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.
 
Note 3 – Leases and Mineral Rights
 
Mineral Rights - New Mexico
 
The Mineral rights in New Mexico are valued at $100,000 on the financial statements based on the predecessor’s cost basis.

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.

The suit alleges among other things Spencer Edwards, Inc. has repeatedly violated Rule 144 of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 in the selling of common shares of the Company on the open market which was a basis of the underlying litigation against Kevin Paul in Case No. 2009CV4859 the District Court of Jefferson County, Division 8, Colorado.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
