enterprise”. Among the disclosures required are
that the Company’s financial statements be identified as those of a development
stage company, and that the statements of operation, stockholders’ equity
(deficit) and cash flows disclose activity since the date of the Company’s
inception.
Interim
Presentation
In the
opinion of the management of the company, the accompanying unaudited financial
statements include all material adjustments, including all normal and recurring
adjustments, considered necessary to present fairly the financial position and
operating results of the Company for the periods presented. The
financial statements and notes are presented as permitted by Form 10-Q, and do
not contain certain information included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2010. It is the Company’s
opinion that when the interim financial statements are read in conjunction with
the April 30, 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K and its Current Reports on Form
8-K the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not
misleading. Interim results are not indicative of results for a full
year or any future period.
Significant
Accounting Policies
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of the 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 and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
The
Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of
three months or less and money market instruments to be cash
equivalents.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company recognizes revenue when it is earned and expenses are recognized when
they occur.

Value
of Financial Instruments
The
carrying amount of cash, accounts payable and notes payable is considered to be
representative of its fair value because of the short-term nature of this
financial instrument.
Stock-Based
Compensation
Under the
fair value recognition provisions, stock-based compensation cost is measured at
the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as
expenses on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is
the vesting period.
Prior to
May 1, 2009, the Company entered into a Consulting Agreement with a third party
for services. Payment for such services includes a monthly payment of 20,000
shares of the Company’s common stock and a warrant exercisable for 20,000 shares
of the Company’s common stock (see below). During the three months ended July
31, 2010, the Company issued 60,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to such
consultant. The Company recognized an expense of $88,800 (a range of $1.40 to
$1.64 per share, based on closing market prices on the date of issuance). During
the quarter ended July 31, 2010, warrants exercisable for 60,000 shares were
issued by the Company. During the quarter ended July 31, 2010, the warrants
exercisable for 60,000 shares had exercise prices ranging from $1.45 to $1.65
per share. The total fair value of the options at the date of grant was $22,120
and was recorded as consulting expense. The warrants have a term of two years
from the date of issuance. The warrants were valued using the Black-Scholes
model.
Other
Comprehensive Income
The
Company has no material components of other comprehensive income (loss), and
accordingly, net loss is equal to comprehensive loss in all
periods.
Loss
Per Share
The
Company provides a dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings or loss per
share (EPS) with a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic
EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation.
Basic EPS excludes dilution. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that
could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were
exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common
stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity.
Income
Taxes
Deferred
income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for differences between
the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities that will
result in taxable of deductive amounts in the future based on enacted laws and
rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect
taxable income (loss). Valuation allowance is established when necessary to
reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be
realized.

Recently
Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In July
2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Proposed Accounting Standard Update
(Topic 450) – Disclosure of Certain Loss
Contingencies. This amendment would lower the current
disclosure threshold and broaden the current disclosure requirements to provide
adequate and timely information to assist users in assessing the likelihood,
potential magnitude, and potential timing (if known) of future cash outflows
associated with loss contingencies. For public entities, the new guidance would
be effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2010, and interim and
annual periods in subsequent fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating
the impact of the future adoption of the Update.
There
were various other accounting standards and interpretations issued in 2009 and
2010, none of which are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s
financial position, operations or cash flows.
Note 2 – Going Concern and
Management’s Plan of Operations
Going Concern
The
Company’s financial statements for the three months ended July 31, 2010 have
been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of
assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of
business. The Company reported a net loss of $1,031,912 for the three months
ended July 31, 2010 and an accumulated deficit during the development stage of
$9,785,028. At July 31, 2010, the Company’s total current liabilities exceed
total current assets by $2,583,749.
The
Company is in the development stage and has not earned any revenue from
operations. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent
upon its ability to develop additional sources of capital or locate a merger
candidate and ultimately, achieve profitable operations. The accompanying
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the
outcome of these uncertainties. Management is seeking new capital to support the
ongoing operations of the Company.

On August
18, 2009, the Court granted the Motion to Dismiss filed by LPC in July 2009. The
case has been dismissed without prejudice and all claims against the Company
have been dropped, however LPC has not withdrawn its conversion notice and
demand. Therefore, the Company has recorded a $550,000 litigation liability in
connection with the conversion notice and demand.
On
September 24, 2009, LPC Investments filed suit in the District Court of
Jefferson County, Colorado against the Company. Among other things, the suit
asks the Court to issue a declaratory judgment in requesting that 2.2 million
shares previously purchased by LPC Investments (the Disputed Shares) are indeed
owned by LPC Investments, and to direct the Company to co-operate with LPC
Investment's outstanding legend removal requests submitted to the Company's
transfer agent by LPC Investments. LPC Investments is also seeking payment of
attorney fees and costs. In that same litigation, on October 2, 2009, the
Company filed Counterclaims and Third Party Claims in the District Court of
Jefferson County, Colorado against LPC Investments and Kevin Paul. The claims
and the relief sought by the Company are substantially similar to the claims and
relief previously sought in the Douglas County litigation.

23, 2010, the Company entered into a confidential settlement agreement regarding
its litigation with LPC and Kevin Paul which require the purchase of 1,900,139

Overview and Plan of
Operations
Sun River
is an oil and gas exploration, development and production company engaged in
locating and developing petroleum resources primarily in the Raton Basin in
Colfax County, N.M. The Company’s principal business strategy has
been to use technologies new to a specific area to generate and develop
high-potential exploitation resources in this area. Accordingly, its
principal business model has been the acquisition of oil and gas mineral
interests, either directly or indirectly, and the exploitation and development
of those properties. The Company’s past activities have targeted the
Mississippian and Pennsylvanian formations on the Company’s property in Colfax
County, N.M. As of April 30, 2010, Sun River held oil and gas mineral
interests in 158,960 gross acres (128,357 net acres) located in New
Mexico. There are no producing wells and three shut-in wells located
on these properties.
15
In August
2010, the Company acquired certain wells bore rights and oil and gas mineral
leases in Tom Green County, Texas, as described further below and a full service
oil & gas operating company located in Dallas, Texas, which owned office
equipment, software, furniture and personal property.
The
Company’s anticipated future development includes, but is not limited to,
further development of its New Mexico mineral interests, continued operations on
its recently acquired Tom Green County, Texas acreage which includes the
Stansberry # 1 well and of the Lora # 1 well. The first well the
Stansberry # 1 was drilled to a total depth of 5,507 feet. It is
completed in the Harkey Sand at between the 4,780 foot and the 4,784
intervals. The well has a 1,650 psi shut in tubing pressure and is
awaiting a pipeline connection in conjunction with a gas marketing
agreement. The second well the Lora # 1 was drilled to a total depth
of 4,807 feet. The well remains shut in awaiting a completion attempt
in the 3,200 foot sands. This sand is prolific in this area of the
Permian Basin in the nearby Christoval North Field.
Additionally,
the Company intends to identify and acquire additional mineral interest and
production in geological and geographical areas in which management has
technical and administrative experience.
To date,
the Company has no revenues. The Company will need substantial additional
capital to support its proposed future operations. The Company has no
committed source for any funds as of the date hereof. There can be
not assurances that any funds will be available when needed. In the
event funds cannot be raised when needed, the Company may not be able to carry
out its business plan, may never achieve sales or royalty income, and could fail
in business as a result of these uncertainties.
The
independent registered public accounting firm's report on the Company's
financial statements as of April 30, 2010, and for each of the years in the
two-year period then ended, includes a "going concern" explanatory paragraph,
that describes substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern.
Results
of Operations
Three
Months Ended July 31, 2010 compared to the Three Months Ended July 31,
2009.
Revenue. During
the three months ended July 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company did not recognize any
revenues from its operating activities.
Operational Expenses. During the three months
ended July 31, 2010, operating expenses, which are comprised of consulting
expenses, lease expenses, litigation expense and general and administrative
expenses, were $1,005,431 compared to $591,255 during the three months ended
July 31, 2009, which represents an increase of $414,176, or
70.1%. Consulting expenses increased by $214,099, or 50.2% to
$640,696 for the three months ended July 31, 2010 from $426,597 for the
comparable period in 2009. Consulting expenses increased primarily as
a result of fees due under consulting agreements, including a consulting
agreement with Cicerone Corporate Development, LLC, which were entered into
between the periods of July 2009 and October 2009. Lease expenses
increased to $40,533 for the three months ended July 31, 2010 from $0 in the
comparable period in 2009. Lease expenses increased as a result of
the payment of past due rent in the amount of $4,158 and the payment of $36,375
of land research costs related to the Company’s property in Colfax County, New
Mexico. Litigation expense for the three months ended July 31, 2010
was $135,873 as compared to $0 for the three months ended July 31,
2009. The litigation expense in 2010 was a result of litigation with
a shareholder which has now been settled along with ongoing litigation against a
brokerage firm for wrongfully trading in unregistered shares. General
and administrative expenses increased by $23,671 to $188,329 for the three
months ended July 31, 2010 from $164,658 for the comparable period in
2009. General and administrative expenses increased primarily as a
result of increase in insurance, dues and subscriptions, office expenses,
investor relation and other miscellaneous expenses.
16
Interest
Expense. The Company recognized interest expense of $26,481
during the three months ended July 31, 2010 compared to $30,676 for the same
period in 2009. The decrease of $4,195 in interest expense resulted
from a decrease in notes payable.
Net Loss. During
the three months ended July 31, 2010, the Company recognized a net loss of
$1,031,912, compared to a net loss of $621,931 for the comparable three months
in 2009. The increase of $409,981 was due to the $414,176 increase in
operating expenses less the $4,195 decrease in interest expense discussed
above.
Liquidity and Capital
Resources
As of
July 31, 2010, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $39,817 and a
working capital deficit of $ 2,583,927. To date, the Company has not
generated any revenues from operations. The Company has been
dependent upon loans from third parties and the issuance of securities to
finance the payment of operating expenses. The Company will continue
to rely on loans and issuances of securities to generate cash until such time as
its operations generate revenue.
The
Company has no material commitments for capital expenditures within the next
year, however if operations are commenced, substantial capital will be needed to
pay for participation, investigation, exploration, acquisition and working
capital. There can be no assurances the Company will obtain financing
for these operations.
Operating Activities. Net
cash used in operating activities was $1,447,527 for the three months ended July
31, 2010 as compared to net cash used in operating activities of $29,214 during
the comparable period in 2009. This increase of $1,418,313 in cash
used in operating activities for the three months ended July 31, 2010 is
primarily a result of the $1,031,912 in net loss and the decrease in accounts
payable and accrued liabilities of $415,615 which resulted from the issuance of
notes payable in payment of amounts due to third parties for goods and services
provided to the Company. Net cash used in operating activities for
the three months ended July 31, 2009 is a result of $621,931 in net loss
primarily offset by an increase in equity used for services and interest of
$394,770 and an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of
$197,947.
Investing
Activities. The net cash used in/provided by investing
activities was $0 for the three months ended July 31, 2010 and
2009.
Financing Activities. Net
cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended July 31, 2010
was $1,447,527 as compared to net cash provided by financing activities of
$31,467 in the comparable period in 2009. During the three months
ended July 31, 2010, we received $665,550 in proceeds from the issuance of notes
and $781,977 from the issuance of common stock for debt. During the
three months ended July 31, 2009, we used $20,000 to repay outstanding notes,
which was offset by the receipt of $51,467 in proceeds from advances primarily
from Michael A. Littman.
17
Conversion
of Debt
On August
6, 2010, the Company converted an aggregate of $1,416,341 of outstanding
promissory notes into 1,530,597 shares of the Company’s common
stock. The promissory notes were converted at rates of $0.25 per
share to $1.50 per share depending upon the terms of the individual promissory
notes. On September 3, 2010, the Company paid $5,000 in cash and
converted the remaining balance of $63,229.66 of an outstanding promissory note
into 40,908 shares of the Company’s common stock. The promissory note
was converted at a rate of $1.56 per share. The Company anticipates
converting all or a majority of the remaining debt to equity under the terms of
the respective promissory notes. There can be no assurances however,
that the Company will be successful in converting its remaining outstanding
debts into common stock.
Critical Accounting Policies and
Estimates
The
preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires
management to make assumptions and estimates that affect the reported amounts of
assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses as well as the disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. The following is a summary of the significant accounting
policies and related estimates that affect the Company’s financial
disclosures.
Oil and Gas Properties and
Reserves
We follow
the full cost method of accounting whereby all costs related to the acquisition
and development of oil and gas properties are capitalized into a single cost
center referred to as a full cost pool. Depletion of exploration and
development costs and depreciation of production equipment is computed using the
units-of-production method based upon estimated proved oil and gas
reserves. Under the full cost method of accounting, capitalized oil
and gas property costs less accumulated depletion and net of deferred income
taxes may not exceed an amount equal to the present value, discounted at 10%, of
estimated future net revenues from proved oil and gas reserves less the future
cash outflows associated with the asset retirement obligations that have been
accrued on the balance sheet plus the cost, or estimated fair value if lower, of
unproved properties. Should capitalized costs exceed this ceiling, an
impairment would be recognized.
Estimating
accumulations of gas and oil is complex and is not exact because of the numerous
uncertainties inherent in the process. The process relies on
interpretations of available geological, geophysical, engineering and production
data. The extent, quality and reliability of this technical data can
vary. The process also requires certain economic assumptions, some of
which are mandated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), such as
gas and oil prices, drilling and operating expenses, capital expenditures, taxes
and availability of funds. The accuracy of a reserve estimate is a
function of the quality and quantity of available data; the interpretation of
that data; the accuracy of various mandated economic assumptions; and the
judgment of the persons preparing the estimate.
The most
accurate method of determining proved reserve estimates is based upon a decline
analysis method, which consists of extrapolating future reservoir pressure and
production from historical pressure decline and production data. The
accuracy of the decline analysis method generally increases with the length of
the production history. Since most of our wells have been producing
less than seven years, their production history is relatively short, so other
(generally less accurate) methods such as volumetric analysis and analogy to the
production history of wells of other operators in the same reservoir were used
in conjunction with the decline analysis method to determine the estimates of
our proved reserves including developed producing, developed non-producing and
undeveloped. As our wells are produced over time and more data is
available, the estimated proved reserves will be redetermined on an annual basis
and may be adjusted based on that data.
Actual
future production, gas and oil prices, revenues, taxes, development
expenditures, operating expenses and quantities of recoverable gas and oil
reserves most likely will vary from any estimates.
18
Impairment of Long-lived
Assets
The cost
of our unproved properties is withheld from the depletion base as described
above, until it is determined whether or not proved reserves can be assigned to
the properties. These properties are reviewed periodically for
possible impairment. Our management reviews all unproved property
each quarter. If a determination is made that acreage will be
expiring or that we do not plan to develop some of the acreage that is no longer
considered to be prospective, we record an impairment of the acreage and
reclassify the costs to the full cost pool. We estimate the value of
these acres for the purpose of recording the related impairment. The
impairments that we have recorded were estimated by calculating a per acre value
from the total unproved costs incurred for the applicable acreage divided by the
total net acres owned by us. This per acre estimate is then applied
to the acres that we do not plan to develop in order to calculate the
impairment. A change in the estimated value of the acreage could have
a material impact on the total impairment recorded by us, calculation of
depletion expense and the ceiling test analysis.
Stock-Based
Compensation
We
account for stock option grants and restricted stock awards by recognizing
compensation cost for stock-based awards based on the estimated fair value of
the award. Compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair
value of the award and is recognized as an expense over the service period,
which generally represents the vesting period. We use the
Black-Scholes option valuation model to calculate the fair value of option
awards. This model requires us to estimate a risk free interest rate
and the volatility of our common stock price. The use of a different
estimate for any one of these components could have a material impact on the
amount of calculated compensation expense.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In June
2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting
Standards Codification (“ASC”) 105, “Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”
(formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 168, “The
FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles”). ASC 105 establishes the FASB ASC as the single source
of authoritative nongovernmental U.S. GAAP. The standard is effective for
interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. We
adopted the provisions of the standard on September 15, 2009, which did not have
a material impact on our financial statements.
In July
2010, the FASB issued Proposed
Accounting Standard Update (Topic 450) – Disclosure of Certain
Loss Contingencies. This amendment would lower the current
disclosure threshold and broaden the current disclosure requirements to provide
adequate and timely information to assist users in assessing the likelihood,
potential magnitude, and potential timing (if known) of future cash outflows
associated with loss contingencies. For public entities, the new
guidance would be effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2010, and
interim and annual periods in subsequent fiscal years. The Company is
currently evaluating the impact of the future adoption of the
Update.
There
were various other accounting standards and interpretations issued in 2009 and
2010, none of which are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s
financial position, operations or cash flows.
Off
Balance Sheet Arrangements
From
time-to-time, we enter into off-balance sheet arrangements and transactions that
can give rise to off-balance sheet obligations. As of July 31, 2010,
the off-balance sheet arrangements and transactions that we had entered into
included undrawn letters of credit, operating lease agreements and gas
transportation commitments. The Company does not believe that these
arrangements are reasonably likely to materially affect its liquidity or
availability of, or requirements for, capital resources currently or in the
future.
19
Item
3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
The
Company’s operations do not employ financial instruments or derivatives which
are market sensitive. Short term funds are held in non-interest
bearing accounts and funds held for longer periods are placed in interest
bearing accounts. Large amounts of funds, if available, will be
distributed among multiple financial institutions to reduce risk of
loss. The Company's cash holdings do not generate interest
income.
Reduced Commodity
Prices May Result in Ceiling Test Write-Downs and Other
Impairments
We may be
required to write down the carrying value of our gas and oil properties as a
result of low gas and oil prices or if there are substantial downward
adjustments to the estimated proved reserves, increases in the estimates of
development costs or deterioration in the exploration results.
Investments
in unproved properties are also assessed periodically to ascertain whether
impairment has occurred. Our evaluation of impairment of unproved
properties incorporates our expectations of developing unproved properties given
current and forward-looking economic conditions and commodity
prices.
Reduced Commodity
Prices May Impact Our Ability to Produce Economically
Significant
or extended price declines may adversely affect the amount of oil and natural
gas that we can produce economically. A reduction in production could
result in a shortfall in our expected cash flows and require us to reduce our
capital spending or borrow funds to cover any such shortfall. Any of
these factors could negatively impact our ability to replace our production and
our future rate of growth.
Item
4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure
Controls. The Company’s Chief Executive and Principal
Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure
controls and procedures as of the end of the Company’s fiscal quarter of 2010
pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934. Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other
procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed
by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified
in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include,
without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information
required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits
under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s
management, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure. Based on his evaluation, the Chief Executive and
Principal Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and
procedures were not effective as of July 31, 2010 as a result of certain
material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting
described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
April 30, 2010.
In
connection with the closing of certain acquisitions in August 2010, the
Company’s new management team has implemented new procedures relating to the
disbursement of cash for the payment of accounts payable, the approval of asset
acquisitions and the execution of contracts. The Company’s management
team also continues to evaluate the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures
and will implement standard accounting procedures and control necessary to
ensure the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures.
20
It should
be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can
provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the
system are met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part
upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. Because of these
and other inherent limitations of control systems, there can be no assurance
that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential
future conditions.
Changes in Internal Control Over
Financial Reporting. There have been no changes in our
internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal
quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially
affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
