BERING EXPLORATION, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 (A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2011

Note 1.  Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Bering Exploration, Inc. (the "Company" or "Bering") have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8-03 of Regulation S-X related to smaller reporting companies. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes, which are included as part of the Company's Form 10-K filed with the SEC on July 14, 2011.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation, have been included in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements.  Operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.  Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements which substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited consolidated financial statements for fiscal year ended March 31, 2011 as reported in the 10-K have been omitted.

Significant accounting policies

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.

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.

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.

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 June 30, 2011, the Company has accumulated losses of $3,965,124 since inception and negative working capital of $733,204.  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.  
 
Note 3. Related Party Transactions

In April 2010, the Company amended a note payable in the amount of $63,302 to the chief executive officer to include a conversion feature which would allow the holder to convert the note payable and associated accrued interest into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion rate of $1.00 per share. The convertible note payable is due upon demand and has an interest rate of 10% per annum.  In May 2011, the Company made a $10,000 principal payment on this note.

Note 4.  Common Stock

In April 2011, the Company issued 30,000 shares of its common stock to a law firm as payment for services rendered.  The fair market value of the common stock on the date of issuance was $37,800 which was offset against accounts payable of $18,902.  The balance of $18,898  was recognized by the Company as additional stock based compensation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2011.

In April and May 2011, the Company issued 400,000 shares from the exercise of options for total consideration of $291,250 of which $180,000 remains in subscription receivable.

Note 5. Stock Options and Warrants

In April and May 2011, the Company granted 300,000 stock options for consulting services at exercise prices ranging from $0.60 to $0.80.  These options have a term of 2 years and vested immediately.  The options have a fair value of $188,890 which was recorded immediately to expense and was calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.  Variables used in the valuation include (1) discount rates of 0.56% and 0.65%, (2) expected life of 2 years, (3) expected volatility of 133.88% and 134.86% and (4) zero expected dividends.

In April 2011, the Company repriced 250,000 options that were previously issued to reduce the exercise prices ranging from $0.65 to $1.16.  The options were remeasured at the date of modification and an incremental compensation expense of $10,263 was recognized.

In May 2011, the Company issued 460,000 stock warrants to a consultant representing 50% of  a quarterly retainer.  The warrants are exercisable at  $0.75 per share, have a term of 5 years and vests over a period of 3 years beginning May 1, 2011.  The warrants have a fair value of $367,136 which was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.  Variables used in the valuation include (1) discount rate of 1.97%,  (2) expected life of 5 years, (3) expected volatility of 152.9% and (4) zero expected dividends.  Stock-based compensation expense recognized for these warrants amounted to $20,396 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and the unamortized expense as of the same date amounted to $346,740.

Note 5.  Subsequent Event

In July 2011, the Company made a $5,302 principal payment to an officer of the Company on his outstanding convertible note payable.

In August 2011, the Company entered into a participation agreement wherein the Company acquired a 10% working interest in an oil and gas drilling prospect in exchange for consideration of $40,000 which is equivalent to the Company’s proportionate share of the drilling cost of a test well.

ITEM 2. 
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition as of June 30, 2011 and 2010, and its results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, and for period inception (May 9, 2007) through June 30, 2011, should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in Bering’s Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2011, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Overview

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.

Results of Operations – Inception (May 9, 2007) to June 30, 2011

The Company has had no revenue for period from inception (May 9, 2007) through June 30, 2011.

The Company’s expenses were $3,856,504 since inception, which were primarily comprised of compensation and related expenses of $1,703,932, professional fees of $1,031,629, investor relations expenses of $439,438, and other miscellaneous expenses of $312,039. In addition, we had $641,626 of interest expense since inception.

In addition to the foregoing expenses, the Company performed an impairment test on the carrying value of the license agreement it had acquired from Secure Voice Communications, Inc. (Florida) and determined that an impairment charge for the full carrying value of $80,100 was warranted.  In connection with the license agreement acquisition, Secure Voice Communications, Inc. (Texas) issued a promissory note to Secure Voice Communications, Inc. (Florida) in the principal amount of $200,000.  This amount exceeded the estimated fair value of the license agreement of $80,100 and the excess amount of $119,900 was charged to compensation expense.

In November 2007, the Company issued 500,000 shares of its restricted common stock to the shareholders of Intertech Bio Corporation for 100% of the capital stock of Intertech Bio, with Intertech Bio becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.  Based upon the fair market value on the date of acquisition, the Company valued the common stock issued at $220,000 and charged the entire amount to acquisition costs during the quarter ended June 30, 2008.

As a result of the foregoing, the Company’s net loss for the period inception (May 9, 2007) through June 30, 2011 was $3,965,124.

ITEM 4.                               CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
                         (a)                        Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on this evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2011 due to a lack of segregation of duties and an overreliance on consultants in the accounting and financial reporting process.
