PART I

ITEM 1.
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Organization

Bering Exploration Inc., (formerly China Development Group, Inc. (CDG), formerly, Oncolin Therapeutics, Inc. (Oncolin), formerly, Edgeline Holdings, Inc. (Edgeline), formerly, Dragon Gold Resources, Inc., (Dragon Gold) was incorporated in Nevada on December 13, 2000 under the name “Folix Technologies, Inc.”  Effective June 14, 2004, the Company changed its name to Dragon Gold Resources, Inc.  The Company's principal business was the development of a Linux based application server and thin client computing systems.  During the year ended March 31, 2005, the Company entered the mineral resource exploration business through the acquisition of a 100% interest in Dragon Minerals Holdings Inc. (“DMHI”), a private British Virgin Island company.  DMHI is involved in mineral property acquisition and exploration in China.  On May 5, 2006, the Company and DMHI terminated their agreement dated July 14, 2004.  On June 19, 2007, the shareholders approved a change in the Company’s name to Edgeline Holdings, Inc. and on March 7, 2008 to Oncolin Therapeutics, Inc.

On May 18, 2010, the Board of Directors and the Majority Shareholders approved an Amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation to change the Company’scorporate name to China Development Group, Inc.(the “June Name Change”) and a 1-for-20 reverse split of the issued and outstanding Common Stock (the “Reverse Split”).  

On July 31, 2010, the Board of Directors and the Majority Shareholders approved an Amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation to change the Company’s corporate name to Bering Exploration, Inc.  This name change and the Reverse Split became effective on September 9, 2010.

As of March 31, 2011, Bering Exploration, Inc. had two wholly-owned subsidiaries as follows:

 
·
Secure Voice Communications, Inc. (“Secure Voice”) – This subsidiary was incorporated in the State of Texas on May 9, 2007, with the initial primary focus being the development and readying for market a SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) based approach to defending voice traffic and voice packets against deliberate attacks such as DoS (Denial of Service) developing information.

 
·
Bering Exploration (Texas), Inc. (formerly New Enersource, Inc.).  This subsidiary was incorporated in the State of Texas on August 28, 2007, with the primary purpose to engage in oil and gas exploration projects.

Intertech Bio Corporation (“Intertech Bio”) was incorporated in the State of Texas on August 8, 2007.  Its primary purpose was to focus on developing products to treat cancer, infectious diseases and other medical conditions associated with compromised immune systems. On February 23, 2009, the Company distributed 75% of their ownership in Intertech Bio in exchange for the assumption of certain liabilities and future obligations associated with the ongoing operations of Intertech Bio.  Bering will retain an approximate 25% interest in Intertech Bio and will not be responsible for future costs associated with Intertech Bio.

Business Strategy

Prior to July 2010, the Company was engaged in the research and development of therapeutic drugs for the treatment of cancer.  In July 2010, the Company determined to primarily focus its business on the exploration, acquisition, development, production and sale of natural gas, crude oil and natural gas liquids from conventional reservoirs within the United States.   We have a 5% back end after payout working interest in a single well being drilled in South Texas, along the Texas Gulf Coast.

In addition, the Company owns 25% of Intertech Bio, which is developing products to treat cancer, infectious diseases and other medical conditions associated with compromised immune systems.  The Company is not actively involved in the management of Intertech Bio.

Currently, the Company is a developmental stage company focused on investing in and acquiring oil and gas reserves within the United States.  The Company’s strategy consists of the following key elements:

· Acquire onshore domestic production and drilling opportunities;
· Initiate development drilling program;
· Initial focus on drilling prospect along Gulf Coast;
· Exploit Management Team’s experience in this region.

In September 2010, the Company obtained a 5% back end after payout working interest in a single well being drilled in South Texas, along the Texas Gulf Coast. The well was successfully completed and is producing natural gas.  The operator of the well estimates that payout will be achieved in eighteen months, at which time the Company’s net working interest will be established.  Until such time as payout is achieved, the Company has not rights to the production from this well and accordingly, has not recognized any oil and gas reserves from this well.

In February 2011, the Company entered into a three year exclusive exploration agreement with Glaux Oil & Gas, LLC (Glaux) for the development of numerous leads and prospects in approximately 500,000 gross acres in West Texas.  Glaux has identified approximately 25 leads and prospects in the area and will work exclusively with the Company to develop these prospects using Glaux’s access to exploratory leads that were identified using a proprietary aeromagnetic survey and other advanced oil finding technologies such as telluric and seismic.  Subject to the terms of the agreement, once each of these prospects is developed Bering will be able to choose whether or not to lease the mineral rights and proceed to the drilling of the prospect. To date, the Company has not leased any mineral rights for any of the identified prospects.

In March 2011, the Company leased the mineral rights to approximately 1,300 acres in Central Texas.  The Company has retained a contract geologist to evaluate the acreage and select a suitable drilling location.

We are currently evaluating additional mineral rights and drilling opportunities to acquire.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY / RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
 
We have no intellectual property such as patents or trademarks. Additionally, we have no royalty agreements or labor contracts.  We have not incurred any research or development expenditures since our inception on November 26, 2007.

Employees

We currently have one full time and one part time employee.  Our daily activities are currently managed by Steven Plumb, who serves as our CFO and Jerry Walters who serves as our operations manager. In order to implement our business plan, we will be required to employ additional qualified technical and administrative employees or retain the services of qualified consultants with the technical expertise to evaluate the technologies which we are seeking.

Competition

The oil and gas industry is intensely competitive.  We compete with numerous individuals and companies, including many major oil and gas companies, which have substantially greater technical, financial, and operational resources and staffs.  Accordingly, there is a high degree of competition for desirable oil and gas leases, suitable properties for drilling operations, and necessary drilling equipment, as well as for access to funds

 
Insurance

We currently do not have any insurance coverage to cover losses or risks incurred in the ordinary course of business.

Dependence on Major Customers

We currently have no customers.

Item IA. Risk Factors

The Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected if any of these risks materialized, which could result in the trading price of our common stock to decline.

Risks Related to Our Business and Our Marketplace
 
There is no assurance that we will operate profitably or will generate positive cash flow in the future.
 
If we cannot generate positive cash flow in the future, or raise sufficient financing to continue our normal operations, then we may be forced to scale down or even close our operations.  In particular, additional capital may be required in the event that:
 
 
drilling and completion costs for further wells increase beyond our expectations; or
 
 
we encounter greater costs associated with general and administrative expenses or offering costs.
 
The occurrence of any of the aforementioned events could adversely affect our ability to meet our business plan.
 
We will depend almost exclusively on outside capital to pay for the continued exploration and development of our properties. Such outside capital may include the sale of additional stock and/or commercial borrowing. Capital may not continue to be available if necessary to meet these continuing exploration and development costs or, if capital is available, it may not be on terms acceptable to us. The issuance of additional equity securities by us would result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.

If we are unable to obtain financing in the amounts and on terms deemed acceptable to us, we may be unable to continue our business and as a result may be required to scale back or cease operations for our business, the result of which would be that our stockholders would lose some or all of their investment

A decline in the price of our common stock could affect our ability to raise further working capital and adversely impact our operations.
 
A prolonged decline in the price of our common stock could result in a reduction in the liquidity of our common stock and a reduction in our ability to raise capital.  Because our operations have been primarily financed through the sale of equity securities, a decline in the price of our common stock could be especially detrimental to our liquidity and our continued operations.  Any reduction in our ability to raise equity capital in the future would force us to reallocate funds from other planned uses and would have a significant negative effect on our business plans and operations, including our ability to develop new projects and continue our current operations.  If our stock price declines, we may not be able to raise additional capital or generate funds from operations sufficient to meet our obligations.

The Company’s stock price is highly volatile.

The market price of the Company's common stock has fluctuated and may continue to fluctuate.  These fluctuations may be exaggerated since the trading volume of its common stock is volatile.  These fluctuations may or may not be based upon any business or operating results.  Its common stock may experience similar or even more dramatic price and volume fluctuations in the future.

If we are not successful in continuing to grow our business, then we may have to scale back or even cease our ongoing business operations.
 
Our success is significantly dependent on a successful acquisition, drilling, completion, and production program.  We may be unable to locate recoverable reserves or operate on a profitable basis.  If our business plan is not successful, and we are not able to operate profitably, investors may lose some or all of their investment in us.

 
6

 
 
Trading of our stock may be restricted by the SEC’s “Penny Stock” regulations, which may limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.
 
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted regulations that generally define “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions.  Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers or “accredited investors.”  The term “accredited investor” refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with his or her spouse.  The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market.  The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account.  The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer’s confirmation.  In addition, the penny stock rules require that, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction.  These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules.  Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities.  We believe that the penny stock rules may discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of, our common stock.

NASD sales practice requirements may also limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.
 
In addition to the “penny stock” rules described above, the NASD has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer.  Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information.  Under interpretations of these rules, the NASD believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers.  The NASD requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.

Trading in our common shares on the OTC Bulletin Board has been volatile, making it more difficult for our stockholders to sell their shares or liquidate their investments with predictability.
 
Our common shares are currently quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board.  The trading price of our common shares has been subject to wide fluctuations.  Trading prices of our common shares may fluctuate in response to a number of factors, many of which will be beyond our control.  The stock market has generally experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of companies with no current business operation.  There can be no assurance that trading prices and price earnings ratios previously experienced by our common shares will be matched or maintained.  These broad market and industry factors may adversely affect the market price of our common shares, regardless of our operating performance.
 
In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities, securities class-action litigation has often been instituted.  Such litigation, if instituted, could result in substantial costs for us and a diversion of management’s attention and resources.

As substantially all of our properties are in the exploration stage, there can be no assurance that we will establish commercial discoveries on our properties.
 
Exploration for economic reserves of oil and gas is subject to a number of risk factors.  Few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing oil and/or gas wells.  Our properties are in the exploration stage only and are without proven reserves of oil and gas.  We may not establish commercial discoveries on any of our properties

 
7

 
 
The potential profitability of oil and gas ventures depends upon factors beyond our control.
 
The potential profitability of oil and gas properties is dependent upon many factors beyond our control.  For instance, world prices and markets for oil and gas are unpredictable, highly volatile, potentially subject to governmental fixing, pegging, controls, or any combination of these and other factors, and respond to changes in domestic, international, political, social, and economic environments.  Additionally, due to worldwide economic uncertainty, the availability and cost of funds for production and other expenses have become increasingly difficult, if not impossible, to project.  These changes and events will likely materially affect our financial performance.
 
Adverse weather conditions can also hinder drilling operations.  A productive well may become uneconomic in the event water or other deleterious substances are encountered that impair or prevent the production of oil and/or gas from the well.  In addition, production from any well may be unmarketable if it is impregnated with water or other deleterious substances.  The marketability of oil and gas that may be acquired or discovered will be affected by numerous factors beyond our control.  These factors include the proximity and capacity of oil and gas pipelines and processing equipment, market fluctuations of prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, allowable production, and environmental protection.  These factors cannot be accurately predicted and the combination of these factors may result in us not receiving an adequate return on invested capital.

Competition in the oil and gas industry is highly competitive and there is no assurance that we will be successful in acquiring properties or leases.
 
The oil and gas industry is intensely competitive.  We compete with numerous individuals and companies, including many major oil and gas companies that have substantially greater technical, financial, and operational resources and staffs.  Accordingly, there is a high degree of competition for desirable oil and gas leases, suitable properties for drilling operations, and necessary drilling equipment, as well as for access to funds.  We cannot predict if the necessary funds can be raised or that any projected work will be completed.  Our budget anticipates our acquisition of additional acreage.  This acreage may not become available or, if it is available for leasing, we may not be successful in acquiring the leases.  There are other competitors that have operations in areas of potential interest to us and the presence of these competitors could adversely affect our ability to acquire additional leases.
 
The marketability of natural resources will be affected by numerous factors beyond our control, which may result in us not receiving an adequate return on invested capital to be profitable or viable.
 
The marketability of natural resources that may be acquired or discovered by us will be affected by numerous factors beyond our control.  These factors include market fluctuations in oil and gas pricing and demand, the proximity and capacity of natural resource markets and processing equipment, land tenure, land use, and governmental regulations, including regulations concerning the importing and exporting of oil and gas and environmental protection regulations.  The exact effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted, but the combination of these factors may result in us not receiving an adequate return on invested capital to be profitable or viable.

Oil and gas operations are subject to comprehensive regulation, which may cause substantial delays or require capital outlays in excess of those anticipated, causing an adverse effect on us.
 
Oil and gas operations are subject to federal, state, and local laws relating to the protection of the environment, including laws regulating removal of natural resources from the ground and the discharge of materials into the environment.  Oil and gas operations are also subject to federal, state, and local laws and regulations which seek to maintain health and safety standards by regulating the design and use of drilling methods and equipment.  Various permits from government bodies are required for drilling operations to be conducted; no assurance can be given that such permits will be received.  Environmental standards imposed by federal, provincial, or local authorities may be changed and any such changes may have material adverse effects on our activities.  Moreover, compliance with such laws may cause substantial delays or require capital outlays in excess of those anticipated, thus causing an adverse effect on us.  Additionally, we may be subject to liability for pollution or other environmental damages that we may elect not to insure against due to prohibitive premium costs and other reasons.  To date, we have not been required to spend any material amount on compliance with environmental regulations.  However, we may be required to do so in future and this may affect our ability to expand or maintain our operations.

Exploration and production activities are subject to certain environmental regulations, which may prevent or delay the commencement or continuance of our operations.
 
In general, our exploration and production activities are subject to certain federal, state, and local laws and regulations relating to environmental quality and pollution control.  Such laws and regulations increase the costs of these activities and may prevent or delay the commencement or continuance of a given operation.  Compliance with these laws and regulations has not had a material effect on our operations or financial condition to date.  Specifically, we are subject to legislation regarding emissions into the environment, water discharges, and storage and disposition of hazardous wastes.  In addition, legislation has been enacted which requires well and facility sites to be abandoned and reclaimed to the satisfaction of state authorities.  However, such laws and regulations are frequently changed and we are unable to predict the ultimate cost of compliance.  Generally, environmental requirements do not appear to affect us any differently or to any greater or lesser extent than other companies in the industry.

 
8

 
 
Exploratory drilling involves many risks and we may become liable for pollution or other liabilities, which may have an adverse effect on our financial position.
 
Drilling operations generally involve a high degree of risk.  Hazards such as unusual or unexpected geological formations, power outages, labor disruptions, blow-outs, sour gas leakage, fire, inability to obtain suitable or adequate machinery, equipment or labor, and other risks are involved.  We may become subject to liability for pollution or hazards against which we cannot adequately insure or for which we may elect not to insure.  Incurring any such liability may have a material adverse effect on our financial position and operations.
 
Any change to government regulation/administrative practices may have a negative impact on our ability to operate and our profitability.
 
The laws, regulations, policies, or current administrative practices of any government body, organization, or regulatory agency in the United States or any other jurisdiction may be changed, applied, or interpreted in a manner that will fundamentally alter the ability of our company to carry on our business.  The actions, policies, or regulations, or changes thereto, of any government body, regulatory agency, or special interest groups may have a detrimental effect on us.  Any or all of these situations may have a negative impact on our ability to operate and/or our profitably.

Climate change legislation or regulations restricting emissions of “greenhouse gases” could result in increased operating costs and reduced demand for the oil and natural gas that we produce.
 
On December 15, 2009, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA, published its findings that emissions of carbon dioxide, or CO2 , methane, and other greenhouse gases, or GHGs, present an endangerment to public heath and the environment because emissions of such gases are, according to the EPA, contributing to the warming of the earth’s atmosphere and other climate changes.  These findings allow the EPA to adopt and implement regulations that would restrict emissions of GHGs under existing provisions of the Federal Clean Air Act.  The EPA has adopted two sets of regulations under the existing Clean Air Act that would require a reduction in emissions of GHGs from motor vehicles and could trigger permit review for GHG emissions from certain stationary sources.  In addition, in April 2010, the EPA proposed to expand its existing GHG reporting rule to include onshore oil and natural gas production, processing, transmission, storage, and distribution facilities.  If the proposed rule is finalized as proposed, reporting of GHG emissions from such facilities would be required on an annual basis, with reporting beginning in 2012 for emissions occurring in 2011.

Federal and state legislative and regulatory initiatives relating to hydraulic fracturing could result in increased costs and additional operating restrictions or delays.
 
Hydraulic fracturing is a process used by oil and natural gas exploration and production operators in the completion or re-working of certain oil and natural gas wells, whereby water, sand, and chemicals are injected under pressure into subsurface formations to stimulate natural gas and, to a lesser extent, oil production.  This process is typically regulated by state oil and natural gas agencies and has not been subject to Federal regulation.  However, due to concerns that hydraulic fracturing may adversely affect drinking water supplies, the EPA has commenced a study of the potential adverse effects that hydraulic fracturing may have on water quality and public health, and a committee of the U.S. House of Representatives has commenced its own investigation into hydraulic fracturing practices.  Additionally, legislation has been introduced in Congress to amend the Federal Safe Drinking Water Act to subject hydraulic fracturing processes to regulation under that Act and to require the disclosure of chemicals used by the oil and natural gas industry in the hydraulic fracturing process.  If enacted, such a provision could require hydraulic fracturing activities to meet permitting and financial assurance requirements, adhere to certain construction specifications, fulfill monitoring, reporting, and recordkeeping requirements, and meet plugging and abandonment requirements.

Additional capital may dilute current stockholders.

In order to provide capital for the operation of the Company’s business, it may enter into additional financing arrangements.  These arrangements may involve the issuance of new common stock, preferred stock that is convertible into common stock, debt securities that are convertible into common stock or warrants for the purchase of common stock.  Any of these items could result in a material increase in the number of shares of common stock outstanding which would in turn result in a dilution of the ownership interest of existing common shareholders.  In addition, these new securities could contain provisions, such as priorities on distributions and voting rights, which could affect the value of the Company’s existing common stock.

A low market price may severely limit the potential market for the Company’s common stock.

The Company’s common stock is currently trading at a price below $5.00 per share, subjecting trading in the stock to certain SEC rules requiring additional disclosures by broker-dealers.  These rules generally apply to any non-Nasdaq equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions (a “penny stock”).

The Company is unlikely to pay dividends on its common stock.

The Company does not anticipate paying any cash dividends on its common stock in the foreseeable future.  While its dividend policy will be based on its operating results and capital needs, the Company anticipates that all earnings, if any, will be retained to finance its future operations.

The OTC Bulletin Board securities are not listed and traded on the floor of an organized national or regional stock exchange. Instead, OTC Bulletin Board securities transactions are conducted through a telephone and computer network connecting dealers in stocks. OTC Bulletin Board stocks are traditionally smaller companies that do not meet the financial and other listing requirements of a regional or national stock exchange.
 
As of July 13, 2011 we have 3,131 holders of record of our common stock.

DIVIDENDS.

There are no restrictions in our articles of incorporation or bylaws that restrict us from declaring dividends. The Nevada Revised Statutes, however, do prohibit us from declaring dividends where, after giving effect to the distribution of the dividend:
 
 
1.
we would not be able to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business; or
 
2.
our total assets would be less than the sum of our total liabilities, plus the amount that would be needed to satisfy the rights of shareholders who have preferential rights superior to those receiving the distribution.
 
We have not declared any dividends. We do not plan to declare any dividends in the foreseeable future.

ITEM 7.
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

Overview

As a development stage company, substantially all of our efforts will be devoted to performing exploratory drilling activities, raising capital and recruiting and training personnel.

Results of Operations – April 1, 2010 to March 31, 2011
The Company has had no revenue for the period from April 1, 2010 through March 31, 2011.

The Company’s expenses totaled $610,878 from April 1, 2010 through March 31, 2011, which were primarily comprised of compensation and related expenses of $449,761, professional fees of $77,125, interest expense of $55,204 and investor relations expenses of $18,702.

The Company’s net operating loss for the period from April 1, 2010 through March 31, 2011 was $556,637 or $0.02 per share (basic and diluted).

Results of Operations – April 1, 2009 to March 31, 2010

The Company has had no revenue for the period from April 1, 2009 through March 31, 2010.

The Company’s expenses totaled $60,372 from April 1, 2009 through March 31, 2010, which were primarily comprised of professional fees of $42,693, compensation and related expenses of $6,400, interest expense of $9,498 and other general and administrative expenses of $1,781.

The Company’s net operating loss for the period from April 1, 2009 through March 31, 2010 was $60,372 or $0.00 per share (basic and diluted).
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Our liquidity is dependent, in the short term, on proceeds from newly issued debt and the sale of our common stock for cash. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has accumulated losses since inception and has negative working capital. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
 
As of March 31, 2011, the Company had cash in non-restrictive accounts of $531,933 and negative working capital of $485,095.

Net cash used in operating activities was $127,956.   The Company experienced an increase in accrued liabilities of $13,242 and a decrease in accounts payable of $10,452.

For the period, cash provided by financing activities totaled $930,179.

Off-balance sheet arrangements
 
We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.
 
Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Bering Exploration, Inc. (a Nevada corporation) and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Secure Voice and Bering (Texas) Explorations Inc. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Oil and Natural Gas Properties

We account for our oil and natural gas producing activities using the full cost method of accounting as prescribed by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Under this method, subject to a limitation based on estimated value, all costs incurred in the acquisition, exploration, and development of proved oil and natural gas properties, including internal costs directly associated with acquisition, exploration, and development activities, the costs of abandoned properties, dry holes, geophysical costs, and annual lease rentals are capitalized within a cost center on a country by country basis.  Costs of production and general and administrative corporate costs unrelated to acquisition, exploration, and development activities are expensed as incurred.

Costs associated with unevaluated properties are capitalized as oil and natural gas properties but are excluded from the amortization base during the evaluation period. When we determine whether the property has proved recoverable reserves or not, or if there is an impairment, the costs are transferred into the amortization base and thereby become subject to amortization.  We evaluate unevaluated properties for impairment at least annually.

 
12

 
 
Capitalized costs included in the amortization base are depleted using the units of production method based on proved reserves.  Depletion is calculated using the capitalized costs included in the amortization base, including estimated asset retirement costs, plus the estimated future expenditures to be incurred in developing proved reserves, net of estimated salvage values.

The net book value of all capitalized oil and natural gas properties within a cost center, less related deferred income taxes, is subject to a full cost ceiling limitation which is calculated quarterly.  Under the ceiling limitation, costs may not exceed an aggregate of the present value of future net revenues attributable to proved oil and natural gas reserves discounted at 10 percent using current prices, plus the lower of cost or market value of unproved properties included in the amortization base, plus the cost of unevaluated properties, less any associated tax effects.  Any excess of the net book value, less related deferred tax benefits, over the ceiling is written off as expense. Impairment expense recorded in one period may not be reversed in a subsequent period even though higher oil and gas prices may have increased the ceiling applicable to the subsequent period.
 
Sales or other dispositions of oil and natural gas properties are accounted for as adjustments to capitalized costs, with no gain or loss recorded unless the ratio of cost to proved reserves would significantly change. 
 
 
13

 
 
Asset Retirement Obligation

We record the fair value of an asset retirement cost, and corresponding liability as part of the cost of the related long-lived asset and the cost is subsequently allocated to expense using a systematic and rational method. We record an asset retirement obligation to reflect our legal obligations related to future plugging and abandonment of our oil and natural gas wells and gas gathering systems. We estimate the expected cash flow associated with the obligation and discount the amount using a credit-adjusted, risk-free interest rate. At least annually, we reassess the obligation to determine whether a change in the estimated obligation is necessary. We evaluate whether there are indicators that suggest the estimated cash flows underlying the obligation have materially changed. Should those indicators suggest the estimated obligation may have materially changed on an interim basis (quarterly), we will accordingly update its assessment. Additional retirement obligations increase the liability associated with new oil and natural gas wells and gas gathering systems as these obligations are incurred. As of March 31, 2011, the Company has not recorded any asset retirement obligations since the related oil and gas properties are still unproved.

Use of Estimates
 
In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC 718, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payments made to employees and directors based on estimated fair values. Share-based payments awarded to non-employees are accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC 505-50, “Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Connection with Selling, Goods or Services.”
 
FASB ASC 718 requires companies to estimate the fair value of equity share option awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations.
 
Stock-based compensation expense recognized is based on the value of the portion of equity share option award that is ultimately expected to vest. The Company generally attributes the value of stock-based compensation to expense using the straight-line method.
 
The Company estimates fair value of equity share option awards using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing formula (“Black-Scholes model”). This model requires the Company to estimate expected volatility and expected life, which are highly complex and subjective variables. The Company estimates expected term using the safe-harbor provisions of FASB ASC 718, “Share-Based Payment.” The Company estimated its expected volatility by taking the average volatility determined for a peer group of similar publicly-traded companies.

 
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
We do not use derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio and have no foreign exchange contracts.  Our financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable and accounts payable.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Bering Exploration Inc. (formerly Oncolin Therapeutics, Inc.)
(A Development Stage Company)
Houston, Texas

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Bering Exploration, Inc. and its subsidiaries (formerly Oncolin Therapeutics, Inc.) (the “Company”) as of March 31, 2011 and 2010 and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' deficit and cash flows for the years then ended and for the period from May 9, 2007, (inception) through March 31, 2011.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.  

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Bering Exploration, Inc. and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended and for the period from May 9, 2007, (inception) through March 31, 2011 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has never generated any revenue and has negative working capital.  These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

BERING EXPLORATION, INC.AND SUBSIDIARIES
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. 
Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

Organization and Nature of Business

Bering Exploration Inc., (formerly China Development Group, Inc. (CDG), formerly, Oncolin Therapeutics, Inc. (Oncolin), formerly, Edgeline Holdings, Inc. (Edgeline), formerly, Dragon Gold Resources, Inc., (Dragon Gold)) (“We”, “Our” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of Nevada on December 13, 2000.

Effective May 9, 2007, Dragon Gold Resources, Inc. completed a reverse merger with Secure Voice Communications, Inc., a Texas corporation (“Secure Voice”).  As a result of the transaction, Secure Voice became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dragon Gold when Dragon Gold agreed to issue an aggregate of 3,207,840,000 shares of its common stock (pre-reverse split) to the former shareholders of Secure Voice (in exchange for all the outstanding capital stock of Secure Voice), resulting in the former shareholders of Secure Voice owning approximately 98.5% of the issued and outstanding Dragon Gold common stock.  As the articles of incorporation only authorized the issuance of 500,000,000 shares of common stock, Dragon Gold issued 450,053,276 shares of common stock (pre-reverse split) and was obligated to issue an additional 2,757,786,724 shares of common stock (pre-reverse split).  At the annual shareholders’ meeting which was held on June 19, 2007, the shareholders approved an 80-for-1 reverse split that did not reduce the number of authorized shares of common stock.  Upon the approval of the 80-for-1 reverse split, Dragon Gold issued the balance of these shares which equated to 34,472,334 shares on a post-split basis.

On February 15, 2008, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to change the par value of the Company’s Common Stock from $0.08 to $0.001, to authorize 25,000,000 shares of blank-check preferred stock and to change the name of the Company from “Edgeline Holdings, Inc.” to “Oncolin Therapeutics, Inc.  The accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes give retroactive effect to the change in par value.

On May 18, 2010, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to change the name of the Company from “Oncolin Therapeutics, Inc.” to “China Development Group, Inc. and implement a 20-for-1 reverse stock split of the issued and outstanding common stock. The accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes give effect to the reverse stock split as of inception (May 9, 2007).

On July 31, 2010, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to change the name of the Company from “Oncolin Therapeutics, Inc.” to “Bering Exploration, Inc.”

The Company has two wholly-owned subsidiaries as follows:

· Secure Voice Communications, Inc. (Texas) – This subsidiary was incorporated in the State of Texas on May 9, 2007, with the initial primary focus being the development and readying for market a SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) based approach to defending voice traffic and voice packets against deliberate attacks such as DoS (Denial of Service) developing information.

· Bering Exploration (Texas), Inc., formerly, New Enersource, Inc. (“New Enersource”), (“Bering TX”) – This subsidiary was incorporated in the State of Texas on August 28, 2007, with the primary purpose to engage in enhanced oil recovery (“EOR”) projects.  On August 20, 2011, New Enersource amended its Articles of Incorporation to change the name of New Enersource to Bering Exploration (Texas), Inc.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Bering Exploration, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Secure Voice Communications, Inc. (Texas) and Bering TX. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

 
F-6

 
 
Oil and Natural Gas Properties

We account for our oil and natural gas producing activities using the full cost method of accounting as prescribed by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Under this method, subject to a limitation based on estimated value, all costs incurred in the acquisition, exploration, and development of proved oil and natural gas properties, including internal costs directly associated with acquisition, exploration, and development activities, the costs of abandoned properties, dry holes, geophysical costs, and annual lease rentals are capitalized within a cost center on a country by country basis.  Costs of production and general and administrative corporate costs unrelated to acquisition, exploration, and development activities are expensed as incurred.

Costs associated with unevaluated properties are capitalized as oil and natural gas properties but are excluded from the amortization base during the evaluation period. When we determine whether the property has proved recoverable reserves or not, or if there is an impairment, the costs are transferred into the amortization base and thereby become subject to amortization.  We evaluate unevaluated properties for impairment at least annually.

Capitalized costs included in the amortization base are depleted using the units of production method based on proved reserves.  Depletion is calculated using the capitalized costs included in the amortization base, including estimated asset retirement costs, plus the estimated future expenditures to be incurred in developing proved reserves, net of estimated salvage values.

The net book value of all capitalized oil and natural gas properties within a cost center, less related deferred income taxes, is subject to a full cost ceiling limitation which is calculated quarterly.  Under the ceiling limitation, costs may not exceed an aggregate of the present value of future net revenues attributable to proved oil and natural gas reserves discounted at 10 percent using current prices, plus the lower of cost or market value of unproved properties included in the amortization base, plus the cost of unevaluated properties, less any associated tax effects.  Any excess of the net book value, less related deferred tax benefits, over the ceiling is written off as expense. Impairment expense recorded in one period may not be reversed in a subsequent period even though higher oil and gas prices may have increased the ceiling applicable to the subsequent period.
 
Sales or other dispositions of oil and natural gas properties are accounted for as adjustments to capitalized costs, with no gain or loss recorded unless the ratio of cost to proved reserves would significantly change. 

 
F-7

 
 
Asset Retirement Obligation

We record the fair value of an asset retirement cost, and corresponding liability as part of the cost of the related long-lived asset and the cost is subsequently allocated to expense using a systematic and rational method. We record an asset retirement obligation to reflect our legal obligations related to future plugging and abandonment of our oil and natural gas wells and gas gathering systems. We estimate the expected cash flow associated with the obligation and discount the amount using a credit-adjusted, risk-free interest rate. At least annually, we reassess the obligation to determine whether a change in the estimated obligation is necessary. We evaluate whether there are indicators that suggest the estimated cash flows underlying the obligation have materially changed. Should those indicators suggest the estimated obligation may have materially changed on an interim basis (quarterly), we will accordingly update its assessment. Additional retirement obligations increase the liability associated with new oil and natural gas wells and gas gathering systems as these obligations are incurred.  As of March 31, 2011, the Company has not recorded any asset retirement obligations since the related oil and gas properties are still unproved.

Use of Estimates
 
In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Development stage

The Company complies with FASB ASC 915-15 for its characterization of the Company as development stage.
 
Cash and Cash equivalents
 
The Company considers all investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
 
Cash is maintained in bank accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and does not believe it is exposed to any significant credit risk on cash.

Property and Equipment
 
Property and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated using the straight line method over their estimated useful lives.  As of March 31, 2011, the property and equipment consisted of personal computers.

Long Lived Assets

The Company reviews long-lived assets whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of such assets may not be fully recoverable. The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets by measuring the carrying amounts of the assets against the estimatedundiscounted cash flows associated with these assets. If this evaluation indicates that the future undiscounted cash flows of certain long-lived assets are not sufficient to recover the assets’ carrying value, the assets are adjusted to their fair values (based upon discounted cash flows)

Loss per Share
 
In accordance with FASB ASC 260, “Earnings per Share”, basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Under ASC 260, diluted loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss for the period by the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares, such as stock options and warrants, outstanding during the period. Such common equivalent shares have not been included in the computation of net loss per share as their effect would be anti-dilutive.
 
Income Taxes

Income taxes are recorded in accordance with FASB ASC 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. This statement requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities to reflect the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the financial statements or tax returns. Measurement of the deferred items is based on enacted tax laws. In the event the future consequences of differences between financial reporting bases and tax bases of the Company's assets and liabilities result in a deferred tax asset, ASC 740 requires an evaluation of the probability of being able to realize the future benefits indicated by such assets. A valuation allowance related to a deferred tax asset is recorded when it is more likely than not that some portion or the entire deferred tax asset will not be realized.

The Company has not filed tax returns for 2007-2011. As of March 31, 2011, there is approximately $3,000,000 in accumulated losses for tax purposes. When the tax returns are completed, these losses will give rise to deferred tax assets, a significant portion of which are likely to be net operating loss carry forwards. Due to the May 30, 2007 reverse merger, these net operating loss deferred tax assets will be subject to limitations. Current tax laws limit the amount of loss available to be offset against future taxable income when a substantial change in ownership occurs. Therefore, the amount available to offset future taxable income may be limited. Because of these potential limitations and the Company’s history of losses, the Company has not recognized any deferred tax asset and has placed a full valuation allowance on such assets.

 
F-8

 
 
Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC 718, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payments made to employees and directors based on estimated fair values. Share-based payments awarded to non-employees are accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC 505-50, “Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Connection with Selling, Goods or Services.”
 
FASB ASC 718 requires companies to estimate the fair value of equity share option awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations.
 
Stock-based compensation expense recognized is based on the value of the portion of equity share option award that is ultimately expected to vest. The Company generally attributes the value of stock-based compensation to expense using the straight-line method.
 
The Company estimates fair value of equity share option awards using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing formula (“Black-Scholes model”). This model requires the Company to estimate expected volatility and expected life, which are highly complex and subjective variables. The Company estimates expected term using the safe-harbor provisions of FASB ASC 718, “Share-Based Payment.” The Company estimated its expected volatility by taking the average volatility determined for a peer group of similar publicly-traded companies.

 
F-9

 
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair values of  cash, accounts payable, accrued expenses, notes payable and convertible notes approximate their carrying values due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on their results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to conform the prior period’s financial information to the current period’s presentation. These reclassifications had noeffect on previously reported net loss or accumulated deficit.

Note 2.
Going Concern

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.  The Company has not generated revenue since its inception and is unlikely to generate earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future.  The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders and the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations and the attainment of profitable operations.  As of March 31, 2011, the Company has accumulated losses of $3,402,394 since inception and has negative working capital.  These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Income Taxes

The Company uses the liability method, where deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial and income tax reporting purposes. During fiscal 2011 and 2010, the Company incurred net losses and, therefore, has no tax liability. The net deferred tax asset generated by the loss carry-forward has been fully reserved. The cumulative net operating loss carry-forward is approximately $3.0 million and $2.9 million at March 31, 2011 and 2010,  respectively, and will expire beginning in 2028.

At March 31, 2011 and 2010 deferred tax assets consisted of the following:

Deconsolidation of Intertech Bio, Inc.

On February 24, 2009, the Company distributed its interest in Intertech Bio by assigning 75% of the Intertech Bio common stock to the founders of Intertec Bio in exchange for the assumption of certain liabilities and future obligations associated with the ongoing operations of Intertech Bio. The Company did not receive any consideration in the transaction. Since the Company no longer has a controlling interest in Intertech Bio, their assets, liabilities and operating results are no longer included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of February 24, 2009. As a result of the distribution, the Company recognized a gain on deconsolidation of $478,765 for the year ended March 31, 2009, which represents prepaid expenses of $13,334, accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $215,304 and a payable to the Company of $276,095, of Intertech Bio that were written off. For the period from February 24, 2009 through March 31, 2011, Intertech Bio had no significant activity and accordingly the Company did not recognize any income or loss from its equity method investment.

Commitments and contingencies

On February 7, 2011, the Company signed a three year exclusive exploration agreement with Glaux Oil & Gas, LLC (“Glaux”) for the development of numerous leads and prospects in approximately 500,000 gross acres in West Texas.  Glaux has identified approximately 25 leads and prospects in the area and will work exclusively with Bering to develop these prospects using Glaux’s access to exploratory leads that were identified using a proprietary aeromagnetic survey and other advanced oil finding technologies such as telluric and seismic.  Subject to the terms of the agreement, once each of these prospects is developed Bering will be able to choose whether or not to lease the mineral rights and proceed to the drilling of the prospect. In conjunction with this agreement, the Company will issue to Glaux a warrant to purchase 460,000 shares of common stock of the Company at $0.75 per share, vesting quarterly beginning May 8, 2011, and representing 50% of the quarterly retainer due to Glaux.  The term of the warrant is 5 years.
 
From time to time, the Company may be subject to routine litigation, claims, or disputes in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management; no pending or known threatened claims, actions or proceedings against the Company are expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The Company cannot predict with certainty, however, the outcome or effect of any of the litigation or investigatory matters specifically described above or any other pending litigation or claims. There can be no assurance as to the ultimate outcome of these lawsuits and investigations.

Subsequent Events

In June 2011, the Company issued options to purchase 150,000 shares of its common stock to a consultant for services rendered at prices ranging from $0.65 to $0.80 per share with a two year life, vesting immediately.  In June 2011, 100,000 options previously issued to a consultant with exercise prices ranging from $1.20 to $1.45 were repriced as follows: 25,000 shares exercisable at $0.75 per share and 75,000 shares exercisable at $0.80 per share.

In April 2011 and July 2011, the Company made principal payments totaling $15,302 to an officer of the Company on his outstanding convertible note payable.

ITEM 9A.
MANAGEMENT'S ANNUAL REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of March 31, 2011. Based upon such evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer has concluded that, as of March 31, 2011, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective. This conclusion by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer does not relate to reporting periods after March31, 2011.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2011 based on the framework stated by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Furthermore, due to our financial situation, we will be implementing further internal controls as we become operative so as to fully comply with the standards set by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Our internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of inherent limitations, a system of internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate due to change in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Based on its evaluation as of March 31, 2011, our management concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting were ineffective as of March 31, 2011. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of control deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

The material weakness relates to the monitoring and review of work performed by our Chief Financial Officer and lack of segregation of duties. In the preparation of audited financial statements, footnotes and financial data all of our financial reporting is carried out by our Chief Financial Officer, and we do not have an audit committee to monitor or review the work performed. The lack of segregation of duties results from lack of accounting staff with accounting technical expertise necessary for an effective system of internal control. In order to mitigate this material weakness to the fullest extent possible, all financial reports are reviewed by the Chief Executive Officer. All unexpected results are investigated. At any time, if it appears that any control can be implemented to continue to mitigate such weaknesses, it is immediately implemented. As soon as our finances allow, we will hire sufficient accounting staff and implement appropriate procedures for monitoring and review of work performed by our Chief Financial Officer.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

No change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting occurred during the year ended March 31, 2011, that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
