This Annual Report on Form 10-K includes the accounts of Pegasi Energy Resources Corporation (“Pegasi”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, as follows, collectively referred to as “we”, “us” or the “Company”: Pegasi Operating, Inc., a Texas corporation (“POI”) and TR Rodessa, Inc., a Texas corporation (“TR Rodessa”).  In addition, we have two additional subsidiaries, Pegasi Energy Resources Corporation, a Texas corporation (“PERC”) and 59 Disposal Inc., a Texas corporation, which are inactive and do not conduct any operations.

ITEM 1.  BUSINESS.

Overview of Business

We are an independent energy company engaged in the exploration for and production of crude oil and natural gas.  Our focus is on the development of a repeatable, low-geological risk, high-potential project in the active East Texas oil and gas region.  We currently hold interests in properties located in Cass and Marion Counties, Texas, home to the Rodessa oil field.  This field has historically been the domain of small independent operators and is not a legacy field for any major oil company.

Our business strategy in what we have designated the “Cornerstone Project”, is to identify and exploit resources in and adjacent to existing or indicated producing areas within the mature Rodessa field. We believe that we are uniquely familiar with the history and geology of the Cornerstone Project area based on our collective experience in the region as well as through our development and ownership of a large proprietary database which details the drilling history of the Cornerstone Project area since 1980.  Having acquired a substantial acreage position over recent years, we intend to quickly develop these resources. We plan to develop and produce reserves at low cost and will take an aggressive approach to exploiting our contiguous acreage position through utilization of the latest “best in class” drilling and completion techniques.   We believe that implementing the latest proven drilling and completion techniques to exploit our geological insight in the Cornerstone Project area will enable us to find significant oil and gas reserves.

Corporate History

We previously operated under the name Maple Mountain Explorations, Inc. (“Maple Mountain”), a Nevada corporation.  On December 12, 2007, Maple Mountain entered into a share exchange agreement with the shareholders of PERC, pursuant to which we purchased from PERC’s shareholders all issued and outstanding shares of PERC’s common stock in consideration for the issuance of 17,500,000 shares of our common stock. Effective January 23, 2008, we changed our name to Pegasi Energy Resources Corporation.

Effective July 1, 2011, certain assets of our wholly-owned subsidiary, 59 Disposal, were sold for a total of $1.3 million, of which we received $1,037,000.  These funds have been allocated to general operations.  59 Disposal owned an 80% undivided interest in a saltwater disposal facility which disposes saltwater and flow-back waste into subsurface storage.  Our recent emphasis on drilling horizontal oil prospects, which historically do not have as much associated water to dispose, together with diminished disposal activities over the past twelve months were factors in the decision to sell the assets of 59 Disposal.

Principal Operations

We began our leasing and farm-in activities in the Rodessa field area of the East Texas oil and gas basin in 2000. Our initial leasehold purchase was comprised of approximately 1,500 gross acres, which has grown to approximately 26,900 gross acres (of which our net acres are approximately 12,000) as of December 2011. We serve as operator of the Cornerstone Project with a working interest partner, TR Energy Inc. (“TR Energy”), a related party, to develop our acreage position in the Cornerstone Project. We hold an 80% working interest in the majority of our leases with TR Energy holding 20% working interest in those leases.  We have a few leases in which we hold smaller interests ranging from 25% - 50% with TR Energy and other minority investors holding the remaining working interests.  Since initiating operations in 2000, we have drilled 12 productive wells, of which 8 remain economically producing.

We have been aggressively acquiring oil and gas leases to add to our existing lease inventory. Based on detailed log analysis of thousands of wells from our database and information derived from our drilling experience in the area, over a hundred drilling locations have been identified on our present leased acreage. We are currently focusing on an initial well drilling program.

With our recent funding completed, we intend to participate in several horizontal wells.  Our main emphasis will be to explore for oil with horizontal drilling.  We anticipate the cost of a horizontal oil well will be approximately $6 million and that of a vertical shallow gas well to be approximately $1.2 million.  The present discussions are based on pursuing an aggressive drilling program where we would be carried for an interest in such wells at no cost to us.  If additional funds are raised, they could be used to apply fracture treatment to the Harris #2 and Childers #2 wells, in addition to deepening the Childers #1 and Harris #1 wells.  The deepening will be to a minimum depth to complete the wells in the Cotton Valley formation and possibly deeper in order to evaluate the Cotton Valley Lime formation.
  
Other Operations

We conduct our main exploration and production operations through our wholly-owned subsidiary, POI.  We conduct additional operations through our other wholly-owned subsidiary, TR Rodessa.

TR Rodessa owns an 80% undivided interest in and operates a 40-mile natural gas pipeline and gathering system which we currently use to transport our hydrocarbons to market.  Excess capacity on this system is used to transport third-party hydrocarbons.

We intend to continue to use our competitive strengths to advance our corporate strategy. The following are key elements of that strategy:

  
Continue to lease underdeveloped acreage in the Cornerstone Project area.  As of December 31, 2011, our leasehold position is approximately 26,900 gross acres and 18,000 net acres, of which our working interest in the net acres is approximately 12,000.  During 2011, we completed our lease program with two lease fund partners from which we received $5.2 million.  Our priority is now drilling and consequently, our leasing program’s primary objective is to support the planned drilling program by securing holdout leases in those units where we plan to drill over the next twelve months and renew leases that are due to expire in units where we plan to drill.

We continue to use our extensive proprietary database to optimize additional drilling locations and to acquire additional acreage in the Cornerstone Project area.  Most properties in the project area are held by smaller independent companies that lack the resources and expertise to exploit them fully.  We intend to pursue these opportunities to selectively expand our portfolio of properties.  These acreage additions will complement our existing substantial acreage position in the area and provide us with additional drilling opportunities.

  
Develop the resources of the Cornerstone Project through a drilling program.   The Swamp Fox #1 test well was recompleted in November 2011 and a complete evaluation of the well is still in progress.  We have a 28% working interest in the well.  In 2012, our drilling program will be limited to development and will feature two components:

 
Horizontal wells targeting the Bossier/Cotton Valley Limestone.  We will employ the latest horizontal drilling and dynamic multi-stage fracking techniques that have proven so successful in the Bakken and elsewhere to target the low permeability oil bearing Bossier and Cotton Valley Limestone formations.  We anticipate these wells will yield significantly higher hydrocarbon flow rates than our vertical wells.  Our first horizontal well, the Morse #1 commenced drilling in January 2012.  We have a 70% working interest in the Morse #1 well; and

 
Vertical wells to offset the Norbord #1 discovery of 2010 in the Travis Peak.  We plan to maximize the present value of our vertical wells by utilizing a multi-zone production technique.  We will also implement the latest drilling, fracturing, and completion techniques, including shotgun duals, to develop our properties.  In December 2011, drilling began on the Haggard “A” #1 and the Haggard “B” #1 wells, which offset the Norbord #1.  We have a 48% working interest in the Haggard “A” and a 32% working interest in the Haggard “B” wells.
 
We expect this drilling program to significantly increase our proved reserves and cash flow profile.

  
Maintain a conservative and flexible financial strategy.  We will continue to maintain a low level of corporate overhead expense and utilize outsourcing, where appropriate, to maximize cash flow.  We believe that internally generated cash flow, coupled with reserve-based debt financing when appropriate, will provide the optimal capital structure to fund our future drilling activity.

Well Economics

In order to develop the P1 reserves, we plan to initially drill vertical wells to approximately 10,500 feet targeting the lower Cotton Valley formation (primarily gas) and continue developing the Travis Peak formation based on the success of the Norbord well. The estimated future development cost expected to be incurred relative to the proved reserves in this formation totals approximately $1.64 million. The estimated future development cost is a component of the amounts disclosed in the supplemental oil and gas disclosures required by Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic No. 932, Extractive Activities—Oil and Gas.  The estimated ultimate recovery includes all proved reserves except those that are currently producing. Proved developed and undeveloped oil and gas in this formation include 1.5 billion cubic feet (“bcf”) and .04 million barrels of oil (“MMBO”) of proved behind-pipe reserves, .05 bcf and .04 MMBO of proved developed non-producing reserves and 0.2 bcf and .005 MMBO proved producing reserves.  We emphasize that reserve estimates are inherently imprecise and that estimates of reserves related to new discoveries are more imprecise than those for producing oil and gas properties.  Accordingly, the estimates are expected to change as future information becomes available.  The estimates have been prepared with the assistance of James E. Smith and Associates, an independent petroleum reservoir engineering firm.  The finding and development cost is the ratio of estimated future development costs to the estimated ultimate recovery. We use this ratio, with the commodity price factored in, to determine the viability of drilling a well. The limitation of this measure is that it is based on estimates that are inherently imprecise. The manner in which we have calculated the finding and development costs may differ from how other companies calculate a like measure. We estimate the well economics of drilling a lower Cotton Valley well on our acreage as seen below.

Estimated Future Development Costs     ~$1.64 mil
 
Finding and Development Costs:             ~$0.80/ mcfe 
 
% Gas:                ~78%  
 
 
In order to maximize our rate of return on our vertical wells, we plan on implementing a shotgun-dual or sawtooth production technique.  Under this technique, we will drill and complete multiple geologic horizons in a sequential manner as follows:

  
We will initially complete and produce the lower Cotton Valley pay zone (~10,500 ft.);
 
  
After producing the lower Cotton Valley zone for a period of time, we will move uphole to recomplete the upper Cotton Valley (~8,200 ft.), Travis Peak Zone (~7,500 ft.) and/or Pettit Zone (~6,500 ft.); and
 
  
After producing the upper Cotton Valley, Travis Peak and/or Pettit Zones for a period of time, we will co-mingle all zones and produce through the end of the wells’ lives.
 
The estimated future development costs expected to be incurred relative to the proved reserves in the upper Cotton Valley, Travis Peak, Pettit, and co-mingled formations total approximately $11.6 million.  The estimated future development cost is a component of the amounts disclosed in the supplemental oil and gas disclosures required by FASB ASC Topic No. 932.  The estimated ultimate recovery includes all proved reserves except those that are currently producing.  Proved developed and undeveloped oil and gas in these formations include 5.7 bcf and 0.12 MMBO of proved undeveloped reserves, 6.8 bcf and 0.24 MMBO of proved behind-pipe reserves, 0.4 bcf and 0.004 MMBO of proved developed non-producing reserves and 0.2 bcf and .005 MMBO of proved producing reserves.  We emphasize that reserve estimates are inherently imprecise and that estimates of reserves related to new discoveries are more imprecise than those for producing oil and gas properties.  Accordingly, the estimates are expected to change as future information becomes available.  The estimates have been prepared with the assistance of James E. Smith and Associates, an independent petroleum reservoir engineering firm.  The production technique is expected to result in improved well economics as indicated below.

A productive well is an exploratory well, development well, producing well or well capable of production, but does not include a dry well.  A dry well, or a hole, is an exploratory or a development well found to be incapable of producing either oil or gas in sufficient quantities to justify completion as an oil or gas well.

A gross well is a well in which a working interest is owned, and a net well is the result obtained when the sum of fractional ownership working interests in gross wells equals one.  The number of gross wells is the total number of wells in which a working interest is owned, and the number of net wells is the sum of the fractional working interests owned in gross wells expressed as whole numbers and fractions thereof.  The “completion” of a well means the installation of permanent equipment for the production of oil or gas, or, in the case of a dry hole, to the reporting of abandonment to the appropriate agency.

Proved Undeveloped Reserves

There were no material changes in our proved undeveloped reserves (“PUDs”) during 2011. See “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Note 19 – Subsequent Events” regarding our progress to convert our PUDS to proved developed reserves. We are currently scheduled to drill these locations within the next five years.  We do not have material concentrations of PUDs in individual fields or countries that have remained undeveloped for five years or more after disclosure as PUDs.

The technical person in charge of the preparation and oversight of our reserve estimates is James E. Smith, a petroleum engineer who founded and is the president of a multi-disciplined engineering firm that offers a total package of services to the oil and gas industry in East Texas and other areas in the southwestern United States.  He has over 40 years of experience in the oil and gas industry.  A graduate of Texas A&M University, he worked 18 years for the Texas Railroad Commission serving as Field Operations Director, Hearing Examiner, Special Project Engineer in Austin, and as the District Director of both the Kilgore and Abilene District Offices. He is a member of the Society of Petroleum Engineers, the Society of Petroleum Evaluation Engineers, and the SPE Technical Information Group for economics and evaluations. He is a registered petroleum engineer in the state of Texas. He has extensive experience in economic and reservoir evaluation for acquisitions, producing properties and undeveloped prospects.  He also planned and supervised the drilling of wells that we drilled in the East Texas project. He is not an employee of ours and does not have an equity position in our oil and gas development.  We believe his independence allows him to be objective in the preparation and oversight of our reserve estimates.

The process for preparation of our oil and gas reserves estimates is completed in accordance with our prescribed internal control procedures, which include verification of data provided for the report and review of the independent third party reserves report.  The technical employee responsible for overseeing the process for preparation of the reserves estimates is our Chief Executive Officer, Michael H. Neufeld.  Mr. Neufeld holds a B.Sc. Degree in Geology from Louisiana State University and has worked in the oil and gas industry for over 38 years, including roles as Senior Exploration Geologist and Vice President of Exploration at various oil & gas companies, including Penzoil and Hunt Oil Company.  He is the sole person in the Company that reviews and approves the reserve estimates.

Title to Properties

As is customary in the oil and gas industry, only a preliminary title examination is conducted at the time we acquire leases or enter into other agreements to obtain control over interests in acreage believed to be suitable for drilling operations. In many instances, our partners have acquired rights to the prospective acreage and we have a contractual right to have our interests in that acreage assigned to us. In some cases, we are in the process of having those interests so assigned. Prior to the commencement of drilling operations, a thorough title examination of the drill site tract is conducted by independent attorneys. Once production from a given well is established, the operator will prepare a division order title report indicating the proper parties and percentages for payment of production proceeds, including royalties. We believe that titles to our leasehold properties are good and defensible in accordance with standards generally acceptable in the oil and gas industry.

Markets and Customers

The revenue generated by our operations is highly dependent upon the prices of, and demand for, natural gas and crude oil. Historically, the markets for crude oil and natural gas have been volatile and are likely to continue to be volatile in the future. The prices we receive for our crude oil and natural gas production are subject to wide fluctuations and depend on numerous factors beyond our control including seasonality, the condition of the United States economy (particularly the manufacturing sector), foreign imports, political conditions in other crude oil-producing and natural gas-producing countries, the actions of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and domestic regulation, legislation, and policies. Decreases in the prices of crude oil and natural gas have had, and could have in the future, an adverse effect on the carrying value of our proved reserves and our revenue, profitability, and cash flow from operations.

We currently have access to several interstate pipelines as well as local end users, however the market for oil and natural gas that we expect to produce depends on factors beyond our control, including the extent of domestic production and imports of oil and natural gas, the proximity and capacity of natural gas pipelines and other transportation facilities, demand for oil and natural gas, the marketing of competitive fuels and the effects of state and federal regulation. The oil and gas industry also competes with other industries in supplying the energy and fuel requirements of industrial, commercial, and individual consumers.

Our oil production is expected to be sold at prices tied to the spot oil markets. Our natural gas production is expected to be sold under short-term contracts and priced based on first of the month index prices or on daily spot market prices.

Regulations

General

Our business is affected by numerous laws and regulations, including energy, environmental, conservation, tax and other laws and regulations relating to the energy industry. Most of our drilling operations will require permit or authorizations from federal, state or local agencies. Changes in any of these laws and regulations or the denial or vacating of permits could have a material adverse effect on our business. In view of the many uncertainties with respect to current and future laws and regulations, including their applicability to us, we cannot predict the overall effect of such laws and regulations on our future operations.

We believe that our operations comply in all material respects with applicable laws and regulations. There are no pending or threatened enforcement actions related to any such laws or regulations. We further believe that the existence and enforcement of such laws and regulations will have no more restrictive an effect on our operations than on other similar companies in the energy industry.

Proposals and proceedings that might affect the oil and gas industry are pending before Congress, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”), state legislatures and commissions and the courts. We cannot predict when or whether any such proposals may become effective. In the past, the natural gas industry has been heavily regulated. There is no assurance that the regulatory approach currently pursued by various agencies will continue indefinitely. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we do not anticipate that compliance with existing federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations will have a material adverse effect upon our capital expenditures, earnings, or competitive position.

Federal Regulation of Sales and Transportation of Natural Gas

Historically, the transportation and sale of natural gas and its component parts in interstate commerce has been regulated under several laws enacted by Congress and the regulations passed under these laws by FERC. Our sales of natural gas, including condensate and liquids, may be affected by the availability, terms, and cost of transportation. The price and terms of access to pipeline transportation are subject to extensive federal and state regulation. From 1985 to the present, several major regulatory changes have been implemented by Congress and FERC that affect the economics of natural gas production, transportation and sales. In addition, FERC is continually proposing and implementing new rules and regulations affecting those segments of the natural gas industry, most notably interstate natural gas transmission companies that remain subject to FERC’s jurisdiction. These initiatives may also affect the intrastate transportation of gas under certain circumstances. The stated purpose of many of these regulatory changes is to promote competition among the various sectors of the natural gas industry.

The ultimate impact of the complex rules and regulations issued by FERC cannot be predicted. In addition, many aspects of these regulatory developments have not become final but are still pending judicial and final FERC decisions. We cannot predict what further action FERC will take on these matters. Some of FERC’s more recent proposals may, however, adversely affect the availability and reliability of interruptible transportation service on interstate pipelines. We do not believe that we will be affected by any action taken materially differently than other natural gas producers, gatherers and marketers with whom we compete.

State Regulation

Our operations are also subject to regulation at the state and in some cases, county, municipal and local governmental levels. Such regulation includes requiring permits for the drilling of wells, maintaining bonding requirements in order to drill or operate wells and regulating the location of wells, the method of drilling and casing wells, the surface use and restoration of properties upon which wells are drilled, the plugging and abandonment of wells, and the disposal of fluids used and produced in connection with operations. Our operations are also subject to various conservation laws and regulations pertaining to the size of drilling and spacing units or proration units and the unitization or pooling of oil and gas properties.

State regulation of gathering facilities generally includes various safety, environmental and, in some circumstances, nondiscriminatory take requirements, but, except as noted above, does not generally entail rate regulation. These regulatory burdens may affect profitability, but we are unable to predict the future cost or impact of complying with such regulations.

Environmental Matters

Our operations are subject to numerous federal, state and local laws and regulations controlling the generation, use, storage, and discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment. These laws and regulations may require the acquisition of a permit or other authorization before construction or drilling commences; restrict the types, quantities, and concentrations of various substances that can be released into the environment in connection with drilling, production, and natural gas processing activities; suspend, limit or prohibit construction, drilling and other activities in certain lands lying within wilderness, wetlands, and other protected areas; require remedial measures to mitigate pollution from historical and on-going operations such as use of pits and plugging of abandoned wells; restrict injection of liquids into subsurface strata that may contaminate groundwater; and impose substantial liabilities for pollution resulting from our operations. Environmental permits required for our operations may be subject to revocation, modification, and renewal by issuing authorities. Governmental authorities have the power to enforce compliance with their regulations and permits, and violations are subject to injunction, civil fines, and even criminal penalties. We believe that we are in substantial compliance with current environmental laws and regulations, and that we will not be required to make material capital expenditures to comply with existing laws.
 
 Nevertheless, changes in existing environmental laws and regulations or interpretations thereof could have a significant impact on us as well as the crude oil and natural gas industry in general, and thus we are unable to predict the ultimate cost and effects of future changes in environmental laws and regulations.

We are not currently involved in any administrative, judicial or legal proceedings arising under domestic or foreign federal, state, or local environmental protection laws and regulations, or under federal or state common law, which would have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations. Moreover, we maintain insurance against costs of clean-up operations, but we are not fully insured against all such risks. A serious incident of pollution may result in the suspension or cessation of operations in the affected area.
 
Superfund

The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act ("CERCLA"), also known as "Superfund," and comparable state statutes impose strict, joint, and several liability on certain classes of persons who are considered to have contributed to the release of a “hazardous substance" into the environment. These persons include the owner or operator of a disposal site or sites where a release occurred and companies that generated, disposed, or arranged for the disposal of the hazardous substances released at the site. Under CERCLA, such persons or companies may be retroactively liable for the costs of cleaning up the hazardous substances that have been released into the environment and for damages to natural resources, and it is common for neighboring land owners and other third parties to file claims for personal injury, property damage, and recovery of response costs allegedly caused by the hazardous substances released into the environment. In the course of our operations, we may generate waste that may fall within CERCLA's definition of a "hazardous substance." We may be jointly and severally liable under CERCLA or comparable state statutes for all or part of the costs required to clean up sites at which these wastes have been disposed. Although CERCLA currently contains a "petroleum exclusion" from the definition of “hazardous,” state laws affecting our operations impose cleanup liability relating to petroleum related products, including crude oil cleanups. In addition, although RCRA regulations currently classify certain wastes which are uniquely associated with field operations as "non-hazardous," such exploration, development and production wastes could be reclassified by regulation as hazardous wastes thereby administratively making such wastes subject to more stringent handling and disposal requirements.
 
We currently own or lease, and have in the past owned or leased, numerous properties that for many years have been used for the exploration and production of natural gas and crude oil. Although we utilized standard industry operating and disposal practices at the time, hydrocarbons or other wastes may have been disposed of or released on or under the properties we owned or leased or on or under other locations where such wastes have been taken for disposal. In addition, many of these properties have been operated by third parties whose treatment and disposal or release of hydrocarbons or other wastes was not under our control. These properties and the wastes disposed thereon may be subject to CERCLA, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, as amended (“RCRA”), and analogous state laws. Under these laws, we could be required to remove or remediate previously disposed wastes, including wastes disposed or released by prior owners or operators; to clean up contaminated property, including contaminated groundwater; or to perform remedial operations to prevent future contamination.
 
Oil Pollution Act of 1990

United States federal regulations also require certain owners and operators of facilities that store or otherwise handle crude oil, such as us, to prepare and implement spill prevention, control and countermeasure plans and spill response plans relating to possible discharge of crude oil into surface waters. The federal Oil Pollution Act ("OPA") contains numerous requirements relating to prevention of, reporting of, and response to crude oil spills into waters of the United States. For facilities that may affect state waters, OPA requires an operator to demonstrate $10 million in financial responsibility. State laws mandate crude oil cleanup programs with respect to contaminated soil. A failure to comply with OPA's requirements or inadequate cooperation during a spill response action may subject a responsible party to civil or criminal enforcement actions. We are not aware of any action or event that would subject us to liability under OPA, and we believe that compliance with OPA's financial responsibility and other operating requirements will not have a material adverse effect on us.

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency regulations address the disposal of crude oil and natural gas operational wastes under three federal acts more fully discussed in the paragraphs that follow. The RCRA provides a framework for the safe disposal of discarded materials and the management of solid and hazardous wastes. The direct disposal of operational wastes into offshore waters is also limited under the authority of the Clean Water Act. When injected underground, crude oil and natural gas wastes are regulated by the Underground Injection Control program under the Safe Drinking Water Act. If wastes are classified as hazardous, they must be properly transported, using a uniform hazardous waste manifest, documented, and disposed of at an approved hazardous waste facility. We have coverage under the applicable Clean Water Act permitting requirements for discharges associated with exploration and development activities.
 
Resource Conservation Recovery Act

RCRA is the principal federal statute governing the treatment, storage and disposal of hazardous wastes. RCRA imposes stringent operating requirements, and liability for failure to meet such requirements, on a person who is either a "generator" or "transporter" of hazardous waste or an "owner" or "operator" of a hazardous waste treatment, storage or disposal facility. At present, RCRA includes a statutory exemption that allows most crude oil and natural gas exploration and production waste to be classified as nonhazardous waste. A similar exemption is contained in many of the state counterparts to RCRA. As a result, we are not required to comply with a substantial portion of RCRA's requirements because our operations generate minimal quantities of hazardous wastes. At various times in the past, proposals have been made to amend RCRA to rescind the exemption that excludes crude oil and natural gas exploration and production wastes from regulation as hazardous waste. Repeal or modification of the exemption by administrative, legislative or judicial process, or modification of similar exemptions in applicable state statutes, would increase the volume of hazardous waste we are required to manage and dispose of and would cause us to incur increased operating expenses.

Clean Water Act

The Clean Water Act imposes restrictions and controls on the discharge of produced waters and other wastes into navigable waters. Permits must be obtained to discharge pollutants into state and federal waters and to conduct construction activities in waters and wetlands. Certain state regulations and the general permits issued under the Federal National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System program prohibit the discharge of produced waters and sand, drilling fluids, drill cuttings and certain other substances related to the crude oil and natural gas industry into certain coastal and offshore waters. Further, the Environmental Protection Agency has adopted regulations requiring certain crude oil and natural gas exploration and production facilities to obtain permits for storm water discharges. Costs may be associated with the treatment of wastewater or developing and implementing storm water pollution prevention plans. The Clean Water Act and comparable state statutes provide for civil, criminal and administrative penalties for unauthorized discharges for crude oil and other pollutants and impose liability on parties responsible for those discharges for the costs of cleaning up any environmental damage caused by the release and for natural resource damages resulting from the release. We believe that our operations comply in all material respects with the requirements of the Clean Water Act and state statutes enacted to control water pollution.

Safe Drinking Water Act

Underground injection is the subsurface placement of fluid through a well, such as the reinjection of brine produced and separated from crude oil and natural gas production. The Safe Drinking Water Act of 1974, as amended establishes a regulatory framework for underground injection, with the main goal being the protection of usable aquifers. The primary objective of injection well operating requirements is to ensure the mechanical integrity of the injection apparatus and to prevent migration of fluids from the injection zone into underground sources of drinking water. Hazardous-waste injection well operations are strictly controlled, and certain wastes, absent an exemption, cannot be injected into underground injection control wells. In Texas, no underground injection may take place except as authorized by permit or rule. We currently own and operate various underground injection wells. Failure to abide by our permits could subject us to civil and/or criminal enforcement. We believe that we are in compliance in all material respects with the requirements of applicable state underground injection control programs and our permits.
 
Air Pollution Control

The Clean Air Act and state air pollution laws adopted to fulfill its mandate provide a framework for national, state and local efforts to protect air quality. Our operations utilize equipment that emits air pollutants which may be subject to federal and state air pollution control laws. These laws require utilization of air emissions abatement equipment to achieve prescribed emissions limitations and ambient air quality standards, as well as operating permits for existing equipment and construction permits for new and modified equipment. We believe that we are in compliance in all material respects with the requirements of applicable federal and state air pollution control laws.

Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials ("NORM")

NORM are materials not covered by the Atomic Energy Act, whose radioactivity is enhanced by technological processing such as mineral extraction or processing through exploration and production conducted by the crude oil and natural gas industry. NORM wastes are regulated under the RCRA framework, but primary responsibility for NORM regulation has been a state function. Standards have been developed for worker protection; treatment, storage and disposal of NORM waste; management of waste piles, containers and tanks; and limitations upon the release of NORM contaminated land for unrestricted use. We believe that our operations are in material compliance with all applicable NORM standards established by the State of Texas.
 
Abandonment Costs

All of our crude oil and natural gas wells will require proper plugging and abandonment when they are no longer producing. We post bonds with most regulatory agencies to ensure compliance with our plugging responsibility. Plugging and abandonment operations and associated reclamation of the surface production site are important components of our environmental management system. We plan accordingly for the ultimate disposition of properties that are no longer producing.
 
Competition

We operate in a highly competitive environment. The principal resources necessary for the exploration and production of crude oil and natural gas are leasehold prospects where crude oil and natural gas reserves may be discovered, drilling rigs and related equipment to explore for such reserves and knowledgeable personnel to conduct operations. We must compete for such resources with both major oil and gas companies and independent operators. Many of these competitors have financial and other resources substantially greater than ours. Although we believe our current operating and financial resources are adequate to preclude any significant disruption of our operations in the immediate future, we cannot assure you that such resources will be available to us indefinitely.

Employees

As of March 1, 2012, we had seven full-time employees. None of our employees are represented by a labor union, and we consider our employee relations to be excellent. We seek to use contract workers and anticipate maintaining a small full-time employee base.  We have a staff services agreement with Odyssey One Source, Inc. on a month-to-month basis whereby we jointly employ personnel and share employment responsibilities for the staff.

ITEM 1A.  RISK FACTORS.

You should carefully consider the following risk factors and all other information contained herein as well as the information included in this Annual Report in evaluating our business and prospects. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties, other than those we describe below, that are not presently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial, may also impair our business operations. If any of the following risks occur, our business and consolidated financial results could be harmed. You should refer to the other information contained in this Annual Report, including our consolidated financial statements and the related notes.

Risks Related to Our Business

We have a history of losses which may continue, and which may negatively impact our ability to achieve our business objectives.

We incurred net losses of $4,568,828 and $6,491,173 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. We cannot assure you that we can achieve or sustain profitability on a quarterly or annual basis in the future. Our operations are subject to the risks and competition inherent in the establishment of a business enterprise. There can be no assurance that future operations will be profitable. Revenues and profits, if any, will depend upon various factors, including whether we will be able to continue expansion of our revenue. We may not achieve our business objectives and the failure to achieve such goals would have an adverse impact on us.

We have a limited operating history and 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.

We have been engaged in the business of oil and gas exploration and development for only a short amount of time, and have limited current oil and gas operations.  The business of acquiring leases, exploring for reserves, developing reserves and then producing oil and gas reserves is inherently risky.  As an oil and gas exploration and development company with limited operating history, it is difficult for potential investors to evaluate our business.  Our operations are therefore subject to all of the risks, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays frequently encountered by any new business, as well as those risks that are specific to the oil and gas industry.  Investors should evaluate us in light of the delays, expenses, problems and uncertainties frequently encountered by companies developing markets for new products, services and technologies.  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 our company.

Our lack of diversification will increase the risk of an investment in PERC, and our consolidated financial condition and results of operations may deteriorate if we fail to diversify.
 
Our business focus is on the oil and gas industry in a limited number of properties, initially in Texas.  Larger companies have the ability to manage their risk by geographic diversification.  However, we lack diversification, in terms of both the nature and geographic scope of our business.  As a result, we will likely be impacted more acutely by factors specific to our industry or the regions in which we operate than we would if our business were more diversified, enhancing our risk profile.  If we cannot diversify our operations, our financial condition and results of operations could deteriorate.
 
Because we are small and do not have much capital, we may have to limit our exploration activity which may result in a loss of your investment. 

Because we are small and do not have much capital, we must limit our exploration activity. As such we may not be able to complete an exploration program that is as thorough as we would like. In that event, existing reserves may go undiscovered. Without finding reserves, we cannot generate revenues and you will lose your investment.

Strategic relationships upon which we may rely are subject to change, which may diminish our ability to conduct our operations.
 
Our ability to successfully acquire additional properties, to discover reserves, to participate in drilling opportunities and to identify and enter into commercial arrangements with customers will depend on developing and maintaining close working relationships with industry participants and on our ability to select and evaluate suitable properties and to consummate transactions in a highly competitive environment. These realities are subject to change and may impair our ability to grow.
 
To develop our business, we will endeavor to use the business relationships of our management to enter into strategic relationships, which may take the form of joint ventures with other private parties and contractual arrangements with other oil and gas companies, including those that supply equipment and other resources that we will use in our business.  We may not be able to establish these strategic relationships, or if established, we may not be able to maintain them.  In addition, the dynamics of our relationships with strategic partners may require us to incur expenses or undertake activities we would not otherwise be inclined to in order to fulfill our obligations to these partners or maintain our relationships.  If our strategic relationships are not established or maintained, our business prospects may be limited, which could diminish our ability to conduct our operations.

Competition in obtaining rights to explore and develop oil and gas reserves and to market our production may impair our business.
 
The oil and gas industry is highly competitive.  Other oil and gas companies may seek to acquire oil and gas leases and other properties and services we will need to operate our business in the areas in which we expect to operate.   Additionally, other companies engaged in our line of business may compete with us from time to time in obtaining capital from investors.  Competitors include larger companies, which, in particular, may have access to greater resources, may be more successful in the recruitment and retention of qualified employees and may conduct their own refining and petroleum marketing operations, which may give them a competitive advantage.  In addition, actual or potential competitors may be strengthened through the acquisition of additional assets and interests.  If we are unable to compete effectively or adequately respond to competitive pressures, this inability may materially adversely affect our consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

If we are unable to obtain additional funding our business operations will be harmed and if we do obtain additional financing our then existing shareholders may suffer substantial dilution.
 
While we believe that our currently available funds can sustain our current level of operations for twelve months, we will require additional capital to fund our planned growth, including drilling and lease acquisition programs. We may be unable to obtain the additional capital required.  Furthermore, inability to maintain capital may damage our reputation and credibility with industry participants.  Our inability to raise additional funds when required may have a negative impact on our consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
 
Future acquisitions, exploration, development, production, and leasing activities, as well as our administrative requirements (such as salaries, insurance expenses and general overhead expenses, as well as legal compliance costs and accounting expenses) will require a substantial amount of additional capital and cash flow.
 
We plan to pursue sources of additional capital through various financing transactions or arrangements, including joint venturing of projects, debt financing, equity financing or other means.  We may not be successful in locating suitable financing transactions in the time period required or at all, and we may not obtain the capital we require by other means.   
 
             Any additional capital raised through the sale of equity may dilute your ownership percentage.  This could also result in a decrease in the fair market value of our equity securities because our assets would be owned by a larger pool of outstanding equity.  The terms of securities we issue in future capital transactions may be more favorable to our new investors, and may include preferences, superior voting rights and the issuance of warrants or other derivative securities, and issuances of incentive awards under equity employee incentive plans, which may have a further dilutive effect.
 
            Our ability to obtain the required financing may be impaired by such factors as the capital markets (both generally and in the oil and gas industry in particular), our status as a new enterprise without a significant demonstrated operating history, the location of our oil and natural gas properties and prices of oil and natural gas on the commodities markets (which will impact the amount of asset-based financing available to us) and/or the loss of key management.  Further, if oil and/or natural gas prices on the commodities markets decrease, then our revenues will likely decrease, and such decreased revenues may increase our capital requirements.  If the amount of capital we are able to raise from financing activities, together with our revenues from operations, is not sufficient to satisfy our capital needs (even to the extent that we reduce our operations), we may be required to cease our operations.
 
We may incur substantial costs in pursuing future capital financing, including investment banking fees, legal fees, accounting fees, securities law compliance fees, printing and distribution expenses and other costs.  We may also be required to recognize non-cash expenses in connection with certain securities we may issue, such as convertible notes and warrants, which may adversely impact our consolidated financial results.

We may not be able to effectively manage our growth, which may harm our profitability.

Our strategy envisions expanding our business.  If we fail to effectively manage our growth, our consolidated financial results could be adversely affected.  Growth may place a strain on our management systems and resources.  We must continue to refine and expand our business development capabilities, our systems and processes and our access to financing sources.  As we grow, we must continue to hire, train, supervise and manage new employees.  We cannot assure you that we will be able to:
 
meet our capital needs;
expand our systems effectively or efficiently or in a timely manner;
allocate our human resources optimally;
identify and hire qualified employees or retain valued employees; or
incorporate effectively the components of any business that we may acquire in our effort to achieve growth.

If we are unable to manage our growth, our operations and our consolidated financial results could be adversely affected by inefficiency, which could diminish our profitability.

If we are unable to retain the services of Messrs. Neufeld or Sudderth, or if we are unable to successfully recruit qualified managerial and field personnel having experience in oil and gas exploration, we may not be able to continue our operations.

Our success depends to a significant extent upon the continued services of Mr. Michael Neufeld, our President, Chairman and interim Chief Financial Officer and Mr. William Sudderth, our Executive Vice President.  The loss of the services of Messrs. Neufeld or Sudderth could have a material adverse effect on our growth, revenues, and prospective business. We do not have key-man insurance on the lives of Messrs. Neufeld or Sudderth. In addition, in order to successfully implement and manage our business plan, we will be dependent upon, among other things, successfully recruiting qualified managerial and field personnel having experience in the oil and gas exploration business. Competition for qualified individuals is intense. There can be no assurance that we will be able to find, attract and retain existing employees or that we will be able to find, attract and retain qualified personnel on acceptable terms.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR INDUSTRY
 
Our exploration for oil and gas is risky and may not be commercially successful, and the 3D seismic data and other advanced technologies we use cannot eliminate exploration risk, which could impair our ability to generate revenues from our operations.
 
Our future success will depend on the success of our exploratory drilling program.  Oil and gas exploration involves a high degree of risk.  These risks are more acute in the early stages of exploration.  Our expenditures on exploration may not result in new discoveries of oil or natural gas in commercially viable quantities.  It is difficult to project the costs of implementing an exploratory drilling program due to the inherent uncertainties of drilling in unknown formations, the costs associated with encountering various drilling conditions, such as over-pressured zones and tools lost in the hole, and changes in drilling plans and locations as a result of prior exploratory wells or additional seismic data and interpretations thereof.
 
Even when used and properly interpreted, 3D seismic data and visualization techniques only assist geoscientists in identifying subsurface structures and hydrocarbon indicators.  They do not allow the interpreter to know conclusively if hydrocarbons are present or economically producible.  In addition, the use of 3D seismic data becomes less reliable when used at increasing depths.  We could incur losses as a result of expenditures on unsuccessful wells.  If exploration costs exceed our estimates, or if our exploration efforts do not produce results which meet our expectations, our exploration efforts may not be commercially successful, which could adversely impact our ability to generate revenues from operations.
 

 
 
 
13

 
 
 
We may not be able to develop oil and gas reserves on an economically viable basis and our reserves and production may decline as a result.
 
To the extent that we succeed in discovering oil and/or natural gas reserves, we cannot assure that these reserves will be capable of production levels we project or in sufficient quantities to be commercially viable.  On a long-term basis, our viability depends on our ability to find or acquire, develop and commercially produce additional oil and natural gas reserves.  Without the addition of reserves through acquisition, exploration or development activities, our reserves and production will decline over time as reserves are produced.  Our future reserves will depend not only on our ability to develop then-existing properties, but also on our ability to identify and acquire additional suitable producing properties or prospects, to find markets for the oil and natural gas we develop and to effectively distribute our production into our markets. 
 
Future oil and gas exploration may involve unprofitable efforts, not only from dry wells, but from wells that are productive but do not produce sufficient net revenues to return a profit after drilling, operating and other costs.  Completion of a well does not assure a profit on the investment or recovery of drilling, completion and operating costs.  In addition, drilling hazards or environmental damage could greatly increase the cost of operations, and various field operating conditions may adversely affect the production from successful wells.  These conditions include delays in obtaining governmental approvals or consents, shut-downs of connected wells resulting from extreme weather conditions, problems in storage and distribution and adverse geological and mechanical conditions.  While we will endeavor to effectively manage these conditions, we cannot be assured of doing so optimally, and we will not be able to eliminate them completely in any case.  Therefore, these conditions could diminish our revenue and cash flow levels and result in the impairment of our oil and natural gas interests.

Estimates of oil and natural gas reserves that we make may be inaccurate and our actual revenues may be lower than our financial projections.
 
We will make estimates of oil and natural gas reserves, upon which we will base our financial projections.  We will make these reserve estimates using various assumptions, including assumptions as to oil and natural gas prices, drilling and operating expenses, capital expenditures, taxes and availability of funds.  Some of these assumptions are inherently subjective, and the accuracy of our reserve estimates relies in part on the ability of our management team, engineers and other advisors to make accurate assumptions.   For example, our total PUD reserves as of December 31, 2010 had decreased 48% as a result of various PUD reserves we no longer anticipated developing within the next five years.

In addition, economic factors beyond our control, such as interest rates, will also impact the value of our reserves.  The process of estimating oil and natural gas reserves is complex, and will require us to use significant decisions and assumptions in the evaluation of available geological, geophysical, engineering and economic data for each property.  As a result, our reserve estimates will be inherently imprecise.  Actual future production, oil and natural gas prices, revenues, taxes, development expenditures, operating expenses and quantities of recoverable oil and natural gas reserves may vary substantially from those we estimate.  If actual production results vary substantially from our reserve estimates, this could materially reduce our revenues and result in the impairment of our oil and natural gas interests.
 
Drilling new wells could result in new liabilities, which could endanger our interests in our properties and assets.
 
There are risks associated with the drilling of oil and natural gas wells, including encountering unexpected formations or pressures, premature declines of reservoirs, blow-outs, craterings, sour gas releases, fires and spills, among others.  The occurrence of any of these events could significantly reduce our revenues or cause substantial losses, impairing our future consolidated operating results.  We may become subject to liability for pollution, blow-outs or other hazards.  We intend to obtain insurance with respect to these hazards; however, such insurance has limitations on liability that may not be sufficient to cover the full extent of such liabilities.  The payment of such liabilities could reduce the funds available to us or could, in an extreme case, result in a total loss of our properties and assets.  Moreover, we may not be able to maintain adequate insurance in the future at rates that are considered reasonable.  Oil and natural gas production operations are also subject to all the risks typically associated with such operations, including premature decline of reservoirs and the invasion of water into producing formations.
 
Decommissioning costs are unknown and may be substantial.  Unplanned costs could divert resources from other projects.
 
We may become responsible for costs associated with abandoning and reclaiming wells, facilities and pipelines which we use for production of oil and natural gas reserves.  Abandonment and reclamation of these facilities and the costs associated therewith is often referred to as “decommissioning.”  We have not yet determined whether we will establish a cash reserve account for these potential costs in respect of any of our properties or facilities, or if we will satisfy such costs of decommissioning from the proceeds of production in accordance with the practice generally employed in onshore and offshore oilfield operations.  If decommissioning is required before economic depletion of our properties or if our estimates of the costs of decommissioning exceed the value of the reserves remaining at any particular time to cover such decommissioning costs, we may have to draw on funds from other sources to satisfy such costs.  The use of other funds to satisfy such decommissioning costs could impair our ability to focus capital investment in other areas of our business.
 

 
 
 
14

 
 
 
Our inability to obtain necessary facilities could hamper our operations.
 
Oil and gas exploration and development activities are dependent on the availability of drilling and related equipment, transportation, power and technical support in the particular areas where these activities will be conducted, and our access to these facilities may be limited.  To the extent that we conduct our activities in remote areas, the facilities required may not be proximate to our operations, which will increase our expenses.  Demand for scarce equipment and other facilities or access restrictions may affect the availability of such equipment to us and may delay exploration and development activities.  The quality and reliability of necessary facilities may also be unpredictable and we may be required to make efforts to standardize our facilities, which may entail unanticipated costs and delays.  Shortages and/or the unavailability of necessary equipment or other facilities will impair our activities, either by delaying our activities, increasing our costs or otherwise.

Prices and markets for oil and natural gas are unpredictable and tend to fluctuate significantly, which could reduce profitability, growth and the value of our business.
 
Oil and natural gas are commodities whose prices are determined based on world demand, supply and other factors, all of which are beyond our control.  World prices for oil and natural gas have fluctuated widely in recent years.  The average price per barrel was $79.48 in 2010 and $94.88 in 2011, and the average wellhead price per thousand cubic feet of natural gas was $4.16 in 2010 and $3.95 in 2011 (source: U.S. Energy Information Administration).We expect that prices will continue to fluctuate in the future.  Price fluctuations will have a significant impact upon our revenue, the return from our reserves and on our financial condition generally.  Price fluctuations for oil and natural gas commodities may also impact the investment market for companies engaged in the oil and gas industry.  Decreases in the prices of oil and natural gas may have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, the future results of our operations and the quantities of reserves recoverable on an economic basis.

Increases in our operating expenses will impact our operating results and financial condition.
 
Exploration, development, production, marketing (including distribution costs) and regulatory compliance costs (including taxes) will substantially impact the net revenues and profits we derive from the oil and natural gas that we produce.  These costs are subject to fluctuations and variation in the different locales in which we  operate, and we may not be able to predict or control these costs.  If these costs exceed our expectations, this may adversely affect our consolidated results of operations.  In addition, we may not be able to earn net revenue at our predicted levels, which may impact our ability to satisfy our obligations.
 
Penalties we may incur could impair our business.

Failure to comply with government regulations could subject us to civil and criminal penalties, could require us to forfeit property rights, and may affect the value of our assets.  We may also be required to take corrective actions, such as installing additional equipment or taking other actions, each of which could require us to make substantial capital expenditures.  We could also be required to indemnify our employees in connection with any expenses or liabilities that they may incur individually in connection with regulatory action against them.  As a result, our future business prospects could deteriorate due to regulatory constraints, and our profitability could be impaired by our obligation to provide such indemnification to our employees.

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 our company.

Oil and gas operations are subject to federal, state, and local laws relating to the protection of the environment, including laws regulating the 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. We generally maintain insurance coverage customary to the industry; however, we are not fully insured against all possible environmental risks. 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 the future and this may affect our ability to expand or maintain our operations.

Exploration activities are subject to certain environmental regulations which may prevent or delay the commencement or continuance of our operations.
 
In general, our exploration 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 consolidated results of 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.
 
We believe that our operations comply, in all material respects, with all applicable environmental regulations. Our operating partners generally maintain insurance coverage customary to the industry; however, we are not fully insured against all possible environmental risks.

Exploratory drilling involves many risks and we may become liable for pollution or other liabilities which may have an adverse effect on our consolidated 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 consolidated financial position and operations.

Any change in government regulation and/or 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 which 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 or regulatory agency, or other 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.

Our insurance may be inadequate to cover liabilities we may incur.

Our involvement in the exploration for and development of oil and gas properties may result in our becoming subject to liability for pollution, blow-outs, property damage, personal injury or other hazards.  Although we will obtain insurance in accordance with industry standards to address such risks, such insurance has limitations on liability that may not be sufficient to cover the full extent of such liabilities.  In addition, such risks may not, in all circumstances, be insurable or, in certain circumstances, we may choose not to obtain insurance to protect against specific risks due to the high premiums associated with such insurance or for other reasons.  The payment of such uninsured liabilities would reduce the funds available to us.  If we suffer a significant event or occurrence that is not fully insured, or if the insurer of such event is not solvent, we could be required to divert funds from capital investment or other uses towards covering our liability for such events.

Our business will suffer if we cannot obtain or maintain the necessary licenses.

Our operations will require licenses, permits and in some cases renewals of licenses and permits from various governmental authorities.  Our ability to obtain, sustain or renew such licenses and permits on acceptable terms is subject to changes in regulations and policies and to the discretion of the applicable government agencies, among other factors.  Our inability to obtain, or our loss of or denial of extension, to any of these licenses or permits could hamper our ability to produce revenues from our operations.

Challenges to our properties may impact our consolidated financial condition.
 
Title to oil and gas interests is often not capable of conclusive determination without incurring substantial expense.  While we intend to make appropriate inquiries into the title of properties and other development rights we acquire, title defects may exist.  In addition, we may be unable to obtain adequate insurance for title defects, on a commercially reasonable basis or at all.  If title defects do exist, it is possible that we may lose all or a portion of our right, title and interests in and to the properties to which the title defects relate.  If our property rights are reduced, our ability to conduct our exploration, development and production activities may be impaired.
 
We will rely on technology to conduct our business and our technology could become ineffective or obsolete.

We rely on technology, including geographic and seismic analysis techniques and economic models, to develop our reserve estimates and to guide our exploration, development and production activities.  We will be required to continually enhance and update our technology to maintain its efficacy and to avoid obsolescence.  The costs of doing so may be substantial, and may be higher than the costs that we anticipate for technology maintenance and development.  If we are unable to maintain the efficacy of our technology, our ability to manage our business and to compete may be impaired.  Further, even if we are able to maintain technical effectiveness, our technology may not be the most efficient means of reaching our objectives, in which case we may incur higher operating costs than we would were our technology more efficient.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMMON STOCK

There has been a limited trading market for our common stock.

It is anticipated that there will be a limited trading market for our common stock on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”).  The lack of an active market may impair your ability to sell your shares at the time you wish to sell them or at a price that you consider reasonable.  The lack of an active market may also reduce the fair market value of your shares.  An inactive market may also impair our ability to raise capital by selling shares of capital stock and may impair our ability to acquire other companies or assets by using common stock as consideration.
 
You may have difficulty trading and obtaining quotations for our common stock.

The common stock may not be actively traded, and the bid and asked prices for our common stock on the OTCBB may fluctuate widely.  As a result, investors may find it difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations of the price of, our securities.  This severely limits the liquidity of the common stock, and would likely reduce the market price of our common stock and hamper our ability to raise additional capital.

Our common stock is not currently traded at high volume, and you may be unable to sell at or near ask prices or at all if you need to sell or liquidate a substantial number of shares at one time.

Our common stock is currently traded, but with very low, if any, volume, based on quotations on the “Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board”, meaning that the number of persons interested in purchasing our common stock at or near bid prices at any given time may be relatively small or non-existent.  This situation is attributable to a number of factors, including the fact that we are a small company which is still relatively unknown to stock analysts, stock brokers, institutional investors and others in the investment community that generate or influence sales volume, and that even if we came to the attention of such persons, they tend to be risk-averse and would be reluctant to follow an unproven company such as ours or purchase or recommend the purchase of our shares until such time as we became more seasoned and viable.  As a consequence, there may be periods of several days or more when trading activity in our shares is minimal or non-existent, as compared to a seasoned issuer which has a large and steady volume of trading activity that will generally support continuous sales without an adverse effect on share price.  We cannot give you any assurance that a broader or more active public trading market for our common stock will develop or be sustained, or that trading levels will be sustained.

Shareholders should be aware that, according to Commission Release No. 34-29093, the market for “penny stocks” has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse.  Such patterns include (1) control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; (2) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; (3) boiler room practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons; (4) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differential and markups by selling broker-dealers; and (5) the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the resulting inevitable collapse of those prices and with consequent investor losses.  Our management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market.  Although we do not expect to be in a position to dictate the behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market, management will strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent the described patterns from being established with respect to our securities. The occurrence of these patterns or practices could increase the future volatility of our share price.

The market price of our common stock may, and is likely to continue to be, highly volatile and subject to wide fluctuations.

The market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a number of factors that are beyond our control, including:
 
 
dilution caused by our issuance of additional shares of common stock and other forms of equity securities in connection with future capital financings to fund our operations and growth, to attract and retain valuable personnel and in connection with future strategic partnerships with other companies;
 
announcements of new acquisitions, reserve discoveries or other business initiatives by our competitors;
 
our ability to take advantage of new acquisitions, reserve discoveries or other business initiatives;
 
fluctuations in revenue from our oil and gas business as new reserves come to market;
 
changes in the market for oil and natural gas commodities and/or in the capital markets generally;
 
changes in the demand for oil and natural gas, including changes resulting from the introduction or expansion  of alternative fuels;
 
quarterly variations in our revenues and operating expenses;
 
changes in the valuation of similarly situated companies, both in our industry and in other industries;
 
changes in analysts’ estimates affecting our company, our competitors and/or our industry;
 
changes in the accounting methods used in or otherwise affecting our industry;
 
additions and departures of key personnel;
 
announcements by relevant governments pertaining to incentives for alternative energy development programs;
 
fluctuations in interest rates and the availability of capital in the capital markets; and
 
significant sales of our common stock, including sales by future investors in future offerings we expect to make to raise additional capital.
              
These and other factors are largely beyond our control, and the impact of these risks, singly or in the aggregate, may result in material adverse changes to the market price of our common stock and/or our consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

We do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.

We do not intend to declare dividends for the foreseeable future, as we anticipate that we will reinvest any future earnings in the development and growth of our business.  Therefore, investors will not receive any funds unless they sell their common stock, and stockholders may be unable to sell their shares on favorable terms or at all.  Investors cannot be assured of a positive return on investment or that they will not lose the entire amount of their investment in the common stock.

Our officers, directors and principal shareholders own a controlling interest in our voting stock and investors will not have any voice in our management.

Our officers, directors and principal shareholders in the aggregate, beneficially own or control the votes of approximately 74.15% of our outstanding common stock. As a result, these stockholders, acting together, will have the ability to control substantially all matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, including:

 
election of our board of directors;
 
removal of any of our directors;
 
amendment of our certificate of incorporation or bylaws; and
 
adoption of measures that could delay or prevent a change in control or impede a merger, takeover or other business combination involving us.

As a result of their ownership and positions, our directors, executive officers and principal shareholders collectively are able to influence all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. In addition, sales of significant amounts of shares held by our directors, executive officers or principal shareholders, or the prospect of these sales, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Management's stock ownership may discourage a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us, which in turn could reduce our stock price or prevent our stockholders from realizing a premium over our stock price.

Efforts to comply with recently enacted changes in securities laws and regulations will increase our costs and require additional management resources.
 
As directed by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the SEC adopted rules requiring public companies to include a report of management on their internal controls over financial reporting in their annual reports on Form 10-K. In addition, in the event we are no longer a smaller reporting company, the independent registered public accounting firm auditing our consolidated financial statements would be required to attest to the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting. Such attestation requirement by our independent registered public accounting firm would not be applicable to us until the report for the year ended December 31, 2012 at the earliest, if at all.  If we are unable to conclude that we have effective internal controls over financial reporting or if our independent registered public accounting firm is required to, but is unable to provide us with a report as to the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting, investors could lose confidence in the reliability of our financial statements, which could result in a decrease in the value of our securities.

Our common stock is subject to the "penny stock" rules of the SEC and the trading market in our securities is limited, which makes transactions in our stock cumbersome and may reduce the value of an investment in our stock.

The SEC has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes the definition of a "penny stock," for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require:

  
that a broker or dealer approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks; and
  
the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased.
 
In order to approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must:

  
obtain financial information and confirm the investment experience and objectives of the person; and
  
make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and that the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks.

The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form:

  
sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and
  
that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction.

Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the "penny stock" rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our stock.

Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.

FINRA sales practice requirements may also limit a shareholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.

In addition to the “penny stock” rules described above, FINRA 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, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. The FINRA 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.

ITEM 1B.  UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS.

None.

ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES.

Our principal executive offices are located at 218 N. Broadway, Suite 204 Tyler, Texas 75702. Our telephone number is (903) 595-4139.
 
The principal executive office occupies 2,200 square feet.  The term of the original lease was for a five-year period which expired August 31, 2010 and the principal executive office began to be leased monthly.   Between January and November 2011, the monthly rate was $2,200.  Effective December 2011, the monthly rent was reduced to $1,300.  
 
  Our field operations are conducted out of our Jefferson, Texas office at 3546 N. US Hwy. 59, Jefferson, Texas 75657, and the phone number is (903) 665-8225.  The lease was amended on July 1, 2008 to add an additional 3,600 square feet for a total of 5,300 square feet.  The monthly rent was also amended as of that date from $750 to $4,500 per month. The lease expired on January 1, 2012 and the office space is now being leased monthly.  The monthly cost includes surface-use rights for the storing of equipment. 
 
Our oil and gas assets are located in Cass and Marion counties in northeast Texas. As of December 31, 2011, we operated eight wells.
 
As of March 12, 2012, our leasehold position is approximately 30,000 gross acres and 20,500 net acres with working acres of 13,800, which represents 25% to 80% working interest in the acreage. Our leasing program’s primary objective is to support the planned drilling program by securing holdout leases in those units where we plan to drill over the next twelve months and renew leases that are due to expire in the units where we plan to drill.  Most of our proved undeveloped acreage is subject to lease expiration if initial wells are not drilled within a specified period, generally not exceeding three years.  Our intention is to renew all leases within our planned drilling zones that expire in the next three years.
          
In addition to the operating of the wells, we own an 80% undivided interest in approximately 40 miles of a natural gas pipeline.
 
ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. Except as described below, we are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that we believe will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our business, consolidated financial condition, or operating results.

On or about January 27, 2012, purported shareholders of Prodigy Oil and Gas, LLC (“Prodigy”), a minority working interest partner on one of our projects, filed a lawsuit in District Court, Dallas, Texas against Prodigy, us and others, by filing a Petition.  The case is William Hall, et al. v. Prodigy Oil & Gas, LLC, et al., Cause No. DC-12-01065.  In this action, the plaintiffs seek the return of investments made in Prodigy, and believe that some of those funds were given to us.  The plaintiffs have not accused us of wrongdoing, and only that they believe we hold money and profits that they are entitled to as constructive trustees. On March 22, 2012, we filed our answer, in which we denied all allegations, requested that the lawsuit be dismissed against us, and requested that Plaintiff pay our attorneys’ fees for defending the frivolous lawsuit.

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

Forward Looking Statements

This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations includes a number of forward-looking statements that reflect Management's current views with respect to future events and financial performance. You can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “may” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate” and “continue,” or similar words.  Those statements include statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of us and the management team as well as the assumptions on which such statements are based. Prospective investors are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risk and uncertainties, and that actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements.

Readers are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us in this report and in our other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Important  factors  currently  known  to us could  cause  actual  results  to differ  materially  from  those in forward-looking  statements.  We undertake no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes in the future operating results over time. We believe that our assumptions are based upon reasonable data derived from and the business and operations of the Company.  No assurances are made that the actual results of operations or the results of our future activities will not differ materially from our assumptions.  Factors that could cause differences include, but are not limited to, expected market demand for the Company’s products, fluctuations in pricing for materials, and competition.

Company Overview

We are an independent energy company engaged in the exploration for and production of crude oil and natural gas.  Our focus is on the development of a repeatable, low-geological risk, high-potential project in the active East Texas oil and gas region.  We currently hold interests in properties located in Cass and Marion Counties, Texas, home to the Rodessa oil field.  This field has historically been the domain of small independent operators and is not a legacy field for any major oil company.

Our business strategy in what we have designated the “Cornerstone Project”, is to identify and exploit resources in and adjacent to existing or indicated producing areas within the mature Rodessa field. We believe that we are uniquely familiar with the history and geology of the Cornerstone Project area based on our collective experience in the region as well as through our development and ownership of a large proprietary database which details the drilling history of the Cornerstone Project area since 1980.  Having assembled a substantial acreage position over recent years we intend to quickly develop these resources from 2012 onwards. We plan to develop and produce reserves at low cost and will take an aggressive approach to exploiting our contiguous acreage position through utilization of the latest “best in class” drilling and completion techniques.   We believe that implementing the latest proven drilling and completion techniques to exploit our geological insight in the Cornerstone Project area will enable us to find significant oil and gas reserves.
 
We conduct our main exploration and production operations through our wholly owned subsidiary, POI. As of December 31, 2011, we operated 8 wells.  We conduct additional operations through another wholly owned subsidiary, TR Rodessa.
 
TR Rodessa owns an 80% undivided interest in and operates a 40-mile natural gas pipeline and gathering system which we use to transport our hydrocarbons to market.  Excess capacity on this system is used to transport third-party hydrocarbons.

Plan of Operations

We intend to continue to use our competitive strengths to advance our corporate strategy. The following are key elements of that strategy:

  
Continue to lease underdeveloped acreage in the Cornerstone Project area.  As of December 31, 2011, our leasehold position is approximately 26,900 gross acres and 18,000 net acres, of which our working interest in the net acres is approximately 12,000.  During 2011, we completed our lease program with two lease fund partners from which we received $5.2 million.  Our priority is now drilling and consequently our leasing program’s primary objective is to support the planned drilling program by securing holdout leases in those units where we plan to drill over the next twelve months and renewing leases that are due to expire in those units where we plan to drill.

We continue to use our extensive proprietary database to optimize additional drilling locations and to acquire additional acreage in the Cornerstone Project area.  Most properties in the project area are held by smaller independent companies that lack the resources and expertise to exploit them fully.  We intend to pursue these opportunities to selectively expand our portfolio of properties.  These acreage additions will complement our existing substantial acreage position in the area and provide us with additional drilling opportunities.

  
Develop the resources of the Cornerstone Project through a drilling program.   The Swamp Fox #1 test well was recompleted in November 2011 and a complete evaluation of the well is still in progress.  We have a 28% working interest in the well.  In 2012, our drilling program will be limited to development and will feature two components:

 
Horizontal wells targeting the Bossier/Cotton Valley Limestone.  We will employ the latest horizontal drilling and dynamic multi-stage fracking techniques that have proven so successful in the Bakken and elsewhere to target the low permeability oil bearing Bossier and Cotton Valley Limestone formations.  We anticipate these wells will yield significantly higher hydrocarbon flow rates than our vertical wells.  Our first horizontal well, the Morse #1 commenced drilling in January 2012.  We have a 70% working interest in the Morse #1 well; and

 
Vertical wells to offset the Norbord #1 discovery of 2010 in the Travis Peak.  We plan to maximize the present value of our vertical wells by utilizing a multi-zone production technique.  We will also implement the latest drilling, fracturing, and completion techniques, including shotgun duals, to develop our properties.  In December 2011, drilling began on the Haggard “A” #1 and the Haggard “B” #1 wells, which offset the Norbord #1.  We have a 48% working interest in the Haggard “A” and a 32% working interest in the Haggard “B” wells.

We expect this drilling program to significantly increase our proved reserves and cash flow profile.

  
Maintain a conservative and flexible financial strategy.  We will continue to maintain a low level of corporate overhead expense and utilize outsourcing, where appropriate, to maximize cash flow.  We believe that internally generated cash flow, coupled with reserve-based debt financing when appropriate, will provide the optimal capital structure to fund our future drilling activity.

Revenues:  Total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2011 totaled $1,188,282 compared to $888,066 for the year ended December 31, 2010.  Oil revenue for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 was $380,323 compared to $330,629 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010.  The increase of $49,694 in oil revenue was due to an average increase in oil prices of approximately 23% offset by a decrease in production of approximately 6.5% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 compared to the twelve months ended December 31, 2010.  The majority of the decrease was due to freeze conditions in February 2011, which prevented oil from flowing.  Gas revenue for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 was $458,273 compared to $247,578 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, resulting in an increase of $210,695.  The increase in gas revenue was due to an increase in gas production of approximately 90%, primarily from the Norbord well that began production in December 2010, offset by a decrease in the average price of gas of approximately 2%.  Transportation and gathering revenue increased $26,816 to $295,799 for the year ended December 31, 2011, compared to $268,983 for the year ended December 31, 2010.  The increase was mainly due to the Norbord gas being carried on our pipeline beginning in December 2010.   
 
Expenses:  Total operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2011 were $3,133,228, compared to $2,914,793 for the year ended December 31, 2010, resulting in a total increase of $218,435.  This change is comprised primarily of increases in lease operating expenses, depletion and depreciation, general and administrative expenses offset by a decrease in cost of gas purchased for resale.

Lease Operating Expenses:  Total lease operating expenses for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 were $443,588 compared to $312,505 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, which resulted in an increase of $131,083.  The primary reason for the increase was the Norbord well starting production in December 2010, which resulted in lease operating expenses for the Norbord well during the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 compared to none in the twelve months ended December 31, 2010.
 
 
 
Depletion and Depreciation:  The $90,461 increase in depletion and depreciation to $277,070 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 from $186,609 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010 was primarily due to an increase in the production of natural gas in 2011. The production in 2011 was 23,640 MBoe for the year compared to 14,626 MBoe for the year 2010.  This increase in production caused the percentage of depletion taken to increase, which in turn increased depletion expense.

 
General and Administrative Expense:  There was a $92,053 increase in general and administrative expense to $2,175,518 for the year ended December 31, 2011 from $2,083,465 for the year ended December 31,2010.  Accounting fees increased $229,645 during the twelve month period due to various matters including issues in obtaining required reports in a timely manner, 10-K restatement work done on the December 31, 2010 Form 10-K and the March 31, 2011 Form 10-Q related to our warrant derivative liability, and work performed on the initial implementation of the XBRL requirements.  This was offset by stock-based compensation of $230,302 paid in 2010, whereas there was no stock-based compensation paid in 2011. In 2011, foreign funding and advertising and marketing expenses increased by $53,104.  This increase related to the travel and work done to acquire new equity funding.  There was an increase in 2011 of $20,000 for consulting fees relating to stock issued.  Also in 2011, there was an increase of $24,309 for the purchase of a license for a geological data interpretation service.

 
Cost of Gas Purchased for Resale:  Total cost of gas purchased for resale for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 was $94,814 compared to $180,614 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, which resulted in a decrease of $85,800.  In February 2011, a third party operator began collecting the revenue from other companies’ gas that went through our pipelines, which eliminated our need to record cost of gas purchased for resale. 
 
Other Income (Expenses):  Total other expenses for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $3,409,063, compared to $4,267,467 for the year ended December 31, 2010, resulting in a decrease of $858,404.  In December 2010, the reset provisions in the 2007 warrant agreement were triggered, resulting in the recording of a change in fair value of the derivative warrant liability of $3,638,311 in 2010.  An increase in our stock price between December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2011 resulted in a non-cash loss of $1,846,025 in 2011, decreasing the amount recorded as a change in the fair value of our warrant derivative liability to $1,792,286 between the two years. Modifications to certain warrants in 2011 resulted in warrant modification expense of $900,660. See footnote #10, Warrants Outstanding, for additional details. There were no warrant modifications in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.  Interest expense increased $51,764 from $592,608 for the year ended December 31, 2010 to $644,372 for the year ended December 31, 2011. This increase is due to an increase in the balance of the Teton Promissory Note in 2010 as well as the accrued and unpaid interest on the Teton Renewal Note being added to the principal balance of the note in 2010, both of which resulted in higher interest expense.
 
Income Tax Expense:  During the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, we recognized a net income tax benefit of $0.  The 2011 income tax benefit of $274,813 related to continuing operations was offset by income tax expense of $274,813 related to discontinued operations.

Net Loss:  As a result of the above described revenues and expenses, we incurred a net loss of $4,568,828 in the year ended December 31, 2011 as compared to a net loss of $6,491,173 in the year ended December 31, 2010.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We held $6,749,368 in cash at December 31, 2011, made up of a majority of our cash accounts.  However, at December 31, 2011, several cash accounts had an overdraft that totaled $164,360, resulting in net cash of $6,585,008.  The increase in cash is related to an influx of cash from the sale of common stock in 2011. In addition, our trade accounts payable increased by $1,422,074 to $2,080,390 at the end of 2011, due to drilling activity on the Swamp Fox #1, Haggard A #1 and Haggard B #1 wells during the last quarter of 2011.

The net amount of cash used in operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2011 was $252,383.  This was a result of the net loss of $4,568,828 being offset by non-cash income and expense items totaling $2,314,820 as well as increases in various payables and other liabilities totaling $2,200,465.  The remaining usage in cash of $198,840 was from changes in various operating assets.  Non-cash income and expense items included a $1,846,025 change in the warrant derivative liability and a non-cash warrant modification expense of $900,660, which were offset by the $736,653 gain on the sale of 59 Disposal.

The net amount of cash used in operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2010 was $1,075,199.  This was a result of the net loss of $6,491,173 being offset by non-cash income and expense items totaling $4,158,399 as well as increases in various payables totaling $1,551,162.  The remaining usage in cash of $293,587 was from changes in various operating assets.  The non-cash income and expense items included a $3,638,311 change in the warrant derivative liability.

Cash provided by investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $110,966, compared to $91,278 provided by investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2010, resulting in an increase of $19,688.  There was an increase in lease and well equipment, and intangible drilling and completion costs for work done on the Norbord, Haggard, and Swamp Fox wells.  These costs increased from $249,268 for the year of 2010 to $1,272,783 for the year of 2011, resulting in an increase of $1,023,515.  We received $1,037,000 of proceeds from the sale of 59 Disposal in the year ended December 31, 2011.  There was also an $115,408 decrease in purchases of property and equipment and $5,000 in proceeds from the sale of property and equipment in the year ended December 31, 2011.

Cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2011 totaled $6,640,983, compared to $1,106,547 for the year ended December 31, 2010, resulting in an increase in cash of $5,534,436.  In the year ended December 31, 2011, we received $7,084,487 in gross proceeds from the sale of common stock and units of common stock and warrants, which were offset by $263,619 in financing costs; whereas we had no proceeds from sales of common stock in 2010.  No advances were received on the related party note payable during the year ended December 31, 2011; however, we received proceeds of $773,000 during the year ended December 31, 2010.  There was also a decrease of $175,758 in our cash overdrafts for the year ended December 31, 2011, compared to an increase in our cash overdraft of $340,118 for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Sources of Liquidity

Production revenues have not been sufficient to finance our operating expenses and we have therefore had to raise capital in recent years to fund our activities. On July 1, 2011 we sold our interest in certain assets of our wholly owned subsidiary, 59 Disposal, Inc. for proceeds of $1.04 million.  Proceeds from private placement offerings, the sale of 59 Disposal assets and production were sufficient to finance our operations through 2011.  Planned lease acquisitions and exploration, development, production and marketing activities, as well as administrative requirements (such as salaries, insurance expenses, general overhead expenses, legal compliance costs and accounting expenses) will require a substantial amount of additional capital and cash flow.

We currently do not have any contracts or commitments for funding and there are no guarantees that we will be able to raise additional funds on terms acceptable to us, if at all.  We may also consider farm-out agreements, whereby we would lease parts of our properties to other operators for drilling purposes and we would receive payment based on the production.  Present discussions with potential partners are based on pursuing an aggressive drilling program where we would be carried for an interest in any wells.

We are pursuing sources of additional capital through various financing transactions or arrangements, including joint venturing of projects, debt financing, equity financing or other means.  

2011 Off-Shore Financing

On July 28, 2011, we sold in a private placement a total of 5,388,900 Units (the “Units”), each Unit consisting of two (2) shares of common stock, $0.001 par value (the “Common Stock”) and a three-year warrant to purchase one (1) share of common stock at an exercise price of $0.60 per share (the “Warrants”), for an aggregate purchase price of $5,388,900.   On September 15, 2011 we sold an additional 195,587 Units under the private placement with the same terms for an aggregate purchase price of $195,587.  Placement, selling and consultant fees for the private placement totaled $257,619.

In connection with the private placement transaction, we engaged Beaufort International Associates Limited (“Beaufort”), a UK registered broker-dealer as our placement agent, which engaged Nicquel Limited (“Nicquel”), a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands, as a selling agent.  As consideration for services provided, we (i) paid Beaufort $59,184 and issued Beaufort three-year warrants to acquire 118,369 shares of Common Stock, at an exercise price of $0.60 per share, and (ii) issued Nicquel three-year warrants to acquire 720,160 shares of Common Stock, at an exercise price of $0.60 per share (collectively, the warrants issued to Beaufort and Nicquel are referred to as the “PA Warrants”).

The exercise price of the Warrants and PA Warrants is subject to customary adjustments provisions for stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends and recapitalization.  

In connection with the private placement and pursuant to the transaction agreements:

  
We agreed to file a registration statement covering the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and the PA Warrants; and

  
We placed $5.0 million of the net proceeds from the offering into a separate bank account, to be used exclusively for horizontal wells, on which Oliver Waldron, one of our directors, is a required signatory.

November 2011 Financing

In November 2011, we sold 3,333,334 shares of common stock at $0.45 per share to two non-affiliated accredited investors, for an aggregate purchase price of $1,500,000.30.  We incurred legal fees of $6,000.

March 2012 Financing

In March 2012, we sold 4,444,445 shares of common stock at $0.45 per share to one non-affiliated non-U.S. person, for a purchase price of $2,000,000.25.  We incurred legal and escrow fees of $10,000.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our consolidated financial condition, revenues, results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures.

Critical Accounting Policies
 
Our critical accounting policies, including the assumptions and judgments underlying them, are disclosed in the notes to consolidated financial statements which accompany the consolidated financial statements.  These policies have been consistently applied in all material respects and address such matters as revenue recognition and depreciation methods.  The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the recorded amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from these estimates. 
 
Accounts Receivable

We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers’ financial condition and extend credit to virtually all of our customers.  Collateral is generally not required, nor is interest charged on past due balances.  Credit losses to date have not been significant and have been within management’s expectations.  In the event of complete non-performance by our customers, our maximum exposure is the outstanding accounts receivable balance at the date of non-performance.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from five to thirty-nine years.  Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives are capitalized.  Expenditures for normal maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.  Upon the sale or abandonment, the cost of the equipment and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gains or losses thereon are recognized in the operating results of the respective period.

Oil and Gas Properties

We use the full-cost method of accounting for our oil and gas producing activities, which are all located in Texas.  Accordingly, all costs associated with the acquisition, exploration, and development of oil and gas reserves, including directly-related overhead costs, are capitalized.

All capitalized costs of oil and gas properties, including the estimated future costs to develop proved reserves, are amortized on the units-of-production method using estimates of proved reserves.  Investments in unproved properties and major development projects are not amortized until proved reserves associated with the projects can be determined or until impairment occurs.  If the results of an assessment indicate that the properties are impaired, the amount of the impairment will be added to the capitalized costs to be amortized.
 
In addition, the capitalized costs are subject to a “ceiling test,” which limits such costs to the aggregate of the “estimated present value,” discounted at a ten percent interest rate, of future net revenues from proved reserves, based on current economic and operating conditions, plus the lower of cost or fair market value of unproved properties and less the income tax effects related to the properties.

Sales of proved and unproved properties are accounted for as adjustments of capitalized costs with no gain or loss recognized, unless such adjustments would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves of oil and gas, in which case the gain or loss is recognized in the operating results of the respective period.
 
 
26

 
  
Derivative Instruments
 
For derivative instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings each reporting period. For warrant derivative instruments, the Company uses the Black-Scholes model to value the derivative instruments at inception and subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as a liability or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period, in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not the net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

Fair Value of our Debt and Equity Instruments

Many of our various debt and equity transactions require us to determine the fair value of a debt or equity instrument in order to properly record the transaction in our consolidated financial statements.  Fair value is generally determined by applying widely acceptable valuation models, (e.g. the Black Scholes model) using the trading price of the underlying instrument or by comparison to instruments with comparable maturities and terms.
 
Revenue Recognition

We utilize the accrual method of accounting for crude oil and natural gas revenues, whereby revenues are recognized based on our net revenue interest in the wells.  Crude oil inventories are immaterial and are not recorded.

Gas imbalances are accounted for using the entitlement method.  Under this method, revenues are recognized only to the extent of our proportionate share of the gas sold.  However, we have no history of significant gas imbalances.

Income Taxes

Deferred income taxes are determined using the “liability method” in accordance with FASB ASC Topic No. 740, Income Taxes.  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 their respective tax bases.
 
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which such temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the operating results of the period that includes the enactment date.  In addition, a valuation allowance is established to reduce any deferred tax asset for which it is determined that it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements.  This standard requires reporting entities to provide information about movements of assets among Levels 1 and 2 of the three-tier fair value hierarchy established by SFAS No. 157 (FASB ASC 820).  In May 2011, the FASB issued additional guidance regarding fair value measurement and disclosure requirements.  The most significant change will require for Level 3 fair value measurements, a disclosure of quantitative information about unobservable inputs used, a description of the valuation processes used, and a qualitative discussion about the sensitivity of the measurements.  The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011.  We do not expect adoption of the additional fair value measurement and disclosure requirements to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 


To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Pegasi Energy Resources Corporation and subsidiaries

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Pegasi Energy Resources Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended.  These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated 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.  An audit includes 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 also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall 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 Pegasi Energy Resources Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

PEGASI ENERGY RESOURCES CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2011 AND 2010
 
 
1.   NATURE OF OPERATIONS
 
Pegasi Energy Resources Corporation (“PERC,” or the “Company”) is engaged in the exploration and production of natural gas and oil through the development of a repeatable, low geological risk, high potential project in the active East Texas oil and gas region.  The Company's business strategy, which it designated as the “Cornerstone Project,” is to identify and exploit resources in and adjacent to existing or indicated producing areas within the Rodessa field area.  PERC’s principals spent over three years and invested over $3.5 million in equity for data harvesting, prospect evaluation and acreage acquisitions for the Cornerstone Project.  

PERC is the successor entity to First Southern Crown Ltd. ("FSC"), a Texas limited partnership formed in December 2002.   In December 2004, FSC sold a thirty percent (30%) interest in all of its production, acreage position, pipeline and a thirty percent (30%) partnership interest in 59 Disposal, Inc. ("59 Disposal") (PERC’s disposal plant) to Marion Energy Limited ("Marion"), an entity publicly traded on the Australian stock exchange ("ASE.ax").  In February 2007, Marion traded its 30% partnership interest in 59 Disposal for a 30% undivided ownership in 59 Disposal’s assets.  Marion later sold its 30% undivided interest in 59 Disposal’s assets, its production interest, acreage position, and its pipeline interest to TR Energy, Inc. (“TR Energy”), a related party.  In 2008, the Company acquired an additional 10% interest in these assets in exchange for 4.2 million shares of the Company’s stock.
 
PERC conducts its main exploration and production operations through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Pegasi Operating, Inc. ("POI").  It conducts additional operations through another wholly-owned subsidiary: TR Rodessa, Inc. ("TR Rodessa"). Prior to the sale of its assets on July 1, 2011, the Company also conducted additional operations through its wholly-owned subsidiary, 59 Disposal.   

TR Rodessa owns an 80% undivided interest in and operates a 40-mile natural gas pipeline and gathering system which is currently being used by PERC to transport its hydrocarbons to market.  Excess capacity on this system is used to transport third-party hydrocarbons.  Prior to its sale, 59 Disposal owned an 80% undivided interest in and operated a saltwater disposal facility which disposed saltwater and flow back waste into subsurface storage.
  
2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a)  Consolidation and Use of Estimates

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted (“GAAP”) in the United States of America and include the accounts of PERC and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.  All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.  In preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements, management has made certain estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and disclosures.  Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates made in preparing these consolidated financial statements include, among other things, estimates of the proved oil and natural gas reserve volumes used in calculating depletion expense; the estimated future cash flows and fair value of properties used in determining the need for any impairment write-down; operating costs accrued; volumes and prices for revenues accrued; estimates of the fair value of stock-based compensation awards; and the timing and amount of future abandonment costs used in calculating asset retirement obligations.  Future changes in the assumptions used could have a significant impact on reported results in future periods.

b)  Cash and Cash Equivalents

We consider all highly-liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents.   We include our overnight sweep accounts that are invested in federal obligations in our cash balances. 

c)  Accounts Receivable

The Company’s accounts receivable consists primarily of oil and natural gas sales and joint interest billings, which are recorded at the invoiced amount. Collateral is not required for such receivables, nor is interest charged on past due balances.  The Company extends credit based on management’s assessment of the customers’ financial condition and evaluates the allowance for doubtful accounts based on a receivable aging, customer disputes and general business and economic conditions.  No allowance was indicated at December 31, 2011 or 2010.  As of December 31, 2011, two customers totaled approximately 69% and 21% of the Company’s total accounts receivable. Accounts receivables from three customers, two of which are the same in 2011, approximated 38%, 36%, and 19% of total trade receivables at December 31, 2010.

d)  Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from five to thirty-nine years.  Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives are capitalized.  Expenditures for normal maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.   Upon sale or abandonment, the cost of the equipment and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gains or losses thereon are recognized in the operating results of the respective period.   Depreciation expense was $76,144 and $148,069 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  

e)  Oil and Gas Properties

The Company uses the full-cost method of accounting for its oil and gas producing activities, which are all located in Texas. Accordingly, all costs associated with the acquisition, exploration, and development of oil and gas reserves, including directly related overhead costs, are capitalized.

All capitalized costs of oil and gas properties, including the estimated future costs to develop proved reserves, are amortized on the units-of-production method using estimates of proved reserves. Investments in unproved properties and major development projects are not amortized until proved reserves associated with the projects can be determined or until impairment occurs. If the results of an assessment indicate that the properties are impaired, the amount of the impairment shall be added to the capitalized costs to be amortized.  Depletion expense for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 was $200,926 and $117,825 ($8.50 and $8.06 per equivalent barrel), respectively.

All items classified as unproved property are assessed on an annual basis for possible impairment or reduction in value.  Properties are assessed on an individual basis or as a group if properties are individually insignificant.  The assessment includes consideration of various factors, including, but not limited to, the following: intent to drill; remaining lease term; geological and geophysical evaluations; drilling results and activity; assignment of proved reserves; and economic viability of development if proved reserves are assigned.  During any period in which these factors indicate an impairment, the cumulative drilling costs incurred to date for such property and all or a portion of the associated leasehold costs are transferred to the full cost pool and become subject to amortization.  As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, our net capitalized costs of oil and gas properties did not exceed the present value of our estimated proved reserves therefore the accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include a provision for impairment.

Sales of proved and unproved properties are accounted for as adjustments of capitalized costs with no gain or loss recognized, unless such adjustments would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves of oil and gas, in which case the gain or loss is recognized in the operating results of the period.

The following table sets forth a summary of oil and gas property costs not being amortized at December 31, 2011, by the year in which such costs were incurred. There are no individually significant properties or significant development projects included in costs not being amortized. The 2011 and 2010 amounts are net of reimbursements received in those years for costs incurred in prior years under our leasing program. The majority of the evaluation activities are expected to be completed within five to ten years.

f)  Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The carrying value of property and equipment is periodically evaluated under the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic No. 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment.   FASB ASC Topic No. 360 requires long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  When it is determined that the estimated future net cash flows of an asset will not be sufficient to recover its carrying amount, an impairment loss must be recorded to reduce the carrying amount to its estimated fair value.  The Company had no impairment in 2011 and 2010.
 
g)  Asset Retirement Obligations

FASB ASC Topic No. 410, Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations, requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which the liability is incurred.  For oil and natural gas properties, this is the period in which an oil or natural gas property is acquired or a new well is drilled.  An amount equal to and offsetting the liability is capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the Company’s oil and natural gas properties at its discounted fair value.  The liability is then accreted up by recording expense each period until it is settled or the well is sold, at which time the liability is reversed.  Estimates are based on historical experience in plugging and abandoning wells and estimated remaining lives of those wells based on reserve estimates.  The Company does not provide for a market risk premium associated with asset retirement obligations because a reliable estimate cannot be determined.  See Note 8 – Asset Retirement Obligations for additional information.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2011 AND 2010
 

h)  Revenue Recognition

The Company utilizes the accrual method of accounting for  crude oil and natural gas revenues, whereby revenues are recognized based on the Company’s net revenue interest in the wells.   Crude oil inventories are immaterial and are not recorded.  Gas imbalances are accounted for using the entitlement method.  Under this method revenues are recognized only to the extent of the Company’s proportionate share of the gas sold.  However, the Company has no history of significant gas imbalances.

i)  Stock-based Compensation

The Company has accounted for stock-based compensation under the provisions of FASB ASC 718-10-55.  The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense in the consolidated financial statements for equity-classified employee stock-based compensation awards based on the grant date fair value of the awards.  We account for non-employee share-based awards based upon FASB ASC 505-50, “Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees”.  During the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company recognized $0 and $230,302, respectively, of stock-based compensation expense which has been recorded as a general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations.
 
j) Derivative Instruments

For derivative instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings each reporting period. For warrant derivative instruments, the Company uses the Black-Scholes model to value the derivative instruments at inception and subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as a liability or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period, in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not the net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
 
k)  Income Taxes

Deferred income taxes are determined using the “liability method” in accordance with FASB ASC Topic No. 740, Income Taxes.  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 their respective tax bases.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the operating results of the period that includes the enactment date.  In addition, a valuation allowance is established to reduce any deferred tax asset for which it is determined that it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

l)  Net Loss per Common Share

Basic net loss per common share is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  The Company uses the treasury stock method of calculating fully diluted per share amounts whereby any proceeds from the exercise of stock options or other dilutive instruments are assumed to be used to purchase common shares at the average market price during the period. The dilutive effect of convertible securities is reflected in diluted loss per share by application of the if-converted method. Under this method, conversion shall not be assumed for the purposes of computing diluted loss per share if the effect would be anti-dilutive. For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 the Company had potentially dilutive shares of 31,980,959 and 26,985,880, respectively that were excluded from the earnings per share calculation because their impact would be antidilutive. For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share, as the effect of common stock equivalents are anti-dilutive.
  
m)  Fair Value of Financial Instruments

ASC Topic 825 requires certain disclosures regarding the fair value of financial instruments.  Fair value of financial instruments is made at a specific point in time, based on relevant information about financial markets and specific financial instruments.  As these estimates are subjective in nature, involving uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, they cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions can significantly affect estimated fair values.
 
ASC Topic 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and it considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.
 
ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC Topic 820 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
 
Level 1 - Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
 
Level 2 - Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.
 
Level 3 - Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

In accordance with the reporting requirements of FASB ASC Topic No. 825, Financial Instruments, the Company calculates the fair value of its assets and liabilities which qualify as financial instruments under this statement and includes this additional information in the notes to consolidated financial statements when the fair value is different than the carrying value of these financial instruments.  The estimated fair values of accounts receivable, accounts payable and other current assets and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying amounts due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments.  The carrying value of long-term debt approximates market value due to the use of market interest rates.

n)  New Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements.  This standard requires reporting entities to provide information about movements of assets among Levels 1 and 2 of the three-tier fair value hierarchy established by SFAS No. 157 (FASB ASC 820).  In May 2011, the FASB issued additional guidance regarding fair value measurement and disclosure requirements.  The most significant change will require for Level 3 fair value measurements, a disclosure of quantitative information about unobservable inputs used, a description of the valuation processes used, and a qualitative discussion about the sensitivity of the measurements.  The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011.  The Company does not expect adoption of the additional fair value measurement and disclosure requirements to have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

(o)  Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the comparative consolidated financial statements to conform to the current period’s presentation.

3.     RESTRICTED CASH

Collateral

Certificates of deposit have been posted as collateral supporting a reclamation bond guaranteeing remediation of our oil and gas properties in Texas.  As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the balance of the certificates of deposit totaled $78,285 and $77,947, respectively.

 Leasing Program

During the first quarter of 2010, the Company executed agreements with two independent oil and gas companies regarding leasing specific areas on the Cornerstone Project.  The agreements include both extensions and renewals of existing leaseholds that the Company currently holds and acquisitions of new leaseholds in order to expand the Company’s acreage position.  Funds received from these companies were restricted to the leasing programs and were considered released when they were spent in accordance with the agreements.  Total funds of $5,438,000 were received on these programs and $5,217,941 was spent on leasing activities, $20,291 was reclassed to drilling and $199,768 was refunded leaving a $ -0- balance in restricted cash for leases and lease program deposits at December 31, 2011.

Drilling Program

During the last quarter of 2010, the Company executed participation and operating agreements with various independent oil and gas companies regarding the drilling of various wells.   Funds received from these companies are restricted to the drilling programs and are considered released when they are spent in accordance with the agreements.  Total funds of $3,017,375 were received on these programs and $2,460,844 was spent on drilling activities, and $302,799 was reclassified to promote income, offsetting the Company’s unproved oil & gas properties, and $121,379 was reclassified to unearned promote, leaving a balance of $132,353 in restricted cash and drilling prepayments at December 31, 2011.

Teton Renewal Note

On June 1, 2010, a Promissory (Teton Renewal Note) note was executed to renew and extend the original note payable (Teton Note) which matured May 21, 2010.  The renewal note’s principal balance of $6,987,646 is the total of the outstanding principal of $5,952,303 and accrued and unpaid interest of $1,035,343 on the original note that was added to the note.  Interest payments were due on the note on October 1, 2010; January 12, 2011; and April 1, 2011. Effective October 1, 2010 an amendment to the Teton Renewal Note was executed to eliminate the October 1, 2010 interest payment.  Effective January 2, 2011, a second amendment was executed which eliminated the January 1, 2011 interest payment.  The final maturity date of the Teton Renewal Note was unchanged and remained June 1, 2011.  Teton has the right, but not the obligation to convert all or a portion of the indebtedness at any time after May 1, 2008, unless the debt is repaid before such date.  This option will continue in existence as long as any balance remains outstanding on the note.

On April 1, 2011, a third amendment was executed which eliminated the April 1, 2011 interest payment and extended the maturity date of the note from June 1, 2011 to June 1, 2013 at which time all outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest of the note will be due.  The amendment also added an event of default whereby Teton may declare default on the note if the Company does not raise funds during or as a result of their engagement with a placement agent whom they initially engaged on March 25, 2011.  No default was declared on this note prior to its subsequent amendment below.

On June 23, 2011, a fourth amendment was executed which extended the maturity date of the note from June 1, 2013 to June 1, 2015, at which time all outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest of the note will be due.  The event of default section remained the same as in the third amendment.

On May 1, 2007, a “memorandum of Understanding” was executed to grant Teton the right to convert the outstanding balance on the Teton Note into shares of PERC’s common stock at a fixed conversion price of $1.20 per share.  Teton has the right, but not the obligation to convert all or a portion of the indebtedness at any time after May 1, 2008, unless the debt is repaid before such date.  This option will continue in existence as long as any balance remains outstanding on the note.

On March 3, 2009, a “Second Amendment to Renewal Promissory Note and Loan Modification Agreement” (the “Second Amendment”) was executed, which amended the Teton Note.  This agreement added $550,000 of additional cash proceeds and $20,000 of advances payable to the outstanding balance of the Teton Note and pledged substantially all of the Company’s assets to secure repayment of the note.  The Second Amendment confirmed that the fixed conversion price of $1.20 per share would remain for the portion of the note payable balance that existed prior to its execution, and a fixed conversion price of $1.60 was agreed upon for conversion of the additional funds.

In May 2009, the third and fourth amendments to the Teton Note were executed.  The third amendment deferred the May 21, 2009 interest payment to September 21, 2009 and the fourth amendment added $350,000 of additional funds to the outstanding balance of the Teton Note.  In September 2009, the fifth amendment was executed, which added $175,000 of additional funds to the outstanding balance of the Teton Note and deferred the interest payment due date from September 21, 2009 to October 21, 2009.  In February 2010, the seventh amendment to the Teton Note, dated May 21, 2007, was executed.  This amendment amended the sixth amendment, executed in October 2009, to defer the October 21, 2009 interest payment to February 21, 2010.  The seventh amendment eliminated the February 21, 2010 interest payment.  The final maturity date of the Teton Note was unchanged and remained May 21, 2010.  Upon maturity, the outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest on this note was renewed and extended to a maturity date of June 1, 2011.  See the Teton Renewal Note above.  The maturity date was subsequently extended to June 1, 2015.

Teton Promissory Note

The Teton Promissory note was amended effective January 1, 2010 to eliminate the requirement of interest payments to be made on January 1, 2010; April 1, 2010; and October 1, 2010.  A second amendment was executed which increased the available balance to $1,500,000 effective March 2, 2010.  Effective July 1, 2010, a third amendment to the Teton Promissory was executed to eliminate the interest payment required on July 1, 2010 and to extend the maturity date of the note to January 2, 2011. Effective January 2, 2011, a fourth amendment was executed to extend the maturity date of the note from January 2, 2011, to April 2, 2011 at which time all outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest will be due.

On April 2, 2011, a fifth amendment was executed which eliminated the April 2, 2011 interest payment and extended the maturity of the note from April 2, 2011 to June 1, 2013 at which time all outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest of the note will be due.  The amendment also added an event of default whereby Teton may declare default on the note if the Company does not raise funds during or as a result of their engagement with a placement agent whom they initially engaged on March 25, 2011. In addition, the amendment granted Teton the right, to convert the outstanding balance on the Promissory note into shares of PERC’s common stock at a fixed conversion price of $0.60 per share.

On June 23, 2011, a sixth amendment was executed which extended the maturity date of the note from June 1, 2013 to June 1, 2015, at which time all outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest of the note will be due.  The event of default section and conversion of debt to equity section remained the same as in the fifth amendment.

8. ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS

Pursuant to FASB ASC Topic No. 410, Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations, the Company has recognized the fair value of its asset retirement obligations related to the plugging, abandonment, and remediation of oil and gas producing properties.  The present value of the estimated asset retirement costs has been capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the related long-lived assets, which approximated $232,730 and $219,040 at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

The liability has been accreted to its present value as of the end of each year.  The Company evaluated 13 wells, and has determined a range of abandonment dates through June 2026.

The following represents a reconciliation of the asset retirement obligations for the years ended December 31:

In order to ensure current costs are reflected in the estimation of retirement costs, the Company obtained assurance from its independent petroleum engineer in 2011 that the plugging costs used in the estimation are appropriate.  The Company uses the expected present value technique to measure the fair value of the asset retirement obligations which is classified as a Level 3 measurement under FASB ASC Topic No. 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.
 
9.  STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company has granted stock options to key employees, directors, and consultants as discussed below:

On May 29, 2007, the Company adopted the 2007 Stock Option Plan (the “2007 Plan”) for employees, consultants and such other persons selected by the plan administrator to provide a means to retain the services of such employees and strengthen their incentive to achieve the objectives of the Company and to provide an equity incentive to consultants and other persons to promote the success of the Company.  The 2007 Plan reserves 1,750,000 shares of common stock for issuance by the Company as stock options. 

On October 19, 2010, the Company adopted the 2010 Incentive Stock Option Plan (the “2010 Plan”) for directors, executives, and selected employees and consultants to reward them for making major contributions to the success of the Company by issuing long-term incentive awards under the 2010 Plan thereby providing them with an interest in the growth and performance of the Company.  The 2010 Plan reserves 5,000,000 shares of common stock for issuance by the Company as stock options, stock awards or restricted stock purchase offers.

There were no stock options granted during the year ended December 31, 2011.  On December 24, 2010, pursuant to the 2010 Plan, the Company issued stock options for 1,059,285 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.42 per share and 10,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share to various executives, and selected employees and consultants for their contributions to the success of the Company.   All of the options vested immediately upon issuance at December 24, 2010, and are exercisable at any time, in whole or part, until December 24, 2015.

The Company estimates the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing valuation model, consistent with the provisions of FASB ASC Topic No. 505, Equity and FASB ASC Topic No. 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation.  Key inputs and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of stock options include the grant price of the award, the expected option term, volatility of the Company’s stock, the risk-free rate and the Company’s dividend yield.  Estimates of fair value are not intended to predict actual future events or the value ultimately realized by grantees, and subsequent events are not indicative of the reasonableness of the original estimates of fair value made by the Company.  The Company used the simplified method to determine the expected term on the options issued in the year ended December 31, 2010, due to the lack of historical exercise data.
 
The following assumptions were used for the Black-Scholes model:

The fair value of each stock option is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.  No dividends were assumed due to the nature of the Company’s current business strategy.

As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had no unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested stock-based compensation arrangements.  There were no options granted or vested during the year ended December 31, 2011.  There were 1,069,285 options granted and vested during the year ended December 31, 2010.  
 
10.  WARRANTS OUTSTANDING

In December 2007, the Company issued warrants to placement agents to purchase 837,850 shares of common stock, of which 346,850 could be exercised cashless and 491,000 exercised at a price of $1.60 per share until December 31, 2012, as part of a securities purchase offering.  On January 24, 2008, the Company issued an additional 9,615 warrants to a placement agent under the same terms as the original warrants.  Also in December 2007, the Company issued 8,375,784 warrants to purchase 4,187,901 shares of common stock exercisable until December 31, 2012 in connection with a securities purchase agreement.  The warrants had an exercise price of $1.60 per share.

The 2007 Warrant Agreement contains anti-dilution protection rights (“ratchet provision”) which require an adjustment to the exercise price of the warrants and a proportional adjustment to the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants in the event the Company issues common stock, stock options, or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock, at a price per share lower than such exercise price.

Year ended December 31, 2011:

On March 1, 2011, the Company issued common shares at the then current market value of $0.40 to a consultant for the fair value of services rendered which triggered the ratchet provision of the 2007 Warrants.  The effect of the anti-dilution provision resulted in an adjustment to then number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants from 19,182,350 shares with an exercise price of $0.42 per share to 20,141,464 with an exercise price of $0.40 per share.

In September 2011, the Company issued warrants to investors in an offshore private placement transaction to persons who are not U.S. persons.  See Footnote 11 for additional details of the offering.  The Company issued warrants to purchase 5,584,487 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.60 per share, exercisable until September 15, 2014.  The Company also issued warrants to placement agents used in the offering to purchase 838,529 shares of common stock under the same terms as the investors’ warrants. None of the warrants issued under the private placement memorandum contained any anti-dilution protection rights.

In November 2011, two holders of the 2007 Warrants exercised their 1,083,335 warrants to acquire 2,166,668 shares on a cashless basis and received 790,570 shares of the Company’s common stock.

During 2011, the Company offered holders of our 2007 Warrants an option to consider modification of the warrant agreements. The terms of the modification offer would: (1) waive all prior registration rights penalties, (2) remove the cashless exercise feature, (3) change the exercise price from $0.40 to $0.50, (4) extend the exercise term of the warrants by two years, and (5) delete the full-ratchet provisions.  The removal of the cashless exercise feature effectively made the Company liable for a potential registration rights penalty effective sixty days after the agreements were signed.  See Note 18, Commitments and Contingencies, for further explanation.  The deletion of the full-ratchet provision resulted in a reclassification of the derivative liability on the signed agreements to additional paid-in capital.  See Note 12, Derivative Warrant Liability, for further explanation.

Pursuant to the modification agreement, we changed the terms of certain 2007 Warrant agreements representing 10,546,340 shares to increase their exercise price from $0.40 to $0.50 per share and to extend the exercise term by two years. These warrants were originally issued in conjunction with equity issues in 2007. The modification resulted in warrant modification expense of $900,660 which was calculated as the difference in the fair value of the warrants immediately before and immediately after the modification using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The following table details the significant assumptions used to compute the fair market value of the warrant modifications:

Year ended December 31, 2010:
 
On December 24, 2010, the Company issued non-excluded stock options to a third party with an exercise price of $0.42 which was below the original exercise of $1.60 contained in the agreement which triggered the ratchet provision of the 2007 Warrants.  The effect of the anti-dilution provision resulted in an adjustment to the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants from 5,035,367 shares with an exercise price of $1.60 per share to 19,182,350 shares with an exercise price of $0.42 per share.

 The outstanding warrants had an intrinsic value of $529,622 at December 31, 2011.  All of the 14,562,930 warrants outstanding at December 31, 2011 are exercisable.

11.  STOCKHOLDER’S EQUITY

Share Capital

On October 19, 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors and a majority of its shareholders approved an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation of the Company to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share to 125,000,000 shares.   The amendment also authorized 5,000,000 shares of blank-check preferred stock, par value $.001.

Common Stock Issuances

Stock issued for cash, net of share issuance costs:

On September 15, 2011, the Company completed the sale of common stock and warrants under a Private Placement whereby securities were offered in an offshore transaction to non-U.S. persons only.  For each Unit purchased by an investor under the private placement, such investor received two (2) shares of common stock, $0.001 par value and a warrant to purchase one (1) share of common stock at an exercise price of $0.60 per share. The warrants are immediately exercisable and have a term of three years from the date of issuance.  Each Unit was sold at a sales price of $1.00 amounting to $0.50 per share of common stock.  The Company received gross proceeds from the private placement of $5,584,487, before deducting placement agents’ fees and offering expenses totaling $257,619.  Net offering proceeds of $5,326,868 were recorded as an addition to stockholders’ equity, after the deduction of offering and related closing costs of the transaction.

On November 29, 2011, the Company completed a stock purchase agreement in which we sold 3,333,334 shares of common stock, $.001 par value per share, at a price of $0.45 per share to raise gross proceeds of $1,500,000, before deducting offering expenses of $6,000, resulting in net cash proceeds of $1,494,000.

Stock issued for services:

During the year ended December 31, 2011, we issued 50,000 shares of common stock to consultants valued at $20,000.  The shares were valued using the closing market price on the date of the grant. This expense has been recorded as a general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

12.  DERIVATIVE WARRANT LIABILITY

In fiscal year 2010, we adopted FASB ASC Topic No. 815-40 (formerly EITF 07-05) which defines determining whether an instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to an entity’s own stock.  This guidance specifies that a contract that would otherwise meet the definition of a derivative but is both (1) indexed to our stock and (b) classified in stockholders’ equity in the statement of financial position, would not be considered a derivative financial instrument and provides a two-step model to be applied in determining whether a financial instrument or an embedded feature is indexed to an issuer’s own stock and thus able to qualify for the scope exception.

As a result of this adoption, the 2007 Warrants previously treated as equity pursuant to the derivative treatment exemption are no longer afforded equity treatment because these warrants have an adjustment provision applicable to the exercise price that adjusts the exercise price downward in the event we subsequently issue common stock, stock warrants, stock options or convertible debt with a stock price, exercise price or conversion price lower than the original exercise price of $1.60 per share.  As a result, the 2007 Warrants are not considered indexed to our stock, and as such, all future changes in the fair value of these warrants will be recognized currently in earnings in our consolidated statement of operations under the caption “Other income(expense) – Change in fair value of warrant derivative liability” until such time as the warrants are exercised or expire.

 Since the exercise price of the 2007 Warrants can be potentially decreased and the number of shares to settle the Warrants increased each time a trigger event occurs that results in a new adjusted exercise price below the adjusted exercise price then in effect, there could be a potentially infinite number of shares required to settle the Warrant agreement.  However, the Company has the capability of limiting the occurrence of such events.

In December 2010, the 2007 Warrants, then representing 5,035,367 shares were reset to an exercise price of $0.42 per share and into a total number of shares of 19,182,350.  In March 2011, these warrants, then representing 19,182,350 shares were reset to an exercise price of $0.40 per share and into 20,141,464 shares.

In November 2011, two investors exercised 1,083,335 of the 2007 Warrants representing 2,166,668 shares on a cashless basis.  This reduced the derivative liability by $691,817 and increased additional paid-in capital by the same amount.  The fair value of the remaining 2007 Warrants was $1,949,200 at December 31, 2011.  We recognized a loss of $1,846,025 related to the change in the fair value of these warrants during the year ended December 31, 2011.

Pursuant to the warrant modification agreement discussed in Note 10, we modified certain 2007 Warrant agreements representing 10,546,340 shares to eliminate the ratchet provision contained in the original agreements.  Since these agreements no longer had derivative features as a result of the modification, the amount of derivative warrant liabilities associated with the shares have been reclassified from derivative warrant liabilities to additional paid-in capital. The amount reclassified due to this modification was $2,843,299.

The Company used the Black-Scholes valuation model to estimate the fair value of the warrant derivative liability. Significant assumptions used at December 31, 2011 were as follows:

 
2011
 
     
Market value of stock on reporting date (1)
  $ 0.53  
Risk-free interest rate (2)
    0.11 %
Dividend yield (3)
    0.00 %
Volatility factor
    110.68 %
Expected life (4)
0.96 years
 
         

(1)  The market value of the stock on the data of reporting was based on reported public market prices.
(2)  The risk-free interest rate was determined by management using the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield over the contractual term of the warrant on date of reporting.
(3)  Management determined the dividend yield to be 0% based upon its expectation that there will not be earnings available to pay dividends in the near term.
(4)  Expected life is remaining contractual life of the warrants.

Based on the future reversal of existing taxable temporary differences and future earnings expectations, management believes it is more likely than not that the full amount of the net operating loss carry forwards will not be realized or settled, and accordingly, a valuation allowance has been recorded.  The Company’s net operating loss carry forwards approximate $11,200,000 and will expire in various years commencing in 2023.

In May 2006, the State of Texas enacted legislation for a Texas margin tax which restructured the state business tax by replacing the taxable capital and earned surplus components of the franchise tax with a new “taxable margin” component.  The Company’s margin tax expense is derived by multiplying its taxable margin by 1%.  The taxable margin can be derived, at the Company’s discretion, in any one of three ways.  The Company can choose gross receipts less its cost of goods sold, gross receipts less its salary and wages, or 70% of its gross receipts. The Company has determined the margin tax is an income tax and the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities should be included in the deferred tax calculation.   No margin tax accrual was necessary at December 31, 2011 or 2010.

The Company files tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and the state of Texas jurisdiction.    The Company is currently subject to a three year statute of limitations by major tax jurisdictions.  The Company follows the provisions of uncertain tax provisions as addressed in FASB ASC 740-10.  The Company recognized no increase in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits.  The Company had no tax positions at December 31, 2011 or December 31, 2010 for which the ultimate deductibility is highly certain but for which there is uncertainty about the timing of such deductibility.  At December 31, 2011, the Company’s tax returns relating to fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 through December 31, 2010 remain open to possible examination by the tax authorities.  The Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses.  No such interest or penalties were recognized during the periods presented.  The Company had no accruals for interest and penalties at December 31, 2011 and 2010.

14.      SEGMENT INFORMATION

The following information is presented in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting.  The Company is engaged in oil and gas exploration and production, saltwater disposal and pipeline transportation.  PERC is engaged in the exploration and production of crude oil and natural gas.  Pegasi Operating, Inc.

16.  DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, 59 Disposal Inc., operated a saltwater disposal facility which disposed of saltwater and flow-back waste into subsurface storage.  The disposal activities had diminished over the past twelve months and in January 2011, the Company offered for sale certain assets of the subsidiary. A letter of intent signed on March 1, 2011 was closed effective July 1, 2011 at a gross sale price of $1.3 million of which the Company’s portion is $1.04 million.

At July 1, 2011, assets of 59 Disposal included in the sale had a net book value of $300,347 and were previously included in the consolidated balance sheets as assets held for sale.  The Company’s portion of the sales price was their 80% interest which amounted to $1.04 million.  Current assets and liabilities of 59 Disposal at the date of sale, including accounts receivable of $75,648, accounts payable of $68,816, related party payables of $123,290, interest payable of $2,015 and notes payable, related party, of $23,244 were retained by the Company under the sale provisions.

17.   RISK CONCENTRATIONS

We maintain our deposits in one financial institution, which at times may exceed amounts covered by insurance provided by the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.   The Company also maintains a sweep investment account which covers all of our bank accounts in order to reduce fees and earn maximum interest.  The balance in the sweep investment account is invested daily in federal obligations that are not covered by FDIC insurance.  The balance available for investment in the sweep account was approximately $6.8 million at December 31, 2011 and $1.5 million at December 31, 2010.  The Company has not experienced any losses with respect to uninsured balances.

Two customers accounted for approximately 60% and 32%, respectively, of the Company’s total sales for the year ended December 31, 2011.  Two customers accounted for approximately 37% and 42% of the Company’s total sales for the year ended December 31, 2010.  Revenues were reported from these customers in the oil and gas, condensate and skim oil, and transportation and gathering segments.

Lease operating payments primarily made to a principal operator on its oil and gas producing properties approximated $424,000 and $294,000 in 2011 and 2010, respectively.

18. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Other

Occasionally, the Company is involved in various lawsuits and certain governmental proceedings arising in the normal course of business.  In the opinion of management, the outcome of such matters will not have a materially adverse effect on the consolidated results of operations or financial position of the Company.  None of the Company’s directors, officers, or affiliates, owners of record or beneficially of more than five percent of any class of the Company’s voting securities, or security holder is involved in a proceeding adverse to the Company’s business or has a material interest adverse to the business.

Environmental

To date, the Company’s expenditures to comply with environmental or safety regulations have not been significant and are not expected to be significant in the future.  Management monitors these laws and regulations and periodically assesses the propriety of its operational and accounting policies related to environmental issues.  The Company is unable to predict whether its future operations will be materially affected by these laws and regulations.  It is believed that legislation and regulations relating to environmental protection will not materially affect the consolidated results of operations of the Company.

Employment Contracts

The Company has an employment contract with its President and Chief Executive Officer that requires minimum compensation totaling $250,000 annually through May 1, 2012.   The Company’s Executive Vice President has an employment contract through May 1, 2012 that provides for minimum compensation of $225,000 annually.  The Company’s Sr. Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, has an employment contract through May 1, 2012 that provides for minimum compensation of $210,000 annually. However, this agreement terminated with the CFO’s death on January 28, 2012.

Leases

The Company leases certain office space under a non-cancelable operating lease that expired August 31, 2010.  This lease can be renewed for additional periods ranging from one to two years.  On the expiration date of August 31, 2010 the lease was not renewed and the office space is now being leased monthly.  Lease expense was approximately $26,000 and $26,000 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
  

Contingent Liabilities

In preparing financial statements at any point in time, management is periodically faced with uncertainties, the outcomes of which are not within its control and will not be known for prolonged periods of time. The Company is involved in actions from time to time, which if determined adversely, could have a material negative impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Management, with the assistance of counsel makes estimates, if determinable, of the Company’s probable liabilities and records such amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Such estimates may be the minimum amount of a range of probable loss when no single best estimate is determinable. Disclosure is made, when determinable, of any additional possible amount of loss on these claims, or if such estimate cannot be made, that fact is disclosed.
 
Along with the Company's counsel, management monitors developments related to legal matters and, when appropriate, makes adjustments to record liabilities to reflect current facts and circumstances.  Management has recorded a liability related to its registration rights agreement with investors that provides for the filing of a registration statement for the registration of the shares issued in the offering in December 2007, as well as the shares issuable upon exercise of related warrants.  The Company failed to meet the deadline for the effectiveness of the registration statement and therefore was required to pay liquidated damages of approximately $100,000 on the first day of effectiveness failure, or July 18, 2008.  An additional $100,000 penalty was required to be paid by the Company every thirty days thereafter, prorated for periods totaling less than thirty days, until the effectiveness failure was cured, up to a maximum of 18% of the aggregate purchase price, or approximately $1,800,000.  The Company’s registration became effective on August 21, 2008.  At December 31, 2011, management reevaluated the status of the registration statement and determined an accrual of $207,746 was sufficient to cover any potential payments for liquidated damages.  The damages are reflected as liquidated damages payable of $207,746 and $173,802 in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.   The difference of $33,944 was charged against income in the Other Income (Expense) section of the consolidated statement of operations.

Pursuant to the warrant modification agreement discussed in Note 10, the Company modified certain 2007 Warrant Agreements representing 10,546,340 shares to waive all prior registration rights and remove the cashless exercise feature.  The removal of the cashless exercise made the Company liable for a potential registration rights penalty effective sixty days after the agreements were signed.  The removal of the original penalty on the modified warrants and the addition of the penalty incurred due to the modification agreement were recorded in 2011 and did not result in a material change to the registration rights penalty payable at December 31, 2011.

Reserve Quantity Information

The following table presents the Company’s estimate of its proved oil and gas reserves all of which are located in the United States.    The Company emphasizes that reserve estimates are inherently imprecise and that estimates of reserves related to new discoveries are more imprecise than those for producing oil and gas properties.  Accordingly, the estimates are expected to change as future information becomes available.  The estimates have been prepared with the assistance of an independent petroleum reservoir engineering firm.  The petroleum engineer that determined our reserves also planned and supervised the drilling of wells that we drilled in the East Texas project.  His 2011 and 2010 compensation, from the Company, for the planning and supervision of drilling wells was $228,432 and $184,023, respectively.  The petroleum engineer’s compensation for reserve estimation for that same time period was $20,562 and $16,484, respectively.  Oil reserves, which include condensate and natural gas liquids, are stated in barrels and gas reserves are stated in thousands of cubic feet.

Revisions of previous estimates decreased significantly during 2010.  This was primarily due to the re-classification of the Cotton Valley area from proved undeveloped reserves to the probable and possible categories on the reserve report.  As a result of the success of the Norbord well, the Company decided to focus its attention on the Travis Peak area, and not develop the Cotton Valley area within the next five years.

Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flow and Changes Therein Relating to Proved Oil and Gas Reserves

The following table, which presents a standardized measure of discounted future cash flows and changes therein relating to proved oil and gas reserves, is presented pursuant to FASB ASC Topic No. 932.  In computing this data, assumptions other than those required by the FASB could produce different results.  Accordingly, the data should not be construed as being representative of the fair market value of the Company’s proved oil and gas reserves.

Future cash inflows were computed by applying existing contract and 12-month average prices of oil and gas relating to the Company’s proved reserves to the estimated year-end quantities of those reserves.  Future price changes were considered only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements in existence at year end.  Future development and production costs were computed by estimating the expenditures to be incurred in developing and producing the proved oil and gas reserves at the end of the year, based on year-end costs.  Future income tax expenses were computed by applying the year-end statutory tax rate, with consideration of future tax rates already legislated, to the future pre-tax net cash flows relating to the Company’s proved oil and gas reserves.  The standardized measure of discounted future cash flows at December 31, 2011 and 2010, which represents the present value of estimated future cash flows using a discount rate of 10% a year, follows:

ITEM 9.  CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.

None.

ITEM 9A – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

Based on management’s evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as a result of the material weaknesses described below, as of December 31, 2011, our disclosure controls and procedures are not designed at a reasonable assurance level and are ineffective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose 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, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  The material weaknesses, which relate to internal control over financial reporting, that were identified are: 

 
a)  
We did not maintain sufficient personnel with an appropriate level of technical accounting knowledge, experience, and training in the application of GAAP commensurate with our complexity and our financial accounting and reporting requirements. We have limited experience in the areas of financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures.  Also, we do not have an independent audit committee.  As a result, there is a lack of monitoring of the financial reporting process and there is a reasonable possibility that material misstatements of the consolidated financial statements, including disclosures, will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis; and

 
b)  
Due to our small size, we do not have a proper segregation of duties in certain areas of our financial reporting process.  The areas where we have a lack of segregation of duties include cash receipts and disbursements, approval of purchases and approval of accounts payable invoices for payment. This control deficiency, which is pervasive in nature, results in a reasonable possibility that material misstatements of the consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

We are committed to improving our financial organization.  We will look to increase our personnel resources and technical accounting expertise within the accounting function to resolve non-routine or complex accounting matters. In addition, when funds are available, we will take the following action to enhance our internal controls: Hiring additional knowledgeable personnel with technical accounting expertise to further support our current accounting personnel, which management estimates will cost approximately $100,000 per annum.  As our operations are relatively small and we continue to have net cash losses each quarter, we do not anticipate being able to hire additional internal personnel until such time as our operations are profitable on a cash basis or until our operations are large enough to justify the hiring of additional accounting personnel.  We currently engage an outside accounting firm to assist us in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements and anticipate doing so until we have a sufficient number of internal accounting personnel to achieve compliance. As necessary, we will engage consultants in the future in order to ensure proper accounting for our consolidated financial statements.

Management believes that hiring additional knowledgeable personnel with technical accounting expertise will remedy the following material weakness: insufficient personnel with an appropriate level of technical accounting knowledge, experience, and training in the application of GAAP commensurate with our complexity and our financial accounting and reporting requirements.

Management believes that the hiring of additional personnel who have the technical expertise and knowledge with the non-routine or technical issues we have encountered in the past will result in both proper recording of these transactions and a much more knowledgeable finance department as a whole. Due to the fact that our internal accounting staff consists solely of a Chief Financial Officer, additional personnel will also ensure the proper segregation of duties and provide more checks and balances within the department. Additional personnel will also provide the cross training needed to support us if personnel turn over issues within the department occur. We believe this will greatly decrease any control and procedure issues we may encounter in the future.
 
(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting.

We regularly review our system of internal control over financial reporting and make changes to our processes and systems to improve controls and increase efficiency, while ensuring that we maintain an effective internal control environment. Changes may include such activities as implementing new, more efficient systems, consolidating activities, and migrating processes. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

(c) Management’s report on internal control over financial reporting.
 
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2011 for the reasons discussed above.

This annual report does not include an attestation report by Whitley Penn LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.  As a smaller reporting company, our management's report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management's report in this annual report.

None.

Board Committees and Independence
 
We are not required to have any independent members of the Board of Directors. The board of directors has determined that (i) Mr. Neufeld has a relationship which, in the opinion of the board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director and each is not an “independent director” as defined in the Marketplace Rules of The NASDAQ Stock Market and (ii) Messrs. Waldron, Gelfand and Moss are independent directors as defined in the Marketplace Rules of The NASDAQ Stock Market.  As we do not have any board committees, the board as a whole carries out the functions of audit, nominating and compensation committees, and such “independent director” determination has been made pursuant to the committee independence standards.

The employment agreements with each of our executive officers were not tied to specific performance goals or company targets because we were a relatively new operating company at the time each executive officer’s agreement was negotiated. Our negotiation of the employment agreements was highly dependent on our cash flow projections and, in fact, both Michael Neufeld and Bill L. Sudderth are currently not receiving any of their agreed-upon salary.  The full salary is being accrued and will be paid at a later date when our cash flow increases.

Employment Contracts and Termination of Employment and Change-In-Control Arrangements

Each of Michael Neufeld and Bill Sudderth has entered into an employment agreement with us.  Each of these agreements is substantially similar.  They had an initial term of three years, commencing May 1, 2007.  The contracts were automatically renewed for a one-year term and will continue to automatically renew for successive one year terms unless, at least 90 days before the last day of the employment period, a written notice is given stating that the employment period will not be extended.  Mr. Neufeld will be paid an annual salary of $250,000 and Mr. Sudderth will be paid $225,000.  Each person may be entitled to a bonus at the discretion of the Board of Directors.  Each person may be terminated for cause, which under the terms of the agreements is defined as:

The employee having, in our reasonable judgment, committed an act which if prosecuted and resulting in a conviction would constitute a fraud, embezzlement, or any felonious offense (specifically excepting simple misdemeanors not involving acts of dishonesty and all traffic violations);
The employee’s theft, embezzlement, misappropriation of or intentional and malicious infliction of damage to our property or business opportunity;

Each of the agreements contains standard non-disclosure and prohibits the employee from competing with us in our territory for a period of two years following the termination of employment for any reason.  For purposes of the employment agreement, the territory consists of all land at any time held under our leases (or our affiliates) for mineral exploration or development and all surrounding land within two miles from any leased land.

ITEM 13.  CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE.

Except as disclosed below, there have been no transactions, or proposed transactions, which have materially affected or will materially affect us in which any director, executive officer or beneficial holder of more than 5% of the outstanding common stock, or any of their respective relatives, spouses, associates or affiliates, has had or will have any direct or material indirect interest. We have no policy regarding entering into transactions with affiliated parties.

Effective January 1, 2007, PERC, entered into a five-year lease agreement with Marion Swamp Fox L.P. providing for (i) the lease to PERC of 34 acres of storage facilities and (ii) use of office space.  On July 1, 2008 the lease for office space was amended to include additional office space and the lease payments were increased from $750 per month to $4,500 per month for the remaining term.  The 34 acre storage facility has lease payments of $1,500 per month plus $0.05 per barrel of water injected into the facility.  The total lease payments over the entire term of the lease equal $292,500.  Marion Swamp Fox LP is owned by Messrs. Neufeld, Sudderth and Lindermanis, each an executive officer of the Company.

POI, TR Rodessa, and 59 Disposal, had each executed a promissory note dated May 21, 2007, payable to Teton, an entity owned by Messrs. Neufeld and Sudderth, each an executive officer of the Company, in the original principal amount of $5,579,847.  The note evidences the combined total of prior working capital loans Teton made to PERC and its subsidiaries over the previous two years.  The note accrued interest at eight percent (8%) per annum. Additional funds totaling $1,095,000 were added to the note during 2009.  On June 1, 2010 a Promissory (Teton Renewable Note) note was executed to renew and extend the original promissory note dated May 21, 2007.  The renewal note’s principal balance of $6,987,646 is the total of the outstanding principal of $5,952,303 and accrued and unpaid interest of $1,035,343 on the original note.  Accrued interest and principal is due on the notes maturity date of June 1, 2015.  Under the terms of a memorandum of understanding dated May 21, 2007, between the Company and Teton, Teton has the right to convert that original amount into shares of common stock at any time after May 21, 2008 at $1.20 per share.  An amendment to the promissory note was executed on March 3, 2009 that gave Teton the right to convert the additional funds into shares of common stock at $1.60 per share. The largest aggregate amount of principal outstanding during 2011 was $6,987,646 (See Note 7).  Interest expense on the note during 2011 was $559,008.

On October 14, 2009, PERC executed a promissory note payable to Teton that would allow the Company to receive up to $1,000,000.  On March 2, 2010 an amendment to the promissory note was executed that provided additional funds available of $1.5 million.  As of December 31, 2011, PERC had received $1,173,000 related to this note.  The accrued interest and outstanding principal are due on the maturity date of June 1, 2015.  Interest expense on this note during 2011 was $73,308.

In addition, at December 31, 2011 and 2010, we owed TR Energy an amount of $101,506 and $65,770, respectively, in connection with our purchase of a 20% undivided interest in their pipelines and disposal well.  TR Energy is owned by Messrs. Neufeld and Sudderth. 
 
In July 2010, PERC entered into a participation agreement with Energi Drilling 2010A LP (“ED LP”) to raise funds for the drilling of various wells.  David Moss, a director of Pegasi, is a managing member and majority owner of Energi Management LLC (“EM”) and EM is the general partner of Energi Drilling 2010A LP.  ED LP is a hedge fund that was established for the sole purpose of investing in oil and gas properties with PERC.  Through the participation agreement ED LP agreed to pay up to $2.3 million for a 15% interest in the Norbord #1 well and up to a 40% working interest in both the Swamp Fox#1 and Swamp Fox #2 wells.  ED LP fee was to cover their share of the drilling and completion costs plus a promote. The total promote included in the agreement is $780,000.  PERC will bear the cost of any variance in the actual costs from budget.  ED LP will be liable for its share of production costs in proportion to its working interest in each well.  PERC received $1.3 million form ED LP during 2010 for the drilling of the Norbord #1 and Swamp Fox #1 wells.

In November 2011, PERC amended the participation agreement with ED LP to include the Haggard B well.  PERC received $290,340 for a 15% working interest through completion on this well.
 
ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING FEES AND SERVICES.

Audit Fees

The aggregate fees billed by our auditors, for professional services rendered for the audit of our annual consolidated financial statements during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, and for the reviews of the consolidated financial statements included in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q during the fiscal years, were approximately $106,000 and $82,000, respectively.

Audit-Related Fees

Our independent registered public accounting firm did not bill us during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 for audit related services.

Tax Fees

Our independent registered public accounting firm did not bill us during fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 for tax related services.

All Other Fees

Our independent registered public accounting firm did not bill us during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 for other services.  During the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, there were no amounts billed for other services.

The Board of Directors has considered whether the provision of non-audit services is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant's independence.
