PART I

ITEM 1.

BUSINESS

As used herein the terms “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our,” refer to Providence Resources, Inc., a

Texas corporation, and its subsidiaries. All references herein to “PRE” refer to  PRE Exploration, LLC,

the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, and its subsidiaries.

Corporate History

The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Texas on February 17, 1993, as “GFB

Alliance Services, Inc.” We have since undergone several name changes and on May 13, 1999 adopted the

name “Healthbridge,  Inc.” During early 2002 we acquired exclusive ownership and intellectual property

rights for a medical waste disposal technology.  Prior to year end 2005 we decided to discontinue all

operations related to these rights due to our inability to commercialize the technology.

Management’s focus then turned to opportunities existing in the oil and gas sector. The search ultimately

caused the Company to acquire PRE Exploration LLC on September 29, 2006 in connection with

prospective oil and gas production from lease hold interests in Comanche, Hamilton and Val Verde

Counties, Texas. On completing the acquisition of PRE the Company changed its name to  “Providence

Resources,  Inc.”

The Company has since abandoned exploration and development efforts in Comanche and Hamilton

Counties. Developmental resources are  now solely devoted to the completion of wells drilled on its Val

Verde County leases.

The Company’s principal place of business is located at 700 Lavaca Street, Austin, Texas 78701, and our

telephone number is (512) 452-3327. Our registered statutory office is located at 408 West 17th Street,

Suite 101, Austin, Texas 78701.

The Company

Oil and Gas Exploration in Val Verde County

Leases

On March 30, 2006, PRE  acquired approximately 12,832 gross acres of oil and gas leases over 57 square

miles in Val Verde County, Texas from Global Mineral Solutions, L.P. (“Global”). The leases included

underlying multiple oil and gas target zones delineated by 3D seismic data and drilling in the area, along a

trend that has produced from multiple large gas fields, including the Gomez field, the Brown Bassett field,

and the JM field. Effective December 12, 2008, the lease terms on 9,989.2 of the acres under lease were

extended pursuant to an agreement with I.W.  Carson LLC (“Carson”), the owner of the acreage. On

December 22, 2008, PRE acquired from Global an additional 3,352.1 acres of oil and gas leases underlying

acreage owned by Carson for an aggregate of 13,341.3 acres in Val Verde County.  On February 28, 2010,

PRE entered into an Extension and Amendment Re Oil and Gas Leases with Carson to extend the primary

term of the leases until February 28, 2013. The extension obligates PRE to drill two additional wells on the

leases. PRE can secure the leases past February 28, 2013 with continuous development of the acreage. We

may seek an extension of the lease term as necessary to meet our commitments.

The Company allowed leases on approximately 2,843 acres of that acreage acquired in 2006 to lapse.

Investment in that acreage was fully impaired in the year ended  December 31, 2009.

Seismic Exploration

On March 27, 2007, PRE engaged TRNCO Petroleum Corporation to implement an I/O two recording

system using the latest in state-of-the-art acquisition and processing parameters to generate high quality 3D

seismic data from the Val Verde County leases. Dawson Geophysical Company was concurrently engaged

to obtain the actual 3D seismic data while Fairfield Industries Incorporated was subsequently engaged to

interpret the data in concert with consulting geologists familiar with the geophysical applications of seismic

data. The 3D seismic data collected and interpreted illuminated deep gas targets at depths ranging from

14,000 to 16,000 feet in the Ellenberger carbonate, in addition to targets within the Strawn carbonate and

Pennsylvanian-Wolfcamp sandstone reservoirs at lesser depths. PRE identified 25 prospective drilling

locations on the Val Verde leases based on this information.

Drilling

On August 8, 2008, PRE entered into a Prospect Participation and Joint Operating Agreement with Elm

Ridge Exploration Company, LLC (“Elm Ridge”) pursuant to which Elm Ridge acquired a 50% working

interest in the Val Verde leases in exchange for $7,212,800 and a $2,000,000 carried interest in the drilling

of two exploratory wells. R.K Ford & Associates,  Inc. (“R.K. Ford”) was then engaged to drill two

exploratory wells to the Ellenberger formation to test the structure  at a depth of approximately 16,000 feet.

R.K. Ford finished drilling the  Carson 10-1 in early March of 2009  and the Carson  12-1 in late April  of

2009. Despite promising results the wells were not completed and the Carson 12-1 was plugged and

abandoned.

PRE and Elm Ridge executed an Assignment,  Bill of Sale and Conveyance, effective March 1, 2010, that

assigned all of Elm Ridge’s right, title and interest in the Val Verde County leases back to PRE, including

the wells, rights, and intellectual property, subject to existing royalties, and agreements with Global.

Reentry/Completion

PRE intends to complete the Carson 10-1 and Carson 12-1 wells by reentering the well bore to test the

Strawn formation and, based on completion results, develop the Ellenberger formation. The development

program is contingent on the availability of financing and consideration of the economics of the program

based on future projections for natural gas prices.  Should PRE determine not to proceed with its

development program in 2012 due to one or both of the noted contingencies, it intends to enter into

negotiations with the lease owners for the purpose of extending the leases beyond the February 2013

expiration date.

The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary PRT Holdings, LLC, has posted a bond with the Texas Railroad

Commission and is now mandated as the operator of the current leases in anticipation of completion efforts

associated with the existing well bores.

The Company fully impaired the capitalized costs associated with the Val Verde County oil and gas

properties in the year ended December 31, 2011.

Competition

The oil and gas business in Texas is highly competitive. Companies with greater financial resources,

existing staff and labor forces, equipment for exploration, and experience are in a better position than us to

compete for leases and production. In addition, our ability to market any oil and gas which we might

produce could be severely limited by our inability to compete with larger companies operating in the same

area, which may be willing or able to offer oil and gas at a lower price.

4




The Company competes in Texas with over 1,000 independent companies and approximately 40 significant

independent operators including Marathon Oil, Houston Exploration Company and Newfield Exploration

Company in addition to over 950 smaller operations with no single producer dominating the area. Major

operators such as Exxon, Shell Oil, ConocoPhillips, Mobil and others that are considered major players in

the oil and gas industry retain significant interests in Texas.

We believe that the Company can successfully compete against other independent companies by utilizing

the expertise of consultants familiar with the structures to be developed within our Val Verde leases,

maintaining low corporate overhead and otherwise efficiently developing current lease interests.

Marketability

The Company does not produce oil or gas products for market at this time and will have to consider the

economics of constructing a natural gas pipeline to transport energy produced from its leases in Val Verde

County in the event commercial quantities of natural gas are determined to exist.

The products that the Company intends to market - oil and natural gas products - are commodities

purchased by many distribution and retail companies. Crude oil can be sold whenever it is produced subject

to transportation cost. Natural gas requires transportation from point of production to the purchaser by

pipeline.

Patents, Trademarks, Licenses, Franchises, Concessions, Royalty Agreements and Labor Contracts

We currently have no patents, trademarks, licenses, franchises, concessions, or labor contracts, except the

leases we have acquired for oil, gas and mineral interests do provide for the payment of royalties in the

event production is realized.

Governmental and Environmental Regulation

The Company’s oil and gas exploration activities, including future production and related operations, are

subject to extensive rules and regulations promulgated by federal and state agencies. Failure to comply with

such rules and regulations could result in substantial penalties. The regulatory burden on the oil and gas

industry adds to our cost of doing business and may affect future profitability. Since such rules and

regulations are frequently amended or interpreted differently by regulatory agencies, we are unable to

accurately predict the future cost or impact of complying with such laws.

The Company’s oil and gas exploration activities and the possibility of future production will be affected by

state and federal regulation of gas production, federal regulation of gas sold in interstate and intrastate

commerce, state and federal regulations governing environmental quality and pollution control, state limits

on allowable rates of production by a well or pro-ration unit and the amount of gas available for sale, state

and federal regulations governing the availability of adequate pipeline and other transportation and

processing facilities, and state and federal regulation governing the marketing of competitive fuels. For

example, a productive gas well may be “shut-in” because of an over-supply of gas or lack of an available

gas pipeline in the areas in which we may conduct operations. State and federal regulations generally are

intended to prevent waste of oil and gas, protect rights to produce oil and gas between owners in a common

reservoir, control the amount of oil and gas produced by assigning allowable rates of production and control

contamination of the environment. Pipelines are subject to the jurisdiction of various federal, state and local

agencies.

5




Many state authorities require permits for drilling operations, drilling bonds and reports concerning

operations and impose other requirements relating to the exploration and production of oil and gas. Such

states also have ordinances, statutes or regulations addressing conservation matters, including provisions

for the unitization or pooling of properties, the regulation of spacing, plugging and abandonment of wells,

and limitations establishing maximum rates of production from wells. Texas regulations do provide certain

limitations with respect to our operations.

Environmental Regulation

The recent trend in environmental legislation and regulation has been toward stricter standards, and this

trend will likely continue. The Company does not presently anticipate that we will be required to expend

amounts relating to future oil and gas production operations that are material in relation to our total capital

expenditure program by reason of environmental laws and regulations, but because such laws and

regulations are subject to interpretation by enforcement agencies and are frequently changed by legislative

bodies, we are unable to accurately predict the ultimate cost of such compliance.

The Company is subject to numerous laws and regulations governing the discharge of materials into the

environment or otherwise relating to environmental protection. These laws and regulations may require the

acquisition of a permit before drilling commences, restrict the types, quantities and concentration of various

substances that can be released into the environment in connection with drilling and production activities,

limit or prohibit drilling activities on certain lands lying within wilderness, wetlands, and areas containing

threatened and endangered plant and wildlife species, and impose substantial liabilities for unauthorized

pollution resulting from our operations.

The following environmental laws and regulatory programs appear to be the most significant to our

operations in 2012:

Clean Water and Oil Pollution Regulatory Programs The Federal Clean Water Act (“CWA”) regulates

discharges of pollutants to surface waters. The discharge of crude oil and petroleum products to surface

waters also is precluded by the Oil Pollution Act (“OPA”). Our operations are inherently subject to

accidental spills and releases of crude oil and drilling fluids that may give rise to liability to governmental

entities or private parties under federal, state or local environmental laws, as well as under common law.

Minor spills may occur from time to time during the normal course of our future production operations. We

will maintain spill prevention control and countermeasure plans (“SPCC plans”) for facilities that store

large quantities of crude oil or petroleum products to prevent the accidental discharge of these potential

pollutants to surface waters.

Clean Air Regulatory Programs — The Company’s operations are subject to the Federal Clean Air Act

(“CAA”), and state implementing regulations.  Among other things, the CAA requires all major sources of

hazardous air pollutants, as well as major sources of certain other criteria pollutants, to obtain operating

permits, and in some cases, construction permits. The permits must contain applicable Federal and state

emission limitations and standards as well as satisfy other statutory and regulatory requirements. The 1990

Amendments to the CAA also established new monitoring, reporting, and recordkeeping requirements to

provide a reasonable assurance of compliance with emission limitations and standards. PRE currently

obtains construction and operating permits for our compressor engines; we are not presently aware of any

potential adverse claims in this regard.

6




Waste Disposal Regulatory Programs — The Company’s operations will generate and result in the

transportation and disposal of large quantities of produced water and other wastes classified  by EPA as

“non-hazardous solid wastes”. The EPA is currently considering the adoption of stricter disposal and

clean-up standards for non-hazardous solid wastes under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act

(“RCRA”). In some instances, EPA has already required the clean-up of certain non-hazardous solid waste

reclamation and disposal sites under standards similar to those typically found only for hazardous waste

disposal sites.  It also is possible that wastes that are currently classified as “non-hazardous” by EPA,

including some wastes generated during our drilling and production operations, may in the future be

reclassified as “hazardous wastes”. Since hazardous wastes require more rigorous and costly treatment,

storage, transportation and disposal requirements, such changes in the interpretation and enforcement of the

current waste disposal regulations would result in significant increases in waste disposal expenditures.

The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA”)

CERCLA, also known as the “Superfund” law, imposes liability, without regard to fault or the legality of

the original conduct, on certain classes of persons who are considered to have caused or contributed to the

release or threatened release of a “hazardous substance” into the environment. These persons include the

current or past owner or operator of the disposal site or sites where the release occurred and companies that

transported disposed or arranged for the disposal of the hazardous substances under CERCLA. These

persons may be subject to joint and several liabilities for the costs of cleaning up the hazardous substances

that have been released into the environment and for damages to natural resources.  The Company is not

presently aware of any potential adverse claims in this regard.

Texas Railroad Commission — The State of Texas has promulgated certain legislative rules pertaining to

exploration, development and production of oil and gas that are administered by the Texas Railroad

Commission. The rules govern permitting for new drilling, inspection of wells, fiscal responsibility of

operators, bonding wells, the disposal of solid waste, water discharge, spill prevention, liquid injection,

waste disposal wells, schedules that determine the procedures for plugging and abandonment of wells,

reclamation, annual reports and compliance with state and federal environmental protection laws. The

Company believes that it functions in compliance with these rules.

Climate Change Legislation and Greenhouse Gas Regulation — Many studies over the past couple

decades have indicated that emissions of certain gases contribute to warming of the Earth’s atmosphere. In

response to these studies, many nations have agreed to limit emissions of “greenhouse gases” or “GHGs”

pursuant to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, and the “Kyoto Protocol.”

Although the United States elected not to participate in the Kyoto Protocol, several states have adopted

legislation and regulations to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases. Restrictions on emissions of methane

or carbon dioxide that may be imposed in various nations and states could adversely affect our operations

and demand for our products.

7




The United States Supreme Court has ruled, in Massachusetts, et al. v. EPA, that the EPA abused its

discretion under the Clean Air Act by refusing to regulate carbon dioxide emissions from mobile sources.

As a result of the Supreme Court decision the EPA issued a finding that serves as the foundation under the

Clean Air Act to issue other rules that would result in federal greenhouse gas regulations and emissions

limits under the Clean Air Act, even without Congressional action. As part of this array of new regulations

the EPA also issued a GHG monitoring and reporting rule that requires certain parties, including

participants in the oil and natural gas industry, to monitor and report their GHG emissions, including

methane and carbon dioxide, to the EPA. These regulations may apply to our operations. The EPA has

proposed two other rules that would regulate GHGs, one of which would regulate GHGs from stationary

sources, and may affect sources in the oil and natural gas exploration and production industry and the

pipeline industry. The EPA’s finding, the greenhouse gas reporting rule, and the proposed rules to regulate

the emissions of greenhouse gases would result in federal regulation of carbon dioxide emissions and other

greenhouse gases, and may affect the outcome of other climate change lawsuits pending in United States

federal courts in a manner unfavorable to our industry. Acts of Congress, particularly such as the

“American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009,” also known as the “Waxman-Markey cap-and-trade

legislation,” approved by the United States House of Representatives on June 26, 2009, as well as the

decisions of lower courts,  large numbers of states,  and foreign governments which affect climate change

regulation could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of

operations.

Compliance

We believe that all of our operations are in substantial compliance with current applicable federal, state and

local environmental laws and regulations and that continued compliance with existing requirements will not

have a material adverse effect on our financial position, cash flows or results of operations. There can be no

assurance, however, that current regulatory requirements will not change, currently unforeseen

environmental incidents will not occur or past non-compliance with environmental laws or regulations will

not be discovered.

Employees

The Company currently has one employee and relies on independent contractors to assist it in managing the

development of its oil and gas leases in Val Verde County. We also rely on geophysicists, geologists,

attorneys, and accountants as necessary to assist us in moving our business forward.

Reports to Security Holders

The Company’s annual report contains audited financial statements. We are not required to deliver an

annual report to security holders and will not automatically deliver a copy of the annual report to our

security holders unless a request is made for such delivery. We file all of our required reports and other

information with the  Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”).  The public may read and

copy any materials that are filed by the Company with the Commission at the Commission’s Public

Reference Room at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549. The public may obtain information on the

operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the Commission at 1-800-SEC-0330. The statements

and forms filed by us with the Commission have also been filed electronically and are available for viewing

or copy on the Commission maintained Internet site that contains reports, proxy and information

statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the Commission. The

Internet address for this site can be found at http://www.sec.gov.

ITEM 1A.

RISK FACTORS

The Company’s operations and securities are subject to a number of risks. Below we have identified and

discussed the material risks that we are likely to face. Should any of the following risks occur, they will

adversely affect our operations, business, financial condition and/or operating results as well as the future

trading price and/or the value of our securities.

Risks Related to the Company’s Business

The Company has a history of operating losses and such losses may continue in the future.

Since the Company’s current inception of exploration stage in 2006, our operations have resulted in a

continuation of losses. We will continue to incur operating losses until such time as we begin producing

revenue, which may or may not eventuate. Should the Company fail to produce revenue it will continue to

operate at a loss.

The Company has a limited operating history as an oil and gas exploration company.

The Company acquired PRE Exploration on September 29, 2006, which first began oil and gas exploration

during the fourth quarter of 2005 and has yet to successfully develop commercial production of oil or gas.

As such, our limited, and to date unsuccessful, operating history in the energy sector provides an inadequate

track record from which to base future projections of success.

The Company has a history of uncertainty about continuing as a going concern.

The Company’s audits for the periods ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 expressed substantial doubt as to

its ability to continue as a going concern due to the lack of revenue generating activities and  the

accumulation of significant losses in the current exploration stage of $55,384,348 as of December 31, 2011.

Unless we are able to overcome our dependence on successive financings and generate revenue from

operations, our ability to continue as a going concern is in jeopardy.

The Company cannot represent that it will be successful in continuing operations.

The Company has not generated revenue from operations and may not generate revenue over the next

twelve months. Since the Company may be unable to realize revenue in the near term, it will be forced to

continue to raise capital to remain in operation. We have no commitments for the provision of additional

capital and can offer no assurance that such capital will be available as necessary to sustain operations.

Risks Related to the Oil and Gas Industry

Oil and natural gas drilling and producing operations involve risks which could result in net losses.

Drilling activities are subject to many risks, including the risk that no commercially productive reservoirs

will be discovered. Wells which we drill may not be productive, and, thus, we may not be able to recover all

or any portion of our investment in such wells. Drilling for oil and natural gas may involve unprofitable

efforts, not only from dry wells, but also from wells that are productive but do not produce sufficient net

reserves to return a profit after deducting drilling, operating and other costs. The seismic data and other

technologies which we use do not allow us to know conclusively prior to drilling a well that oil or natural

gas is present or may be produced economically. The cost of drilling, completing and operating a well is

often uncertain, and cost factors can reduce the feasibility of a project to produce a profit. Further, our

drilling operations may be curtailed, delayed or canceled as a result of numerous factors, including:

9




    unexpected drilling conditions;

    title problems;

    pressure or irregularities in formations;

    equipment failures or accidents;

    adverse weather conditions;

    compliance with environmental and other governmental requirements; and

    cost of, or shortages or delays in the availability of, drilling rigs, equipment and services.

Our operations are subject to all the risks normally incident to the operation and development of oil and

natural gas properties and the drilling of oil and natural gas wells, including:

    encountering well blowouts;

    cratering,  explosions and fires;

    pipe failure;

    formations with abnormal pressures resulting in uncontrollable flows of oil and natural gas;

    brine or well fluids; and

    release of contaminants into the environment and other environmental hazards and risks.

The nature of these risks is such that some liabilities including environmental fines and penalties could

exceed our ability to pay for the damages. We could incur significant costs due to these risks that could

contribute to net losses.

The Company is subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations which could create liability for

personal injuries, property damage, and environmental damages.

Exploration and development, exploitation, production and sale of oil and natural gas in the United States is

subject to extensive federal, state and local laws and regulations, including complex tax laws and

environmental laws and regulations. Existing laws or regulations, as currently interpreted or reinterpreted in

the future, or future laws or regulations could  harm the Company’s business, results of operations and

financial condition. We may be required to make large expenditures to comply with environmental and

other governmental regulations. Matters subject to regulation include oil and gas production and saltwater

disposal operations and our processing, handling and disposal of hazardous materials, such as hydrocarbons

and naturally occurring radioactive materials, discharge permits for drilling operations, spacing of wells,

environmental protection, reports concerning operations, and taxation. Under these laws and regulations,

we could be liable for personal injuries, property damage, oil spills, discharge of hazardous materials,

reclamation costs, remediation, clean-up costs and other environmental damages.

10




Climate change legislation or regulations restricting emissions of “greenhouse gases” could result in

increased operating costs and reduced demand for oil and natural gas.

On December 15, 2009, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) officially published its

findings that emissions of carbon dioxide, methane and other “greenhouse gases” present an endangerment

to human health and the environment because emissions of such gases are contributing to warming of the

Earth’s atmosphere and other climatic changes. These findings by the EPA allow the agency to proceed

with the adoption and implementation of regulations that would restrict emissions of greenhouse gases

under existing provisions of the federal Clean Air Act.  In late September 2009, the EPA had proposed two

sets of regulations in anticipation of finalizing its findings that would require a reduction in emissions of

greenhouse gases from motor vehicles and that could also lead to the imposition of greenhouse gas emission

limitations in Clean Air Act permits for certain stationary sources.  In addition, on September 22, 2009, the

EPA issued a final rule requiring the reporting of greenhouse gas emissions from specified large

greenhouse gas emission sources in the United States beginning in 2011 for emissions occurring in 2010.

The adoption and implementation of any regulations over greenhouse gases could require us to incur costs

to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases associated with our operations or could adversely affect demand

for the oil and natural gas that we intend to  produce.

On June 26, 2009, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the “American Clean Energy and Security Act

of 2009,” or “ACESA,” which would establish an economy-wide cap-and-trade program to reduce U.S.

emissions of greenhouse gases including carbon dioxide and methane. ACESA would require a 17%

reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from 2005 levels by 2020 and just over an 80% reduction of such

emissions by 2050. Under this legislation, the EPA would issue a capped and steadily declining number of

tradable emissions allowances to certain major sources of greenhouse gas emissions so that such sources

could continue to emit greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. These allowances would be expected to

escalate significantly in cost over time. The net effect of ACESA will be to impose increasing costs on the

combustion of carbon-based fuels such as oil, refined petroleum products, and natural gas. The U.S. Senate

has begun work on its own legislation for restricting domestic greenhouse gas emissions and  the President

Obama Administration has indicated its support of legislation to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through

an emission allowance system. Although it is not possible at this time to predict when the Senate may act on

climate change legislation or how any bill passed by the Senate would be reconciled with ACESA, any

future federal laws or implementing regulations that may be adopted to address greenhouse gas emissions

could adversely affect demand for the oil and natural gas that we intend to produce.

The results of the Company’s current operations depend on the exploration and operational efforts of

third parties.

Our oil and gas exploration efforts through seismic exploration, processing, interpretation, drilling and

operation have been performed by third parties. We will continue to  be dependent on third parties as we

pursue additional exploration. Despite such third parties being experienced in their respective fields, our

dependence on such to initiate, determine and conduct operations could impede our prospects of success.

11




Since oil and natural gas prices are volatile, any substantial decrease in prices could cause the Company

to continue to operate at a loss even in the event that we are successful in producing oil and gas.

Our future financial condition, results of operations and the carrying value of our oil and natural gas

properties will depend primarily upon the prices we receive for production, if any. Oil and natural gas prices

historically have been volatile and are likely to continue to be volatile in the future. Our cash flow from

operations will be highly dependent on the prices that we expect to receive for oil and natural gas. This price

volatility also affects the amount of cash flow available for capital expenditures and our ability to borrow

money or raise additional capital. The prices for oil and natural gas are subject to a variety of additional

factors that are beyond our control. These factors include:

    the level of consumer demand;

    the domestic supply;

    domestic governmental regulations and taxes;

    the price and availability of alternative fuel sources;

    weather conditions; and

    market uncertainty.

These factors and the volatility of the energy markets generally make it extremely difficult to predict future

oil and natural gas price movements with any certainty. Declines in oil and natural gas prices would not

only reduce future revenue, but could reduce the amount of oil and natural gas that we can produce

economically and, as a result, could cause us to continue to operate at a loss. Should the oil and natural gas

industry experience price declines, we may continue to operate at a loss even if we produce oil or gas.

Risks Related to the Company’s Stock

The Company requires additional capital funding.

The Company requires additional funds, either through equity offerings, debt placements or joint ventures

to develop our operations. Such additional capital will result in dilution to our current shareholders. Our

ability to meet long-term financial commitments will depend on future cash. There can be no assurance that

any future income will generate sufficient funds to enable us to meet our financial commitments.

The market for our stock is limited and our stock price may be volatile.

The market for our common stock has been limited due to low trading volume and the small number of

brokerage firms acting as market makers. Because of the limitations of our market and volatility of the

market price of our stock, investors may face difficulties in selling shares at attractive prices when they

want to. The average daily trading volume for our stock has varied significantly from week to week and

from month to month, and the trading volume often varies widely from day to day.

The Company does not pay cash dividends.

The Company does not pay cash dividends. We have not paid any cash dividends since inception and have

no intention of paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future dividends would be at the

discretion of our board of directors and would  depend on, among other things, future earnings, our

operating and financial condition, our capital requirements, and general business conditions.  Therefore,

shareholders should not expect any type of cash flow from their investment.

12




Our internal controls over financial reporting may not be considered effective, which conclusion  could

result in a loss of investor confidence in our financial reports and in turn have an adverse effect on our

stock price.

Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 we are required to furnish a report by our

management on our internal controls over financial reporting. Such report must contain, among other

matters, an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting as of the end of

the year, including a statement as to  whether or not our internal controls over financial reporting are

effective. This assessment must include disclosure of any material weaknesses in our internal controls over

financial reporting identified by management. Since we are unable to assert that our internal controls are

effective, our investors could lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports,

which in turn could cause our stock price to decline.

The Company’s shareholders may face significant restrictions on their stock.

The Company’s stock differs from many stocks in that it is a “penny stock.” The Commission has adopted

a number of rules to regulate “penny stocks” including, but not limited to, those rules from the Securities

Act as follows:

3a51-1

which defines penny stock as, generally speaking, those securities which are not listed on

either NASDAQ or a national securities exchange and are priced under $5, excluding

securities of issuers that have net tangible assets greater than $2 million if they have been in

operation at least three years, greater than $5 million if in operation less than three years, or

average revenue of at least $6 million for the last three years;

15g-1

which outlines transactions by broker/dealers which are exempt from 15g-2 through 15g-6

as those whose commissions from traders are lower than 5% total commissions;

15g-2

which details that brokers must disclose risks of penny stock on Schedule 15G;

15g-3

which details that broker/dealers must disclose quotes and other information relating to the

penny stock market;

15g-4

which explains that compensation of broker/dealers must be disclosed;

15g-5

which explains that compensation of persons associated in connection with penny stock

sales must be disclosed;

15g-6

which outlines that broker/dealers must send out monthly account statements; and

15g-9

which defines sales practice requirements.

Since the Company’s securities constitute a “penny stock” within the meaning of the rules, the rules would

apply to us and our securities. Because these rules provide regulatory burdens upon broker-dealers, they

may affect the ability of shareholders to sell their securities in any market that may develop; the rules

themselves may limit the market for penny stocks.  Additionally, the market among dealers may not be

active. Investors in penny stock often are unable to sell stock back to the dealer that sold them the stock. The

mark-ups or commissions charged by the broker-dealers may be greater than any profit a seller may make.

Because of large dealer spreads, investors may be unable to sell the stock immediately back to the dealer at

the same price the dealer sold the stock to the investor.  In some cases, the stock may fall quickly in value.

Investors may be unable to reap any profit from any sale of the stock, if they can sell it at all.

13




Shareholders should be aware that, according to Commission Release No. 34-29093 dated April 17, 1991,

the market for penny stocks has suffered from patterns of fraud and abuse. These patterns include:

    control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the

promoter or issuer;

    manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and

misleading press releases;

    “boiler room” practices involving high pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by

inexperienced sales persons;

    excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and

    the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have

been manipulated to a desired level, along with the inevitable collapse of those prices with

consequent investor losses.

On February 28, 2010, PRE entered into an Extension and Amendment Re Oil and Gas Leases with Carson

to extend the primary term of the leases until February 28, 2013. The extension obligates PRE to drill two

additional wells on the leases. PRE can secure the leases past  February 28, 2013 with continuous

development of the acreage.

Drilling Activity

During 2009 PRE engaged R.K. Ford to drill two exploratory wells to the Ellenberger formation underlying

our Val Verde County leases, one of which was plugged and abandoned subject to reentry. The Company

analyzed the drill results and made a determination to complete both wells in 2012 as financing becomes

available. We are now the operator for the leases and intend to complete the wells with the aid of

sub-contractors. The Company’s analysis of the exploratory wells has identified prospective secondary

production targets in the Strawn and Pennsylvanian Wolfcamp/Canyon Sands.

PRE is not in the process of installing waterfloods, performing pressure maintenance operations, or

performing any other related operations of material importance.

Delivery Commitments

PRE has no contracts to provide a fixed and determinable quantity of oil or gas.

Undeveloped Acreage

All acreage in which PRE maintains an interest is to be considered undeveloped acreage.  Undeveloped

acreage is considered to be those lease acres on which wells have not been drilled or completed to a point

that would permit the production of commercial quantities of oil and gas regardless of whether or not such

acreage contains proved reserves. Undeveloped acreage should not be confused with undrilled acreage held

by production under the terms of a lease.

Oil and Gas Reserves

The existence of oil and gas reserves for our properties had not been determined as of December 31, 2011.

15




Oil and Gas Titles

As is customary in the oil and gas industry, we perform only a perfunctory title examination at the time of

acquisition of undeveloped properties.  Prior to the commencement of drilling, in most cases, and in any

event where we are the operator, a title examination is conducted and significant defects remedied before

proceeding with operations.  We believe that the title to our properties is generally acceptable to a

reasonably prudent operator in the oil and gas industry.  The properties owned by us are subject to royalty,

overriding royalty, and other interests customary in the industry, liens incidental to operating agreements,

current taxes and other burdens, minor encumbrances, easements, and restrictions.  We do not believe that

any of these burdens materially detract from the value of the properties or will materially interfere with their

use in the operation of our business.

Office Facility

The Company currently maintains limited executive office space at 700 Lavaca Street, Suite 1400, Austin,

Texas 78701 for which it pays rent of $60 a month on a recurring basis.

SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

ITEM  7.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL

CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and other

parts of this current report contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.

Forward-looking statements can also be identified by words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “believes,”

“plans,” “predicts,” and similar terms. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future

performance and our actual results may differ significantly from the results discussed in the

forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such differences include but are not limited to those

discussed in the subsection entitled  Forward-Looking Statements and Factors That May Affect Future

Results and Financial Condition below. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our

financial statements and notes thereto included in this current report. Our fiscal year end is December 31.

Discussion and Analysis

During the year ended December 31, 2011 the Company was involved in (i) assessing the drilling results

associated with the Carson 10-1 and Carson 12-1 wells in Val Verde County, (ii)  seeking out prospective

financing or joint venture partners to fund the completion of the Val Verde County wells, and (iii) satisfying

continuous public disclosure requirements.

The Company intends to complete its Carson 10-1 and Carson 12-1 wells in Val Verde County, Texas, over

the next twelve months subject to the availability of financing and may test the Strawn formation. Efforts to

complete the wells to date and the testing of the Strawn formation have been delayed pending the receipt of

financing commitments. Development of the Val Verde County leases going forward will be dependent on

the Carson completion results. Reentry and completion of the existing well bores will require $4,000,000 in

funding. The Company does not have a commitment for this funding in place though management

continues to seek out prospective investors and partners.

Our business is prone to significant risks and uncertainties that can have an immediate impact on efforts to

generate a positive cash flow. Since we have no assurance that future expectations of natural gas production

will be realized, or that revenue realized from such anticipated production will be sufficient to support our

continued operation,  we will continue to rely on debt or equity financing over the near term  to remain in

business. We have no commitments for additional debt or equity financing at this time though management

is diligently investigating sources for such financing.

Results of Operations

Net Income/Losses

For the period from re-entering the exploration stage on October 1, 2006 or inception until December 31,

2011, the Company incurred net losses of $55,438,202. Net losses for the year ended December 31, 2011,

were $11,952,178 as compared to $2,452,553 for the year ended December 31,  2010. The increase in net

losses over the comparable periods can be attributed primarily to the impairment of assets amounting to

$9,354,030 in the current period associated with capital costs expended on the Val Verde County leases.

We expect to continue to operate at a loss through fiscal 2012 due to the nature of our exploration and

development activities and cannot determine whether we will ever generate revenue from operations.

20




General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2011, were $1,197,894 as compared

to $1,429,127 for the year ended December 31, 2010. The decrease in general and administrative expenses

over the comparable periods can be primarily attributed to lower consulting fees paid to management in the

current period. We expect that general and administrative expenses will  continue to decrease as greater

operating efficiencies are brought to bear.

Other Income (Expense)

Interest income for the year ended December 31, 2011, decreased to $0 from $969 for the year ended

December 31, 2010. Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2011, decreased to $1,400,254 from

$2,319,572 for the year ended  December 31, 2010.

Impairment of capital assets for the year ended December 31, 2011, was $9,354,030 compared to $0 for the

year ended December 31, 2010. The impairment  expenses in the current period were in connection with

amounts expended on the development of the leases in Val Verde County.

Debt extinguishment and conversion income for the year ended December 31, 2011, was $0 as compared to

debt extinguishment and conversion income of $1,295,178 for the year ended  December 31, 2010.

Income Tax Expense (Benefit)

The Company has a prospective income tax benefit resulting from a net operating loss carry-forward and

start-up costs that will offset any future operating profit.

Impact of Inflation

We believe that inflation has had a negligible effect on operations for the years ended  December 31, 2011

and 2010.

Capital Expenditures

The Company has spent significant amounts of capital for the period from inception to December 31, 2011,

on unproved oil and gas properties, pipeline construction, and related exploration costs though some

amount of such prior oil and gas capital expenditures have since been impaired and expensed. Unimpaired

unproved oil and gas property costs as of December 31, 2011 were $0, as compared to $9,312,905 as of

December 31, 2010.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company has been in the exploratory stage since inception and has experienced significant changes in

liquidity, capital resources, and stockholders’ equity.  The Company had a working capital deficit of

$56,106 at December 31, 2011. Current assets were $10,857 in cash. Total assets were $1,035,857

including current assets, $1,000,000 in restricted cash held for the benefit of the owners of the leasehold

interests held by the Company, and $25,000 held for the benefit of the Texas Railroad Commission. Current

liabilities were $66,963, consisting of accounts payable of $58,003 and related party payables of $8,960.

Total liabilities were $15,966,706 including current liabilities, accrued expenses of $1,557,635, related

party payables of $3,072,203, and long term debt of $11,269,905. Total stockholders’ deficit was

$14,930,849 as of December 31, 2011.

21




For the period from inception of its current exploration stage until December 31, 2011, the Company’s cash

flow used in operating activities was $4,618,288. Cash flow used in operating activities for the year ended

December 31, 2011, was $282,085 compared to $1,091,617 for the year ended December 31, 2010. The

change in cash flow used in operating activities during the current period is primarily due to the impairment

associated with the Val Verde County leases, accrued expenses and related party payables. The Company

expects to continue to use cash flow in operating activities until such time as it can generate revenue from

operations.

For the period from inception of its current exploration stage until December 31, 2011, the Company’s cash

flow used in investing activities was $5,598,654. Cash flow provided by investing activities for the year

ended December 31, 2011 was $25,000 compared to cash flow used in investing activities of  $28,757 for

the year ended December 31, 2010. Cash flow provided by investing activities in the current period can be

attributed to that amount placed on deposit with the Texas Railroad Commission. The Company expects to

use cash flow in investing activities in future periods in connection with the further development of its

leases.

For the period from inception of its current exploration stage until December 31, 2011, the Company’s cash

flow provided by financing activities was $6,410,774. Cash flow provided by financing activities for the

year ended December 31, 2011 was $267,200 compared to $57,800 for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Cash flow provided by financing activities in the current period was from the issuance of common stock

and the realization of a stock subscription receivable. The Company expects to continue to rely on cash flow

provided by financing activities until such time as it can generate revenue from operations.

Our current assets are insufficient to conduct exploration and development activities over the next twelve

(12) months or to maintain operations. We need a minimum of $4,000,000 in debt or equity financing to

fund the reentry and  completion of the Carson 10-1 and Carson 12-1 and to meet minimum  operational

requirements. We may also require an additional $4,000,000 to fund the drilling of two additional wells on

the Carson leases in order to maintain the leases. However, we have no commitments or arrangements for

either the first or second tier of these requisite financings, though our shareholders are the most likely

source of loans or equity placements in order for us to maintain operations. Our inability to obtain financing

to complete our development plan for the Carson leases would have a material adverse effect on our

business operations.

We have no intention of paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

We have no lines of credit or other bank financing arrangements in place.

We have material commitments to the owners of the Val Verde County leases for future capital

expenditures related to exploration activities which require us to drill two additional wells  and produce

commercial quantities of natural gas from the leases on or before February 28, 2013. The material

commitment is approximately $8,000,000.

We have no defined benefit plan except our 2008 Stock Option Plan and currently have no contractual

commitment with our sole executive officer.

We have no current plans for the purchase or sale of any plant or equipment.

We have no current plans to make any changes in the number of employees.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or

future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of

operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources that are material to stockholders.

Going Concern

The Company’s auditor expressed substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going

concern as a result of reoccurring losses, lack of revenue generating activities, and an accumulated deficit in

the current exploration stage of $55,384,348 as of December 31, 2011. These conditions raise substantial

doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Management’s plan to address the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern includes the

completion of private equity or debt offerings,  the development of natural gas exploration activities to

commercial production, and the conversion of outstanding debt to equity. The successful outcome of these

activities cannot be determined at this time, and there is no assurance that, if achieved, we would then have

sufficient funds to execute our intended business plan or generate positive operating results.

Forward Looking Statements and Factors That May Affect Future Results and Financial Condition

The statements contained in the section titled “Results of Operations” and “Discussion and Analysis,” with

the exception of historical facts, are forward looking statements. A safe-harbor provision may not be

applicable to the forward looking statements made in this current report. Forward looking statements reflect

our current expectations and beliefs regarding our future results of operations, performance, and

achievements. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties and are based upon assumptions and

beliefs that may or may not materialize.  These statements include, but are not limited to, statements

concerning:

    our anticipated financial performance;

    uncertainties related to oil and gas exploration and development;

    our ability to generate revenues through oil and gas production to fund future operations;

    movement in energy prices;

    our ability to raise additional capital to fund cash requirements for future operations;

    the volatility of the stock market; and

    general economic conditions.

We wish to caution readers that our operating results are subject to various risks and uncertainties that could

cause our actual results to differ materially from those discussed or anticipated, including the factors set

forth in the section entitled “Risk Factors included elsewhere in this report. We also wish to advise readers

not to place any undue reliance on the forward looking statements contained in this report, which reflect our

beliefs and expectations only as of the date of this report. We assume no obligation to update or revise these

forward looking statements to reflect new events or circumstances or any changes in our beliefs or

expectations, other that is required by law.

Stock-Based Compensation

We have adopted Accounting Standards Codification Topic (“ASC”) 718, Share-Based Payment, which

addresses the accounting for stock-based payment transactions in which an enterprise receives employee

services in exchange for (a) equity instruments of the enterprise or (b) liabilities that are based on the fair

value of the enterprise’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity

instruments.

We account for equity instruments issued in exchange for the receipt of goods or services from other than

employees in accordance with ASC 505. Costs are measured at the estimated fair market value of the

consideration received or the estimated fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more

reliably measurable. The value of equity instruments issued for consideration other than employee services

is determined on the earliest of a performance commitment or completion of performance by the provider of

goods or services.

Critical Accounting Policies

In the notes to the audited consolidated financial statements for the Company for the year ended December

31, 2011 and 2010 included in this Form 10-K the Company discussed those accounting policies that are

considered to be significant in determining the results of operations and financial position. The Company’s

management believes that their accounting principles conform to accounting principles generally accepted

in the United States of America.

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make significant estimates and judgments

that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. By their nature,  these

judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates,

including those related to bad debts, inventories, intangible assets,  warranty obligations, product liability,

revenue, and income taxes. We base our estimates on historical experience and other facts and

circumstances that are believed to be reasonable, and the results form the basis for making judgments about

the carrying value of assets and liabilities. The actual results may differ from these estimates under different

assumptions or conditions.

Revenue Recognition

Revenues recorded upon the completion of services, with the existence of an agreement and  where

collectability is reasonably assured. Oil and natural gas production revenue, if any, will be recognized at the

time and point of sale after the product has been extracted from the ground.

Please see Note 17 to our consolidated financial statements for recent accounting pronouncements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

Providence Resources,  Inc.

We   have   audited   the   accompanying   consolidated   balance   sheet   of   Providence   Resources,   Inc.   (an

exploration   stage   company)   as   of   December   31,   2011,   and   the   related   consolidated   statements   of

operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2011 and for the

period from October 1, 2006 (inception of exploration stage) to December 31, 2011. Providence Resources,

Inc.’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion

on these financial statements based on our audit. The financial statements for the period from February 17,

1993 (inception) to December 31, 2010, were audited by other auditors who have ceased operations. Those

auditors expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements in their report dated April 14, 2011.

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  financial  statements  are  free  of  material  misstatement.  The  Company  is  not

required  to  have,  nor were we engaged  to perform,  an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.

Our  audit  included  consideration  of  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  as  a  basis  for designing  audit

procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the

effectiveness of  the  Company’s  internal  control over financial  reporting.  Accordingly  we  express no  such

opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures

in  the  financial  statements,  assessing  the  accounting  principles  used  and  significant  estimates  made  by

management,  as well as evaluating the overall  financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits

provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In  our  opinion,  the  financial  statements  referred  to  above  present  fairly,  in  all  material  respects,  the

consolidated financial position of Providence Resources, Inc. as of December 31, 2011, and the results of its

operations  and  its  cash  flows  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2011  and  for  the  period  October  1,  2006

(inception of exploration stage) to December 31, 2011, in conformity with accounting principles generally

accepted in the United States of America.

The  accompanying  consolidated  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  assuming  the  Company  will

continue  as  a  going  concern.  As  discussed  in  Note  2,  the  Company  has  a  history  of  operating  losses,  has

limited   cash   resources,   and   its   viability   is   dependent   upon   its   ability   to   meet   its   future   financing

requirements,   and   the  success  of   future  operations.   These  factors  raise  substantial  doubt  about  the

Company’s  ability  to  continue  as  a  going  concern.  Management’s  plans  regarding  those  matters  are  also

described  in  Note  2.  The  financial  statements  do  not  include  any  adjustments  that  might  result  from  the

outcome of this uncertainty.

PROVIDENCE RESOURCES INC.

(An Exploration Stage Company)

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2011 and 2010

Note 1 – Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization

The consolidated financial statements consist of Providence Resources, Inc. (Providence Resources) and its

wholly owned subsidiary PRE Exploration, LLC (PRE).  PRE has three subsidiaries: PDX Drilling I, LLC

(PDX)  and  PRT  Holdings,  LLC  (PRT)  are  wholly  owned  and  Comanche  County  Pipeline,  LLC  (CCP)  is

ninety percent owned.  Collectively, these entities are referred to as the Company.

The  Company  was  organized  on  February  17,  1993  under  the  laws  of  the  State  of  Texas  and  began  its

current exploration stage on October 1, 2006. Cumulative amounts recorded in the financial statements are

from  October  1,  2006  to  the  current  year end.  PRE  was  formed  to  acquire  leases  in  Texas  for  oil  and  gas

exploration  and  development.  PDX  was  formed  to  acquire  drilling  and  service  rigs  for  the  purpose  of

drilling oil and gas wells in Texas. CCP was formed for constructing an oil and gas pipeline. PDX and CCP

had no activity during 2011. PRT has been without operations since inception.

PRE is involved in exploration activities for the recovery of oil or natural gas products from the Ellenburger

carbonate, Strawn carbonate, and Pennsylvanian-Wolfcamp sandstone reservoirs underlying approximately

13,341 gross acres of oil and gas leases in Val Verde County, Texas.

The Company is an exploration stage company as defined by applicable accounting standards.

Principles of Consolidation

The  consolidated  financial  statements  include  the  accounts  of  Providence  Resources  and  its  subsidiaries.

All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The  preparation  of  financial  statements  in  conformity  with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles

requires  management  to  make  estimates  and  assumptions  that  affect  the  reported  amounts  of  assets  and

liabilities  and  disclosure  of  contingent  assets  and  liabilities  at  the  date  of  the  financial  statements  and  the

reported  amounts  of  revenues  and  expenses  during  the  reporting  period.  Actual  results  could  differ  from

those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with an

original or current maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2011 and 2010

Note 1 – Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Unproved Oil and Gas Properties, Not Subject to Amortization

The  Company  follows  the  full  cost  method  of  accounting  for  exploration  and  development  of  oil  and  gas

properties whereby all costs in acquiring, exploring and developing properties are capitalized, including an

estimate  of  abandonment  costs,  net  of  estimated  equipment  salvage  costs,  and  subjected  to  a  quarterly

impairment  test,  based  on  the  estimated  net  realizable  value  of  the  property.  Management  records  the

impairment of its unproved oil and gas properties at the time impairment appears to exist.

No costs related to production, general corporate overhead, or similar activities have been capitalized. As of

December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company only has capitalized costs of unproved properties acquired and

related  exploration  costs.  Leasehold  costs  are  depleted  based  on  the  units-of-production  method  based  on

estimated proved reserves. No proven reserves currently exist for the Company and therefore no depletion

has been taken as of  December 31, 2011 and 2010.

Convertible Debts

In  accordance  with  ASC  470-20,  the  Company  calculated  the  value  of  any  beneficial  conversion  features

embedded  in  its  convertible  debts.  If  the  debt  is  contingently  convertible,  the  intrinsic  value  of  the

beneficial conversion feature is not recorded until the debt becomes convertible.

Convertible  debts  are  split  into  two  components:  a  debt  component  and  a  component  representing  the

embedded derivatives in the debt. The debt component represents the Company’s liability for future interest

coupon payments and the redemption amount.  The embedded derivatives represent the value of the option

that debt holders have to convert into ordinary shares of the Company.  If the number of shares that may be

required  to  be  issued  upon  conversion  of  the  convertible  debt  is  indeterminate,  the  embedded  conversion

option  of  the  convertible  debt  is  accounted  for  as  a  derivative  instrument  liability  rather  than  equity  in

accordance with ASC 815-40.

The  debt  component  of  the  convertible  debt  is  measured  at  amortized  cost  and  therefore  increases  as  the

present  value  of  the  interest  coupon  payments  and  redemption  amount  increases,  with  a  corresponding

charge  to  finance  cost    other  than  interest.  The  debt  component  decreases  by  the  cash  interest  coupon

payments  made.  The  embedded  derivatives  are  measured  at  fair  value  at  each  balance  sheet  date,  and  the

change in the fair value is recognized in the income statement.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2011 and 2010

Note 1 – Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Income Taxes

Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences resulting from income and expense items reported

for  financial  accounting  and  tax  purposes  in  different  periods.  Deferred  taxes  are  classified  as  current  or

noncurrent, depending on the classification of the assets and liabilities to which they relate.  Deferred taxes

arising  from  temporary  differences  that  are  not  related  to  an  asset  or  liability  are  classified  as  current  or

noncurrent depending on the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse.

If  the  Company  has  uncertain  tax  positions,  they  are  evaluated  by  management  and  a  loss  contingency  is

recognized  when  it  is  probable  that  a  liability  has  been  incurred  and  the  amount  of  the  loss  can  be

reasonably estimated.  The amount recognized  is subject to  estimation and  management judgment,  and  the

amount  ultimately  sustained  for  an  uncertain  tax  position  could  differ  from  the  amount  recognized.  As  of

December  31,  2011,  management  did  not  identify  any  uncertain  tax  positions.  The  tax  years  previous  to

2008 are closed to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The  Company  maintains  its  cash  in  bank  deposit  accounts,  which,  at  times,  may  exceed  federally  insured

limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any

significant credit risk on cash and  cash equivalents.  All bank deposits of the company are fully insured  by

its banks.

Revenue Recognition

Revenues are recorded upon the completion of the services,  with the existence of an agreement and  where

collectability  is  reasonably  assured.  Oil and  natural  gas production  revenue  will be  recognized  at  the time

and point of sale after the product has been extracted from the ground.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718 which requires companies to

measure  compensation  cost  for  stock-based  employee  compensation  at  fair  value  at  the  grant  date  and

recognize  the  expense  over  the  employee’s  requisite  service  period.  Under  ASC  718,  the  Company’s

volatility  is  based  on  the  historical  volatility  of  the  Company’s  stock  or  the  expected  volatility  of  similar

companies.  The  expected  life  assumption  is  primarily  based  on  historical  exercise  patterns  and  employee

post-vesting termination behavior. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the option is based on

the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model which was developed for use in estimating the

fair  value  of  options.  Option-pricing  models  require  the  input  of  highly  complex  and  subjective  variables

including  the  expected  life  of  options  granted  and  the  Company’s  expected  stock  price  volatility  over  a

period  equal to  or greater than the expected  life of  the options.  Changes in the subjective assumptions can

materially affect the estimated value of the Company’s employee stock options.

The Company recognizes in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of stock options and other

equity-based compensation issued to employees and non-employees.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2011 and 2010

Note 1 – Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Earnings Per Share

The  computation  of  basic  earnings  per  common  share  is  based  on  the  weighted  average  number  of  shares

outstanding during each year.

The computation of diluted earnings per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares

outstanding  during  the  period  plus  the  common  stock  equivalents  which  would  arise  from  the  exercise  of

stock options outstanding using the treasury stock method and the average market price per share during the

period. Common stock equivalents are not included in the diluted earnings per share calculation when their

effect  is  anti-dilutive.  In  2011  and  2010,  the  Company’s  common  stock  equivalents  were  anti-dilutive.

Common  stock  equivalents  that  could  potentially  dilute  earnings  per  share  in  the  future  are  the  common

stock options and  warrants and  convertible debts representing approximately 103,000,000 and  92,500,000

shares as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts for 2010 and cumulative amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2011

presentation, with no resulting effect to net loss, accumulated deficit, or earnings per share amounts.

Note 2 – Going Concern

As of December 31, 2011, the Company’s anticipated revenue generating activities have not begun and the

Company  has  negative  cash  flows  from  operations,  has  incurred  significant  losses  since  inception,  has

negative   working   capital,   and   has   an   accumulated   deficit   in   the   current   exploration   stage   of   over

$55,000,000.  These  factors  raise  substantial  doubt  about  the  Company’s  ability  to  continue  as  a  going

concern.   The   accompanying   financial   statements   do   not   include   any   adjustments   relating   to   the

recoverability and classification of assets that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a

going concern.

The  Company  will  require  additional  funding  over  the  next  twelve  months  in  the  form  of  debt  or  equity

financing.  However,  the  Company  has  no  financing  in  place  and  has  no  assurance  that  it  will  be  able  to

generate funding sufficient to fund business operations. Unless the Company is able to generate funding in

the near term, its ability to continue as a going concern will be in doubt.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2011 and 2010

Note 3 – Restricted Cash

During 2010, PRE extended its Carson acreage leases until February 28, 2013. The extension obligates PRE

to drill two additional wells on the Carson acreage. PRE can secure the leases past February 28, 2013 with

continuous development of the acreage.  Per the leases’ terms, PRE has deposited $1,000,000 with a bank,

and  these funds must be held  in escrow until the Company drills the two  additional wells.  If  the Company

fails to drill the two additional wells and the leases expire, the Company must pay $100 per acre to Carson.

Correspondingly, the bank has issued a $1,000,000 letter of credit to Carson.

During 2010, the Company arranged a $25,000 letter of credit with the same bank by collateralizing the first

$25,000  in  PRI’s  checking  account  for  the  benefit  of  PRT  to  be qualified  as  an  oil  and  gas  wells  operator

with  the  Texas  Railroad  Commission.  During  2011,  these  funds  were  transferred  to  an  escrow  account

administered by the Texas Railroad Commission (see Note 4).

As of  December 31, 2011 no funds had been drawn against these letters of credit.

Note 4 – Deposit

The deposit consists of $25,000 held in escrow by the Texas Railroad Commission for the benefit of PRT as

the  operator  of  PRE’s  wells,  and  as  a  provision  for  any  material  loss  that  is  probable  from  environmental

remediation liabilities associated with the Company’s well sites. The Company believes that this amount is

a reasonable estimate of potential liabilities based on available information.

Note 5 – Impairment of Capital Assets

During 2011,  the Company recorded  an impairment charge of $9,354,030  which was the capitalized  costs

of all unproved oil and gas properties. Management has determined that they may be unable to perform the

required  exploration  in  accordance  with  the  terms  of  existing  leases  (see  Note  3).  Management  will

continue its efforts to develop the leases, but has no current plans for funding and drilling.

at  December  31,  2011  does  not  differ  materially  from  the  aggregate  carrying  value  of  its  financial

instruments recorded in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Note 16 – Subsequent Events

The  Company  has  evaluated  subsequent  events  from  the  balance  sheet  date  through  the  date  the  financial

recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2011 and 2010

Note 17 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In  December  2011,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  (FASB)  issued  Accounting  Standards

Update  (ASU)  No.  2011-11,  “Disclosures  about  Offsetting  Assets  and  Liabilities”,  which  will  require

disclosures for entities with financial instruments and derivatives that are either offset on the balance sheet

in accordance with ASC 210-20-45 or ASC 815-10-45, or are subject to a master netting arrangement. ASU

No.  2011-11  is  effective  for  interim  and  annual  periods  beginning  on  or  after  January  1,  2013.  The

Company  is  currently  evaluating  the  impact  of  the  adoption  of  ASU  2011-04  on  its  financial  position,

results of operations, and disclosures.

In  September  2011,  the  FASB   issued   Accounting   Standards  Update  (ASU)  No.   2011-08,  “Testing

Goodwill  for  Impairment”.  This  ASU  permits  an  entity  to  make  a  qualitative  assessment  of  whether  it  is

more  likely  than  not  that  a  reporting  unit’s  fair  value  is  less  than  its  carrying  amount  before  applying  the

two-step goodwill impairment test. If an entity concludes it is not more likely than not that the fair value of

a reporting  unit is  less than its carrying amount,  then  there  is no  need  to  perform  the two-step  impairment

test.  This  ASU  is  effective  for  annual  and  interim  goodwill  impairment  tests  performed  for  fiscal  years

beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this ASU will not have a

material  impact  on  the  Company’s  consolidated  financial  statements,  as  it  is  intended  to  simplify  the

assessment for goodwill impairment.

In June 2011, the FASB  issued  ASU  No. 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income” (as amended

by ASU 2011-12). ASU 2011-05 requires entities to report components of comprehensive income in either

a  continuous  statement  of  comprehensive  income  or  two  separate  but  consecutive  statements.   Under  the

continuous  statement  approach,  the  statement  would  include  the  components  and  total  of  net  income,  the

components  and  total  of  other  comprehensive  income  and  the  total  of  comprehensive  income.   Under  the

two statement approach, the first statement would include the components and total of net income and the

second  statement  would  include the  components and  total of  other comprehensive  income and  the  total of

comprehensive  income.    ASU  2011-05/12  does  not  change  the  items  that  must  be  reported  in  other

comprehensive  income.    ASU  2011-05/12  is  effective  retrospectively  for  interim  and  annual  periods

beginning  after December 15,  2011,  with early adoption permitted.   The Company is currently evaluating

the impact of the adoption of ASU 2011-05/12 on its financial statements.

In  May  2011,  the  FASB  issued  ASU  No.  2011-04,  “Amendments  to  Achieve  Common  Fair  Value

Measurement  and  Disclosure  Requirement  in  U.S.  GAAP  and  IFRSs”.  ASU  2011-04  does  not  extend  the

use  of  fair  value  but,  rather,  provides  guidance  about  how fair  value  should  be  applied  where  it  already  is

required and permitted under IFRS or U.S. GAAP.  For U.S. GAAP, most of the changes are clarifications

of existing guidance or wording changes to align with IFRS 13.   ASU 2011-04 is effective on a prospective

basis for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption not permitted.

In  the  period  of  adoption,  a  reporting  entity  will  be  required  to  disclose  a  change,  if  any,  in  valuation

technique  and  related  inputs  that  result  from  applying  ASU  2011-04  and  to  quantify  the  total  effect,  if

practicable.  The  Company  is  currently  evaluating  the  impact  of  the  adoption  of  ASU  2011-04  on  its

financial position, results of operations, and disclosures.

Other pronouncements issued  by the FASB  or other authoritative accounting standards groups with future

effective  dates  are  either  not  applicable  or  are  not  expected  to  be  significant  to  the  financial  statements  of

the Company.

ITEM 9A.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

In connection with the preparation of this annual report, an evaluation was carried out by the Company’s

management, with the participation of the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer, of the

effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and

15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered

by this report. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be

disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and

reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information

is accumulated and communicated to management, including the chief executive officer and the chief

financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Based on that evaluation, the Company’s management concluded, as of the end of the period covered by

this report, that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in recording,

processing, summarizing, and reporting information required to be disclosed, within the time periods

specified in the Commission’s rules and forms, and such information was not accumulated and

communicated to management, including the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer, to allow

timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control

over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process, under the

supervision of the chief executive officer and  chief financial officer, designed to provide reasonable

assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company’s financial

statements for external purposes in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles

(GAAP).   Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

    Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the

transactions and dispositions of the Company’s assets;

    Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of

the financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that

receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management

and the board of directors; and

    Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition,

use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial

statements.

Due to its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect

misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk

that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance

with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

25




The Company’s management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over

financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated

Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, which

assessment identified material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness

is a control deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting that

creates a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement in annual or interim financial statements will

not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.  Since the assessment of the effectiveness of our internal

control over financial reporting did identify material weaknesses, management considers its internal control

over financial reporting to be ineffective.

The matters involving internal control over financial reporting that our management considered to be

material weaknesses were:

    lack of an audit committee due to a lack of a majority of outside directors, resulting in ineffective

oversight in the monitoring of required internal controls over financial reporting;

    inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives since the responsibilities

associated with the offices of chief executive officer, chief financial officer and principal

accounting officer are assumed by one individual.

The aforementioned material weaknesses were identified by our chief executive officer in connection with

the review of our financial statements as of December 31, 2011.

Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth above did not have an effect on our financial

results. However, management believes that the lack of an audit committee, the inadequate segregation of

duties and the lack of a majority of outside directors  results in ineffective oversight in the monitoring of

required internal controls over financial reporting, which weaknesses could result in a material

misstatement in our financial statements in future periods.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting

firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.  We were not required to have, nor have we,

engaged our independent registered public accounting firm to perform an audit of internal control over

financial reporting pursuant to the rules of the Commission that permit us to provide only management’s

report in this annual report.

Management’s Remediation Initiatives

In an effort to remediate the identified material weaknesses and enhance our internal controls over financial

reporting, the Company plans to initiate, the following measures:

    segregate the duties of chief executive officer and chief financial officer/principal accounting

officer consistent with our control objectives; and

    appoint outside directors to our board in order to form an audit committee that will undertake

oversight in monitoring of required internal controls over financial reporting such as reviewing

estimates and assumptions made by management.

26




Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

During the period ended December 31, 2011, there has been no change in internal control over financial

reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over

financial reporting.

Compliance with Section 16(A) of the Exchange Act

Based solely upon a review of Forms 3, 4 and 5 furnished to the Company, we are unaware persons who,

ITEM 11.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

The Company remains in the development stage and has not entered into a compensation agreement with it

current sole executive officer due to financial constraints. Our former sole executive officer did participate

in a compensation program designed to incentivize officers for services rendered in the form of a salary,

stock options awards, and at the sole discretion of the Company, an annual bonus. We believe that these

compensatory elements are adequate to retain and motivate executive officers. The amounts we deemed

appropriate to compensate our former chief executive officer were determined in accordance with

compensatory packages similar to other development stage exploration companies though it was based on

no specific formula. While we have no compensation agreement with our current sole executive officer his

ownership of our common shares and debt obligations compels him to safeguard the Company’s best

interests and is adequate for accomplishing our current objectives. We do intend to return to a formal

compensation arrangement with our executive officer or officers in the future, which may expand those

benefits previously granted, at such time as the Company’s operations can sustain a compensation package

in the best interests of its shareholders. 

 

Executive compensation paid or accrued to our current sole executive officer for the year ended December

31, 2011 was $0. Executive compensation paid or accrued to our former chief executive officer for the year

ended December 31, 2011 was $741,355 as compared to $375,327 for the year ended  December 31, 2010.

The increase in executive compensation over the comparative periods is in connection with the resignation

of our former sole executive officer in 2011, which caused accrued compensation to be extinguished in

exchange for stock option compensation. The decision not to enter into a compensation agreement with our

current sole executive officer can be attributed to fiscal constraints due to the non-productive nature of

drilling activities to date. We expect to that future executive compensation for our current chief executive

officer will fluctuate from that paid this year ended based on the prospect of additional stock options and the

results of operations moving forward.

Compensation paid to our vice-president of corporate affairs for the year ended December 31, 2010 was

$96,240 as compared to $120,480 for the year ended December 31, 2010. The decrease in compensation

over the comparative periods is attributed to a decrease in salary due to fiscal constraints. We expect future

compensation for our vice-president of corporate affairs to remain relatively consistent with that amount

paid this year.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS AND

DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

None of our directors or executive officers, nor any proposed nominee for election as a director, nor any

person who beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, shares carrying more than 5% of the voting rights

attached to all of our outstanding shares, nor any members of the immediate family (including spouse,

parents, children, siblings, and inlaws) of any of the foregoing persons has any material interest, direct or

indirect, in any transaction since the beginning of our last fiscal year or in any presently proposed

transaction which, in either case, has or will materially affect us except the following consulting fees and

option grants:

    Gilbert Burciaga, our former sole executive officer and a former director. Mr. Burciaga entered into

a resignation and separation agreement pursuant to which he relinquished any accrued

compensation pursuant to his employment agreement and cancelled his outstanding options in

exchange for the option to purchase 3,000,000 common shares for a period of three years from the

date of grant at an exercise price of $0.25 per share.

    Nora Coccaro, vice-president of corporate affairs and a director, pursuant to a consulting agreement

dated March 16, 2000, realized $96,240 in consulting fees for the year ended  December 31, 2011.

The Company is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board inter-dealer quotation system, which does not have

director independence requirements. NASDAQ Rule 4200(a)(15). NASDAQ Rule 4200(a)(15) states that a

director is not considered to be independent if he or she is also an executive officer or employee of the

corporation. Under this standard Mr. Russenberger and Mr. Müller could each be considered independent

directors. Nonetheless, due to the number of financing transactions between the Company and entities

managed by either Mr. Russenberger or Mr. Müller, we do not believe that our board of directors includes

any independent directors.
