SURGE GLOBAL ENERGY, INC.

MARCH 31, 2011 AND 2010

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A summary of the significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements follows.

Business and Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Surge Global Energy, Inc., its wholly owned subsidiaries, Surge Energy Resources, Inc., Cold Flow Energy ULC, and 1294697 Alberta Ltd., Ltd. (collectively the “Company”).

The Company’s Canadian subsidiaries are carried in their Canadian dollar functional currency and are presented in U.S. dollars upon consolidation. Any gain or loss on conversion into U.S. dollars is reflected in other comprehensive income.  All amounts stated in these financial statements are in $US unless otherwise noted.

In January 2005, the Company began implementing plans to establish an oil and gas development business. As a result, the Company is an exploration stage enterprise, as defined by ASC 915 (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 7 (“SFAS 7”)) and is now seeking to explore the acquisition and development of oil and gas properties in the United States and Canada. From its inception of exploration stage through the date of these financial statements, the Company has not generated any revenues from oil and gas operations and has incurred significant operating expenses. Consequently, its operations are subject to all risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise.

For the period from January 1, 2005 (inception of exploration stage) through March 31, 2011, the Company has accumulated total comprehensive exploration stage losses of $38,899,746. The Company will cease to be an exploration stage oil and gas corporation once it commences oil and gas drilling, exploration, and production of oil and gas properties.

The consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2011, the consolidated statements of operations and statements of cash flows for the respective periods presented, have been prepared by the Company without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, have been condensed or omitted as allowed by such rules and regulations, and the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The results of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of results expected for the full calendar year ending December 31, 2011.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position at March 31, 2011, and the results of operations and changes in cash flows for all periods presented, have been made. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and notes thereto included in our annual report for the year ended December 31, 2010 on Form 10-K filed with the SEC.
 
Management Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, as well as certain financial statement disclosures.  While management believes that the estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the financial statements are appropriate, actual results could differ from these estimates.

Oil and Gas Properties

The Company follows the full cost accounting method to account for oil and natural gas properties, whereby costs incurred in the acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas reserves are capitalized. Such costs include lease acquisition, geological and geophysical activities, rentals on non-producing leases, drilling, completing and equipping of oil and gas wells and administrative costs directly attributable to those activities and asset retirement costs. Disposition of oil and gas properties are accounted for as a reduction of capitalized costs, with no gain or loss recognized unless such adjustment would significantly alter the relationship between capital costs and proved reserves of oil and gas, in which case the gain or loss is recognized to income. The capitalized costs of oil and gas properties, excluding unevaluated and unproved properties, are amortized using the units-of-production method based on estimated proved recoverable oil and gas reserves. Amortization of unevaluated and unproved property costs begins when the properties become proved or their values become impaired.

SURGE GLOBAL ENERGY, INC.
(AN EXPLORATION STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2011 AND 2010
 
 NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
 
Impairment of unevaluated and unproved prospects is assessed periodically based on a variety of factors, including management’s intention with regard to future exploration and development of individually significant properties and the ability of the Company to obtain funds to finance such exploration and development.

Under full cost accounting rules for each cost center, capitalized costs of evaluated oil and gas properties, including asset retirement costs, less accumulated amortization and related deferred income taxes, may not exceed an amount (the “cost ceiling”) equal to the sum of (a) the present value of future net cash flows from estimated production of proved oil and gas reserves, based on current economic and operating conditions, discounted at 10%, plus (b) the cost of properties not being amortized, plus (c) the lower of cost or estimated fair value of any unproved properties included in the costs being amortized, less (d) any income tax effects related to differences between the book and tax basis of the properties involved. If capitalized costs exceed this limit, the excess is charged to earnings.
 
Given the volatility of oil and gas prices, it is reasonably possible that the estimate of discounted future net cash flows from proved oil and gas reserves could change in the near term. If oil and gas prices decline in the future, even if only for a short period of time, it is possible that additional impairments of oil and gas properties could occur. In addition, it is reasonably possible that additional impairments could occur if costs are incurred in excess of any increases in the present value of future net cash flows from proved oil and gas reserves, or if properties are sold for proceeds less than the discounted present value of the related proved oil and gas reserves.

Investment in unconsolidated subsidiary

Investee entities that the Company can exercise significant influence, but not control, are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Whether the Company exercises significant influence with respect to an investee depends on an evaluation of several factors, among others, representation of the Company’s board of directors and ownership level, generally 20% to 50% interest in the voting securities of the company including voting rights associated with the Company’s holdings in common, preferred and other convertible instruments in the company. Under the equity method of accounting, the Company’s share of the earnings or losses of these companies is included in the equity income (loss) section of the consolidated statements of operations.  A loss in value of an investment that is other than a temporary decline is recognized as a charge to operations. Evidence of a loss in value might include, but would not necessarily be limited to, absence of an ability to recover the carrying amount of the investment or inability of the investee to sustain an earnings capacity that would justify the carrying amount of the investment.  The Company had no unconsolidated subsidiaries in which it held equity interests of over 20% as of March 31, 2011.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
For purposes of the Balance Sheet and Statements of Cash Flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity date of three months or less to be cash equivalents.  The Company has $8,873 invested in cash in accounts maintained by commercial banks, all of which is subject to up to $250,000 of FDIC insurance.

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income is defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. The Company’s other comprehensive income includes unrecognized gains (losses) on available for sale securities and foreign currency translation adjustments.

Marketable securities

All investment securities are classified as either as available-for-sale or trading, and are carried at fair value or quoted market prices. Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities losses are reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Amortization, accretion, interest and dividends, realized gains and losses and declines in value judged to be other-than-temporary on available-for-sale securities are recorded in other income. This evaluation depends on the specific facts and circumstances. Factors that we consider in determining whether an other-than-temporary decline in value has occurred include: the market value of the security in relation to its cost basis; the financial condition of the investee; and the intent and ability to retain the investment for a sufficient period of time to allow for possible recovery in the market value of the investment.

MARCH 31, 2011 AND 2010

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term borrowings, as reflected in the balance sheets, approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments.

Going Concern

As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred losses from operations before taxes of $109,600 and $2,287 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Company’s cash position at March 31, 2011 was $8,873 compared with $454 at December 31, 2010, an increase of $8,419. The Company's current assets, on a consolidated basis, exceeded its current liabilities by $99,980 as of March 31, 2011compared with current liabilities in excess of current assets of $129,063 in the prior year, a decrease of $29,083.  For the quarters ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company used $59,081 and $304,194, respectively, of cash from operating activities. Cash from production payments receivable, sale of marketable securities and the sale of our investment in Andora are expected to occur later in 2011. By reducing operating expenses in future periods and generating cash from the sale of marketable securities, production payments receivable and long term investments and proceeds from stock offerings management believes it has sufficient capital resources to meet projected cash flow needs through the next twelve months.
 
Foreign Currency Translation

Assets and liabilities in foreign currency are translated at the rates of exchange at the balance sheet date, and related revenue and expenses are translated at average monthly exchange rates in effect during the period. Resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component in stockholders' equity. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in the statements of operations. 

Income Taxes
 
Income taxes are provided based on the liability method for financial reporting purposes. Under this method deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be removed or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the statements of operations in the period that includes the enactment date.  

Property and equipment are stated at cost

When retired or disposed, the related carrying value and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and the net difference less any amount realized from disposition, is reflected in earnings. For financial statement purposes, property and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Depreciation expenses from continuing operations amounted to $5,099 and $6,351 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  Maintenance, repairs, and minor renewals are charged against earnings when incurred. Additions and major renewals are capitalized.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made in the prior period financial statements to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications did not have any effect on comprehensive net income (loss) or shareholders' equity.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company measures and recognizes compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors including employee stock options based on estimated fair values.  Stock-based compensation expense attributable to stock options recognized for the quarters ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was $16,328 and $28,691, respectively.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2011 AND 2010
 

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Stock-based compensation expense recognized in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the quarters ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 included compensation expense for share-based payment awards granted prior to March 31, 2011 which vested during the corresponding quarters.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model as its method of valuation for share-based awards granted. The Company’s determination of fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables. These variables include, but are not limited to the Company’s expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, and certain other market variables such as the risk free interest rate.
 
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-28, “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts.”  For reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts, if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists, ASU 2010-28 requires performance of an additional test to determine whether goodwill has been impaired and to calculate the amount of impairment. In determining whether it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists, an entity should consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating that an impairment may exist.  ASU 2010-28 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2010.  The Company adopted ASU 2009-28 in the first quarter of 2011 and the impact of adopting ASU 2010-28 will not be known until evaluations for goodwill impairment are performed at our annual impairment testing date or more frequently if indicators of potential impairment exist.

In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-29, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations.  ASU 2010-29 specifies that for material business combinations when comparative financial statements are presented, revenue and earnings of the combined entity should be disclosed as though the business combination had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period.  ASU 2010-29 also expands the supplemental pro forma disclosures to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. ASU 2010-29 is effective prospectively for business combinations with an acquisition date on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period after December 15, 2010.  The Company adopted this standard in 2011, and noted it had no impact on its disclosures through March 31, 2011.

Except for rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws and a limited number of grandfathered standards, the FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ (“ASC”) is the sole source of authoritative GAAP literature recognized by the FASB and applicable to the Company.  Management has reviewed the aforementioned rules and releases and believes any effect will not have a material impact on the Company's present or future consolidated financial statements.

Subsequent Events

The Company evaluated any events occurring between the end of the March 31, 2011 quarter, and the date when the financial statements were issued. Those events which do not affect the March 31, 2011 financials are listed as subsequent events, see Note 15.

NOTE 2 – ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

In December, 2010, the Company sold its entire 35% working interest in the Qualmay 12-42 well in Wyoming. The sale provided for $10,000.00 to be paid in cash, which payment was made on March 17, 2011, and forgiveness of lease related liabilities of $29,405.

NOTE 3 – CONVERTIBLE NOTE RECEIVABLE AND WARRANT

In September 2008, the Company paid $275,000 and issued 1,000,000 warrants at an exercise price of $0.75 per share and expiring December 31, 2009 for the purchase of 500,000 shares of common stock and a $275,000 convertible note receivable from 11 Good Energy, Inc. The convertible note receivable bore interest at a rate of 8% per annum and was scheduled to mature on June 30, 2009.    

The Note was either redeemable at face value or convertible into 11 Good Energy common stock and an equal number of common stock purchase warrants exercisable until June 30, 2010, and was redeemable at the Company's election at the earlier of maturity date or upon notice of prepayment of the convertible note by 11 Good Energy, Inc.  The conversion price was to be calculated at 85% of the cash sales price per share of common stock to be offered by 11 Good Energy, Inc. in a private placement, with no value attributable to any warrants.  The number of warrants was to be equal to the number of common stock issuable upon conversion.  As a result of the foregoing, the Company received warrants to purchase 107,843 shares of 11 Good Energy common stock exercisable at $2.55 per share through the close of business on June 30, 2010, subsequently revised to June 30, 2012.

The Company allocated the purchase price to the convertible note receivable and the marketable securities based on the relative fair values of the instruments received.  The allocation of the purchase price was $137,500 to the convertible note receivable and $137,500 to the 500,000 common shares of 11 Good Energy.  A discount of $137,500 was recorded on $275,000 face value of convertible note receivable.

On June 11, 2009, the note receivable, accrued interest and legal fees thereon, totaling $295,057 was received in full. The discount on the convertible note was fully amortized using the effective interest method. At the same time, the 1,000,000 warrants issued at $0.75 per share were cancelled. The Company continues to own a stock purchase warrant to acquire 107,843 shares of 11Good Energy, Inc. exercisable at $2.55 per share.

The 11 Good Energy warrant had been scheduled to expire on June 30, 2010 but the expiration date was extended until June 30, 2012. The Company did not previously value the warrant for financial statement purposes since the Company did not exercise the warrant on or before June 30, 2010. But with the extended expiration date and the prospect that 11 Good Energy, Inc. common stock may become publicly traded in the second quarter of 2011 has caused us to value the warrant at $102,451 as of December 31, 2010, or $0.95 per warrant.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2011 the Company recorded an unrealized loss of $17,976 related to the 11 Good Energy warrants reducing the value of the warrants at March 31, 2011 to $85,375.

NOTE 4– PRODUCTION PAYMENTS RECEIVABLE

In December 2009, the Company paid $300,000 to a service company under the terms of an equipment lease agreement with a third party operator for redevelopment of four wells located in Pawnee County, Oklahoma. This $300,000 payment has been accounted for as a production payment receivable and is due from the operator.  The production payments and any net profits interest which would be earned from this investment are classified as a receivable until the amount due is paid.  Under the terms of the agreement, the Company is entitled to monthly repayment amounts of 75% of net income per well up to a maximum of $10,000 per well.  The repayments continue until such time as the Company has been repaid $354,000, plus legal fees.  The first payment is due and payable with 10 days of receipt by the operator of oil and gas revenues and on the same date of each succeeding month thereafter.  If the third party operator fails to pay amount due and payable or perform any provisions under the equipment lease agreement, the Company may elect to be assigned a 75% working interest in the wells.  In addition, the Company may exercise additional remedies, including taking possession of any equipment.  
 
In September, 2010, the Company entered into a written agreement with CAVU Resources, Inc. for CAVU to pay to the Company $130,000, plus interest, of the $300,000 advanced to them by the operator of this property. The payment on the note is due on or before June 1, 2011.

In December, 2010, the Company recognized a writedown of this asset of $85,000 to reflect its estimate of the property’s fair market value at December 31, 2010 after the foregoing.

At March 31, 2011 the estimated net realizable value of the production payments receivable was $215,000.

In 2008, the Company acquired drilling and exploration rights in three properties: White Pine County, Nevada; Park County, Wyoming and Crane County, Texas. The Company commenced drilling an exploration well on the Wyoming lease in 2008 and after completion of the well determined that the well did not produce commercial quantities of oil and/or gas and took an impairment charge for all of the costs incurred of $525,741 in 2010 $571,948 in 2009.

In December, 2010, the Company sold its 35% working interest in the Wyoming property for $39,405, which amount was comprised of $10,000 in cash due in March, 2011, $18,405 in accrued lease operating expenses and a plugging liability of $10,500 both of which were forgiven in the sale.

In December, 2010, the Company reserved $85,000 against its production payment receivable account to reflect its estimate of recoverable costs. This receivable is related to its investment in its Oklahoma property, which was classified as a production payment receivable and is not reflected in the above table.

NOTE 6 - INVESTMENT IN ANDORA ENERGY CORPORATION

On September 19, 2007, the Company’s subsidiary, Signet, completed the proposed business combination of Signet and Andora Energy Corporation ("Andora"). As part of the combination, each of the issued and outstanding shares of Signet common stock was exchanged for 0.296895028 shares of Andora common stock.  The Company exchanged its 11,550,000 shares of Signet common stock for approximately 3,429,140 shares of common stock of Andora representing approximately 5.78% of the fully diluted shares of Andora. 2,349,321 shares of Andora common stock received by the Company were placed in an escrow account pursuant to an agreement with Valiant Trust Company, Andora and Signet.  In connection with the Dynamo litigation claim, Andora was entitled to recover a claim from the Company pursuant to a judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction and after exhausting all appeals. 
 
The Company’s valuation of Andora is based on reserve reports furnished to the Company by Andora which the Company has relied upon in assessing the value of its investment in Andora.  Virtually all of these reserves will require alternative methods of production to enable them to be realized as income. Such methods require substantial investment in plant and equipment to be effective. Should Andora obtain equity financing in the future to finance drilling operations, the Company may sustain additional dilution to its equity interest in Andora.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2011 the Company issued 12,500 shares of Andora common stock to its Chief Executive Officer in lieu of $7,500 in cash compensation due under his employment agreement. 

At March 31, 2011 the Company owned 3,202,332 Andora shares valued at $3,263,998 ($1.02 per share), approximately 5% of Andora on a fully diluted basis.

At December 31, 2010, Surge had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $14,000,000 for federal and approximately $10,000,000 for state income tax purposes, which will begin to expire, if unused, beginning in 2021. The valuation allowance increased by approximately $420,000 and $930,000 in the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 respectively.  Internal Revenue Code Section 382 rules may place annual limitations on the Company’s net operating loss carryforward on a change in ownership.

The above estimates are based upon management’s decisions concerning certain elections which could change the relationship between net income and taxable income. Management decisions are made annually and could cause the estimates to vary significantly. Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method for taxable temporary differences resulting from the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax basis.  Deferred tax assets have resulted from the Company's net operating loss carry-forward, which has been reduced by an equal valuation allowance.  Valuation allowance has been established based on the opinion of management that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. 

NOTE 8 - LOANS PAYABLE-OFFICER

During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company’s Chief Executive officer advanced the Company a total of $2,750 (net) which includes salary earned but unpaid. The balance of these advances was $82,750 at March 31, 2011. The balance at December 31, 2010 was $80,000.

The loan was made without interest, is secured by Andora shares convertible at $0.60 per Andora share, and is repayable without penalty at the time of a liquidity event, such as the sale of stock or collection of receivables, generates sufficient cash to repay this obligation.

NOTE 9 - CAPITAL STOCK

Preferred Stock

On March 2, 2007, the Company issued one share of Special Voting Preferred Stock to Olympia Trust Company as trustee pursuant to the Voting and Exchange Trust Agreement. The preferred stock was issued in connection with the acquisition of Peace Oil Corp. The issuance of the preferred stock is exempt from registration pursuant to Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Special Voting Preferred Stock is not convertible into shares of any other series or class of our capital stock. The one share of Special Voting Preferred Stock referred to herein was cancelled in June 2008.

Common Stock

On February 22, 2007, the Company approved an increase to the Company's authorized shares of capital stock to an aggregate of 210,000,000 shares, consisting of 200,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 per share and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, pursuant to an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation.

The Company is not currently subject to any contractual arrangements which restrict its ability to pay cash dividends. The Company's Certificate of Incorporation prohibits the payment of cash dividends on the Company's Common Stock in excess of $0.05 per share per year so long as any one preferred stock remains outstanding unless all accrued and unpaid dividends on one preferred stock has been set apart and there are no arrearages with respect to the redemption of any preferred stock.

In November 2006, the Company issued an aggregate of 3 million shares of common stock to third party investors, Gemini Financial, in exchange for net proceeds of $1,350,000. In connection with this private placement, the Company issued to the investors an aggregate of six million warrants of the Company that are subject to registration rights and penalties amounting to 2% of the proceeds on a monthly basis if the registration was not effective by March 28, 2007. To address SEC comments, the Company was obligated to provide and disclose Peace Oil Corp. financial statements as well as a pro forma financial statement of the combined companies. The Company accounted for the warrants issued in accordance with ASC 815 (formerly EITF 00-19) “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock”.   In December 2006, the FASB approved ASC 825 (formerly FSP EITF 00-19-2) “Accounting for Registration Payment Arrangements”, which establishes the standard that contingent obligations to make future payments under a registration rights arrangement shall be recognized and measured separately in accordance with Statement 5 and ASC 450 (formerly FASB Interpretation No. 14), “Reasonable Estimation of the Amount of a Loss”. The Company has evaluated the effect of how ASC 825 (formerly FSP EITF 00-19-2) and ASC 480 (formerly EITF Topic D-98) affected these accompanying financial statements. In adopting ASC 825 (formerly FSP EITF 00-19-2) accounting pronouncement on January 1, 2007, the Company reclassified the remainder of the warrant liability of $2,309,400 to permanent equity.

In January 2007, the Company issued 383,333 shares of Common Stock to two of the Company’s directors in connection with stock options exercised at an average of $0.24 per share for net proceeds of $91,867. In April 2007, the Company redeemed 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock for a note payable with Gemini, which 2,000,000 shares were cancelled. In November 2007, Cold Flow shareholders exchanged 3,749,953.5 preferred shares into 7,499,907 common shares of the Company.

In March 2008, the Company received and cancelled 1,000,000 common shares in conjunction with its sale of the Cynthia Holdings, Ltd stock which entity owned the Santa Rosa property. In May 2008, the Company issued 100,000 common shares in conjunction with the exercise of options and simultaneously purchased 433,333 common shares from the same party at the same time.  These purchased shares were cancelled immediately. In June and July 2008, the Company redeemed an aggregate of 3,689,617 shares of common stock in connection with buyback of shares previously issued in conjunction with the purchase of Peace Oil Corp.

In September 2008, the Company issued 50,000 common shares in conjunction with stock options exercised at $0.115 per share for total proceeds of $5,750. In December 2008, the Company purchased and cancelled 60,000 shares for $3,600 or $0.06 per share.

There were no capital stock transactions during the twelve months ending December 31, 2009. 

In the year ending December 31, 2010, the Company sold a total of 2,200,000 common shares with 1,900,000 warrants for total proceeds of $218,000, net of fees, to various accredited investors and directors of the company at prices from $0.05 to $0.11 per share.

NOTE 13 – LITIGATION MATTERS

The Company’s business and operations may subject the Company to claims, litigation and other proceedings brought by private parties and governmental authorities. Currently we are not a party to any pending litigation matters.  Litigation can involve complex factual and legal questions and its outcome is uncertain. Any claim that is successfully asserted against us could result in significant damage claims and other losses. Even if the Company were to prevail, any litigation could be costly and time-consuming and would divert the attention of our management and key personnel from our business operations, which adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. The following is a description of our recent prior litigation:

2009 Default Judgment against subsidiary:
 
On September 30, 2009, the Company’s wholly owned Nevada subsidiary, namely, Surge Energy Resources, Inc., was sued by Three Span Oil & Gas, Inc, in Midland Texas (Case #CC15386) for nonpayment of $60,125.  The action arises out of an operating agreement between the Plaintiff and the Defendant pursuant to which Surge Energy Resources is alleged to have agreed to make certain payments of $20,000 on August 14, 2009, September 1, 2009 and October 1, 2009 until a $56,239 deficiency was paid, which payments were not made.  The action against Surge Energy Resources was for breach of contract, plus attorneys’ fees and interest.

A default judgment was entered into against Surge Energy Resources, Inc. for $60,125 plus fees in December, 2009.

The entire amount of this claim was accrued by Surge Energy Resources, Inc. as of March 31, 2011. Surge Energy Resources, Inc. has no material assets or operations.

Company Overview
 
The following discussion of our financial condition, changes in financial condition and results of operations for the three month period ending March 31, 2011 and the comparable period ending March 31, 2010, should be read in conjunction with the accompanying financial statements and related notes thereto, as well as the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto and management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 15, 2011.

In January 2005, as a result of the Company disposing of its tobacco wholesale business in December 2004, and restructuring its management and ownership, the Company began implementing plans to establish an oil and gas development business. The Company has not yet generated any revenues from oil and gas operations and has incurred significant operating expenses. Our consolidated financial statements are stated in United States Dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).
 
We are a Delaware corporation traded on the OTC Electronic Bulletin Board® under the symbol SRGG.OB. Our principal executive offices are located at 74-333 Highway #111, Suite 101, Palm Desert, CA 92260. Our telephone number is (760) 610-6758. Our fax number is (760) 766-2990. We maintain a website at www.SurgeGlobalEnergy.com.  

Corporate History
 
We were incorporated as The Havana Group, Inc. on November 25, 1997 under the laws of the state of Delaware. Our initial business was the sale of pipes and tobacco products, and we completed our initial public offering in May 1998.
 
In July 2002, we acquired 100% of the common stock of Bible Resources, Inc. (“Bible”) in exchange for 10,900,000 shares of our restricted common stock. Bible, at the time, was a newly formed Nevada corporation organized for the purpose of exploring, developing and/or investing in oil and gas resources on a worldwide basis. As of December 31, 2003, our pipe and tobacco inventory was liquidated and the tangible and intangible assets related to that business were sold off. In December 2004, we completed the restructuring of our balance sheet and the cancellation of our outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and indebtedness related to the discontinued tobacco and pipe business.

In February 2005, we formed a wholly owned Canadian subsidiary Surge Global Energy (Canada) Ltd.  On November 15, 2005, we changed its name to Signet Energy, Inc.  On November 14, 2005, Signet issued CDN$8,550,000 of 7% convertible debentures. As a result of the initial financing and related transactions, our ownership interest in Signet was initially reduced to approximately 47.3%. Subsequent financings reduced our ownership percentage to approximately 44.3% of Signet on an undiluted basis and approximately 27.3% on a fully diluted basis if all convertible notes issued in connection with prior financings converted into shares of Signet and all employee stock options are exercised. Based upon this reduction in ownership, we determined that we no longer had the legal power to control the operating policies and procedures of Signet and deconsolidated Signet from our consolidated financial statements during the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2006 and treated Signet operations as an equity investment effective September 30, 2006.

On September 19, 2007, Signet completed the proposed business combination of Signet and Andora Energy Corporation ("Andora") (the “Combination”). As part of the Combination, each of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Signet was exchanged for 0.296895028 shares of common stock of Andora.  The Company held 11,550,000 shares of common stock of Signet which were exchanged for approximately 3,429,138 shares of common stock of Andora representing approximately 5.78% of the fully diluted shares of Andora.   At that time, 2,127,616 shares of common stock of Andora received by Surge were placed in an escrow account pursuant to an agreement with Valiant Trust Company, Andora and Signet.

On February 2, 2010, the Company sold 375,000 of its Andora shares in full settlement of any outstanding legal fees owed to Andora and 2,009,961 shares remaining in escrow shares were released to the Company.

Oil and Gas Business Operations and Investments
 
Sawn Lake Project, Alberta, Canada
 
On September 19, 2007, the proposed business combination of Signet and Andora took place and the Company received a total of 3,429,138 common shares of Andora to hold a 5.87% fully diluted interest in Andora. Andora is an oil and gas company owned 53% by Pan Orient Energy Corp., a Canadian energy company listed on the TSX Venture Exchange. At that time, a total of 2,127,616 shares of common stock of Andora received by Surge were placed in an escrow account pursuant to an agreement with Valiant Trust Company, Andora and Signet and are being held in conjunction with the Dynamo litigation. See Legal Proceedings.

According to Andora’s publicly available information, Andora’s assets include various fractional interests in 84 sections of oil sands permits and a gross overriding royalty on various interests held by Deep Well Oil and Gas Inc. (“Deep Well”), all located in the Sawn Lake heavy oil project area of Alberta, Canada, as well as an effective 2.4 net gross overriding royalty (3% of an 80% working interest) on interests in the thickest net oil pay sections of the pool, which is payable by Deep Well. 
 
In March 2009, the Company’s investment in Andora was increased by 252,361 shares valued at $225,000 pursuant to a legal settlement agreement and in July, 2009 we transferred 75,000 Andora shares to a former director in full settlement of his legal claims.

In February, 2010, we transferred 375,000 Andora shares in full settlement of all outstanding legal and related fees owed to Andora in conjunction with the Dynamo lawsuit. The legal fees owed prior to settlement were $565,680 and the Company recognized a gain on the settlement of $183,459.

As of March 31, 2011, the Company owned 3,202,332 Andora shares (approximately 5% of Andora) which are recorded at cost of $3,263,998 ($1.02 per share).

Plan of Operations

Oil and Gas

The Company is engaged in the search for commercial oil and gas prospects, leases and working interest ownership in oil and gas properties.  Once prospects are identified and evaluated, leases are acquired from landowners or prior lease owners and the Company usually has from one to three years to drill a well or wells on those leases. The cost of oil & gas leases vary from property to property and leasing costs can average from $100 per acre to $500 per acre. After acreage is leased, the Company evaluates those properties further to determine the best plan of development and creates a budget called an Authorization For Expenditures (“AFE”) which reflects current drilling and completion costs for a specific well. On a 5,500 foot vertical well in Texas or New Mexico drilling costs could be as much as $500,000 and in Nevada over $1,200,000. Once drilling logs confirm indications of commercially producible oil & gas, completion of the well occurs. Completion costs can range from $250,000 to $500,000 per well drilled depending on the specific requirements of each well. Our drilling priority plans may change based on many factors including market prices for oil and gas, successes or failures of drilled wells, and our limited funds. As the Company drills more wells it intends to seek additional financing (debt or equity) to finance future drilling operations.

 
19

 

In June 2008, we began acquiring oil and gas properties for drilling and exploration. Three properties were acquired in 2008, the first was Green Springs Prospect in White Pine County, Nevada which consists of two leases aggregating approximately 2,500 acres which has not yet been drilled, the second was an oil and gas prospect in Crane County, Texas which was drilled, logged and found non productive, and the third a deep gas well named the Qualmay #12-42 well, a 7,200 foot deep well oil and gas well drilled on 40 acres of land in Park County, Wyoming. In view of limited production, this property was sold in December, 2010.
 
The Company was unable to raise additional capital to drill an initial test well on its Green Springs, Nevada property and decided to record an impairment on this property in the quarter ended June 30, 2010 in the amount of $560,943. The lease on this property was extended until September 1, 2010 and now has been cancelled. The Company has a right to a refund of $250,000.00 if drilling is commenced by the current leaseholder. We do not have any obligations under existing contracts or agreements calling for the provision of fixed and determinable quantities of oil and gas over the next three years, and have therefore not filed any information or reports with any federal authority or agency, containing estimates of total, proved developed or undeveloped net oil or gas reserves.
 
The Company plans on maximizing the value of its investment in Andora common stock by seeking opportunities to sell or trade these securities for cash or other oil & gas properties. The Company’s current oil and gas investments, plus cash and cash equivalents on hand, are the major assets of the Company at the present time. We are actively seeking ways to reduce corporate overhead, legal fees and public reporting costs to lower levels than were incurred in past periods. The Company is currently seeking other oil & gas drilling prospects for exploration and development subject to the conditions described above as well as additional financing. We can provide no assurances that additional financing will be available to us on terms satisfactory to us, if at all.

Acquisition or Disposition of Plant and Equipment
 
In addition to the assets described above, while we anticipate acquisitions of oil & gas properties, we do not anticipate the sale of any significant plant or equipment during the next twelve months other than computer equipment and peripherals used in our day-to-day operations.
 
Disposition of Assets

There were no sales or dispositions of assets during the quarter ended March 31, 2011. 

Product Research and Development
 
We do not anticipate performing research and development for any products during the next twelve months.

Number of Employees
 
From our inception through March 31, 2011, we have relied on the services of outside consultants and currently have one (1) full time employee and one (1) consultant. In order for us to attract and retain quality personnel, we anticipate we will have to offer competitive salaries to future employees. As we continue to expand, we will incur additional cost for personnel. This projected increase in personnel is dependent upon our generating revenues and obtaining sources of financing. There is no guarantee that we will be successful in raising the funds required or generating revenues sufficient to fund the projected increase in the number of employees.

Working Capital Activities

In March, 2011 the Company sold common stock Units in a private placement. Each full Unit’s cost was $30,000 and consisted of 1,000,000 shares of common stock and 1,000,000 stock purchase warrants. The warrants are exercisable over a period of one year from their issue date at a price of $0.05 per share. The Company sold a total of 2.25 units totaling 2,250,000 shares and issued 2,250,000 warrants for net proceeds of $67,500 to three accredited investors.

For more detailed information on the foregoing transactions see the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
 
Recent Developments
 
During the last two years several of our directors and officers have been involved in transactions with us and have had contractual relationships with us.  These are described in the Consolidated Financial Statements “Related Party Transactions.”

Competition
 
The oil and gas business is highly competitive. We will compete with private, public and state-owned companies in all facets of the oil business, including suppliers of energy and fuel to industrial, commercial and individual customers. Numerous independent oil and gas companies, oil and gas syndicates and major oil and gas companies actively seek out and bid for oil and gas prospects and properties as well as for the services of third-party providers, such as drilling companies, upon which we rely. Many of these companies not only explore for, produce and market oil and natural gas, but also carry out refining operations and market the resultant products on a worldwide basis. A substantial number of our competitors have longer operating histories and substantially greater financial and personnel resources than we do. Competitive conditions may be substantially affected by various forms of energy legislation and/or regulation considered from time to time by the government of the United States and other countries, as well as factors that we cannot control, including international political conditions, overall levels of supply and demand for oil and gas, and the markets for synthetic fuels and alternative energy sources.

The competition in the various individual services described hereinabove is intense. Factors in this competition include not only the speed and accuracy with which the Company can meet customer needs, but also the price of the services, quality of the product, historical experience with the client and complementary services. In the oil and gas business we compete with many large and experienced enterprises which have been in business for an extended period of time, have greater financial and other resources than we do at the present time. We can provide no assurances that we will be able to successfully compete in this highly competitive marketplace.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate significant estimates used in preparing our financial statements including those related to revenue recognition, guarantees and product warranties, stock based compensation and business combinations. We base our estimates on historical experience, underlying run rates and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The following are critical judgments, assumptions, and estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, if any, at the date of the financial statements. The Company analyzes its estimates, including those related to future oil and gas revenues and oil and gas properties, contingencies and litigation. The Company bases its estimates on assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The Company believes the following critical accounting policies affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements.

Investments in Unconsolidated Subsidiaries

Investee entities that the Company can exercise significant influence, but not control, are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Whether the Company exercises significant influence with respect to an investee depends on an evaluation of several factors, among others, representation of the company’s board of directors and ownership level, generally 20% to 50% interest in the voting securities of the company including voting rights associated with the Company’s holdings in common, preferred and other convertible instruments in the company. Under the equity method of accounting, the Company’s share of the earnings or losses of these companies is included in the equity income (loss) section of the consolidated statements of operations.
 
A loss in value of an investment that is other than a temporary decline is recognized as a charge to operations. Evidence of a loss in value might include, but would not necessarily be limited to, absence of an ability to recover the carrying amount of the investment or inability of the investee to sustain an earnings capacity that would justify the carrying amount of the investment.

 
21

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

We have adopted ASC 360 Property, Plant and Equipment. ASC 360 requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used by us be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Events relating to recoverability may include significant unfavorable changes in business conditions, recurring losses, or a forecasted inability to achieve break-even operating results over an extended period. We evaluate the recoverability of long-lived assets based upon forecasted undercounted cash flows. Should an impairment in value be indicated, the carrying value of intangible assets will be adjusted, based on estimates of future discounted cash flows resulting from the use and ultimate disposition of the asset. ASC 360 also requires assets to be disposed of be reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell.
 
Stock-Based Compensation

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model as its method of valuation for share-based awards granted. The Company’s determination of fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables.
 
These variables include, but are not limited to the Company’s expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, and certain other market variables such as the risk free interest rate. The Company measures and recognizes compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees, consultants and directors including employee stock options based on estimated fair values.  

Stock-based compensation expense recognized during the period is based on the value of the portion of share-based payment awards that is ultimately expected to vest during the period. Stock-based compensation expense recognized in the Company’s Consolidated statement of operations for the quarters ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 included compensation expense for share-based payment awards granted prior to March 31, 2010, but which vested in the quarter ending March 31, 2011 and 2010 respectively.

Marketable Securities

All investment securities are classified as either as available-for-sale or trading, and are carried at fair value or quoted market prices. Unrealized gains and on available-for-sale securities losses are reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Amortization, accretion, interest and dividends, realized gains and losses and declines in value judged to be other-than-temporary on available-for-sale securities are recorded in other income. ASC 320 - Investments - Debt and Equity, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities  and, Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 59,  Accounting for Noncurrent Marketable Equity Securities,  provide guidance on determining when an investment is other-than-temporarily impaired. This evaluation depends on the specific facts and circumstances. Factors that we consider in determining whether an other-than-temporary decline in value has occurred include: the market value of the security in relation to its cost basis; the financial condition of the investee; and the intent and ability to retain the investment for a sufficient period of time to allow for possible recovery in the market value of the investment.

Results of Operations
 
For The Three Month Period Ending March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010

The Company had no operating revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2011 or 2010.   
 
For the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company incurred a net loss of $109,600 versus a loss of $2,300 for the comparable period in 2010, an increased loss of $107,300 from the prior period.  The detailed reasons for this change are set forth below:

Total operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2011 were $109,600 versus $270,700 in the comparable three months ended March 31, 2010, a decrease of $161,100 from the prior comparable period.  Included in operating expenses in 2010 was an impairment of an oil and gas property of $2,500 compared with no impairment in 2011. Selling, general and administrative expenses declined in the quarter ended March 31, 2011 to $108,600 compared with $265,500 in the comparable period in 2010, a decrease of $156,800. The decrease was attributable to a reduction of $12,000 in director stock option expense, a decrease in legal and accounting fees of $48,000, and decreases in consultation fees of $60,800 and a reduction of other operating expenses of $36,000.
 
Net interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was less than $1,000 versus net interest income of $1,600 for the three months ended March 31, 2010.
 
The gain on sale of securities in the three months ended March 31, 2011was none versus a gain of $270,000 in the comparable period in 2010.

Unrealized loss on available for sale securities in the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $17,000 versus none in the comparable period in 2010.

The total comprehensive loss for the three months ending March 31, 2011 was $126,700 versus a loss of $115,800 in the corresponding period in 2010.
 
Future Operating Trends

Our future operations will depend available cash resources, additional financing and/or the possible sale of all or portions of our investments of our 3,202,332 Andora shares or our 107,843 Eleven Good Energy, Inc. warrants.

We are continuing to seek a liquidity event for our Andora shares to maximize their value.

We can provide no assurances that any additional financing will be satisfactory to us, if at all, or that we will be able to liquidate a portion of our investments should the need arise.

In July, 2010 the Company retained the services of Miller Tabak, LLC. for a period of one year to assist the Company in locating additional working capital and to explore other business opportunities. To date, the services of Miller Tabak have not resulted in any  accomplishments.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Current Position

As of March 31, 2011 our current assets consisted of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents on hand of $8,900, marketable securities of $85,000, production payments receivable of $215,000 and prepaid expenses of $6,400 totaling $315,600 versus current liabilities of $215,700, thereby creating a working capital surplus of $100,000.  Our total net current assets at March 31, 2011 were $100,000 versus a working capital surplus of $129,000 as of December 31, 2010. For the three months ended March 31, 2011 our net working capital declined by $29,000. At December 31, 2010, the Company had cash on hand of $500 and other investments, production payments receivable and prepaid expenses of $339,500 for total current assets of $340,000 and at that time, the Company had current liabilities of $211,000, which resulted in a working capital surplus of $129,000.

By reducing our operating expenses and planning acquisitions or dispositions of assets as necessary to manage the business properly and raising additional equity, the Company has in the past had sufficient capital resources to meet our continued cash flow deficits. However, if we are not successful in generating sufficient liquidity from operations and in raising capital through the sale of common stock on terms acceptable to us, this could have a material adverse affect on our business, results of operations and financial position.
 
We have a history of net losses and expect that our operating expenses will continue to deplete our cash reserves as we have no revenues.  Our business model contemplates expansion of our business by identifying and acquiring additional oil and gas properties.  To make these acquisitions, our capital needs will increase substantially.  We have limited working capital and cash resources to fund our oil and gas exploration. We plan to attempt to obtain our future funding that we will need to drill wells on leases owned, to lease additional properties and to otherwise finance our oil and gas operations through debt and equity markets or joint venture agreements with third parties; however, we can provide no assurances that we will be able to obtain additional funding (and/or joint venture partners willing to fund specific exploration projects) when it is required or that it will be available to us on commercially acceptable terms, if at all.  If we fail to obtain the financing that we need when it is required, we may have to forego or delay potentially valuable opportunities to acquire new oil and gas properties or default on existing funding commitments to third parties and forfeit or dilute our rights in existing oil property interests. In the event additional financing is not available to us on commercially acceptable terms, if and when needed to finance our oil and gas operations and to meet our cash needs as they come due, this may seriously harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The Company is seeking possible merger or acquisition candidates which can be obtained through the issuance of common or preferred shares.

Inflation

Our opinion is that inflation has not had a material effect on our operations. Inflation will increase operating expenses but since the Company’s Andora investment has significant oil reserves, such reserves should increase as oil prices increase due to inflation and market forces, which will in turn increase the value of our Andora shares.   

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
The Company does not maintain off-balance sheet arrangements nor does it participate in non-exchange traded contracts requiring fair value accounting treatment.

 
Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, stock and commodity prices. The Company does not have any financial instruments held for trading or other speculative purposes and does not invest in derivative financial instruments, interest rate swaps or other investments that alter interest rate exposure, except that we own equity securities in a private company held for long term investment and we hold equity securities in a publicly traded company whose value is marked to market on a quarterly basis. Our primary exposure to market risk is interest rate risk associated with our short term money market investments and the market price risk of our publicly traded investment. The Company does not have any credit facilities with variable interest rates.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management,  E. Jamie Schloss our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of, E. Jamie Schloss our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b). Based upon this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report were ineffective and there was a material weakness due to insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements and ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our adequate internal control over financial reporting, as that term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the management is responsible for establishing and maintaining preparation of financial statements for external purposes consistent with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.
 
Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, namely, E. Jamie Schloss, evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2011. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control — Integrated Framework. Based on this evaluation, Mr. Schloss concluded that, as of December 31, 2010, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective due to material weaknesses in the system of internal control. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, that creates a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected in a timely manner.
 
The material weakness assessed by our management was that (1) we have not properly segregated duties as our chief executive officer/chief financial officer who are one in the same person initiate, authorize, and complete all transactions, and (2) we have not implemented measures that would prevent the chief executive officer/chief financial officer from overriding the internal control system. We do not believe that these control weaknesses have resulted in deficient financial reporting because the chief executive officer/chief financial officer is aware of his responsibilities under the SEC’s reporting requirements and personally certify our financial reports.
 
Accordingly, while we have identified certain material weaknesses in our system of internal control over financial reporting, we believe we have taken reasonable steps to ascertain that the financial information contained in this report is in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our management has determined that current resources would be appropriately applied elsewhere and when resources permit, it will address and remediate material weaknesses through implementing various controls or changes to controls. At such time as we have additional financial resources available to us, we intend to enhance our controls and procedures. We will not be able to assess whether the steps we intend to take will fully remedy the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting until we have fully implemented them and sufficient time passes in order to evaluate their effectiveness.
 
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting, known to the principal executive officer and principal financial officer that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2011 that have materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

The Company’s business and operations may subject the Company to claims, litigation and other proceedings brought by private parties and governmental authorities. The Company has in the past been involved in contract and indemnity disputes in several litigation matters. Currently there is one open matter involving a contract dispute, Litigation can involve complex factual and legal questions and its outcome is uncertain. Any claim that is successfully asserted against us could result in significant damage claims and other losses and could adversely affect our financial condition. Even if the Company were to prevail, any litigation could be costly and time-consuming and would divert the attention of our management and key personnel from our business operations, which adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

There are no pending open litigation matters affecting the Company.

In a prior legal matter, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Surge Energy Resources, Inc., incurred a default judgment against it in a litigation matter with Three Span Oil & Gas Litigation, the details of which are as follows:
 
On September 30, 2009, the Company’s wholly owned Nevada subsidiary, namely, Surge Energy Resources, Inc., was sued by Three Span Oil & Gas, Inc, in Midland Texas (Case #CC15386) for nonpayment of $60,125.  The action arises out of an operating agreement between the Plaintiff and the Defendant pursuant to which Surge Energy Resources is alleged to have agreed to make certain payments of $20,000 on August 14, 2009, September 1, 2009 and October 1, 2009 until a $56,239 deficiency was paid.  The action against Surge Energy Resources was for breach of contract, plus attorneys’ fees.

A default judgment was entered into against Surge Energy Resources, Inc. for $60,125 plus fees in December, 2009.

The entire amount of this claim was accrued by Surge Energy Resources, Inc. as of March 31, 2011.

Surge Energy Resources, Inc. has no material assets or operations.
 

Risk Factors:
 
Our business has many risks. Factors that could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results or liquidity and the trading price of our common stock are described in more detail under “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of our 2010 Form 10-K. This information should be considered carefully, together with other information in this report and other reports and materials we file with the SEC.
 
Loss of Investment Company Act Exclusion Would Adversely Effect Our Business

Surge Global Energy (“Surge”) currently relies on section 3(c)(9) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”) to avoid federal registration and regulation as an investment company. Section 3(c)(9) excludes from the 1940 act’s definition on investment company “[a]ny person substantially all of whose business consists of owning or holding oil, gas, or other mineral royalties or leases, or fractional interests therein, or certificates of interest or participation in or investment contracts related to such mineral royalties or leases, or fractional interests therein relative to such royalties, leases, or fractional interests.”

Any future failure by Surge to qualify for the section 3(c)(9) exclusion, or any other exemption or exclusion from the 1940 Act or the rules thereunder, could cause Surge to be required to register with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as an investment company under the 1940 Act or to reorganize its business so as to avoid such registration and regulation. Regulation and registration as an investment company under the 1940 Act and the rules thereunder would, among other things, prevent Surge from conducting its business as described herein.
